Chapter 123 (1/2)

”They're all drinking. I don't drink much.” The voice of the shepherd's name was as calm as ever with a bit of lightness.

Looking at the traffic jam ahead, Lu Yao slowed down and asked casually, ”are you a local?”

When she asked, she remembered that she didn't know anything about him.

Mu Ming's eyes, which were almost hidden in the dark, flashed a trace of light. He turned his eyes and looked at her. He said calmly, ”no, my family is in Lincheng. It's not far from here. After graduation, I'll come here directly to look for a job.”

”Oh, my parents are over there, too?”

The car suddenly fell into silence.

Lu Yao is stunned and subconsciously looks at him. But in the night, the light in the car is very dark, and he can't see his expression clearly. ”What's the matter?”

”I have no father, only one mother.” He suddenly looked at her with a smile.

Lu Yao's heart suddenly trembled with that smile. Inexplicably, she felt cold on her back and shaking her hands. The steering wheel almost deviated.

When she calmed down, she apologized in a hurry, ”yes, I'm sorry, I don't know...”

Mu Ming didn't seem to notice her abnormality. She turned her eyes to the front and said in a flat tone: ”it's OK. I'm a single parent family. I haven't had a father since I was a child. I'm used to it.”

Lu Yao didn't expect that his usual sunny and lively temperament grew up in this environment, but it didn't seem surprising that everyone had their own way of life, and even she had many unknown secrets.

She has not been able to comfort people, can only shallow smile, ”you are so big, and so hard, in the future will be better, you still have a mother.”

As soon as she lost her voice, a cool, low voice came out in the dark, ”my mother is not here.”

“……”

”Ah

Lu Yao is startled. One of her hands is out of control. The car suddenly bumps straight to the side of the fence. Fortunately, she responds in time and quickly holds the steering wheel to make a turn. The front of the car quickly turns a corner and does not hit it. She is so scared that she steps on the brake.

Because of the inertia, she rushed forward and stopped. However, after a few seconds of change, her face had turned pale and she was short of breath. Suddenly, she looked at Mu Ming with a sharp side face, ”sorry, I didn't control the direction well. Are you ok?”

Mu Ming's face seemed to have no fluctuation. He looked at her quietly for a few seconds and chuckled, ”I'm fine. I'm sorry. I scared you just now.”

Lu Yao is still panting, five fingers clenching the steering wheel. Her palms are wet with sweat. She feels uncomfortable. She can't tell what it is. But she is really scared. She can't tell whether it is because of his voice or what he said.

”Sister Yao, why don't I drive it?” Mu Ming looked at her and said.

”No, no, you drink.” Lu Yao has not yet recovered from her trance. She shakes her head, reverses, returns to the track and continues to drive forward.

Only this time, she divided into careful, a pair of eyes do not turn to look at the front, no longer dare to shift attention.

”Actually, my mother just died half a year ago.” The name of the herdsman murmured in a low voice, continuing the topic just now.

Lu Yao was stunned. She felt flustered and frightened again. She didn't know if she had not stepped out of control of the car just now, but she couldn't interrupt him. Maybe he just drank too much and wanted to tell her something.
