Chapter 81 "Unexpected Joy"

In the few days after seeing Yu Yifeng, before Mu Qing walked into the classroom every time, her mood would subconsciously tense up for a moment.He was really worried that after opening the door one day, the person he didn't want to see would appear again in a certain row of the classroom.

But maybe what he said on the day of the reunion played a role, or maybe it was some other reason, after that day, Yu Yifeng never appeared in front of Mu Qing again.

He seems to have really given up.

For such an ending, Mu Qing should have been happy to see it happen.But for some reason, while he was relieved, his mood was not as relaxed and happy as he imagined.Especially when the end of the period is approaching, once he is free, he will always consciously or unconsciously think of Yu Yifeng's red eye sockets and that almost desperate but still stubborn look that day.

Obviously it was me who said it decisively, but it was me who couldn't forget it. Mu Qing felt that this was unreasonable, obviously he was never a person who likes to drag things around.

After Gong Shichen heard his troubles, he understood his mood very well: "A kitten and puppy have been raised for half a year, and the sudden separation will make people feel uncomfortable, let alone a living person? A person like you Emotions are normal, and it will get better after a while."

Mu Qing naturally understands the truth of what he said, but it is one thing to understand it, but another thing to be able to let go of it.

The person who should have gradually faded in memory over time has become clear again because of that unexpected episode, but the past is already a mess, and he doesn't want to let himself fall into the same inextricable quagmire as before. .

It was already extremely cold in St. Petersburg in December. When Mu Qing came to the teacher's lounge with her homework, the sky outside the window was cloudy and snowflakes were flying.

After saying hello to the people already in the lounge, Mu Qing went straight to the seat by the window, opened the homework in his hand, looked at the flamboyant handwriting on it and the half-wrong answer, sighed resignedly, and frowned. Frowning patiently, he made marks one by one, put down the pen in his hand after the revision, and was about to get up and move around, when a beautiful small box was suddenly placed in front of him.

Fingers painted with colorful nail polish turned the small box, and in the transparent box cover, a cute pink bunny showed a silly smile at Mu Qing.

"Merry Christmas!"

In the passionate female voice, Mu Qing raised his head and looked at the fiery red-haired Spanish colleague in front of him: "Thank you, Elena, but isn't Christmas on the seventh of next month?"

Elena grabbed another handful of brightly colored candies and put them in front of him: "It's true in their local area, but I'm Spanish, and I celebrate ours."

After she finished speaking, she whistled and continued to distribute cakes in the not-so-big lounge. Congratulations and questions rang out one after another, and the atmosphere instantly became lively, which also dispelled the vague depression in Mu Qing's heart.

He unwrapped the little cake given by Elena, took off the little spoon stuck to it, dug a spoonful from the little rabbit's head, and put it in his mouth.

The dense and sweet taste melts instantly in the mouth, and the white chocolate filling adds a sense of richness to the taste.The corners of Mu Qing's lips curled up, and he couldn't help saying: "It's delicious."

"It's delicious!" After handing out the cake, Yi Lianna returned to the position opposite Mu Qing, looked at his stretched eyebrows, and smiled triumphantly, "I got it in a lottery at the cake shop near the school! A box of six cupcakes, just enough for one for each of us who have classes today!"

"Lucky draw?" Mu Qing looked at the very delicate cake in his hand, and said sincerely, "Then your luck is indeed very good."

Yi Lianna raised her eyebrows, and was about to introduce this cake shop to him in detail, when a voice suddenly came from beside her:

"A new cake shop? Is it the one on the commercial street?"

"Yes!" Elena looked at the blonde girl sitting in the corner, and asked her with a smile, "Mr. Yulia, do you like dessert too?"

Yulia sighed: "Frankly speaking, these desserts are really attractive to me. But I'm losing weight recently, so I can't buy more, so I have to bypass that commercial street every day when I go to work. I'm really exhausted!"

She was full of sadness, but Yi Lianna was still hearty: "Don't worry about these things, Yulia! Happiness is the most important thing, so what are you afraid of if you are fat! Can't you just come back from exercise?"

Yulia shook her head: "I'd rather refrain from eating dessert than exercise."

"Okay." Yi Lianna shrugged, "Then I wish you a figure like Mr. Mu who can't get fat no matter what."

Sitting quietly by the window and eating cake, she didn't participate in the women's topic, but Mu Qing, who was suddenly mentioned, blinked, met the unanimous gazes of several female teachers in the office, and slowly put down the spoon in her hand: "Actually, The main reason is that I don’t usually eat cakes.”

