"Sure," Mu Yiqing agreed.
"…" Mu Ning Jing was just being polite. She didn't expect him to agree just like that. The mayor often came to her shabby neighborhood to eat her home-cooked food. This … felt like an emperor coming to the slums.
"Then I'll come over when I'm free. It won't be troublesome, right?"
Mu Ningjing's lips curved stiffly. "… I won't."
"I'm not picky. We're very similar in this aspect, so you don't have to specially prepare anything for me. I'll eat what I usually eat. Just cook me a bowl of rice," Mu Yiqing said with a smile, as if he didn't see the awkwardness on Mu Ning Jing's face.
After dinner, Mu Yiqing didn't leave. Instead, he suggested to go for a walk to digest the food.
After dinner, they wanted to go for a walk. Mu Ning Jing felt that the distance between her and Mu Yiqing had suddenly changed from a mayor and a commoner to a close friend. Although she was a little flattered, she still felt very warm in her heart.
The two of them went downstairs. They didn't leave the neighborhood and walked slowly along the small path of the apartment building.
The moon was bright and the breeze was gentle.
Mu Ning Jing was quiet and didn't know how to chat. Mu Yiqing was basically the one doing the talking. She only nodded or replied with an "mm" occasionally.
The two of them walked for about twenty minutes. Mu Yiqing stopped and took out a card from his pocket. He turned around and handed it to Mu Ning Jing.
Mu Ning Jing looked confused. "What's this?"
"It's not much. It's a token of my appreciation. Take it as a meeting gift from an elder." Mu Yiqing smiled and stuffed the card into Mu Ning Jing's hand.
Mu Ning Jing looked down and saw that it was a bank card. She was so shocked that her face turned pale. She shook her head and handed the card back to Mu Yiqing. "Uncle Mu, you're too kind. I can't accept this card."
"Be good. I'm giving it to you, so just accept it." Mu Yiqing refused to take it. His attitude was very firm.
"I really can't accept it. I'm already very happy that you're willing to be close to me. If you do this, I …" Mu Ning Jing was at a loss. She was really frightened by Mu Yiqing's actions and didn't know what to say. She paused for a few seconds before continuing, "I'm under a lot of pressure."
"Don't feel pressured. I have a good relationship with your mother. Now that she's gone, I'm your family. It's only right for me to take care of you," Mu Yiqing said sincerely.
How could this be?
At the end of the day, she had nothing to do with Mu Yiqing.
Mu Ning Jing felt that the card in her hand was like a hot potato. She insisted on returning it to Mu Yiqing.
Mu Yiqing pulled a long face and was a little unhappy. "Are you being so polite with me because you don't treat me as an elder? What's wrong with an elder giving a junior a greeting gift? If you treat me like an outsider, I won't come here in the future. "
Mu Ning Jing's hand that was holding the card froze in the air. She looked at him helplessly.
Seeing Mu Ning Jing like this, Mu Yiqing felt a little sad. He only wanted her to live a better life and didn't want to burden her. After thinking about it, he said, "How about this? Just treat it as my food expenses. I'll come here to eat when I'm free in the future. What do you think?"
Mu Ning Jing was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Give me a call before you come. I'll prepare in advance."
In order to let Mu Ning Jing accept the money with a clear conscience, Mu Yiqing could only agree to what she said.
The two of them took a walk for a while before Mu Yiqing left.
Mu Ning Jing went upstairs and put away the card that Mu Yiqing gave her. Only then did she remember that a bank card required a password. He didn't tell her the password. However, after thinking about it, she didn't plan to use the money on the card. She still had to find a chance to return it to Mu Yiqing.
After putting the card away, Mu Ning Jing started to clean up the dining table. When she was done, she took out the documents that she brought back from the company to read. Her phone rang. It was a message notification.
Mu Yiqing sent a message: The password of the card is Mom's birthday.
Mu Ning Jing looked at the message in a daze for a while. Mu Yiqing and Mom had been separated for so many years, but he still remembered Mom's birthday. She thought that their relationship must have been very good when they were dating.
Mu Yiqing said that Mom was his first time. The first time was the most unforgettable. Mu Ning Jing instantly thought of the Korean star who was killed by Lv Zhiwen because of her. That was also her first time.
Every time Mu Ning Jing thought of that gentle but hot-blooded young man, her heart ached terribly. It wasn't that their love was so unforgettable at that time. He was so young and didn't know much about love.
It was just that he lost his life because of her. This left an indelible mark in Mu Ning Jing's heart. In this life, he would exist in her heart.
Mu Ning Jing thought of the past and felt a little confused. She couldn't concentrate on her work, so she simply put away the documents and got up to wash up in the bathroom. After washing up, Mu Ning Jing calmed down a lot. Thinking of the conversation with Shuxin during the day, she took out her phone and dialed Doctor Qin's number.
Doctor Qin asked about Mu Ning Jing's work and life as usual, so that she could relax.
When they talked about Mu Ning Jing's condition, Doctor Qin clearly felt that Mu Ning Jing's mentality had changed a little. She seemed to be more relaxed. He took the opportunity to ask her if she wanted to treat her in person. The effect would be better that way.
Mu Ning Jing refused.
Doctor Qin said again, "Actually, there is another treatment method. It's a little extreme, but the effect is very good. I don't know if you dare to try it."
Mu Ning Jing pursed her lips and was silent for a few seconds before asking, "What method?"
"Forced therapy. Go to the prison to see your stepfather …"
"No, I don't want to see him." Mu Ning Jing felt very uncomfortable when she thought of Lv Zhiwen when she thought of Korean Star. Now that Doctor Qin mentioned Lv Zhiwen again, Mu Ning Jing's nerves instantly tensed up, and her face was frighteningly pale.
"He is the source of fear. Using great psychological stimulation to force treatment, this method can start from the source …"
"No, don't." Mu Ning Jing couldn't help but think of the image of Lv Zhiwen bullying her. She hung up the phone with trembling hands, and her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
Mu Ning Jing didn't sleep well that night. She almost had nightmares all night. She dreamed of Korean Star's edematous body being fished out of the river. She dreamed of everyone laughing at her when she was a child. She also dreamed of Zhao Xiangping committing suicide and the blood on the ground. She also dreamed of Lv Zhiwen bullying her.
Sleeping for a night was more tiring than not sleeping at all.
When she woke up in the morning, Mu Ning Jing was very tired. There were faint black bags under her eyes, and her head was a little dizzy.
When she arrived at the company, Shuxin was startled by Mu Ning Jing's appearance. "What's wrong? Didn't you rest last night? "
Mu Ning Jing didn't know how to lie, so she could only tell the truth. "I had a nightmare."
Shuxin guessed that Mu Ning Jing must have dreamed of the past. She was afraid that it would make her sad again, so she didn't ask any more questions. She just pushed her out. "Go home and rest."
"I'm fine …"
"How can you be fine? You don't know how scary you look. Hurry up and go to sleep, or I'll call Shen Tingxi. "
Mu Ning Jing was speechless.
When they got home, Mu Ning Jing lay down and was about to fall asleep when the doorbell rang.
