The Cliff of Eternal Sun

Chapter 39 Long Dream

Ever since Wei Mu could remember, Liang Yan had been doing various odd jobs frequently. She did cleaning in hotels, saw bicycles in the square, washed dishes in restaurants, and other miscellaneous odd jobs.She didn't do these jobs for too long. The main reason is that her personality is too strange. She has a cold face all the year round and almost never smiles. Most of the service industries that can do are to greet people with a smile, but she has never had one. He has a good attitude and can offend people very much at work, so he is often forced to change to a new job after a few months.

In the first month after Wei Mu came to work in Dehai, he received a salary of [-] after tax. He took out [-] from it, and went home after get off work to give the money to Liang Yan.

In that cramped and dark house that hadn’t changed in any way for more than ten years, Liang Yan sat on a stool. In front of her was a folded small table with half a plate of cold shredded potatoes. Holding the food with chopsticks, he lowered his eyes and didn't even look at the money, and said indifferently: "I don't need your money."

The joy of just getting the salary starts from stepping into this door, like falling into the mud, gradually sinking without a trace.Holding the wad of money in his hand, Wei Mu didn't know what to say for a while, looking a little embarrassed.

After a moment of silence, he put the money on the bedside cabinet and whispered, "Take it."

He got up and was about to leave, when there was a bang, Liang Yan suddenly put the bowl on the table, she stood up, grabbed the money, and pressed it into Wei Mu's arms.There was a strand of gray hair hanging down the side of her face, Wei Mu's gaze fell on it out of season, and he turned around after a while, meeting Liang Yan's cold and disgusted eyes.

"Take your money away. I have never cared about you since I was a child, and I won't care about you when I get old. Take your money and go."

Wei Mu frowned and called "Mom".

"Don't call me mom!" Liang Yan stared at Wei Mu as if looking at an enemy, "I don't have a child like you."

Her lips moved up and down, and she didn't know how to spit out such cruel words: "It's so disgusting."

Wei Mu was the same as when he came, and went out with the 3000 yuan, not missing a cent.

It wasn't until after walking a long way that a gust of wind blew a few red banknotes from his hand that he suddenly realized that he was holding the wad of money firmly in his hand as he walked along the way. How strange.

He bent down to pick up the banknotes scattered on the ground one by one. When he straightened up, he felt very tired. He was too tired to take another step forward, so he sat down on the stone by the roadside, wanting to have a rest.

In the fading sky, a pair of mother and son walked by him. The boy looked to be eight or nine years old. He was wearing a school uniform, but was covered in mud from his chest down, as if he had rolled through the mud. Beside him The woman looked angry, grabbed the boy's arm with one hand, dragged him forward angrily, and scolded: "Let you play with mud, and then you will be covered with small bumps. I'll see what you do. Also, just wait! Your dad is at home, let's see if he beats you!"

I don't know which threat worked. The boy groaned and refused to move forward. He wanted to struggle to get his arm out of the woman's hand, but when he broke free a little, the woman grabbed her again and continued to drag him forward: " Now I know I’m afraid, hum, it’s too late!”

The voice of the boy coquettishly calling "Mom" disappeared along with their backs, and Wei Mu's eyes followed them all the time, almost fascinated.

Whether it's caring or reprimanding, he rarely gets these ordinary things between parents and children from Liang Yan.Ever since he was a child, Liangyan has given him the most disregard, so that when he walks on the street and sees those parents and children cuddling together, he often can't help being curious about what it would be like to live in such a relationship.

However, time did not bring the slightest improvement in the relationship between him and Liang Yan. On the contrary, Liang Yan had a deep-rooted disgust for him in addition to his indifference.

This disgust came from half a year ago when he told Liang Yan about himself and Ji Suian.

At that time, the Spring Festival hadn’t passed long before, and Ji Suian’s mother returned home, and Ji Suian asked him if he wanted to have a meal together.

Ji Suian spoke very calmly, as if it was just a casual dinner party, but Wei Mu suddenly became nervous.It's not that he hasn't met Ji Suian's family. Ji Tangtang's three-dimensional geometry is taught by him, but his sister is different from his parents. Ji Suian wants him to have dinner with Shu Xi, which in his eyes is equivalent to formally meeting the parents .

Ji Suian asked him: "Nervous?"

Wei Mu wanted to shake his head at first, but after shaking his head for a while, he nodded honestly, his face was a little numb.

"What's there to be nervous about? Just treat her as your own mother, don't feel restrained."

Wei Mu let out an "oh", without furrowing his brows, and said in a low voice half a minute later, "I'm still nervous."

"Then treat her like a stranger sharing a table."

"How about that?"

Seeing his anxious look, Ji Suian smiled for a while, and said, "If you are really nervous, we won't have dinner together. It wasn't a big deal, but that girl Ji Tangtang talked a lot and told her about the two of us. The next time she returns to China, she wants to see you, and it's okay if she doesn't go."

Probably seeing that Wei Mu's brows were still unfurled, Ji Suian made another joke: "If I want to have dinner with your mother in the future, it will probably be no better than you are now."

It was just such a casual sentence that entered Wei Mu's heart, and it also awakened the faint something wrong in his heart since he knew he was going to have dinner with Ji Suian's mother.He can't disrespect his elders, but if Ji Suian takes him to meet his parents, he must also let Liang Yan see Ji Suian. But here he keeps secret, which is unfair to Ji Suian.

So, he went back home the next day.Liang Yan came back very late that day, the lock on the door of the house was changed at some time, and the key in Wei Mu's hand could not be opened, and he could not enter the house, so he stood in the yard and waited until it was dark. Come back to Liang Yan.

