Stay Safe - Chapter 36

Xiao Jin sat in front of the computer, and after confirming that there were no other plans about the wooden pillow stream on the computer, he read the short words for a long time.

Now she can’t understand herself ten years from now, but she can vaguely imagine that in the past ten years, the things she has experienced should be more complicated than she guessed, otherwise she will not be able to start, and she will not even be able to make a plan. .

The pessimism vaguely revealed in this passage seems to mean that she has no intention of retrieving Muxianxi, and even if she does not get it back, is she willing?

How did you become like this?

Xiao Jin put his hands on his cheeks, lost in thought.

She ran out so frequently, and didn’t stay at home obediently, but Muxianxi actually discovered it. One day she wanted to go home to get something, so she came back from the company, and there was no sign of Xiao Jin in the living room, bedroom, and study at home. She made an excuse and sent a message to Xiao Jin: [Seeing that the weather is a little cloudy, I don’t know how it will be. It’s not going to rain, can you help me see if the study window is closed? If it’s open, close it]

Muzhenxi was sitting in the study, looking at the open window, waiting for Xiao Jin’s reply.

Xiao Jin quickly replied to her: [closed]

When the wooden pillow stream came back at night, the window of the study was closed.

Mu Zhenxi was sure that Xiao Jin was doing other things without telling her, but she didn’t ask if Xiao Jin didn’t say it. Later, there were two times when the company was busy and left work early, and Xiao Jin was not there. Came back at six and saw her sitting in the living room, explaining that she had gone to the city library to study. If she said go to the book, Muzhenxi can still ask Xiao Zhang, and she can’t help the city library.

The days are like flowing water, flowing forward unhurriedly. In August, the two-month summer vacation is coming to an end, and it is time for Xiao Jin to report to the university.

Out of the friendship of roommates, the night before, Wooden Sleeper Creek offered to say, “I’ll go with you?”

Holding the remote control in his hand, Xiao Jin adjusted the TV station aimlessly and asked, “Is it convenient for you?”

Wooden Pillow Creek said strangely, “What’s the inconvenience?”

Xiao Jin glanced at her, hesitant to say anything.

Wooden Pillow Creek replied knowingly: “Just take a half-day off.”

Xiao Jin paused for a few seconds and said, “I’m not asking this, I’m talking about the university campus. Would you like to go in?”

Mu Zhenxi was startled, and said, “Yes, why not?” She turned her head, smiled, and said, “You don’t think I didn’t go to college, so I don’t want to go to college?”

Xiao Jin pursed his lips, the default appearance.

Muzhenxi took a tangerine from the fruit bowl and peeled it. With a tsk, he said, “How can I have such a glass heart? I used to listen to it at the university.”

Xiao Jin’s eyes lit up: “When? Can you tell me?” She didn’t know this.

“We divide-“

Xiao Jin’s long eyelashes trembled.

Muzhenxi stopped in time, thought for a while, and replaced it with a normal AD year: “20…2010, Yin Xiaoli, is my friend who I brought you to meet before.”

Xiao Jin said, “Reporter Yin.”

Mu Zhenxi smiled and said: “Yes, Reporter Yin, she was not a reporter at that time. She was in college, and I was friends with her. If I got off work, she would occasionally take me to her elective courses. In a big classroom, the teachers couldn’t recognize who belonged to whom. I was initially reluctant. Yin Xiaoli said that a lot of people brought their partners to class. I said that I was not your partner. Pulling me to class hard.”

Perhaps the atmosphere at home was too good at this time, the tangerines in the mouth were too sweet, the lighting in the living room was too warm, and the wooden pillow stream rarely opened the conversation.

Xiao Jin let out a light breath and listened patiently, not daring to disturb her.

Mu Zhenxi continued: “The class I took at that time seemed to be called something spread. I can’t remember the full name. It was very long. The teacher was chatting a lot, and the people below were whispering. Half of the movie will be played in multimedia.”

Xiao Jin interjected at the right time and asked, “What movies are there?”

Muzhenxi said: “The World of Truman, Twelve Angry Men, Rashomon, and The Seven Deadly Sins are all of this kind, and they are quite old.”

Xiao Jin said, “You have a good memory.”

Muzhenxi said: “It’s okay, I watched few movies at that time, so I remembered it.”

Xiao Jin remembered some past events.

She had seen these movies before and liked them very much.

