She had never experienced anything similar in her previous life, and it was even more impossible for her to experience it here.
And think deeper.
A close relative by blood, but he only has painful memories left to him.
He would die without waiting for anything to happen.
this moment.
How should I face this fact?
Lin Yao thought about it for a moment.
Discover what it would be like if it were yourself.
Probably like Mu Wanqing, she would attend the funeral with an expressionless face.
Because I really don’t know what expression to make.
This relative left him only pain.
Even if he died, he would die of alcoholism...
After all these years, nothing has changed, nothing has changed.
Everything is just like when Mu Wanqing was a child.
So, now.
Was Mu Wanqing, who whispered that the other party's death was ugly, happy?
Lin Yao looked at Mu Wanqing who pursed her red lips, and looked at her profile.
Probably not.
Because her last close relative died.
Although he is a complete bad person.
Just a rotten person who taught her that poverty, marriage and men are original sins.
But at the same time, it was also her... final root.
Lin Yao looked away and looked forward, thinking of her roots.
She returned to Pengcheng and was the boss of Linmu Studio, the actual helmsman of YouMedia Technology, and a genius praised by many users.
But what if she leaves Linmu Studio, UMedia Technology, and her job?
If Lin Xi is gone, that unreliable father is gone, and grandma is gone...
Lin Yao will also feel that she is missing something.
To some extent.
In fact, everyone is the same.
The difference is.
Lin Yao's roots left her with some beautiful memories.
As for Mu Wanqing's roots, all she can recall is suffering.
But when a person dies, everything disappears.
The witness to all the hardships Mu Wanqing went through as a child.
They all disappeared without a trace with her father's death.
She can no longer return home in fine clothes, and can no longer tell others how good the little girl back then is now.
Like duckweed without roots.
Even though the roots of her bloodline have long been rotten.
But that's also her root.
"...Maybe I will never come back again."
Mu Wanqing hugged her long black stocking legs, slowly raised her head from her knees, and whispered.
"Um."
Lin Yao sat next to her, nodded slightly and responded.
"Actually, if I think about it carefully, I have experienced a lot of things while growing up."
Mu Wanqing seemed to be relieved and smiled softly: "I'm sorry to make you laugh. In fact, I shouldn't have asked you to come back with me... Maybe this way I can retain a good feeling in your heart and make you feel
I'm just a weird woman.
Rather than a poor person who is brooding about the past and has a tragic past."
"Oh, there's also the dark history of letting cows go free."
Talking and talking.
Mu Wanqing chuckled again.
"But I really wanted to be with someone at that time, and then I subconsciously thought of you. I'm really sorry. I hope you can forget about it when I go to work..."
Mu Wanqing was talking, but her words suddenly stopped.
Because Lin Yao suddenly stood up, then knelt in front of her, held her face in his hands, and forced her to raise her head and look at him.
"I'll remember that."
Lin Yao knelt in front of Mu Wanqing, held her face with both hands, and declared with great seriousness: "I will remember everything about Mu Wanqing. When I was in elementary school, I let the cows go. After the cows were sold, they were domestically abused.
I was forced to get married when I was in junior high school. I didn’t agree to be alone and make a living early. I worked part-time while studying. During the summer vacation, I worked three jobs a day for tuition. When my mother died, I had to pay for the funeral expenses. I was blamed for coming home a day late..."
Lin Yao took a deep breath, then looked at Mu Wanqing's beautiful face, and continued: "I also used to have a pathological desire to make a lot of money, enough money to feel at ease, because I was kicked out of the project team and paranoidly wanted to die with others.
, after becoming the general manager of Lin Mu Studio, he wanted to return home in fine clothes, including when you just said you regretted asking me to come back with you, this funeral, the Mu Wanqing was completely different at this funeral."
"I will remember all of this."
"I even use it to tease you on a regular basis, and during the Chinese New Year, I will use these things to blackmail you into coming home with me."
"..."
Mu Wanqing tightly grasped Lin Yao's sweater on both sides with both hands, pursed her red lips, and after a moment of silence, she said hoarsely: "This is too much."
"I will remember it if it goes too far."
Lin Yao let go of her face and knelt down. At the same time, she leaned forward, put her forehead against her smooth forehead, hugged her gently, and whispered:
"Even if everyone forgets Mu Wanqing, everything this person has gone through... I will remember it and will never forget it in this life."
