Chapter 45 Tie
What the hell is going on.
What made him run away?
Mu Yuan was speechless for a long time, and then babbled: [I was joking. If you run away with the money, you will go to jail.]
Huo Min only said: [I'll come over now.]
Mu Yuan looked at the hung up phone in a daze, wondering: Have they been eating together too often recently?
Has the group been less busy lately?
When Huo Min arrived.
Mu Yuan was standing with her hands behind her back, concentrating on watching the children fishing for goldfish in the children's area.
Her almond-shaped eyes curved slightly, and when she saw the children cheering after catching a fish, the arc of her eyes deepened, and her cold facial features suddenly became lively.
Huo Min's thin lips just opened.
Then a little girl dropped her fishing rod, hugged Mu Yuan's thighs, and shouted without even looking at her, "Mommy, mommy, I'm hungry."
Huo Min raised his brows, his black pupils fixed on Mu Yuan.
She was surprised for a moment, touched the little girl's head, and chuckled: "Little friend, look up and see who I am."
The little girl looked up in confusion, and when she saw Mu Yuan's face clearly, she was so scared that she let go.
"Baby?" A woman walked quickly over from a distance, hugged the little girl's head and pressed it against her chest, then smiled apologetically at Mu Yuan: "Sorry."
"It doesn't matter."
Mu Yuan noticed something out of the corner of her eye, turned her head, and met Huo Min's face with a faint smile on it.
Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with surprise, and she walked towards him: "You're here?"
Huo Min glanced at the small fish tank: "Want to fish?"
Mu Yuan followed his gaze and smiled, "No, I was just looking around."
She lowered her eyelashes, tightened her fingers around the paper bag's strap, and handed it over with both hands.
His tone was nervous and expectant: "This is for you."
Huo Min's eyes paused for a moment, and he took it from her hand: "What is this?"
"tie."
Huo Min suddenly understood: "So you were buying me a tie just now?"
Mu Yuan thought of the joke just now, his eyes wandering: "Well, I picked a blue one, you can see if you like it later, if you don't like it, you can go and change it."
"No."
Facing her puzzled expression, Huo Min smiled faintly: "I trust your judgment."
The sparkling light in his eyes was too dazzling.
Mu Yuan suddenly felt a little dry in the mouth, and quickly looked away, pretending to be in a hurry to find a restaurant: "There are many restaurants here, which one do you want to eat at?"
"I'll do as you say." He tightened the bag in his hand, his heart filled with joy.
"Then let me see..."
Mu Yuan walked towards the restaurant and glanced at him distractedly.
He looked back and forth at the shopping bag with a satisfied expression, as if it were some great treasure.
She looked away, her pink lips unconsciously raised slightly.
Mu Yuan chose a hot pot restaurant.
The weather is getting cold, eating hot pot will warm your stomach.
She ordered the spicy hot pot.
The two of them couldn't eat spicy food very well, so they took a sip of hot pot and a sip of water, and their lips turned darker.
For no reason, they looked at each other in tacit understanding.
The same embarrassment.
I don’t know who laughed first, but until they finished eating, their eyes were still curved.
The bottom of the pot continued to boil, and the rising steam blurred the vision.
Blurry, misty, ambiguous and lingering.
The waiter came over with a Polaroid camera and said with a warm smile, "Excuse me, today is our third anniversary. Would you like to take a photo together and hang it on the commemorative wall in the store? You can get a 12% discount and get a small gift from us."
Mu Yuan raised her hand that was resting on her leg, wanting to refuse.
"Let's shoot." Huo Min spoke first in a calm voice.
Mu Yuan looked at him in surprise.
A casual smile adorned his narrow, long, and auspicious eyes. "It's a 12% discount. You can't go against money."
Mu Yuan's lips moved, but in the end she said nothing.
I secretly complained: When did Huo Min start caring about such small discounts?
"Then please face me."
Mu Yuan was in front. Huo Min stared at her, put his elbow on the edge of the table, and leaned closer to her quietly.
"Okay, both of you smile brighter~ one, two, three."
