Chapter 11: Remaining in Touch
In this city, except for Mu Xu and Mo Niao, almost no one knows that Zheng Shu is Lin Jin's cousin.
Zheng Shu and Lin Jin are not in contact now, but they actually got along pretty well during their freshman year.
Their mothers are twins. Zheng Shu’s mother is the older sister and Lin Jin’s aunt.
The two sisters grew up supporting each other. The elder sister was gentle and kind, and was very tolerant of her younger sister. Therefore, even though the younger sister acted decisively, had a clear distinction between love and hate, and was like water and fire, the two of them rarely had any conflicts.
The sisterly love has not changed for more than 20 years.
Until my sister got married.
Every day after get off work, the younger sister would receive a call from her elder sister, who usually cried and talked about nothing but marital affairs.
Domestic violence, infidelity.
The younger sister tried to persuade her to leave many times, but the older sister finally said, "Forget it."
As a result, the two sisters gradually began to have differences on these topics.
Later, the younger sister got married, and the one who listened to her sister's crying complaints changed from the younger sister alone to the younger sister and her husband. Then, Xiao Lin Jin joined the group.
Once, the elder sister was beaten and sent to the hospital, and was discovered by her younger sister.
The younger sister was so angry that she broke into her sister's house, smashed the house into ruins, and tortured her brother-in-law, the bastard, both physically and mentally.
My sister is tough and she won't give in to anyone when she gets angry. If anyone is mean to her, she will fight to the death with him.
Therefore, my brother-in-law and his family looked at the deserted family and the stupid son, and no one dared to come out to stop them.
He shrank his head tremblingly and begged his sister to calm down, saying that they had been fighting for so many years and his body was fine.
When my sister heard this, she exploded again.
Because she could hear that this was not the first time, there had been four, five or six times before.
The younger sister made a big fuss again, and then went to the hospital at night to demand that her sister divorce immediately and take Xiao Zhengshu away.
But the younger sister was so angry that she almost fainted, and the older sister also hung her head and whispered: "Forget it, a man should follow his wife."
My sister finally fainted. Her disappointment had accumulated to such an extent that she felt she was a good person but not as good as she thought.
So he said, "It's up to you."
After saying that, she took her husband and Xiao Lin Jin on a plane and left that backward place overnight.
The elder sister knew that her younger sister was angry because all her contact information had been blocked.
She cried for a long time and asked relatives known to both sides to help her persuade her sister.
But the younger sister would block anyone who tried to persuade her, and after that, the elder sister never dared to contact her younger sister again.
Everyone thought that the two sisters had no contact anymore, but only Xiao Lin Jin knew that his aunt would save money every year to take the train or high-speed rail, traveling thousands of miles to see him secretly.
Sometimes when Xiaolin Jin saw her, she didn't hide, but just cried and said, "You look more and more like your mother."
Xiao Lin Jin looked at the haggard woman in front of him, not knowing how to react. His mother said that she was angry at her for being weak and feudal, but he always missed her.
My aunt was afraid that my mother would be angry, but she couldn't control herself. She used her meager money to buy him delicious food, bought him a big cake and gifts on his birthday, and came all the way to give him red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.
He persisted in this thousand-mile journey from his junior high school to his senior year of high school without missing a single time.
Later, my mother found out, but she pretended not to know.
Just said: "The red envelope is about to fall, put it away carefully."
However, due to the conflict between the adults, Zheng Shu and Lin Jin were forced to separate and they never had any contact again.
It was not until college that they reconnected when Zheng Shu was dragged away in the middle of the night to take care of Lin Jin because he owed Mu Xu a favor.
Later, when Zheng Shu was in his senior year and preparing to go for an internship, Lin Jin suddenly moved out.
Their contact was cut off again, and it has been like this until now.
When he was in college, Zheng Shu watched Mu Xu following Lin Jin and doing one thing after another. He thought he was quite careful, but he definitely couldn't be so meticulous.
Even after Lin Jin disappeared, Mu Xu continued to search for him.
Therefore, he always thought that Mu Xu had to be his cousin in this life.
When Zheng Shu heard the news that Mu Xu was getting married, he couldn't believe it.
In his opinion, Mu Xu has long been his family.
After a while of crying, Zheng Shu finally accepted this reality. When she got her phone and saw Mu Xu's message, she was stunned and started crying again.
He hugged his wife and cried loudly, mumbling: "Wife, wife, what do you think my cousin-in-law means?"
While we were still trying to figure out the meaning of Mu Xu's message, Mu Xu had already finished his dinner and was sitting at the coffee table to rest.
The two of them sat on the blanket, one doing work while the other played with his phone.
Mu Xu worked extremely hard. Apart from occasionally pulling the air-conditioning blanket over Lin Jin, he spent the rest of his time either making PPTs or writing.
On the contrary, Lin Jin was a little absent-minded while playing.
He tapped the screen, and finally chose to pause, poking Mu Xu with his index finger.
Mu Xu stopped, looked sideways at him, and raised his eyebrows in question.
Lin Jin stroked his hand and said, "Should we go see your parents?"
Mu Xu said "Hmm?" and asked, "Do you want to see them?"
Lin Jin did want to meet them, after all, they had helped him before, but he was still nervous, so he was conflicted for a while.
After hesitating for a while, I still felt that Aunt Mu’s health was the top priority.
So, he said, "Go see Aunt Mu as soon as possible and comfort her. Don't let her get angry and hurt herself. And—"
He paused, wanting to say something but holding back. In fact, he didn't really want to say it, but in the end he brought it up: "Why don't you find a partner sooner? Although it will take some time, if you find one and resolve it as soon as possible, you can avoid a lot of problems later."
He blinked, his long eyelashes fluttering. His pure and clean eyes stared straight at Mu Xu.
Mu Xu didn't respond. He was silent for a while, then raised his hand to cover his eyes.
Eyelashes flutter and palms itch slightly.
