MTMIO Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Like a Silent Empty Valley, Filled with Gentle Warm Spring Breeze

Chapter 55 Like a Silent Empty Valley, Filled with Gentle Warm Spring Breeze

The atmosphere in the kitchen felt like a solid frozen within the hands of time, melting away notch by notch as the second hand swept across the clock.

Not knowing how many notches had melted away, Yue Yunxi put down the glass in her hand.

The bottom of the glass collided with the marble countertop, making a crisp sound that broke the silence.

Lu You hesitated for a few seconds, but still chose to express her feelings honestly, “To be honest, if we had just met now, your actions would be a little scary.”

“I’m sorry.” Yue Yunxi lowered her head, her hands hanging in front of her, fidgeting with her knuckles.

Her posture of humbling herself resembled a child who hadn’t intentionally done something wrong, feeling wronged and dejected, yet anxiously waiting to be lectured.

An apology from an elder had a strong impact.

Lu You instantly lost her temper, “But, there are no ifs in this world.”

Yue Yunxi’s breath hitched.

Her heart seemed like the moon reflected in the water, swaying in the evening breeze, rising and falling with the tone of each of her words.

“Although I don’t understand you as much as you understand me, I’ve known you for so many years, so…” Lu You said, walking forward and flicking Yue Yunxi’s forehead like Yue Yunxi had done to her yesterday, “Forgiven~”

Yue Yunxi covered her forehead, looked at her, the corners of her eyes were red, her eyes like obsidian sunk in water.

Lu You coughed tactically, moved to her side, picked up the glass, turned the cups on the tea tray right-side up, and poured herself a glass of water, “I also want to thank you for taking Grandma for a walk and listening to her ramble.”

“Some kind of substantial thanks?”

“You’re turning things upside down on me.” Lu You glared at Yue Yunxi with amusement, but still followed up with, “What kind of thanks do you want?”

She didn’t hear Yue Yunxi’s reply.

Lu You turned her body to look over, only to see Yue Yunxi’s long eyelashes half-lowered, her gaze unfocused, landing on the void.

She didn’t know if she was lost in thought or still thinking.

She took a step forward, got closer, and waved her hand in front of Yue Yunxi, asking, “Hey, have you thought about it?”

As if thinking of something, Yue Yunxi closed her eyes, then suddenly turned to face her, reaching out and stroking the back of her neck to the back of her head, her fingertips running through her low ponytail that resembled a feathery shuttlecock.

Brown-black strands of hair wrapped around fair fingertips, making it hard to tell who wasentangling who.

Yue Yunxi didn’t hold the back of her head and press her forward, just fixed her in place, as if she didn’t want her to dodge when she leaned over.

Lu You saw the small mole in her right eye again, located on the right side of her lower eye corner.

It seemed to be the only path for tears when lying down and crying.

Located in this position, on such an atmospheric and elegant, abstinent face, and so faint, it could only be noticed when very close, in a very intimate state, it was excessively alluring.

Their foreheads lightly touched, and their slowed breaths intertwined in the cramped space being compressed.

It was as if she had stepped on air and been steadily caught, her heartbeat falling for a moment, accelerating in her chest.

Lu You unconsciously bit her lip, her gaze falling down, tracing the trademark logo on Yue Yunxi’s running suit, nervous about what might happen.

The tip of her tooth rubbed against the oral ulcer on the inner wall, and the sharp pain made her suddenly wake up.

She suddenly realized that in the instant she was held by Yue Yunxi, in all her instinctive reactions, there was no desire to escape.

Her heart was pounding, each beat heavier than the last, as if her heart was gradually sinking.

“The reward I want is…” Yue Yunxi closed her eyes, her voice gradually softening, “In the future, maybe you’ll see more of my dark side, don’t be afraid of me, and don’t hate me, okay?”

Outside the window, the morning glow dyed the floating clouds, the sunrise resolving all things, passing through leaves and branches, through the glass, entering along the gap between the two people.

The tone in these words was like the taste of coffee——

With a hint of sourness within, but an alluring fragrance emanating from the surface.

Lu You almost couldn’t help but respond, “I, I won’t hate you, and I won’t be afraid of you.”

Yue Yunxi still kept her eyes closed, her breathing gradually deepening, after she finished speaking, she curled her fingers and lightly touched her nose with her nose, saying, “I’ve saved it, Little Pinocchio.”

