Chapters 170 - and 99

I asked Pei-jie for a car, and planned to take 99% of the people out of Mu City.

Even if he's going to be soft-hearted after knowing the truth and probably not hurt 999, I can't let him take the risk.

I had been hungry all afternoon, which was also my mother's incompetence. I didn't expect to find one like this in the middle of the night when all the gas stations on the road were closed.

As a grown-up, my stomach rumbled. He was still sitting in the car, reading.

He didn't even have a head.

Occasionally, I would turn my head to look at him. He really looks too much like Mu Huainan.

When we got to the gas station, I took him to the bathroom to wash his hands. I wanted to drag him to the ladies' to help him, afraid he wouldn't know how to do it as a kid.

Then he blushed and shook my hand away.

"Auntie Lu! I'm already seven years old, and I don't need an adult to help me take off my pants when I'm three. "

Now it was my turn to blush. I didn't even know that I had grown up with a child like this.

It's because I'm not good enough as a mother.

I ordered him a bowl of beef noodles with beef and eggs.

"Auntie Lu, I can't eat that much." He raised his face up as he lectured me, "Although I know that Auntie Lu is not short on money, I am only seven years old. I definitely won't be able to eat that much, so you shouldn't waste your money."

I listened to his matter-of-fact lecture, then nodded.

"Alright, Auntie understands. Auntie won't waste any food and will finish all of it."

"En!"

With 99, I didn't feel tired even after an afternoon and night of driving, and he slowly fell asleep behind the car.

I was startled when I heard the book in his hand drop to the floor. I turned to see that he had fallen asleep, that it was the book.

Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

The child is my greatest treasure, and I can't bear to hurt him.

I parked in the freeway of the highway and pulled out the blanket. He covered it and fastened the seat belt and he wouldn't fall off.

As we drove on, I could see the dark sky outside the window, shimmering.

I am getting further and further away from Mu City now. The last time I went there was seven years ago and I don't know how long it will last this time.

In this city of the Mu City, there are too many records of me. Maybe it's a sad and heavy, maybe it's a happy and happy story, but those are all matters of our generation. Mu Huainan is old now, Peng Haobai has changed, it's time for me to leave.

In the end, we shouldn't place our bets on our children.

Now that I think about it, I'm already exhausted and I don't have the strength to continue playing with them.

This love affair. He couldn't say who was right or wrong.

When I saw the big sign on the highway and the colorful lights still flashing in the middle of the night, I was too busy punching in my card to see clearly.

When the car drove out, I suddenly turned around and saw that the car had passed through many toll points. On the big sign, "Mu City welcomes you."

I thought about how I played in my parents' embrace when I was young and refused to leave the Mu City. I thought about how I fell asleep in the car the day I followed Mu Huainan to the villa, and when I woke up, my back and waist ached. I got out of the car and saw the simple and generous courtyard of the Mu family mansion.

I was only fifteen at the time.

Now.

I looked back at the sleeping boy. We were all old.

Growing quickly passed by. Before he had the chance to mature, he had quickly aged.

I understand that not all lovers in this world can be married off and not everyone can receive true love. I am infatuated with Mu Huainan, from the time I was a girl until now, I have never changed. I have gone mad for him, given up everything for him, his eyes, his warm and generous hands, his embrace, everything about him.

The world he gave me. I'll never forget it.

But I can't see him again. I can't do anything when I see him.

When I saw him, I just loved him like a fool.

So now I take 99 years away, away from him, to a new world, let him go, also let me go.

In this world, even though there was love from the beginning to the end, there was also the feeling of being displaced.

But for the most part, things went against his wishes.

When I left the Mu City, he helped me rent a house in a nearby town. It was a very ordinary residential area, a very ordinary two rooms in a hall.

It was almost dawn when we got home, and 99 was still asleep. I carefully lifted him out of the car and took the stairs to the third floor.

There was no elevator in the old-fashioned residential building, and it was only six stories tall.

The furniture was covered, so I removed the bedspread and put down the 99th for a rest. I gathered my things in the living room.

In the past, Mu Huainan didn't let me do anything, he even saved up food on the plate for the nanny to wash. Now that I'm alone, I can't just randomly spend money.

After cleaning everything up, I sat on the sofa in the living room and curled up my legs. I wanted to turn on the TV to watch, but I was afraid of waking up Jiujiu, so I didn't go online for a long time. Once I went online, it would be Mu Huainan's business.

