Chapter 1414 Bai Wei and Pete
She shook hands with the other party, and Pete smiled shyly and reservedly: "Lihao!"
Bai Wei translated for him, "Pete said hello."
Pete said again: "Wo has seen Li News, Hei Li hi!"
Mu Zi was still in a daze, Bai Wei smiled and translated again: "He said he saw your news and praised you for being great."
Mu Zi couldn't help laughing, she pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment."
Then Bai Wei took Pete to the banquet hall, and the two talked and laughed.
Mu Zi felt that her mother had changed, she became more talkative and lively.
She told Murong Cheng earlier that her mother became younger after meeting Pete, but it was not the case.
When you get old, what is aging is not only the appearance of the face, but also an aura that is difficult to describe in words. For example, some people look young, but they feel dull and lack of vitality.
Bai Wei is like a pool of water in the backyard of an ancient temple, quiet and distant, warm and beautiful, but she is not young.
Now the water in this pond has finally started to ripple, how should I put it... with a bit of playfulness of a little girl.
Mu Zi remembered that Jiang Ci always complained about her, saying that when she was a prosecutor, she was very serious, serious and arrogant, how come after meeting Murong Cheng, she was like a broken person, like a little foolish girl?
Because I like him.
In front of the person you like, there is no way to put on airs. The most ferocious lion in the jungle, when it meets the owner who raised it when it was young, can't help but run over and act like a baby.
...
After the birthday party, Pete stayed and had dinner with Bai Wei, Murong Cheng, Mu Zi, and the three babies.
It's a small family dinner.
The atmosphere was not bad, probably because of the language barrier, Pete didn't talk much. This is better, otherwise Murong Cheng will definitely think the other party is too glib.
After eating, Bai Wei took Pete to see the plants and flowers she cultivated.
Mu Zi and Murong Cheng leaned against the window, looking at a man and a woman in the distance.
"The people Mom likes seem to be this type." Mu Zi looked at them and murmured.
At first, it seemed familiar, but after a closer look, I found that Pete's facial features were actually somewhat similar to Master Mu's, especially the eyes and nose.
A few years ago, Mu Zichuan who tricked Bai Wei away was also very similar to Master Mu. If there was no age gap, they would be like twin brothers.
Murong Cheng gave a faint "hmm", with a rare and leisurely expression.
His childhood was distorted, and he dreamed of pursuing a quiet and warm family life. Now that he has a wife, a child, and his mother has found a home, Murong Cheng has obtained everything he wanted.
As for who Pete looks like, he doesn't mind, as long as it's not that person.
...
The relationship between Bai Wei and Pete gradually warmed up.
In the bookstore run by Pete, there is a separate room dedicated to the fermentation of jam.
The two often meet here to make various jams.
The air is filled with a sweet and sour smell, like the smell of love, filling every pore, controlling breathing and heartbeat.
Pete is always clumsy.
He overturned the bowl, and the stirred fruit puree fell on the ground. Bai Wei accidentally stepped on it, slipped and fell into Pete's arms, and then there was a splash——
The cups, dishes and plates were all broken, and Bai Wei and Pete also fell heavily on the ground.
Bai Wei hastily raised her upper body with her hands on her hands, looking nervously and apologetically at Pete, who was being treated as a human body cushion below, "Are you all right? Did you hurt from the fall?"
Pete shook his head slightly, but didn't get up immediately.
This angle of view is very subtle. Looking up, the light glows from behind her with a light halo, a bit dazzling, a bit dreamy, just like when he was sleeping on a sloped grass slope when he was young, she leaned over and said to him: "Mu Zichuan , Wake up, it's time to go back."
His eyes were warm, he squinted and said softly, "Bai Wei, let's get married."
Bai Wei didn't react: "Huh?"
He raised his hand and gently stroked the fine lines at the corners of her eyes.
She is old, and he is also old, but in his eyes, she is still that little girl in a white dress who knows nothing about the world...
