When Lin Feng returned home, he saw Meng Qing playing the piano in the living room, while Mu Mu was lying quietly at Meng Qing's feet like a docile kitten, as if he was feeling the wonderful music with his heart.
The piano sounds melodious and plaintive, and the melody is filled with endless bitterness, which makes people feel an inexplicable resistance in their hearts.
Lin Feng remained silent, just stood quietly at the door, staring at Meng Qing.
A crystal clear teardrop slid down Meng Qing's nose like a pearl, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
Mu Mu seemed to notice Meng Qing's strange emotions. It stretched out its small paws and patted Meng Qing gently, as if comforting her wounded heart.
Meng Qing wiped away the tears from her eyes, reached out and gently held Mu Mu's head, and said softly: "Are you hungry? Wait a moment, I will prepare food for you."
Then, she stood up and saw Lin Feng standing at the door. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned her head away and wiped her cheek carelessly. After a moment, she turned her head again with a forced smile on her face: "Why are you back?"
"Today's research and development is completed." Lin Feng put down his coat, slowly walked towards Meng Qing, stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly.
He leaned his head against her neck, greedily sniffing the familiar scent, as if time had stopped for them at this moment.
Meng Qing's body was a little stiff. She gently pushed Lin Feng away and said, "Are you hungry? I'll go cook."
After saying that, she quickly walked towards the kitchen, leaving Lin Feng alone there. He looked at the busy figure in the kitchen in some surprise, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
Then he looked down at Mu Mu, and just as he was about to reach out to touch Mu Mu's head, he walked to the kitchen door and squatted down. Mu Mu, like a loyal knight, guarded the princess, raised his head, and stared at Meng Qing quietly, as if telling her: "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you."
Lin Feng's trembling hands hung in the air, and then he showed a self-deprecating smile. He slowly walked to the sofa and sat down. Just as he was about to rest, his eyes were attracted by the pillows on the sofa.
In an instant, Lin Feng's heart was overwhelmed with emotion.
She didn't let Mu Mu go upstairs, so even if she was not at home, Meng Qing wouldn't let Mu Mu go upstairs.
However, Meng Qing was so lonely that she slept in the living room so that she could feel Mu Mu's company.
I asked Shen Yunche to buy Mu Mu so that Meng Qing could accompany me, but I went home very few times during this period.
Every time he came back, Meng Qing had already gone to bed, and the cold dinner on the table made Lin Feng feel full of guilt.
Then, Lin Feng looked at Meng Qing who came out of the kitchen. She held a bowl and said gently, "Okay, come and eat."
Lin Feng walked to the table, looked at the two bowls of noodles, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "You haven't eaten yet?"
"Let's eat together." Meng Qing's tone was flat, without any emotion in it.
Lin Feng frowned when he heard this, stopped talking, and lowered his head to eat. The two of them were silent, and a heavy atmosphere filled the air.
"The product was developed successfully today." Lin Feng was the first to break the awkward silence.
Meng Qing just said "hmm" softly and said nothing more.
Lin Feng obviously had not expected Meng Qing to be so calm, and then he said with a look of surprise: "The product development has been successful."
"Congratulations." Meng Qing's tone was still as calm as dead water. Then, seeing that Lin Feng stopped talking, she raised her eyes. Her calm eyes were like a deep pool, so that Lin Feng could not see any emotional fluctuations.
"What's wrong?" Meng Qing asked softly.
Lin Feng opened his mouth, but no sound came out. After a long time, he suppressed his emotions and asked, "Why are you so calm?"
"Then what should my reaction be?" Meng Qing asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Then who am I doing all this for?" Lin Feng asked.
Meng Qing looked at Lin Feng with a puzzled look and said, "Isn't it for yourself?"
"For me?" Lin Feng looked at Meng Qing blankly. The words came to his lips but he couldn't speak. He just muttered and repeated Meng Qing's words.
"For me, for me..."
"Isn't it?" Meng Qing looked at Lin Feng and asked back.
Lin Feng was so angry at Meng Qing's words that he laughed a little, and said, "Do you think that all I did was for myself?"
"No, I started this company for me in the first place." Meng Qing's tone remained calm.
Lin Feng paused and asked in disbelief: "What about the others? Isn't it for you?"
"For me?" Meng Qing asked back.
"If not for you, who else could it be for?" Lin Feng asked.
"Are you really doing this for me?" Meng Qing stared into Lin Feng's eyes and said.
"What else?" Lin Feng retorted.
"In the past, no matter how busy I was, you would always stay by my side. However, in this period of time, you have come back very few times. Do you think that since Mu Mu is by your side, you don't need to accompany me?" There was a hint of resentment in Meng Qing's voice.
"I'm too busy with company affairs, and I can't leave for product development. The last time I left, Ye Yuanshan took advantage of me." Lin Feng defended.
"Yes, you are always busy, so I always explain for you and cannot complain at all. Every time I prepare a meal, I wait for you to come back, and I fall asleep while waiting. After waking up, I find that you haven't come back yet. How lonely I was at that time! I persuade myself again and again that I just need to get through this period, and just hold on a little longer." Meng Qing said slowly.
"When I can't help but miss you and go to the company to see you, you are always too busy to talk to me, but you can chat with Wen Wanning. Have you ever thought about why Mu Mu is so distant from you?" Meng Qing looked straight into Lin Feng's eyes.
"I'm working overtime so hard, isn't it all for you? Who am I working day and night for?" Lin Feng's voice unconsciously became heavier.
"At first, you did it for me, but what happened later? Lin Feng, I said, I only want you. No matter what, I only want you! But you can't even give me the most basic companionship. I am alone before going to bed every day, and I am still alone when I wake up. In this huge home, Mu Mu and I are the only ones to depend on each other." Meng Qing's eyes were slightly red, and she stared at Lin Feng.
"What do you want me to think?" Meng Qing asked with a slightly trembling voice.
"I want to give you a bright future. The future is not paved for us to walk on. Someone always needs to work hard for it." Lin Feng's tone gradually softened.
"If we can't even hold on to the present, how can we talk about the future?" When Meng Qing said this, she realized that her words were inappropriate and looked at Lin Feng with a little apology.
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Lin Feng stunned for a moment.
After a long while, Lin Feng sighed deeply, then silently picked up the bowl and said, "I'll go wash the dishes."
Meng Qing looked at Lin Feng's departing back with her slightly red eyes, then turned and went upstairs.
After washing the dishes, Lin Feng looked at the empty living room, went upstairs to wash up, and prepared to rest.
As soon as he lay down on the bed, Lin Feng gently reached out and hugged Meng Qing's waist, and gently placed his cheek on her neck.
Meng Qing was like a well-behaved sheep. She turned around and slowly hugged Lin Feng. The two of them embraced each other in silence.
Who is wrong? Maybe no one is wrong, but they just have different standpoints and different ways of thinking.
From Lin Feng's perspective, was he wrong? For the future of both of them, he worked hard, so what was wrong with that?
However, from Meng Qing's perspective, what was she doing wrong? If she couldn't even hold on to the present, how could she talk about the future?
One is devoted to building the future, but ignores the beauty of the present;
One who cares too much about the present and is confused about the future.
Just as the book describes countless unexpectedly gorgeous evenings, but never mentions those dull and depressing mornings.
......
Love from beginning to end is not the persistence of one person, but the efforts of two people.
