Stay Safe - Chapter 52
Muzhenxi didn’t say much after she broke up, and only told her to pay more attention to rest after returning home.
In anger, Xiao Jin couldn’t detect the suspiciousness of Muzhenxi at all, and even smashed everything he could get on her, Muzhenxi silently accepted it and left sadly.
Xiao Jin is not a fool. After returning home, he carefully went through the ins and outs and details of this quarrel in his mind, and then he understood that Muzhenxi didn’t mean that.
Xiao Jin has a temperament of the eldest miss. Don’t look at the outside as being gentle and courteous. She is a good student in the eyes of teachers, a good classmate in the eyes of classmates, and even a sensible and considerate little padded jacket in front of her parents. Liheng often loses his temper because of various small things, cannot find the guidance book in the wrong place, is a few minutes late to go out, sleeps late at night, etc., etc. It is obviously not related to the wooden pillow stream, and can always be found. It’s all down to her. Mu Zhenxi was surprisingly gentle and patient with her. No matter what Xiao Jin did, she was always indulgent. Xiao Jin sometimes felt that she was going too far. She read books about love and said that in the relationship between two people, you can’t stay forever. One side condones, the other side is unscrupulous, otherwise it will cause a crisis, but Xiao Jin can’t control it, it is probably the so-called coddling and coquettish, fearless.
She lay on the bed with her calf resting on the wooden pillow stream, and recited to her the words written by Wang Xiaobo: “I give you my whole soul, together with his eccentricities, being petty, flickering and flickering. Darkness, a thousand bad things. It’s so annoying, only one good, love you.”
Mu Zhenxi gave her a leg massage. Under the influence of Xiao Jin, she also read a book. She was impressed by Wang Xiaobo’s classic words and asked, “Are you talking about yourself?”
“Yeah.” Xiao Jin said anxiously, “Am I very bad-tempered? Will you hate me in the future?”
Muzhenxi made a move and said seriously: “I don’t have a bad temper, and I won’t hate you. It’s too late for me to like you.”
Xiao Jin’s heart was full of sweetness, but she deliberately raised her face, kicked her calf lightly in her arms, and said, “Liar.”
Wooden Pillow Creek said, “It’s true, I swear.” She raised her hand, put her three fingers together, pointing to the sky.
Xiao Jin said lightly, “I don’t believe it.”
“Prove it to me.” She looked at the Wooden Pillow Stream in a leisurely manner, like a hunter looking at her prey, her eyes dangerous and meaningful.
Wooden Pillow Creek: “…”
She was dumbfounded. The two hands that were massaging Xiao Jin stopped completely. She was so clumsy that she curled up, relaxed, and tightened again. Her eyes were almost red with anxiety. The joy of the sweetheart.
After a long while, she asked, “How to prove it?”
Xiao Jin couldn’t bear it any longer and said, “You should just be stupid.”
Wooden Pillow Creek: “Huh?”
Xiao Jin then got up one by one, raised his hand impatiently and hooked down Muxianxi’s neck, and took the initiative to kiss her lips.
kiss for a long time.
Lips parted, panting.
Mu Zhenxi finally understood, his eyes brightened: “I see, you want me to kiss you.”
Xiao Jin became angry: “Shut up!”
As he said that, he kicked the wooden pillow stream to the edge of the bed.
Xiao Jin often speaks out of his temper when he loses his temper. Sometimes he deliberately says “I don’t want you” or “I lost you” in order to anger Mu Zhenxi, and Mu Zhenxi will show a sad and sad expression. At the same time, she felt happy in her heart. The sadder Muzhenxi was, the more she cared about herself.
At that time, she was popular all over the country, and the lyrics of “I Love You” wrote: Occasionally I really don’t understand you, and who really understands themselves, often two people are very close, which is proved by hurt.
She has said anything excessive to Wooden Pillow Creek, but the word “break up” is a restricted area.
But now she has such an idea under her impulse. She can’t remember why she linked Muzhenxi’s sentence with “break up”, but Xiao Jin knew that this sentence came out of her own mouth. What a blow to Timber Creek.
Mu Zhenxi is sensitive and inferior. She originally chose to be with her because she was under the pressure of the two very different growth environments, not to mention the current messy situation. Facing her own misunderstanding, she would definitely not be able to defend herself, nor would she be able to defend herself. So this is the situation.
After Xiao Jin thought about it clearly, he wanted to apologize to Muxinxi. But firstly, she never apologized, so she needed to do some mental preparation; secondly, her anger has not subsided, and in case she goes and quarrels again, she should wait until she calms down completely, and the two of them resolve the misunderstanding.
