Excessive

That night, after taking a shower, Lu Zhenqing realized that the clothes he brought were too thin, and he couldn't always wear Shuyao. He rushed to wear it?

So Lu Zhenqing decided to go to the mall to buy some.

But he was not familiar with the place, so he asked Du Shuyao for help in desperation.

Originally, he thought that Shuyao would not agree, but he did not expect that after thinking about it, he agreed.

Lu Zhenqing was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that he was finally one step closer to success.

But in fact, Du Shuyao didn't think so, he agreed because of Mu Mu.Now the little guy is growing up, she was only so little last winter, and she can't wear clothes for a long time.Because Du Shuyao was busy with work, he had no time to take her shopping. Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, taking advantage of the nice weather today, it would be good to take her to buy two winter clothes.

As for Lu Zhenqing, by the way, do him a favor.

And Mu Mu only knew that Shuyao was going to take her out, so she was very excited.

In this way, the three of them came to the largest shopping mall in the area with different thoughts.

Although it is the largest shopping mall in the area, it only has two floors, and the underground supermarket is only three floors.

The men's clothing is on the second floor, and the children's clothing is on the first floor. When they arrived at the shopping mall, the three separated. Du Shuyao and Mu Mu stayed on the first floor, while Lu Zhenqing leisurely went to the second floor to turn around.

Lu Zhenqing maintained his figure very well, he was like a walking clothes hanger, after trying on several clothes, they all fit well, even the salesperson couldn't turn his eyes away when he saw him trying on clothes.

He picked out a few at random, saw one suitable for Shuyao, and bought one for him, and when he finished paying and was about to go down with his bag, he saw Du Shuyao running up in a hurry, Beads of sweat dripped down his hair in such a cold weather.

"What's wrong?" Lu Zhenqing had a bad feeling.

Du Shuyao was out of breath, and he tried to calm himself down, "...Mumu...is it with you..."

"No." Lu Zhenqing hadn't reacted yet.

"...she's gone..."

Du Shuyao looked anxious and seemed to be trembling all over. He just paid a short time ago, but when he turned his head, he disappeared. He searched the whole floor. He thought it was Lu Zhenqing who took her away.

But now, even Lu Zhenqing didn't see it.

"Don't worry, let's look for it later."

Du Shuyao knew that the more he couldn't calm down, the more he couldn't find it, but how could he not be in a hurry, where could a two-year-old girl run by herself, she must be taken away by others...

Thinking of this, he couldn't calm down any more.

"Shuyao, calm down!" Seeing his panic, Lu Zhenqing patted his shoulders with both hands, trying to comfort him.

The clerk sensed something was wrong and came over to ask what was wrong. Lu Zhenqing briefly explained the matter to her, and the clerk enthusiastically went to play the radio for them.

"Let's go down and find..."

Du Shuyao nodded, that's the only way to go now.

The two searched the first floor again. There were clerks on the stairs on each floor. Du Shuyao asked and took out Mu Mu's photo, but they all said they didn't see it.

At this time, the radio in the shopping mall rang, looking for a two-year-old Chinese girl wearing a red coat.Everyone seems to have consciously joined in the search, but almost half an hour has passed, and there is still no news from Mu Mu.

"What should I do..." Du Shuyao squatted helplessly on the ground.

Lu Zhenqing felt distressed when he saw it, and he couldn't say any more comforting words. Lu Zhenqing knew how important Mu Mu was to him.

"I'll go out and look for it, you stay here and wait for me." The only possibility now is that Mu Mu is no longer here.

"I'm with you." Du Shuyao grabbed his sleeve for the first time.

Lu Zhenqing was stunned for a moment, but he didn't want to find Mumu and Shuyao again, and seeing that his mood was unstable, he said, "Go to the clerk to turn off the surveillance."

Du Shuyao nodded, this is the fastest way, why didn't he think of it.

Lu Zhenqing left the shopping mall. There was a big park in front of the shopping mall. It was the time for leisure and entertainment at night, so there were many people here.

He held Du Shuyao's cell phone, with Mu Mu's photo on the desktop, and asked a few people who seemed to have been sitting here for a long time, but the results were not satisfactory.

It was already dark, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty.

Lu Zhenqing walked a few more steps, and at the corner, he saw a circle of people not far away, and they were all adults and children, so he walked over by instinct.

Sure enough, when they walked in, Mu Mu, who was wearing a little red padded jacket, was among them.

