Chapter 36 New Year
A week passed quickly.
Mu Jia bought some New Year's goods, and then contacted Lin Nuo, "See you downstairs in the apartment tomorrow."
Lin Nuo replied immediately: "Okay, Senior."
Song Mingxi looked at the two of them and wondered, "...are you guys reconciled again?"
Mu Jia was busy packing up, and nodded vaguely when he heard this: "Yeah."
I guess so.
They didn't seem to be arguing.
Song Mingxi held his chin in his hand, "That's not right... You don't even mind him hugging someone else?"
Mu Jia recalled the circle of friends and explained slowly:
"He said he was playing games. Then I thought about it. It was a noisy day, and it was another boy who answered the phone... You know, situations like this can easily lead to misunderstandings."
Song Mingxi stared at her without saying a word.
Mu Jiali adjusted her hair, "What's wrong?"
She looked at herself in the mirror.
"I don't care. I won't think too much about it. Mu Jia, you really have no interest in Lin Nuo, right...?"
Song Mingxi bleeds.
Mu Jia was choked and didn't know what to say.
Song Mingxi sat down on the high chair behind her, looking down at the robot boy's circle of friends while reminiscing.
"Back when I first started dating Chi Zhao, I wanted to check on him eight hundred times a day. I wouldn't let go of any female creature around him. Let alone a photo like this, even if a stranger of the opposite sex appeared next to him at a party, I could imagine a big drama in my mind... Well, I wanted to lock him up at home at the time, and later he rebelled as I wished."
Mu Jia listened to her youthful past and was silent for a long time before saying, "Then I really don't have that possessive desire towards Lin Nuo..."
She raised her face and asked Song Mingxi seriously: "Feelings can be cultivated, right?"
——
Song Mingxi acted very quickly.
Before the holiday, she had made an appointment with He Chen, the boy she met in the robot shop.
“It turns out he created the entire brand.”
While driving, Song Mingxi whispered in Mu Jia's ear, "I asked my brother to check. His company just passed its C round, and the industry ratings are super high. And you know, AI is a cutting-edge hot topic right now... How about I ask my brother to invest in it?"
Mu Jia leaned back absentmindedly in the passenger seat.
"Mingxi, just drop me off at the gate of Beijing University. Lin Nuo and I will take a taxi to the high-speed rail station."
"Taxi? With so much luggage, I can just take it there."
"Alright."
She was unusually silent today. Song Mingxi nagging her for a while, then shifted his focus. "By the way, why don't you customize one too? I think that little robot endorsed by Guan Yingxin is pretty cute. I'll give you He Chen's contact information."
Mu Jia thought for a moment and said, "I'll come back during the Spring Festival."
Song Mingxi thought about it and felt that it was right.
It’s not too late to talk about it after you come back.
——
When Mu Jia arrived, Lin Nuo was already waiting at the school gate.
He was wearing a refreshing white outfit today, including shoes, which gave him a youthful vibe.
Song Mingxi greeted him warmly, then whispered in Mu Jia's ear, "Young people are different. Just by looking at them, I can tell they are full of vigor and vitality."
Mu Jia glanced at her and felt that the hidden intention behind her words was too obvious.
"He Chen is younger than you?" she asked.
"Yeah." Song Mingxi: "Three years younger."
Lin Nuo stood in front of Song Mingxi's car for a while before walking over hesitantly. When he saw the people in the front seat, he opened the door and put the luggage on the back seat.
Mu Jia turned around, greeted him, and introduced: "This is Song Mingxi, a friend of mine."
"I'm her best friend, you can call me Sister Mingxi."
Lin Nuo nodded politely at her, but never called her "sister".
When Song Mingxi went out today, he said he wanted to help Mu Jia support the business, and he drove the G-Class in the garage. Judging from Lin Nuo's reaction just now, it was obvious that he was also intimidated by this car.
In his impression, Mu Jia belongs to the white-collar class and is far from driving this kind of car.
