Chapter 81 "Unexpected Joy"

A few days after seeing Yu Yifeng, Mu Qing felt subconsciously tense for a moment every time he entered the classroom in class. He was really worried that after opening the door one day, the person he didn't want to see again would appear in a certain row of the classroom.

But maybe the words he said on the day of the reunion played a role, or maybe there were other reasons. After that day, Yu Yifeng never appeared in front of Mu Qing again.

He really seemed to give up.

For such an ending, Mu Qing should have been happy to see it happen. But for some reason, he was relieved, but his mood was not as relaxed and happy as he thought. Especially when the period is approaching the end of the period, once he is free, he will always remember Yu Yifeng's red eyes that day, and the almost desperate, but still stubborn eyes.

It was me who said it decisively, but it was me who couldn't forget it. Mu Qing felt that this was unreasonable, and he had never been a person who liked to be sloppy.

After listening to his troubles, Gong Shichen understood his mood very well: "A kitten or a puppy who has been raised for half a year, suddenly separated will make people feel uncomfortable, let alone a big living person? Emotions are normal, and it will be fine after a while.”

Mu Qing naturally understood what he was saying, but it was one thing to understand it, and it was another thing to let it go.

The person who should have faded from memory over time became clear again because of that unexpected episode, but the past was already in a mess, and he didn't want to let himself fall into the same inextricable quagmire as before. .

It was extremely cold in St. Petersburg in December. When Mu Qing came to the teachers' lounge with his homework, the sky outside the window was overcast and snowflakes were flying.

After saying hello to the people who were already in the lounge, Mu Qing went straight to the window, opened the homework in his hand, looked at the handwriting on the fly and the answer that was almost half wrong, sighed resignedly, wrinkled. With brows, he patiently marked one by one, and after finishing the correction, he put down the pen in his hand, and was about to get up and move around, but a beautiful little box was suddenly placed in front of him.

The fingers painted with colorful nail polish turned the small box, and in the transparent box lid, a cute pink bunny showed a silly smile to Mu Qing.

"Merry Christmas!"

In the passionate female voice, Mu Qing raised his head and looked at the fiery red-haired Spanish colleague in front of him: "Thank you Elena, but isn't Christmas on the seventh of next month?"

Elena grabbed another handful of brightly colored candies and put them in front of him: "They do that locally, but I'm Spanish and I celebrate ours."

After she finished speaking, she whistled and continued to distribute cakes in the small lounge. Congratulations and questions sounded one after another, and the atmosphere instantly became lively, which also dispelled the vague gloom in Mu Qing's heart.

He took apart the little cake that Irina had given him, took off the small spoon stuck to the side, dug a spoon out of the bunny's head and put it into his mouth.

The dense and sweet taste instantly melts in the mouth, and the white chocolate filling adds a heaviness to the taste. The corners of Mu Qing's lips curved, and he couldn't help but say, "It's delicious."

"It's delicious!" After delivering the cake, Irina returned to the position opposite Mu Qing, looked at his stretched brows and smiled smugly, "This is what I got in the lottery at the cake shop near the school! A total of A box of six cupcakes is just enough for each of us in class today!"

"Lottery draw?" Mu Qing looked at the very delicate little cake in his hand and said sincerely, "Then your luck is indeed very good."

Elena raised her eyebrows and was about to introduce this cake shop to him in detail, but suddenly a voice came from beside her:

"The new cake shop? Is it the one on the high street?"

"Yes!" Irina looked at the blonde sitting in the corner and asked her with a smile, "Mr. Yulia, do you like desserts too?"

Yulia sighed: "To be honest, these desserts are indeed very attractive to me. But I'm losing weight recently, so I can't buy more, so I have to bypass that commercial street every day to go to work, which is really exhausting!"

Her face was full of worry, but Elena was still cheerful: "Don't worry about that, Yulia! Happiness is the most important thing, what are you afraid of when you're fat! Can't you just come back from exercising?"

Yulia shook her head: "I would rather endure not eating desserts, and definitely not exercise."

"Okay." Elena shrugged, "Then I wish you a body like Mr. Mu that won't get fat no matter what."

Sitting quietly by the window and eating cake, he didn't participate in the topic of women, but Mu Qing, who was suddenly mentioned, blinked and slowly put down the spoon in his hand, facing the unanimous gazes of several female teachers in the office: "Actually, Mainly I don't usually eat cake much."

