Chapter 86 The Real You

Mu Qing's words were rude, Yu Yifeng was stunned by his question, but he wasn't annoyed, he just restrained the inappropriate smile on his face, looked at Mu Qing and asked, "If I said it was just a coincidence, you would believe it. me?"

The smile on Yu Yifeng's face has not faded, but Mu Qing's face has no smile at all. He looked at Yu Yifeng's face and asked indifferently, "How can you make me believe you for such an overly elaborate coincidence?"

"I know this sounds ridiculous and unbelievable. After all, out of selfishness, I arranged for you and your colleagues to win the lottery. But I did not lie to you today, we met here, really just coincide."

Yu Yifeng sighed and took out his mobile phone, clicked on the screen to find out the previous chat box, opened it and handed it to Mu Qing: "Look."

Mu Qing didn't expect him to be so straightforward, and before he had time to look away, the news on Yu Yifeng's mobile phone screen came directly into his eyes.

The dialog box on the plain background is a chat record between Yu Yifeng and a certain person. The other party sent a picture with the address of the library and the message of asking Yu Yifeng to help borrow books.

"This is the old gentleman who rented my house. He couldn't go out because of his bad legs and feet recently, but he wanted to recreate the dishes that his wife used to cook for the family when she was alive, so he asked me to borrow recipes from his wife. Help him find this book in his library—the one his wife used to borrow from time to time."

Yu Yifeng looked at Mu Qing and explained to him patiently, "So, we met here today, really not because I wanted to do something that might make you unhappy."

Combined with the news of the time in the chat log and Yu Yifeng's own speech, it sounds like this encounter is really just an accident. But...it doesn't seem so accidental either.

Mu Qing raised his eyebrows: "Really? But if I read the introduction of the library section at the entrance just now, the recipe should be in the C03 area opposite. You can find it here in the famous book area - huh."

He smiled lightly, and added the follow-up words without hesitation: "Is it because the book with "100 New Home Cooking Dishes 2020 Edition" written on the cover was born around 1800?"

There was a feeling that Yu Yifeng was very familiar with in these words, which was unique to Mu Qing, the kind of yin and yang that was gentle, reserved and a little aggressive.

Yu Yifeng looked at Mu Qing's unkind gaze, but couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I admit, it's really not a chance encounter for me to appear here, but when I first walked into the library, I happened to be there. saw you."

Mu Qing didn't answer, but his eyes were full of distrust.

Yu Yifeng sighed again, and simply made the rest of his words completely straightforward: "I just saw you coming here, so I plan to come over and say hello. The purpose of greeting is to refresh the sense of existence, I'm afraid You forgot there was Yu Yifeng - but as soon as I walked around the bookshelf, I saw a few books on top of your head shaking. I grabbed you before I could call you, that's why we're in such a hurry See you on the ground."

He couldn't be more clear about what he said, and finally said to Mu Qing: "If you still think I can't be trusted, then we can go to the front desk to check the monitoring. I really didn't follow you."

Mu Qing was silent for a moment, without nodding in agreement, but did not continue to question him. After all, although Yu Yifeng's previous behavior was somewhat unreliable, he had never done such extremely uncomfortable behavior as following.

The librarian walked over from the next door pushing a cart with books, and saw that the two people who were almost in danger were still there, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes showed some praise and gratitude: "Two gentlemen Are you helping me look at the book on the floor, worried that someone will step on it? You are so warm and kind, thank you so much!"

Not two people left because of enthusiasm and kindness:  …

When the librarian saw that neither of them responded immediately, there was a little hesitation on his face. Mu Qing quickly reacted, smiled and chatted with him, and when the chat was over, he turned around and left mercilessly.

Yu Yifeng knew the truth of letting go when he saw it. He didn't intend to continue to stimulate Mu Qing, so he stood there for a while, intending to wait for Mu Qing to go further before going out. Seeing this, the librarian next to him asked him in surprise, "Aren't you going to have a drink with that gentleman?"

"Well, I really want to go have a drink with him. But unfortunately, this is just my one-sided proposal, and he has no desire to be friends with me yet."

"Oh, what a pity." The librarian gave him a sympathetic look and comforted, "But it doesn't matter, Moscow wasn't built in a day. As long as you meet again, you can definitely make friends."

"Thank you, I feel the same way." Yu Yifeng said with a smile, politely bid him farewell, turned and walked towards the cookbook area.

The colors of the books in the cooking area are very different from those in the classics area. The colorful spines are neatly arranged on the shelf, and if you open a book and double it, you will be hooked.

