MTL - Take It Easy-Chapter 24 embrace

Xiao Jiu, be obedient, don't look around, don't think about it. "Change"

"Why are you welcome?" Tang Yuanzhou was just passing by, but when he saw Mu Qinglin was there, he stopped and asked, "When did you come back?"

Mu Qinglin, "Just arrived..."

"Come to find Xiaojiu just after arriving? You two have a good relationship now." Tang Yuanzhou's eyes swept over Zhou Yi's body. She was obviously very innocent, but she just felt awkward, especially her chin.

So, Zhou Yi preemptively said, "Do you want to know why my relationship with you has been so bad?"

Tang Yuanzhou, "Don't talk."

"Since you're here, shall we have dinner together tonight?" Tang Yuanzhou asked.

Mu Qinglin declined, "I can't do it today, I have a meeting at 7 o'clock. I don't have much appetite, and I'm so sleepy that I just want to sleep."

"The meeting is so late, what kind of unit are you?" Tang Yuanzhou's expression was a little suffocated. After thinking for a while, he pointed at Zhou Yi with his chin and said, "Why don't you go to your Xiaojiu's room and lie down for a while? She will change the drawing with me in the studio in the afternoon , don’t occupy the bed.”

Before Mu Qinglin could open his mouth, Tang Yuanzhou turned around and asked Zhou Yi, "Do you have any questions?"

If Zhou Yi wanted to say that there was a problem, she would be petty, "No..." she said.

Tang Yuanzhou made a final decision and directly arranged for Zhou Yi to take Mu Qinglin upstairs.

"The bed sheet and quilt cover were changed just the day before yesterday, so I don't have any new ones for you." Zhou Yi said.

Mu Qinglin just came back from the mountains, his clothes haven't been changed, his hair hasn't been washed, so it's too embarrassing to criticize anyone, "I'll just sleep on the chair for a while."

Zhou Yi supported him with his hand and put his foot on it. He pushed the chair under the desk in front of Mu Qinglin and said, "It is said that the chair can only be used for sitting, not for sleeping."

Under pressure, Mu Qinglin took off her coat and went to bed.

Although Zhou Yi's bed is small, it is soft and comfortable, with a faint citrus fruity aroma, warm and sweet, very suitable for counting nine cold days to relieve stress, so much so that Mu Qinglin was completely unprepared, and Zhou Yi didn't even have time to ask. When it was appropriate to wake her up, her breathing began to become long and gentle, and the tired look on her face gradually relaxed.

Zhou Yi stood by the table for a while, pulled out the battery of the alarm clock, then rolled his toes to the ground, walked slowly to the end of the bed, spread out the quilt piled under Mu Qinglin's feet, took a pillow from the inside and lightened it. Press lightly on the empty section of the tail.

Her quilt has a lot of things to do, and every time she wakes up, she feels "head-heavy", and it should be better to hang it halfway under it.

—

When Zhou Yi came down from upstairs, Tang Yuanzhou was not ready yet. She changed her mind, shook the gourd that had just been hung on the phone case, and ran to the front desk to look for Xiao Hei.

"Oh, I lost again." Zhou Yi glanced down from the end of his eyes to stare at Xiao Hei, his tone exaggerated, "Is it so difficult to play mahjong in ordinary games?"

Xiao Hei is sorting out customer information, and has no time to look at her at all, "You haven't finished betting yet?"

"If you lose to 0, you won't deduct it."

"Oh, then this one suits you."

Zhou Yi was speechless.

She didn't come here to humiliate herself, but how could Xiao Hei accidentally discover her gourd?

Zhou Yi pushed the phone to the side of the potted plant on the table, and said with a heartbroken "Ah", "Xiao Hei, your flower seems to be dying!"

Xiao Hei, "Fake, you can't die."

Zhou Yi was stunned, "Is our store so poor that we can't even buy pots of real flowers?"

Xiao Hei gave her a quick look, "Did you forget? The real flowers I bought before were all fake flowers that you bought before they couldn't live for three days. I didn't want to chop off your hands to change them."

"..." Did she really do such a bad thing?

"If you don't believe me, try it, you won't be able to pull it off." Xiao Hei said.

Zhou Yi tried to grab a leaf, and the pot moved so much that the leaf didn't fall off...

alright.

Zhou Yi withdrew his hand with a slumped face, and after a while, he poked the phone forward calmly, and then dialed the gourd down little by little, and it just landed on Xiao Hei's screen.

Little Hei raised his eyes, "Oh? Where did you get this little gourd from?"

