“Are you going to the meeting?” Mu Wan stared at several figures in white coats. They were still discussing something, and several male doctors turned their heads to look at her vaguely, with surprise and amazement in their eyes.
“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu still carried the surgery report in his hand.
“Then you go.” Mu Wan laughed, pointed to the office, and said, “I’ll wait for you.”
“Okay.” Liu Qianxiu replied and walked toward the group of doctors just now. But before he turned around, he went back to his office.
Mu Wan thought he had forgotten something and went back in together with her. Liu Qianxiu took something out of the drawer under his desk. Before Mu Wan could see it, he had already handed it to her.
A box of strawberry milk.
“It may be late. You can drink this first when you are hungry.” Liu Qianxiu said.
The pink packaging box and his cold temperament don’t match. He probably wouldn’t buy this by himself. Mu Wan initially felt sweet and sour when remembering Xiao Yun, who had just seen at the door.
“Where does this come from?” Mu Wan looked up at him, but she did not pick up the box.
With milk in his hand, Liu Qianxiu’s dark eyes were quiet and patient, and his voice was low when he spoke.
“I bought it.”
The sour feeling disappeared. Mu Wan opened her lips slightly, her sights drawn back, and the roots of her ears were a little hot. She took the milk, removed the straw, and put it in: “You like this taste, so I like it too.”
In the transparent straw, the pink milky liquid flows. She drank it slightly, and it suited her taste perfectly. Her eyes are full of joy and happy light.
His eyelashes moved slightly. Liu Qianxiu did not linger, so he walked out and left his office.
Liu Qianxiu’s meeting time was indeed a bit long. After Mu Wan finished drinking milk, she played two games with her mobile phone. The supporting actors in the photography base have always posted news. Recently, IP adaptations have become very popular, and this drama has attracted one by one.
Even if there are many actors, it can guarantee that there will be performances every week.
She can take time off this week. However, she will find Mu Qing if she is still cut off next week. It was a joke to say that Lin Wei was raising her. She came from an academic class and could only be an actor, so she couldn’t stop doing her work because of Mu Qing’s tricks.
It just so happened that the anniversary of her mother’s death was approaching.
Thinking of her mother’s death anniversary, Mu Wan looked out the window. The sun is still high at six o’clock on a summer evening but not as blazing as noon. Mu Wan looked at the dazzling sunlight and pursed her lips.
The tenth anniversary of her mother’s death is also the tenth anniversary of her becoming fatherless and motherless.
Liu Qianxiu stood at the door, looking at the woman in the sunshine, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. When Mu Wan put away the gloom in her expression, lowered her head, and played the game again, Liu Qianxiu opened the door and walked in.
Mu Wan turned her head, her eyes jumped, put her mobile phone on the table, and looked at him, “Is it finished?”
“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu entered the door, put the documents in his hand, and then removed the white coat on his body. Liu Qianxiu is tall and has long legs. His clothes were tailored to fit, standing there indifferently, more dazzling than the setting sun.
Mu Wan unconsciously lost her mind, and when Liu Qianxiu approached her, she returned to her senses.
She got up from her seat. Liu Qianxiu looked at her and said, “I must send the cat to my friend first. I will have surgery tomorrow, so I won’t have time to go there.”
“Is that the friend from the last time?” Mu Wan remembered Xu Xingkong, the woman with a gentle temperament and the scent of lavender.
“Hmm.”
“Do you still have strawberry milk?” Mu Wan asked.
Liu Qianxiu did not answer but went directly to his desk drawer, took a box, handed it to Mu Wan, and said, “You can’t drink too much on an empty stomach.”
After shaking the pink box, the sweet and fragrant liquid collided with the box. Mu Wan laughed, saying, “I didn’t drink it for myself.”
She wanted to give Xu Xingkong because she gave her a sweet plum last time.
They went to Liu Qianxiu’s house first to pick up the cats. The cats were used to riding in the car. The three little ones and Zhou Yi were very stable in the cat cage, but only Datou kept crying all the time.
When they arrived in the southern district, the road was wide open, and the car quickly sprinted onto the coastal highway. The setting sun stained the sea-level line with a layer of golden light. The car window opened a little, and a sea breeze broke into it. It was salty, wet, and cold, dispelling the hot and dry summer.
