The time of the city

Chapter 106 A woman’s blush is also a stunning sight

"Mr. Ni, Mr. Ni," the secretary called Ni Jiamu several times while holding the documents, but he didn't respond. He just stared at the phone in his hand, as if thinking about something.

After calling a few more times, he still didn't respond. The secretary couldn't help but step forward and pat him on the shoulder. Ni Jiamu was so frightened that he almost dropped his phone, but he quickly regained his composure.

"What are you doing? Don't you know to knock before coming in?"

"Mr. Ni, I called you several times, but you didn't respond, so I tapped you. Here's a document that needs your signature."

"Give it to me, and make louder noises next time."

The secretary, holding the signed document, turned around and began to giggle. After leaving the office, she quickly took out her phone and sent a message in the group chat:

"Mr. Ni seems to have been heartbroken. I just went into the office to ask him for his signature. I called him several times but he didn't respond. He just stared at his phone with a frown that could kill a mosquito. He looked so lost."

After the secretary left, Ni Jiamu immediately picked up his phone again. Ten minutes had passed, and Mo Yu still hadn't replied. In the past, if Mo Yu hadn't replied for an hour or two, he wouldn't have been as upset as he was today.

He was like a child who was afraid of losing his candy, eager yet extremely cautious.

Since they had plenty of time, the two of them walked to Jingxing Street. Unlike the bustling commercial street, this place is more casual. Coming to this street, it feels like the pace of life has slowed down a lot.

Most of the people living on this street are elderly people and children. Walking on the street, you can see grandmothers taking leisurely walks with their grandchildren, grandfathers drinking tea and chatting, and children chasing each other for a piece of malt candy.

Look, a few artistic young men used cameras to capture this pleasant moment.

Hearing the hawking, Mo Yu ran over and bought a large sweet potato, which was steaming hot and extremely hot. "Xiao Xiao, we'll each have half, you take the big one."

After dividing the sweet potatoes, they stuffed them directly into their mouths regardless of whether they were hot or not. Both of them grimaced from the heat. In life, we can always find fun in these little things.

"Xiaoyu, I like November to February the most." Moyu smiled happily while holding the sweet potato.

"Why? It's so cold." She shrank her neck as she said this.

“November is for beautiful clothes, December has snow and Christmas trees, January is for the New Year, and February is when the weather warms up and everything comes back to life, full of hope!”

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, Mo Yu's eyes sparkled. "It's good to hear you say that, but we're not children anymore. Do we still need to buy new clothes?"

"Just because you're not a child doesn't mean you can't buy new clothes?" Lin Xiao said proudly.

After eating the sweet potatoes, the two of them went shopping in a boutique for a few hours, bought many identical but useless gadgets of all sizes, and then went to have lunch.

In the afternoon, we went to the nail salon to get a manicure. Lin Xiao’s original words were, “Christmas is coming soon, we have to do Christmas manicures in advance and crush them.” Lin Xiao would crush others in countless aspects, but studying was the only thing she was crushed by.

"Miss, your finger is injured, you can't do it."

"Ah, can't we do it? It would be so embarrassing to have one less person. I'll kill Qiao Mu when I get back."

Mo Yu smiled and joked, "They take such good care of you. They cook for you every day, help you get grades, and do your homework for you. It's like a free babysitter."

"It's because of him that I got my hand injured. But I really think Qiao Mu is pretty good, I hadn't noticed it before."

"Eh~ You're not falling in love with him, are you? What about Qiao Feng?"

Lin Xiao blushed. "I just treat him as a brother. I must marry Qiao Feng. My dad has been in frequent contact with Grandpa Qiao recently. The strangest thing is, Grandpa Qiao asked me if I knew that my family had a laboratory. I said my family runs a hospital, not scientists."

Ni Jiamu came out of the meeting, but there was still no news from Mo Yu on his phone. She had no classes in the afternoon, so she had time to check her phone. Xiao Yu was really angry. Thinking of this, he felt bitter.

He thought for a while and sent a few more messages to Mo Yu.

"Is Xiaoyu painting? Or is she outside?"

"I'm about to get off work. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll bring it back."

After Mo Yu finished her manicure, she opened her phone and saw two more messages from Ni Jiamu. He had sent her photos of herself and Lin Xiao getting their manicures done. "Outside, no."

