C328 Bad News
If she were to tell him about her previous life, what would Xiao Huali think? What would Ann Linyan think?
"Qingqing, do you know how to tell fate?" Ann Linyan suddenly asked.
"Destiny telling?" Xiao Huali looked at her with doubt in her eyes. How could a fortune-teller figure out another person's birthday?
"I remember my grandfather saying that some of the more formidable fortune-tellers would know when you were born with just a glance. However, they would normally not so easily say that they are fortune-tellers, as Grandfather said that would be a loss of lifespan. " Ann Linyan suddenly said.
Xiao Huali stared at Ann Linyan suspiciously and asked, "Are you speaking the truth?"
"I heard my grandfather say that there is a kind of fortune-teller in the village who can see the fate of others with a single glance. Due to the fact that it will cost one's life, a true fortune-teller rarely takes the initiative to tell others about their own fate. " Ann Linyan explained.
Mu Qingqing held her hand tightly as she stared uneasily at Xiao Huali. Of course, she was not a fortune-teller. If she did not admit it, Xiao Huali would fall into a new round of suspicion.
Xiao Huali turned to her and asked, "Qingqing, do you really know how to tell a fortune?"
The room fell into silence, and Mu Qingqing chose to keep her mouth shut.
"Little Fox, how did you get to the bottom of this? If she answered, her lifespan would be shortened." Seeing this, Ann Linyan opened her mouth to help Mu Qingqing.
"I want your answer." Xiao Huali stared fixedly at Mu Qingqing. "You can even be counted by the word 'birth' if you don't have a fortune-telling ability?"
"Is the answer more important than a clear life?" Ann Linyan held Xiao Huali's wrist and asked anxiously. Qing Qing has never done anything to hurt you. She cherishes her friendship so much. Do you really care about the answer so much? "
Mu Qingqing gave Ann Linyan a grateful look. She was absolutely right.
The dorm room fell into a new round of silence.
[She approached me but never hurt me. Am I being too excessive?]
After reading Xiao Huali's true thoughts, Mu Qingqing felt slightly gratified. The fact that she had begun to reflect on herself showed that she had calmed down.
"We're best friends. Everyone has secrets they can't tell me, just like you didn't tell me about your birthday. There are some things I can't say. Friends are together to share their happiness and their pain, but they also have the right to keep their privacy. " Mu Qingqing took advantage of the victory to pursue and reason with her.
Xiao Huali took a step forward and hugged Mu Qingqing.
She suddenly understood one thing. Everyone had their own secrets, such as her birthday. Didn't she also not tell Mu Qingqing? In that case, they would be even.
Mu Qingqing understood what she meant.
"No need to say sorry. You're my best friend, you've always been." Mu Qingqing wasn't used to being hugged by others, but she still cooperated and hugged Xiao Huali, patting her on the back. This girl had always been proud and pampered. The word 'sorry' wasn't a straightforward expression in her dictionary, but Mu Qingqing understood.
"You too." Xiao Huali spoke softly, sincerely.
Although they were a three-man team, she still felt that they were lacking in time and feelings. At this moment, she felt a true friendship, and understood why she was lacking in friendship with Mu Qingqing and the others. She had not completely blended into their friendship, and Mu Qingqing and Xiao Huali did not understand her.
"Then I'll take this cake back with me. Little Brother Xiaoyun really likes it." Mu Qingqing took the initiative to speak.
Xiao Huali shook her head. "Stay here. I'm sixteen this year. I'll never forget that you climbed over the wall to give me my birthday."
"Do you want a candle?" Ann Linyan asked in a low voice.
"I'm not ordering anymore. Please accompany me to eat cake." Xiao Huali's face became wet. She didn't reach out to wipe the tears off her face, but pretended that they couldn't see, allowing the tears to flow freely on her face.
Respecting Xiao Huali's opinion, they took advantage of the moonlight to unwrap the cake. The cream was very white in the moonlight, and Xiao Huali stared at the cake in front of her, holding a plastic triangle knife in one hand.
"Make a wish and cut it again." Ann Linyan suggested.
Xiao Huali closed her eyes and made a silent wish in her heart. However, a Happy Birthday song rang in the bedroom, afraid that it would attract the attention of the aunty in charge of the dormitory. Ann Linyan and Mu Qingqing were both singing very quietly.
It was good to have these two friends. Xiao Huali opened her eyes and cut the cake into pieces, one for each person.
Mu Qingqing still had wounds on her hands. She pretended to be holding a cake plate, but didn't take a bite.
"It's getting late, I have to go home." Mu Qingqing observed the situation below. Mo Xiaoyun was squatting alone in a corner, so he had to wait for quite a while.
"Then we'll come to your house tomorrow to look for you." Xiao Huali took the initiative to speak.
"Alright." "Yes," Mu Qingqing agreed straightforwardly. I'll bring some cake back to my brother. "
Ann Linyan immediately put down the cake in her hand, took out the original box to wrap Mu Qingqing's cake, let her take it back.