"Teacher Mu really doesn't eat cakes." The only male teacher in the office wiped his mouth with his wife's new handkerchief, and said slowly, "He just likes sweets for breakfast, lunch and dinner."

Mu Qing:......

He smiled wryly, and looked helplessly at the gray-haired old man: "Professor Sergey, you—"

Professor Sergey pretended not to hear, picked up the briefcase in hand, and walked out quickly: "My wife said that I made delicious beetroot soup tonight, and I'm going home first, goodbye everyone!"

After he finished tricking Mu Qing, he left without any burden in his heart, and Mu Qing was left alone to accept the "torture" of the female teacher in the office, explaining things like "This is not magic from the East, it's just that I have a special constitution." and "My blood sugar is perfectly normal" type of question.It was not until half an hour later that Mu Qing finally escaped from the office with difficulty.

However, these teachers themselves didn't really want to learn something from Mu Qing, but he was usually too gentlemanly and modest, as elegant as a perfect character invented by a novelist, this time he managed to reveal a little Everyone saw the different attitude from usual, so they just wanted to take the opportunity to chat a little more.

The temperature in the corridor was obviously much colder than the teacher's lounge, but Mu Qing didn't stop to straighten her coat, but walked out quickly

Although he didn't dislike the normal communication with his colleagues, he still had no interest in participating in this women's tea party.

Mu Qing walked out of the teaching building along the corridor, and the bitter cold wind came with snow, announcing the extreme coldness of today.

He tidied up the scarf that was almost blown away, and walked out along the main road.But when he reached the school gate, he didn't go in the direction of going home, but turned around and came to the commercial street next to the school.

The small cakes that Elena distributed today were really delicious. He lived not far from the school, and it only took ten minutes to go around the commercial street to buy some and take them home.

He walked towards the commercial street in the wind and snow, groping in his pockets, trying to find the business card of the shop that Yi Lianna just forced him.But as soon as the business card was touched in his hand, a tantalizing fragrance suddenly rushed over along the cold winter wind.

The smell was so enticing that Mu Qing subconsciously looked in the direction of the scent, and the warm lighting and cute cake shop suddenly came into view.

It seems that there is no need to look for business cards and addresses.

Mu Qing wrapped the scarf tightly, braved the wind and snow and walked towards the shop.

The moment the door was opened, there was a stronger fruity and milky scent than the one I smelled just now. In the sound of "ding dong", the shop assistant's enthusiastic greetings came to Mu Qing's ears in one order: "good evening !"

"Good evening." Mu Qing responded, but did not immediately walk further inside.

His glasses had a thin layer of frost due to the sudden change in temperature, and the opaque white was tightly covered on the surface of the glasses. He had to take off the glasses temporarily, and took out the cloth towel that he carried with him to wipe it carefully.

The cashier girl behind the counter was drowsy when she saw Mu Qing who walked into the store with a face that was obviously a foreigner, and a photo that was obviously much better looking than ordinary people even though she had a different aesthetic. face, eyes suddenly lit up.

She immediately took out her mobile phone and flipped through the photos in the album. After checking with the person at the door carefully, she quickly sent a message to the work group in the store: Attention!That person seems to be here!

At the same time, the blond clerk who was slowly putting bread in front of the transparent glass cabinet also sent a message: Confirmed that he looks exactly the same as the photo given by the boss.

After a moment of silence, the group suddenly became lively:

--Wow!

--OK!

——[Maomao nods]

.......

Mu Qing naturally didn't know how the dark tide was raging in their group.After the mist on the glasses cleared, he put them back on and began to observe the products displayed in the dessert cabinet of this store.

The storefront of this store is not small, and the variety of desserts is also very complete, or in other words, some are too complete.In addition to the common types of desserts, there are also famous desserts from other countries in the clear and clean glass cabinets, including various Chinese-style crisps and cakes.

The clerk who was paying close attention to his movements saw him standing in front of the Chinese dessert cabinet, immediately followed him, and introduced with a smile: "This is a Chinese dessert called 'Peach Blossom Shortbread', very delicious. ! If the guest is curious, would you like me to take a piece for you to taste?"

Mu Qing looked at his overly enthusiastic smile, raised his eyebrows, and declined his kindness lightly: "Thank you, no need."

