Stay Safe - Chapter 54

Xiao Jin repeatedly confirmed the three big characters beating on the screen, pressing his chest nervously with one hand and pressing the answer button with the other.

“Happy New Year.”

“Happy New Year.”

in unison.

Two completely different tones, the same as trying to hide the tension.

Since the default is to be friends, why not take advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese New Year and call the other party directly? There is an impulse in my heart to tell myself: I want to hear her voice.

At the moment when the voice appeared in my ear, my heart that had been hanging for a long time thumped, and it fell to the ground.

But I don’t know what to say.

Greetings like old friends? It doesn’t seem to be for this reason; don’t say anything, and waste the great opportunity of the Chinese New Year. I missed this time, and I don’t know when I will have the courage to call next time.

So they each held their mobile phones and listened to the breathing sound of the other side, pretending to have forgotten the fact that they were still talking.

The announcement of the railway station sounded at the right time: “The kxxxx train from place x to place y has started to check tickets. Passengers, please take your luggage. The ticket gate is a14…”

Mu Zhenxi was startled, and finally found the opportunity to speak again: “Are you at the train station?” Today is New Year’s Eve, where is she in such a hurry to go? Or are you just watching some TV movie?

Xiao Jin said: “Well, go back to Lincheng.”

The heart in Muzhenxi’s chest jumped heavily, and his throat suddenly tightened due to the surging speculation: “Why are you in such a hurry?”

Xu Shi was so full of feelings that it was about to overflow. Xiao Jin endured it, but finally couldn’t hold back. Looking at the sea of ​​people not far away, he tilted his head and lowered his voice, and said bluntly: “I want to go back to see you.” After a pause, she asked , “Will you let me meet?”

A string in my head snapped.

Muzhenxi quickly moved the phone away from her ear, as if Xiao Jin was speaking against her ear, and the heat she exhaled was like substance, gradually eating away all her reason and thoughts.

She pressed the phone’s microphone, breathing heavily.

Xiao Jin couldn’t wait for a response, his brain slowly calmed down, bit his lower lip, and went back to remedy: “You didn’t hear what I just said, it’s time to check the ticket, I’ll go to the ticket gate.”

“Wait a minute.” Wooden Pillow Creek suddenly said.

Xiao Jin held his breath and asked softly, “Is there anything else?”

Wooden Pillow Creek asked, “Are you…” She vomited in three breaths and asked, “What time does your car arrive?”

Xiao Jin was ecstatic, she couldn’t believe what she heard, she confirmed nervously, “Are you coming to pick me up?”

Wooden Pillow Creek didn’t say clearly: “What time do you arrive? If it’s too early, it’s not safe.”

Xiao Jin had already determined that she meant that, and quickly replied: “Five o’clock, five o’clock!”

Muzhenxi hummed, and asked in a low voice, “Is it the East Station?”

Xiao Jin said: “Yes, you don’t use it too early.” She was incoherent, I was with you for a long time, raised her hand to cover her wet eyes with the back of her hand, raised her face and took a few deep breaths, suppressing the choking in her throat, “I’m going to check in.”

Wooden Pillow Creek said, “Go.”

Xiao Jin said, “You hang up.”

Wooden pillow brook said, “bye bye, see you later.” and cut off the phone.

Xiao Jin listened to the busy tone inside and kept listening until it automatically returned to the main interface.

Mu Zhenxi sat on the bed with his hands on his knees, his chin resting on it, and his eyes stared straight at the wall in front of him. He regretted that he had no regrets, but he didn’t know whether his choice was right or wrong.

Forget it, let it be, if God is willing to bless her again, she has no reason to refuse.

Xiao Jin.

For her now, it is a name that is sweeter every time she misses it, and it is an unruly instinct to approach her.

Just like the two ends of the positive and negative magnetic poles, they are destined to attract each other.

