Waiting for the eternity of the moment

Chapter 20 If You Never Grow Up (2)
"It's okay, thank you." Ruo Lin looked up and saw Han Haoxuan's handsome and striking face.

"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Han Haoxuan asked.

"Uh... Invite a very good friend to dinner." Ruo Lin deliberately emphasized "very good".

"Oh? What kind of friend? Male friend?" Han Haoxuan was obviously very interested.

"Yes, a very good male friend." Ruo Lin pretended to be very frank.

"Oh." Han Haoxuan deliberately remained calm, and then said, "Is your editor in chief? I have something to do with him, so I won't talk to you for now."

"He's here." Ruolin replied politely.

"Thank you." After Han Haoxuan said this short sentence in a blunt tone, he turned and walked towards the elevator, his back straightened, without turning his head.

For some reason, looking at Han Haoxuan's back, Ruolin felt a little lost.She thought he was here to find her, but who knew he was here to find the editor-in-chief, and it had nothing to do with her!

It seems that she is really a little self-indulgent.

He kissed her, maybe it was just on impulse, or maybe it was just as an amateur pastime.

In vain, she occasionally recalled the experience of being kissed, how silly!
It doesn't matter if you lose your first kiss, but don't lose your dignity!
What is he, Han Haoxuan!There are many better men than him in the world.

For one thing, Han Haoxuan is enough to disappoint Ruolin, that is, kissing her but still dating Xinyu.He said that he and Xinyu were going to cut off contact, but it was impossible.Men really speak better than they sing.

Ruolin learned from Xin Yu that the two of them often get together with his parents, either playing golf or going to the resort to soak in hot springs, and they plan to go to Mount Lushan on October [-]st.They are obviously already a family reunion, happy and harmonious, and they are living a fairy-like life.He also said that the place that brought her there was "paradise on earth", where there is nothing but a river and stars at night?
The more Ruolin thought about it, the more sad she felt.

In the end, I can only use this sentence to enlighten myself: Men don't have many good things, they are all high-level animals full of lies. Instead of expecting men to give their true feelings, it is better to treat yourself better.

Ruolin was walking towards the bus station while thinking, but unexpectedly met Mu Jingyan at the station.

"Why are you here?" Ruo Lin was surprised to see him.

"I'm afraid you will run away, so don't invite me to dinner." Mu Jingyan said jokingly, "I'm just kidding, hehe, I actually came here to do some business. What? Do you work near here?"

"Yes, yes. We always meet each other in the car. Could it be that we are destined to ride in the same car?"

"If you want to dig deeper into the fate, I don't mind." Mu Jingyan said half-jokingly.

"I knew that men don't have a good thing!" Ruo Lin gritted her teeth and said, in fact, she was mainly angry because of Han Haoxuan.

"Which man offended you? You look like you're going to eat someone up." Mu Jingyan looked at Ruolin and said.As smart as he is, he can see at a glance why Ruolin looks like this.It must be the man who sent her home that night to annoy her, right?Just like that day, the young couple had a fight.

"Wrong! I just know that men don't have anything good, so I don't have men at all. Am I smart, Amu?" Ruolin laughed deliberately, exaggeratedly, as if she was about to burst into tears.

Such a smile made Mu Jingyan feel extremely distressed. He pulled Ruolin into his arms and said generously, "I will lend you my chest."

"I rely on it, I don't want to rely on it!" Ruolin broke free from him.

"Girl, what dirty words are you talking about?" Mu Jingyan said angrily, but his tone was so gentle.

Ruolin can only smile wryly, in fact, the reason why she is so abnormal today is because she just met Han Haoxuan.

However, what she didn't know was that Han Haoxuan had been watching her the whole time after she stepped out of the office building.

Looking at the small figure downstairs through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Han Haoxuan couldn't help laughing at himself: What's so good about her?Why can't he always forget?
Fang Qiang, the editor-in-chief of Ruolin's magazine, has always had a good relationship with Han Haoxuan's buddy Qin Tianyi, and the reason why Ruolin became one of the columnists of "Fang Ling's Date" magazine is of course inseparable from Qin Tianyi and Han Haoxuan.

Naturally, Han Haoxuan would not tell Ruo Lin about all this.He knew her personality. If he knew that her current job had something to do with him, she would probably resign, right?Han Haoxuan believes that she will do this.Therefore, he simply didn't say anything, and forbade others to say anything, and just helped her silently behind his back.

He didn't come here this time to find Fang Qiang at all, but Ruo Lin, and it turned out that the reason why she left in such a hurry was to invite a very good male friend to dinner, which really annoyed him.