Don’t lie to me, liars will grow long noses.

A subtle rubbing sensation came from the roots of her hair, and a deep voice drilled into her ears, like a stone thrown into a lake, causing Lu You’s heart to tremble.

She finally understood why Yue Yunxi wanted to speak to her with her forehead touching hers.

It was like a solemn ritual of promise.

It was also at this moment that she belatedly realized that Yue Yunxi was the one who was truly afraid.

Afraid of being seen at her lowest point by the person she liked, more afraid of disappointing the person she liked than being hated or feared.

Lu You closed her eyes.

The air in the morning this season was always tinged with coldness.

Standing in this slight chill, she could feel her heart more clearly, and it had the same burning pain as last night.

“That… the reason why people are people is that they have emotions, thoughts, and complexity, and are very three-dimensional beings. You know, three-dimensional things all have light and dark sides.”

Yue Yunxi’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and slowly lifted, revealing a slightly surprised and joyful gaze fixed on Lu You’s opening and closing red lips, like a glacier melting.

So close.

“So, it’s normal for people to have a bad side.” Lu You hesitated, “Also, I always believe that liking someone, such a beautiful feeling, should promote people to develop upwards, rather than making people humble to the bottom…”

Like mesmerizing sounds entering her ears, hypnotizing her nerves and comforting her heart.

Yue Yunxi chuckled softly.

A thin breath lightly brushed against Lu You’s lips, and she couldn’t help but stop speaking.

Her neck was already a little stiff in this awkward posture, but she still didn’t take the initiative to withdraw from Yue Yunxi’s nominal “control.”

Even when she keenly noticed that the distance was shrinking inch by inch, she didn’t move.

In the end, it was Yue Yunxi who stopped in time, took a step back first, then turned her head away, avoiding eye contact, her movements were completed in one go, without a trace of hesitation.

Lu You stood there dumbfounded, a little dazed.

What…

She could only see half of Yue Yunxi’s profile, her lowered eyelashes, slender and curled, like butterflies perched on her eyes, completely concealing the emotions in her eyes under the wings of the butterflies.

Her tongue accidentally touched the ulcer, and Lu You was startled, not only because of the pain, but also because of her own lewd thoughts.

What should she do? She was actually looking forward to something happening.

Yue Yunxi picked up the glass on the island, looked up, drank a mouthful of air, blankly moved the glass away, and took a closer look, the glass was empty.

The water had long been drunk.

Seeing this scene, Lu You came back to her senses and couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Yue Yunxi glanced over.

Lu You blinked twice, raised her hand to her lips, and made a zipping motion, straightening the corners of her lips to match the action.

Yue Yunxi’s gaze also followed, glued to her lips.

The atmosphere that had finally cooled down seemed to be ignited again by the fire in those dark pupils.

The phone in her pocket vibrated at this moment.

Lu You was startled.

She couldn’t tell whether she was burned by Yue Yunxi’s gaze or frightened by the sudden ringtone.

The caller ID on the screen was an unfamiliar number in the same city.

It might be a delivery or a customer who needed piano tuning.

Lu You didn’t think much, and directly pressed the answer button, her mood hadn’t completely calmed down, and in a hurry, her hand slipped and touched the speakerphone, she didn’t notice, and directly lifted the phone to her ear.

“Hello?”

“… It’s me, Yoyo.”

Tao Xin’s voice on the other end suddenly blared out.

Lu You’s ears were blasted, and she quickly moved the phone away, when she was about to turn off the speakerphone, she glanced at Yue Yunxi as if possessed by a ghost.

Yue Yunxi was pouring water into a glass, only pouring a small half a cup, her hand holding the kettle hovered in the air for a while, before slowly putting it down.

Her body was sideways to Lu You, her head slightly lowered.

Therefore, Lu You couldn’t see what kind of expression was revealed between her eyebrows, let alone what kind of emotions were flowing within.

“I know you don’t want to answer my call, but please don’t hang up yet.” Tao Xin pleaded quickly.

Lu You clenched the phone, still hesitating, when she suddenly saw Yue Yunxi turn her face towards her, glance at her, her eyebrows raised slightly.

As if asking: Why don’t you answer?