The Polaroid camera clicked and a photo came out.
Mu Yuan glanced at the photo. The Polaroid camera accentuated his deep bone structure, making him extremely handsome.
"It looks good." He said, but his eyes were fixed on her.
"Yes, it looks good." Mu Yuan was still looking at... him in the photo.
When I paid the bill, the front desk automatically gave me a 12% discount and also gave me a box of flower cakes.
Mu Yuan looked at the memorial wall. Their photos had been nailed to the corner with small colorful nails.
Mu Yuan thought: No one should notice this photo, right?
After dinner they went home.
Mu Yuan has already gotten into the car.
Huo Min's large, bony hands rested on the door frame, but he didn't sit down.
Mu Yuan was puzzled: "Aren't you getting in the car?"
Huo Min bent down, his dark eyes deep: "I forgot to buy something, please wait for me in the car."
Mu Yuan held the flower cake in her arms and nodded: "Okay, go ahead."
She didn't wait long in the car.
Huo Min turned back.
But her hands were empty, and she was at a loss: "Didn't you buy what you wanted?"
Huo Min said nonchalantly: "Yeah."
Mu Yuan: "What do you want to buy?"
Huo Min's eyes flickered. "Nothing, I just wanted to buy some more bags of coffee beans, but they don't have the flavor I want."
Mu Yuan had just asked casually, and now that he had answered, he didn't take the question too seriously: "Oh..."
The night shadows are like curtains. When they are lifted, countless stars twinkle, illuminating the two-lane road.
-
When Mu Yuan got up, she found that Huo Min had not left yet and was in the living room.
He was wearing a new dark blue tie on his thin wrist. When he heard the sound, his black eyes lifted up.
A casual yet magnetic voice that is unique to the early morning: "Good morning."
"Good morning." Mu Yuan pursed his lips.
Will he bring it today?
Her eyes were still on the new tie.
"Can you help me fight?" he asked.
Mu Yuan's eyes were filled with confusion, not understanding why he didn't tie his tie himself.
He saw it and curled the corners of his lips slightly: "You bought it, so why don't you cut the ribbon?"
His dark eyes were stained by smile, becoming even deeper.
Mu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Faced with the choice of refusing to make the atmosphere awkward or respecting the current friendly atmosphere, she chose the latter.
I'm just helping you tie your tie, no need to be so pretentious, and it's not like I've never done one before: "Okay."
She took the tie.
Huo Min lowered his head consciously and cooperated with her to wrap the tie around the back of his neck and pull it to the front.
Mu Yuan pinched the two ends of the tie, then quickly raised his eyes and asked, "What do you want to tie?"
Huo Min half-closed his black eyelashes, concealing most of his drowning gentleness, and subconsciously lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of startling her who was so close to him.
"What kind of fight would you have?"
Mu Yuan recalled: "Four-in-hand knot and Half Windsor, my mother taught me before."
Huo Min: "Half Windsor, maybe."
The last time she helped Huo Min tie his tie was when they had just gotten married. Zhao Keqiong happened to see a tie she liked while shopping, and after a family dinner, she suddenly wanted to ask her to tie it for Huo Min so that she could see the effect.
It turned out that Mu Yuan didn't know how to do it, and she strangled Huo Min so hard that his face turned red. So she taught him two ways of fighting on the spot.
Perhaps it was influenced by the memory of her previous embarrassing situation, or because she hadn't fought for too long, Mu Yuan was not good at fighting, and her anxious pink lips were subconsciously clenched.
Huo Min took in her highly nervous state, curled his lips, and gently grasped her two slender white wrists.
Mu Yuan was forced to stop.
I looked up at him blankly.
He smiled softly and said patiently, "Don't worry, I'll teach you."
The warm big hand wrapped around the smaller hand, slowly crossing the collar tip, wrapping it around, and tying it into a beautiful half Windsor knot.
At that time, the white gauze curtains by the window were blown by the breeze, and the curtain tails rippled and danced in the air, rolling up the tender feelings and spreading to every corner of the room.