He also has the inherent self-esteem of a man, although falling in love with someone will make him lower into the dust, but his self-esteem has been hurt so many times by Ruolin.This time, Han Haoxuan tried his best to convince himself not to pay attention to her, pretended that he didn't care about her at all, pretended that he didn't come to find her, and then resolutely walked towards the elevator.

Who knew that just after arriving at Fang Qiang's office, he couldn't help looking downstairs, looking for Ruolin.

When that little figure gradually faded away, Han Haoxuan suddenly felt that there was an empty place in his heart, and hurriedly went downstairs to chase her.

But, when he finally saw her, what was she doing?
She was held in the arms of another man, and flirted with that man!
Is that what she called "a very good male friend"?
When Han Haoxuan stepped forward quickly, trying to pull Ruo Lin away from the man, the bus just came, and the two of them had already got on the bus.

Han Haoxuan also wanted to get on the bus, but was a few seconds late, and the huge bus had already left.Han Haoxuan shouted "Stop" while running, but his efforts were still in vain.In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the shadow of the bus got smaller and smaller until it disappeared from sight.

In annoyance, Han Haoxuan punched the air hard.

After Ruolin and Mu Jingyan got on the bus, they didn't notice that someone was chasing the bus they were on.

There were a lot of people in the car, and there was no empty seat in the car, and there were quite a few people standing.They found a relatively empty place to stand. In the next few stops, not many people went down, but people came up one after another, and the free space in the car became smaller and smaller.

Mu Jingyan stood beside Ruolin, with his right hand grasping the armrest above his head, due to his height advantage, it was easy to grasp.Ruo Lin stood on his left side, holding the back of the chair with one hand.

Both of them looked at the speeding vehicles and people retreating outside the window, silent, as if they had their own thoughts.

Suddenly, the driver made a sharp turn, and Ruolin lost her footing, staggered, and fell to one side. Mu Jingyan reached out to support her at the right time, and placed it on Ruolin's waist, stabilizing her leaning body. Body.After the driver drove the car steadily again, Ruo Lin realized that Mu Jingyan's hand hadn't left. There was a burst of heat from the generous palm, and her face flushed suddenly.Mu Jingyan's expression seemed a little flustered, he hastily moved his hand away, and stood up again, with a slightly unnatural expression on his face.

Due to the large number of people, they are now very close, only one step away.She could vaguely smell the mint aroma emanating from Mu Jingyan's body, which was refreshing.

After Mu Jingyan put down his hands, he said with a little apology in his tone, "I offended you just now."

"No...no." Ruo Lin's mouth parted into a smile, she faltered, paused, and whispered, "I should thank you."

At that moment, when that burst of temperature covered her waist, she thought of another person in her mind, the person who once put his lips on her lips to warm her and disturb her heart, the person who just didn't turn his head back to go elevator man.But that person just flashed in his mind and disappeared in a hurry.She forced herself not to think about this man.

"Then prepare me some food to thank me later?" Mu Jingyan followed Ruolin's words.

"My specialty is to keep it a secret for now!" Ruo Lin pretended to be mysterious.

"Okay, I'll wait." Mu Jingyan looked expectant.

After getting out of the car, Mu Jingyan accompanied Ruo Lin to the market to buy vegetables. Ruo Lin was in charge of bargaining and Mu Jingyan was in charge of carrying the bought vegetables.The two cooperated very well, like a young couple shopping for vegetables together.It's no wonder that the aunt who sells vegetables will say: "You young couple really know how to live and plan carefully."

Ruolin and Mu Jingyan didn't defend themselves, they just responded with a smile.

"Actually, we're not counting carefully like this." On the way back, Mu Jingyan said.

"Then what do you call budgeting carefully?" Ruolin was puzzled.

"If the two of us rent together, we can really count and save the rent." Mu Jingyan said solemnly.

"Fuck you! Damn guy! You deliberately took advantage of me, didn't you!" Ruolin said with a blushing face.

"Where is it? I'm telling the truth. You might as well think about it, okay?"

"Hey! Be careful, I'll give you rat poison in your meal later."

"He is thinking of you, in the idea of ​​helping you save money." Mu Jingyan looked innocent.

"Stop doing this, thank you for your kindness."

……

The two talked while walking, and Ruolin also felt much better.When she was with Mu Jingyan, she always felt very relaxed, unlike when she was with Han Haoxuan, she always felt a bit like doing something bad, like taking a risk.

When Ruolin was busy in the kitchen, Mu Jingyan came over and asked, "Do you need my help?"