She didn’t know if it was teasing.

Or really generous.

Lu You pursed her lips, turned off the speakerphone, and picked up the phone again to her ear.

“My dad just called me, Auntie Yue told him about the Stalker fan. You know, I hate that person very much, I can’t avoid him fast enough, so how could I have any contact with him?”

Tao Xin’s tone couldn’t hide her disgust.

“I don’t know how that pervert got into the fan group, that fan group is all big fans, I only said things about us there.

It was the day of the stage accident, the things on the show made me very annoyed, and you… so I went to drink with my assistant, and told her a lot, we both drank too much, and my consciousness was unclear, so I let it slip in the fan group…

But no matter what, it’s my problem… I’m sorry.”

It was really amazing, the same apology, but it gave her completely different feelings.

Tao Xin’s apology seemed to be taking responsibility, but in fact, it was all a pretext.

If it were in the past, Lu You might have asked Tao Xin why her first reaction wasn’t to care about her safety, but to defend herself.

But now, she didn’t care.

Nor would she choose to forgive.

She didn’t dare to think what terrible consequences would arise if she hadn’t listened to Yue Yunxi and asked the bodyguards to guard the door; if the bodyguards had something else to do temporarily, or hadn’t stopped that person; if Grandma had wanted to go out for a walk that day, and left with her…

With Tao Xin’s character, if she said “I don’t accept your apology,” she would definitely say more than a dozen sentences back, not arguing until she compromised.

Lu You simply gave a silence in return.

“Say something… no, don’t be like this, okay.” Tao Xin became a little anxious, “I don’t want to hurt you, of course, you might say that I still hurt you emotionally.

But this matter, I really wanted to tell you many times, I just didn’t know how to say it.

Actually last time, and the time before that, I was ready to communicate with you properly, but when I saw you and sister…”

The voice reverberated in her ears like a long Ting means cry/sound, and Lu You gradually couldn’t hear what Tao Xin was saying, because her thoughts were all concentrated on the other side of the island.

After Yue Yunxi drank the half cup of water in small sips, she first went to the sink to rinse the glass, the sound of water pouring into her ears, completely distracting her.

Probably noticing her gaze, Yue Yunxi turned back from the sink, and suddenly lifted her thin eyelids, looking towards her.

Their gazes met in the air.

Lu You’s breath stagnated, and she felt a burst of guilt, and quickly turned her face away.

“Hello? Hello? Yoyo?” Tao Xin asked her with a crying voice on the phone, “Are you still listening?”

Lu You’s attention returned to her hearing, and she was embarrassed for a moment, “… Say it again.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a gaze fall on her, and Lu You looked over.

She saw Yue Yunxi turn her back and walk towards the door without looking back.

No greeting, no sound, and no expression could be seen. But Lu You had a subtle feeling that Yue Yunxi was a little unhappy.

That slender figure quickly disappeared from her sight, and Lu You raised her hand to her heart.

It seemed to be empty for a moment.

The other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and Tao Xin took a deep breath, “Forget it.”

Her tone was stiff, and she was obviously unhappy too.

Lu You could understand, because she wasn’t listening to her seriously.

What was Yue Yunxi because of?

Lu You frowned, she wasn’t very interested in what Tao Xin said before, and didn’t ask further, hearing Tao Xin say forget it, she replied, “Then I’ll hang up.”

Just as she was about to hang up.

“… Wait a minute!” Tao Xin raised her voice, stopping her urgently.

Lu You stopped the hand pressing the button, “What else is there?”

Tao Xin was silent for a moment, and said awkwardly, “About Chu Xiao.”

Chu Xiao.

Lu You frowned and recalled, and quickly extracted the keywords related to this name in her mind.

The photos looked three-tenths similar to Yue Yunxi from certain angles, ambiguous with Tao Xin, a mistress, added her WeChat friend, told her that Tao Xin had a beloved Yue (moon) in her heart that she couldn’t get, and sent all the chat records to make her understand that a third party who looked three-tenths similar was more liked by Tao Xin than her, the mosquito blood.

“Did you spend money to find her to test me?”

Lu You came back to her senses, but was very confused, “What?”

“Didn’t you place an order to find them to do the assessment?” Tao Xin muttered to herself.

Lu You was more and more confused, “What assessment? What are you talking about?”

