When you wake up, the object becomes an old aunt

In fact, the picture is not very astringent, but the meaning expressed is very obvious. Lin Mu fell in love relatively early, and he is no longer a person who knows nothing.

Ruan Qiuchi lived so many years longer than her, so he must be able to see the key at a glance.

Lin Mu quickly explained: "I sent the wrong message."

Ruan Qiuchi: "Well, go to bed early."

It was just five words that were very calm and indifferent. The picture didn't seem to stir up any splashes in her mind. Lin Mu's heart, which was still hot just now, was suddenly extinguished by a basin of cold water.

Lin Mu replied: "Okay."

Lin Mu couldn't sleep in bed, and suddenly remembered that Ruan Qiuchi admitted that he regarded her as a child.

She felt uncomfortable when she thought that Ruan Qiuchi treated her like a child. Could it be that he also treated her as a child now?

Although there is indeed an insurmountable age gap between them now, they used to be lovers.

Lin Mu shook her head vigorously, reminding herself not to think about it anymore. It has happened, but she has been unable to accept it. In the past, she took the initiative, but now it’s the other way around, and she can’t do anything.

Lin Mu grumbled lightly.

In the master bedroom separated by a wall, a dim light was on beside the bed. Ruan Qiuchi held his mobile phone, looked at the news from Lin Mu, and checked the comments on Weibo.

In the end, all the text in the chat dialog box with Lin Mu was deleted, and not a single word was sent.

In the morning, the publishing house found out about Ruan Qiuchi's "Light" episode last night, and Yang Qing called early in the morning to inquire about the situation.

Yang Qing: "Teacher Ruan, I heard that you updated the episode of "Light" on Weibo last night?"

Ruan Qiuchi: "That's what happened."

"I just went to see it, and your readers are very happy. In fact, you can contact the publishing house. We will attach extra episodes to the back of the physical book to increase readers' motivation to buy books."

Yangqing is telling the truth, "Light" is a very old book, the content is also very ordinary, there is no excitement, no imagination, no reversal, the only outstanding thing is her author, who is a popular author nowadays .

When Ruan Qiuchi signed the publishing contract, it did not include extra episodes. She said: "Suddenly I got inspiration."

Yang Qing asked: "Are you interested in writing another copy?"

Ruan Qiuchi: "Sorry, I have no inspiration."

Yang Qing was just talking about it. The first print of "Light" has already been printed. If you want to add extra, you need to sign a new contract, but you can try again.

"By the way, I always thought that the kid in your house looked familiar. Today, I suddenly remembered that she looks a bit like your girlfriend."

Yangqing and Ruan Qiuchi have a good relationship, and she has always been in touch with Ruan Qiuchi in terms of publishing, and now she wants to gossip for no reason.

Their publishing house used to run newspapers. Later, the paper media declined and transformed. At that time, Ruan Qiuchi would publish missing person notices every year.

Ruan Qiuchi lowered his eyes: "Yes."

Yang Qing didn't know what the "um" meant, did he admit that the child looked like her girlfriend?But she had already heard that Ruan Qiuchi didn't want to continue talking.

She said: "Teacher Ruan, really don't you want to write another extra? I can apply with the editor-in-chief to attach it in other texts."

"I'm sorry, I really have no inspiration." Ruan Qiuchi refused, because the original intention of writing this episode was just to show Lin Mu.

Yang Qing said, "It's a pity."

When Lin Mu woke up in the morning, she was ashamed to see Ruan Qiuchi. In order to take the initiative, she got up very early. Unexpectedly, Ruan Qiuchi woke up earlier and seemed to be on the phone with others, so she tried to reduce her sense of presence.

After Ruan Qiuchi finished the call, to avoid leaving a bad impression in her eyes, Lin Mu acted first and said, "I made a mistake last night."

But it still can't change the fact that she looks at the pictures randomly.

Ruan Qiuchi didn't pay much attention, and asked casually, "What do you think?"

Lin Mu said: "I think the painting is very good."

Ruan Qiuchi: "I mean the episode."

Lin Mu really wanted to boast about it. In fact, she had already praised it under that Weibo post, but when she faced Ruan Qiuchi, she found that she was at a loss for words. She said, "It's very beautiful, and I feel complete."

"That's good." Ruan Qiuchi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, never been so nervous.

Because her previous writing was just to please herself, to inject her extra emotions into the story, but now her words are used to please Lin Mu.

at breakfast.

"I've made up my mind and I want to try drawing." When Lin Mu saw those pictures last night, he really wanted to help Ruan Qiuchi draw the characters in the book.

