Chapter 46
It was another morning. Mu Yunting opened his eyes. The lockdown was almost over.
He put on his slippers and went to the bathroom to wash up as usual. Then he opened the door and walked to the balcony.
There is a little sunlight on the balcony, which shines on the thriving mung bean seedlings and potato sprouts, making the leaves look translucent green.
Mu Yunting took a few photos as usual, selected some and posted them on his WeChat Moments. He turned and walked towards the kitchen, starting to think about what to make for breakfast today.
"Crack--" The eggshell split apart from the crack, and Mu Yunting scooped the yolk left in the eggshell into another basin.
After his careful interaction... yes, Su Qiong's relationship with him rapidly developed from a friendship to a friendship. The two even had the feeling of being close friends.
"Mu Yunting, it's great to be friends with you!" Su Qiong smiled and patted Mu Yunting's shoulder.
Thinking of this scene, Mu Yunting almost crushed the eggshell in his hand further.
Anyway, it can be considered as further development.
Mu Yunting tried very hard to show his affection in various ways, hoping that Su Qiong could understand his underlying meaning. However, because he was worried that his feelings would cause trouble to Su Qiong, he did not dare to speak or act too directly, lest he make Su Qiong feel embarrassed during the lockdown and cause their relationship to break down.
But what made him helpless was that Su Qiong didn't think about it that way at all.
Using chopsticks to stir the egg yolk, the distinct yolk liquid gradually merged. Mu Yunting thought, he would confess as soon as the lockdown ended.
"Wow, where's the omelet!" Su Qiong shook off the water droplets on her hands and leaned over to inhale the food: "It smells so good!"
Mu Yunting smiled, his morning depression dissipating as Su Qiong swung her chopsticks. "If it smells good, eat more. You can make it again next time."
After dinner, the two watched the news as usual. Mu Yunting went into the house to work, while Su Qiong watched anime in the living room.
Mu Yunting had just started reading the report when there was a knock on the door. "Come in."
Su Qiong poked her head in, blinking her eyes as she said briskly, "Coffee is here!" She gently pushed the door open and placed the coffee on Mu Yunting's desk. Seeing the table on the big screen, she waved, "I'll be out then."
"Yes, thank you."
"Well, it's just a piece of cake." Then the door closed gently.
Mu Yunting stared at the door for a long moment, then took a sip of his coffee. The temperature was just right, and the taste was familiar.
Ah, I really still like Su Qiong...
After work, Su Qiong prepared lunch and the two of them ate and chatted at the table.
"I received the notice. They will be released next week." Mu Yunting said.
Su Qiong looked up and asked in surprise, "Our neighborhood?"
"Um."
Su Qiong asked happily, "What day is it?"
Mu Yunting opened his phone and forwarded the message to Su Qiong, "Friday."
"The property management contacted us privately this morning. But the building next door hasn't been opened yet. They should be slowly unblocking one building at a time."
Su Qiong looked at the message, then opened the calendar and calculated the date. "So that's five days from now? Ouch!"
Are you so happy about the unblocking? Mu Yunting felt depressed again.
Su Qiong didn't notice that Mu Yunting was distracted, and said with a smile: "You can go to work at the company and resume operations, so you don't have to work so hard."
"Ah, yes." Mu Yunting rolled his eyes concealingly and stared at Su Qiong's dishes and chopsticks.
After dinner, Mu Yunting was about to go back to his study to work. Seeing Su Qiong walking out of her room with her phone in hand, Mu Yunting called her.
"Do you like writing letters?"
Su Qiong sighed, "Indeed, I occasionally write letters to my friends. But I rarely do that after I started working. What's wrong?"
Mu Yunting replied calmly: "Nothing."
In fact, he looked at Su Qiong's circle of friends. There was a message like this:
Oh my god! The most romantic thing in the world is a handwritten love letter!
PS: The letter was received by my roommate, haha!

So Mu Yunting also planned to write a confession letter.
On the fourth day before the lockdown was lifted, Mu Yunting changed the water for the mung bean sprouts.
Su Qiong and Mu Yunting finished watching the third season of Attack on Titan.
On the third day before the lockdown was lifted, Mu Yunting measured the height of Potato Seedling.
Su Qiong drew a few Q-version figures of Mu Yunting cooking.
On the second to last day after the lockdown was lifted, Mu Yunting stared at the two plants in a daze.
After Su Qiong leaves, you will be mine.
On the first day before the lockdown was lifted, Mu Yunting stared at the folded envelope in a daze.
Su Qiong and Mu Yunting had a last chat that night.
"Do you accept love that grows over time or love at first sight?" Mu Yunting stared at the slightly lively night scene and saw several cars passing by.
Su Qiong thought for a moment, then picked the reddest, roundest grape. "As for me... I actually think love at first sight is sweet. But in real life, I prefer love that grows over time."
"After all, only by spending time together can you tell if two people are compatible. Love at first sight is still too unrealistic. What do you think?"
Mu Yunting replied: "I also prefer love that grows over time."
Su Qiong said with emotion: "Time passes very quickly. It's slow at the same time as it is fast at the same time."
Mu Yunting laughed, "Isn't this just nonsense literature?"
Su Qiong was amused: "Haha, oh my, the key is emotion, emotion." She paused, then continued: "It's amazing to think about it. If we hadn't been banned by chance, we wouldn't be friends."
Mu Yunting nodded. "Actually, I want more than just to be friends with you."
"It's really a wonderful coincidence."
"But I think that even if there was no epidemic and no lockdown, we would still be friends." Mu Yunting turned his head and stared at Su Qiong.
Su Qiong chuckled, "I think so too."
Mu Yunting asked, "After the lockdown was lifted, you went to Shenzhen to see your friend, right?"
"Yeah. The epidemic isn't over yet, and they're still super busy. Go take care of her."
Mu Yunting asked again: "When will you return to Shanghai?"
Su Qiong thought about it and said, "I'm not sure, it shouldn't be that fast."
"If the epidemic ends soon, I might travel around the world. If not, I'll go back to my parents, who are also in Shenzhen. Oh, did I not tell you? They are teachers, teaching high school seniors this year."
Then aren’t you going back to Shanghai?
Mu Yunting moved his lips but didn't ask in the end.
Su Qiong picked another grape and asked, "What time will the lockdown be lifted tomorrow morning?"
"Twelve o'clock noon. Let's eat first, there's no rush."
"Okay~"
Mu Yunting added, "Let me cook, as a farewell."
Su Qiong was very happy: "Okay." After a while, she said with emotion, "Mu Yunting, you are really an excellent person in every aspect." Except for being a little picky and obsessed with mysophobia.
Mu Yunting looked as if he didn't know what to say. Su Qiong continued, "You don't have the airs of a rich person, nor the beer belly of a big boss. Even though you're not good at some things, you try to do them well, like washing dishes, cleaning, cooking..."
"Oh, it's really good anyway!"
Su Qiong smiled and said, "I hope everything goes well for you and you can live a happy life in the future."
Mu Yunting also smiled: "Do you hope that everything goes well for me?"
"OK."
Then I also wish myself all the best tomorrow.
"After you finish eating this bunch of grapes, go back to sleep. The lockdown will be lifted tomorrow."
"good."