It was at this time that Xiao’s mother, Lu Xiaojun, proposed to take her abroad for a few days.
At that time, Muzhenxi’s grandmother’s condition was temporarily under control, but Xiao Jin was not at ease. At first, she refused. Lu Xiaoyun said that their family hadn’t traveled together for a long time. It was rare that she and Xiao’s father had time, so she only went out. Come back soon in a few days.
Xiao Jin hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed. Before leaving, she also put a bag of test papers in her suitcase, and planned to take advantage of the few days of travel to see if there were any helpful questions for the college entrance examination in Muzhenxi.
In her mind, this was just a more serious quarrel, and it was no different from every previous quarrel. They would soon reconcile, and they would have nothing to do with breaking up.
They have a deep-rooted love for each other, they have vowed to each other, and they are unswerving. She believes that Muzhenxi is also waiting for her to come back to her. She needs herself and she needs her.
But she didn’t expect that she would never be able to see Muxianxi again, and the two words she blurted out turned out to be true, and her impulse finally became irreversible.
She didn’t dare to ask Wood Pillow Creek’s true thoughts back then. It was not only the nightmare that trapped Wood Pillow Creek for several years, but also the countless nights she had no dreams in the future.
…
Xiao Jin was in a wrong mood, Lu Xiaojun could feel it, she was holding the shoulder strap of the satchel with both hands, nervously looking at Xiao Jin, whose relationship had finally eased during this period of time.
Xiao Jin closed his eyes, let out a long breath, lowered his eyes and said lightly, “Forget it, it’s over, don’t mention it again.”
Lu Xiaojun knew in his heart that this matter clearly did not pass.
She felt more and more regretful.
The atmosphere between the mother and daughter was stiff, Xiao Jin wanted to say something, but his mind was full of the **** past, so he couldn’t cheer up and talk to Lu Xiaoyun casually. In the end, Lu Xiaoyun could only ask Xiao Jin’s usual work, how to prepare lessons, how to teach students, and the students were not obedient.
Xiao Jin responded with a few words, took out the phone from the bag, and turned on the screen.
Lu Xiaoyun stopped his mouth in time.
Went to a restaurant and ate an unpalatable meal, and the two set off on their way home. The driver sent Xiao Jin back to the community first, and Lu Xiaojun said tentatively, “Would you like to sell the house in No. 1 Middle School?”
Since it is disliked by the whole family, it is better to keep it and sell it.
Xiao Jin shrugged: “You can do whatever you want.” It was the house they bought anyway.
There are many sweet memories of her and Wooden Pillow Creek in that house, as well as the deepest pain in her life. The memory of her has long been kept in her heart, as for the rest, it is not important.
Lu Xiaojun said: “Then I will pick a time to go back to someone to clean it up and hang it up with the agency?”
Xiao Jin said, “Yes.”
Lu Xiaoyun asked, “Do you have anything to go back and get it?”
Xiao Jin looked cold and said, “No. Haven’t you all cleaned up about her?”
Lu Xiaoyun was embarrassed.
After a while, Lu Xiaoyun moved his lips and said guiltily, “Isn’t it—”
Xiao Jin interrupted her violently, and said sharply, “I’ve said it many times, I don’t want to mention this, can you please let me be quiet for a while, can you?!”
She sat in the back seat, her temples were bulging, and she almost roared furiously: “You don’t know anything at all, don’t try to expose my scars to solve me!”
Lu Xiaoyun’s eyes were hot and wet, and he took out a tissue from his bag and pressed lightly on the corner of his eyes.
Xiao Jin leaned back in the seat as if she had lost all her strength, turned her face to look out the window, her chest heaved violently, she slowly closed her eyes, and tried her best to calm down her excitement.
Before getting off the bus, she and Lu Xiaoyun apologized for the rudeness just now, and then said coldly, “I hope this is the last time. Anyone can tell her in front of me. When you mention that year, you can’t.”
Lu Xiaoyun watched her back disappear from sight until she sighed and said to the driver, “Go back to the hotel.”
Xiao Jin was right, she did offer a glimmer of hope that she could be relieved, and she wanted her to face her wounds before she could let go completely. But she still underestimated the level of Xiao Jin’s persistence. One year, two years, five years, ten years, every time she was mentioned, she would have such a radical reaction, maybe she couldn’t let it go in her life.
No, not maybe, but sure.
Lu Xiaoyun closed his eyes tiredly.
