After a week, Ruan Wenyou and Ah Mu came to Uncle Qin's milk tea shop again. In addition to Uncle Qin, Zheng Quan and his younger sister Zheng Shuiling were also in the store. It happened that the brother and sister were on duty today.
After not seeing Ruan Wenyou for many days, Uncle Qin and Zheng's brothers and sisters rushed forward to care about him, Ruan Wenyou simply responded with a smile. Ah Mu didn't talk much at first, so he just stayed aside quietly at this time.
"Meow, meow..." A soft meow came suddenly, Ruan Wenyou followed the sound and looked down, an orange cat appeared at his feet at some point.
"Where did this cat come from?" Ruan Wenyou couldn't help being startled.
"Haha, it's called 'Mianmian', so cute!"
Zheng Shuiling smiled and hugged the orange cat. The cat is cold by nature, but the little guy rubbed back and forth in Zheng Shuiling's arms, and his fluffy tail swayed accordingly.
Zheng Quan then explained: "Wen You, last week you asked for leave and didn't come to the store. One day it was raining heavily, and Shui Ling took an umbrella to go out to take out the trash. I happened to find this cat at the back door of the store."
"Mianmian was soaked that day, trembling in the rain, and his right foot was injured and bleeding. It's so pitiful! I couldn't bear it, so I took it back to the store."
Zheng Shuiling recalled what happened that day, and patted the orange cat's head again.
"Now that its feet have been healed, it doesn't have to worry about starvation or cold! By the way, Brother Xiaoyou, 'Mianmian' is the name I gave him, doesn't it sound nice?"
"Yeah, it fits it well."
Ruan Wenyou smiled, and couldn't help but reached out and touched the orange cat lightly. The little guy was very obedient and ran away without struggling or disgust.
Ten oranges and nine fat, although the cat's body is not that fat, but it is not thin. It doesn't look like a stray wild cat, its hair is neatly trimmed and its color is bright and beautiful, it should be a domestic cat being raised.
Uncle Qin said: "It may have been separated from its original owner. At first, there was a cat tag around its neck, but the tag fell off, leaving only a loop of rope. I and Koizumi have been inquiring about the cats around here for the past two days. Nobody lost a cat? It’s just in the shop for now.”
Zheng Shuiling couldn't help frowning after hearing this, the little girl was a little reluctant: "Uncle Qin, can't we keep Mianmian forever?"
"This..." Uncle Qin was about to speak, but Zheng Quan took the first step, persuading and educating his younger sister, "Shui Ling, if you really like cats, our family will raise one in the future, but we must not take other people's pets away." cat."
"It is not your 'Mian Mian' alone, it has a real home and master. The happiness and satisfaction you monopolize it now is probably based on another person's sorrow and pain, and Mian Mian also has a choice Quan, it might be missing that master right now."
After hearing what his brother Zheng Quan said, Zheng Shuiling didn't say anything for a long time, but gradually let go of the orange cat in his arms and put it on the ground.
The little orange cat regained its freedom and trotted to the door. It squatted at the door and looked outside, and began to "meow" again.
Seeing this, Uncle Qin couldn't help sighing softly: "Oh, it's better not to just pick up kittens and puppies and bring them home. Once you have feelings, you won't be willing to send them away."
Before he finished speaking, Ruan Wenyou silently glanced at Ah Mu, and quickly looked away before he realized it.
Uncle Qin and the others also posted the news on the Internet, and attached a photo of the orange cat and the address of their milk tea shop, hoping that the cat owner would come to pick up the little guy soon.
After get off work, Ah Mu drives Ruan Wenyou by car as usual, but recently he will go for a walk outside before returning home. The two of them are also helping to inquire, paying attention to the various cat hunting notices on the roadside.
There is an extra layer of soft and thick cushion on the back seat of the bicycle, which was carefully prepared by Ah Mu.
Ruan Wenyou rested for two or three days, and when the pain subsided, he planned to go to work in the store, but he saw the cushion on the back seat of the bicycle.
Ruan Wenyou's heart softened, and he said with a smile, "Thank you, Ah Mu."
When the two were in the shop, Ah Mu kept working in a muffled voice, never complaining about anything. Ruan Wenyou felt a little unbelievable, the crying Amu who wanted to hug him and act like a baby during the estrus seemed to be a dream.
Ruan Wenyou has been busy all day and is ready to call it a day and go home. Beads of sweat ran down his cheeks, and before he had time to wipe them off, Ah Mu, who noticed it, helped him to wipe it off gently.
Ruan Wenyou was stunned for a moment, inevitably a little embarrassed, he thanked him, and then asked in a low voice, "Ah Mu, are you really going after me? Are you really joking?"
"I never joke." Ah Mu said firmly.
Ruan Wenyou was dubious: "But you don't even know who you are, and you don't know me very well."
"Your name is Ruan Wenyou. You are 19 years old and born on May 27. You like to do math problems and drink milk tea, and you have a grandmother to support. I will continue to understand other things slowly."
Ruan Wenyou was a little confused when he heard Ah Mu's sudden words. He blinked, still digesting, only to hear Ah Mu say another sentence.
"I am Ah Mu now, and I also like being Ah Mu."
...
The "Masked Rose" dance competition continued on the island. After the preliminary round, there were three rounds of rematch. In the end, there were only three outstanding dancers left on the stage, two female Omega and one male Omega.