"So be prepared, Miss Mu, the dark history of your life will be remembered by one person."
"..."
"...It's really too bad."
Mu Wanqing hugged Lin Yao's slender waist, suddenly sniffed, and said with a slight cry.
"Yes." Lin Yao moved his forehead, hugged her tightly, and gently rubbed her hair on the temples with his cheek.
"I obviously told you to forget."
When Mu Wanqing heard Lin Yao's answer, her crying became more obvious. She put her chin on Lin Yao's shoulder, and her voice became trembling: "Why do you remember these?"
"Don't worry about it."
Lin Yao said confidently: "Don't try to run away anyway, I will remember everything about you. Unless I die, I will always remember it."
"..."
Mu Wanqing hugged Lin Yao even harder, with a force that seemed to melt her into her body.
then.
A tear with body temperature fell on Lin Yao's white neck.
Then, more and more tears fell...
Mu Wanqing hugged Lin Yao in her arms, desperately trying to suppress her emotions.
But in the end I couldn't hold it back.
She couldn't help but make a sound.
A whimper.
And when the first whimper came out.
It's like a valve has been opened.
Mu Wanqing could no longer suppress her emotions.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Cry loudly.
She wasn't shedding tears because of her rotten father.
But because there was a person, when she felt that she was going to become a rootless duckweed and there was no place for her in the whole world.
tell myself.
She will remember everything about herself.
...remember everything about yourself.
Lin Yao also hugged Mu Wanqing tightly and whispered softly to comfort her.
not far away.
Xu Huan looked into the distance and listened to the cry coming from not far away. He was silent for a moment, picked off an unknown leaf and put it into the stream.
The leaves flowed slowly down the winding stream, passing behind Mu Wanqing and Lin Yao, and then continued to float into the distance.
Accompanied by Mu Wanqing's heartbreaking cry, accompanied by Lin Yao's soft murmur.
Floating to unknown distances.
…
The funeral is over.
In the end, Mu Wanqing and Lin Yao did not eat the flowing water banquet for the guests.
Two hours later.
After the two returned to Uncle Mu Wanqing's house.
He said goodbye.
Mu Wanqing left the funeral expenses, thanked her uncle, and then turned around and left with Lin Yao.
Mu Wanqing's uncle opened his mouth and wanted to speak.
But in the end.
After seeing the reddish corners of Mu Wanqing's eyes, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
He lifted his shoulders weakly, then looked back at his brother's photo, with his back to Mu Wanqing, and waved his hand gently.
Mu Wanqing didn't see it and didn't even look back.
At five o'clock that afternoon.
Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing got into the car and started on their way home.
And just as it came.
As soon as Mu Wanqing got in the car, she leaned on Lin Yao's shoulder and fell asleep without looking at the scenery for a while.
It's almost the same as when it came.
Except the corners of his eyes turned red.
And as Xu Huan drove away, drove away from the small mountain village, drove away from the small town, drove away from this unknown small city...
Lin Yao looked at the scenery outside the window.
There was a moment.
I even doubted whether what just happened happened.
It's all like a dream.
but.
As soon as this idea came to her mind, she saw Mu Wanqing on her shoulder.
Although Xu Huan drives very steadily.
But she still didn't sleep peacefully, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, as if she was having a nightmare.
There was still evidence of crying in the corner of her eyes.
"..."
Lin Yao pressed her slender white fingers on Mu Wanqing's brow and rubbed it gently.
Mu Wanqing's brows gradually relaxed.
Lin Yao smiled softly, then took out her cell phone and reported to her sister that she was safe again.
After getting a reply.
She also closed her eyes, leaned against Mu Wanqing, and fell asleep.
The last thought is - none of this is a dream, I have indeed witnessed a past that Mu Wanqing can't let go of...
Nearly three hours.
The car stopped.
"Lin Yao, here we are."
A gentle voice woke up Lin Yao.
She opened her eyes and found herself lying on Mu Wanqing's lap.
Lin Yao looked at Mu Wanqing and asked, "Why am I sleeping on your lap?"
Mu Wanqing shook her head, lowered her head and said gently: "I don't know either."
"never mind."
Lin Yao struggled to get up, stretched, and then asked: "How are you, are you recovering? What are you going to do next?"
"Have a meal."
Mu Wanqing opened the car door and pulled her out: "Aren't you hungry? You haven't eaten all day."
"Yes."
