Chapter 32

Jian Ming hardly went back to Tianxin 下ozhu for dinner this week. He was busy until late every day. When he got home, Mu Yao had already taken a shower and his eyelids were tired. It was a weekend. I called Jian Ming at noon and asked him if he could come back in the evening. The man said he would try his best, but when 6 o'clock came, he called back and said he couldn't leave, so he still spent the weekend dinner by himself.

 Mu Yao was bored and leaning on the sofa waiting for a brief rest. Even if he turned on the lights, he couldn't fill the silence in the room, so he took off his shoes and turned on the TV. The female anchor of the entertainment program on the screen opened and closed her lips in a bright and charming way, smiling coquettishly. The guests wore perfect and relaxed smiles and answered questions fluently, and they were all beaming with joy.

 Mu Yao threw away the remote control and lay down on the sofa, letting the clear conversation pour into his ears and then flow out unchanged. This week, he has not contacted YY, and the other party has not called. Mu Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly. YY must have misunderstood, but he couldn't explain it. Everything was his subjective conjecture. How could he regard it as true? People listen?

 In the midst of countless thoughts and confusion, when he heard the sound of the key turning, Mu Yao woke up, stood up and walked to the door with a wrinkled face.

 "下oyao, why don't you go to bed first?" Jian Ming put down his briefcase on the cabinet in the entrance and put his arms around the unhappy boy.

 "Wait and see if you come back home. If you don't, I can lock the door." Mu Yao said unhappily.

 "下oyao is at home, why can't I come back?" Jian Ming smiled, picked up the boy, sat on the sofa and coaxed him: "I'm sorry, I've been really busy during this period, and I'm so bored, baby."

 "It's okay," Mu Yao hugged Jian Ming and put his head comfortably into the crook of his neck. The annoyance just now gradually subsided: "I know you are busy, so you were joking casually."

 "Yes, I know. My 下oyao is so good," Jian Ming stroked the boy's soft black hair lovingly: "Tomorrow, we will invite the leaders of the cooperative units and the city government to spend a day at Lingbo Hot Spring Resort. You can go too."

 Lingbo Hot Spring is a seawater hot spring. It is located on the outskirts of city B. Mu Yao has never been there. Hearing what he said, he felt a little bit impatient: "But, although it is for fun, it is also work. I go... It's not a good idea, okay?" The city government leader also said Now, won't his leaving have a bad impact on Jian Jing?

 "Haha, it doesn't matter. I agreed to bring my family with me." Jian Ming smiled and kissed him: "You are so young, you are more worldly than me, and you have so many thoughts in your head, aren't you tired?"

 "I didn't do it for you..." Mu Yao glared at him. He was a student, so what should he worry about?

 "I know," Jian Ming's gentle eyes were full of love: "My dear, I know how to love my husband the most."

 "Get out!" The boy who had been mumbling softly just now jumped up in anger: "Don't you dare say that again!"

 "Well, I didn't say anything." Jian Ming immediately waved the white flag and coaxed Mao'er: "It's nonsense, only 下oyao's words are the truth."

 "Hmph, that's pretty much it." Mu Yao was amused by him and said, "What time are you going tomorrow? Do you want to stay overnight?"

 "Well, let's stay one night," Jian Ming stopped laughing, remembering to tell Mu Yao first: "By the way, they said they were bringing family members, but you know, when a group of men like this go out to relax, they will only bring ordinary playmates, understand. What do I mean?"

 "Oh... Got it." In fact, even if he didn't say it concisely, he would understand it after thinking about it. This would make him feel more relaxed, and he wouldn't have to consider those scruples.

 "Well, so follow me and don't run around," Jian Ming smiled and pinched his face: "Don't let people think that you were taken by me casually and took advantage of you."

 "What nonsense are you talking about?" Mu Yao blushed: "You think I'm a woman? What's the point of taking advantage and not taking advantage?"

 "It's true that she's not a woman," Jian Ming said with a bad smile, "Didn't you also let me take advantage of you?"

 Mu Yao punched him: "Do you deserve a beating?"

 Jian Ming smiled and hugged him tightly: "Yes, as long as 下oyao wants to be beaten, then I must deserve a beating."

 Mu Yao looked at the sky and lamented, why didn't he realize that this guy was a scoundrel from the beginning? He was really not a kind person.

 Lingbo Seawater Hot Spring Resort combines Chinese and Western architectural features and is a large, garden-style open-air hot spring with beautiful scenery. It is located at the southern foot of Hangou Mountain on the outskirts of the city. It can be reached by car in one hour from the city center. Jian Ming and Mu Yao went out late, and when they dropped off their simple luggage at the holiday villa, it happened to be lunch time.

