MTL - I Can’t Act Anymore-Chapter 74

When the parents called, Mu Ze was under the guidance of Mu Mu and Chen Li, stringing the big chicken legs onto the iron sticks.

Because it was Mu Mu's and Qin Yucheng's birthdays, even if they had nothing to do, they would find a reason to get together and mess around. Of course, they would not let go of this legitimate opportunity to get together.

Duan Yu and Chen Li's house is not big enough, and Liu Gaoming's family has parents, so every time they have dinner together, it is natural that Qin Yucheng and Mu Mu's house becomes the place.

The few people present are not proficient in frying, frying and frying, but it is not a big problem for a group of people to bake a cake by themselves at home.

The parents' call was made to Mu Mu's mobile phone.

The eldest brother was wearing gloves, and glanced at the screen next to Mu Mu.

"Mom and Dad's video." He reminded.

Mu Mu was stunned for a moment.

"Oh..." He took off his gloves.

Mu Mu could also guess what his parents were doing in this video, but he really didn't know how to communicate with this strange couple.

He bit the bullet and waved to the person on the phone screen, but he couldn't say "Papa and Mom".

After the other end of the video dryly said "Happy Birthday", he also fell silent.

Mu Mu was almost suffocating.

Mu Ze accepted his existence quickly, and also calmly distinguished him from the original owner. Mu Mu got along quite happily with him.

But parents are different.

Mu Mu didn't get along with them before, so he didn't know what their attitude was, and the parents themselves, probably because of their busy work, didn't seem to know the original owner very well.

I can't even say the necessary words "fat" or "thin" to relatives I haven't seen for a long time.

Mu Mu and the couple on the phone screen stared at each other for two seconds, and felt that he couldn't bear it.

He turned his head and put the phone in front of Mu Ze: "I'll find a phone holder."

Before Mu Ze could answer, Azhai got up and fled.

Mu Ze, who had just skewered a big chicken leg, looked up at him, and then picked up another big chicken leg.

The parents were shocked when they saw Mu Ze, who was wearing an apron and preparing for the barbecue by himself.

Huaiqiu was stunned for a long time before saying: "Dabao, are you...?"

"Skewer chicken legs." Mu Ze replied.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the video.

Mu Ze heard that Mu Mingyuan had nothing to say: "I heard from the administration that your inspection work in City Z is a bit looser than before."

Mu Ze's hands froze.

He looked up at his father: "You made a mistake."

Mu Mingyuan: "?"

Mu Ze didn't want to say more, lowered his eyes, and continued to string up the big chicken legs.

When Qin Yucheng passed by carrying a box of charcoal, he scanned the screen of his mobile phone and paused: "Hi, old man."

Duan Yu, who was concentrating on going to the shrimp line next to him, suddenly gave up when he heard his greeting.

He put down the shrimp in his hand and looked up at Qin Yucheng.

Qin Yucheng raised his chin at the screen of the mobile phone standing on the table: "Mu Ze's parents."

The male star and Liu Gaoming poked their heads over and said hello: "Hello, Uncle and Auntie!"

Liu Gaoming didn't dare to make mistakes when he saw the serious elders, he didn't even dare to take a second look, and retracted his head after saying hello.

Chen Li also said hello by the way.

The two elders at the other end of the video were even more surprised.

They have never seen Mu Ze's... lifelike appearance.

Qin Yucheng looked at the cold and stiff biological parents and elder brother, thought for a while, put down the charcoal in his hand, and sat next to Mu Ze.

Mu Mu also found a mobile phone holder in the room, and ran over to put the phone on it.

The screen wobbled for a while, then finally stabilized.

Huaiqiu remembered that Qin Yucheng said that his adoptive parents called him by his nickname: "...Acheng, happy birthday."

"Thank you." Qin Yucheng nodded, and took the initiative to pass the steps to the parents on the other end of the video, "What were you talking about just now?"

"I said that your elder brother's recent inspection work has been relaxed a lot, and the employees of the Z city branch are all relieved."

