Chapter 23(1/2)
"You two are ready to have lunch together?" Lin Wei's face was shiny and white and red. After she finished speaking, she concluded: "Then you rounded up and lived together!"
As soon as Mu Wan came out of Liu Qianxiu's house, Lin Wei called her house. She invited the beautician from the beauty salon to make her face, and she did it for Mu Wan as well.
Mu Wan was lying on another recliner with a mask on her face. She had not had a rest until she was filming at 4 o'clock in the morning and was a little drowsy. But the sleepiness she had just gathered, was rounded up by Lin Wei and said it was separated. She glanced at Lin Wei and said, "Let's just wait for me to live in his house."
Moreover, even if she sleeps in his house, there may not be any substantial progress. She stayed in Liu Qianxiu's room for two nights while in Wencheng. If Liu Qianxiu is interested in her, nothing will not happen. However, Mu Wan did not say this because she felt a little embarrassed.
"I have eaten lunch and dinner together. Isn't it a matter of time before sleeping at his house?" Lin Wei was patted with her face, and her tone was inevitable. "Boil the frog in warm water, and just teas Liu Shangxian little by little."
The beautician's face-patterning sound was particularly hypnotized, and Mu Wan was confused again. She muttered, "Everyone said it was a god, but it was not so easy for a god to descend to earth."
"I think you're not attacking enough." Lin Wei turned around, looked at Mu Wan with her sideways, and gave her an idea, "Next time you take the initiative to live in his house, let's talk about living together first. After all, under the same roof, you will get the moon first."
"I slept under his nose last time." Mu Wan glanced at Lin Wei, "Also, he is a person who pays great attention to private space, and I don't want to disturb him too much."
Liu Qianxiu's home decoration is very simple, and the things are all odd, and they are only enough for themselves. The second bedroom is exquisitely decorated, but there is no trace of anyone living there, which shows that he never stays overnight.
"Are you thinking about him like that?" Lin Wei rolled her eyes. She took a shower last time, but Mu Wan came to slap the door and drove away the fitness coach she had made an appointment.
"Of course." Mu Wan grinned, "My man, I want to spoil it."
Lin Wei: “…”
After finishing his face, the beautician left. The two of them put their faces on the mirror and looked at the newly prepared skin like a demonic mirror. Mu Wan looked at it for a while and poked his fingers on his face, which was smooth and tender.
Lin Wei took her face away from the mirror and asked, "Will you eat vegetarian hotpot tonight?"
I just made my face and can't eat something that has a heavy taste.
"I have to go home." Mu Wan said while packing his things, "Are you going together? Wu Ma just called and said she had made a small steak for me."
The two are very close. Mu Wan sometimes goes back to Jingcheng's home with Lin Wei. In Xiacheng, Wu Ma cooks home-cooked dishes and asks Mu Wan to call her over to eat.
Lin Wei licked her lips and sighed, "Forget it, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back if I go, so I even made an appointment with a bartender tonight."
Mu Wan: "Isn't you still a fitness coach last time?"
Lin Wei: "I like to eat little wolf dogs recently. You will know that youth is capital, and my physical strength is amazing... How old is Taoist Liu?"
Mu Wan: “…”
When I took a taxi from Lin Wei's house, the sky gradually became cloudy when I was on the way. The heavy clouds hung in the air, as if it was not falling, suppressing and dull, and the air was filled with hot moisture.
Wu Ma was already waiting at home first. She had the key to her house, but Wu Ma was still used to knocking on the door first. After confirming that Mu Wan was not at home, she would take the key to open the door.
The meal was ready, and there was a table. There was no air conditioner in the living room. Mu Wan moved the floor-to-ceiling fan to have dinner. Wu Ma came to cook for her, just cooking, she never ate with her. Mu Wan held the bowl herself, listened to the fan, and also had the cliché of Wu Ma. Although she was clearly rich in life, she always felt that something was missing.
Wu's mother was talking about finding a boyfriend there again, which reminded Mu Wan of the last time she joked that Mu Qing had found a Shen family member, so she found a Liu family member to suppress her.
Now she does like a member of the Liu family, but she only has a pure surname, and has nothing to do with the Liu family. Moreover, she has not caught up with others yet.
Thinking of this, the small steaks in the bowl are a bit tasteless.
Liu Qianxiu said that he had dinner with his family. How many people were there in his family? Who were they? What did they do?
