Chapter 34 "Neuropathy"

"No." Mu Qing put down the phone, looked at Yu Yifeng and said, "My sexual orientation is not female, and I don't intend to cheat a marriage, so naturally I won't go on a blind date."

He answered so bluntly, but Yu Yifeng couldn't believe it: "Really?"

"This is a matter of principle. I don't need to lie to you about this." Seeing that Yu Yifeng still had hesitation on his face, Mu Qing suddenly smiled, "Or——you want me to answer you more? Are you very interested in this girl and want to meet her?"

"Forget it then." Yu Yifeng said decisively, "I have no interest in self-torture."

Although the weather forecast said that the rain would decrease in the afternoon, in fact, it was not until five or six o'clock, when the sky began to darken, that there was a faint sign of the rain stopping.

Yu Yifeng looked at Mu Qing's side face, and really wanted to stay for another night, but he couldn't think of a suitable excuse, so he dragged on to finish dinner after seven o'clock, and left reluctantly.

Mu Qing sent him to the elevator, and when he returned to the living room and turned on the phone again to open the chat interface, there were already a few more messages in his mother's chat box:

Mom: Haven't you finished class yet?

Mom: An ordinary school job keeps you so busy, and you don’t have much income, so you might as well go home and work.

Mom: I've made an appointment for you. Don't be late at five o'clock next Saturday night.

Mom: [location sharing] this hotel

New messages kept popping up, Mu Qing looked at the girls' messages in the chat box, and frowned, replying one by one.

Mu Qing: Today is Sunday, and I don't have class.

Mu Qing: My financial resources are enough for my daily life, so you don't have to worry.

Mu Qing: I won't go on a blind date, I don't like it...

Before he could finish typing, a phone call popped up suddenly.

Mu Qing looked at the notification of the incoming call and was silent for a moment, then answered it resignedly: "Good evening."

Tao Shuang on the other end of the phone heard his calm greeting, and immediately there was a trace of displeasure in her tone: "When you talk to others on the phone, do you greet others without saying hello?"

Mu Qing didn't want to argue with her on trivial matters, so he added a salutation: "Mom, good evening."

Tao Shuang snorted, but when she spoke again, her voice was still cold: "The meeting time is set at [-]:[-] p.m. on Saturday. I have already sent you the detailed address. Have you seen it?"

"I see, but—"

Tao Shuang didn't wait for Mu Qing to finish, and directly interrupted him: "That's good. It's not polite to keep an elegant lady waiting. If you feel good after meeting, remember to leave a contact information for each other. ,convenient......."

"Mom, I—"

"Don't interrupt me!" Tao Shuang reprimanded softly, "Can't you listen to me?"

Mu Qing took a deep breath, and suppressed the irritability surging in his heart: "No, because I won't go."

Tao Shuang was silent for a moment, and when she spoke again, her tone was stiffer than before: "Why?"

"You know why, I don't like women—"

"You can cultivate if you don't like it." Tao Shuang said coldly, "You were young before, and I never interfered with who you liked to play with; but you are already 28 this year, and you can't keep playing like this forever. It's time to consider starting a family."

Mu Qing said calmly: "What if I can't train it?"

"Then find a suitable one and get married first, you will always figure it out."

Tao Shuang said as it should, but Mu Qing couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Mom, do you mean to let me cheat the marriage?"

Tao Shuang didn't speak for a while, and then slowly said after a while: "After marrying the right person, it's normal to cultivate love in marriage, and this is just a stopgap measure."

Mu Qing laughed: "Expedient measure? Ms. Tao, are you not guilty of saying this?"

"I think from the perspective of blood relationship recognized by law, you should continue to call me 'Mom'." Tao Shuang's voice remained calm just now, "I think about my family, why should I be guilty?"

Mu Qing rubbed his forehead that was starting to ache, and replied: "If your demand is that I lie to the womb of a woman I don't know, then I really can't do it; but if your demand is to get married, then I will You can find a suitable person to hold a wedding, what do you think?"

Tao Shuang sneered: "You mean that crazy? I won't agree."

Mu Qing was taken aback for a moment, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart: "Who are you talking about?"

"The Yu Yifeng who has been inseparable from you all this time, and went back with you to meet your friends and spend the night together." Tao Shuang said.

Mu Qing frowned: "He's normal, don't judge him casually."

"He is not normal." Tao Shuang said, "I have dealt with his father. His father said that he has been taking medicine for treatment, and he also asked me about domestic psychiatrists. Is it contagious?"

——He gave me a bad feeling...

Gong Shichen's first impression of Yu Yifeng suddenly appeared in Mu Qing's mind, so all the subtle sense of disobedience had an answer.

Tao Shuang couldn't hear his reply, so she urged impatiently, "Get over that psychopath as soon as possible, do you hear me?"

Mu Qing frowned subconsciously: "He's not crazy." Even though he knew that Yu Yifeng might have such a problem, even if he knew that he was hiding many things from himself, Mu Qing still didn't want to use this name to describe him.

Tao Shuang's silence this time was longer than last time, so long that Mu Qing thought she had hung up the phone, and was about to ask, but Tao Shuang's voice sounded again: "You talked so much about it with me today. So many excuses to refuse my arrangement are all because of him, right?"

"Before I told you to go on a blind date, even if you didn't want to, you would still meet. This time, you resisted so much because of him, right?"

"I am."

Tao Shuang took a deep breath, with an imperceptible tremor at the end: "Even if he is a psychopath?"

"He's not." Mu Qing said calmly, "He just has a little problem, and I will accompany him to get better."

Tao Shuang sneered: "Mu Qing, you're crazy." Her voice had returned to calm, as if the trembling in her voice just now was just an illusion of others, "Forget it, I don't care who you are interested in now. Saturday's You have to go when we meet, as long as you don't lose my face."

If she is willing to say that, it is already the last concession.If he continued to contradict her, he didn't know how many things would happen again.

Mu Qing rubbed his forehead and replied, "Yes, but I won't have any further contact with her."

Tao Shuang said: "If you want to have further contact, you have to be liked by others." After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone unceremoniously.

After a brief busy tone, Mu Qing's phone returned to calm.

He looked at the chat box with Tao Shuang, silently deleted the unsent answer, and clicked on Gong Shichen's chat box.

Mu Qing: Do you have a reliable psychiatrist to recommend?

Gong Shichen's reply came very quickly: I happen to know someone, and I'll push it to you later, but why are you looking for a psychiatrist?Have a mental disorder?

Mu Qing said: Well, almost.

Gong Shichen didn't ask in detail, and pushed a personal business card over after a while.

Mu Qing slid his finger across the psychiatrist's business card, hesitated for a moment, and chose to add it.

I don't know why, although his mother said so much just now, he still feels that Yu Yifeng's problem doesn't seem to be so serious.