 The two of them arrived at the hotel restaurant, where everyone else was almost there. Mu Yao followed Jian Ming and watched him shake hands with the people inside. He had seen Deputy Mayor Li Yunfeng in the city's news. He was a tall, muscular man in his mid-40s, who spoke with a strong voice and had a leadership style. Several other leaders from the Land and Resources Bureau and the Planning Bureau at the main table should all be the project leaders of the Lower Bay Area, but he didn't recognize them.

 Jian Ming didn't introduce him deliberately, and no one else cared. The leaders were accompanied by young and beautiful men and women. I wonder what kind of people Jian Ming brought to these occasions before? Mu Yao thought bitterly while chewing on the evidence. After just a few bites, I heard Director 下o from the Bureau of Land and Resources across the way shouting: "We just said that Jian Jian was too late to show off. You are even more shameful, Lu Sen. We are all waiting for you."

 "Hahahaha," Mu Yao heard a burst of hearty laughter and turned around to see Lu Sen walking in like the wind: "Everyone, leaders, please be patient. There is no way to deal with the traffic jam on the road. Our city's economic development is booming under the leadership of Mayor Li. , the growth rate of private cars is simply faster than a woman giving birth to a child." While joking, he had already walked to the table, holding a thin-legged glass between his two fingers, picked up the foreign wine next to him and drank half of it: "I will punish myself with three glasses. , apologize to all leaders."

 Li Yunfeng laughed and scolded: "You are late and you are beating around the bush to blame me. Can three glasses of wine spare you?" He handed over a bottle of 1983 five-star Moutai next to him: "What's so good about that foreign stuff? Come and fuck this Moutai." "

 "Okay, okay, I accept the punishment," Lu Sen sat down next to Li Yunfeng and said with a smile, "Let me put some things on the table first, so that we can start making trouble later."

 Mu Yao lowered his eyes, and sitting down with Lu Sen was YY. The small scratch from that day had scabbed off, and the light pink line was not conspicuous.

 The lunch was quite lively. During the meal, they talked loudly and exchanged cups. Li Yunfeng and Lu Sen obviously had a very close relationship. They were also very warm and polite to Jian Ming, but there was no obvious anger: "Why don't Jian Ming make a date with Gao Shi?" Let's get together with our elders. He drinks a lot and is as vigorous as his work style. His wine taste is excellent, much better than this kid Lu Sen."

 "He happened to have something to do and couldn't come. He asked us to have a good time and drink with you next time." Jian Ming explained with a smile. He stretched out his chopsticks to help Mu Yao pick up a piece of cold broccoli from the turntable in the distance, knowing that he likes that. . Mayor Gao was a child of Jian Ming, and Mu Yao had heard him mention it before.

 After more than an hour, the meal was finished, and the waiter brought the fruit bowl. Maybe everyone got up late during the holidays, so we chatted in the restaurant after the meal and decided not to take a lunch break, but to change into swimsuits and go to the hot springs. Mu Yao followed Jian Ming back to the villa to change clothes. As soon as he arrived at the hotel lobby, he was stopped by YY who had caught up.

 "You guys can talk first, I'll wait for you when I get back." Jian Ming noticed that the atmosphere between the two was unusual, so he avoided it considerately.

 "Yeah, okay." Seeing him walking away, Mu Yao and YY came to sit down on the leisure sofa in the lobby.

 "Mu Yao, I didn't know that bag of mud would fall down. We were standing together at that time." YY held her cigarette in her mouth without looking at him.

 "I know, I never thought about it this way..." Mu Yao said anxiously, regretting that he didn't contact YY first. He was even more sad than him: "I'm afraid you misunderstood, and I don't know how Lu Sen could..."

 "I understand, don't you have your heart set on Jian Ming?" YY looked back and smiled: "I was in a bad mood at the time. You were so scared that you didn't say anything nice, but we have been brothers for so many years, so I think you won't mind."

 "Of course, I'm very happy that you don't mind." Mu Yao said solemnly: "YY, don't worry, Lu Sen definitely doesn't have any other intentions for me when he saves me. He...may have something to do with my mother. ."

 "Your mother?" YY asked confused: "Last time your mother asked for Lu Sen, didn't you say they didn't know her?"

 "Later I found out that they had known each other more than ten years ago." Mu Yao didn't want to go into details: "It may be related to my life experience, but I don't know the details."

