hope and gift

Mu Xiao did receive a video at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, and it didn't end until nearly five o'clock.Teng Jiangyan listened to the indistinct sound of the partition wall coming from his ears. Although he was sleepy, he couldn't fall asleep. His thoughts began to be confused from time to time. Finally, his eyelids were clenched and he fell asleep without even taking off his socks.

Where did Mu Xiao get such a good spirit?Teng Jiangyan thought for a while in a daze, and finally closed his eyes in a daze, and went to fight with Duke Zhou.

When he woke up again, he opened the curtain and took a look outside, guessing that it was already noon.But he has nothing to do today, and sleeping until noon is a rare catch-up sleep, anyway, he can only continue to stay here.When he opened the door and walked out, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the note Mu Xiao left for him on the door.

"Breakfast is in the refrigerator, and you can eat it hot in the microwave."

The words on the blue note are correct and neat, compared with the previous ones, it is easy to see that Mu Xiao has indeed practiced it on purpose.Teng Jiangyan clutched the note into his palm casually, and felt a bit of sour warmth in his heart, like a small flame burning his heart, which made him feel stinging within a moment.He slapped himself on the head violently, and after reminding himself to be more awake, he finally crumpled up the note and threw it away. As for the refrigerator, he would not look at it either.

In the afternoon, Teng Jiangyan, who was bored, went to school alone to deal with matters related to the start of school.The school is very close to the apartment, and the bus is only three stops away. You can walk there when you are not in a hurry.However, Teng Jiangyan has been a little lazy recently. She really didn't want to walk, so she just stood lazily at the bus stop and waited for the bus.

"What a coincidence, where are you going?"

Teng Jiangyan was waiting for the car, and yawned again because of sleepiness, but when he heard Mu Xiao's voice suddenly coming from behind, he was so frightened that his back broke out in cold sweat, as if he was facing a formidable enemy in an instant.He turned around awkwardly, pretending to be calm, and said casually, "Coincidentally, I'm planning to go to school to do something."

"It just so happens that I'm going too." Mu Xiao was carrying a laptop bag in his hand, and a blue folder in his hand, and a small box in his other hand, which looked like a pastry.He turned his head and stared at Teng Jiangyan for a while, then withdrew his gaze and glanced at the stop sign, and asked, "Do you mind if I go on the same road with you? I don't know these words, and I don't understand them. Know where to get off."

Teng Jiangyan felt a bit of blame in his heart, thinking about what Mu Xiao would do if he didn't meet him today, but he still nodded and agreed with hesitation.He saw that it was too difficult for Mu Xiao to take so many things, so he stretched out a hand in front of him and said, "I can help you get some."

After saying this, Teng Jiangyan shifted Mu Xiao's eyes with guilt, and only put his hands in front of him, making an appearance that he was "just enthusiastic and has nothing else to think about".

Mu Xiao was stunned for a second, then smiled knowingly, and put the small box in Teng Jiangyan's palm lightly and steadily: "You can just take this, I bought it for you, and I don't know if you like it or not when I bought it. like."

"Bought it for me?" Teng Jiangyan lowered his head and looked at the small box. Through the gaps in the box, he could see the colorful colors inside. If nothing else, it should be a few macarons.

In fact, he likes to eat sweets quite a bit, but he is still a bit skeptical about Mu Xiao's gift with unknown intentions, and he is not particularly daring to accept it.He still hasn't figured out what Mu Xiao means to him. Mu Xiao is supposed to be married, so he came here on purpose, is it for himself or for work?Let's say it's for work, so is this intentional or unintentional show of favor hinting at something to him?

However, Teng Jiangyan felt that this kind of ambiguity could be justified in the past as a way of consoling himself. After all, Mu Xiao was not married at that time, but now he will be on his back if there is even the slightest distance between him and Mu Xiao.He couldn't guess what Mu Xiao was thinking, and he didn't want to embarrass him, so he still took the box: "I'll help you, but I can't eat sweets because of dental problems recently, it's really a waste."

I don't know how much Mu Xiao understood the meaning of Teng Jiangyan's words, he just frowned worriedly and asked: "It's not serious, right? It's my fault that I bought it without asking."

Teng Jiangyan was fascinated by his condescending and soft tone for a while, her heart ached as if being pinched by an invisible hand, and she almost blurted out the sentence "You are right", but was caught The bus stopped in front of them with the sound of brakes, interrupted.

The two people got into the car relatively silently with the crowd, but found that there were so many people in the car that they couldn't move their feet, so they could only stand by the door.Mu Xiao held too many things in his hands, it was really inconvenient to stand, so he had to rely on his self-balance to stabilize himself.