When she saw Lu Zhenqing, she waved at him happily, as if nothing had happened, she didn't know how many people she worried about.

"Uncle Lu, hug me."

The little guy ran towards him with open arms, and Lu Zhenqing hugged her helplessly.

"Hey, where's Shuyao~" Fortunately, she still knew how to ask.

Afraid that Shuyao was worried, Lu Zhenqing quickly carried her back. It turned out that the little guy saw a kid holding a balloon in his hand just now, and she wanted it too, so he ran out with him. When he came here, he was attracted by the magic clown Stop, that's why such a thing happened.

I happened to bump into Shuyao at the entrance of the shopping mall. He was running out in a hurry, and when he saw Lu Zhenqing holding Mu Mu in his arms, his hanging heart finally let go.

"Shuyao!" Mu Mu couldn't wait to show him the toy he got from brother clown just now, not knowing how much Du Shuyao was worried about him.

Du Shuyao didn't hug her, Mu Mu let go of her hand in disappointment, is Shuyao angry?He looks terrible now.

Lu Zhenqing put Mu Mu down, went back to the mall to get something, and thanked the clerk by the way, and the atmosphere between the two of them eased up when they came out again.

"Shuyao is not angry, Mu Mu was wrong..." The little guy curled his lips, making it hard not to forgive her.

"This will not be allowed in the future, you know?" Du Shuyao was really scared to death just now, if Lu Zhenqing didn't come back with Mu Mu in his arms, he would call the police next.

This time Mu Mu nodded sensiblely.

It was windy outside and it was getting colder. Lu Zhenqing saw that Du Shuyao was sweating profusely, and was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he said, "Go home first."

Another two days passed, and Ethan found a job as an intern assistant for a local newspaper, but the company was far away, so he was moving out of the company's apartment, and he had been packing things for the past two days.

Lu Zhenqing took this opportunity to ask Du Shuyao to let him return to China again, but was still rejected.Although he knows that Du Shuyao's life is better here, it's not a problem if it goes on like this for a long time. He has no relatives here, and he has a child with him. He used to have roommates to take care of each other. Now even Ethan has moved. How can I bear it when I am gone, alone.

And it's impossible for Lu Zhenqing to stay here forever, although he really wants to.Hearing from Bao Jun that her mother went to the company today, it seems that Lu's mother already knows about her coming to find Shuyao, and she probably will call tomorrow.

"Uncle Lu, eat candy." When he was thinking about what to do about this matter, the little guy ran over and handed the candy to himself reluctantly.

Lu Zhenqing seldom eats sweets, especially at night, but in order not to make the little guy sad, Lu Zhenqing still took it.

At that moment, he suddenly thought of a breakthrough.

"Mumu, do you want to go back to China?"

"What is going back to China?" Xiao Mumu blinked and asked.

Lu Zhenqing didn't know how to explain it. It was difficult for her to understand this matter at her current age, not to mention that when Du Shuyao took her away, she was only a few months old, and she couldn't remember anything at all, and she didn't have any feelings for the motherland. .

"Just to go to another place." Lu Zhenqing could only explain to her in this easy-to-understand way. "It's beautiful and fun there."

When Xiao Mumu heard this, she nodded heavily. After staying here for a long time, even a child like her feels bored. Shuyao has to go to work every day, so she has no time to take her out. Every time, she is thrown downstairs nursery.

"But now Shuyao doesn't seem to want to go..." Lu Zhenqing pretended to be embarrassed.

As soon as the little guy listened to the book and couldn't go away, the joy just now disappeared.

"Why..." She stared at Lu Zhenqing pitifully with big watery eyes, which made his heart melt.

"Because there was someone there who did something that made Shuyao angry..." At this point, Lu Zhenqing fell into deep thought again.

"Is he a bad guy?" Xiao Mumu continued to ask.

"It's me, I did something that made Shuyao sad, and he won't forgive..." Lu Zhenqing's voice was very low, and it was unclear whether he was talking to Mu Mu or talking to himself.

The little guy also imitated Lu Zhenqing's way of thinking, but she was thinking about different problems, what is forgiveness?The adult world seems to be very complicated.

At night, when Mu Mu went to bed, Lu Zhenqing had a chance to talk to Du Shuyao.Although the little guy is cute, once he is with Shuyao, he has nothing to say anymore.

