Chapter 104 Narcissus
After An Heng left, Mu Song officially started a life of "eliminating" book lists while updating articles, immersed in it, and was extremely fulfilling.
As for Lu Yuan, as always, he provided three meals on a regular basis, and there were more and more tricks, so that Mu Song's daily meals were like opening a blind box, and he gradually developed an inexplicable sense of anticipation, guessing what he would eat today.
In this way, everything was safe and sound, and half a month later, I saw that I had come to the root of the year.
The Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere of the New Year in the streets and alleys of the city is getting stronger and stronger. It is the first time to celebrate the New Year in his own home.
As he grows older, Mu Song gradually agrees with the truth that only by living a person's life to the fullest can he really know how to enjoy life.
"Alone, live as a team.*"
This sentence is rotten chicken soup on the Internet, but Mu Song thinks it is.
Being able to live a comfortable and orderly life without the company, expectation, and supervision of another person is a manifestation of true love for oneself, and it is a kind of ability.
And people with this ability will definitely be able to make life better for more people.
Because only those who love themselves know what true love and understanding are, and they can love others in the right way.
Mu Song has learned this truth from various books on physical and spiritual healing in recent years.
Before, I had been messing with Lu Yuan all the time, and I didn't have the opportunity to put the theory into practice.
Now that he has made up his mind to regain his own rhythm without being disturbed by anyone, Mu Song decides not to treat himself badly and must live a happy year with plenty of food and clothing.
On this day, after completing the writing and reading tasks, Mu Song saw that it was still early, so he went out with his shopping bags, ready to go to a nearby supermarket.
"Going out?"
Waiting for the elevator to be empty, Lu Yuan opened the door, saw that Mu Song was dressed lightly, thought he was going to an appointment, and asked cautiously.
"Well, go to the supermarket."
"Ah, then wait for me..."
Lu Yuan said, without waiting for Mu Song's reply, he turned and went back to the house, changed his clothes after a while, and hurried out with his coat on.
"What are you going to buy?"
"New Year's goods."
"Oh...just right, I'll go too."
Mu Song turned his face away, looked at Lu Yuan's calm face, and couldn't help his eyelids twitching.
"Aren't you going home for the New Year?"
Understanding the doubt in Mu Song's eyes, Lu Yuan coughed lightly.
"Yeah, you're not going back either."
"I have no home to go back to, how can you... you, you can't do it for..."
Mu Song took a deep breath, the words were choked in his throat, and he couldn't get them out.
Dutiful son Lu, could it be that he didn't go home for the New Year because of him?
I go……
Mu Song couldn't imagine it.
At the beginning, no matter how he hinted or expressed, how softly and stubbornly, returning to Lu's house for the New Year was always Lu Yuan's unshakable red line.
In the first few years, Mu Song would still make troubles, but in the end, after failing again and again, he devoured the loneliness in the bustle and sorrow alone.
Later, Mu Song figured it out.
After all, he is nothing to Lu Yuan, even his "good buddies" are ranked ahead of him.
How could it be possible to "occupy" Lu Yuan alone during this annual family reunion?
After recognizing his identity, Mu Song has been very conscious for the past one or two years, and no longer has such extravagant hopes. Therefore, even today, Lu Yuan speaks so clearly, Mu Song still can't believe it.
"It's not for you, who else..."
Lu Yuan spoke in a low voice, but Mu Song was shocked.
Dog man, really want to not go home for the New Year because of him? !
Surprised, Mu Song was not happy at all.
Thinking of Lu Yuan spending the past six months with himself in City S, except for dealing with a shallow water beach accident in the middle, he really didn't go to the company or go home.
The two high-ranking parents of the Lu family may have accumulated grievances for a long time. If Lu Yuan doesn't go home during the Chinese New Year...
Mu Song is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid that Bai Xu's mother will come to the door again.
If it's Chinese New Year's Eve, if there is a real disturbance, it's unlucky, and it's not good for anyone.
"Don't, if you don't go back, your parents will faint from anger? There are also a bunch of relatives in your family, seven aunts and eight aunts, who haven't seen you, how can I introduce you to a girlfriend..."
"Okay, stop joking..."
Lu Yuan's face sank, and he seemed to be emotional.
"I won't go back if I say I won't go back. Don't ask about anything else."
When he came to S City, Mu Song rarely saw Lu Yuan make a face of himself. When he came to this suddenly, Mu Song was not used to it, but was more affected by Lu Yuan's unexpected mood.
"What? Are you having trouble with your family?"
After entering the elevator, Mu Song asked tentatively.
"No."
Lu Yuan still had a gloomy face, but at least his tone was much calmer.
"Then you should go home and have a look, isn't your family most concerned about the New Year's Eve reunion dinner?"
Mu Song stopped joking, changed his friendly tone, and kindly persuaded him.
"I want to be with you."
With a straight shot by Lu Yuan, Mu Song had no way to retreat.
"Well, at a time like this, family is more important..."
"You are my family too."
……
Mu Song choked and didn't know how to answer, so he heard Lu Yuan muttering again.
"I don't want you to spend the New Year alone in this unfamiliar place."
Facing Lu Yuan's warm eyes, Mu Song was stunned for a moment, then turned his head away.
"I am used to it."
Lu Yuan's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help approaching Mu Song, stretched out his hand, and hooked his clothes.
"Sorry……"
Now, when Lu Yuan apologizes, he doesn't even blink his eyes. Whether it's for the present or for the mistakes he made a long time ago, a sentence of "I'm sorry" represents a thousand words.
"You remember, you promised me a meal, right?"