He followed Liang Yan into the house and asked, "Why did you change the lock?"

Liang Yan didn't turn her head back: "The original one is broken."

Then Liang Yan went to put the bag away and packed it on her own. Wei Mu stood alone at the door, thinking that Liang Yan didn't ask to give him a new key, but he had other more important things on his mind, and he didn't care about it. Too many thoughts were entangled in it, but after thinking about it, it faded away.

It wasn't until several minutes later that Liang Yan seemed to remember that there was such a person as him. She looked back at him and said, "It's getting late, so go back if you have nothing to do."

"Something's wrong."

Liang Yan finally turned to him: "What's the matter?"

It would be a lie to say that he was not anxious, and besides the anxiety, Wei Mu was a little embarrassed, after all, it was such a private matter, how could anyone say it face to face as a "thing", but other than that, he There is no other way to talk to Liang Yan.

Impatientness was evident on Liang Yan's face, and Wei Mu finally said, "I'm in a relationship."

He was so nervous that Liang Yan could only say "Oh".

Wei Muhang's hand that was hanging by his side unconsciously clenched into a fist. However, Liang Yan's attitude of having nothing to do with himself made him feel a little sad on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also made him feel a little relieved. So hard to say.

"He...is a boy."

As soon as Wei Mu's voice fell to the ground, Liang Yan suddenly raised her head, her dim eyes suddenly brightened surprisingly, she stared straight at him, and said sharply, "Say it again."

Wei Mu was taken aback by her sudden magnified reaction, the anxiety in his heart was so thick that it made him flustered, he still said bravely: "He is my classmate, I like him very much, we have been together for several years..."

He couldn't finish his sentence, because Liang Yan slapped him over. The slap was so heavy that half of Wei Mu's face immediately went numb.

Liang Yan stared at him: "Say it again."

I don't know why, this slap seemed to dispel the original anxiety in Wei Mu's heart, maybe because the worst situation has been settled, the anxiety has become unnecessary.

He didn't touch that half hot face, but stood up straight, and said again following Liang Yan's request: "I like him very much, I love him, and I want to spend my whole life with him."

Another slap with all his strength, Wei Mu's mouth smelled of blood, and then Liang Yan's hoarse and distorted voice exploded in his ears: "Pervert!"

The slap couldn't bear the anger anymore, Liang Yan reached out to grab the broom standing beside her, and slammed it down on Wei Mu fiercely.The frantic whipping was mixed with Liang Yan's sharp roar: "Damn pervert! Do you know what you're talking about! Pervert!"

Wei Mu didn't hide, didn't make a sound, and let the broom slam down on his back, shoulders, and forehead.I don't know how long it has passed, Liang Yan was tired of beating and scolding, the broom head was broken, leaving only a straight stick, Liang Yan threw it on the ground, her eyes were red, she looked at Wei Mu as if she was looking at Wei Mu. The dirtiest thing in the world said hoarsely, "Get out!"

Wei Mu then turned around, opened the door and walked out. He didn't say a word the whole time, and when he ran into the aunt who lived next door at the street corner, he greeted with a smile as usual.It’s just that he forgot to turn the road that was supposed to turn at the intersection of the street, and just walked forward along the side blindly. Walk aimlessly.

He never thought of asking for anything from Ji Suian, but that day he suddenly felt that he just couldn't talk about fairness with Ji Suian. Sui'an.

This made him feel very sad, but he had long been used to this kind of life, and being sad seemed hypocritical.

He walked a long way along the road that night, if Ji Suian hadn't called, he might have been able to walk all the way.And when he answered Ji Suian's phone call, he was still laughing and shouting "Suian" at the first time. After these two words came out, the next sentence was completely stuck in his throat, no matter how hard he tried. Unable to speak, and then choked up uncontrollably.

In this way, almost hastily, he revealed a corner of his life to Ji Suian.

He still didn't go to see Shuxi in the end, and after that until he entered Dehai to work, he only visited Liang Yan once, and didn't even enter the door, just stood at the door, and he called "Mom" Liang Yan didn't say a word to him.

On the day when he received his first salary in his life, he held 3000 yuan, but he also couldn't give it out.

That day he sat on the rock and watched the mother and child go away. It took a long time to look away, then lowered his head, straightened the crumpled banknotes in his hand one by one, and stuffed them into his pocket.

As soon as he finished the work, Ji Suian called and asked him where he was and when he would be home.

"I'll pick you up, let's go out for dinner tonight."

Wei Mu smiled: "Aren't you very busy doing experiments recently, can you spare some time?"

"It doesn't matter if I do it again tomorrow, no matter how busy I am, I have to go out to dinner with you today."

"why?"

"In order to celebrate our Twilight's first month's salary, we have agreed in advance that we must treat you."

The evening wind blew Wei Mu's hair up. Looking at the blue sky above the alley, he felt his heart sinking little by little, feeling safe and secure.

"No problem." He smiled, "You can order whatever you want."

He was no longer overly sad because of Liang Yan's attitude towards him as he was at the beginning.

He has a place to go back to, and someone who will be happy for him.

After that, Wei Mu opened a new card, and he deposited the 3000 yuan that Liang Yan didn't want into the card, and he would add another [-] yuan to it every month thereafter.He went home during the Chinese New Year, the two of them still had nothing to say, before leaving, Wei Mu tucked the card under Liang Yan's pillow.Whether it is Liang Yan's business or not is his own business.

The two of them haven't met each other since the Chinese New Year. Wei Mu never thought that when he saw Liang Yan again, it would be in his company building.
