Chapter 62
In the morning of the next day, Jing Yu deliberately went back to the headquarters and secretly drove back the Cayenne from last night.
He lied to Mu Chi about the painting and calligraphy that he brought back last night, the one from Mr. Zhao, saying that it was from his partner. Mu Chi had already promised to take him with him when he went to Dean Zhang's house for dinner next time, and he would send it out in person.As for the "Salvator Mundi", he lied to Mu Chi that it was a fake from an auction, and Mu Chi had no doubts, boasting that the artistry of the fake was as good as the real one, and he dragged him to ask who the seller was, but he could only lie and say it was Anonymous auctions just prevaricate.
Around noon, Jingyu set off from the headquarters and went to the community to pick up Muchi.
After getting in the car, Mu Chi was about to fasten his seat belt, but Jing Yu stopped him, "I'll do it." While speaking, he leaned over, pulled the seat belt on Mu Chi's right side, and buckled it up for him.
Of course, a kiss was stolen by the way.
Mu Chi glared at him, and said, "Take Yangshan Road, there is a flower shop by the roadside, bring a bouquet of perfume lilies to Teacher Bai's lover."
"it is good."
"Teacher Bai said," Mu Chi looked sideways at Jing Yu, "You promised him to be a guest?"
"Huh?" A smile curled up on the corners of Jing Yu's lips, "He said he wanted to thank you, and asked me if I would come or not, so I just went with the flow."
"Your skin..." Mu Chi pouted, "It's so thick."
"...Thank you for the compliment."
It was nearly five o'clock when the two arrived at Teacher Bai's house.
"Mu Chi, Jing Yu", Teacher Bai greeted, "Why do you still buy flowers?" He took the flowers in Mu Chi's hand and placed them in the big flower basket on the table by the wall.
The two entered the door and changed their slippers.
A person protruded from the kitchen, it was Bai Qiushuang's mother-in-law, whom Mu Chi met at the wedding.
Jingyu said hello, "Aunt Yang."
Mu Chi looked at him in surprise.
Ms. Yang responded, and then said with a smile, "I didn't expect Jingyu to really come. Qiushuang told me that I still didn't believe it. Mr. Xu is a busy man."
"You are joking."
Ms. Yang's gaze turned to Mu Chi again, "This is Mr. Cheng, I met him at the wedding, thanks to your help."
Mu Chi smiled, "It should."
"Come, come, come and sit," Bai Qiushuang greeted them.
After Jingyu and Muchi sat down, Bai Qiushuang poured tea again.
"This is the tea that Mu Chi gave me last time. I have to say, Auntie is very skilled at growing tea, and our family loves to drink it."
Mu Chi laughed, "My mother should be proud when she hears that."
"Is this tea grown by Teacher Cheng's mother? Qiushuang also brought some for our family, and they all said it was delicious." Ms. Yang said, "Originally, my family's Lao Ye would also come today, saying that he wanted to catch up with Jingyu. Stopped by me, young people are partying and he is an old man, what's the fun?" Ms. Yang is very hearty, "I'll come over and add some food for you, and I will leave after I finish, so I won't disturb your play."
Bai Qiushuang said: "Mom, you can stay and eat together."
"No, no, don't keep me, I can't go with you young people," Ms. Yang repeatedly evaded, "I'll leave in a while."
"Okay." Bai Qiushuang looked at Jing Yu and Mu Chi again, "Xiao Mo went downstairs to buy some fruit, you two have a rest, and we'll have dinner in ten minutes."
After the meal was ready, Ms. Yang insisted on leaving, but Bai Qiushuang couldn't keep her, so she could only let her go.
Several people chatted while waiting for Ye Mo.
"Speaking of which," Bai Qiushuang said, "Will Mu Chi go to London next month?"
Twilight nodded.
"Coincidentally, I just have something for you." Bai Qiushuang walked into the study.
Jing Yu looked at Mu Chi in surprise, "Mu Chi, are you going to London?"
"Well, to participate in an international art camp." Mu Chi seemed to be thinking, "Didn't I tell you?"
"...No", Jingyu felt aggrieved, "When? How long will you be going?"
"The plan is on the 12th of next month. I haven't bought a ticket yet. It's estimated to be half a month." Mu Chi smiled, "Why, Mr. Xu is busy and wants to follow?"
