Xueba at the same table from the future

Chapter 281 Melting Like a Cloud

"Whoohoo-"

Not long after, a long and peaceful snoring sounded from inside the curtain.

"brush--"

The curtain was pulled open, revealing Bai Duanyun's calm face.

"Old Yu, is he asleep?" The pig-headed boy handed Chen Mu a glass of warm water, who was still a little dazed at this moment.

"Well, fell asleep."

"Baimei, why did you come in so suddenly instead of busying yourself with business in the shop?"

"No, there are only two guests here since this morning, so don't worry."

After thinking for a while, Bai Duanyun looked at the old man on the bed and added.

"Money can never be earned, and people are more important at any time."

"I think so too." Chen Mu sipped his saliva with a smile, and nodded again.

"Then what are you going to do now, Baimei? Why don't you go to my house for dinner?"

"No, no, Mu Zi, you should live with your sister-in-law now. There is still Lao Yu waiting for me to take care of you, so you can't go too far."

"Then... let's go to the building you mentioned just now?"

Chen Mu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Bai Duanyun's blinking eyes again.

"This matter..." Bai Duanyun scratched his head: "Muzi, you have to ask your sister-in-law first, isn't she still at home?"

"Ah... You said this, it's all right."

Chen Mu suddenly remembered something, and then took out the hands-free red keypad from his trouser pocket.

"Huhuhu~"

There was a very soft snoring sound from the receiver.

"Sister-in-law... is she sleeping now?" Bai Duanyun couldn't help asking in doubt, and at the same time dragged Chen Mu from the back room to the front door.

"Yes, I turned on the phone for her before I went out, so that she wouldn't be afraid to find me when she woke up..."

Chen Mu tightened the shutter door with a swipe, and took a last look at the closed shutter at the back door.

"Or, I can go by myself. Baimei, you just said that it's only about ten minutes away from here."

"It's about ten minutes, but the road is not easy to walk." Bai Duanyun showed distress.

"Old Yu, he also needs to be taken care of."

"How about you call him too? Put it on the bedside?"

"Ah...why didn't I think of this move?" Bai Duanyun slapped his forehead when he heard this, and hurriedly re-entered the shop.

Chen Mu stood quietly behind him, smiled and listened to the sweet snoring on the other end of the phone, until Bai Duanyun came back, and then put the keypad in his hand back into his trouser pocket.

"Unexpectedly, your sister-in-law doesn't usually sleep much, but when she wakes up, she sleeps more deeply than anyone else."

"Old Yu is not like this. He is old and is easily woken up when he sleeps."

Bai Duanyun cautiously made a silence gesture to Chen Mu, and then imitated Chen Mu's example and put the phone in his trouser pocket.

"It's just that the snoring sound can compete with that old man of yours..."

The two of them didn't speak any more along the way, until Bai Duanyun stood in front of the building and then carefully complained.

"Baimei, where are your tools?"

Following Bai Duanyun's familiarity with the road, he came to the small gate, and the two faced the new lock on it.

"I just put it in your grocery shopping bag, Muzi, take it off for me. This is a new lock, and it only needs a wire."

"Strange..." Bai Duanyun observed for a while, then looked around, and rubbed his chin unconsciously.

"I remember the last time I came here to play, it was three or four years ago. At that time, there was only an old lock."

"But looking at this side, there are no traces of people living there. Why is it locked again?"

"Muzi, why don't we change places?" Bai Duanyun took two steps back while talking.

"It's okay, I'll be responsible for what happened." Compared with Bai Duanyun's doubts and uncertainties at this time, Chen Mu seemed quite calm.

"That's up to you, Mu Zi." After Bai Duanyun said, he turned his head and took a deep look at Chen Mu. He stopped talking and focused on dealing with the iron lock in front of him.

However, at this time, Chen Mu didn't pay attention to Bai Duanyun's strange gaze at all, instead he couldn't help looking up at the top of the tall building.

This building has obviously been unused for many years, and even the sides of the walls are already covered with creepers, and it appears to be in a state of decay from all angles.

But despite this, the whole building still stands firmly here, like a kind old man, overlooking the surrounding new small western-style buildings that are less than half the height.

"pat-"

The iron lock was finally opened by Bai Duanyun, and the iron wire was also stuffed into the grocery bag by the way.

Chen Mu quietly followed behind Bai Duanyun, without speaking, but listening to the trembling footsteps of the two, while carefully observing the bent wire in the bag.

There is no doubt that with Bai Duanyun's hand speed just now, if he can use this matter on the right track, he will probably be able to copy the top ten in the class even by copying notes.

He can only say that everyone has his own ambitions.

"Muzi, hurry up, there are too many twists and turns in this building, in case you get lost later, you idiot."

While speaking, Bai Duanyun stopped at the corner of the stairs on the second floor, half of his body was reflected golden in the midday sun.

The remaining half is hidden in the shadow of the corridor, commensurate with the slightly damp steps at this time.

"Okay, let's go, but the voice should be a little quieter, it's not good to wake up Xixi and Lao Yu."

"Boom boom boom——"

Footsteps were heard from downstairs to upstairs.

Chen Mu was only in a daze for a moment, then followed Bai Duanyun's pace again, until he stopped in front of the small open roof door.

"Muzi, come in, luckily the door to the roof is unlocked."

Bai Duanyun seemed to be awakened by some long-term memories, and even his pace couldn't help but slow down a little.

"Is it unlocked before, or has it never been locked?"

Chen Mu asked so cautiously, quietly watched the skinny boy walk up to the railing, and skillfully raised his hand to blow the autumn wind.

"Whether it was in the past or now, it is not locked."

Bai Duanyun turned around and smiled, as if he was quite familiar with everything here.

"You... seem to have been here many times?"

Chen Mu gently put down the vegetable bag in his hand, and imitated Bai Duanyun's posture and leaned against the railing.

"Of course, after all, this was the biggest difficulty I overcame at the time."

"Thinking about it carefully, a secret small base on the fourth to fifth floors, and a huge rooftop where you can blow the wind, is not exciting for any boy?"

"It's just a pity that there is a lock in front of me..."

Bai Duanyun lowered his voice for no reason, turned his back and looked at the dilapidated town street downstairs.

"Muzi, I actually heard what you said to Lao Yu behind the curtain just now."

"Old Yu, he always thinks that he is good at everything. Even at this age, he still doesn't want to admit that he is hard of hearing and has a loud voice."

"It's just..." The skinny boy reached out and stroked the blue rust on the front railing below, then flicked it away with disdain.

"Even if there is no lock now, I don't want this building."

"After all, this building has left me with both happy and painful memories."

"I once imagined, just stand at the place where you are now, Muzi, and jump down."

"It melts like a white cloud, blending into the blood-red earth against the blue."
