"What's the matter?" Mu Li smiled.
Lin Qing was even more embarrassed: "I originally wanted to... make something to eat before you come back."
After Lin Qing's reminder, Mu Li remembered that when he was in the study, he noticed that the table was piled with books such as cookbooks. He knew Lin Qing's cooking skills very well, and he usually didn't read these books. Now he read them, probably to give him a surprise.
Seeing through Lin Qing's intention at a glance, Mu Li smiled and said, "Food? It's not too late for you to make it now."
Lin Qing shook his head: "Since it's already this late, why not just make brunch."
Mu Li flicked her forehead with his slender fingers: "What a confused little lazy bug."
"I'm not confused." Lin Qing's cheeks turned slightly red, and he lowered his head to retort.
Mu Li thought that she looked very cute like this.
So he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows again and stroked her cheek.
Lin Qing shrank back as if frightened and glanced at Mu Li again.
"Are you still hiding?" Mu Li seemed to have become immune to her behavior and moved closer.
"I didn't hide, I was just scared." Lin Qing was very honest.
Mu Li looked at her, probably to think whether what she said was true, and then said jokingly: "Since you are not hiding, why didn't you dare to speak when I asked you if you missed me yesterday?"
Lin Qing opened his eyes wide: "I spoke."
"Oh?" Mu Li pretended to be in deep thought, "What did you say? Why don't I have any impression of it?"
Under normal circumstances, Lin Qing would have immediately repeated the sentence and then looked calm.
But at this moment she hesitated.
This surprised Mu Li a little.
"Anyway..." Lin Qing bit her lip, as if organizing her words in her mind, "I've said everything I need to say."
Mu Li was amazed. After not seeing him for a few days, Lin Qing seemed to have become smarter.
"And," Lin Qing immediately added, "since you came back on time, you must have heard it."
Not bad, not bad. This child is teachable.
For Lin Qing, these few days were probably the longest and most depressing time she had ever experienced. She had never known that she could miss someone.
Wait, did she just say she missed me
Lin Qing's heart skipped a beat.
When did it start
It probably started early in the morning of the second day after Mu Li left, when she woke up from the double bed with freshly changed sheets and found no one around her. She made dinner and ate it alone, and turned on the TV to the military channel.
Lin Qing made a careful estimate in his mind.
She had to be careful and cautious.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but make a sad expression.
"What are you thinking about?" Mu Li was very aware that he was being ignored again.
"No, I didn't think anything!"
Lin Qing's reaction was a bit abnormal.
This answer aroused Mu Li's curiosity, so he pulled Lin Qing in front of him and stared straight into her eyes.
Her eyes were still as clear as water as usual, but there was a slight ripple in them.
Such shallow fluctuations could easily be overlooked, but were captured by Mu Li.
"You—" Mu Li opened his mouth, but before he could finish his words his cell phone rang.
Lin Qing blinked with relief, and very proactively helped him find his phone and answered the call.
She didn't speak into the microphone, but held it in front of Mu Li: "Here you go!"
This proactive look easily makes people think that there is an ulterior motive.
As smart as Mu Li was, he figured it out without wasting any time.
He didn't intend to answer the phone, but pulled Lin Qing into his arms and looked at her carefully.
From head to toe, this woman exuded a faint fragrance, as if it was innate, and as if it was born just for him.
He never thought that he would have such thoughts about a woman.
“Lin Qing…” Mu Li whispered, with warm breath coming out from his lips.
Lin Qing's heart trembled.
"Mu Li, you are too close to me..." Lin Qing clenched her hands.
"You are shaking." Mu Li smiled.
Lin Qing just stared at Mu Li's handsome face, her eyes full of his shadow.
If time stops at this moment forever... their fate will not be changed.
Isn't it? They don't have to go through all that pain and suffering anymore.
But at this moment, time flows like water, silently.
"Ahem, ahem."
A few coughs came from somewhere, as if to intentionally remind people of the existence of a third person.
"I say," the man's voice was vague and distant, "Can you two choose a time to flirt again? There is a good and innocent boy here."
A simple... good boy
Hearing that voice, Lin Qing suddenly remembered something.
Mu Li looked at his phone as if it were a monster. He thought Shan Rong was really... too smart.
Next time I see him, I must seal his mouth.
There was silence for a moment, no one made a sound, and Shan Rong said leisurely: "Tsk tsk tsk, are you shy and dare not speak?"
"If you ask me, there's nothing to be ashamed of. It's human nature to have feelings."
"But let me make it clear that I am not disturbing you. You answered the call yourself."
Shan Rong talked for a long time and didn't feel thirsty. Instead, he became more and more excited as he talked.
Mu Li picked up his phone and stopped Shan Rong who was about to speak again: "If you have something to say, say it quickly."
