Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Spring Fields

Xie Nan strode along the corridor to the private room reserved by Yu Mucheng. The restaurant was too big, and she went in the wrong direction in a hurry. She walked around half a circle before reaching the door. She suddenly realized that her heart was beating violently, and she didn't know she was rushing all the way Or because of the conversation just now.She was thinking about whether to go to the bathroom to tidy up the instrument first, when the phone rang, she took it out and looked, it was Yu Mucheng: "Why haven't you come yet? Is there a traffic jam?" She had no choice but to push open the door of the private room and walk in, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm late for something, and I've delayed everyone's time, I'm sorry."

Yu Mucheng came up to meet her and introduced his sister Yu Muyun and brother-in-law Wang Jun.Xie Nan suddenly realized that when he called Gao Rubing, he forgot to ask the most crucial question: what should be the best address?Follow Yu Mucheng to call him "sister" or "brother-in-law"?Of course she can't get used to that face at all; called "Mr. Wang", "Mrs. Wang"?It's ridiculously distant.She could only vaguely pass it by, but fortunately, both Mu Yun and Wang Junbo were in their thirties, they were also gentle and polite, and easy to get along with, which made Xie Nan calm down a lot.

Yu Mucheng greeted the waiter to serve the dishes. During the meeting, they talked about the company's situation and the itinerary of his sister and brother-in-law's departure to Canada.Xie Nan didn't have the habit of interjecting, and just listened quietly.However, Yu Muyun didn't know whether he was afraid of neglecting her, or because of his curiosity, he turned to her with a smile and asked, "Miss Xie, I'll call you Nannan. How did you and Ah Cheng know each other?" Xie Nan replied honestly: "Mu Cheng and I are neighbors and live in the same community, so we know each other like that."

Yu Mucheng couldn't help laughing, and Yu Muyun glared at him: "I knew you couldn't tell the truth." She then turned to Xie Nan, "We asked him just now, and he said that you They were acquainted." Xie Nan remembered that marriage meeting, couldn't help feeling embarrassed, and blushed.Yu Mucheng quietly reached out to hold her hand under the table, and said, "Take what Nan Nan says, and what I say doesn't count." He knew that Xie Nan was nervous, so he quickly changed the topic to the company's affairs. When talking about the planning of the second phase of the factory building, several people immediately had a lively discussion.Wang Jun was born as a technician, so he was not very good at management. During the two years he took over his father-in-law, he was at a loss. vigorously.Yu Muyun has always been in charge of the family's finances, and when it comes to the operation of the funds for the second phase of development, he is of course clear and straightforward.

"Chengda has always been a high-quality customer of the bank, and the loan process this time has been smoother than I expected. I think the start of work will be a little earlier than planned." "I think the design institute's plan can be revised and improved a bit. We have already done a very simple and practical phase one. It is better to take into account the future development space of the second phase of the factory building." Xie Nan didn't intervene, but from the topic they were talking about, thinking of what Xu Yan specifically mentioned just now, he felt a little annoyed unconsciously.Of course, she had already experienced Xu Yan's poisonous tongue and the inexplicable dislike towards herself, guessing what she might say in front of Yu Mu Cheng, instinctively tightened her heart.

Yu Mucheng put a bowl of soup in front of her, and seeing that she was not in the right mood, he smiled and said, "Okay, that's the end of the work discussion, let's talk about something else." Yu Muyun turned to her again: "Nan Nan, have you been to Hangzhou?" She has always been busy with work, except for business trips, she seldom goes to other places, she shook her head: "No." "Find a time for Mu Cheng to take you back to play. In fact, this season is the best now. The grass grows and the warblers fly, and the lakes and mountains are all beautiful."

"Then I have to give me a vacation from the old man." Yu Mucheng stepped forward with a smile, and hugged Xie Nan's shoulders. She was quite uncomfortable with this intimacy in front of others. "Now that you're busy, let alone take your girlfriend back to show your parents, you almost don't have time to keep your girlfriend." "Go, it sounds like Dad is oppressing you." Yu Muyun smiled and said angrily, "After the construction of the second phase of the factory building starts, you can relax a bit, and you can also take Nannan to Canada for vacation in the future."

After eating, everyone went out together, Xie Nan breathed a sigh of relief, she thought, it was over.They were all very kind, but she just had something on her mind, her whole body was tense and she couldn't relax, and she really couldn't mobilize her emotions to continue the polite greetings. Yu Mucheng drove his sister and brother-in-law back, Xie Nan said goodbye to them one by one, and drove home first. Of course, she was not going to talk to Yu Mucheng about that matter as Xu Yan asked.She thought that the past had haunted her for seven years, if she was talking about a relationship that had nothing to do with the past, but still couldn't get out of the shadow, and had to beg others to keep her mouth shut, it would be too sad.