Ruan Qiuchi agreed: "Painting is very good."

"Don't you object to me?" Ruan Qiuchi is almost obedient to her, Lin Mu is sometimes flustered, if she is a bear child, then Ruan Qiuchi is a bear parent who dotes on the child.

It wasn't like this when they quarreled before. At that time, her parents forced her to go abroad. She didn't want to go abroad, she didn't want to have a relationship with a foreign country, and she didn't want to be threatened by her parents again.

But Ah Ruan uncharacteristically felt that the Internet in foreign countries is more developed, and she will have a better future if she goes abroad for further study.

They each insisted on their own point of view, the two of them quarreled like this, thinking about it now, I still find it a bit ridiculous.

But because of this little quarrel, she suddenly came to today, 18 years later.

Lin Mu was in a bad mood all of a sudden. If she had another chance, she must have a peaceful talk with Ruan Qiuchi.

Ruan Qiuchi said: "Now painting has a mature business model. Whether it is a pure hobby or a career, as long as you learn well, you can support yourself. I have a friend who studies illustration."

Lin Mu was curious: "Which friend?"

Ruan Qiuchi said, "You don't know him."

Lin Mu bowed his head and said in a low voice, it was Ah Ruan's own friend, not their mutual friend.

The reality is always reminding her that she has come to the world 18 years later.

"Have you considered it?" Ruan Qiuchi asked again. Lin Mu's character was decisive on the surface, but in fact he liked to tangle with some small details.

Lin Mu said firmly: "I've made up my mind, and I decided to find online courses to follow."

Ruan Qiuchi said: "It is better to study systematically and avoid detours, but drawing is a very long process, and you need patience."

Lin Mu nodded: "Yeah."

Now she feels that as long as she has something to do, she is eager to prove her strength.

Ruan Qiuchi encouraged: "Then let's do it."

So it was decided.

Lin Mu felt that the boulder hanging in her heart had finally landed, and she would definitely study hard.

Thinking that Ruan Qiuchi was always obedient to her demands, she suddenly asked: "Ah Ruan, will you agree to me unconditionally no matter what I choose?"

Ruan Qiuchi was startled, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Lin Mu asked: "What if it was a wrong decision?"

Ruan Qiuchi shook his head: "There is no wrong decision."

There will only be decisions that people regret.

Lin Mu stopped talking.

Ruan Qiuchi stood up: "I'll go back to my room first."

Lin Mu slapped herself in the heart, regretting asking this question, she continued to search for knowledge related to painting, fortunately, when Ruan Qiuchi came out at noon, nothing happened on her face.

"I discussed it with my friend. You can go to her studio to learn, learn from the most basic, lay a solid foundation first, and take your time."

Lin Mu said, "Yes."

After having lunch with Ruan Qiuchi, Lin Muxian continued to check the information. At about four o'clock, she hesitated and said, "I want to go out for a while."

Ruan Qiuchi closed the computer, did not ask her what she was going out for, and said, "Wait for me to change first, and I will go with you."

Lin Mu bit her lip: "I...I want to go by myself."

Ruan Qiuchi paused, as if she didn't expect that she would go out alone. She looked at Lin Mu and said nothing in the end.

"Then pay attention to safety on the road. If there is a road you don't know, use the navigation. If you have anything, you can call me."

She began to babble.

"Check to see if the phone has enough power, and take my bag with me in a while. There is a power bank inside. It's a bit cold outside, so wear thicker clothes."

Lin Mu responded one by one: "Yes."

Seeing that Ruan Qiuchi wanted to continue talking, Lin Mu stopped her and said, "Ah Ruan, is there anything you want to buy? I'm just going to the supermarket."

The supermarket is only 1 km away from here.

Ruan Qiuchi looked a little uncomfortable: "The toilet paper at home is almost gone, but you can't get that much at a time, I can just buy it online later."

Lin Mu continued to ask: "Then what else?"

Seeing that she seemed to insist on saying something by herself, Ruan Qiuchi could only say: "I want to eat Chen Ji's soup dumpling, it's just across the street."

Lin Mu happily agreed.

Lin Mu took the elevator downstairs alone. Today is December 12, Christmas Eve.

While looking at the surrounding environment, she wrote down the way and followed the navigation to the supermarket on foot.

In order to cater for Christmas, there are a lot of packaged apples in the supermarket. She followed the trend and bought a big red apple, and bought some vegetables and fruits casually, and finally went to buy soup dumplings.

A bunch of people lined up outside the Guantangbao shop, Lin Mu shrank his neck and waited for a long time before reaching her.