Her parents have been committed to cultivating her into an excellent heir from childhood to adulthood. Astronomy, geography, physical chemistry, and music have all been taught to her. Xiao Jin is talented and intelligent, and she has learned all of them, and she has learned them well, a typical “other’s family” children”. After being within the rules and regulations for a long time, Xiao Jin gradually became the way his parents wanted. But later there were differences. Her family was in business, and her parents wanted her to study business abroad and inherit the family business after returning to China. However, Xiao Jin had no interest in doing business at all, but was interested in literature, which her parents called “unpromising”. When applying for a foreign university, she had a conflict with her parents. Her parents strongly disagreed. They would rather her come back for a year than let her go to the literature department of a famous school that has been declared and guaranteed.

“What’s the use of you studying those things?” Father Xiao was almost mad when she found out that she enrolled in the liberal arts college. Father Xiao, who was always gentle and elegant, called her to the study and asked her sternly.

“Why do you always use ‘useful’ and ‘useless’ to measure the same thing?” Xiao Jin clenched his fists and looked up at his father neither humble nor arrogant.

“It’s not that I said it’s useless, it’s useless in society. I know you like these things, but it can be regarded as a hobby. You usually read books and watch movies. I didn’t say anything about you, I still I encourage you and find you an orphan everywhere. But if you regard it as a legitimate occupation for the rest of your life, I will definitely disagree!” Father Xiao loved her when she was young, and didn’t say anything harsh to her, seeing her fists clenched tightly. , his eyes turned red, he slowed down his tone, and persuaded pleasantly, “Dad is for your own good, you study literature, no matter how good you are, you will either be a teacher in the future, or you will stay up all night in front of the computer and write about those few people. A paper that you can understand, why should you waste such good grades on it?”

Xiao’s father knew it with affection, and moved with reason: “Look at your mother and I have been fighting for half our lives, and we have finally saved a huge family fortune to give you a good life. In the future, when we are old, the company will have to be handed over to you. , if you don’t take over, who are we going to look for, do you have the heart to watch my and your mother’s efforts go to waste?”

Xiao Jin remained silent.

Father Xiao thought that her attitude had loosened up, and continued to say: “You are a good child, you will be obedient, right?”

Xiao Jin’s throat choked, looked up at him, and said, “I’m sorry, Dad.”

Father Xiao was furious and extremely disappointed: “How did you become like this now?!”

When Mother Xiao heard the sound of the study, she pushed the door and came in. The two took turns to persuade her, but Xiao Jin was unmoved and determined to stick to her heart. The atmosphere at home was icy cold and shrouded in overcast clouds.

Every day, Xiao Jin could see her parents’ eyes of disappointment and implied reproach, which made her almost breathless, but Xiao’s parents and Xiao’s mother did not intend to give up and respect her decision.

The parents felt that she had changed, someone must have broken her, and then they asked the nanny and driver at home, and they suspected that it was on the head of Muxianxi.

Xiao Jin almost went crazy.

She was still a child after all, how could she hide that the city government was not enough in front of her parents. After applying for the school, a bigger storm swept up at home.

Father Xiao was furious and planned to talk to Muzhenxi, but Muzhenxi was running around in the hospital for his grandmother’s illness, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse. If Xiao’s father went again, it would be the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Xiao Jin knelt on the ground, hugged her father’s leg and begged bitterly, so that Xiao’s father temporarily dismissed the idea.

…

“Xiao Jin?”

“Xiao Jin.”

“Xiao Jin?”

A waving hand appeared in Xiao Jin’s sight, with slender fingers and fair skin, it belonged to a woman’s hand.

Xiao Jin grabbed the hand with great force.

Mu Zhenxi was startled, and wanted to break free, but looking at her red eyes, she temporarily let her hold it, and probed her forehead with one hand, and asked with concern, “What’s the matter with you?”

The picture in front of Xiao Jin’s eyes gradually became clearer, and Mu Zhenxi’s worried face was just a stone’s throw away from her, and she could touch it as soon as she stretched out her hand.

But she can’t.

Xiao Jin restrained his hand back and said in a hoarse voice, “It’s a bit of a headache.”

“Again?” Wooden Pillow Creek said, “I’ll get you painkillers.”

Xiao Jin curled up his knees, hugged himself, and nodded in despair: “Yes.”

Muzhenxi walked to the door of the study, and looked back thoughtfully. Seeing that she didn’t look like she had a headache? Did you remember something?

