That night, Wang Yitong retired to her bedroom to rest. Lin Mu also came into the room and used his phone to book a flight for the following afternoon. Lying in bed, he began to recall the early days of their relationship. When she came to visit him in the summer, they didn't have much money back then. They would spend the whole night on park benches near the school, or sleep in internet cafes.
When I took Wang Yitong to visit my hometown, there happened to be a tourist attraction called Simianshan nearby. To save money, the two of them walked to the scenic area, and she almost fell into the river.
During the earthquake, she was worried about my safety and took several buses to come to Chengdu to see me.
......
When did their relationship become distant? Was it when they had a quarrel and she hit him, or when he saw in the chat records that she cared about a high school student, or when she was looking for a job interview in Chengdu and was chatting and laughing with strangers?
Have you taken the initiative to understand her changes?
Wang Yitong planned to go to the store with her cousin Zheng Kun on Sunday to check on the situation, and Lin Mu also said that he wanted to go together to see Wang Yitong's work.
Lin Mu watched Wang Yitong shuttle between several Panda Tea shops, meticulously checking on operations at each location and interacting with management staff. After only three years, Wang Yitong had already taken on the demeanor of a decisive and efficient CEO, while he remained a mere worker. Previously, the gap between Wang Yitong and himself was distinct, but now it was directly between him and her, a gap that seemed even greater.
While checking out the store, the two also ran into Xu Chengwei.
Wang Yitong said, "Cheng Wei, why are you in this store?"
Xu Chengwei smiled and said, "Your store has been very popular recently. My friends have heard about it. I came to see your store's business situation in person and also to make an investment assessment and give my opinion." Seeing the opposite sex next to Wang Yitong, Xu Chengwei became nervous. He asked, "Tongtong, who is this man next to you?"
Wang Yitong didn't want the other party to misunderstand, so she quickly said, "This is my friend Lin Mu from Chengdu who came to visit me yesterday."
She also introduced Lin Mu: "Mumu, this is Teacher Xu, and he is also my friend. He helped me a lot in my college entrance examination and opening of the shop."
When Xu Chengwei heard Wang Yitong introduce the other person's name, he knew that this person was Wang Yitong's first love boyfriend, who had actually followed him to Shanghai. He hurried to Wang Yitong and said, "Since Tongtong is your friend, we should treat him to dinner tonight and fulfill our hospitality."
Looking at the seamless interaction between them, the man surnamed Xu standing next to Wang Yitong, showing his concern and aura, the two looked very compatible yet so glaring, Lin Mu's sense of loss became stronger and stronger.
He realized that what Wang Yitong said was not bragging. Wang Yitong did have outstanding people pursuing her, and he really missed too much.
At this moment, Wang Yitong noticed the change in Lin Mu's mood. She gently walked over to him, patted his shoulder, and asked with concern: "Mumu, what's wrong with you? You seem to be in a bad mood."
Lin Mu forced a smile, trying to hide his emotions, but a hint of sadness still lingered in his eyes. He murmured, "It's nothing. I just feel a little emotional seeing how successful you are now."
Wang Yitong smiled slightly, understanding Lin Mu's feelings. She recalled the time they had spent together, days filled with dreams and hope. She said encouragingly, "Mumu, you don't have to envy me. You're also very capable. I believe that as long as you work hard, you will be able to realize your dreams. Find the right person."
Wang Yitong's words warmed Lin Mu's heart. He knew that Wang Yitong sincerely wished him the best. He looked at Wang Yitong gratefully and said, "Thank you, Tongtong. I will work hard."
After Lin Mu, Wang Yitong, and Xu Chengwei checked out several shops, it was already late. Xu Chengwei invited them to dinner, and when Wang Yitong declined, Lin Mu felt relieved.
As the people behind him inspected the store, he could clearly feel Xu Chengwei's excellence. He also knew that Xu Chengwei was a PhD from LBS at a young age and had returned to school to teach graduate students. He also had his own investments, which he could not compare to at all.
Then Wang Yitong said, "Cheng Wei, let me treat you to dinner. Thank you for your guidance on the store this afternoon. Also, after dinner, I have to drive Lin Mu to the airport. He has to go back to work."
Lin Mu didn't expect that they would have to have dinner together in the end, so they went to a Hunan restaurant.
Wang Yitong said to Lin Mushu, "Mumu, you weren't used to the food you ate yesterday. There's a Hunan restaurant here that might suit your taste."
Hearing this, Lin Mu felt relieved and warmed his heart. "Thank you for remembering my taste."
Lin Mu, Wang Yitong, and Xu Chengwei sat around a round table in a Hunan restaurant. Wang Yitong ordered some signature dishes, including chopped pepper fish head, Mao's braised pork, and beans and eggplant.
Lin Mu took a bite of the chopped pepper fish head. It was so spicy that he broke out in a sweat, but he kept eating because Wang Yitong had ordered it for him. He thought the dish was very flavorful and suited his taste very well.
Wang Yitong looked at Lin Mu eating spicy food and said with a smile: "Mu Mu, you can still eat spicy food."
Lin Mu also smiled and said, "Yes, I have always liked spicy food. Do you remember when we used to eat hot pot together? I always ordered the spiciest soup base."
Wang Yitong nodded and said, "Of course I remember. Back then you always said it was spicy and satisfying."
Xu Chengwei listened to their conversation and took over, saying, "Time changes, people change, and habits change. You and Yitong haven't seen each other for a long time, and Yitong's taste has changed. But Tongtong, you can't handle spicy food now. The last time you went to eat grilled fish with me, you ordered it mildly spicy."
