MTL - Not Spare the Years-Chapter 67
In the second half of the night, Mu Xueyi rarely dreamed.
Suddenly, she seemed to be no longer afraid of anything.
Not afraid of falling into the abyss, not afraid of how dirty your hands are.
Because she knew that there was a person, no matter how dark she became, who could see the light in her.
A good night's sleep.
When morning came, there was still light snow outside the window.
The sparrow landed on the wooden window sill, chirping, as if tired from flying, and borrowed a corner of the roof to look at the snow.
Zhou Zhenyue woke up early and was already dressed and sitting on the sofa.
There is a small induction cooker on the coffee table in front of her, and on the induction cooker is a round and lovely milk pot, which is cooking something.
Zhou Zhenyue was reading a book, glancing at the pot from time to time to avoid getting confused.
She is reading a book of "Management" brought by Mu Xueyi. She is holding a pen in her hand. While reading, she circles the dots, and writes comments in the gaps between the lines to facilitate Mu Xueyi's better understanding. .
Mu Xueyi rubbed his eyes and stretched, only to feel that he had never slept so well.
"Ayue." As soon as she woke up, she immediately called Zhou Zhenyue.
"Well." Zhou Zhenyue responded lazily, "It's here."
Mu Xueyi asked, "What are you cooking? Gulugulu, it smells so good."
Zhou Zhenyue: "This is the lotus seed soup that you asked Ge Weinong to bring back yesterday. I took it out from the thermal insulation bucket at the door in the morning. But it was too long, and it turned into ice porridge when I brought it out. I brought it. It's hot in the pot and you can drink it when you wake up."
Saying that, she put down the book, pressed the close button of the induction cooker, and opened the small lid.
A steaming steam floated out, accompanied by the rich fragrance of lotus seeds and white fungus rock sugar.
Zhou Zhenyue knew that Mu Xueyi was not used to eating too much in the morning, so she only took out a small half bowl, warmed it, and brought it to the bedside.
"Take a bite." She scooped up a spoon and handed it to Mu Xueyi's mouth.
Mu Xueyi opened her mouth wide and was about to hold the spoon.
Zhou Zhenyue tilted the spoon again and snorted: "Hey, it seems that I haven't brushed my teeth and washed my face yet."
Mu Xueyi was stunned.
Seeing that the lotus seed soup beside her mouth was taken away by Zhou Zhenyue again, she sighed.
Ah Yue was definitely teasing her on purpose.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Mu Xueyi obediently admitted, "I'll never say the same thing last night again."
Zhou Zhenyue just smiled, "I didn't say you were wrong. Before you eat breakfast, don't you have to brush your teeth and wash your face?"
She put the lotus seed soup away, walked back to the bed, stretched out her arms: "Come."
Mu Xueyi moved consciously, letting Zhou Zhenyue hold her up.
Zhou Zhenyue carried Mu Xueyi to the bathroom and let her sit on the small bench. First, I washed a towel with cold water, twisted it until it was half-dry, folded it into a rectangle, and let Mu Xueyi lift his face.
Mu Xueyi: "Huh?"
Zhou Zhenyue: "You cried for a long time last night, and your eyes were swollen. I'll give you a compress."
Mu Xueyi felt warm in her heart, raised her neck and closed her eyes.
The cool and slightly damp towel covered the hot eyelids, and a refreshing breath stretched directly from the eyes to the Tianling cover.
She hummed in comfort.
Zhou Zhenyue seemed to laugh, and then there was the sound of the toothpaste lid opening and closing. She should have picked up a glass of water, bent down, and said, "Open your mouth."
For some unknown reason, Mu Xueyi's heart suddenly swelled when she heard A Yue say these two words.
The tips of his ears turned red for no apparent reason.
"...Open your mouth." Zhou Zhenyue said it again, seeing her in a daze.
Mu Xueyi was covered with an ice towel in front of her eyes, and it was dark. She opened her jaw slightly, her tongue curled back involuntarily.
The toothbrush head of the electric toothbrush poked into the mouth, and with the buzzing sound, the sweet cherry-flavored toothpaste made dense snow-white foam on the teeth.
Taking advantage of the time to brush her teeth, Zhou Zhenyue talked to her about the later arrangements.
"I checked the weather forecast, and there will be a blizzard in two days. The road on the mountain is difficult, and the usual express delivery cannot be delivered. In case the blizzard seals the mountain, we have to make adequate preparations."
"It's almost New Year's Eve. Although it's not here, it's still a good year. In the afternoon, I'll go down the mountain to buy some daily necessities. I'll be back tonight, if I'm slow. If you have Whatever you need, you have to ask Ge Weilong to buy it as soon as possible."
Mu Xueyi took a mouthful of water and rinsed his mouth.
"You should have brought Xiao Ai here." She raised her chin and waited for Zhou Zhenyue to wipe the toothpaste from the corner of her mouth. "She takes good care of you."
Zhou Zhenyue used the towel to gently wipe Mu Xueyi's face and chuckled, "I have hands and feet, so I can take care of myself. You are different, you only need an assistant if your hands and feet are inconvenient. When you recover, You can also send Gervinong away."
"Isn't it more convenient for us to have an affair?" She raised her index finger and tapped Mu Xueyi's forehead lightly.
Mu Xueyi closed her eyes and smiled, "Even if I'm fine, she won't leave easily. She is watching me for Mu Guocheng, if I really drive her away, Mu Guocheng should start to doubt it. His 'weak', 'unusable' second daughter."
Zhou Zhenyue: "Then what's your plan?"
Mu Xueyi: "If the follow-up is to be carried out smoothly, first of all, Ge Weinong must become my person. I lack a real confidant. That kind of ... can become my eyes, my hands, my sword's confidant. ."