He sat in the back row, and suddenly the report came to his mind -
That’s right.
Being able to know a man from the Xie family of China Construction, with such means, it's normal for him to have a wealthy friend. Lin Nuo sat silently in the back row, thinking.
Song Mingxi, however, was restless. "Junior, I'm also a senior student at Peking University. I've read your resume a long time ago. It's very impressive."
Lin Nuo said modestly, "You're too kind. You must have met many outstanding people, right?"
Song Mingxi thought about it.
I don't know if people like Xie Siyan and Zhou Xu can be considered excellent. Anyway, they have power and money, but they just don't behave like human beings.
"No award, no award."
Song Mingxi laughed, "Are you going home together this time? And meeting your parents?"
Lin Nuo glanced at Mu Jia and said shyly, "Of course I'm willing, but I don't know what you mean..."
This senior sister refers to Mu Jia.
——
The glass curtain wall of the high-speed railway station reflects the hurried figures.
Mu Jiagang opened the car door.
Song Mingxi got out of the car swiftly and went around to the trunk to get her luggage.
"See you after the New Year."
Song Mingxi handed her the suitcase.
Mu Jia smiled and said, "Contact me anytime."
Mu Jia watched Song Mingxi's car drive away. Before she could look away, Lin Nuo came over and took her suitcase naturally, saying casually:
"Senior Sister and Senior Sister Song are classmates at Kyoto University?"
"No." Mu Jia shook his head.
She turned and walked towards the entrance with him.
The early winter wind blew past my ears.
Lin Nuo pulled her scarf up naturally.
"Then how did you two meet?" Lin Nuo pushed the suitcase and pretended to chat.
"I went to the interview after graduation... well, I met him by chance."
"Senior Song also works at Bank of China?"
Just a few words.
After getting off the car, the topic of their conversation revolved around Song Mingxi.
Mu Jia's eyes swept across Lin Nuo's profile.
It wasn't that she was deliberately hiding it, it was just that Song Mingxi's story was a long one - those complicated relationships, when she was mentioned, the topic would inevitably turn to Cheng Yu'an.
"Let's go in," she said, her voice a little deliberate, as she suddenly quickened her pace. "If we delay any longer, we'll miss the bus."
——
The night is as dark as ink.
Zhou Xu's sports car rolled over the gravel road.
It swung a beautiful arc in front of the lawn of Xie Siyan's villa.
When he pushed the door open, the light from the crystal chandelier shone obliquely on the oil painting in front of him.
"Is this painting displayed here now?"
Zhou Xu took another look.
The girl in the painting is shrouded in swan wings, and she is gazing up at him, as if infatuated, confused, and even in a lost admiration.
"I brought you something interesting."
Zhou Xu leaned back on the leather sofa, his eyes moving away from this work of divinity, lust and violence.
He tapped his fingertips on the phone screen.
With a "ding" sound, a video file was transferred to Xie Siyan's mobile phone.
Xie Siyan lowered his eyes.
Lin Nuo's figure was clearly visible in the flickering images on the screen.
Along with this, a stack of scanned copies of the hotel check-in records were also sent.
"Male college students nowadays..." Zhou Xu fiddled with his lighter, the metallic sound of opening and closing being particularly crisp in the quiet living room. "They're even wilder than we were back then."
Xie Siyan lowered his eyes silently, his whole body as calm as if he was listening to a meeting report, without any ripples.
The background sound of the video even included the conversation between Lin Nuo and Su Qin in the elevator.
The obscene language is unbearable to hear.
Xie Siyan listened twice and turned it off.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu's lips curled up in a playful manner: "What? You don't plan to rush over and save the beauty?"
He drawled his words deliberately.
"If we go now, even if she's not touched, she'll still thank you for telling her the truth. But if we let them spend the Spring Festival alone..."
A man and a woman, passionate about each other.
It's no surprise what they can do.
Especially, judging from this video, that guy is no pushover either.