“It doesn’t matter, you just need to know now, Chu Xiao, she, deliberately, approached me.”

Tao Xin’s former band friends also said this, and Lu You never understood why someone would think that pushing these things to the other party would clean themselves up?

Speechless to the extreme, Lu You laughed for no reason.

“I know you don’t believe it, it doesn’t matter, I already have some clues about her, you wait.”

After speaking, Tao Xin hung up the phone directly.

“…”

Lu You looked at the phone screen, her eyebrows were almost twisted into a mountain, and she muttered angrily, “Inexplicable.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Grandma rubbed her temples and entered the kitchen, “Did you boil water? What’s wrong, why is your face so ugly?”

The old lady’s gaze swept over her eyebrows and eyes, and fell on the still lit phone screen, “Did those people send text messages and call to harass you again?”

“No, just ordinary harassing calls.” Lu You put the phone in her coat pocket and poured a glass of water for Grandma.

Grandma tightened her grip on the cup handle, and suggested suspiciously, “Take the time to get a new phone number, don’t use this one anymore.”

The hand holding the cup handle tightened slightly, and Lu You shook her head, “It’s too troublesome.”

“What’s troublesome about it.” Grandma arranged withoutroom for doubt, “I’m a little dizzy, take Yoyo out for a walk. Just in time with——”

“Dizzy, very dizzy?” Lu You interrupted anxiously, “Are there any other uncomfortable places besides dizziness?”

“My chest is also a little stuffy.” Grandma sat down on the stool in front of the island, turned around and comforted Lu You, “Don’t worry, I was uncomfortable when I first woke up, but it’s much better now.”

“Have you measured your blood pressure?”

“Our blood pressure monitor was forgotten, but fortunately Yunxi has one here, and I’ve already taken Little Liu to get it.” Grandma waved her hand at her, “Oh, I haven’t finished speaking yet, don’t always interrupt. You wait a while and go with Yunxi, she goes for a morning run, you walk the dog, and when you come back, let her accompany you to get the phone card done.”

Lu You was slightly surprised, she thought Yue Yunxi had already gone out for a run.

“Come, come, come, measure it.” Auntie Liu’s voice arrived before she did, and after the voice fell, she walked in quickly holding the blood pressure monitor, “I also brought the medicine.”

Lu You hooked her head and looked behind Auntie Liu, but didn’t see Yue Yunxi’s figure, “Yunxi… where’s sister?”

“Went to answer the phone.” Auntie Liu said.

After measuring Grandma’s blood pressure and watching the old lady take her blood pressure medicine, Lu You left the kitchen.

She Swing it around = circled around the living room, and when she heard voices in the direction of the bathroom, Lu You stopped and listened carefully for a moment, confirming that it wasn’t an illusion, and turned around and walked over.

Yue Yunxi’s phone was on speakerphone, and the closer Lu You got, the clearer she heard the content.

“That was originally a gift prepared for her, how can you give someone a gift and still take their money.”

It was Zhong Shuyun’s voice.

“She won’t want it.”

“She won’t want it.”

Two voices sounded at the same time, Yue Yunxi’s voice covering most of the voice in the phone.

It was unfamiliar, and a little familiar, and Lu You couldn’t tell who the other person was.

“Can you guarantee that she will want it now? The price can’t be settled.” Zhong Shuyun sighed, “Too much, and I’m afraid she won’t accept it, too little, and I’m afraid she won’t accept it.”

“I’ll ask her later.” Yue Yunxi said.

“Okay, then I’ll hang up first, I have a performance here.”

The call ended, and Lu You happened to walk to the door.

The door wasn’t tightly closed, leaving a thin door Sew = seam, and she could vaguely see Yue Yunxi standing in front of the sink.

The design of the bathroom on the first floor of Yue Yunxi’s house was very special, the shower room, toilet, and washroom were in different spaces.

After hesitating for two seconds, Lu You knocked on the door.

Yue Yunxi said, “Come in.”

Lu You pushed the door open and noticed that Yue Yunxi was using the honeysucklehoneysuckle winding flower hairpin she had made to coil her hair.

The wooden hairpin was inserted into a mass of black hair at the end, and it seemed to be coiled.

But the next second, Yue Yunxi released her hand, and the hairpin fell obliquely.