Xiao Jin just made an excuse, but she really had a headache. This time, the pain was more turbulent than every time before, accompanied by fragmented memories, which rushed into her mind without any rules.

She rolled on the bed in pain, and the painkillers didn’t help. Muzhenxi was helpless, so she could only watch her struggling with red eyes, and finally fell asleep.

Xiao Jin broke out in a cold sweat, and his whole body was as wet as when he was fished out of water. Muzhenxi knew that her body was weak, so she would definitely have a fever and a cold tomorrow when she slept like this all night. After struggling for a while, she took off Xiao Jin’s clothes, wiped her body without any distractions, and then used the hair dryer to change her clothes. Blow dry, put it back on, cover the quilt and go out.

The next day, Xiao Jin got up a little late, and thanked Muxianxi first: “I trouble you again last night.”

Wooden Pillow Creek was cooking breakfast in the kitchen and turned his back to her and said, “You’re welcome.”

Xiao Jin asked, “Why are you still at home at this time?”

Wooden pillow Brook said: “Didn’t you agree to send you to school to report?”

Xiao Jin was a little dazed, but then she thought about it again. She seemed to have talked about this topic before she was in a trance last night, and gave a soft “um”.

Muzhenxi looked back at her, and it was the same clothes she wore before going to bed yesterday. She didn’t dare to stop her eyes too much, and urged her softly: “Go take a shower, and have breakfast right after washing.”

Xiao Jin said: “Okay.”

After breakfast, Muzhenxi helped Xiao Jin to check the required documents, and after confirming that there were no omissions, they went to Lincheng University together. Teachers report earlier than students enroll, so the school is still relatively deserted, and the students are sparse. The scenery of Lincheng University is very good, the trees are shady, and the wooden pillow stream has nothing to do here.

The heat has not yet subsided, and the sun is scorching the earth. Muzhenxi holds a parasol in one hand and tries to walk under the shade of the tree as much as possible. As he walks, he introduces to Xiao Jin, “This is the student dormitory building, and it is all in that row.”

Wooden pillow Brook pointed to the roadside: “There is the wind and rain playground. During normal classes, there will be many students playing ball here. Handsome guy… Forget you don’t like handsome guys.”

Xiao Jin joked, “Who said I don’t like handsome guys?”

Mu Zhenxi heard a smile and said in cooperation: “Well, there are still many handsome guys in this school, some of them are in good shape. If you have nothing to do after class, you can take a look.”

Xiao Jin tilted his head and said, “Have you seen it?”

Muzhenxi touched his nose and said, “I’ll take a look when I pass by. Food color and **** are also good.”

Xiao Jin looked at the basketball hoop in the field and said, “I remember when you were very tall, people suspected that you were part of the school basketball team, or that you were a model.”

Wooden Pillow Creek smiled and said, “Unfortunately, I don’t know either.”

Xiao Jin paused for a few seconds, then suddenly said, “I really want to see you play basketball.”

Mu Zhenxi was surprised and said, “You have said this before.”

Xiao Jin made a puzzled look: “Really?”

Muzhenxi smiled and said, “Yeah, then in gym class, you went to the boys’ place to ask for a basketball, and let me shoot it for you…” She didn’t say anything, and sold out.

Xiao Jin had already guessed that the result was not very good, and asked with a smile, “What happened later?”

Wooden Pillow Creek said: “Just… throw it in.”

Xiao Jin hissed and said with a toothache, “Why do I not believe it so much?”

Muzhenxi said: “Yeah, you found out.” It was a very playful tone, probably in a good mood.

Xiao Jin’s heart throbbed, trying to resist the urge to hold her hand.

Wooden pillow Brook said: “I made ten shots, but none of them made it. The last shot was very angry and very hard. It hit the rebound and almost smashed myself. If I hide later, I might be disfigured.”

Xiao Jin laughed.

Wooden Pillow Creek followed and laughed.

Xiao Jin turned to look at Wooden Pillow Stream, his eyes were bright with undisguised joy.

Mu Zhenxi avoided her eyes and asked suddenly, “Has your memory recovered a little?”

Xiao Jin panicked for a while, raised his finger and hooked the long hair beside his ear, skillfully covered it up, and said calmly, “No.”

Wooden pillow Brook asked: “I said about the past, don’t you have a vague impression?”

Xiao Jin shook his head and said, “No.”

Wooden Pillow Creek was slightly disappointed and said, “Okay.”

