hope and gift

Teng Jiangyan hugged Mu Xiao in front of him forcefully, wishing he could rub him into her own flesh and blood.After listening for a while, his whole body was trembling, and his voice was a bit crying: "Stop talking, Mu Xiao, don't think about it anymore, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Why didn't he think at that time that no matter how addictive a drug is, how could it be as intense as Mu Xiao's performance in front of him for the first time? It was not the first time for Mu Xiao to take drugs.

He just went through withdrawal treatment once, how did he overcome the acquired reaction of vomiting and electric shock to eat those drugs?Why did he treat himself like this?And why was it not only Mu Yueru who was arrested shortly after that incident happened, but also Fang Shimei's father who was forced to commit suicide by jumping off a building, the result of Mu's group growing bigger and bigger?

Teng Jiangyan didn't even dare to think about what Mu Xiao had lived in the past four years, nor did he dare to think about the guilt and self-blame he had endured to survive. He completely understood why Mu Xiao never Tell yourself about these things.

The process of reminiscing is to expose scars painfully. Mu Xiao's deep-rooted scars have finally healed halfway, but they have to be torn again because of his own suffering, making him realize again and again that he has done something of all kinds of evil.

The dead cannot be cleansed in the underworld, and the living cannot be freed in the world, but the instigator wears a mask and happily accepts the audience's praise on the stage.

What a cruel fact.

Mu Xiao felt Teng Jiangyan's negative emotions, patted him on the back comfortingly, and persuaded him softly: "Everything is in the past."

"Mu Xiao, I've been through it, I know, it's impossible to pass." Teng Jiangyan tightened his fingers on the back of Mu Xiao's clothes, rubbing his clothes into creases, "You are also a victim, you You have the right to be wronged, don't carry it alone, okay?"

Mu Xiao buried his face on Teng Jiangyan's shoulder, and after a long time he said sullenly, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

Is it really okay?

Teng Jiangyan felt the slightly trembling body in his arms and the wetness of his shoulders, and the thousands of words in his heart seemed to have turned into a pool of warm water, soaking his heart sorely.

He hugged Mu Xiao without saying a word, and looked up at the scene outside the window.The skyline became crimson clouds, and the crimson sun revealed a small half, but it still illuminated the entire sky.

Mu Xiao recovered quickly, and hurriedly ran to make breakfast for him, who had a fever.

But not long after eating the cabbage porridge with shredded pork that Mu Xiao cooked for him early in the morning, Teng Jiangyan vomited up again, and after tossing and tossing for a long time, it was not until noon that his fever finally subsided.

However, although the fever subsided, the discomfort in the throat did not really ease. Teng Jiangyan tossed and turned on the bed, only feeling that even breathing would cause a burst of pain in the tonsils.

Mu Xiao poured him a glass of warm water, and sat on the sofa with him to watch TV for a while.After a while, he glanced at the time, picked up Teng Jiangyan who was leaning on him, and said, "I have to go."

"Yeah." Teng Jiangyan's voice was hoarse. After listening, he stood up from the sofa and helped him straighten the collar of his wrinkled clothes.

Mu Xiao grabbed his hand and stared at him for a long time.After finishing the collar, Teng Jiangyan looked back at him, but in the end he stretched out his hand to push Mu Xiao's hand away, opened the door for him, and sent him away silently.

Teng Jiangyan didn't know how to face Mu Xiao.On the one hand, he couldn't forgive Mu Xiao for compromising Mu Yueru, and on the other hand, he hated himself who couldn't let go of Mu Xiao's compromise. To put it bluntly, the problem was that he couldn't control himself from being jealous of Sun Yunyun.

After Mu Xiao left, Teng Jiangyan drank another glass of warm water and went to read the email Mu Chengming sent him.The content of the email is just like the title of the email, it is an ordinary email, and has nothing to do with Mu Xiao's experience at all.The content of the email is most related to the data and content of the professor's new topic. He also said that most of the extracurricular materials are stored in the network disk, and a link was given.

But after Teng Jiangyan clicked in, he found that the extraction code was needed, but after browsing the letter roughly, he did not find that the extraction code was mentioned in the text of the email.He thought that Mu Chengming had forgotten to give it, so he simply opened the downloaded attachment, planning to ask him after the things were finished.

There are two attachments, one is the real-time calculation process and results, I hope Teng Jiangyan will check it once; the other is the original data of the test, which is used to verify the results.

Although Teng Jiangyan was curious about what Mu Chengming said to Mu Xiao to make Mu Xiao suddenly come over and confess everything to him, but since the matter had already happened, the search for cause and effect was not as important as it was at the beginning. Instead, he only wanted to check the data and thank Mu Chengming for his reply.

There was something wrong with the verification process. The results produced by Teng Jiangyan's software and those produced by Mu Chengming were very different, just like the two did not use the same set of data.Teng Jiangyan carefully checked Mu Chengming's calculation process and found that he had made a weighting error in the double data analysis, but logically speaking, such a very low-level mistake is impossible to make in a result report.

