Chapter 105 The Covenant
The way to the small island is the main road out of S City. At this point, it is crowded with returning families going to the reunion dinner.
Fortunately, after listening to Lu Yuan's arrangement, the original one-hour drive took more than two hours, and it was already past four o'clock when we arrived.
The car parked steadily in front of a small courtyard with a single family. There were a few red plum trees that had bloomed early, and they jumped over the fence built by logs and jumped into Mu Song's eyes.
"Yo, this environment is not bad."
After getting out of the car, Mu Song looked around and boasted casually, and Lu Yuan immediately accepted his "affirmation" with a smile.
"Guess you'll like it."
Mu Song's eyelids twitched and he didn't speak again.
"Let's go, the boss has prepared all the refreshments."
Lu Yuan stretched out his hand naturally, but Mu Song dodged, dodging his embrace, and pushed the door into the yard first.
With his hands frozen in mid-air, Lu Yuan felt a little lost, but he quickly calmed down and followed the yard.
After all, the main event is yet to come.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mu Song standing under a tree of red plums, with his face upturned, as if he was smelling the faint fragrance of flowers.
At this moment, the setting sun is flowing gold, slanting on the flower trees, like a heavy-colored oil painting, and even the people standing beside it are reflected into shining people in the painting, which is unreal beauty.
"Mr. Lu, you are here!"
With a call, the two people inside and outside the painting came back to their senses, and looked at the proprietress who was coming up.
"Well, today, I'm in trouble."
"Oh, what are you talking about, come in quickly, it's cold outside."
The proprietress warmly welcomed them into the house, and Mu Song looked around, and found that the style of the store was very simple, and it was a new Chinese style that was popular in recent years, but Mu Song really liked it.
"The two of you will drink tea first, and the dishes are still being prepared. I guess it will be ready at five o'clock."
"No problem, you go first."
After the proprietress warmly introduced various refreshments and how to add tea and water, she exited the private room.
"Not bad, how did you find this store?"
"Before, a business partner came and ate here a few times."
"Oh……"
Hearing this explanation, Mu Song was faintly relieved.
For him, Lu Yuan has stayed in this city for half a year, no matter what the relationship between them is, Mu Song is still a little uncomfortable.
He didn't want Lu Yuan's career to be affected because of him.
Because, no one knows better than him that it is the achievement that Lu Yuan has spent so much effort and achieved step by step.
If it is said that in the past ten years, he has put most of his energy and enthusiasm on Lu Yuan, then Lu Yuan has put almost as much effort on his career.
Comparing his heart to his heart, Mu Song didn't want to see such a dedication, which eventually turned into nothing.
He has experienced that kind of heart-wrenching pain, and he doesn't want anyone else to have a similar experience, even if this person is Lu Yuan.
Therefore, when he heard that Lu Yuan did not interrupt the necessary business communication because he came to S City, Mu Song heaved a sigh of relief, but he also knew that no matter how you say it, there will be some influence.
Not to mention, the work efficiency affected by telecommuting is that the energy and time spent on him every day also take up a lot of energy that he should have put on work.
Mu Song thought about it, and felt that he could try to talk to Lu Yuan again on this good day of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.
"Well, when do you plan to go back?"
"Where are you going back?"
"G City."
"In a few days, I will go back to visit relatives and friends, and I will come back after a new year's greetings."
Lu Yuan answered very slyly, as if a husband who was celebrating the New Year at his wife's house, expressing his plan to return home as soon as possible, flattering and comforting, waiting for his lover at home.
"Lu Yuan..."
Mu Song opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
In fact, what can be said, in the past few months, he has said it many times over and over again, but it has no effect at all.
Lu Yuan is still the same, and even keeps innovating, expressing his love and determination in various unexpected ways.
At this point, no matter what to say, it seems very pale.
"what happened?"
"Is everything going well with your company?"
Mu Song thought about it for a while, and it was better to start from the shallower to the deeper, to be persuasive and persuasive, which is more reliable than the big talk of persuading him to quit.
"It went well."
Lu Yuan answered without any hesitation, as if he wanted to give Mu Song a reassurance.
Mu Song didn't believe it.
"Is it okay for you to stay in City S all this time?"
Lu Yuan blinked, his long eyelashes were reflected by a bunch of setting sun from outside the window, casting a shadow, but his eyes were extraordinarily beautiful, like two altars of wine brewed with peach blossoms.
"I know what you're worried about. I won't lie to you. It really doesn't matter. Otherwise, my dad would have killed me long ago."
Mu Song was silent for a while, these words touched his heart.
Lu Yuan's father, although in recent years, as Lu Yuan's status has gradually stabilized and gradually started to be in a semi-retirement state, he still holds the bottom line very firmly.
If Lu Yuan really went too far, Chairman Lu must have tied him back, too. How can he be allowed to mess around here?
But if you think about it further, Lu Yuan spent less time and energy on work in the past six months than before, and he still works remotely. How could it be unaffected?
Mu Song was a little curious.
Lu Yuan seemed to have guessed his thoughts, took a sip of tea, and the old god sighed on the ground.
"Actually, I am quite grateful for this period of time, which allowed me to grow a lot.
In the past, I always felt that everything must be done by myself, and only when everything is in place can I guarantee that there will be no mistakes.