"Who told you to come here? You just stay in the living room and watch TV."

"Hey, are you afraid that I'll learn from you? In fact, my cooking skills are not necessarily worse than yours." After speaking, Mu Jingyan planned to roll up his sleeves and come over to help.

"Student Mu Jingyan, today is not a culinary competition, but a thank-you meeting for you, so I can cook alone. You go to the living room to watch TV, and it will be fine later. You are here, it will affect My play." Ruo Lin pushed Mu Jingyan out of the kitchen door.

Mu Jingyan did not sit obediently in the living room watching TV, but stood quietly at the door of the kitchen, looking at Ruolin's busy figure in a daze.

Such a picture feels very warm to him, and this is also the feeling of home he yearns for.

Later, every time he recalled this scene, he still felt very warm.

The girl he likes is willing to wash his hands and make soup for him. How happy he is at this moment.

He wished that time could stand still at this moment, so that he could keep eternal happiness.

Mu Jingyan was full of praise for Ruolin's cooking, and she was a little embarrassed by the praise: "If you go on talking about it, I want to change my career to open a restaurant."

"I think so! If you open a restaurant, I'll be the boss, and you will be the proprietress, okay?" The tone was half-joking again.

Of course, Ruolin never took his words seriously, and only took them as a joke between old classmates: "Okay, okay, but... I want to be the boss, so you can be the waiter in the shop, okay?"

"You feminist!"

"Of course it's interesting to be a boss if you want to open a restaurant." Just as Ruolin finished speaking, the phone rang untimely.She picked up the phone from the table, saw the name of the caller, and didn't respond for a long time.

"What's the matter? Why didn't you pick it up?" Mu Jingyan asked.

"You eat first, I'll answer the phone." Ruo Lin said as she walked towards the bedroom with her mobile phone.

"Hello..." After the call was connected, a familiar magnetic and deep voice came from the other end.

"..." Ruo Lin didn't know what to say.

"Are you on the phone? It's me."

"I know."

"Are you having dinner with your very good friend now? Did I disturb you?" There was a lot of sarcasm in his tone.

"Yes." Ruo Lin purposely annoyed him.Why, are the state officials allowed to set fire and the people not allowed to light lamps?Just allow you and Xinyu to have fun with you and me, and I'm not allowed to have dinner with ordinary male friends?

Han Haoxuan was speechless for a moment, what he asked just now was really asking for trouble!

"Did you have any activities during October [-]st?" Han Haoxuan cut to the point.

"October [-]?" Ruolin remembered that Xin Yu had told her that during the [-] period, she would go to Lushan Mountain with Han Haoxuan. Could it be that she wanted to pull her to make a super big light bulb, and let her see the tenderness between the two of them with her own eyes? Just quit!So Ruolin immediately said, "I'm going home to visit my mother during the [-]th."

"Oh... Then send my regards to Auntie." Han Haoxuan said with some disappointment.

"There's no need for this. My mother doesn't know you. However, I appreciate your kindness."

"I don't want to disturb you and have dinner with your very good friend. Say goodbye and hang up first." Han Haoxuan also emphasized the word "very good".

"I don't want to see you again, so I won't say goodbye, you should hang up first." Ruolin said softly.

"You hang up first." Han Haoxuan insisted.

"Okay." Ruo Lin hung up the phone.

Han Haoxuan is used to listening to the busy tone from the other end of the phone, but why is he in a bad mood when he hears the busy tone this time?Because she is having dinner with another man at the moment?Because she declined his invitation?Or was he unhappy because she said she didn't want to see him again?

Ruo Lin returned to the dinner table, her expression was not very good.

"Did your boyfriend call?" Mu Jingyan asked tentatively.

"No. I don't have a boyfriend, didn't I say that before?"

"Who is that? A debt collector? Judging by your frowning face, it's likely that someone else is chasing your debt, right?" Mu Jingyan pretended to be indifferent.

"My biggest creditor at the moment is you, as long as you don't pursue the debt."

"I'm so honored! Do you want to repay me?"

"Here we go again! Mu Jingyan, are you real or fake? Don't you want me to pay you back early so that you can marry a wife? You know, it's a bride price prepared by your family for your future mother-in-law. Woolen cloth!"

"Can't I just tease you?"

"You've turned bad, Mu Jingyan." Looking at Mu Jingyan's childish expression, Ruolin couldn't help laughing.

"Don't you women often say that men are not bad and women don't love? So I want to become more feminine."

"You have really turned bad, classmate Mu Jingyan. In other words, how much I miss Mu Jingyan who was kind, innocent, studious and motivated!"

