Soon, Mu Baizhi also felt that Ruan Zaiqing was acting strangely, and thought that he was unhappy because of the disagreement on the ring or other items.
At first, Mu Baizhi tried to talk to Ruan Zaiqing nicely, but in the end, she found that he was still so cold and indifferent, and she got angry. On a sunny afternoon, after a beautiful afternoon tea, Mu Baizhi said:
"Ruan Zaiqing, if you don't want to get married, then we won't get married."
After saying that, Mu Baizhi went into the room and locked the door.
No matter who knocks, the door won't open.
Afterwards, Mu Ruanruan received a text message from her saying that she planned to treat Ruan Zaiqing and asked them not to interfere in the matter and not to worry about her.
Mu Ruanruan hinted to Mu Mingda and Ye Qian, and in the end, only Ruan Zaiqing was left anxious.
Seeing an old lady in her sixties and approaching seventy so anxious and angry, Mu Ruanruan really couldn't bear it, but she didn't dare to disobey her grandmother's orders, so she took a different approach.
In fact, both of them love each other very much, but they are not good at expressing it.
Perhaps it takes some experience for them to truly realize their importance in each other's hearts. After more than 40 years of separation, they have long lost their original passion and become unconfident.
They are afraid that the other person will disappear accidentally, and that their position in the other person's heart has quietly changed over such a long time.
Especially Ruan Zaiqing, who looked full of confidence, and could talk and laugh freely in front of anyone, with a confident and generous attitude, and a leadership temperament, but he was still worried in front of Mu Baizhi.
For more than forty years, she had been with someone else. The moment Ruan Zaiqing found out, he knew he shouldn't take it to heart, but he was still extremely jealous of that person.
She was jealous that he could be with Mu Baizhi, guard her, and grow old with her.
They must have been very happy once.
Many times, he looked at Mu Baizhi's back and her beautiful smile, and he would think that she must have been so happy in front of him.
The concern for the missed time in the past and the regret for that period of time in the past are the faint scars deep in Ruan Zaiqing's heart.
And he hid it so well that Mu Baizhi never noticed even though she was with him every day.
Now, she thought he was unhappy because of the disagreement about wedding items. Ruan Zaiqing didn't want her to see through him, so he just agreed.
In order to untie this knot, Ruan Zaiqing needs to feel for himself how important he is in Mu Baizhi's heart. Only in this way can he become the high-spirited and middle-aged man he used to be, the man who has been waiting for her for more than forty years.
Mu Baizhi stayed in the room for two days. On the morning of the third day, Mu Ruanruan took Ruan Zaiqing out.
Ruan Zaiqing rarely goes out, and when he does, he always brings an entourage with him, sometimes two, sometimes three or five.
This time, he didn't bring anyone with him, and the two of them just went out for a stroll, enjoying their free time like retired grandfathers.
The two of them bought some drinks and some snacks and watched a movie, which was an anti-Japanese war film.
"The acting was good, but a little exaggerated. The actual scene was much more difficult than this." He commented when he came out.
Mu Ruanruan had not experienced that period, so she just listened and bought a bottle of lemon ice and some grilled skewers for her grandfather and herself.
Ruan Zaiqing found a random seat in the mall. He rarely drinks outside, so he was pleasantly surprised after taking a sip of the drink. "This is sour and sweet, really delicious."
After a while, he finished drinking it with a gulp.
"Ruan Ruan, grandpa wants another drink."
The drink was ice cold. Although it was summer now, the old man's health was important and it was not good for him to drink too much, so Mu Ruanruan bought him a bottle at room temperature.
"Well, it's not bad, but it's still not as good as the icy one just now."
After eating snacks and drinking drinks, Ruan Zaiqing wanted to sit for a while longer. From this position, he could see people coming and going in the mall, and he could also see the bustling crowd outside through the glass wall.
Ruan Zaiqing likes to watch the crowds. Every time he sees a bustling place and a group of people having fun, he will smile knowingly.
In those years, those people paid an unimaginable price for these peaceful and bustling streets. In Ruan Zaiqing's view, these were things that were not easily obtained.
But he didn't sit there for long. Worried that Mu Ruanruan would be bored, the two of them continued to stroll around.
The two of them didn't have anything in particular they wanted to buy, so they just walked around and unknowingly came to the game hall. Their eyes lit up, they looked at each other and went in.
The game hall didn’t have as many equipment as modern ones, but there were still a lot of fun things to do.
The two of them bought a handful of game coins. Ruan Zaiqing liked games like shooting and boxing, while Mu Ruanruan liked games like catching dolls and throwing sandbags.
Everyone took the game coins and played separately. Mu Ruanruan tried to catch the dolls for a long time but couldn't catch any. Dejected, she threw sandbags. After throwing for a long time, she only hit five. She needed at least ten to get a medium-sized doll.
If Mu Ruanruan wants that little white bear, she needs to win ten of them.
She ran and bought another fifty coins.
Finally, thirteen were hit.
The boss took out a bigger white bear, more than twice the size of the previous one, and asked Mu Ruanruan, "Do you want to try this? It's a good deal. You can get it if you win thirty of them."
As he spoke, he put the two bears together for comparison. Wow, there's a stark difference between a little furry bear and an adult one.
"You've already hit thirteen, and you still have seventeen to go. And after so much practice, your technique is definitely getting better. Believe in yourself, keep going, you can do it."
After a round of brainwashing, Mu Ruanruan looked at the remaining thirty coins in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and nodded vigorously.