Xiao Jin drank some red wine in the evening, walked in the direction of home, opened the door, and threw herself on the sofa, letting herself be in a daze. After a long time, her sore neck moved, and she looked at the window of the wooden pillow stream house from the bay window.
The lights were dim, there was no light, and Wooden Pillow Creek should have slept.
Wooden Pillow Creek.
Thinking of this name, Xiao Jin clamored for the decadent cells all over her body and instantly became full of motivation. She sat up on the sofa, grabbed her phone and checked the time. It was really late at 11:30 in the evening.
Muzhenxi has been sleeping regularly recently, so he has to be a little more regular.
Xiao Jin dominated his body to take a shower mechanically, returned to the bedroom, and tucked himself into the bed where the hot water bottle was placed. I had a dream, I dreamed of high school. When I woke up, I couldn’t remember many details, but the corners of my mouth were raised.
Early the next morning, she didn’t drive to work, she took a chance and went to the cafe next to the community, where she met Muxianxi last time. When she walked to the door, she was stunned. Wooden pillow stream was sitting inside by the window, and she came again.
Xiao Jin stood at the door for two seconds, stepped in, ordered the latte recommended by Wooden Pillow Creek last time, and sat down opposite Wooden Pillow Creek.
Mu Zhenxi looked up at her, not surprised. He didn’t know if he expected her to come, or just like Xiao Jin, he saw her through the glass beforehand.
Wooden Pillow Creek said, “Good morning.”
Xiao Jin said, “Good morning.” She took off the scarf around her neck and put it on the back of the chair.
Wooden Pillow Creek looked at her up and down and smiled softly: “You dress well today too.”
Xiao Jin nodded generously: “Thank you.”
Wooden Pillow Creek said, “Have you settled for the coffee?”
Xiao Jin said, “Not yet.”
Wooden pillow Brook said: “Yesterday was too rushed, and I didn’t officially thank you. I invite you for this cup? Let’s talk.”
Xiao Jin smiled: “Okay.”
The two fell into the cold.
Mu Zhenxi excitedly ran to see Xiao Jin yesterday and poured a basin of cold water on her when she said she was going to accompany her mother to dinner. When she went back, she almost dismissed the idea. She thought that there are ways to thank her, but this is the most inappropriate.
What is she going to say to Xiao Jin? Thinking of the unspoken words yesterday, Muzhenxi was afraid for a while, the impulse is the devil, and the situation will be out of control. Not only will he be unable to step down, but it will also hurt Xiao Jin.
Thanks to Xiao Jin’s sudden interruption, she had time to think slowly.
“Your coffee.” The waiter placed the steaming latte from the tray beside Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin squeezed the white porcelain spoon with two fingers, stirring the coffee at the bottom of the cup absentmindedly, resting his chin with one hand, looking out the window at the street scene.
“Anything on your mind?”
There was a question in front of him.
Xiao Jin didn’t seem to have expected that Muzhenxi would take the initiative to ask her. He was stunned, lowered his head and smiled, and said softly, “Indeed.”
Wooden Pillow Creek leaned back, in a listening gesture: “Do you mind talking to me?”
Xiao Jin was silent for a moment, then said, “There is a part about you, do you want to hear it?”
Wooden Pillow Creek hesitated for a few seconds and nodded.
Xiao Jin sighed and said, “I went to dinner with my mother last night.”
Muzhenxi hummed and said, “So?”
Xiao Jin said, “We had a fight.”
Mu Zhenxi squinted his eyes and guessed, “Because of me?”
“No.” Xiao Jin suddenly changed her mind. She was probably infected by the wooden pillow creek recently. She had more and more thoughts under her impulse. She even wanted to talk to the wooden pillow creek regardless. She said in a complaining tone, “My mother said I’m not looking for a boyfriend or girlfriend. What do I want to do?”
Wooden pillow creek raised his eyebrows, looked a little gloating, and said, “Forcing marriage?”
With a sad face, Xiao Jin said cutely, “Yes, yes, am I miserable?”
Wooden pillow brook smiled and said: “miserable, fortunately I have no one to force me.”
“Nonsense, isn’t Yin Xiaoli being a matchmaker for you?” Xiao Jin laughed and changed the subject at the right time, “Did your mother contact you later?”
Wooden Pillow Creek shook his head and nodded again.
Xiao Jin: “Huh?”