Wooden Pillow Creek set an alarm clock for four in the morning on his mobile phone, lay on the bed again, and fell asleep smoothly this time.

The night was dark, and the wooden pillow stream was woken up by the alarm clock. A carp sat up straight, yawned and put on the clothes that had been put on the bed before going to bed, one by one, and went to the bathroom to wash.

The winter in the south is very grueling. Rao is self-disciplined like a wooden pillow. In the morning, she has to linger under the bed for a while before she can grit her teeth and get up. She packed everything and went out. She checked her phone, but after ten minutes, she broke the previous record. .

Once born and cooked twice, Muzhenxi sent a text message to Xiao Jin: [Going out]

Xiao Jin was cramming into the bustling carriage connection. When she got on the carriage, the carriage was already full of people, and there was no gap left in the aisle. She had no choice but to stand here. There were still people smoking a few steps away. The second-hand smoke made her frown, pulling the suitcase and curling herself into the corner.

The phone in the coat pocket vibrated, Xiao Jin touched a woman who was dozing on top of her with her elbow, and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I’ll take off the phone.”

The woman glanced at her and stepped aside.

Xiao Jin’s arm was stiff. When she pulled out the phone, a muscle inside her elbow went numb. She almost dropped the phone to the ground. She quickly grabbed the phone with her other hand, and then held the phone firmly and unlocked the screen. .

Message from Wooden Pillow Creek: [Going out]

Xiao Jin moved his fingers, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he typed: [I still have an hour to arrive]

Wooden Pillow Creek returned quickly: [I know]

Xiao Jin: [Are you in the underground garage now? 】

Muzhenxi looked down at the phone, the corners of his eyes and brows were smiling, his fingertips tapped, and he returned to the past two words: [hmm]

Xiao Jin imagined that Muzhenxi was standing in front of her and talking to her in such a tone, her whole heart flew up uncontrollably, and she wanted to fly to Muzhenxi immediately. She quickly tugged the little wings that wanted to go to the sky in her heart to calm herself down.

Don’t think too much, don’t be insatiable, and be content.

Xiao Jin closed his eyes to regulate his breathing, and opened his eyes again to be clear: [Drive slowly, pay attention to safety]

Muzhenxi didn’t reply anymore, probably already driving.

For the next hour, Xiao Jin was thinking about their upcoming meeting. She didn’t dare to expect a leap forward with Wooden Pillow Creek, as long as she could look at her, talk quietly for a while, even if they stayed together for a while, it was a great gift.

It takes half an hour to drive from Muzhenxi’s house to the East Station, that is to say, it takes half an hour just to send myself back, plus the time at both ends, it is almost an hour.

Xiao Jin smiled involuntarily, and even secondhand smoke didn’t smell bad anymore.

Muzhenxi arrived at the train station twenty minutes early. She found the exit of Xiao Jin’s car, paid attention to the surrounding shops along the way, and went to Mji to buy a cup of hot milk when she arrived at the station in ten minutes. Then he stood at the exit, took out his mobile phone, and dealt with the various blessing text messages he received last night. None of the group messages were returned. Yin Xiaoli sent her a Happy New Year at twelve o’clock. Although it only had four words, Muzhenxi knew that she had called her word by word on the message board, so she replied: 【Good morning】

There was too much news, and before the wooden pillow stream was finished, Yu Guangli noticed the constant emergence of figures in the exit, and the station broadcast also broadcasted the arrival information twice.

Muzhenxi became nervous for no reason. This feeling was familiar and unfamiliar, just like when she was a student, she deliberately went downstairs to Xiao Jin’s house every morning to wait for her to go to school together.

Wooden Pillow Creek glanced inside, put the phone back in his pocket, and tested the temperature of the milk with his palm, but it was still hot.

One after another, passengers came out of the station. Wooden pillow creek was holding milk in one hand and looking forward to it, but the moment he caught the figure, he turned his head away and stared at the billboard on the distant corridor in a daze.

