Miss Mu and the Canary

Chapter 20

The name "Smiling Who" is really familiar, but it only shows a hazy figure in memory, and Mu Xing can't catch it no matter what.And she has a hunch, this is definitely a key to her discovery of surprises.If she can't find it today, I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep again.

However, she looked through all the books she had read recently, neither the Royal Journal of Philosophy, nor the Lancet, nor in "ScreanPlay".I looked through Zhang Henshui's "Laughing Marriage" thoroughly, but I couldn't find this word.

Turning the study upside down, Mu Xing fell down on the table in frustration.

"Xiangnong Nanguo, who is named Hanxiaoxiao"...No, not this paragraph...

Throwing aside the only suitable "Li Weng Conversation Rhyme", she returned to the bedroom disappointed.

It's over, I won't be able to sleep tonight.

Full of curiosity but not satisfied, Mu Xing washed up lazily, sat down on the dressing table, and was about to reach for Bai Yushuang, when she glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw a small magazine on the bedside table, which was pressed by a hat.

After a second thought, Mu Xing stretched out his hand and took the magazine over to take a look. The photo on the cover of the magazine was a dignified and beautiful woman, who was Uncle Zhou's daughter Shuheng*, and the word "Linglong" was written on it comfortably, It was the new magazine "Linglong" that Li Yining left with her a few days ago.

That's right, hasn't she also read this "Linglong"?

Not caring about wiping off the white jade cream, Mu Xing hurriedly turned to the catalog of "Linglong" and took a look. Sure enough, the words "Who are you laughing at" were right on the line of the author!

From the author’s fingertips to the past, the work is an article "My Views on Scientific Beauty"*, which describes how women should maintain health and beauty through vitamin injections, and also writes that vitamin C can whiten skin, but it must be taken at night Injected for easy absorption.

All these experiences, combined with the graceful style of writing between the lines, we can know that this "who is laughing at" must be a woman.

Mu Xing hurriedly opened the previous "Wonderful Words", and first browsed through the beginning and end of "Tonight's Cold", but found no information about the author.Turning to the end, the last column of the magazine is the editor's message, a general overview, roughly summarizing the highlights of this issue of the magazine.

There is a sentence in it: "...The article "Tonight is Cold" is also very wonderful. The words and sentences are inlaid with gold and gold, and the emotions are mellow and lingering.

Brow-sweeping talent, meaning a woman with outstanding literary talents, it can be seen that whoever laughs must be a woman!

Mu Xing browsed through the comments on other works, and there was no mention of other authors as women.From this point of view, if Miss Bai Yan really has the status of a writer, she is probably the "who is laughing at".

This conclusion couldn't help cheering up Mu Xing, and she went over it again and again: Ms. Bai claimed to be a writer; Xiao Azhen said that this magazine was a "sample booklet" received by Ms. Bai—only writers would receive sample books from magazines. ;Among the several authors, only "Who Laughing" is a woman... The answer is almost obvious, unless Miss Bai deliberately conceals her gender, otherwise there is nothing to doubt?

After sorting it out, Mu Xing became more and more happy. She picked up a fictional pen, and she wanted to write "QED" on the back of the thesis in her mind-the argument was completed.

But wait.

She hesitated again.

What if Miss Bai was a fictional writer from the beginning?

That reasoning was completely wrong, and she didn't know how to get close to Miss Bai any more than Young Master Cui and Mr. Li.At least they might still be able to tell whether Miss Bai was telling the truth or a lie, or maybe there was no need for Miss Bai to hide them from them.

She needs to guess like this, but because she is not familiar with Miss Bai at all.

The sense of frustration that came out of nowhere made Mu Xing a little discouraged.

In fact, whether Miss Bai is a writer or not is not the point.She made such a fuss because she just wanted to know Miss Bai better.

Ms. Bai is a very interesting person - not referring to her personality, just the few times she and Ms. Bai have met briefly, they are not yet familiar enough to talk about their personality.

But she is willing to get acquainted with Miss Bai.She really wanted to know about things that she had never been in contact with, the world of luxury and money, singing and dancing, and Miss Bai's past and present lives.

All this filled her with interest, and she couldn't help wanting to get to know her better.

Frowning to tidy up the books, Mu Xing sat back in front of the dressing table, scooped up a little white jade cream and applied it slowly.Looking at his clean face in the glass mirror, Mu Xing suddenly raised his hand to brush up all his hair.

Without the cover of the ear-length short hair, the femininity of a woman disappeared immediately, and then the eyebrows were furrowed, the eyes narrowed slightly, and the face in the mirror was a bit handsome for a while.

Mu Xing suddenly made up his mind.

If the mountain does not come, I will go to the mountain.Instead of guessing alone, it's better to directly contact and understand.

Before that, she was just waiting, wanting to get in touch with Miss Bai at the invitation of Mr. Tang Yu.But if you can only get to know Miss Bai better if you have a good relationship with Miss Bai like Mr. Cui, then she doesn't mind learning from those young masters and spending real money to invite Miss Bai in the hall. out.

With a clear goal, Mu Xing suddenly cheered up again.Glancing at the clock, she quickly went to bed and put on the quilt—the first step for Miss Bai to get out of the game is to earn enough real money first!

Prompted by the excitement, Mu Xing hurriedly got up on the second day, put on a neat shirt and suspenders, and used pomade to smooth his hair.

After dressing up, she got into the car before her mother got up, urging to go to the hospital.The startled housekeepers and maids thought she had fallen into something evil, they hurriedly made breakfast and sent it to the car to get ready, and hurriedly sent the young lady to the hospital.