As for someone who arranged for Mu Cheng to go on a blind date, since he didn't think it was necessary to inform her, she had the right to decide not to know. Recently, Yu Mucheng came back very late, and they didn't have much time to talk, but even if they talked, she didn't think she would take the initiative to ask about it. She has become somewhat of a pessimistic person, but no matter how pessimistic the forecast, she has to face it by herself. A few days later, Xie Nan was on a routine business trip to reconcile the accounts, and by the way, she went home. Naturally, her mother asked her and her boyfriend if there was any progress and when it would be confirmed: "It's not mom urging you, you will soon turn 29 years old Nan Nan, according to our calculation, it is 30 years old, so we really can't delay any longer."

Facing his mother, Xie Nan felt that he had no confidence, so he could only nod vaguely: "I know, I know." Recently, Yu Mucheng was so busy that she didn't go home until she fell asleep almost every day.They maintain a cohabitation state, and the communication seems to be only a mutual cuddling in the early morning, and they don't even have time to "talk" about love, so how can we talk about progress. Driving on the highway back home, with the windows open a little, the spring breeze was soft, and the face was already not cold, but Xie Nan didn't feel as relaxed as he used to drive alone.

Of course, at the beginning of the two people's relationship, it was agreed that marriage was the premise. She has always been conservative and has never thought of living together with others to pass the loneliness. But after all, she still lived with Yu Mucheng unknowingly. She was still a little confused and surprised when she recalled the process. She admitted that her loneliness was really driven away.But she is hesitant about getting married, and it is even more impossible to urge the marriage. If there is no urging from her parents, she feels that it is not impossible to get along like this. Yu Mucheng is a man she has never been sure of. He seems to have everything in mind, and always treats her awkwardness and hesitation with a little joke, as if everything is under his control. All she has to do is to talk to her Just follow his pace. However, for a long time, she was used to maintaining the balance on the surface, and she did not dare to let herself hand everything over to another man. After returning home, Yu Mucheng still did not return.Xie Nan ate something casually. After taking a shower, she turned on the TV and pulled out her notebook to check the accounts of the accounting agency. The business of Zhang Xin and David Fan's company has been developing very well recently. Xie Nan felt that It should be suggested that the two of them hire a full-time accountant.The accounts of another company made her a little dumbfounded. The cashier was the wife of the boss, and the reimbursement vouchers for business transactions and daily expenses were messy, mixed with many white notes, which made it impossible for her to handle them.She thought, after finishing this month, she should find time to drop this extra money. When Yu Mucheng came home, Xie Nan was a little drowsy, so he went to cook him a bowl of noodles.He seemed to be in good spirits, and while he was eating, he told her: "Liu Jingqun and Xu Man called me during the day and asked me to go outing in a nearby town to see peach blossoms on weekends." "Aren't you busy recently?" "Yes, I'm very busy, but I should put things aside and relax. I have already promised them. Are you okay that day?" Xie Nan was a little absent-minded: "I originally made an appointment to do the accounts, and I can change it for another day. But..." She hesitated, not knowing what to say. "What's the matter? Don't you think it's boring to stay at home? Besides, I don't have time to accompany you recently, and you don't seem to sleep well. You'd better go out and get some fresh air." "Well, Xu Man..." Xie Nan said eagerly, "They don't know we're together." "Just take this opportunity to tell the world." After eating the noodles, Yu Mucheng noticed that Xie Nan was in low spirits, and stroked her hair, "Go to sleep first, I have to finish a document." Xie Nan went back to the bedroom and lay down, but couldn't fall asleep. Recently, her sleeping problem has indeed become more serious. The heavy worries are pressing in her heart, making her toss and turn. Do not follow orders.During the day, she was busy with work, so she could refuse to think about what Xu Yan said, but she still woke up in the early morning for no reason, and the sooner she woke up, the sooner she woke up, so she had to go upstairs in the dark to Xu Mucheng's bedroom.She knew that he had been working hard recently, and she didn't want to disturb him, but she would feel a little calmer just lying beside him. However, such a lack of security, holding on to a man like a life-saving straw, made her feel unacceptable. On Saturday morning, Yu Mucheng drove Xie Nan with him, and when he gathered at the south gate of the community, there was already a long car parked there. Except for Xu Man and Liu Jingqun, those neighbors and netizens whom he had met at their house last time Most are there, plus