impure

Now that he has decided to participate, Li Mu is calm.Xu actually got his mobile phone number from nowhere, and sent him harassing messages every three days.Li Mu patiently told him that he had decided to participate in the competition, and if Xu Jing didn't want to lose everything, please be quiet.

This trick worked so well that Xu Jing stopped talking.

Li Mu called the organizer to confirm the competition at the last moment.But this time the organizers have recognized him, that low-key, humble but brilliant young contestant—someone has found out that he once appeared in Annie's video, and he was also a student of the late bartender Liang Chuan.

It is worthy of being a strict teacher who produces excellent apprentices, everyone said so.

They also selectively forgot with amnesia, how could Li Mu work in Hualang since he was Liang Chuan's student.

No one in the older generation in the circle knew about Liang Chuan and Zhao Shengyan's nonsense.

"Damn, gossip is all on my head." Zhao Shengyan cursed on the phone, "Son, your father, I really don't want to face you because of you. Tell me, how will you repay me later?"

Li Mu was stupid in front of Zhao Shengyan, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a decent word.Zhao Shengyan also knew his virtues, so he smiled and said: "Okay, what is riding a tiger is difficult, you just need to know it. The competition will be tomorrow. Have you ever asked for leave from your family?"

Li Mu glanced at Yue Renge who was watering the flowers on the balcony, "Ready to talk."

"Hey, you should be quicker!" Zhao Shengyan sighed, "You boy, once you close your eyes and your heart, this matter will be over!"

Yue Renge is watering the flowers.

The kettle for watering the flowers was bought in a supermarket, light blue, very small, like a toy for children.Because there are not many flowers, one pot is just enough.In autumn, it already looked a little sluggish, Yue Renge reached out and touched the leaves of the flowers.

The leaves are a bit dry and hard, showing a fragile texture.

The flowering period has passed, the most prosperous and lively, the most beautiful and charming time has passed, and the next blooming will wait until next year.

Just after the National Day, the sky has obviously cooled down.Although the southern cities do not have obvious seasons, the green leaves hanging on the treetops are already a bit too thick, as if the melancholy mood accumulated throughout the summer can fall to the ground at any time.

A pair of hands wrapped around his waist, covering his back with a faint warmth.Without looking back, he knew that it was Li Mu.

"What's wrong?" Yue Renge patted the back of his hand lightly.

Li Mu's aura came over him, "Tomorrow...I'm going out for a while."

"Oh? Where to go?"

"Brother Zhao said he was going to do some shopping. There were a lot of things. He wanted me to help him." Li Mu said, "Leave at noon tomorrow and come back in the evening."

"Why do I have to call you?" Yue Renge put the water bottle in his hand aside, and said flatly, "It's not like there is no one around him."

"...Brother Zhao helped me before," Li Mu thought for a while, and said, "It's not a big deal, and I can't refuse. It was he who suggested me to work in Dionysia."

"...Okay." Yue Renge sighed, "You man, if someone stutters you, you can remember it forever."

"That's not it," Li Mu meekly buried his face on Yue Renge's shoulder, "I will remember the kindness you have done to me for the rest of my life."

For a moment, Li Mu wanted to confess.The atmosphere was just right, and Yue Renge was in a good mood.The manuscript had already been typed several times. If Yue Renge got angry, he might not do anything to him if he said it out.

It's just that the cat gets angry, blows its hair, goes along with it, calms down, and then continues to live peacefully and beautifully.

Li Mu never felt that a threat from Xu Jing could have any bad impact on his life.

He stared at the back of Yue Renge's head, his hair was still thick and beautiful, like a waterfall of flowing gold.There is a scent of jasmine in the hair.Li Mu took a deep breath, he thought he was already used to this smell.If he can't smell it someday, he will be very uncomfortable.

"What's the matter?" Yue Renge looked back at him puzzled, because the hug was too long.

"It's nothing..." Li Mu mumbled, "Are you hungry? The vegetables I bought should be delivered soon, and I'll cook for you."

"What time is it? Let's eat." Yue Renge said with a smile.

"If you eat well, you will have the strength to live." Li Mu said, "I bought tomatoes and beef brisket. Didn't you say that the beef brisket I made last time was delicious?"

The words were finally swallowed back.Li Mu went to pick up food from the door, but he didn't dare to meet Yue Renge's eyes.What does it mean?With Yue Renge's personality, he would not allow himself to continue participating in the competition.Xu Jing's appearance brought him threats and distress, but from another perspective, it also brought him a little secret hope.

It was a pleasant surprise to be first in the qualifiers.According to the agreement with Zhao Shengyan to give up the next game, it is impossible to say that it is willing.Now that there is an opportunity again, and the possibility of exploring the unknown, Li Mu still wants to go further, which is due to his nature.