Jingyu raised his eyebrows in the morning and evening, "It's not impossible to work hard, and I just want to see how the overseas business is doing."
"..."
When Bai Qiushuang came back again, she took an envelope, "A friend sent an invitation letter for the Toruń Art Exhibition, which will be held at the Victoria Museum in July. You can go and see it when you have time."
Mu Chi took the envelope, the gold-edged invitation was full of weight, "Two?"
"Yes," Bai Qiushuang said with a smile, "I originally planned to go on vacation with Xiaomo and watch the exhibition, but my parents called and said they would come to play next month, so the plan had to be cancelled."
The exhibition is very rare, and Mu Chi readily accepted it, "Then I will be disrespectful."
Jing Yu took the invitation letter from Mu Chi and looked it over.
While speaking, the door opened, and a beautiful long-haired woman walked in.
Ye Mo greeted heartily, "The guests have already arrived?" Seeing the bouquet of lilies on the table again, the smile in his eyes became even bigger, "You brought flowers?"
Bai Qiushuang took the fruit in her hand, "I'll just wait for you."
After exchanging pleasantries, several people formally opened the meal.
Because of Mu Chi's taste, the dishes are relatively light, only pickled pepper fish maw and cold fish are a bit spicy.
Bai Qiushuang got up and filled them with a bowl of soup, "Muchi can't eat seafood, so I didn't prepare shrimp and crab. This crystal meat dish was reserved at Guanhua Hotel. The steamed sea bass and Madrid stew were made by my mother-in-law. Xiaomo and I cooked the other dishes together."
Ye Mo smiled and said, "Is Mu Chi allergic to heavy flavors? Qiu Shuang told me many times that I must put less seasoning."
Mu Chi was stunned for a moment, then said, "Well, my body doesn't allow it."
Jing Yu pursed his lips, took a sip of soup to cover up.Mu Chi has too many stimulant hormones in his body, not only heavy mouthfuls, even emotional agitation can trigger a stress response.
"That's good, it won't be easy to get three highs in the future," Ye Mo continued, "Qiu Shuang can't control herself and always eats greasy food. Don't look at him so thin, he actually has a fatty liver."
Bai Qiushuang interrupted her with a smile, "Okay, don't expose your husband's background."
Ye Mo glared at him, then looked at Mu Chi with a smile, "My cousin Yang Zheng often mentioned you to me, several times he wanted to go to University A to look for you under the name of looking for Qiushuang, but I stopped him every time. I can't bear to hit him, he's fooling around all day long, how can he compare with Jing Yu?"
"...Yang Zheng actually worked very hard." Mu Chi responded with a smile.He should be working hard, working hard to start a career, and I haven't been looking for him recently.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crushing feeling on his feet, Mu Chi ignored it, but from the corner of his eye, he saw Jing Yu secretly glaring at him.
Bai Qiushuang was stunned, "Xiao Zheng also knows Mu Chi? He never told me."
Ye Mo smiled and said, "You always look rigid and dogmatic, how dare he gossip with you?...Hey, Qiushuang, listen, is there someone knocking on the door?"
The atmosphere quieted down.
"Knock down."
Bai Qiushuang got up, walked to the door, and opened it.
"Brother-in-law!" Yang Zheng jumped into the door.
The other three looked out the door one after another.
"Xiao Zheng", Bai Qiushuang was surprised, pointing to the long cardboard box behind him, "What is this?"
"Air purifier," Yang Zheng greeted the person carrying the box behind, "Come in, put it on gently."
Ye Mo heard the voice and came over.
Her almond eyes widened, "Air purifier?"
"Sister," Yang Zheng called out, "Aren't you worried that formaldehyde will seep through the decoration upstairs? It just so happened that our partner sent a batch of purifiers, and I'll bring you one."
"Really? I don't even remember," Ye Mo said with a smile, "Ah Zheng has a heart."
"Of course, for my goodness, what I told you about Mr. Cheng last time..."
Jingyu and Muchi also looked out the door.
From Yang Zheng's perspective, he could only see Mu Chi, who was extremely excited, "Teacher Cheng!"
Mu Chi: "Good evening."
Yang Zheng was elated, and winked at Ye Mo, "Sister, I didn't know you were so efficient, did you finally think about your brother's lifelong affairs!"
