163 Mu Mu, the Singer
Jiang Yongguang was a very patient man. He wasn't in a hurry, but asked step by step, starting from when Mu Mu and Ge Xueying met.
"How did you and Ge Xueying meet? And how did you two develop into a couple?"
Mu Mu sat on the sofa, slowly recalling, "When I first came to Chengdu, I wasn't very famous, and no bars wanted me. So I was in Kuanzhai Alley, busking on the street. Sometimes I would sing in front of Ge Xueying's shop. When it was cold, she probably took pity on me and occasionally gave me a cup of hot water. That's how we got to know each other."
"Then how did you become a couple?" Jiang Yongguang asked again.
Mu Mu smiled and said, "She's pretty, and I'm not bad looking either. We were both single, so naturally we became a couple. It's that simple."
Jiang Yongguang nodded and continued, "How long did you date?"
"About a year and a half, I guess," Mu Mu said, counting on his fingers. "To be exact, it should be a year and seven months."
"That's quite a long time," Jiang Yongguang said.
"Yeah, it was long enough," Mu Mu smiled.
"Why did you break up later? When exactly did you break up?" After going around in circles, they finally came back to this topic.
As soon as he mentioned this, I saw Mu Mu's expression turn a little ugly, as if he felt embarrassed.
He subconsciously grabbed a pack of cigarettes from the coffee table, wanting to smoke. Jiang Yongguang quickly offered him a light and also took out a cigarette for himself.
"Don't rush, take your time," Jiang Yongguang said, taking a puff.
Mu Mu also took a hard puff of his cigarette, making the already cramped room filled with smoke.
He was silent for a while before saying, "I don't know how to tell you this. Xueying, that girl, is like her name, cold and icy, like a piece of ice that you can't warm up."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yongguang raised his eyebrows and asked.
Mu Mu lowered his head and said, "I've been dating her for a year and a half. Normally, people at this stage should be talking about marriage, but our progress was very slow. I haven't even met her parents."
Jiang Yongguang speculated, "Does Ge Xueying not want to get married and start a family? Many young people have this idea now, thinking that marriage is a burden and they want to date for life without getting married."
Mu Mu shook his head and said, "I don't know. Every time I talked to her about this topic, she wouldn't respond and always avoided it. And...and..."
Jiang Yongguang couldn't help but ask, "And what?"
Mu Mu took another puff of cigarette, twisting and turning, a little embarrassed, and said, "And we've been dating for so long, we haven't even...haven't even slept together."
Hearing this, Xiao Liang and I both blushed a little. Uncle Mei was also very embarrassed and quickly took out a cigarette to smoke.
Jiang Yongguang pretended to be calm, coughed, and said, "Really? Everyone is an adult. Ge Xueying is already in her thirties. It's not like you're a young couple dating in school. Are you guys...are you playing it so pure?"
Mu Mu sighed helplessly and said, "I also feel wronged. Everyone is an adult, shouldn't we do some things that lovers do? I wanted to take things further several times, but she refused me very clearly."
Speaking of this, Mu Mu couldn't help but take a big puff of cigarette.
Xiao Liang and I looked at each other, not daring to interrupt.
Looking back, Xiao Mei and I progressed much faster than Mu Mu and Ge Xueying. We did things in a month that they hadn't done in a year and a half.
Then Mu Mu continued, "Later, I couldn't bear it anymore. One time I went to her place to find her, and she happened to be taking a shower in the bathroom. So I took off my clothes and went in, wanting to shower with her. Isn't that normal between lovers? Right? But as soon as I pushed the door open, she suddenly got very angry and pinned me to the ground, and she used a lot of force..."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
The White-Clothed Immortal Woman (Baiyi Xian Gu) is a martial artist!
The kind who can kill someone with a flick of a flying knife!
Dealing with an ordinary resident singer wouldn't be a problem, right?
Mu Mu should be glad that he wasn't accidentally injured by Ge Xueying.
Speaking of this, Mu Mu also felt ashamed. He lowered his head and said, "I didn't expect Xueying to use so much force, and she was very strong. She pinned me down right away, and I couldn't even resist. I was scared and angry at the time. I asked her what she wanted to do? Was she going to kill me? Xueying was also very angry and asked me why I came in without her permission. I said, what's wrong with taking a shower together between lovers? Isn't it romantic?"
Jiang Yongguang squinted and asked, "Could it be that Ge Xueying has some physical defect, such as a very ugly birthmark or a long scar, that she doesn't want you to see? That's why she hasn't been honest with you for so long?"
Uncle Mei jokingly said very unkindly, "This Ge Xueying, could she be a man? She doesn't let you see her take a shower, and she's so strong. Mu Mu, are you sure she's a woman?"
Mu Mu glared at him angrily and shouted, "You're talking nonsense! Of course she's a woman! I've been dating her for a year and a half, can't I tell if she's a man or a woman?"
After shouting, he took another puff of cigarette and finally said helplessly, "Forget it, we've already broken up anyway, so there's no point in thinking about it anymore. But I think Officer Jiang is right, maybe Xueying has some defect on her body, so she doesn't want me to see her body."
Jiang Yongguang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too sad. It can only be said that you and Ge Xueying didn't have a good match. You're so talented and young, you'll always find new love."
Mu Mu smiled and said, "I just want to make music now, I don't want anything else."
Jiang Yongguang said, "Then I wish you success in your music career."
Later, after a few years, Mu Mu did have some fame in the local area. After a few more years, in 2013, he also participated in a talent show that was very popular at the time, So-and-so Voice, and received the turning of three mentors (of course, he didn't use the name Mu Mu).
Although he was eliminated in the end, it is said that he is doing quite well now. Just by taking on gigs, he can earn hundreds of thousands a year, so he can be considered successful.
At the end of the conversation, Jiang Yongguang asked him, "Do you know where else we can find Ge Xueying? She has also terminated the lease of her shop in Kuanzhai Alley, and she has disappeared."
Mu Mu said that Ge Xueying's hometown seemed to be in the mountains south of Chengdu. He had been there once before. It was a small mountain village with some history, and Ge Xueying had an ancestral house in that village.
Jiang Yongguang recorded the detailed address of Ge's ancestral house, and then took us to say goodbye. It was already late, and we were embarrassed to continue to disturb Mu Mu.