Muzhenxi said: “After my grandmother died, she bought a cemetery for my grandmother. Didn’t I leave after that? I didn’t have any contact information, so of course I didn’t contact her. Later, when I came back, I ran into her and her husband on the street by chance. Son, um…” Muzhenxi took a sip of coffee, his eyes drooped, and said, “It’s embarrassing, I haven’t seen it since.”
Xiao Jin asked, “Do you still want to see her?”
Wooden pillow creek raised his eyes: “Huh?”
Xiao Jin said, “I saw her last time in a place. She opened a small shop. If you want to see her, I can tell you the address.”
Muzhenxi frowned and said, “Forget it, she didn’t think I was her daughter anyway.”
Xiao Jin nodded and agreed: “That’s fine.”
Mu Zhenxi raised his wrist to look at his watch, then looked at the coffee left in Xiao Jin’s cup, slowed down, and took a sip while playing with his phone.
“By the way, I have something to ask for your help.” Xiao Jin put down the spoon.
“What’s the matter? You said.” Where did Mu Zhenxi pay back Xiao Jin’s favor, the opportunity came so soon?
Xiao Jin said: “A questionnaire survey happened to involve the game industry.”
Muzhenxi asked suspiciously, “Do you want it yourself?”
Xiao Jin said: “No, I am a colleague, she is an animation teacher.”
Mu Zhenxi said: Since they are all teachers of animation, can’t I find someone by myself, how can I ask Xiao Jin?
She still promised: “Okay, you can send your hair back to me, and I’ll let them do it.” Wooden pillow Brook left her his own mailbox.
Xiao Jin said, “Thank you.”
When the time was almost up, the two walked out of the cafe door together, walked side by side, and finally separated at the crossroads.
Muzhenxi received the address of the questionnaire sent by Xiao Jin at about ten in the morning. She clicked it, checked it, and sent it to her colleagues.
Small gossip groups within the company.
– Colleague 1: I’m really brokenhearted this time woo woo
– Colleague 2: Muji actually asked us to do a questionnaire!
– Colleague 3: Let me just say that she has a situation. This kind of boring questionnaire, if it wasn’t for her family, why would she send it to us!
– Colleague 4: So my head was saved?
– Colleague 3: I guarantee the head of Colleague 4’s item, the boss’s mysterious object is a woman! ! !
– Colleague 4: ? ? ?
– Colleague 5678: Colleague 4, what a miserable woman
After Corgi completed the questionnaire, she turned her head to look at Muxianxi, who was working on the computer. Muxianxi’s expression couldn’t see any difference, but it was even more abnormal. I used to smile when I was angry, but now I’m expressionless?
Make the corgi girl suddenly suspicious, isn’t this questionnaire made for the sweetheart, but for the rival in love? Shouldn’t it be?
It was so unbelievable, and the Corgi sister suppressed this bold guess.
Xiao Jin didn’t have the contact information of Muxianxi, and temporarily contacted her by email.
At eleven o’clock in the morning, Xiao Jin sent an email with a line of text lying quietly in it: [Enough samples, thank you]
Muzhenxi stared at this “thank you” for a long time, and his heart was agitated with a nameless fire. He clicked the reply button with the mouse, tapped the keyboard with both hands and fingers, deleted, deleted, modified, and finally returned to the past line: [Thank you, you’re welcome]
Xiao Jin didn’t send any more messages until he got off work in the morning.
Wooden pillow creek and sister corgi went to the cafeteria to eat, sister corgi observed her expression, and after ten minutes, finally confirmed that she was in a bad mood today.
“Boss?”
“Huh?” Wooden pillow creek raised his eyes with hidden murderous intent.
Sister Corgi shrank indistinctly, then resolutely retreated, and asked, “Are you feeling better from your cold?”
Wooden Pillow Creek lowered his eyes and said lightly, “It’s much better, what’s wrong?”
Sister Corgi said with a flattering smile: “What medicine do you take, can you recommend it to me?”
Muzhenxi glanced at her, rubbed her back molars, and said with a smile, “I want to make you into medicine.”
The corgi girl buried her head and worked hard, and didn’t dare to let go of a fart.
The next day, Muxianxi chose to make breakfast at home. She hadn’t opened a fire in the kitchen for a week. Seeing the heat coming out of the pot, she felt a sense of nostalgia, and she also got a long-lost peace.
She realized that she had been affected by Xiao Jin too much recently, and even her daily life had been affected a lot. Maybe she should learn to calm down a bit, and not get distracted by a little trouble.
Don’t say that Xiao Jin should have nothing to do with that colleague, and even if there is something, it is none of his business.