"Uh..." Ye Mo was dumbfounded, Yang Zheng was indeed always pestering her, asking her to invite Mu Chi to his house through his lover.But her cousin, who messes around with people every day, and now wants to chase Qiushuang's colleague, she has clearly rejected it many times, and must not let him mess around with acquaintances, otherwise how will Qiushuang behave in the future?
Bai Qiushuang didn't understand, so, "What is a lifelong event? Xiaozheng has a girl he likes... er no, young man?"
"This is so far away..." Yang Zheng took two steps forward excitedly, Jing Yu appeared in his line of sight, his pupils dilated, and his words got stuck.
Jing Yu looked at him with no expression on his face.
Bai Qiushuang said, "Mu Chi and Jing Yu are here as guests, have you eaten with Xiao Zheng, let's come and eat together." After speaking, his eyes turned to Jing Yu and Mu Chi, "I don't mind having one more person."
Mu Chi: "It's okay, we are all old acquaintances."
Jingyu: "..."
"I..." Yang Zheng didn't react, he sat blankly on the chair brought by Bai Qiushuang, his eyes glanced back and forth at Mu Chi and Jing Yu, his voice was erratic, "Why did you come together?"
Bai Qiushuang smiled and said, "I invited you."
Yang Zheng was in a daze, "Oh."
Ye Mo also greeted, "Come, let's eat."
Yang Zheng was eating, but he looked up at Mu Chi from time to time.
Jing Yu didn't like it, picked up the serving chopsticks and added a piece of fish, shaved off the small thorns in the meat, and put it on Mu Chi's plate.
"I shaved off the thorns, you can eat at ease."
Bai Qiushuang looked at the two of them with an aunt smile.
Ye Mo secretly glanced at Yang Zheng.Now that he saw Jingyu and Muchi together, he should retreat in spite of the difficulties.
Mu Chi glanced at Jing Yu indifferently, picked up the fish and ate it slowly.
Yang Zheng had a strange expression on his face, and he was not to be outdone. He also picked up a piece of fish, picked the thorn, stood up, crossed the whole table, and put it on Mu Chi's plate, "Mr. Cheng, I shaved clean too. you eat."
Ye Mo: "..."
Bai Qiushuang's pupils trembled, and he didn't understand what Yang Zheng meant.
Jing Yu didn't even look at Yang Zheng, picked up Mu Chi's soup bowl again, got up and filled it up for him, "Mu Chi, drink some more soup, don't choke."
Mu Chi: "...Thank you."
Yang Zheng frowned, stood up again, filled a spoonful of fish maw with pickled peppers with a public spoon, crossed the table, and put it in Mu Chi's bowl.
"Mr. Cheng, eat fish maw. My aunt specially asked someone to airlift it from the seaside."
Bai Qiushuang and Ye Mo were already stunned.
Jing Yu burst out laughing, the enemy actually took the initiative to give away the head.
He took Mu Chi's plate directly, and passed his own plate to Mu Chi, saying, "This one has a strong taste, I'll eat it for you."
Mu Chi was numb, "Oh, thank you."
Yang Zheng was not happy, "Hey, Xu Jingyu, Teacher Cheng didn't say no to eating, what are you doing?"
Jing Yu glanced at Mu Chi tenderly, then changed his face for a second, and looked at Yang Zheng expressionlessly, "Mu Chi can't eat spicy food, salty food, or sweet food."
"You're talking nonsense, the last time Mu Chi and I were in City N, Mu Chi obviously ate fish heads with chopped peppers!"
Jing Yu looked at Mu Chi with an aggrieved face, as if blaming him for breaking the stage.
Mu Chi said in a low voice, "Great kindness is hard to turn down."
Yang Zheng's face froze.
Bai Qiushuang stood up and said, "I'll get Mu Chi a new dinner plate."
"No, Teacher Bai," Mu Chi stopped him, "I'll just use Jingyu's."
Jing Yu's brows and eyes stretched.
Yang Zheng pursed his lips and remained silent, his eyelashes drooping.
Ye Mo also came out to smooth things over, "Mu Chi really can't eat heavy food, Ah Zheng, you should eat your own food, don't put food across the table."
Jingyu's joy grew stronger and stronger, and he picked up another piece of fish, shaved off the tiny spines, and put it in Mu Chi's bowl.