 "In this way..." YY looked at him without questioning, and smiled: "No wonder he thinks he is very interested in you. He happened to be in Japan when you burned your leg. You told him about it and asked if you would like to bring some scar removal medicine. for you."

 "Oh, really?" Mu Yao frowned and said, "Are there any cigarettes left?"

 "Yes, you don't smoke now?" YY took out the cigarette case and handed it to Mu Yao.

 "Occasionally, I don't have it with me." Mu Yao took a cigarette and gave it back to YY.

 "Take it, I just grabbed it from the table. I don't like this brand." YY pushed it back to him: "Then let's go to the hot spring and talk. I also want to go to the mall to buy a pair of swimming trunks. I have the ones at home. I forgot to bring it with me when I went to the beach the first time."

 "Well, okay." Mu Yao stood up and walked out with him. When they reached the central fountain, YY said goodbye and left.

 Mu Yao sat next to the fountain, took a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it. When he burned his leg, Mu Yaoyi hadn't come to Jian Ming yet, so why did Lu Sen want to bring him scar medicine? Mu Yao was smoking without a clue, his mind was in a mess. Did he notice something when he met Lu Sen's car on the road after visiting the mall with Mu Yaoyi?

 "Kid, why didn't you go to the hot springs?" Mu Yao was startled. He turned around and saw that Director 下o of the Bureau of Land and Resources, who was in his 40s and had a rosy face, had sat down next to him. He smelled of alcohol and immediately rushed over: "Baking in the sun. Smoking is not good for your health."

 "Haha, I'll go right away." Mu Yao replied, feeling uncomfortable and standing up to leave.

 "Wait a minute, I didn't bring a cigarette. Do you have one?" Director 下o rubbed his temples and said, "I drank too much, smoke one."

 "Oh, yes." Mu Yao stood still, took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

 Director 下o stretched out his hand to take one, pushed the cigarette case back to Mu Yao, and touched the back of his hand with his fingers as if nothing had happened. Mu Yao immediately got goosebumps. This man looked so good-looking, but why was he so disgusted? He was about to turn around and leave.

 "Hey, I'm not angry." Director 下o stopped him with a smile.

 Mu Yao turned back helplessly and took out a lighter to him. The man did not answer it, but held a cigarette in his mouth and motioned for Mu Yao to light it for him. Mu Yao was extremely disgusted, but he thought that these people were simple project partners, and it would not be good if they were stiff, so he endured it and handed it over while lighting it.

 Director 下o stretched out his hand to block the flames, lit a cigarette and asked, "Do you know what this smoke looks like?"

 "What does it look like?" Mu Yao asked perfunctorily.

 Director 下o stared playfully at Mu Yao who straightened up, put the cigarette in his mouth, took a deep breath and spat out: "Like the white, slender penis you have down there."

 Mu Yao was so angry that his forehead was filled with blood, and he turned around to leave, but the man immediately followed him and reached out to put his hand on his shoulder. Mu Yao was so angry that he just wanted to wave his hand away, but was suddenly taken a few steps away by a hand next to him, which shocked him. Look back.

 "Why didn't Mr. 下o go to the hot springs? You spent time chatting with your nephew. He is an ignorant child, so he is so boring to talk to." Lu Sen held Mu Yao's arm with one hand and said to Mr. 下o with a smile.

 "Oh, ah, haha," Mr. 下o suddenly smiled and said, "It turns out he is a wise nephew. I thought... I saw him staying alone in the sun, and he just wanted to smoke a cigarette, so we chatted for a few words. That's okay , I'll go back and change my clothes first, I won't accompany you anymore." Then he turned and walked towards the villa area.

 Lu Sen let go of Mu Yao's arm, stared at him and smiled ambiguously: "How can you run around alone in a place like this, and Jian Ming doesn't even care about you?"

 "..." Mu Yao blushed, and Lu Sen's piercing dark eyes and teasing tone made him confused as to what to reply.

 "下oyao, why are you still here?" Mu Yao heard the concise voice coming from behind: "Lu Sen, you are here too, didn't you go to the hot spring?"

 "Haha, let's go. I just chatted with Mayor Li for a few more words before I came out." After Lu Sen finished speaking, he left with a smile.

 "What are you telling him?" they asked briefly as they walked back together.

 "It's nothing. I just went to the mall for sex, and I happened to meet him when I came back alone." Mu Yao didn't want to mention Director 下o. Not only would he feel disgusted, but he would also make Jian Ming unhappy. This man can't even tie a few buttons on the collar of his clothes. Everyone is in charge of him, and if he wants to speak out, he is not allowed to be locked at home.
