Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen I'm Willing to Wait

Xie Nan sat in the co-driver's seat, Yu Mucheng took the key, sat on the driver's seat and adjusted the seat backwards, put on the seat belt and started the car.The two of them didn't speak a word along the way, when he encountered a red light, he turned his head to see that Xie Nan's pale face was a little flushed, with a tired expression, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.Although the manual transmission was not smooth, Yu Mucheng drove much faster than usual. This time Xie Nan followed him upstairs without any resistance.She sat on the sofa, and Yu Mucheng put a key and an access card in front of her, and looked at her idly, as if he would answer no matter what she said.Xie Nanming knew that he couldn't beat him, but he still hesitated, and his eyes scanned around.

Yu Mucheng's living room is a hollow design, the space is high and spacious, it can be seen that the decoration was very thoughtful, but in Xie Nan's opinion, it was a bit too elaborate.Seeing that Xie Nan was looking at the intricately patterned stair railings, Yu Mucheng said, "This is not my taste." "You hand over all the renovations to others, and you don't care about it at all?" Xie Nan was eager to have a separate topic to talk about, and at the same time, he was really surprised that the bedroom he slept in yesterday was too charming, and felt that he didn't match Yu Mucheng at all. It is a little strange for a single man to do this kind of decoration in advance.

"I bought a second-hand house. It was installed by the previous owner. I only changed the furniture, curtains, etc., and tidied up the bedroom and study upstairs. You see, you sleep in the master bedroom downstairs, so feminine decoration, I’m too lazy to change it. The last time Lao Qin came over, I originally asked him to sleep there. He ran out as soon as he entered that room, saying that he might have a dream if he slept there.” Xie Nan couldn't help laughing. Yu Mucheng got up and poured a glass of water for her, "Drink the medicine." Xie Nan drank the medicine, put down the water glass, and inevitably saw the key and the access control card on the tea table again, his eyes dodged for a while, the tangled look made Yu Mucheng not want to tease her anymore, he sat down beside her, Gently put her arms around her shoulders: "This is not asking you to live with me, you can live anywhere you like. I agreed at the beginning, let's take our time. I don't ask you to give me the keys to your house in return , you can rest assured."

Xie Nan lowered her eyes, Yu Mucheng could only see her profile, her eyelashes trembled slightly, her teeth bit her lips, and she remained silent for a long time. He was helpless and was about to speak, but Xie Nan looked back at him and smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, I've always been a bit awkward. Bingbing scolded me many times, and it didn't seem to wake me up." She picked up the Putting the card and key into the bag, she moved neatly. Noticing Yu Mucheng's expression, she said, "Don't be surprised, I still have advantages, but I can figure it out quickly after being awkward."

"I noticed it, and I was pleasantly surprised." Yu Mucheng replied solemnly, "Now let's discuss the arrangements for the Spring Festival." "Uh, I've already made arrangements, so I'll go home." On New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow, Xie Nan's company will be on holiday for only half a day. She has already planned to drive back to catch the family reunion dinner, and now she is very vigilant, deeply afraid of Mu Cheng What new tricks are they coming up with? "I want to go home too." The two were "exchanging information" before, Yu Mucheng knew that Xie Nan's family was in a city in this province, and Xie Nan also knew that Yu Mucheng's ancestral home was in Shandong, and his family now lives in Hangzhou, "But I plan to go to Hainan for a few days in the second day of junior high school, let's go together, I will ask the secretary to book a ticket for you."

The local winter is cold and long. When it comes to the sunshine and beaches in Hainan, Xie Nan is very tempting, but she dare not agree.Leaving aside her uncertainty about Mu Cheng, if her mother knew that she had made a boyfriend so quickly and wanted to go out together, she would probably go crazy: "I can't go, you have fun." "If you don't go, how can I be happy? Go, just stay for three days, just the two of us." Of course Xie Nan knew what it meant to go. She was not conservative, but she felt that she had gone too fast, and now she needed time to think about it: "No, there are a lot of things at home."

Yu Mucheng didn't force her either: "Okay, I'm going to have a New Year's dinner with the staff tomorrow, and I might come back later, you can arrange yourself." Xie Nan nodded. For the first time, she felt that getting along with Yu Mucheng was good.He obviously has plans for everything, but he is not stubborn, and he is good at communicating. Maybe a boyfriend who flies in like this is really not bad. "I'm going to take a shower first." "Okay, I still have documents to look at. You go to bed early." Xie Nan took a shower, learned the lesson, and quickly washed the underwear she had replaced, but it was a bit difficult to take it out. It seemed that she was a bit outside her rules to openly hang the bra and underwear in a man's house.She consciously walked up to the north balcony and found that the balcony was deep and perfect for drying underwear.The underwear she changed the day before was hanging on the drying rack with Yu Mucheng's clothes, swinging in the wind, she hurriedly put away the dry clothes and hung up the freshly washed ones, while looking around, the neighborhood was cold and quiet, a lamp A street light was dimly on, and occasionally a car drove into the parking space. She thought that no one would notice that this was a man's home, and women's underwear was suddenly hung out.

