That night, about Mu Haifeng and Linda, their topic can be said to be a commonplace between the two, but after all, it has not been so privately face-to-face for so long. Facing Mu Haifeng's deep affection, Linda still needs him, so he must deal with it carefully.
In the end, the two separated, and they were the same as before, walking separately, one after the other, two completely different directions.
When Mu Haifeng returned to the Mu family's old house, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. The two of them ate early for dinner, and they were hungry after eight o'clock. Aunt Zhou went to the kitchen to cook two bowls of ramen. Yan Zhenli and Mu Just after Haifan had eaten it, Mu Haifeng came back by chance.
"Look at it, you're not lucky, aren't you?" Yan Zhenli held an empty noodle bowl in her hand, and said with a smile that Aunt Zhou would cook another bowl.
Aunt Zhou had just responded, and before he could move, Mu Haifeng waved his hand: "Aunt Zhou, don't bother, I'm not hungry, just go to rest early."
Mu Haifeng was in the Mu family. No matter whether it was up or down, he had always performed very well. After so many years, there was not even a single gap. Aunt Zhou always felt that this second master was easy to get along with. The chopsticks left.
Mu Haifeng had been drinking in the evening, and he was a little dizzy when he drove all the way back. Now that he saw Mu Haifan making tea, he knew that he would not be able to go to the guest room upstairs for a while, so he simply sat down.
"Brother, are you drinking tea so late?"
Mu Haifan just smiled and asked him, "Is Pu'er any good?"
Mu Haifeng said yes, of course, Yan Zhenli was informed and knowledgeable and had already gone to the upstairs bedroom to sleep first.
In the cold winter, the fireplace in the living room was dyed with flames. Just opposite Mu Haifeng, he was already drunk, but now he was smoked by such a curling tea fragrance, which made him more and more misty. At the same time, he felt a sense of comfort.
Consciousness travels through, it seems to return to a very young time in an instant. At that time, there was no sister-in-law in the Mu family's old house, and there was no woman Linda in his life.
At that time, he and his eldest brother Mu Haifan were especially close. He still remembered that it snowed heavily in winter. They were like tonight, sitting in pairs, with an open fire in the fireplace and a pot of incense. How many long nights have passed.
How long has it been... Mu Haifeng almost no longer remembers the last time he talked like this in a candlelit night.
It doesn't matter anymore...
'Big brother has something on your mind? It's so late to drink tea, don't you plan to sleep tonight? "After clearing up those feelings of displacement, Mu Haifeng asked teasingly.
Mu Haifan didn't show the mountains or the water. He raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly, but what he said made Mu Haifeng startled. He said, "Is this the other way around? Isn't it you who has something on your mind?"
Mu Haifeng was speechless for a moment, but he quickly reacted and changed the topic and situation slightly dryly: "What did you say, brother, what can I have on my mind."
"Then you have to ask yourself, I'm not a roundworm in your stomach." Mu Haifan poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of him.
After all, Mu Haifeng is someone who has experienced strong winds and waves. Even if he is frightened, he can endure it without revealing any clues. What's more, he has a way to convince Mu Haifan that his big brother has always believed his words.
"How did Big Brother know that I have something on my mind?"
Mu Haifan tapped the table with his fingers, and seemed a little bored in the middle of the night, but he said with certainty: "You drank a little too much today, you have always been very measured."
"Haha..." Mu Haifeng laughed, and in a short period of time he had a foolproof remark: "You can't fill your eyes with anything, eldest brother, you really have eaten a few more years than me."
"Then let's recruit from the real thing, what happened?"
At this point, Mu Haifeng has to say, no matter if it's true or not: "I'm going to Jingyi today."
"Well, I know this, otherwise where else can you go."
"I had a heart-to-heart talk with Nanfeng. I haven't been so trusting with him for a long time. I found that my nephew has grown up." Mu Haifeng said again.
When this matter was mentioned, Mu Haifan was also very relieved, and he echoed with a low "um": "My sister-in-law and I both feel that it was a good thing to be so troubled by Chengcheng in July, Nanfeng. A lot has changed for that.”
Yes, Mu Nanfeng's change is obvious to all, which Mu Haifeng has to admit, although... this is not what he likes.
"A good thing sounds like a good thing, but..." Mu Haifeng paused, and after a few seconds he said again: "Is there really no connection between Chengcheng and our family?"
Mu Haifeng had the intention to make Mu Haifan mistakenly think there was something, so the meaning was clear, and sure enough... Mu Haifan put down the teacup and asked him, "Have you heard anything?"
In front of Mu Nanfeng's request, he has Mu Haifan's questioning in the back. It is not easy for Mu Haifeng to be in the middle, but for his own future and Linda's future, he has no other choice.
"It's not like I heard anything. I mentioned it when I talked to Nanfeng today. He didn't think so, but we don't have it in our hearts about such a serious matter. Gu Chengcheng still doesn't have it at all."
Mu Haifeng is a cautious person, and there is no loophole in his speech. If there is such a provocation, even if Mu Haifan has doubts and asks Mu Nanfeng in person, it does not matter much.
What's more, what he said was reasonable.
"Chengcheng and Gu Nan are the two children we grew up with. Filial piety is good, but we can't blindly or even guess randomly. This will inevitably affect our lives in the future, not to mention the fact that the Gu family has passed for so long. The police have been staring at it all the time, why should it affect the children's lives."
It's reasonable and reasonable. Mu Haifeng's words of self-liberation are reasonable and reasonable. Mu Haifan has been in the shopping mall for so many years, and he claims to have read countless people, but he has never seen it at all. In other words, he trusts his cousin too much.
"You're right, I'll talk to your sister-in-law when you have time. We always hope that they can let go and live a good life. We always hold on to the positive energy of the past that can't be thrown away."
These words were in Mu Haifeng's arms, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his jaw was no longer so tight.
"That's good, don't think about mentioning those things anymore, Chengcheng and Nanfeng can get along better."
Mu Haifan still didn't feel anything wrong, he finally took a sip of the slightly cold Pu'er tea, put down the cup and patted Mu Haifeng's shoulder: "Okay, it's getting late, rest early, if you have anything to say tomorrow. "
"Okay, good night, eldest brother." Standing up, Mu Haifeng's obedient cousin's role was very good.