When Xiao Jin got off the elevator, she saw Muxianxi from a distance. She was so tall, wearing a dark camel coat with crisp fabric, fair complexion, thin waist and long legs, she was the focus of the crowd wherever she went.

Seeing that Muzhenxi suddenly turned his head away, Xiao Jin was stunned and almost laughed.

After so many years, her look of being duplicitous or shy and reserved has not changed at all.

When we first got together, Mu Zhenxi held back for several days, couldn’t help but go to the gate of her community to wait for her to go to school, and didn’t tell Xiao Jin, if Xiao Jin saw her in the car, he asked the driver to stop to confirm, and he would return. Don’t know how long she’s going to be sneaking around.

“Why are you at the door of my community?” Xiao Jin asked seriously.

Wooden Pillow Stream glanced at the sky, glanced at the toe of the shoe, and said, “I passed by.”

Xiao Jin gave a meaningful “Oh” and said, “Then you have traveled far enough.”

Muzhenxi said: “I think the scenery here is beautiful, and the scenery here is the best near the school.”

Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows: “Okay, will you pass by tomorrow?”

Wooden pillow creek lowered his head, the tip of his shoe rubbed the ground, and his voice was very soft: “…passing by.”

Xiao Jin laughed, hugged the wooden pillow and gave her a quick peck on her red ear, sighing like Lan said: “Then I won’t take the car tomorrow, I will walk to school with you, okay?”

Wooden Pillow Stream pursed her lips and shook her head.

Xiao Jin said angrily, “You don’t want to?”

Mu Zhenxi was flustered when she saw that she was angry, and quickly explained: “No, it’s too hard to walk, I’m afraid your feet hurt, so I just came to see you.”

Look at me or look at the car? Xiao Jin said angrily, “My foot hurts, won’t you carry me?”

Mu Zhenxi blinked: “Huh?”

Xiao Jin glared at her, trotted to the car parked on the side of the road, knocked on the window, chatted with the driver for a while, then pulled out the back seat, took out the schoolbag, and closed the door.

Wooden pillow creek widened his eyes and pointed at the car that drove back to the garage: “He…”

“What is he?” Xiao Jin put his schoolbag on his shoulders, and the one behind the wooden pillow creek walked around in front of her, stood on the steps beside the road, and said calmly, “Mr. Mu, carry me to school.”

Mu Zhenxi blinked again, couldn’t help laughing, and tamely bent down in front of her, letting Xiao Jin lie on her back: “Is the emperor sitting still?”

“Sit firmly.” Xiao Jin put his arms around her neck.

“Okay,” Chief Executive Mu choked out his sharp voice and lengthened the tone, “Your Majesty, let’s drive~”

Luan just got up.

Xiao Jin lowered his head and kissed Director Mu on the back of the neck. Director Mu shivered, his hands softened, and he almost fell the Sage, so he quickly stabilized.

Xiao Jin was overwhelmed with joy.

Muzhenxi couldn’t hold her, so he “daringly” bit Xiao Jin’s finger around her neck.

Xiao Jin took a heavy breath and did not dare to make trouble.

…

Xiao Jin swiped her ID card and walked out of the ticket gate, staring at Muxianxi, walking in her direction. Wooden Pillow Creek estimated that it was almost done, so he turned his eyes from the billboard, and just rightly disguised the illusion that he had just seen Xiao Jin.

Wooden Pillow Creek showed a faint smile.

Xiao Jin’s lips curled slightly.

Wooden Pillow Stream passed the milk in his hand.

Xiao Jin smiled deeper and said, “Thank you.” Holding the milk with her cold fingers, she suddenly warmed up, and her heart warmed up.

Muzhenxi put his hands back in his pockets, slightly averted his eyes, and said, “Are you hungry? Would you like to have breakfast?”

Xiao Jin: “!!!”

Wooden Pillow Creek asked her to have breakfast!