some new faces. Seeing Xie Nan get off from Yu Mucheng's car, Xu Man whistled lightly, and Liu Jingqun also had a very interested expression on his face.Xie Nan's face flushed immediately, but fortunately, the others were not familiar with Yu Mucheng and her, so no one paid special attention to them. At this time, another royal blue Peugeot 206 drove over. The literary young man who posted a post on the forum looking for someone, Feng Zhongsing, took a girl out of the car, successfully attracting everyone's attention. "Have you found Sister Tulip?" Everyone asked him one after another. Singing in the wind but not smiling, the girl next to her is not tall, pretty, and has a very generous manner. She introduces herself with a smile: "My name is Wu Qianqian, nice to meet you all. I don't live in your community, but I happened to see the wind I was very moved by Zhongge Sing’s post, and I took the initiative to contact him and add him on QQ. If I have a chance, I will buy a second-hand house here, and strive to be a veritable Tulip sister.” Everyone applauded, and even called it a good story.Liu Jingqun poked Yu Mucheng quietly: "We are both too outdated. I didn't expect that unreliable things can have a reliable ending." "Your Xu Man should be proud again. He can say that dreams illuminate reality." Yu Mucheng also whispered. "You don't even need to use singing in the wind as an example. Seeing that you and this Miss Xie are together, Xu Man will definitely say that the fate is beyond words." Yu Mucheng laughed.Liu Jingqun pointed to his car: "Have you changed your car?" He drove a white BMW X5 today: "Wow, I wouldn't choose this kind of car. This is my sister's and brother-in-law's car. Aren't they immigrants? It's not worthwhile to dispose of it second-hand, so give it to me." opened." After seeing off his sister and brother-in-law, Yu Mucheng drove the BMW home, which surprised Xie Nan.After he explained, Xie Nan still looked at the car suspiciously. She had no idea about the price of the car, but BMW always knew.Seeing her like that, Yu Mucheng decided to leave his sister's villa to him later to save her from digesting. After a while, Xie Nan asked suddenly: "Mu Cheng, is your family rich?" Yu Mucheng thought seriously: "I can't say it, anyway, I have never been on any rich list." His joking tone was too obvious, Xie Nan didn't bother to ask any more, and just kept thinking about it.Yu Mucheng hugged her: "You don't discriminate against rich people, do you?" "I'm afraid that rich people will discriminate against me, okay?" Xie Nan replied angrily. Yu Mucheng didn't take this seriously, and only kissed her jokingly: "I will depend on you to support me, just don't discriminate against me, otherwise I won't have anything to eat." After the two lived together, Xie Nan was responsible for the daily grocery shopping at home. Yu Mucheng gave her a card, but she accepted it without saying anything, but she never used it.When Yu Mucheng asked, she only glanced at him, and said sullenly, "Would it be strange to buy a vegetable by swiping the card? Besides, do you want me to pay you the rent?" Yu Mucheng was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound at that time. This was a rare time when Xie Nan was able to speak to him completely, but he liked her occasional sharp-tongued expression. This outing was organized by Xu Man through a post on the community forum, and those who were interested in traveling with them signed up to follow the thread. Many of them were dispatched by the whole family, bringing the elderly and children with them, and it was very lively.Now she will check the number of people against the list, and almost everyone has arrived.Equipped with a car radio and a mobile station, Xu Man and Lao Deng, another moderator of the forum, have long had experience in organizing such outings. They quickly arranged the car formation and numbered more than a dozen cars in order. let's go. The weather was nice, and everyone took off their thick winter clothes.The sun was warm, and the trees on both sides of the road were green with a light yellow color. The spring breeze was blowing, and people couldn't help being in a bad mood. Everyone chatted and joked on the radio all the way, and the itinerary was not lonely. After driving for more than two hours, I arrived at the county seat not far from the provincial capital. This is not a traditional tourist attraction, but it has become quietly famous for its large-scale planting of peach trees in recent years. It’s just in April, and large stretches of low peach forests stretch as far as the eye can see. Pink peach blossoms and golden rapeseed flowers are blooming one after another.Everyone excitedly parked their cars by the side of the road and started to act separately. Xu Man watched Yu Mucheng lead Xie Nan's hand down, and couldn't help laughing again: "You two, when did it start?" Xie Nan blushed, not knowing how to answer, Liu Jingqun patted Xu Man's head: "Honey, don't gossip." He turned to look at Yu Mucheng, "However, I'm also curious, haha." Yu Mucheng said nonchalantly: "It's near the water, can I not be tempted when I see her every day?" Xie Nan pinched his palm hard, and he gritted his teeth: "Okay, I won't talk anymore. Hey, Xu