When Du Shuyao came out of the shower, he really couldn't stand the stares staring at him. Even though he didn't have eyes behind him, he could still feel Lu Zhenqing's gaze, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"You don't sleep?" It was rare that Du Shuyao took the initiative to talk to Lu Zhenqing.

Lu Zhenqing shook his head thoughtfully.

Du Shuyao looked at him and said, "Then I'm going to sleep."

"Shuyao, you..." Lu Zhenqing finally didn't finish what he wanted to say.

"What's wrong?" Du Shuyao turned around and looked at him curiously.

"Blow dry your hair before going to bed." He found a random reason, which made Du Shuyao baffled.

The child's biological clock was very accurate, and Mu Mu woke up the next morning before the two adults woke up, so Du Shuyao couldn't fall asleep even after crying and making trouble.

The little guy seemed to be having a nightmare, sobbing non-stop, and he was still saying something silently. Du Shuyao didn't listen carefully, and it took a while to realize that she was calling her mother.

This was a child's subconscious reaction, but it made Du Shuyao feel distressed.For more than a year, I have been taking Mumu by myself. Although I have shown her pictures of Ni Ni, the pictures are not the same as the real person after all.Fortunately, Mu Mu was sensible, so she stopped asking after asking a few times. This time, she subconsciously looked for her mother after having a nightmare.

Du Shuyao comforted her, and it took a while for the little guy's emotions to stabilize.At this time, Lu Zhenqing couldn't fall asleep either, so he got up and took Xiao Mumu from his hand.The child's mood changed quite quickly, and he started giggling as soon as he was teased by Lu Zhenqing. Seeing this scene, Du Shuyao felt relieved to pack up and get ready to go to work.

"Let's go after breakfast."

It turned out that Lu Zhenqing had already prepared breakfast while Du Shuyao was washing up.

He looked at his watch, and it was indeed still early, so he sat down.

Ever since he knew that he didn't drink pure milk, Lu Zhenqing carefully replaced the milk with other hot drinks. He even asked Mu Mu Du Shuyao about his other preferences in private, but the little guy hesitated and couldn't tell.

"I want to too~" Xiao Mumu finished drinking the milk in her cup, pointed to Lu Zhenqing's coffee and said, really wanting to taste what that dark thing tastes like.

"Children can't drink this." Lu Zhenqing reprimanded him, saying that □□ has a great influence on children.

"Hmph!" Seeing that he disagreed, Xiao Mumu shifted her target and cast her eyes on Du Shuyao, "Shuyao~"

This time Du Shuyao also shook his head.

The little guy pursed his lips aggrievedly, as if he was going to cry or not. She didn't say Du Shuyao was bad, but said to Lu Zhenqing, "Bad uncle!"

Lu Zhenqing smiled helplessly. He didn't want to care about the child. He wanted to look at Xiao Mumu, but the moment he raised his head, he met Du Shuyao's gaze. The other party was also smiling helplessly, meeting his gaze At that moment, he quickly lowered his head and stuffed the remaining piece of bread into his mouth in a panic.

"I'm leaving first..." Then he fled in despair.

This time Lu Zhenqing really smiled, he couldn't hide the happiness all over his face, the scene just now was so warm, it took him a long time to think about it, the way Shuyao put down his guard and laughed in front of him was really charming.

Xiao Mumu, who didn't know the truth at first, didn't understand even more. She said he was bad, so why was he still smiling so happily?

After Du Shuyao left, Lu Zhenqing picked up Mu Mu and began to do ideological work. Judging from the current situation, she was the only breakthrough.

It has to be said that hard work pays off, and Lu Zhenqing's combination of hard and soft tactics still has some effect.

In the evening, as soon as Du Shuyao came back, Mu Mu ran to him kindly and kissed him on the cheek.

Lu Zhenqing sat on the sofa and pretended to play with his mobile phone, but his mind was not on it at all.This brat, let her grind Shuyao, but didn't let her kiss him!

Du Shuyao, who didn't know the truth, thought that Mu Mu was expressing his kindness.

"Shuyao, go home."

Du Shuyao's hand wiping her saliva with a tissue stopped, how could Mu Mu know what it was to return to China at such a young age.He glared at the "instigator" on the sofa, who sat there innocently and continued to play with his mobile phone.

"Why does Mu Mu want to go back to China?" Du Shuyao asked her calmly.

"It's fun." The little guy didn't hide his heart at all.