Seeing that Mo Yu replied to the message immediately, Ni Jiamu was much happier. She even sent him a photo, proving that she was sharing her life. Xiao Yu should have calmed down. Xiao Yu's hands are really beautiful, and they look even better with a manicure.

He grinned foolishly, typing away on his phone. "Xiaoyu's manicure is beautiful. Is it done? I'll pick you up and we can go home together."

Lin Xiao looked at her hands with great satisfaction. "Xiaoyu, let's go drink milk tea. We finally came to this street, so we must drink the handmade milk tea made by an old lady. You're not in a hurry to go back, are you?"

Mo Yu glanced at the message and turned off her phone. "No rush to go back."

After waiting for a while, Mo Yu had no more messages, and Ni Jiamu began to feel sad again. Xiao Yu was still angry. Was I wrong in what I said just now?

After leaving the nail salon, the two held hands and went to the milk tea shop that Lin Xiao mentioned.

But they vaguely heard someone calling Mo Yu's name, "Xiao Yu" they heard more clearly, and they both turned around, it was Xiao Hecheng.

Not far away, a boy in a white shirt was running towards them. He was facing the sunset, his hair flying in the wind. He looked like a handsome senior from a school idol drama.

At sunset, the sky was filled with brilliant sunset glow, and beyond the horizon were scattered clouds. The boy just ran towards them with an unadorned smile on his face.

"Hey handsome guy, who is Xiaoyu?" Lin Xiao excitedly poked Mo Yu beside her.

"The same one I went out with yesterday."

"You are so good, Xiaoyu. You have a handsome guy but you don't share him. No wonder Brother Jiamu is going crazy. Who wouldn't feel a sense of crisis after seeing this?"

Xiao Hecheng ran up to them and said, "I saw you from a distance."

"Hecheng, this is my good friend Lin Xiao, but why are you here?"

"I live here. The apartment the gallery arranged for me is here. I came out to buy paint." After saying this, he raised the paint in his hand.

Lin Xiao became even more excited. "You are also a painter, so we are kindred spirits. Let's go drink milk tea together."

The three of them arrived at the milk tea shop. Mo Yu had just finished ordering milk tea when Ni Jiamu sent another message: "I'm off work. Xiaoyu, send me the location and I'll pick you up."

Mo Yu scratched her head, thinking about how to reply, when Ni Jiamu called her. Mo Yu frowned and answered the call, "Hello, brother."

"Xiaoyu, why didn't you reply to the message I just sent you?"

"did not see it."

"Where are you now? I'll pick you up."

"Xiao Yu, your milk tea is ready. I'll put it here for you." Xiao Hecheng's voice was clearly audible.

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone. If she hadn't heard his breathing, Mo Yu would have thought Ni Jiamu had hung up.

"No need to pick me up." Mo Yu hung up the phone immediately after saying that.

Ni Jiamu clenched his fist and pounded it on the steering wheel, tearing the wound and oozing blood. He made a phone call, "Help me find out where Mo Yu is, right now."

"Xiao Hecheng, how's your painting?"

"Don't humiliate yourself. How can it be bad for someone to work in a gallery?" Mo Yu said vaguely while biting the straw.

Xiao Hecheng rubbed his head and said, "Xiaoyu, I have a small art exhibition next week. The gallery wants to introduce me to the public. Do you want to come?"

"That's great! You're holding an art exhibition. I want to come." Lin Xiao spoke first.

"Yeah, I'll come."

On the other side, after receiving Mo Yu's location, Ni Jiamu started to run wild, turning the steering wheel with his fingers, biting his lower lip with his teeth, and his eyes were full of cruelty.

He even ran several red lights in a row, causing his people behind him to keep helping him clean up.

In the past, he was afraid that his love for Mo Yu would be too obvious and would scare the child, so he dared to be cautious. However, this gave other men the opportunity to get close to Mo Yu, which he would not allow.

"Xiao Yu, there's something on your mouth." Xiao Hecheng picked up a tissue and stood up to help Mo Yu wipe it.

Mo Yu's face turned red instantly. Xiao Hecheng looked at her rosy face and realized that a woman's blushing face was also a stunning beauty in the world.
