Chapter 65

Ah Lu took the place to go for a business trip earlier. After solving the problem in stages, he took leave. Seeing that he was too tired during this period, Mu Jiyun gave him a paid leave, but Ah Lu deliberately handed over all the tasks in the group to Chu Zhaozhao.

It was a little difficult for her to take over A Lu's job for the first time, but her colleagues in the company were willing to help. Chu Zhaozhao was so busy that she was not stuck in the ground every day that she was very happy.

For a moment, Mu Jiyun felt that Ah Lu was taking revenge on him in disguise.

After working one day on Saturday, Chu Zhaozhao felt that her whole body was about to fall apart and her waist could not be straightened.

When Mu Jiyun came out of the office, he saw this scene: Chu Zhaozhao spread on a chair like a paralysis, rubbing his shoulders and his thighs, and the midnight snack on the table did not even open the packaging.

Mu Jiyun walked over and knocked on her desk, "Let's go, get off work."

Chu Zhaozhao straightened up and lay down again, resting his pointed chin on the table, staring at Mu Jiyun with his heavy eyelids.

"What's wrong?" Mu Jiyun asked.

Chu Zhaozhao suddenly stood up and stretched, "It's nothing, let's go."

The Development Department will always leave the last time, and Chu Zhaozhao is the last time to get off work in the Development Department. When she and Mu Jiyun left, the entire corridor was so empty that they could hear their footsteps.

After entering the elevator, Chu Zhaozhao held Mu Jiyun's arms and murmured: "I'm so exhausted..."

Mu Jiyun suddenly walked to Chu Zhaozhao and squatted down.

"Then I will barely carry you for a while."

If he didn't say this, Chu Zhaozhao might have refused, but when she heard Mu Jiyun say this, she couldn't help but hammer him and then lay on his back.

The air in the elevator was heavy and stuffy. Chu Zhaozhao buried his head on Mu Jiyun's shoulders, feeling that the familiar breath was everywhere on him.

After the elevator door slowly opened, Mu Jiyun walked towards the parking space far away with her back.

Seeing that his neck was bare, Chu Zhaozhao loosened his scarf and wrapped it around his neck, and said in his ear: "Teacher Mu, when I am thirty, you will be almost forty. When I am forty, you will be fifty. When you can't walk anymore, I will not carry you."

Mu Jiyun didn't say anything. Chu Zhaozhao thought he was bored and fell silent, so he yawned and leaned against his shoulder and closed his eyes.

When we were about to reach the parking space, Mu Jiyun said: "No, I will take you after we are old and retired..."

Chu Zhaozhao said half asleep and half awake: "What are you taking me?"

Mu Jiyun slowly laughed, "Take you to dance, go to drink, and feel the indulgent youth."

Chu Zhaozhao said "Oh" very perfunctorily, "The most shining old couple in the nightclub."

"Yes." Mu Jiyun said, "That's right."

After getting in the car, Chu Zhaozhao sighed when he was wearing his seat belt, "I thought you would just say, when we are old and retired, I will take me to see the world. Isn't it all performed in TV series like this?"

Mu Jiyun stopped his movements and turned to look at Chu Zhaozhao, "Why do you want to go when you are old?"

His eyes and tone were quite serious, and Chu Zhaozhao couldn't help but become serious, "Because now... I'm busy."

"Are you not going to go busy?" Mu Jiyun asked again.

"Oh..." Chu Zhaozhao said, "Where is there time?"

Mu Jiyun touched her hair, "You take a short look, I'll call you when you get home."

On the way, Chu Zhaozhao was woken up by something. She thought it was Mu Jiyun calling her, but when she opened her eyes, she saw that she was still on the road.

The phone was still ringing, and she came back to her senses and quickly picked it up and saw it. It was an unfamiliar number and the place belonged to the local area.

Chu Zhaozhao said in scatteredly: "It's so late, who..."

Mu Jiyun turned his head and looked at him, "My mother."

"Ah!" Chu Zhaozhao subconsciously threw away his phone and landed it on his legs. After a few seconds, he picked it up and pressed the answering keyboard.

"Hey, aunt?"

Qi Hong's voice is naturally cold, and she deliberately softens her voice at this time, which only makes people feel stiff, "Have you...re rested?"

Chu Zhaozhao glanced at Mu Jiyun. He drove the car seriously, and his attention seemed to be completely on her.

Chu Zhaozhao said, "Not yet, I just got off work."

Qi Hong murmured in a low voice: "Why are you still working on the weekend?"

Chu Zhaozhao didn't know what to say, and there was no response for a moment, and the silence gap between the two was infinitely magnified.

Later, Qi Hong broke the silence first, "You ask Ji Yun if he has time tomorrow, come back for dinner."

