There were many trees in the park, and they were walking on a tree-lined path.
Although it is not yet the most prosperous blooming season, it is still very cool.
Lin Qing was telling the story of her and her best friend all the way, and Mu Li listened patiently, occasionally saying a few words to them.
The atmosphere is very harmonious.
Nestled in Mu Li's arms, Lin Qing felt that this moment was her happiest moment.
"We'll pick her up later and treat her to dinner, how about that?" Lin Qing raised her head. "We agreed before that the one who gets married first will bring her husband to treat us."
Mu Li smiled: "Okay."
3:15 pm, Glory Club.
Shan Rong, who was sitting in a private room, answered a phone call and made a helpless expression after hanging up.
This is probably God's will.
Six years ago, that person left, and I thought everything would be peaceful.
Now, that person is coming back again.
He wanted to call Mu Li, but suddenly thought of his brother.
Come to think of it, that man is quite sad.
Then, for some unknown reason, he withdrew his finger from the dial button.
He had a pretty good impression of Lin Qing, but... let's just let everything take its course.
At this time, his cell phone rang. It was Shan Lin calling.
"You already know it." Shan Lin said calmly on the phone.
Shan Rong smiled bitterly: "You are really well-informed."
"So you plan to tell Mu Li?" Shan Lin asked indifferently, without much fluctuation in his tone.
"I won't get involved in this mess." Shan Rong lazily leaned on the sofa, hooked his finger at the beautiful woman who just walked in, and hurriedly ended the call, "I'm going to continue playing. Don't look for me these two days if you have nothing to do."
After saying that, the sexy woman slowly approached. Shan Rong crossed his legs and a sly smile appeared on his face.
At 5:17 pm, they arrived at the largest international airport in City A.
Lin Qing said that her best friend just came back from New Zealand.
Mu Li looked up at the timetable and saw that the plane would land in twenty minutes.
Lin Qing's emotions gradually became more and more intense, and the hand he was holding on Mu Li was shaking a little.
"You are too nervous, Lin Qing." Mu Li calmed her down with a smile and held her fingers.
Only then did Lin Qing realize that he was too excited.
She stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and said, "It's been so long since we last met. I'm so happy."
Mu Li put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Looks like I have to hold you up."
Lin Qing lowered her head shyly, and after hearing the broadcast, she and Mu Li went to the airport together.
Finding the most conspicuous position, Lin Qing looked around while reminding Mu Li: "Help me keep an eye on it, don't miss it."
Mu Li laughed: "I don't know what she looks like, how can I help you?"
Lin Qing then remembered that she still had time to show Mu Li the photo of her best friend!
But it was too late. The broadcast announced that the plane was landing, so Lin Qing kept staring at the exit, not daring to relax for a moment.
Seeing how serious she was, Mu Li liked her even more.
The plane landed and passengers appeared at the exit and filed out.
There were a lot of passengers this time. Mu Li was just thinking that Lin Qing might not be able to find anyone when he heard her excitedly shouting a name beside him - "Xu Yuan!"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Qing broke free from Mu Li's arm and ran towards a certain direction.
Mu Li put his hands in his trouser pockets and laughed at Lin Qing's running back. Then he suddenly felt that the name Lin Qing called... sounded familiar.
He calmed himself down and looked in the direction Lin Qing ran.
A tall and beautiful woman was pulling a half-sized dark purple suitcase. When she saw Lin Qing, she slowed down and waved to Lin Qing vigorously.
"Lin Qing!" Xu Yuan was also very happy and shouted.
Lin Qing was even more excited, and rushed forward to hug Xu Yuan tightly: "You are finally back!"
"Do you miss me?" Xu Yuan asked confidently.
Lin Qing let her go, eyes slightly red: "Of course."
When he saw Lin Qing, Xu Yuan was also very excited.
If you count them up, they haven't seen each other for five or six years.
However, looking at this touching scene, Mu Li stood there with a somewhat strange expression.
The distance between them was only ten or twenty meters.
After walking this distance... Mu Li didn't think about it any further, his face looked a little cold.
"Didn't you say on the phone that you were getting married? Where's your husband? We agreed to meet each other!" Xu Yuan was over 1.7 meters tall, and even when Lin Qing was wearing high heels, her body proportions looked better.
Lin Qing just remembered this and took Xu Yuan's arm, very excited: "Come on, I'll take you there."
As she spoke, she brought Xu Yuan in front of Mu Li.
"Mu Li, this is my best friend—Xu Yuan." Lin Qing generously introduced this legendary best friend to Mu Li, and then pointed at Mu Li and introduced Xu Yuan, "He is my husband, Mu Li."
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little cold.
Besides being cold, there was also a strange sense of tension.
Looking at the two people who didn't respond, Lin Qing was a little embarrassed. He stood aside and gently shook Mu Li's sleeve: "Mu Li?"
Mu Li then said slowly and coldly: "Hello."
However, Xu Yuan was already there.
Lin Qing loosened his arm around Xu Yuan and saw that she looked unhappy: "Xu Yuan, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Yuan shook her head, her eyes reddened: "He is your husband?"
"Yes, that's right." Lin Qing was a little worried and asked, "Are you a little airsick?"