Lin Yao got out of the back seat and took a deep breath of fresh air: "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten. Where are you going to eat?"
"How about I do that?"
Mu Wanqing pulled Lin Yao, looked at the apartment where she lived, tilted her head and asked.
"OK."
Lin Yao's eyes lit up.
Mu Wanqing smiled and pulled Lin Yao upstairs.
soon.
Lin Yao arrived at Mu Wanqing's apartment.
This is also the first time she has come to Mu Wanqing's apartment.
Tell the truth.
The apartment is not too big.
Three bedrooms and one living room.
About ninety square meters.
Of course, it is more than enough for one person to live in.
Overall, the apartment is quite cozy.
Compared to the tycoon-like decoration in her hometown, Lin Yao actually prefers an apartment like this that is not too large but full of warm atmosphere.
So as soon as you enter the door.
She started looking around.
Mu Wanqing smiled softly, told her where the toilet was, and then went to the kitchen.
Lin Yao turned around.
The only feeling is clean and warm.
And just when she was about to go to Mu Wanqing's room, Mu Wanqing came out of the kitchen with two bowls of noodles.
She looked at Lin Yao and said apologetically: "Sorry, I forgot that there are not many ingredients at home. There are only meatballs and some vegetables, so I made noodles."
"As long as it fills my stomach."
Lin Yao didn't mind, and followed the scent to the dining table, then pulled out the chair very skillfully and sat down directly.
"I've wronged you. I'll do it again if I have the chance."
Mu Wanqing handed Kuai Zi to her and sat down opposite her.
Lin Yao shook her head and started eating noodles.
Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao and found that she was quite happy eating, then she lowered her head and started to deal with the noodles in front of her.
period.
Neither of them continued talking.
Let alone talking about what happened a few hours ago.
Everything before was as if it never happened.
And after finishing the noodles for dinner.
At Lin Yao's suggestion.
The two of them sat on the sofa and watched bad movies...
"Aren't you interested? What are those movies with a rating of only 2.0 points or so about?"
Lin Yao raised her index finger and said excitedly: "I'm very interested."
Mu Wanqing was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry, but couldn't resist Lin Yao, so she could only watch with her.
Lin Yao searched around enthusiastically and finally settled on a horror film with a rating of only 2.5 called "The Midnight Widow vs. the Straight Man"...
See the title of the movie.
Lin Yao became very interested...
Just click to play.
Then.
The two of them looked confused and doubtful about life the whole time.
After an excruciating hour and a half.
Lin Yao turned her head, looked at Mu Wanqing sitting on the sofa, and asked, "What do you think?"
"..."
Mu Wanqing took a deep breath, and then gave a cold evaluation: "Garbage! The logic doesn't make sense! No one with normal thinking ability would stay in a village that looks questionable at first glance! Camping, car
Is it bad to be inside? Do you have to set up a tent in the dark? It is even more outrageous when a ghost appears, and there is also a dark wind. I want to know, since the ghost is pretending, what is the dark wind? Is it blowing with an electric fan? "
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What is even more outrageous is the behavioral logic of the characters in the play. It is completely impossible to see where the straight man is..."
"..."
Lin Yao leaned on the sofa and hummed in agreement at first, but in the end she stopped talking at all and just put her hands on her cheeks while watching Mu Wanqing's output.
Mu Wanqing criticized the entire movie.
From the actions of the characters to the internal logic of the story, I complained about everything.
with full force.
until.
She noticed Lin Yao's gaze.
"It's really a bad movie."
Lin Yao noticed Mu Wanqing looking over and immediately nodded in agreement: "I won't read it again."
"……Um."
Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, then looked at Lin Yao's fair face, wondering what she was thinking.
Lin Yao didn't seem to notice her gaze. She picked up her phone, looked at the time, and then said with a smile: "It's almost eight o'clock in the evening, and I won't go back. Can you take me in for one night?"
Mu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "...of course."
"Lend me some clothes by the way."
Lin Yao put down her mobile phone: "I was in a hurry when I came, I didn't bring anything with me."
"Okay, I'll go find it right now."
Mu Wanqing immediately stood up from the sofa, then took a few steps forward. She thought of something and turned back: "What style of clothes do you want?"
"Just pajamas."
Lin Yao thought for a while and replied.
Mu Wanqing responded, and then went to her room to find pajamas.
