Chapter 179
"No, isn't this Banxian'er? Haha."
Ni Yangzhou laughed awkwardly twice and didn't dare to look at Yin Jiazhu's face.
Now that it has been said, and looking at the protagonist's expression, he doesn't seem like someone who can change his mind at will, Ni Yangzhou gritted his teeth, turned his head and looked over, just hoping that he had made the right bet.
"Brother, listen to me."
Ni Yangzhou walked to Yin Jiazhu, bent down and whispered a few words. The man's eyes fell on his shoulder, looking delicate and calm.
Mu Ying stood by the table and felt that the atmosphere was a little off, as if her head had suddenly turned into a 1,000-watt light bulb.
After a few words, Yin Jiazhu nodded and said to Mu Ying, "I will help you make the contact. It's up to you to decide what to do next."
Mu Ying understood that she just wanted to take advantage of the favorable wind to go where she wanted to go.
-------------------------------------
That night, Ni Yangzhou slept soundly on the comfortable and spacious bed for the first time in a long time.
Yin Jiazhu did not bother him. After taking a shower, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms. The young man originally smelled the fragrant scent of shower gel and wanted to give a few words to Mu Ying, but who would have thought that as soon as the thin quilt covered him and his arms embraced him, Ni Yangzhou fell asleep in a countdown manner.
Yin Jiazhu looked at the man who had suddenly fallen silent, and his half-closed eyes suddenly opened. He quietly placed his hand on the young man's back until he felt the regular rhythmic heartbeat inside, and then he slowly exhaled.
He is afraid.
The enamel cup was finally not hanging on his body today. Ni Yangzhou placed it steadily on the bedside, where he could reach it with just a stretch of his hand.
Yin Jiazhu hugged the person, using one arm as a pillow and the other hand to hold the hairy head. He felt that the whole world was hidden in his arms.
A dreamless night.
Ni Yangzhou woke up the next day, not knowing what day it was. In a trance, he saw the person beside him. He opened his mouth but could not say his name.
The man opened his eyes and looked into a pair of hazy eyes.
"...brother."
"Ah."
Yin Jiazhu lowered his head and kissed the corner of the other's lips.
Ni Yangzhou turned over and lay down, ignoring the illusion he had when he just woke up.
These eyes are so familiar.
Yin Jiazhu reached out and rubbed the young man's neck: "Did you sleep well?"
Ni Yangzhou nodded: "Good, very good, I haven't felt this comfortable for a long time."
The man's voice was a little hoarse in the morning: "Were you uncomfortable sleeping before?"
Ni Yangzhou almost choked on his saliva and turned his head: "Remove the subject thank you, thinking about these things anytime and anywhere will reduce your charm value."
Yin Jiazhu lowered her eyelashes: "Can't I think about it even in bed?"
The young man looked at the white ceiling and hesitated for a second: "No."
Then he continued: "——I can't think about it, but I can do it."
Until daylight comes.
The city was dilapidated and empty, with countless vehicles broken down on the road and fire hydrants knocked open. After spraying for days and nights, the water finally stopped flowing and the stray cats and dogs on the streets disappeared.
Without people, the environment seems to become like a flat painting.
In the painting, plants are the masters. They have survived millions of years of evolution and experienced the changes of the world, from the age of dinosaurs to the rise of humans. For them, the vicissitudes of life are just a blink of an eye. High-rise buildings will eventually be buried under the cover of jungle leaves, and vehicles seem like quiet insects, rusting and dying quietly in the place where the dragons are coiled and lying.
It was almost lunch time, and the two finally came out of the prepared rest suite.
Secretary Tang and his team were waiting in the conference room on the sixth floor. After Yin Jiazhu settled the young man, he went upstairs to attend the meeting. Ni Yangzhou scratched his head and very consciously took three turns and two turns to find the restaurant.
It seems like a staff cafeteria with good benefits, but the cooks inside are obviously not uncles and aunts. They are all big and sturdy, and they are quite imposing when they stir the wok.
In extraordinary times, food was distributed uniformly. Ni Yangzhou looked at the countdown clock in the dining room and was glad that he had rejected the man's last request.
A lady in the front row was waving at him. When he got closer, Ni Yangzhou found that it was Aunt Mei and Mu Ying who was having dinner.
Mu Ying also waved to him.
