Chapter 134 "Where are you now?"
Mu Jia took a sip of lemonade, not deciding whether to say it directly.
She didn't tell anyone about going abroad. Even Song Mingxi didn't know the news yet. She only told her parents.
This silence was misunderstood as having another meaning.
At the other end of the box, several female classmates were gathered together whispering. When they heard this topic, they all looked over here.
Li Xiaowen understood.
He smiled and said, "The job market is not good right now, and many top students are unemployed..."
So Feng Mo took the opportunity to sit down next to Mu Jia.
Mu Jia wanted to change the subject, so he turned around and asked Feng Mo, "What are you busy with recently?"
Feng Mo was a little flattered. "I'm not like you. I don't have the ability to make it to Beijing." He paused and said, "Thanks to my family connections, I'm now working in the power grid, and I'm doing pretty well..."
Li Xiaowen had heard about this, and now, hearing him bring it up, she immediately complimented him, "Jia Jia, you didn't know this yet, did you? Feng Mo was promoted to deputy section chief last year, and now he's in the most lucrative department... a blue chip stock, grab this!"
Mu Jia didn't say anything.
…
When the class reunion ended.
It started to drizzle outside.
In the night, the raindrops fall like countless silver threads under the reflection of neon lights.
Feng Mo chased after him, opened a black umbrella, walked up to Mu Jia, and offered, "Let me take you home. I heard you didn't drive here."
Time is indeed up.
Mu Jia didn't drive when she went out today. Now she had to take the underground bus and cross an intersection. She thought about it and agreed.
On the way, the rain was getting heavier.
Feng Mo took the initiative to strike up a conversation to ease the tense atmosphere.
"When we were in school, I thought you were a goddess, and you were also the recognized top student in our class. I didn't expect that after all these years, you're still single..."
Mu Jia doesn't really want to talk about relationship topics.
“I’m too busy at work.”
She looked at the blurry rain scene outside the window and said casually.
Raindrops meandered down the glass, distorting the outside world into a hazy light and shadow. Some people hurried across the road, holding books to shield their heads, a bit like when they were in school...
Feng Mo's eyes followed her, his hands undoubtedly tapping lightly on the steering wheel, and he persuaded her, "It's a good thing for girls to be ambitious, but... " He paused, "After all, you still have to get married and have children..."
In the rain, the familiar street scene flashed by.
Mu Jia quickly turned around and said, "I'm here. Just park in front."
Not far away, the family compound building stood quietly in the rain.
Feng Mo scratched his head, feeling that she was avoiding the topic, but when he looked closely, he saw that it was indeed where Mu Zhisheng and Chen Lifang lived, and he didn't say anything.
The car quickly drove to the downstairs of the community.
Mu Jia got out of the car, but Feng Mo didn't leave. When Mu Jia was about to walk into the gate of the community, he suddenly called her, "Are you free tomorrow? Let's go to the movies together?"
Mu Jia was holding an umbrella and fixing her rain-soaked hair. Upon hearing this topic, she casually asked, "Are there any new movies coming out recently?"
Feng Mo took out his mobile phone with great interest and checked it online.
"There's a romantic film called 'Mountain Flowers,' and a Thai horror film with a Douban score of 8.2... The trailer looks pretty scary..."
Mu Jia didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly looked up, "Okay."
She stays at home every day, so it's inevitable that her parents will notice something is wrong. It would be better for her to go out and relax, which can also avoid family conflicts.
Feng Mo's eyes lit up instantly.
"Then I'll come pick you up tomorrow."
"Um."
"See you tomorrow then."
"good."
Mu Jia waved and watched Feng Mo's car leave.
——
night.
Song Mingxi sent a video.
In the picture, a furry little rabbit is jumping happily in the garden.
The long ears tremble with the movement.
Sometimes it would go to the rose bush to sniff, sometimes it would lower its head to nibble on the tender green grass, and its little tail would jump up and down in the sunset.
"Look how happy it is~"
Song Mingxi's voice came from the video, with an unconcealable smile, "I told you, little creatures like this are better suited to frolicking in nature. They're so happy now."
Mu Jia unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth.
The little rabbit seemed more lively than when it was with her. It was probably its first time going out. It was using its front paws to pick at Song Mingxi's gardening gloves, and its three-lobed mouth was moving quickly, nibbling on the grass clippings on them.
In the background, you can see a corner of the carefully arranged garden:
There is a wooden cabin with a rest area covered with hay and a lawn specially fenced off for rabbits to play.
Song Mingxi suddenly asked, "Jia Jia, why did you suddenly return to Wuzhou?"
Mu Jia's expression was briefly unnatural. "My parents said they missed me, and I happened to have a class reunion, so I came back."
"I see~"
"Class reunion, did anything interesting happen?"
Mu Jia thought about it, "Someone wants to introduce me to someone, does that count?"
Song Mingxi swallowed her saliva, "Is this interesting?" She remembered that recently, Cheng Yu'an had repeatedly invited her out for dinner; and Xie Siyan also hinted to Zhou Xu in a roundabout way that she should not say bad things about him in front of Mu Jia's ears.
She now feels that there are too many men around Mu Jia...
The day of boarding was a leisurely one.
Feng Mo happened to be nearby and was shocked to see her carrying luggage. "Mu Jia, are you going on a long trip?"
"yes."
Mu Jia didn't hide anything, carrying a 26-inch suitcase with his phone, and said bluntly, "Let's go abroad to relax."
Feng Mo was a little stunned.
He had never expected that she was unemployed, not worried about life and marriage, not anxious about blind dates like other girls, and even wanted to travel abroad...
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, and Feng Mo forced a smile. "Which country are you going to? This year during the Chinese New Year, I also went to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand."
"USA."
Feng Mo's smile faded.
He still hadn't given up, "How long do you plan to be gone?"
"More than half a year."
Now Feng Mo couldn't laugh anymore.
But Mu Jia didn't have time to care about these things. Wuzhou didn't have an international airport. She had to take the high-speed rail and transfer. Mu Jia quickly said goodbye to Feng Mo and rushed to the station.
Ningcheng International Airport.
Before the plane took off, Mu Jia received a call.
When she saw who was calling, her heart skipped a beat, but she still answered the call.
Under the high-definition camera, Xie Siyan's angular face instantly appeared in front of him, with his brows slightly furrowed and his thin lips tightly pursed.
He was playing with a black card between his bony fingers. "What's going on with this card?"
Mu Jia's fingers unconsciously tightened around the seat belt.
"This card is useless to me," she explained in a hoarse voice, "I don't need it anymore, so I'm sending it back to you."
Xie Siyan was not so embarrassed. He felt that he was being rude just because the woman returned a card to him.
However, men are somewhat obsessed with spending money on their women, especially when he thought that her last initiative was a sign of reconciliation.
Xie Siyan stared at her, wanting to say something. Mu Jia held her phone close enough that she could only see her face. The moment she moved, Xie Siyan's eyes suddenly fixed on the background behind her, his gaze fixed:
"Where are you now?"
It was a low voice.
At the same moment, the sweet voice of the flight attendant sounded on the flight, "All passengers, please turn off your electronic devices and straighten your seat backs..."
Mu Jia looked hurried, didn't look at him, and cut off the call, "Xie Siyan, let's not talk about it for now."