There was nothing to do. The living room was connected to the balcony. The door was made of glass, and one could directly see the sky outside. It was dark and a bit grey, but most of it was blue.

I sat on the sofa, hugging my knees, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The light in the living room was dim, and I was in a daze. I didn't know when, but Jiu Jiu woke up, walked out of the bedroom on his slippers "Tata". He rubbed his eyes, and called me in a soft voice: "Auntie Lu."

I turned around and patted the sofa cushion against his chest. "Come here."

He ran over to me with a smile and threw himself into my arms. I smelled the baby on his head and immediately felt that it was good to be alive.

"You must be hungry, do you want to eat something?"

I sat on the couch with him in my arms, my head on his little head.

Suddenly, he felt that the best smell in the world was his body.

He was tickled by me, and couldn't help but curl up in my arms and laugh.

"I like anything Auntie cooks."

"Alright."

I held him and kissed him on the forehead like.

Like that man used to do to me.

"There are towels and a disposable toothbrush in the bathroom. You can make do with them first. Today, I'll bring you to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities."

"En!"

The kitchen was very small and the utensils were also old. There were a lot of oil stains on the hood, and there were not many dishes at home. There were only the noodles and simple condiments bought at the gas station on the highway.

Simple ingredients had a simple method.

I've made breakfast, and I've washed and come out.

I smelled mint toothpaste on him and kissed him again.

"Auntie Lu! You went to brush your teeth too. "

He pushed me with his small hands, shoving me into the bathroom, where I was being carried to a packed toothpaste and half a cup of hot water.

He's so sensible, I'm so relieved.

After washing up and walking out, he sat on a small stool to eat noodles. He looked like he was having a great time and was enjoying himself.

"Is it delicious?" I walked over and sat beside him. "Slow down and don't burn."

His small mouth was stuffed with nothing but nodding.

"As long as it's delicious." I rubbed his head.

"Auntie Lu, what face is this?" He had to clear his mouth before he had a chance to ask me.

"Beef noodle soup."

"Delicious! "Did you learn it yourself, or did you hand it over to someone else?"

Hearing him ask this question, my heart froze slightly.

"This is …" I don't know what to say.

"One of my friends gave it to me. He used to cook it for me."

Jiu Jiu was a weird kid. He blinked his big watery eyes and asked me, "Is it a boyfriend or a girlfriend?"

I wiped the cilantro from the corner of his mouth with my tissue.

He began to eat, and I brought a bowl to eat myself. I couldn't help but ask him when I thought I almost tasted something.

"Is it really delicious?"

A big bowl of noodles was quickly eaten by him until there was only the last bit of soup left. His mouth, which he finally wiped clean, was filled with vegetable soup again. He looked at me and nodded vigorously.

He thought it was delicious, but as I ate it myself, I always felt that my cooking skills were much worse than that man's.

I don't know what was missing, either because the conditions were too simple or because I never learned his essence.

After dinner, Jiu Jiu and I went out to buy things. At night, our clothes were wrinkled from sleeping, so I helped him change his clothes before going out.

The child's clothes he had seen on his shopping trip last month, the child's shirt and suit, and a dark red bow tie, made him look like a gentle little gentleman.

Fortunately, he had bought too much at the time, so he could wear it now.

I went out with him to buy groceries, and my cell phone navigated around the supermarket, four or five kilometers away. It was too tiring to walk.

Jiu Jiu tugged at my sleeve. "Auntie Lu! Can you ride a bike? "

I looked down at him. "Yes, why?"

"Let's go there by bike!"

I looked at the shared bike by the side of the road and smiled. "You want to ride?"

"En!"

I hadn't ridden here in a long time, and the last time was when I was playing a band abroad, when we didn't have any money and I wouldn't ask my family for it, so I bought a secondhand mountain bike and set it to the maximum speed, from school to where we rode to where we practiced.

Those were all memories from a long time ago.

I brought ninety-nine, and let him hold on to me. He arrived at the supermarket in twenty minutes.

On the way home, I didn't ride my bike. I wanted to eat the candied fruits on the roadside. I looked at his empty front teeth and couldn't help but laugh.

"What do you want to eat? Licking with your tongue? "

His face reddened and he covered his mouth with his hand.

"I have other teeth!"

I laughed, bought a string for him, and walked slowly home with him.

Winter's tail, not so cold, but the trees on both sides are still bare, we came to this strange city, began a strange life.

Ninety Nine didn't ask why.

I'm grateful to him.