"Teacher Mu." Chu Zhaozhao said to Mu Jiyun, "Auntie asked you if you have time tomorrow and asked you to go back for dinner tomorrow."

Mu Jiyun curled his lips and smiled, but did not say anything.

"What do you want to ask you?" Chu Zhaozhao said, "Is there any time tomorrow?"

When he encountered a traffic light, Mu Jiyun freed up one hand to touch Chu Zhaozhao's hair, "Yes, yes, that's really stupid."

Chu Zhaozhao ignored him and said to Qi Hong: "Auntie, he said he is free."

"Oh... OK." Qi Hong paused for a while, "Then you can rest early."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Zhaozhao lost sleepiness. She flipped through her cell phone and said, "Then I'll do a big cleaning tomorrow."

"You are really..." Mu Jiyun said helplessly, "How come the mathematical logic is so clear that you will be stupid when you encounter such a thing."

Turning into the underground parking lot, Mu Jiyun reversed into the parking space and said, "I've called you, are you doing a big cleaning?"

"Ah?" Chu Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, "Will we go together tomorrow?"

"Otherwise?" Mu Jiyun said, "I didn't shut down or shut down, why call you?"

Chu Zhaozhao half opened her mouth, frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "I would be fine if Auntie was half straightforward."

Mu Jiyun: "...Why did this touch me again?"

Chu Zhaozhao opened the car door, got out of the car and walked towards the elevator, "It's nothing, I'll just say it casually."

The next day, Chu Zhaozhao woke up at ten o'clock. She found that the bed was empty, so she sat up in shock and shouted: "Teacher Mu!"

Mu Jiyun ran in from outside, "What's wrong?"

When Chu Zhaozhao saw Mu Jiyun still there, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you left alone."

Mu Jiyun sat down beside the bed, "Are you still sleeping?"

Chu Zhaozhao shook his head, "I won't sleep anymore."

"Get up." Mu Jiyun leaned over and hugged her, "We should go out if we eat something."

This time, they went to Qi Qingshu's house.

The ones who came were Qi Hong and Mu Jize, as well as his wife and children, but Qi Qingshu's family was relatively simple, unlike Qi Hong's family, which had an inexplicable sense of depression.

When Chu Zhaozhao and Mu Jiyun arrived, they did not see Chu Mingming and Qi Qingshu.

I heard from Mu Jize that they were in the yard.

Chu Zhaozhao and Mu Jiyun walked towards the yard. Through the door, they saw Chu Mingming standing under the tree, stepping on the fallen leaves all over the ground, with a lot of paint on his feet, holding a palette in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, and in front of him was an oil painting with most of the time.

Qi Qingshu stood beside her, saying something in a whisper, pointing at the painting in front of her.

Chu Zhaozhao and Mu Jiyun couldn't hear Qi Qingshu's voice clearly, and only saw Chu Mingming nodding for a while, shook his head for a while, and occasionally added two strokes to the painting.

They stood behind for a long time before Chu Mingming discovered them. She turned around and saw the two of them, and immediately curled their eyes.

"elder sister!"

Chu Zhaozhao and Mu Jiyun walked over, while Qi Qingshu sat slowly on the rocking chair beside him.

“Where are you painting?”

Chu Mingming nodded, "Is it good-looking?"

"It looks good." Chu Zhaozhao said, "It's getting better and better."

"You can't praise it so blindly." Qi Qingshu suddenly said, "Although she is a little talented, she has not received orthodox teaching. She has a very wild path and has to make it happen."

Chu Mingming curled his lips and turned around and continued to stare at her painting.

"It's not bad," said Mu Jiyun, "it's much better than what I've drawn."

"You still have the face to say it!" Qi Qingshu said, "I just said that this wild path looks like someone, and I look like you!"

Mu Jiyun: "...How come this can also be related to me?"

Qi Qingshu glared at him and stopped talking.

After a while, Qi Hong appeared behind them. She leaned against the threshold and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "It's time to eat."

At the dinner table, Qi Hong seemed to be deliberately talking, but Mu Jize was very busy and always went to answer the phone. Qi Qingshu was very particular about eating and sleeping, so Qi Hong could only talk about it one after another.

After many times, she was too lazy to talk.

Seeing this, Chu Mingming took the initiative to pick up food for Qi Hong. Qi Hong's eyes were full of surprises. He was about to speak, but he saw Chu Mingming turn to pick up food for Chu Zhaozhao.

At this time, Chu Zhaozhao's phone also rang.

She looked down and saw that it was a call from home. Chu Zhaozhao cut it off quietly and sent a message: "I'm having a meal, wait for the call to come back later."

So, after dinner, she hurried to the balcony.