"Mr. Mu really doesn't eat cake very much." The only male teacher in the office took out his wife's new handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then said slowly, "He just likes sweets for breakfast, lunch and dinner."

Mu Qing: ........

He smiled bitterly and looked at the gray-haired old man helplessly: "Professor Sergey, you—"

Professor Sergey pretended not to hear, picked up the briefcase at hand, and walked out quickly: "My wife said that I made a delicious beet soup tonight, I'm going home first, goodbye everyone!"

After he finished cheating on Mu Qing, he left without any burden in his heart, leaving Mu Qing alone to accept the "torture" of the female teacher in the office, explaining things like "This is not the magic of the Orientals, it's just that I have a special physique." And questions like "my blood sugar is very normal". It was not until half an hour later that Mu Qing finally escaped from the office with difficulty.

However, these teachers themselves didn't really want to find out something from Mu Qing, but he was usually too gentle and modest, and elegant like some perfect character made up by a novelist. This time, he finally showed a little bit. With a different attitude than usual, everyone saw it and wanted to take the opportunity to chat a few more words.

The temperature in the corridor was obviously much colder than the teachers' lounge, but Mu Qing didn't stop to tidy up his coat, but took the lead and walked out quickly.

Although he is not disgusted with the normal communication with his colleagues, he still has no interest in participating in this model of women's tea party.

Mu Qing walked out of the teaching building along the corridor, and the icy cold wind hit with the flying snow, proclaiming the extreme cold today.

He tidied up the scarf that was nearly blown away and walked out along the main road. But when he reached the school gate, he did not go home, but turned around and came to the commercial street next to the school.

The little cakes that Irina distributed today are really delicious. He lives not far from the school. It only takes ten minutes to go around the commercial street to buy some and take them home.

He walked towards the commercial street in the wind and snow, fumbling with his hands in his pockets, trying to find the shop card that Elena had just forcibly shoved him. But as soon as the business card was touched in his hand, a tantalizing scent suddenly rushed over along with the cold winter wind.

The smell was too tempting, and Mu Qing subconsciously looked in the direction of the fragrance, so the warm lighting and the cute cake shop suddenly came into view.

It seems that there is no need to look for business cards and addresses.

Mu Qing wrapped the scarf tightly and walked towards the store in the wind and snow.

The moment the door was opened, a stronger fruity and milky scent than the one I had just smelled came to the nostrils. In the sound of "ding dong", the warm greetings from the clerk were uniformly passed into Mu Qing's ears: "Good evening. !"

"Good evening." Mu Qing responded, but did not immediately go inside.

Due to the sudden change in temperature, his glasses were covered with a thin layer of frost, and the opaque white surface was covered tightly. He had to temporarily remove the glasses and wipe them with the towel he carried with him.

The cashier girl behind the counter was in a drowsy state. She saw that Mu Qing, who walked into the store, looked like a foreigner, and that even though she had a different aesthetic, it was obvious that she looked much better than ordinary people. face, eyes suddenly lit up.

She immediately took out her mobile phone and opened the photos in the album. After carefully checking with the person at the door, she quickly sent a message to the work group in the store: Attention! That person seems to be here!

At the same time, the blonde clerk who was slowly putting bread in front of the transparent glass cabinet also sent a message: confirm that he looks exactly the same as the photo given by the boss.

After a moment of silence, the group suddenly became lively:

Wow!

OK!

——[Cat nods]

......

Mu Qing naturally didn't know how the dark tide was surging in their group. After the mist on the glasses dissipated, he put them back on and began to observe the goods displayed in the dessert cabinet of the store.

The storefront of this store is not small, and the variety of desserts is also very complete, or rather, some are too complete. In the clear and clean glass cabinet, in addition to the common types of desserts, there are other famous desserts from other countries, including all kinds of Chinese-style cakes.

The clerk who was closely watching his movements saw him standing in front of the Chinese dessert cabinet, and immediately followed him and introduced with a smile: "This is a Chinese dessert called 'Peach Blossom Shortcake', very delicious. If the guests are curious, would you like me to get a piece for you to taste?"

Mu Qing looked at his overly enthusiastic smile, raised his brows, and gently declined his kindness: "Thank you, no need."

He was about to go to see other desserts, but the blond boy followed behind him and began to introduce: "Actually, there are not so many varieties in our store, but our boss said that his lover likes desserts very much. The boss hopes that when the 'he' comes to the store one day, he can find any dessert he wants, so he has prepared so much."

