Hold hands with you to the good day

Chapter 4 The "Secret" of the Sunset Strip

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the dryness and heat in the air subsided a lot, and occasionally I could feel a breeze brushing my cheeks.

Looking at the rapidly receding trees on both sides of the road, and looking at his brother who was sitting next to him driving seriously, Lin Mu finally felt the long-lost sense of belonging.

After driving for more than two hours, the Shen family brothers and sisters returned to the Shen family villa.

As soon as the car enters the door, you can see the white wooden fence, the towering brown roof, the lush green lawn and the colorful flowers in the garden, which is a combination of romance and nobility.

"It's Second Miss who's back!" As soon as Lin Mu and his brother entered the house, the housekeeper, Uncle Hai, saw them.Uncle Hai is 57 years old this year. As long as Lin Mu can remember, Uncle Hai has been a housekeeper in her house.

"Uncle Hai, how are you doing recently?" Lin Mu noticed that Uncle Hai had a little more gray hair on his head, and there seemed to be more wrinkles around his eyes, but what remained the same was that his kind face and eyes couldn't be hidden. love.Although Uncle Hai is the housekeeper of the family, he is more like a relative to Lin Mu.

"Okay, you guys go in quickly! Young master, give me what's in your hand!" Uncle Hai nodded with a smile, and took the bag from Shen Xiaofeng's hand.

Lin Mu put down the bag in his hand and went straight to the kitchen at home.Sure enough, she saw her father was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron at a glance.

"Dad! I'm back!" Lin Mu ran behind his father and leaned gently on his father's straight back.

"I just heard what you guys said, you should go and rest first, don't rub the oil on your body, you will eat in a while!" Shen Qingqiu's face was full of smiles, and he felt his daughter lying on his back and shaking. Shake your shoulders.

"Hey, Dad has worked hard! Mom, I haven't seen her yet!" Lin Mu straightened up and asked with a smile.

"Your mother went out with her friends this morning, she should be on her way home now." Shen Qingqiu glanced at his watch, just as the words on this side fell, Lin Yuerong on the other side arrived home.

"My precious daughter, you are back!" Seeing Lin Mu who hadn't seen him for a long time, Lin Yuerong hugged Lin Mu in his arms and patted his daughter's head lightly.

In the past few years, it seems that the family can only sit together for a few meals during the Chinese New Year.Now that my daughter has returned from abroad, the family finally doesn't get together much anymore.Her heart that was always worried about her daughter can finally be let go.

After Shen Qingqiu finished cooking the braised pork, he changed out of his apron, and the aunts at home had already cleaned up the dinner table.

After the whole family was seated, Shen Xiaofeng glanced at Lin Mu and signaled that she could talk about her affairs now.

Just as Lin Mu picked up a piece of braised pork and was about to put it in his mouth, he saw his brother's signal and nodded with his mouth pursed.

"Dad, Mom! Well... I have something I want to tell you..." It would be a lie to say that she is not worried. Although her mother has always been gentle to her, she is still not sure about her father's attitude.Lin Mu put down the chopsticks in his hand, straightened his back, and looked at his brother sitting opposite for help.

"Sister, tell me, parents will understand!" Shen Xiaofeng also received his sister's gaze, and directly laid the groundwork.

After expressing with emotion and reason, Lin Mu finished his thoughts.

There was a moment of silence at the dinner table...

"Mu Mu, have you really thought about it?" Shen Qingqiu broke the silence, he picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Lin Mu's bowl.He was not angry, and his tone was unhurried.He just wanted to make a final confirmation whether his daughter was just a whim.

Shen Qingqiu's words reminded Lin Mu of a few years ago, when her father asked her what major she wanted to study in the future, Lin Mu said that she wanted to study fashion design.Father also used the same tone as now, asking himself if he really thought about it.

Lin Mu understands what her father means. She has been taught by her father since she was a child that it is okay to make any choices in life, and the most important thing is to be responsible for your own decisions.