Xiao Jin said, “So you said those things just to remind me of the past?”

Wooden Pillow Creek said: “Yes.”

Xiao Jin’s bright mood disappeared, and the corners of his mouth were reluctantly bent: “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Muzhenxi continued to introduce to her, the library, the liberal arts building, the Shuobo building…

When I arrived at the Personnel Office of the general office building, I handed in the materials, filled out the forms, and signed the contract. When the contract was signed, because Xiao Jin was a Ph.D., the procedure was more complicated and took a lot of time. Handling starting salary, medical and social security, campus card, etc., etc., is more cumbersome than expected. It was not finished in the morning. Muzhenxi called the director and applied for an extra afternoon vacation. The director happily agreed. I ate in the school cafeteria at noon, and swiped Xiao Jin’s new card.

There is a picture of Xiao Jin on the cartoon. When Muzhenxi took it over, he took a second look. For her appearance, Muzhenxi was very convinced, and even an inch of photos could not resist her beauty.

She couldn’t help but think about it, Xiao Jin would probably be chased by a lot of people at school. Not only teachers, but also students. In high school, everyone secretly judged the school flowers in private, Xiao Jin was among the best, many people wrote her love letters and stuffed them in the drawer, Xiao Jin was very annoying, didn’t even look at them, just threw them away.

Muzhenxi made two bowls of soup, placed one in front of Xiao Jin, and looked up at her.

Long hair, slightly curly tails, light-colored lipstick, and delicate eyebrows and eyes drooping, revealing a coldness of alienation, but this coldness is not an iceberg that refuses people thousands of miles away, but a beautiful blooming orchid in the empty valley, exuding Fatal temptation.

Good looks, good clothes, good temperament, and proper walking hormones.

Xiao Jin: “???”

Xiao Jin said, “What’s wrong?”

Muzhenxi: “It’s nothing.” Muzhenxi is not afraid that someone will chase her, but she is afraid that Xiao Jin, who has amnesia, will not know who she is, and will be easily fooled by others. There are so many people nowadays. But on second thought, even if Xiao Jin is only seventeen years old, there are only a few people who can compare with her brain, so it is not his time to worry about it.

When Xiao Jin lowered her head, a strand of bangs fell from behind her ears to her eyes, blocking her vision unevenly. She held the spoon in one hand and put the other hand on her lap. She was too lazy to lift it up, and opened her mouth to blow. Take a breath. Of course, the hair that was in the way just floated up a bit, and then fell back down quickly.

Xiao Jin bit his lip, looked up, and blew again angrily.

Compete with hair.

She’s so cute when her cheeks are puffed up.

Mu Zhenxi was slightly scratched in her heart, she leaned over slightly, raised her hand to put her behind her ear, and said indifferently, “Let’s eat, stop playing.”

Xiao Jin lowered his head to drink the soup, a sly smile flashed across his eyes.

She continued to run to two places in the afternoon, helped her to set up the account of the school’s office system, and asked about the scientific research start-up funds and housing subsidies in the contract. Muzhenxi listened intently and wrote it down in the memorandum. Even though she had never been to a university, she was well-informed about the treatment of college teachers, and she was very professional in the questions she asked, and she clearly did her homework in advance.

From the morning to the afternoon, the whole process was Muxianxi running before and after, Xiao Jin was only responsible for following her, listening with a smile, showing her face when she needed her, and showing someone. With Muzhenxi, you don’t have to think about anything, and you don’t have to worry about anything. Muzhenxi cares more about her than herself. This instinct seems to be engraved in her bones, and it hasn’t changed until now.

Xiao Jin felt dazed when she looked at her serious profile, as if they had gone through the past ten years smoothly and never separated. But then, the cold reality will remind her that they are no longer the close lovers they once were.

Xiao Jin went through the entry procedures smoothly, and his work was on the right track.

On the first day of class, Muzhenxi sat at the desk, fingers crossed against his chin, and was restless at the computer in front of him, until Xiao Jin sent her a text message: [Class is over, there is no problem, the students are very He likes me, and he is very serious in class. I think it’s not just because of my face? 】

She was still in the mood to joke.

Wooden Pillow Creek heaved a sigh of relief and waited for five minutes before replying: [Okay, I will continue working]

September 10, Teacher’s Day, is also Xiao Jin’s 28th birthday. Muzhenxi got off work on time, drove the car to the gate of Lincheng University, picked her up for a meal, and celebrated her birthday.