A flash of light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered what Mu Xiaogang said about the fact that the relationship between Mu Yuelou and Mu Yueru was not harmonious.

He remembered that when Mu Chengming told him about the invitation, why did he mean that his father sent him news about Mu Xiao's marriage instead of his third uncle?Could it be that Mu Yuelou was really willing to take his son to Mu Xiao's wedding?

Mu Xiao has Mu Chengming's USB flash drive in his hand, and it is impossible to send a courier in such a short time, which means that the USB flash drive must have been handed over to him by Mu Chengming himself, and it also shows that Mu Chengming is now with Mu Xiao is in the same position - Mu Chengming must have been restricted from traveling.

Thinking of this, Teng Jiangyan sorted the data of Mu Chengming's mistakes from small to large, and then sorted out the four-digit extraction code according to the first capital letter of their values ​​in English.After he tentatively tried to enter it once, he actually entered the network disk.He glanced at the subpackages marked with the names of the materials in the network disk, downloaded the files with problems in the names and files that did not exist in the terminology to the U disk in turn, and then deleted all traces in the computer, and returned to Mu Chengming. Sent a very serious email.

Teng Jiangyan looked at the small USB flash drive in front of him anxiously. After sitting down and standing up a few times, he went to the living room and stared at the door for a while, then turned back and backed up the things to another USB flash drive.He removed the SD card from the other USB flash drive, carefully glued it to the base of his thigh with scotch tape, put the remaining one in his pocket, and hurried out with his laptop.

He walked along the crowded road to the university teaching building. In fact, he had already prepared a lot for his graduation thesis defense, which could be regarded as well-thought-out, but he had to call someone.

The professor was not in the office. Teng Jiangyan guessed that he should have gone to the laboratory, so he went in and took it to the door. After putting the laptop away, he used the landline of the teaching building to dial the number he knew so well before.

After a few beeps, the phone finally got through.

"Hello, who are you?"

Fang Shimei was a little wary of the unfamiliar number of the call, and it was a landline, and even her voice became a lot more serious.This is her private number, and no one else will know it except the person she voluntarily told. Of course, it is impossible for Mu Yueru to find out, because this mobile phone number is not registered with her ID card.

"Aunt Fang, I'm Teng Jiangyan, can I see you now?" Strangers lingering at the door of the office for too long will definitely arouse others' vigilance. After Teng Jiangyan entered the office, he was not worried about someone eavesdropping, so The speaking voice is much more natural.

"Xiaoyan?" Fang Shimei's tone was somewhat surprised, "Yes, where shall we meet?"

"I can't meet, I may be followed by someone sent by your husband now. I will go to a store to try on a piece of clothing, and then put what I want to give you in the pocket of the clothes. You just buy the clothes back." Teng Jiangyan said in a tone A lot more serious.

"Okay, what kind of clothes and which store." Fang Shimei knew that Teng Jiangyan was not a person who liked to joke, so she became serious when she heard this.

After the discussion between the two was over, Teng Jiangyan went out to trade first.Although the teaching building is safe, but other than that, Teng Jiangyan always feels that there are a pair of eyes staring at him in places where there are many people, so that he can't help his expression several times, and he can't even control his hands trembling.

Teng Jiangyan went to several shops selling women's clothing before going around to this one that he had discussed with Fang Shimei. The shopping guide kept a certain distance from him as soon as he entered the door, and said softly: "Hello, sir, may I ask?" Are you here to buy clothes for your girlfriend?"

"Hmm... that's right, I actually bought it for my sister." Teng Jiangyan casually glanced at the clothes on the display rack, picked up an inconspicuous but elegant long dress, and compared it to the model beside her. Compare.

"This style is a bit too mature, maybe it's more suitable for your mother, why don't you look at something else, sir?" The shopping guide kindly reminded, Teng Jiangyan put the dress back angrily, and went elsewhere on the advice of the shopping guide Picked a conservative but dignified long dress.

When Teng Jiangyan walked out the door, his hands shook more and more, and he could only cover it up by shaking his legs inadvertently.He didn't know whether Fang Shimei could buy the dress smoothly, and he felt tormented as if he was dancing on the tip of a knife for the rest of the road.

He deliberately slowed down but inadvertently walked around the World Trade Center a few times in a hurry. After buying clothes and shoes and contacting a makeup artist, he returned to the original store.The shopping guide obviously already knew him, and when he came in, he greeted him with a smile: "Sir, is there anything else I can do for you?"

"I like the dress I saw just now. Wrap it up for me too." Teng Jiangyan said as he gestured to take the card from his wallet, looking very relaxed.

After the shopping guide went there for a while, he came back empty-handed and said with a little apology: "I'm sorry, sir, that dress has been bought by another lady, and it may take a while for the new one to arrive, or you can keep it The next contact method, I will contact you when the goods arrive?"