Zhou Yi smiled with satisfaction, and then said in an affected and surprised tone: "Yeah, you found out, it was given by someone else. How is it? Doesn't it look good?"

Xiao Hei, "It's pretty, but it's too big to be a mobile phone ornament."

Zhou Yi hooked up the gourd with his fingers and shook it, "It must be big, otherwise how can we put pills in it."

"Pills?" Xiao Hei squeezed the gourd and looked closely, "Is this a medicine box?"

Zhou Yi, "I guess..."

"It's a pity, how chivalrous is it to decorate wine with such a beautiful gourd?" Xiao Hei pouted and said, "Walking in our Hongmen Lane, you can't do without some prestige."

Zhou Yi dismissed it, "What do you know, the important thing is not what it pretends to be, but the mind inside."

Xiao Hei was a little dazed, "What's your intention? Is it good or bad?"

Holding back his breath, Zhou Yi pointed at Xiao Hei with a gourd, and said viciously, "Just like you, you deserve to be single and have no friends for the rest of your life."

After saying that, Zhou Yi went upstairs to the studio without looking back.

Xiao Hei was humiliated for no reason, staring at the back of her head for no reason and muttering, "Could it be that the intention is "Nine, it's time to take medicine"? "

Most people who can send this kind of "blessing" have a serious illness.

Upstairs, a seriously ill person turned over in the bed, the place where the back shoulders were propped up was constantly pouring in air-conditioning, and the place where the feet were pressed by the light-weight pillow never felt a trace of coolness.

—

The twilight in winter is always extraordinarily diligent. As soon as the hour hand points to five o'clock, it walks leisurely from the sky, and embraces the whole city.

Zhou Yi was escorted by Tang Yuanzhou to finish changing a layout, and immediately collapsed back into the chair to refresh himself.

Mu Qinglin came in and saw it, and asked amusedly, "Painting or physical labor? What's on your eyelids?"

Mu Qinglin saw a white piece of paper on Zhou Yi's right eyelid, and wanted to help her remove it, but she slapped it away.

"Don't move around, evil spirit." Zhou Yi carefully wiped it with his fingertips.

Mu Qinglin thought he had misheard, and asked in puzzlement, "What?"

Tang Yuanzhou, "I kept yelling and eyelids twitching all afternoon, so I went to Baidu to check the life-saving methods by myself."

Mu Qinglin was instantly overjoyed, and deliberately stretched out her hand to play her under Zhou Yi's nose, waiting for her paw to hit the air, and said happily, "Why are you still a magic stick?"

Zhou Yi was annoyed, "This is called psychological suggestion, illiterate."

Tang Yuanzhou, "If you are capable, take out your elementary school diploma and compare it with Mu Qing, and see who is illiterate."

Zhou Yi politely retorted: "I'm sorry, I only study until I graduate from kindergarten."

Mu Qing looked at Zhou Yi with a smile, but didn't speak.

Tang Yuanzhou confirmed the drawing, stood up and said to Zhou Yi: "Let Xiao Heiyue's client come and look at it tomorrow. If this version is not finalized, you can tell him to leave."

Zhou Yi, "Why me?"

Tang Yuanzhou had already turned around to talk to Mu Qinglin, "Didn't you say before the business trip that the photo has been repaired? Can I get it with you later? Some old friends who were doing tattoos together at that time wanted to see it."

"No problem, but you can't go up, the entrance is strictly controlled." Mu Qinglin said.

Tang Yuanzhou, "Understood, leaving now?"

"Hmm..." Mu Qinglin nodded, and said goodbye to the magic stick, "Let's go..."

Shen stick didn't look back, he pinched the knuckles of his index finger playfully and said, "Oh—"

"Oh what." Taking advantage of Tang Yuanzhou's back to the two, Mu Qinglin quickly leaned over and whispered in Zhou Yi's ear, "It's good that you put the pillow under my feet."

Mu Qinglin left after speaking.

Zhou Yi leaned back in the chair half-deadly, with his hand pressed down and clutched his entire index finger.

The eyelids started to twitch again.

Could it be that tomorrow is really the fate to let customers go?

Depressed, Zhou Yi took out her mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Xiao Hei.

As soon as I clicked in, the screen was suddenly covered by the incoming call interface.

The system prompted that it was an unknown number, and Zhou Yi didn't even want to hang up.

Her social circle is only two hundred or so of "Buddha and Demon", everyone's phone number is saved, unknown numbers are mostly harassment, she rarely answers, unless she is in a bad mood and wants to find someone to vent her anger.

However, before Zhou Yi sent a "passing by" emoji to Xiao Hei, the phone rang again.