"Oh? Have you ever had a crush on me?" Mu Jingyan stood up as if he had discovered a new world, and stared at Ruolin.

"...No." Ruo Lin didn't expect Mu Jingyan to ask her such a question, and hastily denied it.

"Hurry up and eat, the dishes are getting cold." Mu Jingyan sat down pretending to be calm.Just now Ruo Lin's flustered expression and blushing had faintly told him that maybe she had really had a crush on him once.This made him a little happy.

Although he was a nerd when he was studying, in high school, boys with good grades were always popular, and he was good-looking, which won the favor of a lot of girls.This can be seen from the burning eyes of those girls, but he never thought that Ruolin was also one of these girls.

"Hey! Don't be sentimental! Don't even think about this girl! It is said that rabbits don't eat grass by the side of their nests, so you should follow this rule too..." While eating, Ruolin didn't forget to dismiss Mu Jingyan. The idea of ​​"passionate".

"I'm not a rabbit..." Mu Jingyan muttered softly.

"By the way, why isn't it common for you to bring your girlfriend home?" As God testified, Ruolin suddenly thought of asking this question out of sheer curiosity.

"Who spread the rumors? How can I have a girlfriend?" Mu Jingyan looked at Ruolin strangely.

"I saw it with my own eyes. At the party organized by Zhang Tianliang last year, didn't you bring a girl here? The two of them were so intimate that others might not have seen it, but I did." Ruo Lin said now When I was talking, my mood was already very calm, unlike when I first saw that picture I was lost.

"That's my cousin! I swear!" Mu Jingyan said solemnly.

"What are you doing so seriously? I'm not a judge." Ruolin couldn't help laughing.

"Shen Ruolin, I didn't expect you to be so concerned about my private life! I even came to ask if I have a girlfriend. But, why didn't I see you at that party?" Mu Jingyan remembered last year, when he was in high school. Activist Zhang Tianliang did organize a party when his cousin Rong Rong wanted to meet some handsome guys and insisted that he take her with her.It turned out that Ruolin regarded his cousin as his girlfriend!
"That's natural. In your eyes, I am just a grass that no one knows."

"You are not a grass, you are a flower, the most beautiful and bright flower in the world, I have always admired you."

"Stop doing this! You men like flattering the most!"

"Seriously, do you want to consider finding a fertile land for your flower?"

"Forget it, I don't want to think about emotional issues now."

"Are you from Harvard?"

"what?"

"It's just believing in Buddhism, escaping into Buddhism!"

"Slick tongue! Mu Jingyan, you have really changed a lot!" Ruolin kept shaking her head.

"Actually, I haven't changed very much. The main reason is that we didn't have the opportunity to sit and chat together before. You don't know me well, and I also have an outgoing side. And when people grow up, they will always change. You have also become aggressive. She is no longer the quiet and introverted Shen Ruolin."

"It's not so hot, but it has become a lot more optimistic. I used to cry when I encountered difficulties, but now I have forgotten the taste of tears. Laughing is also a day, and crying is also a day. Life has to go on. Why don't you laugh all day? ?" Ruolin was smiling when she said this, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly, as if she was telling life that she would not admit defeat.

However, in Mu Jingyan's eyes, such an expression made him unable to bear the feeling of compassion.

"Ruolin..." Mu Jingyan approached Ruolin, stretched out his arms, and gently wrapped her shoulders, "You are very strong."

"Thank you for the compliment. But it's just a skill taught by life." Ruolin said nonchalantly.

Such Ruolin can't help but make Mu Jingyan feel distressed and even more admirable.He likes her unassuming, sometimes quiet and sometimes lively character, and also likes her kindness and strength.

"Keep your hands away! Don't take advantage of me!" Mu Jingyan wanted to stay close to Ruolin for a while, but Ruolin suddenly said something that would spoil the scenery.He had no choice but to move his hand away embarrassingly.

(3)

Even if he didn't say "goodbye" in that phone call, Han Haoxuan would still call Ruo Lin, but the content of each call was very brief, because every time he was about to say the important point, a certain sentence from Ruo Lin could always be stopped He said the next sentence, which made him very disappointed every time.

On this day, Ruo Lin returned home after finishing her work at the hotel, and just turned on her computer to search for information on the characters on the cover of the next issue of the magazine.At this time, Han Haoxuan's call came.

No way?What time is it at night, and you still call?Are you not afraid that I will report to Xinyu if you call me so frequently?After hesitating for a while, Ruolin still answered the phone.

"Let's meet, Ruolin." Han Haoxuan said straight to the point.