Looking at the water droplets on the faucet, she was slightly lost, "I can't keep avoiding her like this. Even if I can't use it for my own use, at least I shouldn't let her become an obstacle to me."
Zhou Zhenyue's action of washing the towel stopped.
After a long while, she said softly, "She's not a bad person, don't destroy her casually."
Mu Xueyi smiled: "Ayue, in your eyes, am I already crazy like this?"
Zhou Zhenyue turned her head and looked at her quietly.
Mu Xueyi pursed her lips and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything unkind to my conscience. Being cruel to the enemy and being cruel to everyone are two different things, I understand that."
Snow clothes are easy to carry.
After realizing this, Zhou Zhenyue was relieved and couldn't help but burst into a smile.
Her little girl has really grown up.
After washing and eating lotus seed soup, she guessed that Ge Weinong would be suspicious if she didn't see Xueyi, so Zhou Zhenyue packed up her things and left the yard in an empty space.
He took away their little signal soldier, pepper.
After Ge Weinong came back from work, he saw that the wild duck was no longer in the house, and asked about Mu Xueyi.
"Second miss, where was the duck yesterday?"
Mu Xueyi nestled on the sofa, flipped through the book full of comments written on Pillow Moon this week, and said casually, "I'm free."
Ge Weinong frowned: "You didn't go out, how did you release it?"
Mu Xueyi lied without raising his head: "I opened the window and it flew away by itself."
Ge Weilong: "?"
Ducks can fly?
Mu Xueyi seemed to be able to read minds, saw through her doubts, and smiled: "Well, wild ducks, is it strange that they can fly?"
Ge Weilong was still suspicious.
In fact, she had never been quite sure whether it was a wild duck.
Can wild ducks grow so white and fat?
Mu Xueyi didn't bother with her about the ducks, and took the initiative to mention: "I read the forecast that there may be a blizzard in two days. It's almost New Year's Eve, and if the mountain is closed, it will be inconvenient to go down the mountain to buy. The list, you take it, go down the mountain to buy it when you have time."
Ge Weinong took the list and glanced at it.
Mu Xueyi: "The first half is mine, the second half, you buy it for yourself. I will reimburse the money."
"By the way," she stood up and pointed to the bottom of the list, "that Lingmei pen is a New Year's gift for Miss Lin. The last time I saw her write a work daily, the pen she used had no cap. I checked it, and there is a Lingmei specialty store right down the mountain. You go and pick one for yourself. After you buy it, you can give it to her directly without going through my hands."
Gravinong squeezed the list, was silent for a moment, and said:
"Second miss, you don't need to spend so much time on me. I'm just an assistant. I receive the salary of the Mu family, and I do everything as it should, and you don't need to give me anything else."
Mu Xueyi smiled and leaned back, "A Nong, I know what you're thinking."
Ge Weilong: "…"
Mu Xueyi said slowly: "You must be thinking, 'Second Miss wants to bribe me with these small favors, huh, it's impossible. No matter how powerful the Second Miss is, is there Mr. Mu? I'm not a fool, how can I do it because of a little favor and small favor? , was bought by the weak second lady'. Don't you think so?"
Ge Weinong was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head: "I don't dare."
"Indeed, it's a simple trick that only the lowest-level employers can think of to buy a person's heart with just a little favor."
Mu Xueyi raised her lips and stared at Ge Weinong, her tone soft and gentle.
"But... If I can give you a lifetime of this 'little favor', then... I should be able to be regarded as a good employer. What do you think, Anon?"
Ge Weinong pursed his lips and did not speak.
Mu Xueyi knew that this matter did not happen overnight, and she did not expect to convince Ge Weinong with these three words.
But she must show her attitude and sincerity first.
As for how to feel...
It's a matter of time and opportunity.
"Okay, go buy it first." Mu Xueyi stroked his arm and looked out the window at the heavy snow, "If there are too many things, you can come back tomorrow."
Ge Weilong: "Then you..."
Mu Xueyi: "If I need anything, I will ask Miss Lin to help."
Ge Weilong: "...Okay."
Ge Weinong took the list, put on his hiking clothes and boots neatly, greeted Mu Xueyi, and went down the mountain.
This yard seems to be empty all of a sudden.
Mu Xueyi sat by the window, propped her chin, and stared at the snowy scenery outside the window all day.
It stands to reason that no one will disturb her mind again, and she should immerse herself in this pile of books on finance and management.
But I don't know why, I just can't calm down.
Always felt…
Unable to feel at ease.
After dark, she became more restless.
This was the first night she was alone. In the past, Ge Weilong would always be in the next room. Yesterday, A Yue even held her.
But now, she is the only one left.
She couldn't say it herself, she was always uneasy, whether it was because of loneliness or because of something else.
She sent a WeChat message to ask Lin Keni to come and sit down. Lin Keni quickly replied, saying that she was not on duty today, so she answered the invitation and came to accompany her from the staff dormitory.
After waiting for a while, Mu Xueyi specially packed the coffee table and boiled a pot of tea. Thinking, wait for Lin Keni to come over and give people a drink to warm up.
Unexpectedly.
What she was waiting for was not Lin Keni, who politely knocked on the door and waited for her master to allow Ken to come in.
Instead, he pushed open the door directly, Lin Keni with a flustered face.
"Miss Fungus," Lin Keni gasped, her chest heaving violently, "Blizzard is ahead, I just received a notification that the mountain road was blocked by many disasters, and many guests lost contact. Do you know anyone going out? If you haven't returned yet, get in touch as soon as possible!"
The author has something to say: Guess where Mr. Zhou is now
Zhou Zhenyue: Stop guessing, quickly send someone to save me==