After Lin Yao watched Mu Wanqing leave, she stretched out her index finger and lightly scratched her face.
It's really hard to confirm.
Is there anything wrong with Miss Mu...
She fell to her side, lay down on the sofa, and sighed.
…
It's around eight o'clock in the evening.
Wow——
Mu Wanqing got up from the bathtub.
The mist filled the room.
Her snow-white body like a lamb can be vaguely seen.
She went to the changing area barefoot, wiped off the water stains on her body, and put on her pajamas.
then.
She folded the clothes that she and Lin Yao had changed carefully and put them into the clothes basket. Then she straightened up, wiped away the fog, and finally looked at herself in front of the mirror.
After making sure there are no unnecessary expressions.
She stretched out her hands and patted her face, opened the bathroom door and walked out.
And as soon as you open the door.
She saw Lin Yao sitting on her bed, wondering what she was doing.
Lin Yao had already taken a bath before.
But even though more than half an hour had passed since she took a shower, her skin was still flushed, as if it could be broken by a blow, and it was very attractive.
And she is currently wearing a set of printed pajamas. Although it is very simple, it does not damage her charm at all.
That sense of simplicity.
On the contrary, it gave her a girl-next-door feel.
"Lin Yao?"
Mu Wanqing called out to the girl who lowered her head and wondered what she was doing.
"Come out? Come here, Miss Mu."
When Lin Yao heard the voice, she immediately raised her head and waved to her.
Mu Wanqing was a little surprised, but she still walked forward and sat sideways in front of Lin Yao.
"Close your eyes. I see that the marks on the corners of your eyes are still not gone. You need to apply a mask at this time, right?"
Lin Yao raised her hand, holding two eye mask patches: "What I just found in your cabinet... is this right?"
"..."
Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao who was offering a treasure, and burst into laughter: "This is it."
"Then close your eyes and I'll help you put it on."
Lin Yao took the eye mask and moved forward.
Mu Wanqing held the mattress with both hands and closed her eyes.
The next second.
A cold feeling came from near the bags under the eyes.
Mu Wanqing's delicate body trembled.
"Uncomfortable?" came Lin Yao's voice.
"Won't."
Mu Wanqing shook her head with very small movements, then hesitated for a moment and said: "Lin Yao."
"Um?"
"Actually, I'm fine now, so you don't have to worry too much."
"Do I care? I'm just putting on an eye mask for you."
"have."
Mu Wanqing said softly: "He was watching bad movies to delay time, he was letting me vent my complaints, and he was staying over on purpose. It's really obvious."
"It was seen..."
Lin Yao smiled sheepishly and then said: "Okay."
Mu Wanqing opened her eyes.
not far away.
Lin Yao knelt down on the bed, looked at her, and said helplessly: "After all, it was me who made you cry, and I should be responsible both emotionally and rationally. Just think of it as my fault, well... only for tonight."
"I actually admitted it." Mu Wanqing whispered.
"After all, you saw it all."
Lin Yao shrugged, then looked at Mu Wanqing, who seemed to be okay, hesitated for a moment, and opened her hands: "I'd better be direct... Do you want a hug? Do you want to cry again?"
"..."
Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao who opened her hand, but did not take any action.
"There is no store like this after passing this village." Lin Yao blinked and continued.
"..."
Mu Wanqing was silent for a moment, then took out the tissue on the side and took off the eye mask from the bags under her eyes.
"Hey, eh, eh."
When Lin Yao saw this scene, her beautiful eyes widened: "I just put it up..."
But before she could finish her words, Mu Wanqing leaned forward, opened her arms and hugged her kneeling on the bed.
Lin Yao was pressed and fell backward without struggling.
"For the last time, I will change back tomorrow."
Mu Wanqing hugged Lin Yao tightly, sniffed again, and then whispered.
What a shame.
Still can't help it...
Lin Yao was lying on a strange bed, holding Mu Wanqing in her arms, gently stroking her thin back, and whispered:
"It doesn't matter, you don't have to go back, Miss Mu."
"Because I like both the former Miss Mu and the current Miss Mu."
Mu Wanqing hugged Lin Yao tightly again: "No, it's too ugly."
"Fine……"
Lin Yao responded dumbfounded, then turned to look out the window.
Outside the window, the moon is waning, the stars are sparse, and the cold wind is howling.
But inside the room, the two people who were exchanging body temperatures really didn't feel cold at all.
