Stay Safe - Chapter 72
Wooden Pillow Stream put a heavy weight on the “determined” end of the balance.
With her eyes closed, her brows were stretched, and An Ran fell asleep.
In the dream, there was her and Xiao Jin’s past, the sound of the book was loud, she fell asleep on the desk, Xiao Jin did not know where to pick up a feather, rubbed it on her cheek and the bridge of her nose, the wooden pillow creek closed her eyes and smiled lightly, reaching out to her. He grabbed it next to him and caught the girl’s wrist as he wished.
Warm and delicate, she scratched her thumb affectionately twice, and slowly opened her eyes.
In front of him was a face that was unfamiliar but with a strong sense of familiarity.
Wooden Pillow Stream sat upright, the sunlight outside the window was a little dazzling, she squinted her eyes and asked, “Who are you?”
“I’m Xiao Jin.” The woman answered her.
“Xiao Jin?” Muzhenxi looked again and found that the person in front of him did look a lot like Xiao Jin, no, it was not only a resemblance, it should be said that it was carved out of a mold. Wooden pillowxi had imagined that Xiao Jin would meet in a few years. What does it look like, the appearance completely coincides with this person, “Why did you suddenly become like this?”
“What is sudden?” Xiao Jin said funny, “We’ve been together for so long, yet you don’t recognize me anymore?”
“We? Together? For so long?” Every time he uttered a word, the blankness in Muxianxi’s eyes increased.
“Yes, today is our fifth anniversary.”
“Remembrance… anniversaries?” Wooden Pillow Creek repeated her words dully.
“What’s wrong with you?” Xiao Jin noticed the abnormality and waved his hand in front of her, “Why are you so stupid today?”
“What anniversary?”
“On the wedding anniversary, we have been married for five years.” Xiao Jin motioned her to bow her head.
Muzhenxi lowered his head and saw the wedding ring reflecting the broken light on the ring finger of his left hand: “!!!”
She suddenly stood up and found that there was no class beside her, but in the airport waiting hall, the flight number was written on the electronic display not far away, the departure place was Lincheng, and the destination was Hawaii.
The hustle and bustle of the crowd poured into his ears after a moment of isolation.
Old people, children, couples.
“We…” Mu Zhenxi’s pupils shrank slightly, one hand clenched into a fist by his side, looked around, and finally landed on Xiao Jin’s face full of doubts.
Xiao Jin put his hand on the back of Muxianxi’s hand, slowly loosened her fist, pulled her to sit down again, put her chin on her shoulder, put her other hand around her waist, and smiled in her ear. : “Sleep stupidly?”
Mu Zhenxi was stunned for a while, his brain trying to accept the unbelievable things in front of him, he let out a breath, smiled absently at Xiao Jin, and said, “Maybe.”
She took Xiao Jin’s hand back, intertwined her fingers, and asked gently, “Where are we going?”
“It’s really stupid.” Xiao Jin chuckled and bit her earlobe, “Of course I’m going on vacation.”
“Celebrating a wedding anniversary?”
“That’s right.” She was always slow, Xiao Jin gave her a dissatisfied look, “Didn’t you sleep so much that you forgot about this?”
“No.” Wooden pillowxi hurriedly took Xiao Jin into his arms and quickly comforted her.
Xiao Jin calmed down the anger that was not burning.
The two boarded the plane together and sat in first class. Muzhenxi habitually turned on her mobile phone and entered the photo by accident. She saw a lot of photos of herself and Xiao Jin, and even compiled them according to the year. From 2007 to 2018, she went in one album by one album and watched the two The faces of the individuals turned from youthful to mature together.
There is a picture of Xiao Jin wearing a bachelor’s uniform at a foreign university, standing next to himself in a shirt and jeans, Muzhenxi’s fingers rubbing against the other’s cheek, suddenly there is a heat in his ear, Xiao Jin came over and looked at the photo with emotion: “We were young then.”
“You’re also very young now.” Wooden pillow Brook pinched the tip of Xiao Jin’s nose with a smile, Xiao Jin grabbed her hand and put it on the back of her hand and gave her a kiss, her eyes curved into crescents.
Wooden Pillow Creek closed the album and looked down at the wedding ring on the ring finger. Are they married? And never separated. What are those in your memory?
When the plane landed, Muxianxi rented a car in fluent English, and took Xiao Jin to the booked hotel together. The two chased and fought on the beach, leaving a hearty laughter under the blue sea and blue sky.