Qin Yucheng was slightly startled, and he tilted his head to look at Mu Ze: "You guys are mistaken, the elder brother is here to accompany us this time, how can one person inspect?"

Are you still watching?

Inspections are not allowed to bring audit teams and the like? Can Mu Ze inspect alone?

Qin Yucheng was speechless.

During the week that Mu Ze stayed in Z City, he was indeed a bit busy, but every time he came back, he was even earlier than Qin Yucheng. Occasionally, Mu Ze went to the studio to pick Mu Mu home.

Mu Mu sat on the side as the background, not saying a word.

Qin Yucheng raised his hand and rubbed Mu Mu's head, and then straightened out the messy hair one by one.

Mu Ze lowered his eyes, threaded another big chicken leg in a very silent manner, and said, "I'll go back in the morning the day after tomorrow, and I'll hang up."

After speaking, he took off his gloves and pressed the hang up button.

The video was hung up, and there was no call back.

Even though Mu Mu was a little slow, he also noticed the rigidity of the parent-child relationship at this time.

He shrank his neck, feeling that it was not good to ask about other people's housework, so he simply put on his gloves and began to skewer the ingredients.

Mu Ze withdrew his hand and put on his gloves again. Before picking up Niu Wuhua, he paused, turned to look at Qin Yucheng, and said, "I can do the review by myself."

Qin Yucheng: "?"

Mu Ze said lightly: "I am a genius."

Qin Yucheng: "...?"

Mu Mu: "..." Grass.

Qin Yucheng, you lost.

Your big brother will always be your big brother.

Qin Yucheng thought that you were a genius, but he didn't see that you could manage a good family relationship.

But these heartbreaking words must never be said to hurt people's hearts.

Qin Yucheng forgave his elder brother, got up, picked up the charcoal, and went to the terrace.

A group of people tossed until very late, squatting in the living room after one o'clock in the morning, and said with their tongues that they wanted to watch a ghost movie.

Over the years, Mu Ze rarely stayed up all night.

He remembered that the last time he stayed up late was to deal with the leakage of an important tender document.

And this time...

Mu Ze raised his eyelids and glanced at the projection playing the horror movie.

In front of him are Liu Gaoming and Duan Yu who are sitting on the carpet, tightly hugging each other; on the right is Mu Mu, who is picking up the pillow and wearing earphones, only watching the picture but not listening to the sound; on the other side of the bar is chatting and cleaning up the mess Chen Li and Qin Yucheng.

Probably because he was really sleepy, Mu Ze looked at the deliberately dimmed light at the bar, and listened to the eerie tone created by the water piano in the speaker, and felt in a daze that if he could live freely and recklessly like this all the time, it would be a very happy thing .

He thought like this, but he was so rational that he just stopped thinking.

When I woke up the next day, there were three people lying on the sofa in the living room on the carpet.

Even Liu Gaoming, the dog who lived downstairs, didn't bother to go downstairs and go home to sleep.

Mu Ze took his steps lightly, and before he got close to the kitchen, he smelled the aroma of seafood porridge.

Qin Yucheng and Mu Mu were preparing breakfast for six people in the kitchen.

On the dining table are the disposable toiletries they went out to buy early in the morning.

Standing at the entrance of the corridor, Mu Ze heard the sound of a knife cutting into the chopping board, the faucet was turned on, something was being rinsed, and the two younger brothers in the kitchen were chatting in low voices and chuckling.

Sunlight pours in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the vertical shutters cut it into pieces.

Like a poke-breaking dream.

Mu Ze felt his heart pounding.

Mu Mu came out with a plate of braised pork tongue, but didn't notice Mu Ze hiding behind the corridor wall.

He reached out and ate a piece, and when he turned his head, he was caught by the elder brother standing there.

Mu Mu almost choked.

"Pfft, cough... Brother, you're awake."

Mu Ze came back to his senses and nodded: "Yes."

"It's just right, it's time to eat. Everyone has to go to work today." Mu Mu said, and under Mu Ze's gaze, he leaned over and took out a feather duster from behind the bar.