"Forget it, I bought the clothes for my sister to rush to the banquet. It's hard work." After Teng Jiangyan said politely, he turned and left. The moment he left the door of the store, he let out a sigh of relief. Finally let go.Only then did he realize that his hands and feet were cold, and he even broke out in a cold sweat.

He was hit by someone on the way back, and when he realized it, he touched his pocket and found that the USB drive was really gone.However, thanks to Teng Jiangyan's preparations, he still pretended to look back and find the late night, and finally gave up directly.

But the unexpected joy was that when he opened the door tiredly, he smelled the aroma of lotus root pork rib soup.But Mu Xiao, the creator of this smell, sat on the sofa and kept leaning forward, nodding, with an open book on his knees, holding the pages of the book neatly with both hands.

He must have fallen asleep while reading a book and waiting for him to come back.

Teng Jiangyan shook his head helplessly, but the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.After changing his shoes, he walked to Mu Xiao's side, carefully removed the book on his knee, and whispered in his ear: "Don't sleep here, your neck will hurt."

Mu Xiao opened his eyes in a daze, stretched his waist and muttered: "Where did you go in the middle of the night, why did you just come back?"

Teng Jiangyan pecked his ear lightly, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I took a while to give Aunt Fang what Mu Chengming wanted to give me."

Hearing this, Mu Xiao became more energetic, so he got up and went to the kitchen to get a bowl for Teng Jiangyan to ladle soup, and asked one more question: "Mu Chengming has a USB flash drive here, why do you still have it? ?”

"It may be two parts. My part is probably more shameful. My USB flash drive was stolen just on the way, and there is a backup of my thesis in it." Mu Xiao, "What should I do, it was stolen."

Mu Xiao really fell for his tricks, put the bowl of soup on the table, then came over and hugged the "helpless" person, and kindly comforted him: "It's okay, it's almost as good as I have, but Mu Cheng Ming was recently taken back to Mu's house, so it's not easy to pass the news on to you."

"I lied to you. In fact, I have already given that one to Aunt Fang." Teng Jiangyan chuckled, and then asked worriedly: "Is Mu Chengming going to be okay?"

Mu Xiao was speechless at his sudden joke, he could only rub his hair helplessly, and said: "It's okay, it's not that there are grandparents over there, so how can he get involved. But...you Why do you care about him so much?"

The sourness in Mu Xiao's words made Teng Jiangyan lose his teeth. He calmly sat down on the stool and took a sip of Mu Xiao's stewed soup. Childish or not?"

"Not naive, Mu Chengming likes you, why can't I be on my guard." Mu Xiao sat next to Teng Jiangyan, put his hands on his face, and said solemnly: "You are still drinking my stewed soup, Don't think about him, do you hear me?"

"Yes yes yes." Teng Jiangyan ate there for a long time, glanced at the indifferent Mu Xiao, tilted his head and asked, "You don't want to eat?"

"I want to watch you eat." Mu Xiao stretched out his hand to scratch his nose, and sighed, "In a few days, I won't be able to come."

"Do you want me to elope with you? Just when you were swearing at the wedding, I will grab you and run away." Teng Jiangyan scooped up soup with a spoon and put it near Mu Xiao's mouth, motioning him to open his mouth.

After Mu Xiao drank it clean, he licked his lips with unsatisfied desire, and said shamelessly: "It's so delicious, it's simply the handicraft of heaven and man."

"Heaven and Man, is your wedding on June 6th?" Teng Jiangyan swallowed a piece of lotus root, and the salty and glutinous taste instantly occupied his entire mouth, making him pick up the bowl and take a sip again. Soup.

"No, it's on the 16th, and the 15th is the banquet. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Mu Xiao tapped the table with his fingers, and glanced away, like a heartless man who was caught and raped in bed.

Teng Jiangyan finished drinking the last bit of soup, rubbed her stomach comfortably a few times, looked at Mu Xiao and said with a smile: "Of course I'm going! But you can't go to the wedding, my ticket on the 16th, I don’t even bother to resign.”

"How...how are you going?" Mu Xiao glanced at Teng Jiangyan in disbelief, then frowned and said, "Did Mu Yueru send it to you?"

"No, I'll go as Mu Chengming's girlfriend." Teng Jiangyan hummed a ditty, walked up to Mu Xiao and gloated at him.

Mu Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Mu Chengming's girlfriend?"

Teng Jiangyan felt that Mu Xiao grabbed her waist, turned over again, and the whole person was put on Mu Xiao's shoulders.His stomach was overwhelmed by Mu Xiao, he struggled to hit Mu Xiao's back, and said intermittently: "You...you let me down, I'm going to be vomited by you."

"I think you are a little confused about the situation now. I have to let you know who your boyfriend is." Mu Xiao ignored Teng Jiangyan's protest and directly carried him into the room.
