"Hello, are you Miss Mu Ning?"
"Well, I am."
"I am the customer service manager of XX brand. Last time you won the luxury trip for two to country X at our store's anniversary event. Remember, I am calling you to confirm the travel time."
"Oh well."
Mu Ning chose to travel on December 30th and return on January 6th, just in time for the New Year's Eve.
In a few days, she had to call Lu Xinting and ask her to prepare to pack her things.
"Hey, our vacation trip is finally here."
"Yeah, shouldn't you be very excited? Why does your voice sound weak?"
Lu Xinting sighed, "My energy has been exhausted. If you saw me now, you would probably think that I have overindulged and am dying."
"Are you just overindulging?"
"...What are you talking about? I'm in trouble."
"Ah, then you have to be careful and be careful of infection."
"Watch your size. No matter how seductive I am, I still have principles and bottom lines. I won't do anything that harms your body!"
"Then why do you look so angry that you are dying?"
Lu Xinting sighed, "It's hard to explain, I feel like I'm in trouble."
"Trouble? Are you talking about Song Heng?"
"Who else but him?"
"No way..." Mu Ning thought for a while, "Speaking of which, when did you and Song Heng get involved? I never see you two flirting with each other, so why are you secretly cheating on Chen Cang? It really hurts my heart, Xinting, this matter Even Gu Zhiyin knows about it, but I am still in the dark... I didn't expect you to hide it from me. After all, I made the wrong payment."
"Bah, bah, bah, what a mess." Lu Xinting retorted righteously.
Mu Ning's heart suddenly became full of gossip, "Then tell me, after hiding it from me for so long, is it time to explain it properly?"
"I met him by chance. I met him several times before. I had no interest in him and didn't call him. Later, I didn't know what was going on. Naturally, there was a lot of friction, and then... the gun went off. ”
After listening to this, Mu Ning had a blank look on his face, "Listening to your words is like listening to your words. What you said is as if you didn't say it."
She pretended to sigh, "There really is a man, but the relationship has faded. Hey, please unpin him from the top of your friends list from now on. If it's nothing important, don't contact him."
"No, that's it. I didn't want to hide it from you at all. Look at the pretty boy I'm playing with, and you don't know? There's nothing to hide about it."
This is true, Mu Ning knows all about Lu Xinting's little boyfriends.
"Ning Ning, it's not that I didn't tell you, it's just that I can't understand it."
"Okay, since you don't know how to speak, let me ask and you answer honestly."
"Yeah, you ask."
Mu Ning smiled mischievously, "That time when we played in the escape room, we went to Yunshang Restaurant to have dinner, and Song Heng sent you home. What did you two do?"
"Did nothing."
"Really?" Mu Ning obviously didn't believe it.
"Well, I drank too much, so I couldn't hold it back and kissed him..."
"What? Did it happen that day??"
"No!" Lu Xinting said quickly, "He didn't let me succeed. I knew at that time that he wasn't interested in me either."
"and after?"
"Then one time you came to the bar to look for me, and it was he who sent you here... Oh, I remembered, it was the night when you and Gu Zhiyin had your first encounter. He got out of the car and stuffed a pill into my mouth. Liquor and medicine told me to drink less. I was confused at the time, but later I figured it out. He was probably worried about you for Gu Zhiyin, and took care of me by the way. "
Mu Ning wanted to say that Song Heng's cold personality was like an obedient machine. It was impossible for him to meddle in other people's business. He clearly just cared, okay?
Before Mu Ning could speak, Lu Xinting began to ramble on to herself.
"Later, I went to rescue Yang Fan for you, and I met him on the way. He saved me...well, in fact, he followed Gu Zhiyin's order and deliberately blocked me there."
"But that was the first time I watched him fight against so many people. To be honest, he was a bit handsome to me. Maybe that's when I started to pay attention to him."
"I thought I owed him a favor, so I said I wanted to treat him to dinner. Unexpectedly, he left a number on my hand, and that's how we started calling each other."
"The tacit understanding is that neither of us has ever beaten the other. I contacted him just to save you."
"Save me?" Mu Ning was surprised.
"Aren't you imprisoned by Gu Zhiyin... Well, we'll talk about your business later."
"Well, it's okay, just keep talking."
"In order to grab the gem for you, he was shot and recuperating at home. It was inconvenient for him to come out, so I went to his house to find him. The result was that he was dead. He just came out after taking a shower and he had no fucking clothes on!"
"That guy's figure is so good, it's beyond my imagination! I dare say he has the most perfect proportions I've ever seen..."
Mu Ning interrupted her, "Stop being obscene, okay? Let's get down to business."
"Oh, I know he won't take me to find you. I seduced him."
"The seduction was successful?"
"Of course, otherwise how would I find you in the hospital later?"
"No way, how could Song Heng betray Gu Zhiyin for the sake of women?"
"I didn't know. It just means that I'm very skilled. I can even make a strong Bodhisattva unable to move his legs."
Mu Ning didn't think so.
"But I was also quite touched. Gu Zhiyin went crazy when he found out that I let you go. In order to protect me, he beat me with injuries on his body."
After that, Mu Ning could guess it without Lu Xinting having to tell her.
"So after two visits, you fell in love?"
"Like it?" Lu Xinting said solemnly, "Well... I don't seem to have considered this issue."