When it comes to her relationship, she is like an elderly person who has already entered the retirement life ahead of schedule. She walks slowly step by step. She is still moved by Xiao Jin, but she has no enthusiasm for chasing her. If she happens to meet on the road, just say hello. Very good, wait for time to slowly heal the previous scars, if it is appropriate, it is not impossible to walk side by side for a while, but if the other party wants to find other companions in the middle, she doesn’t care.
She appeared in the coffee shop every day, sometimes meeting Xiao Jin, sometimes not. Xiao Jin’s commuting by car and subway also became irregular, and both of them were willful.
Time is being chased away, and soon ushered in the most important day of the year – the Spring Festival.
Xiao Jin took the winter vacation with the students early, and returned to the United States to gather with friends who had been away for a few months.
Muzhenxi has been working overtime in China during this period of time, not to mention going to the coffee shop, not even going home, and the other members of the project team are similar. One day, the corgi screamed “ah” and said, “It will be New Year’s Eve in two days!”
The atmosphere in the office immediately became restless, and it was as if a thousand ducks had been put in, chatting and discussing.
“Are you going home for the New Year this year?”
“If I don’t go back, I’ll have a week’s leave in total. It’s not easy to buy tickets. Anyway, it’s not interesting for the New Year. I’ll go back when I take the annual leave.”
“I’m not going back either, I’m going to play.”
“Where to play?”
“Sanya, let’s go on vacation.”
“Wow, it’s so cool. If I dare not go home, my parents will break the dog’s legs.”
…
dong dong.
The glass of the Wooden Pillow Creek station was knocked.
Muzhenxi stared at the computer in front of him without turning his head: “Speak.”
Sister Corgi leaned over and asked in a low voice in the noisy discussion, “Are you going home for the New Year?”
Wooden Pillow Creek: “Back.”
Corgi sister: “Where is your hometown?”
Wooden Pillow Creek: “Local.”
Corgi girl: “Oh, oh, that’s good, you don’t need to grab a ticket.”
Wooden pillow creek said indifferently “um”: “Is there anything else?”
Sister Corgi thought for a while and said, “Yes.”
Wooden Pillow Creek stopped sliding the mouse and finally gave her a look: “Speak.”
The corgi sister said: “I am afraid that there will be too many blessings on New Year’s Eve, and you will not be able to see my greetings. I am afraid that the firecrackers on the first day of the new year will be too noisy, and you will not hear my blessings, so I want to talk to you now. You say: Happy New Year.”
The corner of Wooden Pillow Creek’s mouth twitched.
Corgi girl: “Hahahahaha.”
Muzhenxi turned to look at the computer, and after a few seconds, he gently bent his eyes.
In the afternoon of the 29th, everyone except Wooden Pillow Creek had no intention of working, and waited for the time to get off work. At five o’clock, the desks and chairs in the office rattled, and the crowd swarmed out. The moment they went out, they turned around to catch up with the scene and left the sentence “Happy New Year everyone, see you next year”.
“Happy New Year, boss, see you next year.” Corgi, the second-to-last girl, jumped away happily with small steps.
“Happy New Year.” The office was empty when the sound of the wooden pillow creek fell.
She unhurriedly put away the items on the desk, and was the last to leave, locking the door of the office.
“Are you really not going to my house for the New Year?” On the way home, Muzhenxi received a call from Yin Xiaoli, who also got off work there, and the train went back to her hometown on New Year’s Eve.
“Thank you for your kindness, but I really don’t need it.” The wind was very strong today, and the weather forecast said it might snow. Wooden Pillow Stream gathered up the wool scarf at the neckline, pulled the cuffs up, and covered himself as much as possible. Finger holding phone.
“On the matter of more than one pair of chopsticks, my parents miss you. Every day I hear me say that I have an immortal girlfriend. Until now, I have only seen photos, not real people.”
“It’s weird, I’ve been up all night for three consecutive nights, and I have seven days off in total. I’ll delay another two days on the road. I think you want me to vomit blood.”
“I promised not to make jokes about vomiting blood, but now you say it yourself.”
Wooden Pillow Creek laughed twice.
“It’s fine if you don’t come. Show me the dinner tomorrow. Instant noodles are not allowed.” Yin Xiaoli knew there was no way to convince her. She had known Muzhenxi for so long, and she never said anything about it. A cold person.
“Understood, Mom.” Wooden Pillow Creek smiled and dragged his voice.
The eyelashes were dyed a little cool, and people came and went to stop at the Zhongmu Pillow Stream, looking up, and the snowflakes fell from the sky and the earth.