Teng Jiangyan couldn't see it, but obviously there were many solutions, but somehow he reached out and wrapped his arms around Mu Xiao's waist, and pulled him into his arms. Not surprisingly, he felt that Mu Xiao's whole body froze. .So Teng Jiangyan immediately withdrew his hand embarrassingly, trying to pretend that nothing happened.

But he never expected that Mu Xiao actually stood closer to him, and said with a half-smile: "I still can't stand, I have to support you."

Before Teng Jiangyan had time to react, Mu Xiao came over and grabbed the corner of his clothes.Teng Jiangyan smelled the comforting cologne and slightly drunk wine, accompanied by the ear-piercing friction of the clothes and the sound of his own heart beating faster. On this crowded bus, he elicited the dream that he had imagined countless times. future.

But the more he thought about it, the deeper his heart sank.

After getting off the bus, Teng Jiangyan was a little flustered, but stood upright pretending to be serious: "The school is not far from here, so I'll take a step first."

Mu Xiao didn't answer his words immediately, but looked at Teng Jiang with a smile on his face, his eyes were as gentle as a pool of spring water.Teng Jiangyan felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, so she turned around and planned to leave, but she heard Mu Xiao remind him in a moderate voice: "The tips of the ears are so red that they are the same color as your clothes, let's rub them together. ,I go first."

When Teng Jiangyan heard this, he felt as embarrassed as if he had been stripped naked on the street. He didn't even have the intention of turning back, and walked away as if he had oiled the soles of his feet.In a panic, he also forgot to return the small box that Mu Xiao gave him, and he didn't realize the problem until he walked a long way.He was ashamed and annoyed at the moment, he just felt that he was being teased by Mu Xiao like a clown, but after thinking about it, he had to return this thing to Mu Xiao, so he couldn't let it go, he really didn't feel comfortable anywhere. place.

Even if Mu Xiao really has feelings for him, why should he tease him again and again when he is married, so as to get the reputation of being married and cheating?My self-control is really not that good.

Teng Jiangyan sighed bitterly.

After dealing with school matters, Teng Jiangyan was afraid of meeting Mu Xiao again, so he simply walked back.I have to say that the streets in foreign countries are not too different from those I have walked before. Only the humid and cold climate can make him distinguish the two.He didn't make many friends here, because of language reasons, and also because he didn't want to make friends.

Elen also worried about this matter for a long time before. When Teng Jiangyan first came to Oslo, she was like a flower who had disappeared, unable to raise the slightest energy, and was unwilling to communicate too much with the outside world. Elen simply thought that he was under psychological shadow because of what happened at home, so he made an appointment with a doctor, but after several conversations, the doctor was also at a loss for Teng Jiangyan's refusal to cooperate, and simply gave up.

After Teng Jiangyan left Mu Xiao for a while, he really couldn't calm down. He was in a daze, but he also had strong self-recovery ability. This kind of negativity lasted for half a month, but because of this half month, He missed almost all the opportunities to make friends. Everyone in the class thought he was too indifferent to be contacted and kept away from him. He simply made a mistake.

Thinking wildly all the way, it was already night when Teng Jiangyan walked back to the house. He was in a really bad mood now, but as soon as he lifted the doorknob, he found that the door was ajar, and there were noisy voices inside.He opened the door and saw that a group of people were having fun in the living room. Although there were two do-not-enter signs with strange characters on his room and Mu Xiao's room, he still felt uncomfortable .

"Why don't you go in?" Mu Xiao's tired voice came from behind Teng Jiangyan.

Teng Jiangyan turned to look at him. For some reason, he was angry and uncomfortable. He suddenly calmed down as if he had been fed his favorite food, and there were different irons all over his body one after another.Unavoidably, there was a bit of grievance in his tone that he hadn't noticed, and he whispered: "It's nothing."

Mu Xiao tiptoed over Teng Jiangyan to glance at the room, and shook his head helplessly: "How long do they usually play?"

"Let's stay up all night, maybe it's because school is about to start, and I'm here to play with my old friends." Teng Jiangyan said here, remembering that Mu Xiao came here to share the rent by himself, he couldn't help feeling a little more guilty.

"I can't stand the noise, so I'll go to a hotel outside and stay overnight." The folder in Mu Xiao's hand is gone, presumably the business has been dealt with.He reached out to Teng Jiangyan, and tilted his head playfully: "Give me something, you can't eat even if you have a toothache."

Hearing this, Teng Jiangyan felt a little unwilling to give it away. He glanced at Mu Xiao, then at the group of people behind the door who were chatting and laughing happily and didn't notice what happened here, and then said: "I also Go and spend the night outside."

Mu Xiao laughed when he heard this, took a step closer to Teng Jiangyan's ear, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Are you implying something to me?"