Mu Ning held his forehead and said, "Lu scumbag, when will you be able to calm down? Who is Song Heng? He is different from those boys. If you don't like him, don't mess with him, otherwise you will suffer."
"Don't I just feel like I've lost my temper and come to you to tell you?"
"Then what do you think?"
"I have never talked about someone so many years older than me being so fucking innocent. I just think it's fun to tease him. It brings me more stimulation than those glib boys. But Ning Ning, he is so real, completely Don’t hide it, even the feelings...you know, I feel pressure when facing him."
He is completely different from Gu Zhiyin. Gu Zhiyin is sinister and cunning. What he says on his lips does not mean what he thinks in his heart. He is aloof and above the state of mind of most people, making people unpredictable. When dealing with such a person, you always have to be wary.
As for Song Heng, he thought he was pretending to be expressionless all day long, but in fact, Lu Xinting knew exactly what he was thinking.
Serious and sincere, not even telling a lie.
"I know you are stressed. You are afraid that one day you will get tired of it and want to find new excitement. You will not be able to get out for fear of hurting him."
"Well, since that incident, I don't want to be in a relationship for a long time. If he just wants to have fun, I will be happy to accompany him, but if he wants to be serious with me... Ning Ning, he is a very good person, and Gu Zhiyin As a subordinate, I don’t want to cause too much trouble in the end.”
"So what's your situation now?"
"He asked me to stay with him all afternoon and sent me back in the evening."
Before leaving, he said he wanted her to think it over, but he forced her to kiss her in the car and almost tore her skirt.
Faced with this situation, Mu Ning didn't know what to do, "Tingting, you also know that every time you were wondering whether to break up in the past, I advised you to break up, but this time, I can't I suggest you, because I don’t want you to keep playing in the world like this. I hope you can stabilize and have a good relationship. As for whether you want to talk to him or not, it depends on you."
Emotionally, Mu Ning is not as experienced as Lu Xinting. She has experienced a man like Gu Zhiyin. Every time Lu Xinting complains about emotional matters to her, she can only act as an emotional trash can.
And their attitudes towards relationships are completely opposite.
However, it's not Lu Xinting's fault. After all, she was hurt by the person she loved most.
"Okay, let me think about it again." Lu Xinting asked her, "What about you, you made up with Gu Zhiyin obviously, but you lied to me and said you didn't make up."
When the question came to Mu Ning, she felt a little guilty, "I really don't..."
"I saw you bit him on his neck, and you were still sitting on his lap at noon!"
Mu Ning was silent for a moment, "Xinting, he apologized to me..."
"Tsk, is he still going to apologize? I don't think a proud person like him would bow his head and apologize to others, but are you sure he is serious? Don't let him fool you again."
"I think it seems to be true. Gu Zhiyin is rarely in that state and says such things to me. I still understand him."
"Then do you want to forgive him?"
"I don't know, I just don't hate him that much, and I don't reject his approach."
"Yes, I just feel soft-hearted."
"Then if I forgive him, will you think I'm stupid?"
"It's quite stupid. He has done so many disgusting things to you, lied to you all the time, and controlled all kinds of mental and physical things... It's quite scary to be with such a person, isn't it? It seems that no one can forgive him. "
Mu Ning lay on the bed and lowered his head.
"However, others are others, feelings are your own, and no one is you. I have not experienced what you have experienced, so it is wrong to judge from an objective perspective.
Think about it, you and Gu Zhiyin still have twelve years left, and his patience, tolerance, and love for you for so many years are not fake. Who can do what he does?
Ningning, emotionally, no matter what choice you make, there is no right or wrong, so don't care too much about other people's opinions. "
Mu Ning said "hmm" and said, "I'll think about it again."
"You don't have to worry too much, just let nature take its course."
The two little women talked on the phone until very late, but Mu Ning had to hang up because her cell phone said it was out of battery.
She picked up her phone and looked at it. Except for the 10% battery, she found a series of familiar numbers and called her several times.
Mu Ning pursed her lips and dialed back.
The call was answered immediately.
Before Mu Ning could speak, he came over with a cold sentence.
"Who are you talking to on the phone?"
"what?"
"I'm asking you who you're calling, don't you want to tell me?"
Feeling the dangerous aura approaching, Mu Ning raised his eyebrows, "It's none of your business who I call. Do you even want to check my call records?"
"You promised that you would answer my calls and reply to my messages. What time is it? I have to catch the earliest flight to Jiangcheng tomorrow. Are you going to let me sleep tonight?"
Mu Ning found it funny, "Since I know there is something important tomorrow, what does it have to do with me if you sleep in your bed?"
"Do you think I can sleep like this?" He said in a gloomy tone.
The messages were not returned and the phone was busy, which almost drove him crazy.
Even through the phone, Mu Ning could feel his resentment.
It was as if if she didn't answer honestly, he would get in front of her and question her.
Mu Ning stopped teasing him, "I'm chatting with Lu Xinting."
"Talk for so long?" He was dissatisfied.
"Yeah, I was rambling here and there, and I forgot about the time. What can I do for you?"
"without……"
"Then why are you calling me so many times?"
"..."
There was a pause there for a long while.
His tone suddenly softened.
"I want to hear your voice."
The man stood outside the room door, holding his cell phone, but did not knock on the door.
He was still wearing the bathrobe and slippers from home, and he was obviously walking in a hurry.
