The sun was shining in the sky, Mu Wan looked up at Liu Qianxiu, her heart sank, her eyes didn't blink for a moment, her tone was uncertain, "Did you hear that?"
"No." Liu Qianxiu denied, looking down at her. Her hair was tied up, and the broken hair was also plated with a layer of red light. The sea breeze blew her hair like seaweed.
"I'll listen when you want to tell me."
She wanted to say it now, but she didn't know what the result would be. Mu Wan laughed and said, "That's true, I will definitely tell you about it in the future."
The afterglow of the setting sun elongated and magnified the beauty of the seascape. The setting sun entered the sea, and the gravel slipped under their feet, and the two left the seaside.
Mu Wan didn't fall asleep today, so she went to Xu Xingkong's house with Liu Qianxiu. The doorbell rang, and Xu Xingkong opened the door. When he saw Mu Wan standing behind Liu Qianxiu, his eyes lit up slightly, and he laughed.
"You guys are here, come in quickly."
Mu Wan stood behind Liu Qianxiu, seeing Xu Xingkong smiling, she also laughed. Mu Wan likes Xu Xingkong very much. She has the unique gentleness of Jiangnan women, like a tulle draped in a shallow stream, flowing slowly with the water, flexible and soft. From Xu Xingkong, she found the commonality between her and her mother, which made her feel very close.
There were four cats in total, divided into two cat cages, Liu Qianxiu held one in each hand, and Mu Wan only held a box of strawberry milk in his hand. After entering the door, Mu Wan handed over the strawberry milk.
"It's for you. It's very sweet. Liu Qianxiu bought it."
Looking up at Liu Qianxiu, Xu Xingkong reached out to take it, and said with a smile, "Thank you~"
Carrying the cat cage to the cat room, Liu Qianxiu received a call after putting down the cat cage. He pressed the answer button and got up to go out. Only Mu Wan and Xu Xingkong were left in the cat room. Mu Wan knelt down and let Zhou Yi and San Xiaozhi out.
Xu Xingkong wanted to help, but Mu Wan quickly said no, and opened the cat cage, Zhou Yi ran out first. Zhou Yi was obviously familiar with this place, and climbed onto the cat climbing frame after he came out, while the three little ones came out of the cat cage with a childish cry as if they had been coated with glue, and then lingered on Mu night feet.
"The kitten is clingy." Xu Xingkong looked at the three little ones, and finally squatted down. The posture of her squatting was slightly backward. Mu Wan thought it was a personal habit and didn't care.
"But they are much more sticky to Liu Qianxiu." Mu Wan pointed to Liu Qianxiu who was on the phone outside the door. His voice was so low that he couldn't hear what he was talking about. He could only hear a few words occasionally. Work-related.
Liu Qianxiu at work seemed to have a different charm, and Mu Wan was fascinated by listening. When she came back to her senses and saw Xu Xingkong looking at her, Mu Wan's face became hot, she looked away, and put her hands on the heads of the three little cats, "These three cats belong to me, but Liu Qianxiu He was afraid that I would not be able to support him, so he raised it first, and I will take it back when he grows up."
"Qianxiu likes cats very much." When the topic came to Liu Qianxiu, Xu Xingkong smiled and said, "He also gave my husband our cat."
"Ah." Mu Wan was surprised, and remembered what Liu Qianxiu said at the beginning, and laughed, "He said his friend can't raise it, but his friend's wife is raising it."
"Yeah." Thinking of Mimi's situation in Huaijing's house at the beginning, Xu Xingkong agreed, "He didn't know how to raise it, so I took it back to raise it later."
"Then you also met because of the cat?" Mu Wan asked.
"That's not true." Xu Xingkong's cheeks flushed slightly when he mentioned the past. The intersection between her and Huai Jing didn't actually start with the cat, but the cat also ran through it all the way.
"Your husband must be a very gentle person." Mu Wan looked at Xu Xingkong, the woman's eyes were filled with happiness, which warmed her heart.
Mu Wan has never met Xu Xingkong's husband, but she can feel it. Their house is big and empty, but not deserted, every corner of the house is covered with a layer of light warmth. If it were not for the love between the two, the family would not have such a strong sense of happiness.
Regarding Mu Wan's evaluation of her husband, Xu Xingkong bent his lips, but did not admit it, and only said: "Well, he is very gentle to me."
"That's great." Mu Wan said with emotion, stretched out her hand to poke Zhong Fen's ear, and said in a low voice, "If only Liu Qianxiu was like this."
While talking, the door of the cat room opened, and both of them turned their heads to look at the past. Liu Qianxiu swept his eyes away, and finally his eyes fell on Mu Wan, and said, "I have something to do in the hospital, I have to go back now."
Xu Xingkong sent the two of them out to get into the car, and Mu Wan waved goodbye to her and put on his seat belts.
The sun had completely set, night fell, and the street lamps were lit up in rows, brightly illuminating the coastal road. Liu Qianxiu worked steadily, and so did driving. Mu Wan leaned on the car seat and looked at the lighthouse standing on the cliff by the sea.
"What's the matter at the hospital?" The light from the lighthouse swept across, Mu Wan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked away, and asked Liu Qianxiu who was driving next to him.
"There will be a meeting to discuss the issue of surgery tomorrow." Liu Qianxiu replied.
"Oh." Mu Wan responded and asked, "Will the meeting take a long time?"
"Well, you go home first." Liu Qianxiu said.
Eyelashes moved slightly, Mu Wan looked at the man's side face and asked, "Which one?"
The car stopped at the traffic light, Liu Qianxiu turned his head. The woman's eyes were full of broken light, and she was looking at him with a smile.
"I may not be able to finish my work very late." The operation is due tomorrow, and the plan has not yet been finalized.
"I can wait for you." Mu Wan said.