"Get up!" Mu Mu took a feather duster and killed the three people who were laying dead bodies in the living room.

Mu Ze: "..."

Mu Ze: "."

Let's delete this picture from my good memory.

Listening to Liu Gaoming and Duan Yu's yelling, Mu Ze looked away.

The reason why Mu Ze stayed in City Z until the day after tomorrow is precisely because on the 23rd—that is, today, Qin Yucheng has a very important exhibition.

The full name is the Asia-Pacific Regional New Technology Exhibition, led by G Province, supported by a large amount of capital, covering 23 countries and regions, with more than a thousand exhibitors.

This is a biennial international exhibition, and it is a huge opportunity for every individual and company that has obtained the qualification to participate in the exhibition.

The trade fair occupies the 11th to 13th floors of the Landmark Tower in City Z. The material floor on the bottom floor goes up two floors, which are the technical floor and the product floor.

Qin Yucheng's booth is on the 12th floor.

He checked the booth for the last time, and after explaining some things to the booth staff, he was going to go downstairs to browse the material floor.

When he came downstairs, the opening ceremony had just progressed to the ribbon-cutting part.

The media shot the stage of the opening ceremony with long guns and short cannons.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony is being broadcast live on the broadcast TV hanging above the exhibition hall.

Qin Yucheng was not very interested in this, and without looking up, he walked out of the elevator and went straight to the first material booth.

The crowd suddenly became commotion at this moment, and someone could vaguely hear someone saying something like "Boss Yuan Yang".

Qin Yucheng's footsteps stopped suddenly.

He looked up at the relay TV.

On the screen, Mu Ze stepped onto the stage and, as the controlling shareholder of "Yuanyang Finance", cut the ribbon for the fair.

Qin Yucheng was stunned for a while, until the ribbon cutting was over, his cell phone rang.

It was Makizawa who called.

"Where is your booth?" Mu Ze asked.

"No. 049 on the 12th floor." Qin Yucheng paused after answering, "What are you doing?"

"Look." After Mu Ze finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Qin Yucheng looked at the phone screen.

have a look?

The person who just cut the ribbon for the international exhibition as the controlling shareholder of Yuanyang, ran to his booth to see?

Qin Yucheng breathed out silently.

With the attention that Mu Ze just showed, wherever he pokes, the effect is similar to a live advertisement.

Not to mention that Qin Yucheng also had a face somewhat similar to Mu Ze's.

With Mu Ze's face, he will gain a lot from this exhibition.

—Obviously just want to help him.

Thinking about it, Qin Yucheng turned his head and got on the elevator.

The fair will last a whole week.

Qin Yucheng will be like a spinning top this week—maybe he will be busy for a long time because of the resource channels brought by this fair.

But even so, on the second day of the exhibition, Qin Yucheng followed Mu Mu to send Mu Ze off.

Duan Yu, who has quite free working hours, is also here.

When Mu Ze was going to the security check at the VIP channel, Qin Yucheng randomly found an excuse to distract Mu Mu and Duan Yu away.

Mu Ze paused slightly and looked at Qin Yucheng.

Mu Ze's suit was straight, and his expression was as cold and stiff as when they first met.

Qin Yucheng reached out and handed him the paper bag in his hand: "Mu Mu gave it to you."

Mu Ze was a little surprised.

He reached out to take the bag, which contained two pieces of clothing.

"Let me tell you first, the clothes are very cheap, and the alterations are leftovers, but Mu Mu made it himself." Qin Yucheng said, seeing Mu Ze take out the clothes.

Mu Mu bought more than twenty white T-shirts before, even if he divided Qin Yucheng into ten, he would not be able to wear them.

After receiving such a birthday gift, Mu Mu suffered from not having much money in his hand, and did not dare to set a precedent for a large overdraft, so he simply took two white T-shirts and changed them, and gave them to his eldest brother.

Mu Ze looked at the first white T.

On the front, a plate of candied sweet potatoes was put together on the dining table with scraps of cloth.