Man, I want to ask you something. Is there a better treatment for insomnia?" "You treat me as a cure for all diseases. Last time I asked about colds and this time I asked about insomnia," Xu Man said with a smile, "But Mu Cheng, I don't think you seem like someone who can suffer from insomnia. You should ask Xie Nan." "Yes," Yu Mucheng didn't care about Xie Nan continuing to pinch him, but only squeezed her hand tightly, "She wakes up very easily in the early morning, and her energy is not good during the day." "Have you had a comprehensive physical examination?" Xu Man resumed his doctor's professional face and asked Xie Nan. Xie Nan had no choice but to answer seriously: "The company organizes physical examinations for employees every year. Except for low hemoglobin and low blood sugar, I don't have any other problems." It can be solved with regular chocolate and sugar, so I don't take it seriously. "Then I think you are in a typical sub-health state. Office crowds and people with high pressure are more likely to be like this. You have to pay attention to adjusting yourself, and then it is best to strengthen your body, maintain good living habits and work and rest time, and try not to develop drugs. rely." Xie Nan nodded to be taught, Yu Mucheng said: "There is nothing to say, I will buy sportswear and sneakers when I go back, and I will go running with me at night, and I am not allowed to lie on the sofa anymore." Xie Nan said bluntly: "You haven't run recently." "Oh, it will be fine after a while. Jingqun, I have been really busy recently. I have stopped running and playing badminton for a long time." Liu Jingqun shook his head: "That's why I say that you are a poor boss, and it is prudent to promote someone who can share the burden as soon as possible." "Recently found a supply manager, who is very good. I think he should have potential, but I have to watch him for a while." "The current market situation should be very good, you guys, I think it should be more promising to properly shift the product direction to high-voltage electric cabinets." The business of Liu Jingqun’s foreign-funded company overlaps with that of Yu Mucheng’s company. The two have a common language. Standing by the side of the car, they had a lively discussion. From product structure to market development, they seem to have completely forgotten that they are standing in the spring. Bright suburbs. Xie Nan and Xu Man were completely unfamiliar with these things and had no interest in them, they couldn't help but smiled at each other, Xu Man said: "Ignore them, let's go, and actually come here to talk about these nonsense things, it's really disappointing and let down the good time. " Many of the neighbors are photographers, and they all took out all kinds of SLR cameras and tripods to take pictures. A few children ran through the rapeseed flowers and chased them, and some people dug up wild vegetables with great interest.Xie Nan and Xu Man walked over and looked at it curiously. Both of them grew up in the city and knew nothing about it. "Can this be eaten?" Xu Man muttered. An old lady turned her head and said proudly: "You young people don't know it. This is called Xiaosuan, and some people say it is called wild onion. The scrambled eggs are delicious. The one here is shepherd's purse, which is delicious when making dumplings." The two became interested after being told, they squatted down and dug together with the old lady. Yu Mucheng and Liu Jingqun walked over and couldn't help laughing when they saw Xie Nan and Xu Man each holding a handful of unknown plants. "What are you doing here? Pulling weeds for fun and destroying rural vegetation." Liu Jingqun took the "grass" from Xu Man's hand and studied it. Xu Man reproachfully refused: "This is your dinner, take it for me." Xie Nan stood up. She squatted for too long, and suddenly felt dizzy and her eyes turned black. Yu Mucheng hurriedly supported her: "You are still squatting because of low blood sugar? No, I have to eat this at night, right?" "That's not right, otherwise, wouldn't my work be in vain?" Xie Nan waited for the dizziness to recover, and waved the little garlic triumphantly, "Open the trunk, I'll put it in the car." Yu Mucheng had no choice but to obey, took out another bottle of mineral water to wash her hands, took out chocolate and stuffed it into her mouth, and then walked slowly along the field stalks with her. "It's so comfortable." Xie Nan took a deep breath, "Spring is so good." Yu Mucheng completely agrees, the beautiful scenery in front of him and the people around him make him feel comfortable. They walked slowly and came to a clear pond. Both of them wore jeans and sat on a bluestone board beside the pond to bask in the sun.Xie Nan leaned lazily on Mu Cheng, enjoying the sunshine and spring breeze with half-closed eyes. After a long and cold winter, such good weather is like a gift. Yu Mucheng looked at her sideways. She was wearing sunglasses and her hair was tied into a ponytail. The sun shone on her face, and her pale skin was also a little blush. "I don't seem to be very happy recently. Is it because I don't have time to accompany you?" "No, I'm afraid I'm too tired of you and I'll annoy you." "Why do you think so?" Yu Mucheng