Teng Jiangyan's anger, which had been subdued, was aroused again. He took a step back and pushed Mu Xiao away, and said in a word: "Mu Xiao, you respect yourself. Since you are a family member, don't be afraid of it. And tease me again and again, okay?"

Mu Xiao paused when he heard this, and a completely opposite expression appeared on Teng Jiangyan's seriousness.It seemed that after calming down for a long time, he finally asked with a suppressed smile, "Who told you that I have a family?"

"Aren't you divorced with Sun Yunyun?" Teng Jiangyan frowned, as if dissatisfied with Mu Xiao's behavior.

Mu Xiao finally couldn't hold back a chuckle, he stretched out his hand and pinched Teng Jiangyan's face: "Did you stay in that valley with no signal for a year? I'm not married at all. Didn't go."

Teng Jiangyan looked up at him in confusion when he heard this, but he really didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

"My parents were divorced, and they were at my wedding. How should I put it, I always felt that this marriage was a commercial drama, and it is understandable that it has reached this point. The main reason is that Mu Yueru has done too many wrong things. I can’t turn back. He wanted to pull me into the water, but my mother wanted to pull me out and let me be a normal person.” When Mu Xiao said this, he put his hands in his trouser pockets, revealing that he hadn’t separated a few years ago. The appearance is a little naive, and a bit ruffian.

"Mu Yueru, he had already figured it out. When I bowed my head to him and surrendered to him, let me continue his career. After all... I am his only son."

"You..." Teng Jiangyan looked at Mu Xiao, with a pent-up breath in his heart, he couldn't swallow it no matter what, there was resentment and hope, but all of them made him feel like a stick in his throat, and he hesitated to speak.

"I went to the airport that day and waited for you there all day, but I didn't wait for you from morning till night."

When Mu Xiao said it, his tone was a little light, but when Teng Jiangyan heard this, he could imagine the scenes of him going from expectation to despair at the airport that day. When he thought of it, he felt like he was stabbed Split the general pain.

After a while, Teng Jiangyan regained her soul, and said with a sour voice: "I booked earlier, I probably just missed it."

"Don't stand here and talk, it's late at night, you haven't eaten yet?" Mu Xiao turned around and rubbed his shoulders, "I'm exhausted today, but it's also rewarding. I'm relieved a lot. Tomorrow Go again, and you should be able to win it."

"By the way, the new company...is the one opened by Aunt Fang herself?" Teng Jiangyan walked with Mu Xiao, carefully asking.

"Well, it's running pretty well now, and besides my mother, I'm the main person in charge." Mu Xiao couldn't help but sigh when he said this, "Gu Nian also helped a lot, but it's mainly for the things in my mother's hands. , Actually, I don't understand what Gu Nian means, maybe he wants to clean up the relationship between my family and Mu Yueru."

"What do you mean by that?" Teng Jiangyan became more and more confused the more he listened. After Mu Xiao finished speaking, although he was embarrassed, he still asked.

Mu Xiao sighed, shook his head and said: "How long has it been since you paid attention to domestic affairs? This is still a news headline. Just a few days before I came, a case was filed for what Mu Yueru did, and the police are interrogating the relevant details. Although For the time being, there is no substantive evidence, and unilateral suspects are not enough to convict, but he really dare not make trouble recently."

"I really don't pay attention to domestic news." Teng Jiangyan felt a little embarrassed, and suddenly remembered something serious in the middle of the sentence, and said seriously: "Gu Nian gave me a USB flash drive, and I can't decipher the files in it. But since he let me take it away, there must be something important that he doesn't want to be discovered. You... Did he participate in the project you came here to discuss this time?"

"Well, it's a project he cooperated with us, and I don't understand why he came to Oslo. To be honest, Northern Europe is too far away from us, and it's not worthwhile to invest in cooperation." Mu Xiao frowned and thought for a while, "But Northern Europe Many industries are lacking, and it is a good way out to open up a new road here, but it is a bit difficult to start, and my mother agreed at that time."

"Then I think he must have asked you to bring this back to him. Gu Nian must have deliberately arranged for the two of us to meet. I won't go to the hotel. I'll go back and get you a USB flash drive. You can bring it back to Gu Nian... No Just hand it over to the police." Teng Jiangyan pulled Mu Xiao back after speaking, with a look of anxiety on his face.

The two walked back while chattering, Mu Xiao looked at Teng Jiangyan's side face and the hands they held in panic, lowered his head and secretly smiled for a while.Teng Jiangyan didn't realize it, but only thought that the matter could end soon, so that he could know who the culprit was, and started his life again with peace of mind.When he left, he glanced at Mu Xiao who was giggling beside him, only to realize that he had subconsciously held Mu Xiao's hand, he couldn't help feeling ashamed and annoyed, but he didn't want to let go when he reached the gate.