Holding the small piece of cake that was wrapped in a box, Mu Qingqing still went back the way she came, flipping out of the window of the ladies' room.
"Here, eat the cake." Mu Qingqing passed a small piece of cake to Mo Xiaoyun. Her hands were in unbearable pain.
Mo Xiaoyun pouted, then pointed at the already built ladder on the wall. Master, let's go home. "
Mu Qingqing turned around and saw that the bridge she built out of wood had been turned into a wooden escalator by Mo Xiaoyun. She looked at him in surprise.
"You made it?" Mu Qingqing recalled that when they first came in, they couldn't open the chain, so how did it turn into a wooden escalator?
"No, I moved it from the warehouse." Mo Xiaoyun looked at her with cold sweat, thinking that she was going to scold him.
"Let's go home after the cake." Mu Qingqing touched his little head, not even bothering to scold him.
Mo Xiaoyun shook his head, "I'm not hungry. Master, please go home. Your hand is injured."
Thus, the two of them successfully climbed up the ladder and climbed over the wall, leaving the school.
Mu Qingqing turned her head to look at the teaching building under the moonlight.
"I really hope this kind of life can be a little slower. I really like this kind of campus life." After muttering to herself, she pulled Mo Xiaoyun home.
Time flew. She didn't even have time to be happy about the matter of Xiao Huali and her returning back to the old days before another bad news came.
"Qing Qing, your grandfather has passed away. Pack your things, I'll come and get you tonight." Mu Anren said.
"Grandfather?" Mu Qingqing asked in shock.
"You were born old and you died sick. Follow the laws of nature. I've already applied for leave from the school." Mu Anren told her as if he was narrating business.
Mu Qingqing didn't know how she hung up the phone. She felt as if someone had splashed water on her head and her feet. How could she have forgotten her grandfather? She still wanted to go to her grandfather's house to investigate something, but why did she die now?
"Qingqing, what happened to you?" Aunt Qiong couldn't help but ask worriedly when she saw her face turn white.
"Aunt Qiong, my grandfather left …" Mu Qingqing said word by word.
"Don't be too sad. This world is like this to begin with. No one can stay with anyone for their entire life." Aunt Qiong said with a pained heart as she caressed her shoulder-length hair.
"I just thought it was too sudden." Mu Qingqing's heart was in a state of panic.
Aunt Qiong thought to herself. Mu Qingqing had never seen her grandfather a few times since she was young, so it was only a few days' time since she felt sad.
Mu Qingqing, on the other hand, sat on the sofa in the living room after packing her things. Although she hadn't interacted much with her grandfather in her previous life, that didn't mean she didn't have any feelings for him at all.
"Qing Qing, have something to eat. Aunt Qiong has cooked a bowl of noodles for you." When the steaming noodles were placed in front of her, she tilted her head.
"I'm not hungry." "Mu Qingqing had no desire to eat." Last time with the Party for Number One Scholar, Grandfather and the others didn't come either, did they? "
Aunt Qiong looked at her with embarrassment. "Little girl, don't think about it. That is a matter between adults. "0
"I guess it's because Dad and the others didn't notify us?" Mu Qingqing said bluntly.
"It's all in the past now. Don't bother about such things." Aunt Qiong knew why, but it was impossible for her to tell Mu Qingqing who was still studying.
"Aunt Qiong, do you know something?" Mu Qingqing turned her head to look at Aunt Qiong.
"I'm working for your family, what do you know?" Aunt Qiong shook her head and turned around to walk towards the bathroom.
Mu Qingqing gazed at her back, her heart filled with infinite desolation. She was still thinking of going to her grandfather's house to look for evidence. Why was it that before she could go, some people had already begun to leave her?
After getting into Mu Anren's car, Su Cuiyun also sat in it. Mu Qingqing didn't even have the desire to open her mouth to talk to them. The driver had invited them to drive, so the three of them stayed silent all the way.
Grandfather's home was in the village of Yuan He, in Z Province. That village was famous for being poor in the province, and it was a place where even thieves had to take a detour. There was not a single road in the village that was intact, full of holes and mud. Not mentioning how the car jolted along the way, it was easy to get stuck halfway. Mu Anren knew the situation of the village. He had asked his friend to borrow a off-road car, which saved him the trouble of getting stuck on the road.
The bumpy ride was dizzying. Mu Qingqing leaned against the back of the sofa with her eyes closed. She seemed to be resting, but in reality, she was watching Mu Anren and Su Cuiyun's thoughts.
Su Cuiyun's mind was blank the whole way. She didn't even have the slightest thought, and her sadness couldn't be seen on her face. Seeing her thoughts, Mu Qingqing doubted her ability. Could it be that she had failed to put her money on the line?
However, Mu Anren's thought told her that her ability really did exist.
Mu Anren's thoughts were not complicated. Basically, they were all thinking about work. Which part of the factory where the furniture was made too slowly and the most vulnerable to problems was the one he had to consider. He was a real workaholic.
But Mu Qingqing wanted to see what they thought of the news of her grandfather's death, Su Dashan, but she couldn't see it.