really felt a little unbelievable, "I want you to be bored, let me also experience the feeling of being bored. But recently we only have time for breakfast to talk, Fortunately, you are willing to accommodate me and go upstairs to accompany me, otherwise I will be really depressed to death." Xie Nan's face turned red again in an instant, she was very worried about the feeling that she insisted on going to Yu Mucheng's bed every morning to find a little sleep.Yu Mucheng laughed secretly, but when she lowered her head, her ears turned red, so she didn't dare to tease her anymore, so she hurriedly said something else. "Remember the first time we met?" "Remember, you helped me move the piano, you are really a good and helpful person." Yu Mucheng showed a shocked expression: "Why didn't you have any impression of me before this?" "Before?" Xie Nan was completely confused, "Have we met before?" "The day you installed the floor," Yu Mucheng had no choice but to recall her memory, "Do you remember, sitting in front of my car in a daze, I called you twice, and you came back to make way for me." Xie Nan was thinking hard, completely missing the point, she only remembered that she was helpless during the whole decoration process, watching the money rushing out all day long, hard work, worry and heartache, but she had to endure it.I really have no impression of the scene Mu Cheng said. Yu Mucheng couldn't help despising himself for remembering such details so clearly, but he had no choice but to remember.The woman who sat on the spot with her head buried in her knees, thinking about things in her own yard and forgetting herself, only raised her head after he called twice, and she was wearing a ponytail like that that day.She looked tired and her eyes were confused. She stood up and shook slightly, but quickly regained her composure and walked away as if nothing happened. "I must have looked very embarrassed at that time." Xie Nan knew herself. During that time, she ran around like a war on weekends, without makeup at all. deep look". "It's not embarrassing, it's just a sleepwalking expression. It doesn't seem to be decorating the floor of my own house, but I was caught doing something I didn't want to do." Xie Nan remembered Gao Rubing's persuasive persuasion back then, and also smiled: "I don't like it, but luckily Ru Bing persuaded me to move here." She suddenly stopped, and after a long pause, she said, "Otherwise, it would be impossible to know you gone." The second half of her sentence came out of nowhere, and she spoke vaguely and in a low voice, but when Yu Mucheng heard it, he felt his heart flutter, as if these words had reached the softest place in his heart.This was Xie Nan's closest confession. He grabbed her, dragged her into his arms, and kissed her on the lips. She struggled to push him: "Don't be crazy, don't even look where this is." He took off her sunglasses and looked directly into her eyes: "A field full of peach blossoms, you can't blame people for being erotic. And," he moved closer, "you even said such aphrodisiac words." Xie Nan looked at him innocently: "What did I say?" "Still pretending." He kissed again fiercely, Xie Nan smiled and begged for mercy: "Don't dare, I don't dare again." "Well, tell me, don't dare to do anything else." Xie Nan desperately suppressed a smile: "Don't dare talk to strangers casually anymore, no matter how helpful he looks, he can't be put in the house." Yu Mucheng was overjoyed, and before he could make a gesture, Xie Nan quickly said: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I will correct it." "How to change it?" "I'll change whatever you say. This attitude is okay." Xie Nan said very pitifully, but there was a sly smile on the corner of her mouth, Yu Mucheng also smiled, and just hugged her in his arms . "I'll write down the account for you first, and then I'll settle the bill when I go back at night. Besides, I have to be busy for a while." Yu Mucheng said lazily, "Don't you just because I'm too busy to coax you dislike me." "Hey, can I ask you something?" Xie Nan leaned on his lap and looked at the pond, unconsciously grabbing the grass growing on the ground. Yu Mucheng stroked her jet-black hair. Her hair hadn't been permed or dyed for so many years, and the slightly stiff hair felt smooth and smooth: "Say it." She grabbed a few stalks of grass and turned them around in her hands. The green sap from the grass stalks stained her fingers, which felt a little sticky. She twisted her fingers and didn't know how to speak for a long time.Yu Mucheng was puzzled, and turned her body to face him, but found that her expression was a little nervous, which surprised him. "What do you want to ask?" Xie Nan smiled slightly, trying to relax his expression: "Maybe it's a silly question. Mu Cheng, I want to know what you like about me." Yu Mucheng was really stopped by the question. He thought about it seriously: "All, all of you, including your awkwardness." Xie Nan wrapped his arms around his waist and hugged him, feeling the gentle spring breeze blowing towards his face.Yu Mucheng had said many sweeter and more beautiful words to her, but none of them made her as intoxicated as this one. Sure enough, the spring fields are very strong, she thought.
