When the three of them arrived at the park, Mu Zixi deliberately walked very fast. He left Shen Xiangmi and Liu Songming far behind and was thinking of an excuse not to be their third wheel when he happened to see Guo Lijian. He was sitting on a date red wooden chair, listening attentively to the people in the pavilion playing and singing, his mouth constantly humming.
His appearance was just right. The heavens were really helping him. This time, he could kill two birds with one stone. Mu Zixi thought that today was going quite smoothly.
"I'm sorry, you two can go around. I just happened to see a friend there. I'll go talk to him about something.”Mu Zixi turned around and walked away.
Shen Xiangmi gritted her teeth in hatred. She thought that she was looking for an excuse again. It was only when she saw Guo Lijian that her anger subsided a little. Shen Xiangmi thought to herself,"If you want to look for handsome guys, then come and look for them. Why did you drag me along?" Along the way, she didn't want to say anything to Liu Songming. Liu Songming kept looking for topics, and she always avoided answering or responding.
Liu Songming was with the two girls today. He could see that Mu Zi was trying to matchmake them. He was very grateful to Mu Zixi. More importantly, he had more thoughts about Shen Xiangmi. He hoped that he could live with her for the rest of his life and protect her. He would definitely ask Mu Zixi out one day to get to know Shen Xiangmi better.
"Director Guo, what a coincidence. You're here today too.”
"It's Xiao Mu. I usually come here to listen to music and see the landscape when I have nothing important to do.”
"Oh, right, there's something I want to tell you. I won't disturb you, right?”Mu Zixi said after hesitating for a moment. When he said that he had two advantages, he naturally meant that he had encountered the best opportunity to persuade him.
"Nothing, what's the matter? Tell me."
" Didn't I see that you have two girlfriends? They're quite nice and extremely beautiful. However, you, you…" Mu Zixi still felt that she couldn't bring herself to say it. Thus, she, who wasn't thirsty, took out a bottle of cold water from her bag and drank some water first.
Guo Lijian was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to say this. Could it be that she also liked him and was jealous, or was she going to confess to him? He continued listening curiously.
"You can't have a foot in two boats. This isn't good. If the boat capsizes, there won't be a single one left. I'm not trying to meddle in other people's business. I saw that you helped me before and treated you as a good friend in private, so I came to persuade you.”Mu Zixi said everything in one go.
Guo Lijian's heart was beating faster, and he wanted to continue listening with interest. He did not expect to hear this. He was disappointed, amused, and angry. His heartbeat calmed down a lot.
"Zi Xi, you misunderstood." Guo Lijian calmed down and immediately explained.
"It doesn't matter if I misunderstood or not. I'm just a woman and I know women better, so I'm telling you this from a woman's point of view. If you hadn't helped me, I wouldn't have said anything. If you think I said something wrong, then just pretend I didn't say anything!”
"You've really misunderstood me. They're not my girlfriends.”
"I said you don't need to explain to me. I'm going to find my friend.”Mu Zixi really knew how to lie through his teeth. They were already so intimate, yet he still said no, especially with that Cai Xueqing. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Cai Xueqing walking over happily.
Cai Xueqing obviously saw her. She walked quickly to her side in surprise and said,"It's you."
"Yes, what a coincidence."
Mu Zixi could only greet her, thinking that Guo Lijian's relationship with this woman was better. Next time, she might as well persuade him to devote himself to Cai Xueqing.
"What's so coincidental about it? Brother, you're here on a date with Sister-in-law. No wonder you told me not to follow you today. I knew there must be something fishy going on, so I thought about it and still came.”Guo Xueqing asked Guo Lijian directly.
"Zixi, Xueqing is my biological sister, so I said that you misunderstood.”Mu Zixi felt that something was wrong when she heard Guo Xueqing call Guo Lijian Brother. Now that she heard him say that, her face turned red with embarrassment.
"Brother, what did sister-in-law misunderstand about me?”Guo Xueqing saw that Mu Zixi was blushing. She was extremely curious and quickly asked jokingly.
"No, it's nothing. I'm not your sister-in-law.”Mu Zixi hurriedly explained.
"Don't talk nonsense." Guo Lijian saw that Mu Zixi didn't like Xueqing's words, so he quickly helped her clear her name.
"What misunderstanding? Oh, I know. Last time, I said I was his girlfriend, right?”Guo Xueqing suddenly came to her senses. Thinking of what happened last time, she smiled and explained to Mu Zixi.
"I'm sorry, I was being nosy. I still have to find my friend. I'll leave first.”Embarrassed, Mu Zixi only wanted to escape.
"Sister-in-law, don't go yet. Let me make it clear to you. I'm really his biological sister. If you don't believe me, you can ask my parents. Don't be angry at my brother.”Mu Zixi had just taken a step forward when she did not expect Guo Xueqing to stop her and say such a long story for no reason.
" Your brother and I are just normal friends. Don't call me sister-in-law and don't explain so much to me. I still have something to do. I'll leave first." Mu Zixi removed her hand and left as if she was escaping. At this moment, she really wanted to find a hole to hide in. He originally wanted to persuade Guo Lijian out of kindness, but he did not expect to be tricked.
"Uh, Xueqing, do you think she's interested in me?”
"Tell me everything that happened so that I can help you!”
"Uh, if that's the case, then forget it."
"Brother, go ask him yourself. I'm telling you, I'm the best at judging people. You didn't tell me that you regretted it."
"Oh, really? I'll ask him myself, hehe.”