He was about to look at other desserts, but the blond boy followed him step by step and began to introduce: "Actually, we didn't have so many kinds in our store, but our boss said that his wife likes desserts very much. The boss hopes that when that 'he' comes to the store one day, he can find any dessert he wants to eat, so he has prepared so many desserts."

The little brother deliberately accentuated the "he" which means masculine, and Mu Qing naturally didn't miss his almost explicit hint.

Such a thing as homosexuality is not popular in many countries, especially in the land he is stepping on, it can be called heresy.The clerk hinted this way, probably because he hoped to ask more questions, so that he could talk about a deep relationship to create a character.But no matter what his purpose was, Mu Qing didn't want to hear such routine stories anymore.

He is allergic to love love love.

Therefore, after hearing this, Mu Qing just smiled slightly: "Really? Then they must be very happy."

Bro:..........

The words he had prepared were blocked by Mu Qing's throat, and seeing "Don't disturb me" almost written on Mu Qing's face, he could only feel sorry for a moment in his heart before returning to his original position.

The sound of the wind and snow outside had subsided, and Mu Qing planned to take advantage of this time to go home, so he randomly chose a few desserts he liked.When he came to the counter to check out, the cashier girl said to him with a warm smile: "Sir, recently we have a lucky draw in our store, as long as you buy desserts and pay the bill, you can draw a lottery. Do you want to try it?"

Mu Qing was not very keen on this kind of activities, so he declined again: "Thank you, but I don't really need it."

"But it's free!" Seeing that he didn't want to participate, the cashier girl immediately tensed up, "After paying the bill, it's equivalent to participating in the lottery. You don't need to do anything extra, don't worry!"

"Sorry, I—" Mu Qing originally wanted to refuse, but after seeing her expression, his tone suddenly stopped subtly.

How does she look at herself, why is she so eager to see some grand prize?

Thinking about it carefully, since entering this cake shop, the enthusiasm of the shop assistants around seems to have completely surpassed the enthusiasm for treating a customer.

He subconsciously glanced back into the store, peeking at him through the transparent glass cabinet, and the clerk who was peeking at him while slowly replenishing the bread all immediately looked away.

Reminiscent of the large box of unbelievably exquisite and delicious desserts that Elena won unexpectedly this afternoon, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be some truth that he didn't really want to know, and it was about to be revealed in front of him.

Just one more little experiment.

He looked into the eyes of the cashier girl, and smiled softly: "Since you are so persistent--well, I will participate."

Seeing that the target that was about to fly away suddenly returned to her hand, the cashier girl immediately turned from surprise to joy, and helped him pay the bill with a smile on her face. The moment the receipt was spat out, an exaggerated smile appeared on her face: "Mr. God! You are so lucky! You won the first prize in our store!"

Mu Qing stood in front of the counter, listening quietly to her introduction of the rewards she was about to receive with an exorbitant volume. After hearing "free desserts for life" and "you can ask the shop owner to help you make any desserts you want", she still couldn't help it. I couldn't help but sighed: "Is this really a free lottery in your store?"

"Of course!" The cashier girl smiled so hard that her face froze, "Our boss said that since we want to send blessings when the New Year is approaching, of course we have to send them bigger!"

"Is that so." Mu Qing lowered his eyelids and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Excuse me, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, you can ask whatever you want!" The cashier girl was enthusiastic.

"Is your 'boss' a Chinese?"

The cashier girl blinked, and finally realized belatedly that she seemed to have screwed up.

Her eyes fluttered around the store as if asking for help, and the little brother who pretended to be arranging the shelves finally couldn't help it anymore, walked out and said to Mu Qing: "Sir, our boss is just upstairs, if you need to order desserts now , do you want to go upstairs and have a chat with him in person?"

"Just right?" Mu Qing tasted the word, and after a moment of silence, he did not agree as the two shop assistants thought, "Forget it, I don't need to customize desserts now."

After he finished speaking, he put the amount payable on the counter, turned around and was about to go out, but before he took a few steps, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps upstairs: "Sir, please wait a moment." !"

Mu Qing turned around, and the fat baker had rushed to the door with agility that didn't match his figure, blocking his way: "Sir, our boss heard the news that someone won the lottery upstairs, and he treats you very much." Curious, and there happens to be a freshly made dessert at hand, would you like to taste it first?"

At this time, it was time to get off work, and the number of people in the store gradually increased.

Feeling the eyes of people around him gradually gathering on him, Mu Qing sighed in compromise: "Okay, then I'll go see him."