Ni Yangzhou nodded, quickly got a meal and sat down together.
"Aunt Mei, Xiao Mu."
Mu Ying was eating corn. She was not picky at all and half of the food was gone after a few chopsticks.
"Why are there so few fights?"
Aunt Mei's tone was concerned and gentle.
Ni Yangzhou said: "Not too hungry."
Eating too much in the morning.
The young man looked at the vegetables on the two people's plates, pumpkin porridge, fruit radish, and stir-fried spinach, and asked: "Are these plants sure to be free of foreign organisms? Just eat them like this..."
I didn't see the place where I could get food, but there were a few empty plates. I guess the supply was limited.
Aunt Mei smiled and said, "It's okay, eat it. These are all tried by Xiao Mu. Thanks to Xiao Mu, we can also benefit from it."
Mu Ying smiled, and dimples appeared on her face again: "It's okay, I would like to eat it cooked this way myself."
Ni Yangzhou asked curiously: "How to try?"
Does the protagonist also have the ability to distinguish between good and bad plants?
Aunt Mei said, "It's hard work. Take a small portion of each dish and let Xiao Mu try it. If she thinks it's okay, she can eat it."
"How can I eat that? I have to try each spinach strand one by one. How can I eat the rice?" Ni Yangzhou said, feeling that Mu Ying was too selfless.
"No, it's okay," Mu Ying explained hastily, "Just a little crumb each and put them together and it'll be like having a chopped vegetable salad."
"Who came up with this idea?"
Mu Ying raised her hand: "Myself."
"Did you really pass?"
Mu Ying smiled and said, "Secretary Tang supported me despite all the opposition."
OK, OK.
Secretary Tang.
Ni Yangzhou poked the braised pork on the plate and said, "Xiao Mu, you, you have to think about yourself more. If you don't like it, you still have to refuse it."
Mu Ying nodded: "I volunteer."
"Ok."
Ni Yangzhou looked at the girls who were eating contentedly, and started to eat as well. Aunt Mei had already finished eating, and now she was looking at Mu Ying while she was eating with a smile on her face, her eyes kind and meaningful.
Ni Yangzhou became more alert: "Aunt Mei, Secretary Tang has been very busy."
"Yes, sometimes we have to get up early and work late, but fortunately everyone cooperates and we haven't encountered any major obstacles so far. Now Jiazhu is back, and we finally have a backbone."
Ni Yangzhou did not continue to talk about Yin Jiazhu's matter, but just asked: "It's a good thing that you are taking care of Secretary Tang, otherwise he would be lonely without someone who cares about him."
This time he hit the nail on the head: "Who said it wasn't? It's really worrying that he doesn't have a girlfriend at his age." After saying that, he looked at Mu Ying.
Mu Ying had just finished eating the corn in her mouth when she belatedly felt the pressure.
Ni Yangzhou struck while the iron was hot and gave him a push: "Secretary Tang is handsome and talented, and so is our little Mu, capable, kind, and brave. It's a pity that he has to leave, otherwise it would be good for the two of them to get along well."
"Ah? Xiao Mu, are you leaving?"
Mu Ying was not stupid. She understood the hidden meaning of Ni Yangzhou's words. It's not that she had not thought about telling this woman who comforted her like a mother that she was leaving soon. She just didn't know how to start the conversation for the time being. She originally wanted to tell her on the way back to the room after the meal.
Ni Yangzhou can't wait for this. Secretary Tang, as a partner, has a complicated love history, so it's better to let the protagonist be alone. If there is any other trend of emotional development, it will have to be after going to the capital.
The protagonist's golden finger is bigger than his own, so she will be busy and they can develop feelings for each other. Then Ni Yangzhou has to respect her as a time management master.
"Yes, Auntie," Mu Ying wiped her mouth, "The central government has made arrangements, and we will leave tomorrow."
Aunt Mei didn't feel sorry for her son as Ni Yangzhou thought. Instead, she was sincerely worried about the girl: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Let's go back to the room and sort out your clothes. I just brushed those shoes this morning. I don't know if you can finish them."
Mu Ying nodded and walked back after him. As they passed by, Ni Yangzhou saw the tears in the girl's eyes.
Ni Yangzhou sat there, watching the two people walking away, and ate all the food on the plate.
——Abandon it and don’t talk about it again, work hard and eat more.