Although the Internet search is very convenient now, there are still many people here. Yu Yifeng walked through the slightly crowded crowd, and it took some effort to find the book on the picture.

The heating in the library is very high, and you will feel thirsty if you stay for a long time. Yu Yifeng licked his slightly dry lips, and planned to go to the drink area on the edge to buy a drink and take a rest, and then go to register the book and take it away.

The commercial area is a bit less crowded than the previous cooking area, but not less than usual. Yu Yifeng took the book and casually swept through the guests, but when he glanced at the corner, the person who saw him suddenly pinned him in place.

It was Mu Qing.

He was sitting by the window in the commercial area, next to him was a young man who couldn't see his appearance. The two were very close to each other, and there was a faint laugh. Mu Qing also took the hand he handed over to him. Things, attitude is indescribable intimacy.

For a moment, Yu Yifeng's brain was almost blank.

Before chasing after him, he didn't think about the possibility that there would be others around Mu Qing, but he subconsciously refused to make up this situation as real - after all, according to the information he got before, he really came here with Mu Qing. The person who has such a distance is only himself.

But now there are other people sitting next to Mu Qing.

Anger instinctively burned in his heart, Yu Yifeng clenched the book in his hand, and subconsciously wanted to walk over to drive away the people around Mu Qing, but before he could take a step, Mu Qing suddenly raised his head and moved towards him. Yu Yifeng glanced in the direction.

His eyes that were as cold as ice and snow were like a basin of cold water pouring down from Yu Yifeng's head, instantly quenching his almost boiling jealousy and anger in his chest.

When he was in China, he and Mu Qing were separated so tragically, and a considerable part of the reason was that he had obtained one-sided information and made speculations, and then he did irreversible things again and again.

Now that I have finally rediscovered my former love in a foreign country, do I have to completely ruin the possibility of the two of them reconnecting with each other for the same reason?

Yu Yifeng kept reminding himself that this was just a misunderstanding, clenched his fists and forced himself to calm down, and walked to the counter with a nonchalant expression: "A cup of caramel mocha."

He tried to calm himself down by the time he waited, and Mu Qing on the window sill didn't look much better at the moment.

The students next to Mu Qing saw that the teacher's face suddenly turned cold, and they were shocked and worried: "Old, teacher, is there something wrong with my thesis?"

"No, you wrote very well." Seeing that Yu Yifeng didn't want to make trouble, Mu Qing withdrew his attention and continued to focus on the small problems in the thesis to the students.

Time passed minute by minute, and when the sun turned to the west and the lights in the library turned on, the students who asked for help left gratefully.

Yu Yifeng sat on the edge of the other side of the business district with his back to them, the caramel mocha in his hand had already cooled down, but he had no intention of leaving.

Just now when he was looking for the position with the cup, he found that there were study materials on the table. After sitting there for a while, he realized that it was just a student asking a question.

Yu Yifeng's reason kept telling him that he should leave, but his feet didn't obey him and stubbornly stuck him in place.

He hadn't heard Mu Qing's gentle voice for too long, and he hadn't heard Mu Qing's smile without haze for too long.

Such a gentle Mu Qing reminded Yu Yifeng subconsciously of the previous days in Chaohai. He and Mu Qing walked side by side to the teaching building. At that time, Mu Qing also smiled and said hello to the person who greeted him with a reserved manner. Do everything that the "Flower of the High Mountains" in his mind will do.

The frivolous and arrogant Mu Qing in the bar and the gentle Mu Qing in the school alternately appeared in his mind, making him unable to tell which one was real and which one was fake. The only certainty is that no matter which one, it has a fatal attraction to him.

"Boom."

A colorful candy slammed into the table in front of him, bounced lightly, and jumped onto the open recipe in front of him.

Yu Yifeng raised his head, Mu Qingzheng put the hand that had thrown the candy into his pocket, and said to him lightly, "Thank you for not making a fuss just now."

"I—" Yu Yifeng wanted to say that I didn't plan to make trouble at all, I just wanted to hear your voice, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly changed to another sentence, "I want to ask you a question."

It was rare for Mu Qing to see such a well-written paper, and he was in a better mood than when he first saw Yu Yifeng, so he didn't turn around and leave immediately: "What?"

Yu Yifeng met his gaze and took a deep breath: "I want to ask - which one of you is the real you?"

A few years later, every time Yu Yifeng recalled the day's problems, he would sigh deeply: Was I sick at the time?