Xiao Ge deliberately emphasized the male "he", and Mu Qing naturally did not miss his almost explicit hint.

Things like homosexuality are unpopular in many countries, especially the land under his feet, which can be called heresy. The clerk hinted like this, probably because he hoped to ask himself, so that he could talk about a little deep love to create a character design. But no matter what his purpose was, Mu Qing didn't want to listen to such routine stories anymore.

He is allergic to love.

Therefore, after hearing this, Mu Qing just smiled slightly: "Really? Then they must be very happy."

Bro:..........

The words he prepared were blocked by Mu Qing in his throat, and when he saw Mu Qing's "don't disturb me" almost written on his face, he had to regret silently for a moment before returning to his original position.

The wind and snow outside became quieter, and Mu Qing planned to take advantage of this time to go home, so he randomly chose a few desserts that he liked more. When he came to the counter to check out, the cashier girl said to him with a warm smile: "Sir, there is a lucky draw event in our store recently. As long as you buy desserts and check out, you can draw a lottery. Would you like to try it?"

Mu Qing has never been very keen on this kind of activity, so he declined again: "Thank you, but I don't really need it."

"But it's free!" The cashier girl saw that he didn't want to participate, and her face became tense immediately. "After paying the bill, it is equivalent to participating in the lottery. You don't need to do anything extra, sir, don't worry!"

"Sorry, I—" Mu Qing originally wanted to refuse, but after seeing her expression, his tone suddenly stopped subtly.

How does she look at herself, why is she so eager to look at the prize of some grand prize?

Thinking about it carefully, since entering this cake shop, the enthusiasm of the clerks around them seems to have completely surpassed the enthusiasm for treating a customer.

He subconsciously glanced back at the store, peeking at him through the transparent glass cabinet, and the clerk who peeked at him while slowly replenishing the bread all immediately retracted their gazes.

Thinking about the big box of unbelievably delicious desserts that Yelena suddenly won this afternoon, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be some truth that he didn't want to know, and he was about to reveal it in front of him.

Just need to do one more small experiment.

He looked into the eyes of the cashier girl and smiled softly: "Since you insist on it like this - well, I will participate."

Seeing that the target that was about to fly away suddenly returned to her hand, the cashier girl immediately turned her surprise into joy and helped him settle the bill with a smile on her face. The moment the receipt was spat out, an exaggerated smile appeared on her face: "Mr. God! You are so lucky! You got the first prize in our shop!"

Standing in front of the counter, Mu Qing quietly listened to her introducing the rewards she was about to get in a loud voice. After hearing "Free Lifetime Desserts of Your Choice" and "You can ask the store owner to help you make any desserts you want", she still didn't. I couldn't help sighing: "Is this really a free lottery in your store?"

"Of course!" The little girl at the cashier's face froze with laughter. "Our boss said that since we are going to send blessings when the New Year is approaching, of course we have to send them bigger!"

"Is that so?" Mu Qing lowered his eyelids and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "I'm sorry, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, you can ask whatever you want!" The cashier girl was enthusiastic.

"Is your 'boss' a Chinese?"

The cashier girl blinked, and finally realized that she seemed to have screwed up.

Her eyes floated around the store as if asking for help, and the little brother pretending to organize the shelves finally couldn't bear it anymore, and came out and said to Mu Qing: "Sir, our boss is just upstairs, if you need to order desserts now. , do you want to go upstairs and chat with him face to face?"

"Just?" Mu Qing tasted the word "pin", and after a moment of silence, he did not agree as the two shop assistants thought, "Forget it, I don't need to customize desserts now."

After he finished speaking, he put the amount to be paid on the counter, turned around and was about to walk out, but before he took a few steps, hurried footsteps suddenly came from upstairs: "Sir, please wait a moment. !"

Mu Qing turned his head, the slightly fat baker had already rushed to the door with agility that did not fit his body, blocking his way: "Sir, our boss heard the news that someone had won the lottery upstairs, he is very kind to you. I'm curious, and I happen to have a freshly made dessert at hand, would you like to try it first?"

At this time, it was time to get off work, and the number of people in the store gradually increased.

Mu Qing felt the gazes of the people around him gradually gathering on him, and sighed as if in compromise: "Okay, then I'll go see him."

A quiz that doesn't require a quiz: who's upstairs