A head of long hair rippled down like seaweed in water.

Lu You: “…”

Yue Yunxi lowered her hand and breathed out slightly heavily.

She didn’t know how many times she had raised her hand like this.

Lu You lifted her eyelids, and across the mirror inlaid on the opposite side of the sink, she met her eyes.

Yue Yunxi’s gaze was very calm, she only looked at her for two or three seconds before looking away, lowering her head, looking at the hairpin in her hand, and asked her in aflat tone, “How’s Grandma?”

“Her low pressure is high, she just took blood pressure medicine, she’s better.” Lu You walked to her side and reached out her hand.

“What are you doing?”

“Help you coil your hair.”

Yue Yunxi held the hairpin, but didn’t hand it to her, and after a while, she said in a flat voice, “No need.”

Lu You was stunned, her fingertips curled slightly, and she lowered her hand to her side very slowly, “Are you… unhappy?”

Why are you unhappy?

Lu You didn’t have a chance to ask this question.

Yue Yunxi looked at her,bent the corners of her lips, her gaze softened, “No, I was just thinking that you don’t always live here, you won’t see me every day, so I can’t always be so lucky to meet you when I’m coiling my hair, and have you help me with my hair. Right?”

Her voice was low and soft, with a crisp and fragile texture.

She smiled very lightly, as if to comfort her, squeezing out an arc.

Yue Yunxi put down the hairpin.

Lu You’s eyebrows followed with afrown.

Yue Yunxi scooped up her hair, held it with her left hand, and stretched out her right hand to get the hair tie.

The shape of the curly hair tied into a ponytail was very beautiful, like gorgeous silk shaking down at the bottom of her eyes.

Lu You looked at it, and her thoughts followed those strands of hair, becomingwinding, awkward.

“You’re right, it’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him fish.”

Lu You didn’t even realize that her voice had a competitive meaning.

Yue Yunxi’s action of tying her hair stopped, before she could react, Lu You grabbed her right wrist, took the hair tie, and handed over the hairpin.

“Hold it.”

Yue Yunxi did as she was told without hesitation.

She was sowell-behaved that Lu You was stunned for a moment.

But only for that moment.

Lu You went behind Yue Yunxi, her palm wrapped around the back of her hand,manipulating her to coil her hair.

Yue Yunxi let her handle it, absentmindedly staring at the opposite mirror.

In the mirror, Lu You was standing behind her, not a few centimeters taller than her.

Therefore, she couldn’t see Lu You’s face, but she could clearly feel her body temperature, a warmth that was different from her own coldness.

Like a silent empty valley, filled with gentle warm spring breeze.

“First wrap the ponytail around, put the hairpin in from here on your thumb, then slowly turn the hairpin sideways, the hair can be loosened a little… and justpass it through from here.” Lu You tilted her head to look at the mirror, “Got it?”

Yue Yunxi blinked, “No.”

“… It’s okay.” Lu You was very confident, “I’ll definitely teach you before I leave.”

Yue Yunxi’s long eyelashes slowly lowered, she nodded, silently Clicked lips = hooked her lips, didn’t agree with her, and changed the subject, asking, “Do you need the bathroom? I’ll go out.”

“No.”

Yue Yunxi raised her eyebrows, “Then you came here specifically to find me?”

Lu You said “uh huh”, her head lowered, afraid ofcrashing into those eyes that would see through people’s hearts, “Grandma is not feeling well, she asked me to walk the dog, and asked me to go with you.”

Yue Yunxi smiled, her gaze sliding to the bottom of her trouser legs for herreservedness & proudness, “If you’re walking the dog, is your foot okay? Or I’ll walk it, you rest at home.”

The gentle voice floating above her head was like a warm current poured over her head.

It turned out that the insignificant burn would also be remembered in someone’s heart.

“It’s completely fine. Look, the red from the burn has faded.” Lu You pulled up herwide legged pants, her toes pointing to the ground, andtilting/twisting her leg to show her.

The bone lines of her ankle and Achilles tendon were neatly defined, very beautiful.

She had applied medicine there, and she remembered that the protruding ankle bone was a little boney.

Yue Yunxi stared at that spot, very lightly saying “uh huh”, indifferently saying, “Then let’s go.”