Xu Yuan opened his eyes wide, staring at Mu Li with his almond-shaped eyes, but he was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
However, Mu Li never set his eyes on her.
Lin Qing was just about to warm up the crowd when he saw Xu Yuan take several steps back, then turn around and walk a long way away.
She turned a corner and went into the bathroom next to her, leaving the suitcase there.
Lin Qing was confused and a little depressed. He asked sullenly, "What's wrong with her?"
Mu Li looked indifferent, and after a long while he spoke: "You said you knew each other in college?"
Lin Qing nodded: "Yes."
strangeness.
She thought to herself while looking at Mu Li.
Something was wrong with him today.
After that, Mu Li never spoke again.
Ten minutes later, Xu Yuan walked out of the bathroom slowly.
She seemed to have washed her face, and her makeup was much lighter.
Seeing Lin Qing still waiting there, she walked over and apologized for her previous misconduct.
"It's okay. Maybe it's because you just returned to China and you're still not used to it." Lin Qing didn't mind and tried to smooth things over.
Xu Yuan smiled as if nothing had happened: "Yes, it's probably because I haven't been home for a long time. Anyway, we are going to have dinner together tonight, you didn't forget, right?"
Lin Qing blinked mischievously: "How could I forget?"
The two of them smiled at each other, and it was like a reunion of sisters.
"That's good!" Xu Yuan felt relieved and walked with Lin Qing, pulling the suitcase.
After walking a few steps, Lin Qing said to Mu Li: "Help Xu Yuan carry the luggage, it looks heavy."
Mu Li went forward to take it in silence, but was rejected by Xu Yuan.
"No, I can do it myself."
There was no eye contact between the two, and their expressions were somewhat stiff and awkward.
Lin Qing thought Xu Yuan was being polite, so she pushed her and said, "Why are you so polite? You're not a stranger."
Xu Yuan forced a smile and handed the suitcase to Mu Li.
Lin Qing was only concerned with the excitement of seeing Xu Yuan again and didn't care about these fatal details at all.
She just thought that the two of them felt unnatural and distant because they were strangers to each other.
Holding Xu Yuan's arm, Lin Qing talked and laughed a lot along the way.
When they arrived at the car, Mu Li put the luggage in the trunk, and Lin Qing slipped into the back seat with Xu Yuan.
After Mu Li got into the car, he saw that there was no one in the passenger seat. He did not turn around, but just glanced back through the rearview mirror.
I saw Lin Qing whispering to Xu Yuan with a happy look on his face.
His eyes darkened and he started the sports car.
Lin Qing and Xu Yuan were chatting animatedly. They probably mentioned old things from their school days and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Lin Qing was rarely so happy, and Mu Li was also pleased to see it.
But his attitude towards Xu Yuan was abnormally cold.
When they came to the traffic light, Lin Qing moved to the middle, leaned over to Mu Li, and whispered, "Mu Li, say a few words too, and be more enthusiastic towards Xu Yuan!"
Mu Li had a cold face.
Lin Qing was a little unhappy: "After all, she is my best friend, you are too cold, can't you just smile?"
She complained and leaned forward again.
At this time, the green light came on and Mu Li stepped on the accelerator.
Unexpectedly, a fully powered motorcycle suddenly appeared from the right and passed in front of the car at full speed.
Fortunately, Mu Li braked suddenly and avoided a collision.
When the man on the motorcycle saw this, he pretended not to see it and left quickly.
Xu Yuan exclaimed from behind: "Lin Qing! Are you okay?"
Lin Qing's half body was leaning in the air just now, and the emergency brake was really scary.
If she hadn't held onto the back of the front seat, she would have probably hit her head.
Hearing the sound, Mu Li turned his head and looked—Lin Qing was patting his chest in shock, his little face turned red because of the fright.
"Lin Qing, you'd better be careful!" Mu Li frowned and shouted in a deep voice.
Lin Qing could only curl his lips and shrink back like a child who had done something wrong.
"Are you okay?" Xu Yuan asked worriedly.
Lin Qing smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's okay, I just got scared."
Xu Yuan was relieved: "You should be more careful next time."
Mu Li never said a word to Xu Yuan from beginning to end.
Xu Yuan stared at the rearview mirror and saw Mu Li's deep eyes. In secret, he clenched his hands and his nails dug deeply into the flesh.
Although Xu Yuan was born in City A and hadn't been back for many years, he had to take a closer look at this rapidly developing city.
There are tall buildings everywhere and the city is bustling. Even though it is getting dark, there are still many people going out.
Looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside the car window, Xu Yuan couldn't help but recall what happened before she left.
It’s been too long.
So much so that her memory began to blur and become confused.
Sure enough, everything was different from what she had imagined.
So she wanted to create new memories.
Soon, they arrived at the hotel they had booked.
Mu Li opened the car door for Lin Qing.
Lin Qing was thinking about Xu Yuan, so he got out of the car with her.
"The environment here is great. I've even booked a private room." Lin Qing pointed at the hotel and introduced it to Xu Yuan. "Wait a minute, where else do you want to go? We can go together later."
Xu Yuan smiled and interrupted Lin Qing: "I will not leave when I return to China this time. You don't have to worry. There will be plenty of time in the future!"
