Chapter 113 It’s over before it even begins
The kitten looked back frequently and even stopped to wait for him.
Under this stimulation, Cui Peng gritted his teeth and closely followed the footsteps of Li Mu and Brother Nan.
Several times along the way, Li Mu told him to take a rest before leaving, but he refused.
The price was that when he returned to the courtyard, his legs were so weak that he could not stand up while sitting in the courtyard.
Brother Nan washes vegetables, Li Mu cooks, and Maoer and the cubs light the fire.
For a while, he was the only one in the yard.
In order to relieve the embarrassment, Cui Peng took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the night sky.
There is a moon tonight and a sky full of stars.
The gauze-like clouds floating in the sky illuminated by the bright moon are also clearly visible.
"How are your legs?" Li Mu stewed pork belly and chicken in the pot, and put yogurt on the fire. He was temporarily free and walked over to Cui Peng and sat down.
"A little sour."
Cui Peng smiled bitterly and said, "I really admire you guys. It's no problem at all to walk on such a long mountain road. Compared with you, my height is really in vain."
"It's nothing." Li Mu looked at Cui Peng and said in a calm and gentle tone, "It's just like you are good at writing news and articles, but I am not. Different industries mean different things that you are good at. There are only specializations in the industry."
"I find that listening to you is quite comforting." Cui Peng grinned, showing a row of teeth, "You are really a very gentle person."
".Is that so?" Li Mu always felt a little weird when he was suddenly praised by a man.
"Although we have only been in contact for one day, my intuition as a reporter is not wrong."
Cui Peng pointed to the kittens and cubs on the fire:
“If you are a person with a bad personality, or you are not sincere to them, the animals will not trust and rely on you so much.
“It’s not just these cubs, the golden monkeys, golden eagles, female wolves and Siberian tigers in the courtyard also trust you.
"Not only do they live in harmony in your yard, but they also share food with each other, which is basically impossible to do in the wild.
"There is only one possibility for this situation to occur, and that is that there is an anchor that the animals trust and rely on unconditionally to support it all. I think this anchor is you."
"That's it." Li Mu looked at the kittens on the fire, "I didn't think so much, I just treated them with my heart, and they repaid me with their heart."
"See, I'd say you're a gentle person."
"Thank you." Li Mu accepted the compliment calmly and smiled at Cui Peng.
At the same time, the impression of Cui Peng in my heart was refreshed.
Anyone who can work as a reporter on CCTV is indeed exceptional.
Although he looks tall and honest, he is actually a person with keen intuition and a rough mind.
"The environment in the mountains is really nice."
Cui Peng looked up at the Milky Way in the night sky, "Not to mention the Milky Way, we can't even see many stars in the city."
"The Milky Way is indeed rare, but the stars can still be seen."
Li Mu also looked up at the sky full of stars, "It's just that people in the city are used to a fast pace. They just keep their heads down and rush along, and they don't think about looking up at the stars."
Cui Peng was stunned for a moment.
Looking back, this is really the case.
Day and night, either on the way to work or working overtime at home, I can’t remember the last time I looked up and admired the night sky.
The two of them stopped talking and quietly admired the starry sky.
After a while, Li Mu was called by Brother Nan and the rice was cooked.
Dishes are put on the table one after another, and the aroma is overflowing.
"Do you drink liquor?" Brother Nan divided the bowls and chopsticks and turned to look at Cui Peng and asked.
"Well, I don't drink much. I drink some red wine and beer occasionally."
"Oh." Brother Nan was a little disappointed, "Looking at you, I thought you were good at drinking."
"Due to professional restrictions, sometimes I may be suddenly called to do interviews, so I don't dare to drink."
"You have nothing to do tonight, you can drink some." Brother Nan took out her Maotai, "You two can just drink beer."
Li Mu and Cui Peng each opened a bottle and bravely traveled to the end of the world.
"Here, have a drink." Brother Nan poured a glass of white wine and raised it.
Li Mu and Cui Peng picked up the beer and tapped Brother Nan's cup.
Brother Nan was very proud. He raised his head and drank all the liquor in the glass.
"Okay, once we have clinked glasses, we are officially acquainted." Brother Nan looked at Cui Peng: "I won't clink glasses anymore. You drink slowly and weigh your own drinking capacity. How old are you?"
"33, the virtual age is 34."
"Oh, we are all young people, don't be formal and polite."
"Okay, thank you." Being called young by two young people in their early 20s, Cui Peng instantly lost his age anxiety.
"No thanks, let's eat!" Brother Nan waved his hand and asked Cui Peng to use his chopsticks.
Li Mu picked up a piece of pork belly, blew it to cool down and put it in the small bowl in front of the kitten.
The cat lowered his head and started eating.
"Cats also have their own eating bowls?" Cui Peng couldn't help but ask when he saw this scene.
"Hey, yogurt is Li Mu's favorite." Brother Nan took another sip and drank a glass of white wine.
"Drink slowly, don't drink so hard." Li Mu advised Brother Nan.
"It's so long-winded." Brother Nan muttered impatiently, and when he drank again, he drank in small sips.
Cui Peng ate in silence, looking back and forth between Li Mu and Brother Nan.
My heart is filled with tangles.
He originally thought that Li Mu and Brother Nan were lovers, but after spending a day together, he felt that they were a little different.
After thinking for a moment, he asked in a low voice: "You two just got together, right?"
Li Mu picked up the food with chopsticks.
"No, who told you that we are a couple?" Brother Nan glanced at Li Mu and said.
"Isn't it?"
"No, we have a good relationship. He is my little brother."
"No wonder, I said you two don't have close contact like other couples." Cui Peng smiled shyly.
"Ang, that's it. Don't stop using your chopsticks and eat the food."
Under Brother Nan's greeting, we ate a lot of food on the table.
Perhaps because of the presence of outsiders, Brother Nan did not lean back in his chair in a daze as usual after eating.
Cui Peng took out his cell phone and invited Brother Nan to play Landlords with Li Mu.
In fact, neither Brother Nan nor Li Mu really want to play. Brother Nan thinks that Landlord is really not fun if you don't play with money.
Li Mu, on the other hand, is not very interested in playing cards. His understanding of Landlords only goes to the extent of knowing the rules.
In the first one, Brother Nan took out three bombs.
On the second hand, four more were taken out.
After playing a few games, Cui Peng looked at the returned Happy Bean and felt that the game was not interesting.
Then Li Mu put away the dishes and went to wash the dishes.
Brother Nan picked up the kitten and checked his cell phone.
Cui Peng glanced at Brother Nan, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.
Girls like Brother Nan who are tall, bold, and very good-looking are rare. He was attracted by her when they first met.
It was just that he thought that Brother Nan and Li Mu were lovers, so he suppressed his thoughts.
But after hearing Brother Nan say that she and Li Mu were not a couple, she couldn't hold back the thought.
After demonstrating it several times in his mind, Cui Peng plucked up the courage and looked at Brother Nan, ready to ask her for WeChat.
Just as he was about to speak, Brother Nan sat up straight, turned his upper body, pointed his phone at Li Mu, who was washing dishes at the stove, pulled the camera closer, and took a short video.
Cui Peng saw that the short video seemed to have a special effect that made it look ugly.
After finishing the filming, Brother Nan turned back, noticed Cui Peng's gaze, smiled at him, then lowered his head and looked at Li Mu on the screen and laughed.
She also showed it to the kitten lying on her lap, "Do you think Li Mu is ugly?"
"Meow."
"I think so too. This guy is as good-looking as Brother Bennan. The special effects of making him look ugly don't work very well on him."
"Meow~"
Cui Peng silently withdrew his gaze.
