Then when they returned to the gate of the community, Lin Xi went to the fruit and vegetable store to buy vegetables and also bought more than ten pieces of sugar orange.
Not long after they got home, the heavy rain that had been in the dark sky for a long time finally came crashing down.
Lin Xi was in a good mood because of finding a new job and it was rare to stand on the balcony to enjoy the rainy scenery for a while.
The little guy pushed open the floor-to-ceiling door of the balcony, stood beside her right leg, and watched with her quietly.
Lin Xi gently put her hand on her small shoulder and asked her warmly, "Is there any homework today?"
"Chengcheng is still a child." The little guy raised her head to look at her and explained in a milky voice: "Kindergarten children don't want homework."
Lin Xi smiled: "But you will be in the first grade soon."
"..." The little guy had just been happy for a while but she couldn't help but feel sad again and said sullenly, "Oh, that must be difficult."
Lin Xi smiled and rubbed the broken hair on the back of her head: "It doesn't matter, the homework for the first grade is not difficult and Mama Lin will teach you."
"Ah... Really?" The little guy's eyes were sparkling.
Lin Xi nodded and assured her with a smile: "Of course it's true and our cubs is very smart. She will become smarter in the first grade, so don't worry about not being able to learn."
The little guy seemed to really believe it, nodded vigorously and said expectantly, "I really want to go to first grade soon."
Chu Muqing carried the vegetable bag she bought to the kitchen. The kitchen door was not closed. From a distance, she could hear what they were talking about but she couldn't hear it clearly. It seemed that the big and small were talking about the first grade.
Counting the days, when Cheng Cheng grows up another year, it is indeed time to go to primary school.
If it wasn't for the fact that the child fell ill two years ago and delayed more than half a year, it stands to reason that she is now in the first grade.
Turning on the faucet, she held a round green pepper in her slender fingers and washed it under the running water.
At this time, the phone rang and it was Su Rui who called.
Chu Muqing put the green pepper on the cutting board, wiped her hands with a kitchen towel and answered the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Su Rui saw her pick up and without waiting for her to speak, she began to complain: "Chu Muqing, I'm so unlucky, have you seen the hot search today? Really, I want to die!"
Chu Muqing thought for a while and said, "In the afternoon, my colleagues in the office were chatting."
"Damn it! You saw that too, didn't you! Ah ah ah ah, I'm going crazy, why are people like this always coming out of my subordinates, can't they be okay?"
Chu Muqing listened to the movement in the receiver. The noise was a bit loud, and the rushing rain almost covered Su Rui's voice.
"Are you off work?" Chu Muqing asked.
"Hehe, let's go." Su Rui said more and more angrily: "Anyway, when Jingxi did this kind of thing, the character design collapsed directly. Although the company's top management did not make a clear statement, 80% of them were not optimistic about her and only said that the relevant The department tries to deal with it as much as possible but how to deal with it? These days, netizens are not fools, so just called the truth and came out. Anyway, the hot search has been hanging up for a day and a night and everyone doesn't care if it will hang for another night. "
Listening to the sound of the rain, Chu Muqing asked her, "Where are you?"
"On the street, my God, I really hope this rain will kill me!"
"Huh?" Chu Muqing asked, "Since the leadership has already decided, why do you still care?"
"..." Su Rui took a deep breath: "I brought Jing Xi out with my own hands and I did some tricks but her character is not bad. Maybe some mothers have feelings for their children and they can't bear it. There is another reason, There are not many people who can do it. If Jingxi quits the entertainment industry with her current status, the loss to the company and even its partners will be immeasurable. If I can reverse the situation, it will be good for me and her or for the company and for the partners, its about to be a win-win situation."
Chu Muqing frowned slightly.
From an artist life assistant back then to today's gold medal broker, Su Rui's experience and ability are no doubt.
Chu Muqing rarely sees her in such a difficult time as she is now.
Although she didn't watch today's hot search from the gossip of her colleagues, she probably understood the general situation.
Jing Xi had just won the Golden Film Award in the first half of the year and she was in the limelight for a while. Even a person like Chu Muqing who didn't pay much attention to entertainment news would hear from time to time that many people around her would praise her and later on TV. You can always see her big-name endorsements.
The most important thing in the entertainment industry is character design, especially Su Rui is engaged in this industry and she will naturally understand what is going on after listening to it a lot.
Jing Xi won the crown of actress in one fell swoop by virtue of her role as an urban strong woman who dares to speak and act and Su Rui contributed to it.
Jing Xi is an Omega. With the help of Omegas on the Internet to fight for O rights, Jing Xi seems to have become a spokesperson for O rights. Omegas love her and Alphas hate her.
But as long as the topic is hot, these are beneficial to Jingxi and it is also a situation created by Su Rui.
The problem is that a single female star who scolded Alpha all day became an underground mistress for a female Alpha and gave her a child.