Moreover, when working, there is no restraint, and I always want to do as much as possible, but work, where is the work done?
In the past six months, after being separated from the original model, I realized that what I did before was actually not right.
Force yourself into a spinning top, and even the people around you are tense and stressed.
Jumping out to see, in fact, quite unnecessary. "
Mu Song was taken aback by Lu Yuan's heartfelt words, surprised, but somehow relieved.
Apart from himself, Lu Yuan's high-speed gyro state is understood best by Mu Song.
Except for falling asleep, at other times, he is almost constantly dealing with various people and dealing with various things.
Two mobile phones, often one has not been hung up, and the other rings again. Multi-threading keeps pace with each other, and there is always a need to constantly switch to deal with it.
As someone close to him, Mu Song was very worried when he saw him working so hard.
Not only was he afraid that his body would not be able to bear it, but he was also worried that the string in his heart that was always tense would suddenly break one day.
But no matter how worried Mu Song was, he never persuaded Lu Yuan to stop, take a break, and stop working so hard.
Because, it's useless.
Mu Song knew that Lu Yuan's almost pathological work fanaticism had deep roots.
The expectation from his family that runs through his growth is not only the driving force for him to advance all the way, but also undoubtedly the shackles that cannot allow him to retreat. How can it be untied by a few words?
At least, Mu Song didn't think that his words could be used as the key to unlock it, so he didn't bother.
He can only supervise Lu Yuan's diet and fitness to ensure his health, and at the same time try to make Lu Yuan happy. In the short leisure time, it is good to forget about the troubles of work for a while, even for a moment.
Who would have thought that one day, Lu Yuan would have such an awareness by himself, which made Mu Song not so concerned about whether he had delayed any work because of him.
"It's good that you can think that way."
Mu Song nodded and gave a sincere affirmation.
"Yeah, I've figured it out, and everything has been solved. Let's put those anxious things aside, and look at them later, but I will have more ideas.
Moreover, over the years, the people below have also grown up. If I stare too closely, I am exhausted, and they are uncomfortable, but the overall efficiency has dropped.
Now, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, everyone has more ideas than before.As for me, I finally realized what it means to "govern with the arch", and it was a lot easier. "
Lu Yuan smiled, poured some hot tea for Mu Song, intentionally or unintentionally, leaned in front of Mu Song.
"So, while I'm glad you're worried about me, don't try to drive me away with this."
Mu Song: ...
"I'm not worried about you. You are so capable. Do you need me to worry? I just don't want you to waste time and effort in vain."
Mu Song took a sip of tea, turned his head, and looked out of the window. In the setting sun, those red plum trees danced with the wind, like flames, which was really beautiful.
"How can it be a waste of time?"
"You and I are doomed. The further we go, the farther we will be. If there is no result, what is it if it's not a waste of time?"
"You... why are you so sure that we are going to get farther and farther away?"
"Isn't it? In the past, I was the one who followed you, and everything was based on your plan.
Now, I also have my career and life, and I am not even in the same city. No one will accommodate others, and naturally each goes his own way. "
Mu Song turned his head and looked at Lu Yuan with a calm expression, without any emotion, as if he was just explaining a fact.
"I will accommodate you."
"Pfft...you're joking."
"No."
"Heh, you can speak beautiful words. As far as the matter of different places is concerned, I don't believe that you can really fly between two places..."
"How do you know I can't do it?!"
When Lu Yuan raised his voice suddenly, Mu Song was taken aback, and when he saw Lu Yuan's anxious and angry gaze, his heart felt even more numb.
After being stunned for a while, he quietly opened his mouth.
"One day, one month, one year, how long can you last? Can you last ten years?"
"What if I did it?"
Lu Yuan approached a little bit, just blocking the light from the window, the tall shadow, pressing over like a hill, brought Mu Song a stronger sense of oppression than usual.
"Ahem, you can talk about it after you do it."
Mu Song suppressed his beating heart, lowered his head, and avoided Lu Yuan's sharp edge.
"it is good."
Lu Yuan turned back, sat up straight, and looked at Mu Song very seriously, as if he had made a solemn promise.
Mu Song: ...
How did things become like this? ? ?
Originally, he wanted to persuade Lu Yuan to stop, but this time, it seemed that he had reached some agreement with him.
Mu Song was upset, but fortunately, the food was brought in at the right time, so there was no need to continue this topic.
I can't tell whether it's the festive atmosphere or the frank and honest conversation just now. This is the first New Year's Eve dinner that they have known each other for ten years, and they are quite harmonious.
Mu Song ate a lot and talked less, mainly relying on Lu Yuan to bring up the topic, Mu Song only replied one after another.
The two had a tacit understanding, and they didn't touch the sensitive points that would cause disputes. Instead, they talked a lot about issues that they would never talk about before.
It was only after this chat that they discovered that their thoughts had so many points of agreement. At the end of the chat, both of them inevitably sighed in their hearts—they really missed a lot in the past ten years.
But at the same time, there is no doubt that they have been with each other for the past ten years, and these amazing fits, perhaps, are all silent marks left on each other.

The author has something to say:
Lu Yuan: My wife, we have such a tacit understanding that we are inseparable.
Mu Song: Even if you have had a dog for ten years, there is probably a tacit understanding.
Lu Yuan: ...