Xiao Jin released one of the deer that was locked in the fence, let it rampage for a while, then locked it back again, and happily agreed: “Okay.”

Wooden Pillow Creek looked around for a while, frowned and said, “But there’s nothing delicious right now. M and KFC, do you choose one?”

Xiao Jin looked down at the milk in his hand, with soft brows and eyes, and said, “Mm remember.”

Wooden pillow Brook said: “Okay, breakfast was served over there when I first came here.”

Muzhenxi took the suitcase in her hand, and the two walked side by side to Mji, which was more than ten meters away. Xiao Jin was sucking milk with a straw, and secretly paying attention to her from the corner of his eye, he found Muzhenxi’s white and crystal ears exposed outside. The skin was a little redder than his face, and sensing Xiao Jin’s gaze, Mu Zhenxi raised his hand uncomfortably and brushed his long hair, blocking the auricle, and quickened his pace.

Xiao Jin blinked slowly, bit her lip to hold back a smile, and looked away from her ears.

Wooden Pillow Creek breathed a sigh of relief.

At the door of Mji, Wooden Pillow Creek took two steps forward and opened the door, chasing Xiao Jin’s back, Xiao Jin picked a seat by the window, put half-drinked milk on the table, and sat down.

Wooden Pillow Creek: “…”

She put the suitcase at Xiao Jin’s feet, took off her coat, put it on the back of the chair, folded up her cuffs calmly, and said, “I’m going to order, what do you want?”

She wore a turtleneck bean paste purple sweater today, a very feminine color.

Xiao Jin’s eyes stayed on the curve of her chest for 0.5 seconds, and said, “Just have a set meal.”

Wooden Pillow Creek glanced at her.

Anyone else’s can be anything, Xiao Jin’s “casual” used to have a precise explanation, which was: I don’t eat this, and I don’t eat that.

Xiao Jin lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his nose embarrassedly, smiled, and said, “You order first, I’ll order later, anyway, there is no one at the moment.”

Wooden pillow creek raised his eyebrows and walked away.

Xiao Jin looked at her with his chin up, his eyebrows curved, as if he was admiring a painting.

Muzhenxi came back after ordering, sat opposite her, rubbed her chin towards her, Xiao Jin didn’t move, and asked, “What did you order?”

Wooden Pillow Creek showed her her receipt: the set menu of grilled chicken drumsticks.

Xiao Jin wrote it down and ordered the same thing as she ordered, and Muzhenxi gave her another look.

I just drank milk and ordered soy milk. Can I finish it?

Xiao Jin asked, “What’s wrong?”

Muzhenxi shook her head: “It’s nothing.” She continued to deal with the news that she had not responded to, anyway, she wouldn’t help her eat.

The number was called at the counter, and Muzhenxi raised his hand to stop Xiao Jin from getting up, and ran twice to bring the meal over. Xiao Jin only wanted to eat the same food as Muzhenxi, and only after he came up did he bite down lightly. Lips, whispered: “Why so many?”

A large glass of soy milk, bread, eggs, grilled chicken thighs, and a hash of hash browns, she was almost full just after drinking milk.

Muzhenxi coughed, suppressed the smile, and looked at her: “What do you think?” After drinking the original soy milk, he added slowly, “It’s shameful to waste food.”

The corners of Xiao Jin’s mouth twitched, and his face was bitter.

A gloating flash of schadenfreude flashed in Muzhenxi’s eyes, and he urged her solemnly, “Eat.”

Xiao Jin used a disposable fork to cut everything that could be cut into small pieces, as if this would reduce the volume of the food that entered his stomach. Muzhenxi took a bite of the potato cake, Xiao Jin followed and took a bite, Muzhenxi looked at her, and Xiao Jin swallowed the potato cake.

Wooden pillow creek asked calmly, “Is it delicious?” Xiao Jin didn’t eat anything, including hash browns, which were too greasy.