This thought made her a little funny, a chill came through her body, she hurried back to the living room, sat on the sofa, folded the clothes neatly and put them on the sofa, picked up the leather bag on the coffee table, took out the phone and turned it off, I was about to go to bed, but I saw two access cards and two door keys in the front compartment of the bag, with almost the same specifications and appearance. She was a little startled, as if she suddenly realized that she had gotten involved with another man's house in such a short period of time. In the early spring seven years ago, the chill was as cold as expected. Xiang Xinyang took Xie Nan to a real estate near the lake that was under construction in the suburbs. She was at a loss: "It's so noisy, what's there to see, and it's so cold."

Xiang Xinyang said excitedly: "Part of this building was constructed by my family's construction company. I fell in love with it at a glance. The environment and planning are really good." He showed her the floor plan: "Look, I like it best. This house type is good, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, transparent and sunny, with clear functional divisions and a large yard." Xie Nan was still puzzled: "Do you want to buy a house?" "Yes, I want to buy it. I have always liked a house with a yard and a garden, but unfortunately I can't afford a villa now." Xiang Xinyang pointed to the floor plan and said, "Nannan, we will also raise a dog in the future. Put a dog house in the corner."

"No, I'm afraid of dogs." "Hey, if you don't bite it, it won't bite you." "Xiang Xinyang, you want to die." Xie Nan said angrily. Xiang Xinyang smiled and said nothing, he had already paid the down payment without discussing with his family.He comes from a good family, but his parents relied on years of hard work to make their way in the highly competitive construction market. Even after they became rich, they were still very frugal. There is only so much money at your disposal. The staff in the sales department brought the official sales contract, Xiang Xinyang dragged Xie Nan to sign it, and she realized it and waved her hands again and again.She stood up at once, dragged him to the sales office, and ran all the way to the lake.