What is she waiting for him for? Anyway, it must not be dinner, after all, it is already seven o'clock, and he will go back at least after nine o'clock. After Mu Wan finished speaking, she closed her lips and said awkwardly, "Ah, it's too late and you don't even have dinner."
"Go to my house." Liu Qianxiu said lightly, "I don't have time to take you home now."
Tanger Hospital is close to Nanfeng's apartment. If he wants to go back to Mu Wan's house, it will take an hour to go back and forth. He really doesn't have time to send it.
The corners of her lips were slightly pursed, Mu Wan nodded and said, "Okay, I'm fine, I can be anywhere."
Liu Qianxiu only sent Mu Wan to the door of Nanfeng's apartment, and he told her the password at home. Mu Wan entered the password, and the door unlocked. She pressed the door handle and opened the door.
The room was pitch dark, and Mu Wan was familiar with driving, so she turned on the light in the living room. The lights spread across the living room, it was empty and lonely, even the elusive Zhou Yi was not there, she was the only one in the whole room.
It's similar to her home, but different, she will always be alone at home, here, for an hour, or two hours... or no matter how many hours, as long as she waits, Liu Qianxiu will come back.
Mu Wan walked up to the short table, took off her shoes, walked onto the carpet, and sat down cross-legged. The books on the short table are still those books, and Liu Qianxiu seems to read them back and forth many times. I don't know how he can read such a boring book.
After sitting for a while, Mu Wan looked out of the window. The living room faced south, with a wide view, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky, which was cold and white, which magnified the desertedness of the living room a bit.
There were still a few wisps of agarwood in the living room, and Mu Wan leaned against the load-bearing wall of the living room, taking the entire living room into view. Looking at it alone on a moonlit night, this arrangement is really a bit like a Taoist temple.
However, no matter how similar the arrangement is, he is still in the midst of a troubled world, so Liu Qianxiu probably wants to go to the Taoist temple to practice.
Waiting is actually very boring. Mu Wan has waited for many scenes on the set, and there are many times when she waits to fall asleep, and that is still in broad daylight. But now that she was waiting for him at Liu Qianxiu's house at night, she didn't feel sleepy.
She leaned forward, took out her phone, and started playing games.
It was already eleven o'clock when Liu Qianxiu came home. In the living room, only the desk lamp was turned on, and one side of the lamp shrouded the woman lying on the low table. The slender body curled up into a small circle, but it seemed to fill the entire living room.
She was in a deep sleep, with her face resting on her arms, facing the direction of the living room, as if she couldn't hold herself back and fell asleep when she was looking at the door and waiting for him to come back.
The hair hangs down on the shoulders, the facial features are bright on the small cheeks, the eyes are closed tightly, the long eyelashes cast a half-circle shadow under the eyelids, and the expression is calm and peaceful.
Although it was far away, Liu Qianxiu looked at her and seemed to be able to hear the sound of her breathing, which was even and long.
She had been waiting for him, and when he came back, he got up and walked over.
It was not comfortable to sleep on the low table. After waiting for a long time, Mu Wan was sleepy, so she squinted her eyes a little. She was not asleep. In a shallow sleep, she felt someone walking towards her. Mu Wan gradually became conscious and opened her eyes.
The man stood beside the short table, his eyelashes drooping slightly, and he was looking at her. Mu Wan raised her eyes and met his dark and clear eyes.
"You're back." Her voice was a little hoarse, she closed her eyes and crushed on her arm, opened her eyes, and raised her head.
"Why didn't you go back to the room?" Liu Qianxiu looked at her and rubbed her neck, pressing her white fingers on the black hair, leaning back slightly, the line of her front neck was smooth and beautiful under the shadow of the light.
"I'll wait for you." Mu Wan shrugged her shoulders slightly, her shoulders were thin and straight, the dimple of her neck was obvious, and her eyes were black and bright. She laughed, put her hands on the table, and said, "Since you're back, I'll go back to my room..."
Before she finished speaking, she supported her body with her arms and wanted to stand up, but her legs were weak, and the numbness ran through her lower body from the soles of her feet. Mu Wan staggered and lost her balance instantly.
The moment her body leaned to the short table, she reached out to grab the man in front of her, but before she could grab it, the man grabbed her.
His hand rested on her waist, and Mu Wan froze.
The man's palm is large, and the palm is dry and cool, passing through the thin material to her skin. It was obviously cold to the touch, but it made her a little hot.
Jaw trembling slightly, Mu Wan looked up at him and said, "My feet are numb..."
Before she finished speaking, she tilted her body, Mu Wan's heart trembled, and she let out a soft "ah", her body flew into the air, and was hugged by Liu Qianxiu.
In order to prevent herself from falling, Mu Wan hugged his neck with both hands, her eyes widened.
"Liu Qianxiu." In the quiet living room, Mu Wan could only hear her own heartbeat. She was very close to him, and he looked down at her, listening to her call his name.
"En." Liu Qianxiu responded, and carried her into the second bedroom.
The last time I sent her in, Liu Qianxiu was familiar with the road. Putting her on the bed, the man turned on the night light.
Under the light, the two looked at each other, as if they both had something to say, but they seemed to have nothing to say.
Mu Wan was covered with a quilt, and her body gradually relaxed. She looked into Liu Qianxiu's eyes, and her consciousness also became loose.
"Liu Qianxiu, why did you promise me to go to the Taoist temple with you?"
Liu Qianxiu looked at her, the woman's voice became softer, and her eyes slowly closed.
"Want to see if the environment affects my mood."
"Will that environment affect your state of mind?" Mu Wan closed her eyes with her palm-sized face tilted on the pillow.
The Adam's apple moved slightly, and Liu Qianxiu listened to the woman's gradual and even breathing, with a low voice.
"No. Only people do."