"Dad, I've already made up my mind. Don't worry, I will definitely do it well!" Lin Mu raised his head and looked at his father seriously.She knew that her father had agreed.

"Daughter, in fact, we will support you no matter what decision you make. It's just... if you want to open a shop, you can do it near your home!" The mother looked at Lin Mu beside her, with a bit of reluctance in her words.She thought that this time when her daughter came back, she could always be by her side.

"Mom, it's only about two hours from Yecheng to Jiangcheng. I can come back anytime!" Lin Mu took his mother's hand and leaned on her shoulder.

Lin Yuerong didn't say anything, just patted her daughter's hand lightly.

"Is there anything in the coffee shop that parents need help with?"

"Yeah, opening a store is not easy, and the process is complicated and cumbersome."

"Don't worry, I can take care of everything!" After hearing what his parents said, Lin Mu patted his chest with a confident look.

Shen Qingqiu and Lin Yuerong shook their heads helplessly. This daughter of theirs has always been like this since she was a child. She would never ask them for help if she could do things well by herself.

Shen Xiaofeng felt relieved when he saw his parents' attitude towards his sister's shop opening.Seeing the smile on his sister's face, he was also happy for her from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay, we've finished talking, let's eat first! Daughter, quickly try to see if Dad's braised pork has regressed!" Shen Qingqiu picked up another piece of braised pork and put it in his daughter's bowl.

"It hasn't regressed, it's still as delicious as before..." Lin Mu said with a smile while chewing.At this time, she was full of joy and felt that she was the happiest person in the world.

The sunset outside the window and the aroma of rice overflowing, add a few more happiness to this happy family of four.

During the few days when Lin Mu came home, his elder brother Shen Xiaofeng would accompany his younger sister to practice the car when he had time, and take her to familiarize herself with various regular routes.Lin Mu is fairly proficient in driving abroad, so she gets started quickly.

Three days later, Lin Mu drove his white BMW back to Yecheng.

Lin Mu, who returned to Yecheng, began to be busy with various matters of the coffee shop.After the transfer registration, she finally has her own coffee shop - Sunset Boulevard.

Sunset Boulevard, the name was already in Lin Mu's heart two years ago.It's just that at that time she thought that this name would be a piece of clothing she designed in the future, but she didn't expect it to be used here in the end.

As for the inspiration for Sunset Boulevard, it all starts with a piece of clothing sold by Lin Mu as a designer...

After studying abroad for two years, Lin Mu opened her own online store, and MULIN is the name of her brand.Later, she made some clothes one after another, but either no one was interested, or she never responded after asking.

That time, she spent a week making a white dress with an irregular skirt, pearl straps and red roses.

Lin Mu hung up the dress on the Internet, and it didn't take long for someone to ask about the dress.The difference is that this time the customer quickly bought the dress.Later, this guest became Lin Mu's most important friend in his life.

After selling her first piece of clothing, Lin Mu was extremely happy. This feeling of being recognized made her want to go out for a walk.

At this time, the sun was about to set, she walked downstairs, and the golden sunset covered the road under her feet.She saw children playing and playing, couples cuddling with each other, and old people supporting each other along the way.

From childhood to old age, people of different ages and identities walk on this road full of sunsets.

At that moment, standing under the setting sun, Lin Mu seemed to see the epitome of countless people's lives.

She stopped, raised her head, and looked at the sun in the distance with only a circle of light left.

Suddenly, she felt that the so-called happiness is nothing more than from holding hands to turning white...

The words Sunset Boulevard have remained in her heart ever since.

Later, no matter when, whenever Lin Mu thought of these four words again, she could still remember the kind of satisfaction that was recognized by others.And on that road, the definition of happiness brought to her by strangers.

After Lin Mu's coffee shop opened, no one ever asked her about the origin of the name of the shop.Gradually, this "secret" about Sunset Boulevard was also hidden in her heart.

Until one day, a man who changed the trajectory of her life stood beside her and asked her affectionately: Is there a story about your Sunset Boulevard...