"No, I have no money. My parents' income is not high, and it is impossible to ask the family for money. If you want to buy it, just write your own name, not mine." Xiang Xinyang held her hand tightly: "We will definitely get married in the future, right?" She blushed: "But I'm still in my junior year, it's too early to look at the house now." "I'll wait for you to graduate. Then we'll get married and live here together." Xiang Xinyang pointed to the newly repaired landscape road along the lake, "When the time comes, shall we raise a border collie? This dog is very smart. Well trained is equivalent to the intelligence of a five-year-old child, and can take care of the house. We can take a walk by this lake in the future. I will hold you with one hand and the dog with the other." "Hmph, I don't want you to hold me." "I was wrong, Nannan, don't be angry, I won't lead the dog anymore, just you, okay, don't be jealous with the poor dog." Xie Nan still hesitated: "It's so expensive." "Our company is the construction party, and the internal subscription price I got is very cost-effective, and the monthly loan repayment is not a problem for my salary." She bit her lip and said nothing, Xiang Xinyang was about to continue persuading her, when she suddenly said: "I will graduate next year, I must find a job to earn money, and I will pay off the mortgage with you." Xiang Xinyang was elated and punched the empty lake.The two returned to the sales department and signed the contract together. Xiang Xinyang will be very diligent in running the construction site in the future, and will bring Xie Nan here when he has time. She will soon become as interested in this place as he is. The two will have serious discussions in their free time. "Can you put wallpaper in the bedroom? I like the country-style pattern. It looks sweet and has a homely atmosphere." "Okay, as long as you like." "It would be great if there was a fireplace in the living room. Watching "Growing Pains", the Jason family is so warm sitting around the fireplace." "It is said that there is an electronic fireplace, which is actually a heater. When you turn on the switch, there will be a simulated flame. It should be good." ... "The room with bathroom and bay window here can be used as our master bedroom, this room facing south can be used as a study, and your piano can be placed here." "I want to plant a plum tree in that corner of the yard, and plant honeysuckle here. The honeysuckle in the yard of our hometown is blooming very fragrantly." "It's all up to you. It's better to plant some more roses, so that you don't have to go out to buy them on Valentine's Day in the future. Maybe you can sell flowers to make a little money." "You lost money, Xiang Xinyang." "What's so good about money eyes? I just want to fall into your heart and stay in it for the rest of my life." This memory came to my mind at an untimely time, Xie Nan only felt that his mouth was full of bitterness, as if he took medicine when he was a child, but he couldn't swallow it smoothly, the sugar coating melted away, no matter how much water he drank, he still felt the bitter taste on his tongue. Yu Mucheng came downstairs to pick up the briefcase, a little surprised, came over and sat beside her: "Why haven't you gone to bed yet?" He looked at his neatly folded clothes and smiled, "There's no need for these Do it, be careful to catch a cold when you go out." That's what he said, but seeing her doing these things, he felt happy and happy, and put his arms around her. She leaned in his arms, his thoughts slowly calmed down, and he whispered, "Don't you need to read the documents?" "I want to be lazy at this time." She let out a "huh", leaned into his arms, and thought: If you think about those things again, and make meaningless comparisons, you will really be so entangled.Like now, what's wrong with leaning in the arms of a man and enjoying the warmth of a winter night. Yu Mucheng still has a lot of documents to read, but he really enjoys the feeling of such a soft body leaning against his arms intimately and relaxedly.She had taken the initiative to hug him twice before, but he could feel that her body was tense.Now she was leaning against him lazily with her head tilted, her jet-black hair brushing his chin, and he could smell the fragrance coming from her hair.Slowly her head sank into his arms again, and he laughed dumbfounded, realizing that she was beginning to doze off.He picked her up and walked into the bedroom. She woke up suddenly, opened her eyes, but only pressed her head closer to his chest, put her arms around his neck, and murmured: "It's over, I'm going to do it later." What if I get used to your care?" "Isn't that just right?" He put her on the bed, sat next to her, and looked into her eyes, "Trust me, get used to me, all you have to do is this." Xie Nan smiled: "Forgive me for being an awkward woman." "I have the patience to wait for you to figure it out." Yu Mucheng's tone was flat and calm, "However, you will lose a lot of joy in life if you are only concerned about gains and losses." Xie Nan lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long time. Yu Mucheng almost thought she was falling asleep. She suddenly opened her eyes and said solemnly, "I will work hard." It was the first time Yu Mucheng heard such a non-flirtatious promise. He stroked her pointed chin and smiled: "Believe me, this process is not as difficult as you imagine." He bowed his head and kissed her lips, "When you are serious, your expression is very childish, you know? I like you like this." Yu Mucheng walked out, Xie Nan looked at his back in a daze, she admitted to herself that it felt so good to have an embrace to lean on, and she unconsciously began to yearn for this feeling. After Xie Nan drove home, while preparing the New Year's dinner, her mother lamented that the daughter of Mr. Song's family who lived in the building in front was married: "Song Fang is only 25 years old, and the groom is a middle school physics teacher. She looks gentle and steady." .Lao Song is really good-looking, he can't close his mouth from laughing these days." Xie Nan sat absent-mindedly on a small stool choosing vegetables, waiting for her mother to turn the topic to herself. Mom served up the fried meatballs, and continued to talk about the parents: "Oh, I don't know what to say when they ask you." Xie Nan looked up at her mother, the fair face that was not old a few years ago was unknowingly slack and dull, and with her thoughts on her face, the nasolabial folds appeared deep.She sighed secretly, and couldn't bear to be silent any longer: "Mom, don't worry about it, I have a boyfriend." Mom turned off the gas stove with a "snap", stared back at her, and after making sure she had heard correctly, she hurriedly called to the living room, "Old Xie, come here." The kitchen was so small that a family of three couldn't move around in it. The overjoyed expressions of her parents also made Xie Nan feel ashamed. She didn't expect that she would be so difficult in the eyes of the two elders.Mom told Dad the good news, and then began to inquire about the details with bright eyes. She had no choice but to show Yu Mucheng's business