Lu You let go, her trouser legs fell down, and she unhurriedly withdrew her gaze.

Before going to the yard to tie up the dog, Lu You was worried about the old lady, and went to see her again, before she could finish herexhortations, she was driven out by the old lady.

“Look, what I’m raising is my granddaughter, clearly my old mother, alright, even my old mother can’tnag as much as her.”

Lu You: “…”

In the end, she went out the door amid the laughter of Yue Yunxi and Auntie Liu.

It was also amazing to say that, clearly they talked a lot yesterday, but the two of them still had many, many topics when they were alone, and the atmosphere of chatting was also very relaxed and natural, as if they hadn’t only started to become familiar this year.

And when she was walking the Bichon behind, watching Yue Yunxi running in the sun, she even had a feeling that they had been getting along like this for a long, long time.

Yue Yunxi turned around to look at her as soon as she finished her morning run, walking backwards, slowing down, until she gradually stopped.

Like in her previous dream, she stopped a few meters away from her.

But it was different from the dream.

The difference was that Yue Yunxi wasn’t standing behind her, she didn’t need to turn her head to see her.

She saw her standing in the warm sunshine, instead of the hazy moonlight.

Yue Yunxi was waiting for her, walking closer step by step.

The autumn morning sunshine was thin, like honeypouring from a bowl, with the scent ofLaurel.

In the aroma, Yue Yunxi’s soft voice merged, “What are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking… I seem to…” Lu You was like ahoney wormperching on the edge of the bowl.

She didn’t want to fly away, and even thought, of plunging in headfirst.

It didn’t seem to matter if she drowned in this honey.

The wind passed her ears, blowing away her voice.

“I like you a little.”

She thought Yue Yunxi hadn’t heard.

But when another gust of windlifted the broken hair on her cheeks, she heard clearly.

Yue Yunxi smiled and asked her, “Just a little?”

Lu Youtwisting theleash in her hand, the leash was shortened by a large section, the Bichon wanted to go to the grass further inside, but the grass on the edge was almoststamped bald and didn’t move a step, panting and squatting on the ground, glaringsquinting at Lu You with round eyes.

“Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!”

As if saying, you are such a dog!

“…”

Lu You didn’t realize why the dog was throwing a tantrum, and thought it was eating inside and out, and ruthlesslylifted the leash again.

Immediately afterwards, a light laugh approached her ear, and Yue Yunxi stopped in front of her, her hand, which was warm from running, stroked the back of her hand.

Lu You held her breath.

Yue Yunxi loosened the leash and said with a smile, “Then I’ll try harder.”

－

On the way back, passing by the business hall, Lu You hesitated for a long time, but went to get a new phone card.

Yue Yunxi helped her choose the new phone number, it was generally easy to say and easy to remember, only the last number “5408” was not satisfactory.

Lu You suspected that Yue Yunxi did it on purpose.

She also felt that she might have too much yellow waste in her brain and was overly sensitive.

The words turned around in her mouth, but she was embarrassed to ask.

The old card was still in the phone, after arriving home, Lu You updated the account information in the major software, and then sent a mass text message of the new phone number to the friends and family in her address book.

At the bottom of the address book was a number noted as “z.”

Opening it, she could still see the text message record that she hadn’t deleted.

The last message:【Today is my birthday, for the last time, I won’t bother you anymore】

Lu You’s eyebrows painfully twisted together, her fingertip hovering above the input box for a long time, until Grandma called her, she didn’t type the number in.

She moved her hand away, combed her hair, directly closed the interface, and switched to the new phone card.

This little episode was quickly covered by the more interesting and fulfilling melody of life.

Lu You was pulled by Grandma and sat in the recessed lounge area in the yard to pick vegetables.

The weather forecast said it would rain today, but there was still no sign of rain, but she could feel that the humidity in the air was greater than in the previous days.

The temperature was just right, and the wind brushed her cheeks, very cool.

Four people sat around the round table in a half circle, pinching shepherd’s purse leaves in their hands, listening to Grandma reminiscing about the past.

She talked about when she wasn’t married, she had an older brother and a younger sister at home, only she was stuck in the middle, her father didn’t love her and her mother didn’t love her, but she was never lacking anything, except for favoritism, her brother and sister had everything, she also had it.

However, no matter how rich the material was, it couldn’t fill the lack of spiritual needs.