Xiao Jin said dutifully, “…It’s delicious.” She drank soy milk by the way to relieve her tiredness, but she didn’t tell the ordering table beforehand that the soy milk served was red bean flavor, and she almost vomited after taking a sip. .

She choked her throat and swallowed hard.

Looking at her face, Mu Zhenxi couldn’t help being wicked, and said with a smile, “I’ll order another one for you?”

Xiao Jin: “…”

Wooden Pillow Stream has changed, and she would never play with her like this before. But she didn’t change, the intimacy she showed was enough to make Xiao Jin ignore or even enjoy her bad taste.

Xiao Jin blinked his eyelashes and smiled: “Okay.”

Don’t say one, even if it’s ten, she must… can’t eat it, and Muzhenxi shouldn’t be so cruel, right?

Xiao Jin gave her a trembling glance.

Muzhenxi was silent, and lowered his head and took a sip of soy milk.

It was already very hard for her to control her urge to help her eat what she didn’t like, let alone order another one. It was estimated that it would go into her stomach by then. Muzhenxi chose to let Xiao Jin and herself go.

A set meal is also quite a lot for Wooden Pillow Creek, and she ended up with half a cup of soy milk left. Xiao Jin was fighting the final battle with the steak, eggs and bread in the lunch box. The bread was too dry, the steak was too oily, and the egg was too soft. The above were all Xiao Jin’s words ten years ago.

Muzhenxi worked in a fast food restaurant like Mji as a student and worked part-time. Xiao Jin didn’t like fast food, but if she wanted to accompany Muzhenxi, she would order a meal and sit in the restaurant all day. The eldest lady only took one bite every time, and she thought it was too much.

Wooden pillow creek supported his chin with one hand, and a soft nostalgic look flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Jin used a fork to pick up a piece of leg steak, smelled it, frowned and put it into his mouth. Muzhenxi suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist, took off her fork, and said warmly, “Don’t eat it.”

Xiao Jin raised his eyes and said in surprise, “Don’t you say it’s shameful to waste food?”

Muzhenxi said, “I have a stomachache after eating too much, and my body is more important.”

Xiao Jin: “Huh?”

It was rare to see the intelligent and steady Dr. Xiao showing such an expression, Mu Zhenxi resisted the desire to rub her hair, and reached out to cover the paper lunch box in front of her, announcing the end of breakfast, and asked Xiao Jin to return with a serious look. God: “Have you finished drinking the milk?”

Xiao Jin shook the cup and nodded.

Wooden Pillow Creek got up, picked up the coat on the back of the chair, put it on again, and said, “Let’s go, it’s time to go back.”

Xiao Jin was afraid of the cold. Even though the air conditioner was turned on, she didn’t take off her down jacket. She raised her hand to hold the handle of the suitcase. At this moment, Muxinxi also reached out to the suitcase, and their fingertips met in mid-air. Together, starting from the point of contact, a subtle electric current spreads all the way to the strands of hair.

All trembled.

Eyes met, silent for a second.

Xiao Jin’s fingertips were numb, and he took the lead to withdraw his hand and said, “…Come on.”

Wooden pillow brook hummed, pulled the lever of the suitcase, the universal wheel rolled on the tile, and the heart beat a beat. Xiao Jin’s eyes swept across the slender fingers of Wooden Pillow Creek holding the lever, and he licked his lower lip with an inexplicable meaning, his mouth was dry and his throat rolled.

Mu Zhenxi looked ahead, saw Xiao Jin’s eyes and movements from the glass, his thoughts moved, his fingers curled slightly, and he sighed in his heart.

It’s over, I’ll go back and copy the scriptures later.

There is no air conditioning for a section of the road from the station to the parking lot. Xiao Jin put on the hat of the down jacket early, with a gray fringe around the edge. The originally small face was hidden in it, and it looked even smaller, like a winter kid. Animals are so cute.