No wonder everyone buys a seaside house. In addition to the fresh air, the shore scenery is also beautiful every evening. The sea horizon swallowed half of the setting sun, the sea surface was rippling with golden light, and the waves were layered layer by layer, like the flowers that had just bloomed.
Mu Wan sat in the passenger seat and looked across the sea horizon through Liu Qianxiu. The setting sun was golden, as was the side of Liu Qianxiu’s face. He has a smooth forehead, high eyebrows, a straight nose, and thin lips that are slightly pursed.
From her perspective, the outline of his face was like a beautiful paper cut, pasted on the sky full of sunset clouds, a little untouchable and holy.
“Would you like to see it?” The setting sun scenery is so beautiful today. Liu Qianxiu felt that her gaze had been falling out of the window, so he raised his eyes and asked faintly.
When Liu Qianxiu said this, Mu Wan was moved. Even if they pass now, they can only see the end of the setting sun. The sun would have disappeared long ago if they had finished sending the cats.
“Okay.” Mu Wan agreed with a smile.
Liu Qianxiu parked his car in the open space beside the coastline. It was not his first time coming here, so he knew where the parking lot was. After stopping the car, the two got off and walked towards the beach.
Mu Qing didn’t like the sea much. She grew up in Xiacheng, so her mother also took her to the beach as a child. Her school organized activities, and it was not uncommon for them to go to the seaside.
But she had never seen a sea like this now. The setting sun entered the sea, and the waves burst into the sea, glowing with red and golden light. The sea breeze blew her skirt corners when she stepped barefoot on the beach. The sea was rolling in, cold and gentle, and the sand leaked from the toes.
Mu Wan’s mood in the morning was not good, but after meeting Liu Qianxiu in the afternoon, she improved. It was because he agreed that she could go to a Taoist temple. After all, he gave her strawberry milk, or because he took her to the beach to watch the setting sun now.
She can be elated by whatever he does to her, and he gives her happiness.
Liu Qianxiu walked in front of her. He was tall and slender. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched his shadow and fell on her. Mu Wan looked up at him as if looking at a deity beyond her reach.
Mu Wan and Liu Qianxiu looked at the horizon quietly. The two exited the car and stopped communicating until the setting sun was completely gone and the air was cold. Liu Qianxiu stood still, looked back at her, and said, “Let’s go.”
“You are first.” Mu Wan agreed. After that, she stepped back and stepped into the sea. The sea rolled up and engulfed her ankles, which made her feel good.
The glowing Mu Wan added a thick filter, and her facial features were much brighter than usual. She stood there quietly, looking up at him and smiling. Her eyes were still glistening with darkness, even with her back to the sky.
The sea breeze rises suddenly. It is refreshing, cool, and gentle.
Liu Qianxiu walked forward, stepping on the beach and making a soft sound. However, there was nothing else but the sound of him walking on the beach. When he slowed down to look back, there was the sound of Mu Wan trotting over from behind.
The sand’s sharpening sound was much smoother when stepping onto the beach with bare feet.
“Liu Qianxiu!” She ran behind, called, poked him in the back, and said, “Don’t look back.”
Liu Qianxiu stood still and didn’t look back.
He was slender yet ... tall and big. Mu Wan stood behind him and could smell the salty sea breeze and the faint smell of disinfectant on Liu Qianxiu’s body.
“I have a secret.” Mu Wan’s heart beats with the waves, one after another.
“What?” Liu Qianxiu asked.
Mu Wan laughed in embarrassment. She looked at Liu Qianxiu’s back, her red lips opened and closed.
Her voice is so soft. The wind was blowing, so Liu Qianxiu couldn’t hear her, and Mu Wan just lip-synching.
“I’m like you secretly.”
Liu Qianxiu turned his head.
The author has something to say:Liu Daochang: Me too.
The links on NU are messed up - the link for part 2 goes to part 1, and the link for part 1 goes to part 2 ^^;;;
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapters and stay safe!
[I'm like you secretly] should be [I secretly like you] or [I'm liking you secretly].
ReplyDeleteIt's part of the main genre (romance) of the book. So, I'm sorry. But, my OCD can't ignore the grammatical fault. 😅
