Taotao looked at him doubtfully, seeming to be deep in thought, so she asked in confusion: "Dad, what are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing." Mu Shaoling did not tell him the confusion in his heart.
We only knew Nianmu for a few days, where did that familiar feeling come from?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Taotao didn't ask any questions. She sat back down and waited for Nian Mu to come back from buying groceries. He shook his legs and naturally said to himself: "What will sister cook for us today?"
Seeing his son's greedy appearance, Mu Shaoling couldn't help but think about what Nianmu would cook for the father and son.
The other side.
Nian Mu walked into the supermarket and quickly purchased fresh ingredients with a shopping basket in hand.
She knew that Mu Shaoling and Taotao were picky eaters, so she was very strict and conscientious when choosing dishes.
When she saw these vegetables and meat, she immediately had a recipe in mind. After completing the purchase, she remembered that there should be no seasonings and rice in the apartment, so she went to buy some more.
All of a sudden, the shopping basket was filled to the brim, and Nianmu carried it to the front desk to check out.
Because there were more people during off-duty hours, it was already half an hour after she paid.
She hurried to the car carrying two bags.
Seeing her coming from a distance, Taotao opened the car door excitedly and said, "Sister is finally back."
Nianmu put the two bags into the car before getting in. Looking at the man sitting in the driver's seat, she subconsciously apologized, "Sorry, there are a lot of people in the supermarket."
"It's okay." Mu Shaoling looked at her red face in the rear mirror, as if she had been walking a little hastily just now.
She just carried two bags of things, they must be very heavy...
Nianmu raised his head and looked at the rear mirror.
Mu Shaoling was stunned for a moment. The moment he came to his senses, he started the car and drove towards the apartment.
In the car, Taotao looked at the two bags full of things excitedly and said with twinkling eyes: "Sister, why did you buy so many vegetables? Although dad is better at eating, he can't eat that much."
Nian Mu touched his head and explained: "There are some seasonings and rice in it."
"So that's it!" Taotao nodded.
Mu Shaoling, who was in charge of driving, heard her words and thought silently. She was very attentive and could guess that rice and seasonings were not prepared at the apartment.
After the three of them arrived at the apartment, Nian Mu got out of the car with two bags of things. Because of the long-term training on the horror island, she felt that the two bags of things were nothing.
Carrying.
"Sister, let me help you." Taotao is a gentleman and wants to help her carry it.
Nian Mu did not let go, shook his head and said: "These are not heavy, I can just carry them."
"Dad..." Taotao turned around and looked at Mu Shaoling who was walking over, "Help sister carry it."
"Yes." Mu Shaoling nodded, looked at Nian Mu and said, "Let me do it."
"It's okay..." As soon as Nian Mu finished speaking, Mu Shaoling took away all the bags in his hand.
When he leaned over slightly to take the bag, she smelled a familiar breath of mint. It was cold, but it warmed her heart.
Nian Mu's eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red. This cold breath was his unique smell. During the countless nights on the horror island, she tossed and turned, thinking about him.
Mu Shaoling picked up the bag and walked towards the elevator.
Taotao took her hand and said, "Sister, let's go."
"Ah, okay." Nianmu came back to his senses, holding the child's hand and walking towards the elevator together.
The elevator arrived just in time. As soon as they got there, an elevator stopped on the first floor. The three of them went in together. She watched Mu Shaoling press the floor button, and her emotions and discomfort became even more intense.
This place was once her home...
Nianmu's cell phone rang, interrupting her emotion. She hurriedly took out her cell phone and took a look. It was Amul's call.
Mu Shaoling was here and it was not convenient for her to answer the call, so she ended the call and sent a text message instead, telling Amul that she had to work overtime today and did not have to wait for her to go back for dinner.
Amul soon responded to the message, saying that he knew.
Nianmu put away his phone.
Mu Shaoling asked: "Whose phone number?"
Nian Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "Sales call."
Mu Shaoling did not continue to ask questions. He saw through it without revealing it. If it was a sales call, he would not be like this at all. He would reply after hanging up.
Nian Mu lowered her eyes slightly. When she heard the sound of the elevator opening the door, she raised her head again and watched Mu Shaoling walk out of the elevator.
Taotao shook her hand and said, "Sister, we're here."
"Yeah." Nian Mu nodded and followed the child out of the elevator.
Taotao was very happy, let go of Nian Mu's hand, rushed to the door first, entered the door lock password, and with a "tick" sound, the door opened.
"Sister, come in quickly!" The child waved to Nian Mu excitedly.
Nian Mu smiled and glanced at Mu Shaoling. He was still standing at the door...
For a moment, she felt a little cautious.
"Go in." Mu Shaoling said, her small changes completely falling into his eyes.
Nianmu nodded and walked in.
Mu Shaoling walked into the kitchen carrying two bags of things.
Taotao said excitedly: "Sister, the kitchen is right over there."
"Okay." Nian Mu looked at him. The child's excitement gradually infected her, and she couldn't help but smile. It was just that she cooked him a meal, and he was so happy.
Maybe the idea of keeping a certain distance from your children is wrong.
Nian Mu raised his eyes and looked around the living room. The decoration here had not changed at all. Walking in, it was like entering a time tunnel, and he was transported back to three years ago.
Her eyes fell on the TV cabinet. There was a reflective surface there, and she could see the change in her appearance.
Nian Mu was slightly in a trance. She had not traveled through time, but everything here had not changed.
In this space, the biggest change is that I have changed my appearance and mentality, and Taotao has also grown a lot taller.
Nian Mu looked away, not wanting to see her appearance at this moment again. She lowered her head and said to Taotao, "I'll go to the kitchen first."
"Okay sister!" Taotao nodded and sat on the sofa obediently. He had been taught from childhood that the kitchen was a place where children were not allowed to enter, so he did not follow.
Nian Mu walked into the kitchen and Mu Shaoling was taking out the bags of ingredients.
Watching him put a bag of rice on the cooking table, she stepped forward and said, "I'll do it."
Mu Shaoling gave up his seat. He was not familiar with things in the kitchen.
Nian Mu quickly took out the remaining ingredients and placed them on the cooking table, remaining silent.
Mu Shaoling looked at her arrangement habits and frowned slightly. She didn't arrange them randomly. Every ingredient or seasoning had her own custom.
This habit seemed familiar to him.
"Do you also like to arrange it like this?" Mu Shaoling suddenly asked loudly.