Wooden Pillow Creek pretended to inadvertently looked back at her several times, focusing on her face. Xiao Jin guessed that she liked her like this, and walked in front of her deliberately, turning her head to look at her from time to time, and smiling when she saw her.

This time, Mu Zhenxi couldn’t control it completely. The corner of her lips tickled upwards a few times, and she reluctantly reminded her: “Look at the road carefully, and be careful if you fall.”

Xiao Jin was a little forgetful, and said with a wide-eyed smile, “No way.”

Unexpectedly, she was walking backwards, and there was a speed bump behind her. When she stepped on it with one foot, she immediately leaned back.

Muzhenxi turned pale in shock, released the lever, took a step forward and pulled her arm, and pulled the person back, Xiao Jin fell forward into her arms, and Muzhenxi took two steps back to stabilize her figure.

Xiao Jin put his hands on Muxianxi’s shoulders, buried his face in her neck, and breathed greedily. Muzhenxi was in a hurry to go out in the morning, and she didn’t spray perfume. She was completely fascinated by her own breath.

Even though Xiao Jin had restrained himself, the heat rushing up from his neck still made Muxianxi feel so sensitive that goosebumps continued to rise.

She pushed Xiao Jin away, as if nothing had happened, and scolded softly, “Let you not watch the road.”

Xiao Jin was not annoyed when she pushed her away, the corner of his mouth smirked, he took a small step forward and said without fear, “You will catch me anyway.”

Wooden Pillow Creek: “…”

She pulled up the suitcase again, raised her hand and pinched her eyebrows, and began to regret coming out of this trip. She only wanted to take a small step forward. What is going on now? After coming out like this twice, wouldn’t they both have children?

Wooden Pillow Creek was startled.

Fortunately, Xiao Jin still has a sense of restraint, so she didn’t have to take an inch. When she walked to the car, she had regained Dr. Xiao’s dignity and stood beside the co-pilot.

Mu Zhenxi looked at it but wanted to laugh again, and quickly straightened his face.

She opened the trunk, Xiao Jin watched her put away her luggage with a heavy face, and then got into the car together.

Xiao Jin moved his lips and wanted to say something, but Muzhenxi turned on the car music, and the volume was not low enough that normal human voices could not be heard clearly. In order to avoid falling into Xiao Jin’s trap again, Muxianxi took such a resistance measure.

Xiao Jin swallowed his words.

She tilted her head to look out the window, and the seeds buried deep in her heart began to sprout again.

With the performance of Wooden Pillow Creek, did you decide to give her another chance?

Then she began to reflect: If this is the case, is she too presumptuous today, scaring her?

After Xiao Jin came up with this idea, she felt more and more that she had chased Wooden Pillow Creek once. She knew what kind of temperament she was. Drill into the shell, wait until it is safe, then slowly stick out your head and walk forward step by step.

Xiao Jin rested his elbows on the edge of the car window, narrowed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.

When the car parked in the garage, Muxianxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Jin stopped acting like a demon.

She found that it was a bit similar to when Xiao Jin had just lost her memory. No, it was even more terrifying than when she lost her memory. When she lost her memory, Mu Zhenxi could figure out how much she was thinking, but now she has no idea what she was thinking.

Xiao Jin took the suitcase and asked her, “Do you want to go upstairs for a glass of water?”

The neighborhood is safe, and it’s getting brighter now. The wooden pillow stream was sent downstairs, and she prided herself on being benevolent and righteous, and then sent it up, I am afraid… She instinctively sensed the danger and shook her head: “No need.”

Xiao Jin pointed to the elevator door and said, “Then I’ll go up by myself?”

Wooden pillow stream said immediately: “I went home to make up my sleep, bye bye.”

It was obvious that he couldn’t wait to get rid of Xiao Jin’s mind.

Xiao Jin smiled dumbly as she looked at the back of her walking quickly.

Are you so scary?
