I Love My Sweet Neighbor

The night was hazy. There was a breeze.

Mu Qingtian sat on the roof of the old house, leaning against the fence and looking up. The sky was clear, full of stars, without a single cloud. He was looking at the stars aimlessly in the clear moon. Holding a bottle of wine in his hand, he took two sips from time to time.

His mind was blank and he didn't want anything.

"Qingtian." Someone approached him and whispered to him.

Mu Qingtian turned around and saw that the person who came to him was Long Yue.

"Long Yue, it's you. What are you doing here?"

I'm looking for you. I couldn't find you. So, I was thinking, you might be on the roof. I remember when you were a kid, you always liked to look at the stars when you were in a bad mood."

"Yeah, when I'm in a bad mood, I always like to see the stars."

Mu Qingtian took another sip of wine and looked up at the stars in the sky.

He said, "But when I grow up, I don't often look at the stars. Perhaps, people are getting older. You'll forget about your childhood."

"Really? Have you forgotten?" Long Yue was a little disappointed. She didn't know if the things that Mu Qingtian said that she had forgotten included her.

Mu Qingtian was unaware of this.

He was still staring at the stars in the sky. He followed his finger.

"Do you remember that constellation?"

"That... Orion. I know everyone."

"Yes, orion. It was said that he was a young hunter who liked the goddess, but her brother hated him and killed him. Love is always full of twists and turns. Some people say that such love is true love. I think it's bullshit. Who would want so much to happen? I'm so tired."

Mu Qingtian lowered his head and wanted to drink. Long Yue held his hand.

"Qingtian, stop drinking. Drinking too much hurts your body."

"It's none of your business."

Mu Qingtian shook his arm, pushed Long Yue's hand away, put the bottle to his mouth again, and gulped twice. There was no more wine in the bottle. He threw the bottle away and it jingled away.

He stared, his eyes bloodshot.

"Why? Why can't I get drunk tonight? Why? I really want to get drunk, but I just can't get drunk. Haha..."

Life is actually so ironic.

You don't want to get drunk when you're drunk. You want to get drunk and numb yourself with alcohol, but you can't get drunk. Not only was he not drunk, but he became more and more sober as he drank. The things that he did not want to think about would be presented clearly in front of him.

It's impossible not to think about it.

Mu Qingtian hugged his head and curled up in a ball.

Long Yue walked up to him and gently touched his forehead.

"Qingtian, what are you going to do?"

Mu Qingtian put his hand down and looked at Long Yue.

"What did you say? What should we do?"

"I'm asking you, what are you going to do with Yun Zhuran and that child?"

"I... I want to be with them. I want to be the father of that child. Even if that child is not mine, I will still be his father. All the fatherly love he had given him. I can even get rid of my own children."

Now, Mu Qingtian was completely showing his true feelings, and he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.

Long Yue sighed.

"Qingtian, do you think that's possible?"

Mu Qingtian was silent for a while. He thought about it and sighed, "I hope so, too. But I also know. It's hard."

Qingtian, you don't care about that child. You care about Yun Zhuran. Because it's her child, you can tolerate it no matter what." Long Yue pointed it out right away.

Mu Qingtian was silent again, this time longer than the last time.

After a long time, he sighed.

"Maybe so."

He did not deny what Long Yue said.

Long Yue stared at him and said, "Qingtian, if... I mean if, if Yun Zhuran and I were to change positions, would you be so sad for me? This is very depressing."

After that, Long Yue eagerly awaited his answer.

Mu Qingtian didn't want to give the answer.

"Stop asking. If you're not in that position, don't ask. There's no point."

With that, Mu Qingtian stood up and wanted to leave.

Long Yue grabbed his hand.

"Qingtian, tell me who is more important to you, me or her."

"Stop asking."

Mu Qingtian gently pulled his hand back.

Long Yue's face revealed a wry smile.

"Yes, what else should I ask. There's really no need to ask. Do you still have to answer?"

What Long Yue meant was that your actions just now explained everything. In your heart, Yun Zhuran will always be the most important.

Mu Qingtian wanted to leave the roof.

Long Yue stood up and called his name, "Qingtian!"

Mu Qingtian stopped, but did not turn back.

Long Yue said, "I know what you want. We grew up together. I will always be the one who understands you."

Long Yue touched the ring on his finger. Ever since the wedding, she was reluctant to take it off. Now, she was still reluctant.

"Qingtian. I, I understand you. I knew you were going to find Yun Zhuran. If you go, I will do my best to support you and help you. If Yun Zhuran wants to stay by your side, I'll leave. But if she won't stay, can I stay by your side?"

Mu Qingtian turned around and was about to speak.

Long Yue immediately lowered his head and said, "Qingtian, don't say anything. There was no need to say anything. I know. My words were a little self-deprecating. But I just like you. Ever since I was a kid, I've always liked you. For you. I can sacrifice everything, whether it's my career or my pride. Perhaps, you will look down on me. It's okay, it's okay."

She lowered her head, not daring to look at mu Qingtian.

Mu Qingtian walked up to her.

"Long Yue. Don't do this. I'm not worth it. You..."

"Nothing is worth it." Long Yue raised her head, slightly raised her head, and stared at Mu Qingtian's face. "I volunteered. I'm willing to do this. Really. I do."

It was as if she was trying to persuade herself.

Mu Qingtian sighed and said nothing.

He took off his coat and put it on Long Yue.

"It's late at night. It's windy. You don't wear much. Don't catch a cold."

With that, Mu Qingtian turned and left.

Long yue looked at Mu Qingtian's back until it disappeared.

The night was really late, and the wind was really cold.

She pulled down the coat and took a deep breath.

This is Mu Qingtian's coat, and he still smells like him.

"Qingtian, do you really want Yun Zhuran?"

Long Yue thought jealously.

She circled the roof of the building, and in a corner not far away was an astronomical telescope that they used to look at the stars together.

The past is really only memorable.

Mu Qingtian went downstairs and was about to go back to his room to sleep. He planned to leave in a few days. After all, you can't always stay at the old house. A few days ago, Mu Qiaoyang and Yan Waner had moved out. Yesterday, Mu Ruoliu also moved out. Now that he's the only one left, it's better to move out alone.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Mu Guohua's voice.

"Qingtian, wait a minute. I have something to tell you."