However, Mu Xing worked happily in the clinic for the whole morning, and when Xiao Zhen came to take X-rays in the afternoon, it was Xiao Zhen's sister who accompanied her. Mu Xing's eyes were going to the east gate. Miss Bai was nowhere to be seen.

She could only pretend to be stupid and asked, "Did the family member who signed the inspection form not come?"

Little Azhen's sister hurriedly said: "Sister Bai can't come because of something. I'm little Azhen's biological sister, so it's the same."

There's something... Yes, Miss Bai also has a job, so she can't just leave a group of guests and come to accompany Xiao Zhen for the examination.

Suppressing the disappointment in his heart, Mu Xing took little Azhen to do all the inspections step by step, and told him when to come to get the results, so little Azhen's sister took little Azhen away with gratitude.

It's been so busy for three to five days, during which little Ah Zhen also came twice, once to see the results, and once to prepare for hospitalization, Miss Bai never came again.Mu Xing was also busy running around all the time, he didn't have time to go out to have fun at the invitation of those young masters, and he didn't have time to go to Changsantang to find Miss Bai.

Until that night, Mu Xing suddenly received a call from Li Yining.

"Ah Xuan, why have you been missing lately?" Li Yining complained a few words, and Mu Xing naturally said that he was busy with the medical clinic.

"What's so busy about it? You don't care about serious matters, but you don't know what you're busy with." Li Yining pointed out.

Li Yining repeatedly urged Mu Xing to divorce Song Youcheng as soon as possible, but Mu Xing only thought that she cared about him and didn't think too much about it. He just prevaricated: "I know, don't worry about it for a while."

Li Yining said: "That's all for these trivial matters. I have a graduation prom in a few days. Will you go with me?"

"Graduation party?" Mu Xing was stunned for a moment before realizing that Li Yining was studying at Allen Girls' School. intercommunication.

"You have to bring a male partner to the dance, right? What's the point of asking me to go?" Mu Xing teased, "So many young masters are waiting for you to graduate, why don't you take advantage of this time to find a good husband?"

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone. Mu Xing was wondering if he had hung up the line. Then Li Yining said again: "Those boys are all in a daze. What's the point? You come here in men's clothing, and we dance together. Isn't it more interesting than dealing with those boys?" ?”

"Wearing men's clothes?" Mu Xing was taken aback, and was about to say that Li Yining didn't like her wearing men's clothes the least, but he was afraid of offending the eldest lady, so he said, "Okay, I will never refuse your invitation."

Li Yining then laughed, explained the time and place, and pestered him with many gossips before hanging up the phone.

On the day of the dance, Mu Xing dressed up early in the morning and went to Li Yining's house by car. After Li Yining changed one dress after another and finally chose it, it was almost time.

The dance party was held on the garden balcony of Pingjin Hotel. When Mu Xing and Li Yining arrived, many people were already dancing on the dance floor.

Most of the decorations on the garden balconies are similar, and the stage of Pingjin Hotel is no exception.A group of foreign bands were playing music on stage, decorated with pink and purple seasonal flowers on the side, and various colored lights and ribbons were connected above the head. It looked lively and grand, very Western style.

Mu Xing was tired of seeing these things, so he just accompanied Li Yining to socialize among the crowd and gossip.Naturally, her identity was still the third son of the Mu family. For some reason, Li Yining also acquiesced in her "male" identity.

"Hey, look, look, what school is that boy from?"

A small exclamation sounded from a corner.

"How handsome! It's a new face, never seen before."

"I just heard that he is the third son of the Mu family?"

"It must be. Is he Li Yining's male companion? It's too pitiful."

"Heh, who dares to ask Miss Li to dance? It's probably because Li Yining was afraid of losing face, so he threatened and lured her to come here."

Then there was a burst of quarreling,

Amidst the crowds, a girl caught a glimpse of Li Yining approaching, so she hurried over to exchange a few words.After saying hello to Li Yining, she turned her eyes to Mu Xing: "Who is this?"

Mu Xing smiled: "My name is Mu Xing. It's the first time we meet. Please take care of me." The smile on the originally indifferent face was like a spring breeze blowing past Mount Fuji and blowing straight to the face, making it irresistible.

The girl couldn't help but stare blankly, unable to react in time, and almost ran straight into the arms of the person walking across, but fortunately, the sudden force on her arm made her slam on the brakes and stop.

"Be careful."

The strength on the arm was loosened, and Mr. Mu's voice sounded above his head. It was cool, like a cold melon frozen in a well in summer, and the frozen girl blushed.

But in the next second, she met Li Yining's icy gaze, and she was so frightened that the red tide subsided immediately, and she ran away like a little rabbit.

"Huh? How did you leave?" Mu Xing looked at the girl who ran away inexplicably.

"Who knows." Li Yining snorted coldly, and talked to a classmate who passed beside him.

Mu Xing was by her side, looking at the venue boredly, when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind: "Master Mu?"

With just one sentence, Mu Xing recognized that it was Miss Bai Yan's voice.

Why is she here?

Overjoyed, Mu Xing hurriedly turned around and met Bai Yan's eyes.

Bai Yan was standing a few steps behind Mu Xing. She was wearing a lotus root pink dance skirt with a string of accordion pleats on the skirt, making beautiful waves with the breeze.There were countless flowers adorning the venue, but Mu Xing felt that none of the flowers could match the demeanor of the person in front of him.

She couldn't help showing her first sincere smile today: "Miss Bai, what a coincidence."