On the finals stage tonight, the remaining three contestants not only have to compete, but also challenge the previous champion, Meng Taoyu, for the first place.
"I can see my sister dancing again! Ah Mu, you have to keep your eyes wide open later, and appreciate it! Not only is my sister beautiful and kind, but her dance is also amazing, so she has been winning the championship all the time."
Sitting under the stage, Ruan Wenyou was full of anticipation, as if he had become a little fan of Meng Tao's chatter.
Not everyone can enter the arena to watch the finals with their own eyes. Except for the specially invited audience and some prominent patrons and bosses, everyone else has to grab tickets online.
Tickets are hard to grab, and they are often gone as soon as they are refreshed. But every year at this time, Ruan Wenyou would grab tickets to watch Meng Taoyu.
Rose Island has the largest red light district in China, and the dance of the "Masked Rose" competition was not on the stage at first.
People outside looked at them with traditional eyes, and thought that people on Rose Island liked to dance this kind of dance, so they themselves were unsightly.
On the stage of the finals, the other dancers were all dressed in red, with heavy makeup on their faces. They are like foxes who are good at disguising and changing, and they are like coquettish and beautiful poisonous snakes, with a mouthful of deadly fangs, they will bite you at any time.
This year, Meng Taoyu is wearing a white dance skirt and dancing shoes. Her makeup is also very light. She just puts her hair up in a simple bun, which is all shown by her demeanor and body movements.
From the moment Meng Taoyu stood on the stage, almost all the eyes of the audience were focused on her, and it was hard to move away.
Meng Taoyu's toes tapped lightly, like a goose feather landing on the ground, and when she jumped up, she was like a light flying butterfly. Her series of dance moves are clean and neat, and her frown and smile are full of charm, which also touches the hearts of the audience.
When the last note fell, Meng Taoyu also maintained a graceful posture and froze in the center of the stage.
There was thunderous applause from the auditorium, but Ah Mu suddenly noticed an unkind gaze behind him, cold and vicious, like a snake.
He immediately turned his head, trying to find the owner of that line of sight, but the other party shifted his gaze in time and quietly hid himself.
"What's wrong with you? Mu."
Ruan Wenyou asked, he saw Ah Mu looking back, as if he was looking for someone.
"fine."
Ah Mu shook his head lightly, thinking that maybe he was too vigilant.
Meng Taoyu became the champion again this year, Ruan Wenyou was happier than herself, as if she had won the award, she kept yelling to invite Meng Taoyu to a big meal.
"Silly Xiaoyou, I won a lot of bonuses, I should be the one who invited you." Meng Taoyu smiled.
"Sister, but I just want to treat guests. Besides, you helped me and Ah Mu last time."
"Okay, I got it." Meng Taoyu smiled dotingly, thinking that when Ruan Wenyou treats guests, it will be the same if she takes the initiative to pay the bill.
"Ayou, it's too late today, you'd better go back to rest early, let's have dinner and celebrate in two days."
"Yeah, sister, you must be very tired too, go home and sleep well."
After bidding farewell to Meng Taoyu, Ruan Wenyou and Ah Mu also returned home soon. Ruan Wenyou was about to take a bath and rest, but Ah Mu held him back and said, "Can you change into the red dance dress from that day and dance with me?"
"Ah?" Ruan Wenyou was startled, "Ah Mu, my dance foundation is very poor, and I'm also bad at dancing. I can't do many dances."
"It's okay, I'll teach you."
A bright moon hangs high in the night sky, and the silvery moonlight shines through the windows into the house. Ruan Wenyou put on the red dance skirt that had been sewn before, and when the skirt fluttered, there seemed to be stars flowing on it.
Ah Mu taught Ruan Wenyou to dance the waltz tonight, the two figures intertwined, Ruan Wenyou put his hands on Ah Mu's shoulders, he was not proficient at first, and stepped on Ah Mu's feet several times, he was embarrassed, Repeatedly apologized.
Ah Mu shook her head lightly: "You don't need to keep apologizing, you've already danced very well."
Encouraged by Ruan Wenyou, his tense nerves gradually relaxed, and he quickly memorized the dance steps. The tension on his face was also replaced by a smile, and he smiled brightly, his eyes filled with brilliant stars.
Because he was not used to wearing high heels, Ruan Van You then sat down and rubbed his sore feet.
Seeing this, Ah Mu bent down and helped him take it off: "Don't force yourself to wear it if you don't like it, the one that suits you is the best."
As he spoke, he took out another delicate bell from his trouser belt, and tied it on Ruan Van You's porcelain-white slender ankle.
Ruan Wenyou couldn't help being startled: "When did you buy this bell?"
"Two days ago, I thought it suited you very well, so I bought it. You wear it first, and I will replace it with a more beautiful one later."
Before Ah Mu finished speaking, Ruan Wenyou shook his head: "You don't need to change it, this one looks good."
After finishing speaking, he stood up again and turned around, and the bell on his ankle rang. The moonlight was like water, and the bell rang in the silent night. The crisp sound lingered in Ruan Wenyou's ears and echoed in his heart.
"Do you like it?" A Mu asked again.
"Yeah." Ruan Wenyou nodded with a smile, then sat in front of Ah Mu, he raised his foot and took a closer look, and saw that there was still a small pattern on the bell, engraved with a rose.
Ah Mu leaned over and lowered her head, said with a smile: "When we do it in the future, it will be especially suitable for you."