This incident was revealed by the dog and the picture of Jingxi holding the child and entering and leaving the villa with the Alpha was instantly known to the entire Internet and the anger swept over in an instant and the hot search remained high.
Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that Su Rui would be in trouble.
"Didn't you bring an umbrella?" The sound of the rain on the other end of the phone became louder and louder, Chu Muqing reminded "Don't catch a cold."
Su Rui smiled bitterly: "Mom, in this stormy night, you are the only one who cares about me, are you home yet?"
Chu Muqing replied, "Well, I'm back."
"Chu Muqing, can I go and have dinner with you? just let me run away, I don't even dare open Weibo now, that dead girl Jingxi just blocked me, she asked me Crying? Who is she to cry for?"
Chu Muqing comforted her gently: "It's okay, you just come, Lin Xi bought the vegetables."
Su Rui was so touched that she asked her suspiciously, "Lin Xi bought the vegetables, you will cook and serve her?"
Chu Muqing denied: "No, I will be responsible for washing the vegetables and dishes after meals, and she cook it."
"..." Su Rui reacted for a few seconds: "Why are your identities reversed? Is it because your cooking is too bad?"
Chu Muqing:...
After hanging up the phone, Chu Muqing washed the vegetables and left the kitchen. Lin Xi was already sitting on the sofa with the little guy.
She hugged the little guy and turned on the cartoon on the TV. One big and one small were barefoot, sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching with interest.
Chu Muqing's eyes fell on her fair ankles and she suddenly remembered the day when Lin Xi was drunk, she opened her trousers hazy revealing a picture of her fair calves.
Lin Xi noticed the sight of Chu Muqing and seeing that the woman was looking at her feet, Lin Xi subconsciously dropped her legs and put on her slippers instinctively.
"That..." She explained embarrassingly, "Both Cub and I have washed our feet."
Chu Muqing retracted her gaze and responded, "En."
"Have you finished washing?" Lin Xi took out two pieces of paper from the blue frosted tissue box on the table and handed them to her: "Then I'll go stir-fry."
Chu Muqing took the paper towel, wiped the water droplets off her fingers and looked at her again and said, "Su Rui will be here later."
Lin Xi was slightly startled and quickly said, "Okay, I originally planned to make a stir-fried pork with green peppers. Since your friend is coming, let's stir-fry a few more dishes."
Chu Muqing looked at her with a light smile: "Are you afraid of her?"
"Ah? Is it obvious?" Lin Xi also laughed.
Chu Muqing nodded: "Yes, obviously."
Lin Xi laughed several times in a row: "I'm not afraid but she is your good sister. I will definitely treat her well and be generous as the head of the family."
Chu Muqing raised her eyebrows slightly: "Huh?"
Lin Xi coughed lightly and smiled: "No, the family cooks and the rice cooks."
Chu Muqing was once again amused by her.
She thought that Lin Xi was a very interesting person and it could also be said that she was a very kind and warm person.
For example, just now it was obviously to her, she wanted to make a sumptuous dinner to entertain Su Rui.
But she deliberately diverted the topic and used a relaxed atmosphere to cover up her silent dedication.
Lin Xi had already got up and went to the kitchen, Chu Muqing walked over to the little guy and sat down on the sofa beside her.
Chu Muqing thought for a while and imitated Lin Xi's posture and stretched out her long arms to wrap her shoulders.
The little guy leaned into her arms and put her little head on her chest.
Chu Muqing accompanied her to watch cartoons, the kitchen door was closed by Lin Xi and there was the buzzing sound of the range hood.
While waiting for the commercials on TV, Chu Muqing said to her, "Chengcheng, your mother Lin may be going to work tomorrow."
"Wow." The little guy looked up at her a pair of beautiful almond eyes flickering: "Really?"
"Yeah." Chu Muqing looked down at her daughter and said, "She may have to move out and live by herself."
"Huh? Why?" The little guy didn't understand: "Is she going to move out when she find a job?"
Chu Muqing nodded and told her, "What can we do about this?"
The little guy became sad and shouted, "No! No! Mama Lin can't move! I'm going to find Mama Lin!"
Chu Muqing wrapped around her small body: "Your mother Lin is cooking."
The little guy said angrily, "Then when Mama Lin finishes cooking, I'll ask her to tell me, how can she not want Chengcheng? Chengcheng is so good, it's too much!"
When Lin Xi was about to bring the third dish to the dinner table, Su Rui arrived.
Chu Muqing went to open the door, Su Rui was holding an umbrella in her hand, her hair and face were covered in water and her clothes were soaked in the rain.
With a cold air, she saw the plate of fried pork with green peppers in Lin Xi's hand as soon as she entered the door. The windows in the living room were all closed, the light was soft and the aroma of the food spread in the living room, which was warm and delicious.