card in the same way as Gao Rubing. Mother looked at the title of general manager on the business card, but hesitated: "It's not a rich person, it's more reliable to find someone from an ordinary family who can live for a long time." For the first time, my father agreed with my mother: "Yes, that's right, it's a good match." Xie Nan knows where her parents' knots are. She only knows that Yu Mucheng has both parents, a sister, brother-in-law and a nephew, but she has no idea of ​​his family background. They have not "exchanged information" to that point.At this time, she could only nod vaguely, and suddenly remembered that it was best not to let her mother have too much hope for this matter that she was not sure about, so she hurriedly said: "We have only known each other for a long time, but it feels okay, Mom, don't worry about that many." "That's enough, that's enough, Nan Nan has her own sense of proportion, you can stop worrying about it, our daughter, how could no one chase after her." Xie Nan shook his father's hand and laughed, and said cheekily, "That's right, it's because my father understands me." The atmosphere at home became cheerful and relaxed. After eating a sumptuous reunion dinner, the family stayed together to watch the boring Spring Festival Gala, and they actually enjoyed it very much. Even the not-so-funny sketches could make parents laugh heartily.Xie Nan felt that thanks to Yu Mucheng, a wonderful boyfriend, he had a good Spring Festival from the very beginning. At ten o'clock, Xie Nan's powerful biological clock began to make her sleepy.After washing up, she went back to her room and lay down on the bed when her cell phone rang, and it was Yu Mucheng calling. "Isn't it already in bed?" Xie Nan admitted honestly: "Yes, what are you doing?" "Bringing my sister's child to set off firecrackers." Sure enough, there was a dense crackling sound from his side, and a childish voice shouted "Uncle, come and see", he smiled and said, "Come on, come on!" ", and then said to her, "Are you really not going to Hainan with me?" "Don't tempt me, my mother won't let me go." "Why does your mother control you so strictly?" "Well, she always feels that I haven't grown up." "Then what are you going to do these days?" "Eat, drink, have fun, visit relatives, visit friends, play with classmates." The crisp child's voice came from the receiver again: "Uncle, come and help me unpack this pack of firecrackers." Yu Mucheng still said "Come as soon as you come", Xie Nan couldn't help laughing: "Go, let him Set off firecrackers and be safe. I'm going to sleep." Yu Mucheng also smiled: "My brother-in-law is here, it's okay. I heard that you have a lot of holiday arrangements, do you miss me when you are free?" Xie Nan didn't know what to say for a while, Yu Mucheng smiled and said: "Forget it, don't embarrass you, you go to bed early, if you don't have time to think about it during the day, it would be nice to dream about me. Goodbye." Putting down the phone, Xie Nan was completely powerless against her own evil, and she couldn't even say the word "think". In fact, she was thinking about Yu Mucheng. As soon as she was free, she would think about it so much that she felt a little dangerous.It's just that she hasn't acted like a baby to a man for too long, and I'm afraid this function as a woman has degenerated.She lay down in frustration, a little drowsiness suddenly disappeared, picked up the phone, wrote a text message, and sent it immediately without giving herself any time to hesitate: "I miss you very much, Mu Cheng." The mobile phone received several text messages one after another, all of which were stylized New Year's greeting messages that everyone passed around, and she replied one by one sullenly.Then received a call from Gao Rubing, the two chatted, Gao Rubing asked her to remember to bring her a kind of pepper oil from her hometown when she came back, both of them loved this taste very much. "Aren't you going home for Chinese New Year this year, Bingbing?" Gao Rubing over there was silent for a moment: "This is the first time I'm not at home with my parents for the New Year. I think they must feel very lonely." They are all on duty for one day, and the vacation is divided into fragments. It is really not easy to go back.But Xie Nan pushed himself and others, thinking that if he didn't go home on New Year's Eve, his parents would be disappointed.She didn't know how to comfort Ru Bing. "Let's go back together after the vacation." "That's the only way. As a wife and daughter-in-law, I can't help myself in many things. I just called home just now, but my mother wanted to comfort me and tell me not to be willful. Alas, I am really uncomfortable." Both of them were only daughters, they felt the same way, and they were silent at the same time.It was Gao Rubing who forced a smile: "For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, let's not talk about it. When will you come over? There will be a class reunion in the afternoon of the sixth day." Xie Nan is not keen on the class reunion, she only attended it once, but when someone intentionally or unintentionally brought up an old event that she didn't like to recall.Thinking back on her youth and frivolity, she could only smile wryly, but she didn't mind the bit of malice, but she refused to attend in the future, and she didn't want to take the initiative to add topics to others.At this moment, she didn't want to spoil Ru Bing's interest: "Look, I'll try to come back earlier." The two then chatted casually for a few words and hung up the phone.Almost at the same time, a call came in, and it was from Yu Mucheng: "Who are you talking on the phone with? Isn't there a reminder that another call has come in?" "My phone is an antique model, how can it have this function." "It's dangerous, I received too many text messages, I almost missed this one from you, and I'm afraid you'll shut down and go to sleep when the time comes." Her face became hot, and she faltered and said: "If you miss it, you will miss it. It's not an important thing. I really want to sleep, I'm so sleepy." "What can I do? Don't sleep." He said softly, "I miss you too, very much." She buried her head in the pillow, holding the mobile phone and murmured a vague "uh", bursts of firecrackers sounded in her ears, and occasionally there was the whistling sound of fireworks rising into the sky. his home. "I'm not going to Hainan anymore, shall we all come back early?" "Okay." Xie Nan heard that he agreed without thinking. "Good boy." Yu Mucheng obviously didn't expect her to be so straightforward, and was overjoyed, "I'll go and book a ticket back from the second year of junior high school." "No, no matter what, I have to go on the fourth day of junior high school, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my family." "Okay, on the fourth day of junior high school, it's settled. I'll book a ticket for the third day of junior high school. Do you want me to pick you up?" "No, I'm driving myself." After making this decision, Xie Nan felt a little dizzy like weightlessness. She had been away from impulse for a long time, but she didn't regret it. She turned off her phone and soon fell asleep.