"Seriously, let me tell you, she's interested in you. Didn't you see that she blushed just now?”
Hearing Guo Xueqing say this, Guo Lijian was very happy. He hummed a tune and walked quickly out of the park. Guo Xueqing shouted from behind," Brother, wait for me. I just got here. Why are you leaving already?"”
The two of them disappeared from Mu Zixi's sight. Only then did Mu Zixi calm down. He muttered to himself,"Mu Zixi, oh Mu Zixi, when are you going to change your bad habit of being nosy? No wonder people called you nosy when you were in middle school. It's fine if you like to be nosy, but you still meddled before you even understood the situation. You've lost your face today, haven't you? You really don't learn your lesson.”
After talking to herself, she felt a little better. Seeing that it was getting late, she immediately went to look for Shen Xiangmi. She had to go back early today and go to her mother's place for dinner with Shen Xiangmi.
Shen Xiangmi did not want to hang out with Liu Songming anymore. She felt that there was no point in wasting time. When Mu Zixi appeared in her field of vision, she immediately said,"Thank you for today. Zi Xi is here. I have to go back first. Today, we have to visit Zi Xi's mother together.”She didn't want to wait for Mu Zixi to come closer and deliberately create an opportunity for them to not let her go to Yu Xiuqing.
"Okay, see you on Monday." Although he was reluctant, he could only agree.
"Yes, yes." She heaved a sigh of relief when she heard him say that. She had thought that he might still want to find an opportunity to ask her out tomorrow. She did not expect him to be so straightforward. Perhaps she had thought too much. He might not be a difficult man.
Liu Songming watched Shen Xiangmi walk away. He saw the golden sunset shining on her back, painting a beautiful picture with the surrounding flowers and plants. He couldn't help but sigh. She was too beautiful. She was beautiful everywhere. The soldiers were willing to fight for Helen's beauty for ten years. Helen probably couldn't be more beautiful than her, at least in his eyes and heart.
In the evening, Mu Zixi and Shen Xiangmi carried two big bags of fruits. When they arrived at the Butterfly Garden Community, Yu Xiuqing was preparing delicious food for them in the kitchen.
"You're here. Did you walk or take a car?”
"I walked here. I'm not tired. Mom, is there anything I can help you with?”Mu Zixi put down the fruits and ran to the kitchen to ask.
"No need, it's almost done. Your second aunt will be off work soon.”
"Alright."
"Xiangmi, try my mother's cooking later. It's delicious. I haven't eaten her cooking in a long time.”
"Yes, I want to eat it too. When I saw the dishes on the table, I knew that Auntie's cooking was very good.”Shen Xiangmi said, but she was thinking about her mother and couldn't help but feel a little sad. She didn't have much of an impression of her mother's cooking, but it was definitely delicious. Every child would like one or two of her mother's specialty dishes. It had her mother's taste, and only her mother could make it. However, how long had it been since she had enjoyed such a taste?
"Second Aunt, you're back."
"Yes, your mother told me that you were coming today, so I told my colleague to help me and came back early.”
"Oh, I heard from my mom that the job you're looking for has very long working hours. Don't tire yourself out.”
"It's okay. Girls are still better. They're considerate and heartbreaking.”
"Cousin is the same. If he knew that you were so tired, he would definitely be heartbroken. It's just that boys are not like girls.”
"Child, you've really grown up. You know how to comfort people.”
"Second Aunt, you've been taking care of my mother for so many years. Thank you!”
"What are you talking about? Also, we're taking care of each other. Your mother doesn't owe me anything.”
"Alright, what are you guys chatting about? It's time to eat.”Yu Xiuqing said as she served the last dish of Yuxiang Shredded Pork.
"Auntie, I'll go get some rice." Shen Xiangmi said as she hurried to help. Although she was not her mother or aunt, Shen Xiangmi still felt very warm.
Soon, everyone sat down around the square table.
"Xiangmi, try it. See if it suits your appetite.”Yu Xiuqing said as she picked up a large piece of braised pork and placed it in Shen Xiangmi's bowl.
"Yes, thank you. It's delicious."
"By the way, Mom, you didn't tell me properly on the phone that your work is free today.”Mu Zixi picked up a piece of eggplant and said,
"What's there to say about our job? It's just easy. The family I work for is quite good. They give me little work and are very kind to me. If you don't want me to do it, I'll really get sick from boredom.”
"Yeah, people our age can't stop. We're all fine, so don't worry!”
"Mom, Second Aunt is at Forget Not Western Restaurant. I've been there before and know where you work. I'll go and see you when I'm free!”
"There's no need. It's not like that if you go to their house. After all, I'm working there. Anyway, they're all very good to me.”
"Tell me, how many roads and numbers?”
"I didn't pay much attention to this. Take bus No. 8 and you'll be there at eight or nine stops.”
"Oh."
"Everyone, hurry up and eat. The dishes are already cold.”Yu Xiuqing started the conversation. She did not want Mu Zixi to know that not everyone in that family was kind to her, especially Chen Xiang who liked to vent his anger on the servants. However, she had taken his money, so she had to put up with it. Besides, it was not bad overall.
Although her words earlier made Mu Zixi feel a little more at ease, she was still filled with guilt. He did not have the ability now, nor could he let his mother live a comfortable life. Even finding a boyfriend to make her mother feel at ease was something that most girls could do, but she, Mu Zixi, could not do it. She still did not know where her boyfriend was. Her mother had asked her a few times, but she could only comfort her and say that she was waiting for the best. She told herself to work hard.