The small plate was full of gravy, and Mu Wan knew nothing about Liu Qianxiu.
Wu Ma was nagging about her boyfriend. Seeing Mu Wan’s lack of interest, she changed the topic and asked, “Your mother’s ten years of taboo, do you want to be with the Mu family?”
Speaking of her mother's ten-year death anniversary, Mu Wan's thoughts were withdrawn. Her expression remained unchanged. She bit her bones and said, "No, they sacrificed theirs, I sacrificed mine."
After she moved out of the Mu family, the sacrifices were all divided. Even before she moved out, they were also divided. After her mother's five-year death anniversary, the Mu family rarely went to sacrifice alone. This time it was the ten-year death anniversary, and the Mu family thought about doing it for their face.
"Last time Mu Qing said that you two were filming a movie together." Wu Ma hesitated for a while and spoke.
Mu Wan raised her eyes and looked at Wu Ma, picked up a piece of lotus root slice, and asked, "Well, what's wrong?"
"She said you are a professional and can't always act like this. If you don't have a play, you can go to her." When Wu Ma said this, she glanced at Mu Wan's expression.
"She wants me to beg her." Mu Wan lowered her eyes and bit the lotus root slices, and smiled softly.
Mu Qing has always been unable to compare with her. She has been inferior to her since she was a child. She pretended to be calm on the surface, but in fact she secretly showed off her boyfriend, resources, and villas. Seeing that she ignored her, she took the initiative to attack. Her purpose was nothing more than to make her bow her head and satisfy her vanity.
He practiced a layer of the skin of a lady from a wealthy family, but the inner thoughts of ordinary people were still the only ones who were in vain. Her mother Yan Mei cultivated her so carefully.
Wu Ma is a servant from the Mu family and has always lived in the Mu family. After dinner, Mu Wan took her to the entrance of the community to get her a car. The car rushed away and soon arrived in the west of the city.
There are many old-fashioned buildings in Xiacheng in the west, all of which are large mansions with green tiles and white walls. Xiacheng has developed very quickly, but the focus of development has never been to the west. This area has not been ruined, and many of the original residents of Xiacheng live.
The Mu family is a separate courtyard. When you enter the main entrance, there is a main hall. There is a small garden behind the main hall. On both sides of the small garden, there are two more courtyards.
When Wu Ma went back, she was about to meet Mu Qing going out. She was wearing a navy blue cheongsam and took an oil-paper umbrella. Shen Cheng, who was following her, was wearing a blue-robed gown. The two of them were preparing to attend a party themed by the Republic of China.
Seeing the two, Wu Ma lowered her head and shouted: "Miss, Mr. Shen."
She was short and Shen Cheng didn't see it at first. After hearing her greeting, he nodded politely. But Mu Qing saw what she was holding, smiled and asked, "Do you go find Mu Wan?"
After Mu Qing returned from studying abroad, he was much more kind than before. When Wu Ma heard her ask, she didn't dare to say it at first, after all, the Mu family has always been very secretive about Mu Wan. Every time she went to find Mu Wan, she would go when she was idle. Although the Mu family always knew about this, she probably felt that she couldn't make a big deal with it even if she was a servant. Moreover, she has been used to her work in the Mu family for so many years, so she did not fire her because of this.
Seeing that Wu Ma's lips moved and didn't dare to say it, Mu Qing simply asked, "Have you told her what I asked you to tell her?"
"I said it." Wu Ma didn't hesitate anymore and answered.
"What did she say?" Mu Qing's eyes were shining. She was tall and long. Although she was dressed dignified, she seemed to be asking questions in her momentum.
Wu Ma said: "She said she has a show now."
"Is that right?" A sneer seemed to be overflowing from Mu Qing's throat.
Wu Ma looked up at her, and the latter had already gotten up and left.
Mu Wan does have a show, such as today. She got up at five in the morning to film, and had lunch boxes on the crew at noon. She didn't finish the filming until seven in the evening.
The photography base seemed to have a large urn covered with quilt today, which was stuffy and wet. After the filming, Mu Wan changed her costume and walked out. After going out, he found that the entire Xiacheng was covered with quilt.
The clouds that rose yesterday still did not fall today, and they gathered more and more. The darkness was pressing against the sky, and the thick clouds rolled and were airtight.
On such a day, I was so hot that I felt irritable just standing outside. The pedestrians who were passing by didn’t have a good look on their faces, and they all rushed to their destination in a hurry.