When Lin Mu returned home full of expectations, he found that the house was very lively.

"Aunt Qiuchi, you didn't tell me when you were sick before. I'll come to your house to take care of you."

Song Yao scolded at the side: "Look at you, you are frizzy, and you don't know who takes care of whom."

Song Nian snorted, "Mom, you're talking about me again."

Ruan Qiuchi was distracted.

Song Yao's eyes signaled Song Nian.

Song Nian immediately fell silent.

Song Yao said softly: "Qiu Chi, Lin Mu will be back in a while, don't worry."

Ruan Qiuchi squeezed the phone: "Yes."

When the door was opened, Ruan Qiuchi stood up immediately. She walked over and wanted to take the pocket in Lin Mu's hand: "Is it cold outside?"

Lin Mu sniffed, and only handed her the soup dumpling: "It's not cold, the soup dumpling is still hot."

Ruan Qiuchi could only take the bun first.

Lin Mu greeted Song Yao and Song Nian.

She put the vegetables she bought back into the refrigerator, only to find that the refrigerator was full. It should be the vegetables that Song Yao bought by the way when she came over.

Their relationship is really good.

There was still a bag of well-packed apples on the cooking table. Lin Mu counted and there were nine apples in total. She looked down at her own apples, somehow not wanting to be discovered by Ruan Qiuchi.

Extra gifts.

Lin Mu put the apple in the cupboard and hid it.

Lin Mu washed her hands and went back to her room to change clothes. She went out for at most an hour. It seemed that Song Yao and Song Nian had just come here.

Song Yao's appearance is always gentle and gentle: "Are you still used to life here?"

Lin Mu nodded: "It's okay."

Song Nian is an acquaintance who can't stay idle: "Sister Lin Mu, I heard that you are a distant relative of Aunt Qiuchi, so we should be about the same age. My friend and I will go to Times Square tomorrow, do you want to go together?"

Distant relatives?

Lin Mu knew in his heart that this was to prevent her identity from being known to her. Song Nian was still a child after all, but he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Lin Mu said, "No, thank you."

Lin Mu's low air pressure made the atmosphere very bad. She found an excuse, went back to the bedroom, lay down on the bed, and didn't know why her temper was so explosive, obviously no one provoked her.

The more this happened, the bigger the gap between her and Ruan Qiuchi became, and she looked like an emotional lunatic.

When the knock on the door rang.

Lin Mu immediately sat up: "Come in."

Ruan Qiuchi opened the door and came in: "It's time to eat."

Lin Mu followed Ruan Qiuchi out, like a child called out by her parents. She apologized to Song Yao and Song Nian, but she didn't know what to call Song Yao when they were done.

Aunt Song?Sister Song?Song Yao is older than Ruan Qiuchi, probably in her 40s.

She didn't address her at all: "Sorry, I just didn't feel well."

Song Yao: "Do you want to check?"

Lin Mu: "It's okay, I went for a physical examination before."

Although the dinner was a bit late, it was still lively. Song Yao and Song Nian had eaten and left soon.

Like a child who did something wrong, Lin Mu lowered his head in front of Ruan Qiuchi: "I'm sorry."

Ruan Qiuchi said, "You did nothing wrong."

Lin Mu didn't say anything, she almost spoiled Ruan Qiuchi and Song Yao's good mood, and she didn't like being slapped when she was a guest at someone's house.

"They come every year today. I forgot to tell you, and I forgot to tell them in advance so that they don't come."

Ruan Qiuchi stared at Lin Mu's soft hair, clenched his fists, and resisted the urge to touch his head. In fact, she even forgot about it.

Only then did Lin Mu raise his head: "It's good that it doesn't affect the relationship between you two."

Ruan Qiuchi: "Don't worry, it won't happen."

"Then I'll go to my room first." Lin Mu walked a few steps and then stopped, hesitant to speak.

Ruan Qiuchi asked, "Is there anything else?"

Lin Mu shook his head: "No."

Lin Mu went back to the room, feeling uncomfortable doing anything, always thinking about that apple.

She gently opened the bedroom door and found that Ruan Qiuchi was not in the living room. She went to the kitchen and took the apple to the bedroom. Looking left and right, it was just an ordinary big red apple.

She told herself: We are all Chinese, and it doesn't matter if we fail to celebrate foreign festivals.

After some psychological construction, Lin Mu finally took the apple and knocked on Ruan Qiuchi's door.

Ruan Qiuchi had just taken a shower, his body was soaked in water vapor, wrapped in a bath towel, his chest was snow-white.

Lin Mu stayed where he was: "Here you are."