"Is it not good here?" Du Shuyao continued to ask, he had a headache when he ran into this problem again after a day of work.

Mu Mu thought about it, and it seemed that this place was not bad, so she nodded again.

"Mu Mu, good boy, we'll go back when you get older."

The little guy looked at him ignorantly and didn't speak, but Shuyao can do whatever he wants.

"Okay, Mumu, can I watch some cartoons?"

"Okay~" Hearing that there are cartoons to watch, the little guy immediately forgot the topic just now, and excitedly waited for Du Shuyao to find her for her.

Du Shuyao turned on the phone and searched for the animation she often watched, carried her into the bedroom, put her on the bed, and blocked her with a pillow, fearing that she would fall.

Taking advantage of the little guy's fascination, Du Shuyao gently closed the door.

At this time, Lu Zhenqing had already put down his phone.

"You taught her?" Du Shuyao knew without asking.

"Her mother is in China, you should let her go back."

In fact, what Lu Zhenqing said was not unreasonable. This Du Shuyao was very clear in his heart, and he himself had been struggling with this issue.

"Then let her go back with you."

"Shuyao, that's not what I meant..." Du Shuyao knew his intentions clearly, but he pretended not to know. It was obvious that he was evading.

Du Shuyao was silent, he was just talking just now, how could he be willing to let Lu Zhenqing take Mu Mu away?

"Shuyao, what are you thinking about? I know I'm wrong, I really know I'm wrong, how on earth are you willing to believe..." Lu Zhenqing was almost incoherent, he really didn't know what method he should use to convince Shuyao, this paragraph Time is soft and hard, and the stalker has said everything that should be said, but it is still useless.

Du Shuyao also wanted to ask himself, what exactly is he caring about?Can he still trust this man?Will he still find his place in that city?

Seeing him frowning, Lu Zhenqing knew that he was not feeling well either. He could clearly see that Du Shuyao still had feelings for him these days, otherwise he wouldn't have kept the clothes he gave him in the closet forever. this morning...

Lu Zhenqing sighed, "I'm leaving tomorrow, something happened to the company."

In the past few days, some competitor heard the news that Lu Zhenqing was not in the company, and deliberately caused trouble. The Lu Corporation is now in a mess, and there are a lot of things waiting for him to go back and deal with.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Du Shuyao's eyes, and he quickly turned calm. After a long time, his voice sounded in the room, "Okay."

As expected, he was just acting on occasion. Du Shuyao had heard too many excuses like this, and he was right, it was because he was too easy to get into the drama.But since he had to leave sooner or later, why did he show up in the first place?

As if seeing through what he was thinking, and wanting to give him a reassurance, Lu Zhenqing said, "I'll be back when I'm done with the matter."

He wanted to take Du Shuyao back this time, but he didn't expect the incident to happen suddenly. He thought he could wait for two days, but today his assistant called and urged him again and again. Lu's shares were already on a downward trend. If you don't go back, the entire company's jobs will be lost.

Lu Zhenqing saw that he was standing where he was, still holding the tissue in his hand that he had just wiped Mu Mu's mouth.

He walked over to give him a hug, but Du Shuyao avoided him.

Obviously, Lu Zhenqing felt a little helpless, "Just a moment."

He stretched out his hand and looked at Du Shuyao expectantly, hoping that he could give him some response, but unfortunately, he was disappointed.

Du Shuyao still refused, he was always resistant to physical contact.

Lu Zhenqing smiled wryly, seemingly indifferently, he will leave tomorrow, isn't this a little bit of a request?

"I'll cook." Du Shuyao threw the ball of paper in his hand into the trash can, turned around and walked towards the kitchen. It doesn't matter if he escapes, let him escape once.

Lu Zhenqing stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, and said cautiously, "Shuyao, I want to ask you one last question."

"Did you ever like me?"

He knew the answer, and it was because of this answer that he fell in love with Du Shuyao hopelessly. If it wasn't for Du Shuyao's love, maybe they would have already broken up like those people before.

But as long as he has his feelings, Lu Zhenqing can't turn around and leave.

But whether he likes it or not, he just wants to hear Du Shuyao say it himself.

Just like the old-fashioned plots in the movies, maybe Du Shuyao is a little more free and easy, he can answer two words without hesitation, love.

But he was never that kind of person.

He opened his mouth and heard himself say.

"That was a long time ago."