Mu Wan's body was also wet and hot. She called Liu Qianxiu when she raised her hand to take the taxi. Mu Wan sent a text message to Liu Qianxiu at 5:30 and said she would be late today. Liu Qianxiu said that he happened to work overtime today.
The phone was quickly connected, and the man's voice was like a bamboo forest wind, exuding the cool smell of bamboo, splitting the heat on her body, and Mu Wan's eyes naturally bent down.
"Are you still in the hospital?"
"No, on the way home." Liu Qianxiu replied.
"Then I'll take a taxi to your house." Mu Wan didn't say anything. He looked up at the corner of his eyes and saw a taxi. He quickly raised his hand to greet him and ran to the taxi. "I got the taxi, so I won't talk about it for now~"
Mu Wan hung up the phone and ran to the taxi. She felt that she had just run away, as if she was swimming in hot water. When the door opened, the cold air penetrated into the pores. Mu Wan's skin tightened and she shivered.
"Master, go to Nanfeng Apartment."
The driver pressed the watch and looked at the dark clouds and said, "It will rain heavily tonight."
Leaning against the car window, Mu Wan's body gradually cooled down and he also looked up at the sky. Now looking at the past, there were dark clouds covering the city and the treacherous waves.
"I'll ask you to hurry up, otherwise it will rain on the road and I won't bring an umbrella."
Nanfeng Apartment does not allow foreign vehicles to enter the community. The entrance of the community is still a distance away from Liu Qianxiu's house. If it really rains, she will run over and get soaked in a drizzle.
"Okay." The driver stepped on the accelerator and left.
At around 7 o'clock, the traffic jam passed in Xiacheng, which was quite smooth. But the wind was not as fast as the car was driving. When it was almost time to reach Nanfeng Apartment, it started to rain in the sky. The raindrops that were predicated on heavy rain were very large, and they were smashing on the ground like coins. By the time Nanfeng Apartment, the ground was already half wet.
Listening to the raindrops hitting the roof of the car, the driver glanced at Mu Wan behind him and said, "You ask your family to come and pick them up. The raindrops are quite a bit too much, and it hurts a lot when they hit them."
Mu Wan is beautiful and has a slender figure, so the driver is inevitably a little pity for flowers and jade.
She is not going home, and she can’t bother to pick her up. Mu Wan did not explain to the driver. After handing him the money for the car, she smiled and said, “I was often beaten when I was a child, and I’m not afraid of pain.”
After saying that, Mu Wan and the driver thanked him and closed the car door.
As soon as she got off the car, the bean-sized raindrops hit her shoulders, her face and head, and the strength was indeed extraordinary. Mu Wan raised her hand to cover the rain and was about to run into the unit building where Liu Qianxiu's house was located.
While she was thinking about the route in her mind and was about to rush in, she looked up and saw a figure, and her heart beat.
The man was holding a black umbrella and standing tall and long at the entrance of the community. His skin was cold and white, especially under the black umbrella. His cold and white face had light eyebrows and eyes, and his eyes were pitch black and bright, like two bottomless clear ponds.
He stood there, pure and indifferent, and out of the world.
There was no one at the entrance of the community, the lights were on at the guard's room, and there was a silence inside, and there was only the sound of rain outside.
Mu Wan's heart seemed to be spread out with a layer of soft gauze.
She raised her legs and ran over.
As he ran closer, the man's eyebrows and eyes gradually became clearer. He looked at her, holding a pre-white supermarket shopping bag in his hand, which was opaque, but Mu Wan could guess what was inside.
She ordered sweet and sour lotus root diced this afternoon.
Mu Wan crashed into his umbrella like a duckweed. A faint sandalwood came to her. He protected her, and the raindrops could no longer hit her.
After her mother passed away, she couldn't remember how much rain she had been. She couldn't get it today.
After such a short distance, Mu Wan's body was wet, and there were some raindrops on her white and tender face. She smiled and raised her hand to wipe it, making herself look less embarrassed. After the wipe, she looked up at him, her eyes shining brightly.
"Liu Qianxiu, are you waiting for me?"
Her voice was still sweet, and her tone was rising happily, like ripples of raindrops spreading on the water.
Liu Qianxiu looked at Mu Wan under the umbrella quietly. The street lights were on, and her shadow grew a little bit outside the umbrella, slender and long, like a cat's tail.
"Yes." Liu Qianxiu responded.