【I have arrived】

[Wait, I’m coming out of the office building now]

Mu Zhenxi looked at Xiao Jin’s text message, leaned back, tapped the steering wheel lightly with his fingers, squinted slightly, and stared at the school gate. Not long after, a white shadow came into her eyes.

There were so many people coming and going at the school gate, but Muzhenxi caught her at a glance.

Xiao Jin doesn’t have to work. She went out this morning later than Muxianxi. Muxianxi didn’t know what she was wearing, but she only saw it now. Xiao Jin was the same as in the photo she saw for the first time, wearing a long kapok white dress with suspenders, her long curly hair softly draped over her shoulders, like silk, and carrying a handbag of the same color in her hand.

The skeleton is slender, the body is slender, the eyebrows are docile, and the lips are thin and shallow.

When she came over, many people stopped to look at her.

Muzhenxi pushed the door and got out of the car, took a few steps forward, and helped her block the squinting eyes beside her.

Wooden pillow Brook opened the co-pilot’s door, put his hand on her head, Xiao Jin bent down and sat in: “Thank you.”

Wooden pillow creek set up a western restaurant near the lake. The two of them ate while watching the night scene. Finally, they served a delicate little cake and put candles. Xiao Jin closed his eyes and made a wish. The atmosphere was not ambiguous, but very warm.

Xiao Jin even thought extravagantly that the two of them might be able to maintain such a relationship forever.

“Are you full?” Wooden Pillow Creek asked her.

Xiao Jin nodded.

Wooden pillow creek went to checkout, Xiao Jin followed behind her, with unresolved affection in his eyes.

The two went out side by side. As soon as they left the door of the restaurant, Muzhenxi’s cell phone rang. She looked at the caller number for two seconds, frowned, and answered in an unfamiliar tone: “Hello, may I ask who you are…”

Xiao Jin stood two steps away from her and listened.

Wooden Pillow Creek’s tone became indifferent and said, “Is there anything you want to do with me?”

After a while, Muzhenxi sighed: “I’m going over now, you wait for me where you are, don’t run around.”

Xiao Jin glanced at Muzhenxi.

Muzhenxi hung up the phone and said, “I have something to do. I’ll take you home first.”

Xiao Jin nodded.

Muzhenxi put Xiao Jin at the gate of the community, Xiao Jin got out of the car and asked her, “When will you be back?”

Wooden Pillow Creek said: “Not sure, it will probably take a while.”

Xiao Jin said, “Okay, bye.”

Wooden Pillow Creek drove away.

Xiao Jin pressed the position of her heart, unable to ignore the sudden sense of crisis, she reached out to stop a taxi, quickly opened the door and sat in, said solemnly: “Master, keep up with the silver-gray Lexus in front of her. , the license plate number is xxxxx.”

“Okay.” It was obviously not the first time the master took on this kind of work, he answered skillfully, and immediately accelerated.

Xiao Jin’s heart accelerated uncontrollably, as if something bad happened.

The driver asked, “Is that car in front your boyfriend’s?”

Xiao Jin responded perfunctorily: “Well.”

The driver’s master said very politely: “Don’t worry, I will definitely not lose it.”

Xiao Jin’s palms were sweaty: “Excuse me.”

Muzhenxi didn’t realize that there was a car following her, and finally stopped at the periphery of the bar street. She didn’t even take her bag, only her mobile phone, and walked in quickly.

Xiao Jin followed closely.

Muzhenxi opened the call log, dialed the phone number just now, and said indifferently, “Where are you?”

After saying a few words over there, Muzhenxi didn’t hang up the phone and walked slowly following her instructions. Xiao Jin followed Wooden Pillow Creek to a flower bed. A woman was sitting on the edge of the flower bed, wearing a T-shirt and shorts, and she was still a beautiful woman.

Wooden Pillow Creek put away the phone and walked towards the other side.

The two seemed to be talking, but Xiao Jin couldn’t hear it clearly, so he walked around behind a tree to their left and listened.

Mu Zhenxi looked indifferent and reached out to the woman: “Where’s your cell phone? I’ll call your friend.”

The woman didn’t give it, she looked up at the wooden pillow stream, burst into tears, and choked up and said something.

“Wooden Pillow Creek, I regret it, let’s get back together.”

The sound is in the ear.

Xiao Jin’s eyes trembled, his ears buzzed, and the blood on his face faded.