Shan Rong seemed to laugh on the other end of the line. Lin Qing couldn't hear it clearly. He only saw Mu Li respond a few times after a while and ended the call without saying a few words.
Lin Qing could imagine Shan Rong's smirk when Mu Li hung up the phone.
"What did he say?" Lin Qing was curious.
"It's just some trivial things, don't worry about it." Mu Li didn't even blink and decisively attributed Shan Rong to nothing but trivial matters.
Probably at this moment, Shan Rong just happened to sneezed loudly on the sofa in his living room.
"Then..." Lin Qing stuck out her tongue, "Will you still leave?"
In fact, she still cares about this matter very much.
Mu Li rubbed her hair: "I won't leave."
Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you very happy?" Mu Li asked with a wicked smile.
"Hmm..." Lin Qing said in a serious tone, "I'm generally happy."
"Let's go, I'll take you out." Seeing that the weather was just right, Mu Li took Lin Qing out.
City A fully deserves the title of a metropolis. Not only is the city center bustling, but the suburbs are also bustling with traffic.
The place where Mu Li and Lin Qing are now was once a rice field. Now, after it was acquired, villas and manors were built.
Further back, you can see the gardens of several families.
Of course, there are many trees here and the air is naturally very good.
Lin Qing hadn't smelled such fresh air for a long time. He felt much better and stood by the roadside, taking a few deep breaths in the wind.
so comfortable.
It's quiet and peaceful here. In fact, if you think about it, it would be a good choice to live here in the future.
Lin Qing's sight soon fell on a villa in the distance.
Mu Li held her in his arms from behind, and this time, Lin Qing was very obedient and not frightened. She leaned on Mu Li's chest and heard the sound of his heart beating - thump, thump.
Slow and steady.
"Like that villa?" Mu Li looked from afar. It turned out that he had already seen through Lin Qing's thoughts.
Lin Qing nodded.
"If you like it, buy it." Mu Li held Lin Qing tighter in his tone as if he was going to buy a bag of rice.
Lin Qing should have refused, his words were too nonsensical.
But she agreed for some reason: "Okay."
Her eyes were as calm as water.
It was as if he had seen through everything in front of him.
After walking a little further west, they reached the edge of the villa area. Mu Li was about to take Lin Qing back, but saw her standing there motionless.
"What's wrong?" Mu Li asked.
Lin Qing pointed at a building in the distance and asked doubtfully: "Is that... a church?"
church
Mu Li looked in the direction Lin Qing pointed and saw a large cross on top of the building, which was probably where Lin Qing guessed it was.
He reminisced for a moment and suddenly remembered that someone had mentioned before that there was a beautiful church in this area.
Many newlyweds hold wedding ceremonies and sign love contracts here.
Lin Qing, does she like these too
This was something Mu Li had never thought of.
However, Lin Qing just looked at it from a distance and had no intention of going. Mu Li took her hand and held her tightly in his broad palm.
"Want to go and take a look?" He had seen through Lin Qing's thoughts.
"I do." Lin Qing slightly opened her red lips and nodded gently.
Ten minutes later, after they crossed the villa area and passed two or three small gardens, they finally stood at the door of the church.
This church is really beautiful.
Standing in front of the church, she looked up devoutly.
The cross seemed to be telling someone's story, giving people a sense of sacredness and tranquility.
At this moment, she looked across the corridor and saw someone praying.
Mu Li thought that Lin Qing would go in and take a look.
But she just looked out quietly and had no intention of going in.
"I'll go in with you." Mu Li took the initiative to offer.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qing had no such plan.
She shook her head, and her pretty face suddenly showed some sadness, perhaps she was thinking of something in the past and felt a little lost.
When she was still a girl, she had fantasized countless times that one day when she got married, she would definitely hold her wedding in such a holy church.
However, time flies, and after all these years she no longer has such thoughts.
Mu Li thought that Lin Qing's distraught look was because of Chen Qudong.
This time, he was wrong.
But he still couldn't help but ask: "Does this place remind you of someone?"
Lin Qing pondered for a moment and nodded.
She thought of herself when she was younger.
Mu Li asked again: "Is he important to you?"
This time Lin Qing didn't say anything, just nodded.
Turns out, it is true.
It felt like something was hitting Mu Li's heart hard, and each hit became more and more painful.
The woman in the church finished her prayer and walked slowly down the long corridor.
At the door, the woman stopped.
Because they were standing right in front, Lin Qing moved to the side to make way.
But the woman remained unmoved and continued to stare at them blankly. Her eyes, filled with countless thoughts, finally fell on Lin Qing.
"Who are you?" The woman's voice was a little cold.
Lin Qing didn't expect the woman to speak to him, so he didn't respond for a moment.
The person who spoke for her was Mu Li.
He did not answer, but held Lin Qing in his arms, his eyes cold: "She is my wife."