So when Grandpa spent time and effort to chase her, she easily fell into it.

Lu You thought of herself, her emotions for Tao Xin back then seemed to be the same.

Yue Yunxi pinched the vegetables, gently touched her, leaned over, and said in an airy voice, “It’s going bald…”

Lu You quickly retracted her hand.

Grandma continued, “Your Grandpa didn’t have any money, my family didn’t agree with us being together, they thought I would suffer if I married him. But at that time, I felt that they werepartial, they couldn’t stand that the man I found was more handsome than my brother-in-law and more knowledgeable than my sister-in-law. In order to marry your Grandpa, I even broke off relations with my family.”

“Oh, that’s not worth it.” Auntie Liu interjected, “Your family’s original intention was for your own good.”

“Isn’t that right! Too love

love brained!”

The new word coming from the old lady’s mouth seemed particularly interesting.

Lu You and Yue Yunxi couldn’t help but laugh when they heard it.

“My Grandma is reallyfashionable.” Lu You said.

Yue Yunxi laughed for a while, and poked theprocess, asking, “What happened later?”

“A married daughter is like spilled water, later on, she lives her own life. Then I knew what it meant to regret not listening to the old people. This man, is two different people before and after marriage! Before marriage, I was his little princess, after marriage, I became his old mother.”

It was quiterhyming, and there was another burst of laughter.

Auntie Liu laughed and clapped her thighs, “Too right! Too right! That’s why I got divorced.”

“At that time, I didn’t know where to go after the divorce, thinking that I still had a son, let’s justmake do. Later I found out that this son wasuseless, and I regretted it a little, I shouldn’t havetethered myself for the sake of my child.” Grandma looked at Lu You, her eyebrowsrelaxed, and said very optimistically, “But my granddaughter is really good, it can be consideredbitterness is over, sweetness comes.”

Lu You was just about tomove closer to stick to Grandma.

She heard the old lady say “tsk”, and suddenly changed the topic, “Although she’s sometimes quiteannoying, always making people worry.”

Lu You changed her face in a second,drooping her mouth, “How could I…”

Grandma imitated her, “How could you~ look at you, look at you, this vegetable is going to bebald by you.”

Yue Yunxi shook the vegetables in her hand.

Lu You immediately understood, “This is even more bald than mine!”

…

Long, long after, Lu You would remember this day.

The autumn sky was clear, the wind was sunny and beautiful.

In the morning, they picked vegetables, and in the afternoon, the four of them sat around a table to play mahjong, shepicked the halo of the novice and entered the door, losing a lot, but she was very happy.

After the rain, the four of them hid in the study, Yue Yunxi held a computer and sat at the bar, put on silver-rimmed glasses, and guided several students online.

Grandma and Auntie Liu each picked a book, put on reading glasses, andnestled on the sofa to read seriously.

Lu You lay in the rocking chair, checked the housing information for a while, distracted and looked at Yue Yunxi.

She hadn’t never seen Yue Yunxi wearing glasses, but she had seen it less.

It had a different feeling than usual.

It was like a complicated vase, inserting a simple flower, both cold andbright/colorful.

Shelet her thoughts wander, and when Yue Yunxi looked over, she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

As a result, she pretended, pretended, and really fell asleep.

She didn’t know how long she had slept, but she was awakened by the smell of durian, she pinched her nose and tasted the first bite of frozen durian in her life, and still couldn’t accept such asmelly food.

But she found that Yue Yunxi was holding a small bowl and eating veryfragrant, her appearance was verywell-behaved, and the mature and steady feeling seemed to befumigated away by the smell of durian.

Like a greedyyounger sister.

Making her think that it was okay not to call Yue Yunxi sister.

At night, because the quilt wassunned by Yue Yunxi on the balcony without closing the window, it wassoaked by some rain andsoaked with moisture, and there were no other extra quilts, she lay on Yue Yunxi’s bed.

Perhaps to alleviate her embarrassment and awkwardness, Yue Yunxi placed acurved moon lamp on the nightstand on her side.

It was still a smallspeaker, with soothing piano music,melted in the faint warm light.

Yue Yunxi turned over andmove closer before falling asleep, juststicking to her, doing nothing.

“Don’t be nervous, I just want to be closer to you.”