"What? Oh, yes..."
Looking back on the past, Mu Song felt a little depressed, but he still replied to Lu Yuan one after another, but his tone was a little indifferent.
"So, eat the New Year's Eve dinner with me."
???
Mu Song raised his head abruptly, seeing Lu Yuan's confident appearance, his heart was overwhelmed.
What the hell!
This dog man, wouldn't have planned it since then, right? !
Recalling that more than half a month ago, Lu Yuan was dying in the cold and windy corridor, but after getting his promise to pay for the food, he immediately took away his magic power...
Mu Song felt...a dull pain.
This is so... I was tricked again!
"You promised, the time and place are set by me, you can't say nothing..."
Mu Song was still thinking hard about how to fight back, but Lu Yuan took advantage of the victory to pursue him, leaving him with no chance of turning the tables.
"Okay, as you please."
Mu Song gritted his teeth and admitted this.
The busy time is always too fast, but in the blink of an eye, the New Year's Eve is here.
Mu Song woke up early, pasted the Spring Festival couplets he bought on the door, and put the golden wicker sticks and lucky bamboos into the porcelain vase.
The house was cleaned by a part-time worker only two days ago, and Mu Song simply mopped the floor and wiped the dust. When everything was tidied up, it was almost 12:00.
After promising Lu Yuan to finish the meal together, Mu Song thought that he would start a fire in his new home during the Chinese New Year, so he made himself a pot of dumplings.
After eating, he went to bed and squinted for a while, and when he woke up from his afternoon nap, there was a knock on the door just in time.
"Happy New Year's Eve!"
Lu Yuan stood at the door holding a pot of daffodils.
"A friend went to Zhangzhou and sent two plants. I followed your example and raised them for a few days, but I didn't see the buds cracking. I was worried that it would not bloom today. Who would have thought that two flowers would bloom in one night."
After a period of harmonious coexistence, it was not difficult for Lu Yuan to enter Mu Song's house, and he put the pot of narcissus on Mu Song's coffee table.
Narcissus...
Staring at the pot of verdant flowers, Mu Song was a little dazed.
When grandma was here, every Chinese New Year, she would raise a pot of narcissus.
This is a kind of magical flower, and the flowering period coincides perfectly with the Chinese New Year.
From the 27th and [-]th of the twelfth lunar month to the [-]th day of the first lunar month, when the year is over, the season of flowering just ends.
Therefore, in Mu Song's memory, the New Year always carries the special sweet fragrance of narcissus.
When he was in G City, every New Year, he would go to the flower market, pick a strong narcissus, and grow it on the coffee table in the living room according to the method of grandma's hydroponics in memory, adding a little vitality to the deserted home.
The last time I went to the supermarket with Lu Yuan, Mu Song also wanted to buy one, but I couldn't find it in the potting area. I only found out after asking, that people in S city don't have the tradition of raising narcissus during Chinese New Year.
Originally, Mu Song still felt regretful, but who knew...
Looking at Lu Yuan holding flowers, Mu Song didn't speak until he asked.
"Is it okay to put it here? I remember, you liked to put it on the coffee table before."
"Well, just let it go."
Mu Song nodded, looked away, and was about to pour a glass of water for Lu Yuan when he asked again.
"Are you okay? It's almost time, we can go."
"Where to go?"
Lu Yuan frowned slightly.
"Did you forget that you promised to have New Year's Eve dinner with me today?"
"Oh, I didn't forget, but it's too early."
Mu Song glanced at the time, it was only two o'clock, and it was still early for dinner, he didn't want to spend most of the day with Lu Yuanyao.
"Well, the hotel I booked is a bit far away, so I have to leave early."
"Where is it so far away? Even if you go to the surrounding cities, it's only an hour or two."
"Today is a holiday... Song, just trust me, it's just a meal..."
Looking at Lu Yuan's expression, he was both eager and disappointed, as if he was hurt by his pushy attitude, Mu Song sighed helplessly.
Why bother?
New Year's Eve, don't worry about these...
"Then wait for me to change."
Mu Song went into the cloakroom and quickly changed into casual clothes.
"Is there anything else I need to take?"
"No, I've got them all."
These words are a bit familiar. The last time I heard them was when I went to City H with Bai Xu.
Thinking of Bai Xu, Mu Song's eyes darkened.
This kid doesn't know how he is living in a foreign country.
Chinese New Year, can you come back?
Thinking about Mrs. Bai's aggressive attitude, Mu Song is probably a little suspenseful...
Hey, it's really, really miserable...
Looking at Lu Yuan as the culprit, Mu Song managed to suppress his unhappiness. After all, he didn't want to feel uncomfortable when it was a big festival.
Following Lu Yuan into the car, and glancing at the navigation, Mu Song discovered that Lu Yuanding's restaurant was on a small island in the suburbs tens of kilometers away from the city.
City S is located in Yumi Jiangnan, and there are several large lakes within its jurisdiction, one of which is the largest freshwater lake in the Jiangnan area.
In that lake, there are several small islands, which are famous resorts nearby. When holidays come, even tourists from surrounding cities come here admiringly.
"Why go so far?"
Mu Song put his hands in his pockets and leaned on the back of the chair, as if he didn't quite understand Lu Yuan's arrangement.
Lu Yuan didn't care much, and pursed his lips.
"You will know when you go."
As soon as the steering wheel was turned, the car headed towards the destination, driving quickly and steadily.

The author has something to say:
Mu Song: I always feel...something is wrong?
Lu Yuan: It's okay, wife, trust me!
Mu Song: ...I believe you are evil.