Lin Xi was wearing an apron, put the dishes in her hands on the dining table and covered it with a thermal insulation cover. Then she looked at her with an embarrassed face: "Didn't you bring an umbrella? and you're still drenched like this?"
"Oh my God..." She went to see Chu Muqing again: "Let her take a bath first, she will catch a cold. I will look for a cold-preventing granule. The hot water in the kitchen is about to boil."
Chu Muqing looked at Su Rui and said with a smile, "Go take a shower, I'll find you clean clothes."
Su Rui hesitated for a while before giving Lin Xi an awkward look: "Thank you."
Lin Xi looked at the footprints she stepped on the floor and asked Chu Muqing with a smirk, "Do you still have slippers?"
Chu Muqing turned around and walked towards the entrance and took out another pair of slippers for Su Rui.
Su Rui: ...
When she first entered the door, she was still desperately wanting the opening remarks after seeing Lin Xi.
She was actually a little embarrassed, she really hated Lin Xi before at least the things she did to Chu Muqing were disgusting, even if Chu Muqing insisted that she had multiple personalities but before Cheng Chumo returned to China she also insisted to Be skeptical about this.
But when she came to eat food made by others, her attitude should really be better but she was embarrassed when she saw Lin Xi but this person was actually worried that she might caught a cold.
Depend on! What I hate the most is someone who suddenly treats her well and who she has always disliked!
Moreover, she felt that Lin Xi and Chu Muqing were not quite right?
But she couldn't tell what was wrong. She always felt that it was too natural for these two to get along?
It's very strange and it's not the kind of ambiguity between lovers but they get along very naturally a bit like an old husband and wife...
Thinking of this, Su Rui couldn't help shivering.
She scolded a dirty word in her heart, this rain is so cold!
After Su Rui entered the bathroom, Lin Xi found out the granules, Chu Muqing went into the kitchen and brought out the hot water, Lin Xi tore the package of the granules and took the kettle over: "Thank you".
She held the small spoon and stirred it gently to dissolve the granule quickly.
Chu Muqing watched her movements and suddenly said softly, "I should say thank you to too."
Lin Xi lowered her head and smiled: "What do you mean? Are You worried about her catching a cold?"
Chu Muqing shook her head, more than that.
"But I learned from you..." Lin Xi put down the water glass, raised her head to look at her and said with a smile, "When we were in the car, you turn on the heater and let me get dressed on the road, I think its very warm."
Chu Muqing's eyes were slightly startled.
Lin Xi looked at her with a smile again: "I think you're very good. Not only do you care about people but you also work hard. You have a very elegant way of eating. It's really good to get along with other and it can make people like you...."
Chu Muqing looked at her quietly, her eyes fell on her thin lips that opened and closed.
"Ah, I figured it out." Lin Xi's lips curled with a smile, and She said seriously: "Seeing the virtuous and thinking together seeing the virtuous and introspecting, so if you see any problems with me in the future, you can directly Correct me, I'm not the kind of person who knows what's wrong and doesn't change it as long as you think something is wrong with me, you can clearly say it and I can definitely correct it."
For several seconds after she finished speaking, Chu Muqing didn't speak.
Lin Xi thought about it and told her, "Actually, I used to have a lot of problems. I was lonely when I was a child and no one could teach me or tell me what was wrong with me. Later, when I grew up, I actually had a lot of problems in my body. It can also be said that Heart defect."
Chu Muqing looked at her puzzled: "Are you?"
"Yeah...it's me." Lin Xi laughed at herself: "In fact, the growth environment has a great impact on a person. When encountering difficulties, I will want to escape, I will be cowardly and I don't know how to get along with people. Later, I worked hard to change myself. Those flaws, all of which used to make me very painful but when I grew up, I found that it was not difficult and these can be corrected so believe me, I'm definitely a person who knows mistakes and can correct them."
Chu Muqing looked at her and told her firmly, "Lin Xi, I believe in you."
"Thank you." Lin Xi smiled, leaned forward again and looked into her eyes carefully: "You won't pity me, will you? Oh, I know it's not easy for everyone even those who look bright It's not easy for a thousand feet, I shouldn't be hypocritical, you think I'm talking nonsense."
Chu Muqing shook her head gently: "No."
"That's good." Lin Xi laughed: "Actually, the main reason is to tell you that I'm not a perfect person but Chu Muqing, I think you're very good and getting along with you a lot seems to really make me get better. Ah- it's over!"
Lin Xi suddenly remembered that there was still hot water in the pot in the kitchen and she wanted to cook small meatballs.
"Chu Muqing, I'll go back and continue to be 'hypocritical' with you, ha, I'm going to see the pot!"
She said and immediately took a step towards the direction of the kitchen.
Before she took a few steps, she heard Chu Muqing calling her from behind.
"Lin Xi-"
Lin Xi turned around and looked at her from a distance: "What?"
Chu Muqing looked at her for a long time before telling her in a gentle voice, "Lin Xi, you're already fine."