Don't say he is greedy, even if he is greedy, so what?He wants to move forward, he relies on his own efforts to climb up, not stealing or robbing, what's wrong?

"You, don't be too busy." Yue Renge looked at him processing the dishes in the kitchen, leaning lazily by the door, and raised his delicate chin, "Actually, I am with me, I am fully capable of making you live Comfortable."

Li Mu smiled, "Didn't I become a softie?"

"Is soft rice delicious?" Yue Renge asked him with a smile, "Why don't you wear a watch?"

"Cooking now," Li Mu said, "It will be full of oily fumes later, ruining the watch in vain. Wear it when you eat later, okay?"

"Yeah." Yue Renge nodded, "Let's cook less in the future, let's go out to eat. I'll buy you a few more sets of clothes later on. I'm tired of looking at those few pieces over and over again."

Li Mu was slightly taken aback, then raised his head and smiled at him.Yue Renge straightened up, turned around and went back to the balcony to tend the flowers and plants.

The day of the competition was a rest day, Li Mu prepared a full set of tools, and said goodbye to Yue Renge generously.Yue Renge regarded him as a child, and stuffed a lot of food and drink into his bag. Li Mu smiled while watching, "Okay, that's enough, I'll go for a long time."

"Half a day is also very long," Yue Renge said, "Did Lao Zhao tell you to take care of the food? If you are hungry by then, don't save money, find a place to eat something, you know?"

"I know." Li Mu smiled and carried the bag on his shoulders, and Yue Renge came over to help him straighten the collar of his clothes.Carefully straightening the turned-up neckline, Yue Renge frowned dissatisfied, "You, why don't you have any decent clothes all over your body?"

Li Mu put his face on Yue Renge's palm meekly, "Did you dislike me?"

The frowning eyebrows were stretched out again, and the palms were warm, and they were closed, and the fingertips pinched Li Mu's face lightly, "Go," Yue Renge said with a smile, "It's annoying."

Li Mu smiled and waved goodbye to him.

Zhao Shengyan's car was parked downstairs, and Yue Renge stood on the balcony, silently counting the time for Li Mu to go downstairs.One minute and 20 seconds later, Li Mu's figure came out of the building. Yue Renge watched him get into Zhao Shengyan's car, and the smile on his face gradually froze.

"He didn't say anything, did he?" Zhu Zhu drove while Zhao Shengyan sat in the back seat.

Sitting next to Zhao Shengyan, Li Mu shook his head, "I didn't say anything."

"Okay," Zhao Shengyan lit a cigarette, lowered the window, and the breezy wind blew away the smoke, "I thought he would ask questions. I don't know Lao Yue well, but he thought It's true. You are another fool. If you have something to say, you will not lie. If he really wants to beat you, you can't help but expose yourself."

Zhao Shengyan's words are rough, but every sentence is true.Li Mu's face turned red and white after being told, but he didn't dare to refute. "I have already talked to Xu Jing," Zhao Shengyan said, "If you can enter the final, you will win. The local TV station will report the final, so you can't go if you say anything."

Li Mu nodded, and after a long time, "...Thank you Brother Zhao."

"Hey," Zhao Shengyan shook his head helplessly, "this is being both a father and a mother. If it weren't for...forget it, after this trip, I don't care about you. Me, I want to take a long vacation for myself , go on a trip!"

Zhu Zhu smiled and said, "Then what shall we do!"

"You keep going to work." The wicked capitalist said with a smirk, "It's almost the end of the year, how can I change my car if I don't make more money?"

Everyone laughed again.Li Mu couldn't help feeling relieved.He lowered the car window, and the sky was as clear as blue, with fluffy white clouds floating in the clear sky, and occasionally a black shadow drifted by, not sure if it was a mountain eagle or a wild crane.

It's a fine day.There are almost no cars on the wide provincial road, and the roads are lined with rice fields after the harvest.Tall stacks of wheat flashed past Li Mu one by one, flashing past, eyes full of dazzling gold.The air is warm and smoky, grassy, ​​and heart-pounding, and it softens the bones.Li Mu took a deep breath. For some reason, he felt like crying.

This step was completely beyond his expectation, but it was not unacceptable to him.Li Mu knew very well that he was taking a risk, if he made a wrong step, he would be doomed forever.

He looked out of the window, and the mountain eagle lingering on the autumn rice fields suddenly approached and then disappeared.He could see the wings shining in the sun, and suddenly understood the loneliness of the eagle.

Li Mu knew where the sadness came from.Everything he desires, and Yue Renge, has begun to gradually split.He wanted to heal the relationship between the two, maybe the rift was short-lived, he prayed.

He had never felt so conflicted.Both looking forward to the beginning and longing for the end.

"It's almost there." Zhao Shengyan said suddenly.

Li Mu turned his head and looked at him.Zhao Shengyan patted Li Mu's leg, "Don't think too much, since this is the case, we can only move forward."