Mu Ze paused, and took out the second one.

The second piece is also made of rags. The front is the upper grill on the terrace, and the grill is also nailed with garlic vermicelli scallops.

On the back is the river view seen from the terrace of their house.

Because the time is short, it can't be called exquisite, but the thread that needs to be collected and the feet that should be hidden are all done properly.

Mu Ze put the clothes back into the bag: "Thank you, I like it very much."

Qin Yucheng glanced at the paper bag, then looked at Mu Mu and Duan Yu not far away: "Do you like them?"

Mu Ze was silent for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Then there is no other way, I can only play with you." Qin Yucheng took out his phone and pulled Mu Ze into the group.

The plane dragged a white trail across the clear sky.

Qin Yucheng chased away the male celebrity who was swearing, took Mu Mu back to his hometown, and went straight to the cemetery where his parents were.

Mu Mu's mother is not in this world, so naturally she can't get the certificates needed to buy the cemetery.

Because of these unacceptable procedures, Mu Mu has never put the matter of buying a cemetery on the agenda.

Qin Yucheng bought it after searching for a lot of connections in bits and pieces.

I brought Mu Mu here today to submit the content to be engraved on the tombstone, as well as the photos, which need to be handled by Mu Mu himself.

Of course, there are no photos.

After Mu Mu submitted the required date and name, he wrote the epitaph left by his mother.

—May Hades allow me to keep a Chow Chow, Amen.

Qin Yucheng looked at the epitaph: "...Auntie has a wide range of beliefs."

"Yes, she will say goodbye to everything she sees, but her main belief is actually money." Mu Mu put down his pen, "Come on, let's go see your parents."

Qin Yucheng has no objection.

The land that Qin Yucheng bought for Mu Mu's mother was next to his parents.

Mu Mu looked at the empty space, then squatted down beside Qin Yucheng, took a disposable wipe and wiped the tombstone with him.

Qin Yucheng looked at the photo of his parents on the tombstone, and said, "You two elders should tell me something nice."

Mu Mu put the wipes aside: "Then you have to make sure that you won't disappear suddenly like my father."

"I promise." Qin Yucheng swore to the sky, turned to look at Mu Mu, "What about you?"

Mu Mu: "?"

Qin Yucheng pinched Mu Mu's face and rubbed it: "You came from another world, so you won't disappear suddenly one day?"

Mu Mu was taken aback.

Qin Yucheng held Mu Mu's hand: "Are you really willing to stay in my world forever?"

Mu Mu blinked: "Of course."

Qin Yucheng got the answer, and turned his head to look at his parents who were snuggling up on the tombstone: "Did you hear that? He himself agreed, remember to say something nice to me."

The sound of the tide beating against the reef came faintly along with the wind.

The gulls chirped at this moment.

Qin Yucheng said, "Listen, they agreed."

"...that's a bird call."

Qin Yucheng laughed, and stretched out his hand to pull up Mu Mu who was speechless. The two of them held hands and walked down the stairs.

"Both my parents agree, we can't get a marriage certificate with our real ID cards, but can we find some time to take some wedding photos for them to see?"

"It's really just birdsong."

"That's what they asked the bird to tell."

"…Fine."

The two were shoulder to shoulder, walking slowly in the sea breeze.

Qin Yucheng repeated the old saying: "So when are we going to take wedding photos? We have to make a new pair of rings, and we have to do the wedding..."

Mu Mu calculated the time: "Do you have any special feelings for flash marriage?"

"No, am I afraid that if I don't strike fast enough, my partner will run away?"

Mu Mu turned his head to look at Qin Yucheng.

It's hard to see that Qin Yucheng, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is so insecure.

But in fact, if you really want to run, you can run even if you have a permit.

It's just that Qin Yucheng desperately wants something that can tie the two of them together.

Mu Mu looked into Qin Yucheng's eyes and said seriously: "You should do your job well first."

Qin Yucheng tutted lightly, and let out an "oh" out of interest.

Mu Mu looked away, muttering: "...The rest is up to you."