The slight and quick twitch on Zhou Yi's eyelids suddenly intensified for a moment.

She was silent for a few seconds, then swiped up to answer.

Lu Chang's voice came from there immediately, very low and anxious, "Xiaojiu, brother is leaving, leaving Hongmen Lane, leaving Jiangping, and going to a far away place. I promised to buy you delicious food I'm going to renege on those words, I'm sorry. As long as there is a chance in this life, I will make it up for you."

What if there is no chance?

Zhou Yi, "Where are you?"

Lu Chang's head was cut off for a few seconds, and he uttered a word to save time, "Xiao Jiu, listen to my brother, if you have a chance, you must go back to school. You can't stay in Hongmen Lane forever. You have to go out. You must be able to go out, the way out is open and bright, and Hongmen Lane will always be backlit."

Zhou Yi shouted, "You can too!"

Lu Chang laughed briskly, "You believe in brother, it's not in vain that brother treats you well."

"Stop talking nonsense, where are you?" Zhou Yi asked, suppressing the panic that was constantly growing in his chest.

Lu Chang didn't speak, and there was only a noisy and chaotic background in the receiver.

Then, the phone was hung up.

Zhou Yi called back immediately, only to hear a series of voice prompts that he could not get through.

This has been the case several times since.

The irritability in Zhou Yi's heart kept rising, and she couldn't sit still for a second, so she got up quickly and walked out.

Walking to the door, Ming Kai hurried up from below.

The moment he saw her, he was obviously relieved, and then he smiled and said, "Xiao Jiu, are you free? Help me to see a picture."

Zhou Yi frowned, "You never let anyone else touch your pictures."

Embarrassment flashed across Ming Kai's face, "I've been too busy recently, my mind is messed up, this picture is a bit out of mind."

Zhou Yi didn't speak, just passed him and walked out.

Ming Kai hastily grabbed Zhou Yi's arm.

Zhou Yi turned around, "Brother asked you to come?"

Zhou Yi guessed right.

Ming Kai knew that he couldn't hide it, he sighed and said, "Yuanzhou is for your own good."

Zhou Yi, "For my own good, tell me if something happened to Lu Chang."

Ming Kai hesitated.

Zhou Yi didn't wait for him to figure it out, "I'll see for myself."

"Xiao Jiu!" Ming Kai grabbed Zhou Yi's arm, and said helplessly, "Yes..."

Zhou Yi's restless heartbeat miraculously calmed down, and she asked calmly, "What's wrong with him?"

Ming Kai, "People are gone..."

"Why not?"

"I just said that I recruited a man. The people behind that man have some background, so I can't bear this kind of dumbness. I don't know the rest." Ming Kai couldn't stand it and cursed, "Is Lu Chang mentally ill? Mess around, you can't find a place where no one is around, you have to find excitement in the alley where people come and go!"

There was a buzzing in Zhou Yi's head, and the surrounding became dead silent.

Downstairs, Xiao Hei is still warmly entertaining the guests, and the loud music and drums are playing loudly, but here is like the short staircase separating two worlds, and Zhou Yi can't hear anything clearly.

She asked herself blankly: Is it because she didn't let them stay that they did it in the alley with no shelter?

Zhou Yi didn't know where the strength came from, and forcibly pulled his arm out of Ming Kai's hand, and ran down with big strides.

It took her only two or three seconds to climb a dozen steps, and it was obvious that Ming Kai was frightened.

"Don't let Xiao Jiu go out!" Ming Kai shouted at Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei didn't realize what was going on, Zhou Yi had already opened the door and ran away.

Zhou Yi couldn't remember how windy it was outside, how cold it was, and how painful the cold wind choked into his throat, but he knew that there were many people around the alley next to the bar, including spectators and police cars, 120 and the media.

Suddenly regaining consciousness, she had pushed through layers of crowd and squeezed into the innermost place.

Lu Chang was leaning against the wall, with a knife stuck in his chest, he seemed to die much faster than the half-naked man, but he couldn't die with peace...

His familiar eyes were full of regret and resentment.

Right on Zhouyi.

Are you blaming her for being cruel that day?

Zhou Yi pursed his lips tightly, the smell of medicine that always dissipated slowly surged up in his stomach crazily.

Immediately reaching the throat, Zhou Yi pinched his hands and quickly turned around, crashing into a soft and warm embrace.

Mu Qinglin held the microphone in one hand, pressed Zhou Yi's face into the socket of his shoulder, lowered his head and rubbed his chin against her cold forehead, and said, "Xiao Jiu, be obedient, don't look or think."