When she heard the ringing of the incoming call, Wooden Pillow Creek was sleeping on a reclining chair on the beach. She fished it out and snorted, with a heavy nasal sound.
“I disturbed your sleep so early.” It was Xiao Jin’s apologetic voice, “I woke up and missed you a bit, so…”
Wooden Pillow Creek said in a daze: “Why so early? Isn’t it afternoon?”
Xiao Jin looked at the just-lit sky outside the window: “Huh?”
Mu Zhenxi first felt that the touch under her body was wrong, it was not soft like a reclining chair, and then she slowly opened her sour eyelids because she slept too late last night. She looked around the bedroom, her memories came back, and she pinched between her eyebrows. Said, “It’s nothing, just had a dream.”
“What dream?”
“I dreamed…” Mu Yanxi propped up the bed with his elbows, propped his body up, leaned his back against the head of the bed, and told the truth, “I dreamed that we didn’t break up, and we spent eleven together together. Years, and then in honor of the fifth wedding anniversary, I went to the island for a vacation. I was very happy. I was just sunbathing when you called.”
“It’s a coincidence that I had a similar dream.”
“Huh?” Wooden Pillow Creek sat up straight and said unexpectedly.
“I dreamed that on my twenty-fourth birthday, you drove me to a place. After getting out of the car, you blindfolded and kept moving forward, saying that you would give me a gift.”
“what gift?”
“I just remembered that the sky was full of fireworks, and then I woke up.” Xiao Jin couldn’t hide his disappointment.
Wooden Pillow Creek laughed.
“dare you laugh!”
“Stop laughing.” Wooden pillow Brook restrained his smile a little and coughed, “I’ll get up and wash up first, will you have breakfast with me later?”
“Where to eat?”
“Can I go back to that breakfast shop last time?”
“sure.”
She invited her naturally, and Xiao Jin agreed naturally, without the slightest twist.
“Then I’m up, hang up first, I’ll go downstairs and wait for you, see you later.”
“see you later.”
When Xiao Jin heard the busy voice over there, he covered most of his face with a pillow, only revealing a pair of black eyes, full of joy. In fact, the dream she had didn’t end when the fireworks were set off in the sky, and after the wooden pillow stream proposed to her, she woke up with a smile.
Xiao Jin buried his entire face in the pillow, and the skin on the back of his neck was red, whether it was because he was shy or excited.
After rolling twice on the bed, Xiao Jin got up with a flushed face, washed and changed clothes swiftly, and went downstairs without waiting for Muxianxi to send her a message. But Muzhenxi arrived faster than her. When Xiao Jin saw her, Muzhenxi had a mobile phone in his hand, as if he was about to call her.
“Good morning.” Xiao Jin raised his finger and gently tucked the bangs behind his lower ear. He stood extremely dignified, and spoke in a very ladylike tone.
“…Good morning.” Wooden pillow Creek didn’t know why he followed her cautiously.
The two looked at each other for a while and both laughed.
Xiao Jin carried the back of both hands of the bag, walked over with small steps, and saw that no one noticed.
When evacuating, Xiao Jin sniffed hard twice. She didn’t know what brand of face cream Wooden Pillow Creek was using, it was very fragrant.
Mu Zhenxi looked down slightly, looked at her for two seconds, and took the bag in her hand with a smile.
Xiao Jin put both hands around her arms and complained to her, “I slept too late last night, I’m so sleepy, do you see any dark circles in my eyes?”
Mu Zhenxi tilted his head and looked at it seriously, and said, “There is a point.”
Xiao Jin opened his mouth.
Wooden pillow Brook said in advance: “Hey, are you a dog? Want to bite me again?”
Xiao Jin said angrily, “You said I have dark circles under my eyes.”
Mu Zhenxi was in a happy mood, and said in a high tone: “Oh, you have to ask me yourself, and now it’s up to me, how can you be so unreasonable in the world—”
“Unreasonable what?”
A neighbor passed by and cast a glance at them both.
Wooden Pillow Creek chuckled and said in a low voice, “Unreasonable girlfriend.” In an intimate and ironic tone.
Xiao Jin’s heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, and the strength of his arms around Wooden Pillow Creek increased.
Wooden Pillow Creek She…
She took another look at the neighbors she passed by. She was outside, so the agreement stipulated that she should be called girlfriend, and she had to address anyone like that, regardless of whether the other party heard it or not.
Xiao Jin put his forehead on Muxianxi’s shoulder and sighed inwardly.
Are you digging a hole and burying yourself in it?
Wooden pillow Creek has been so “girlfriend” a few times, her heart should be overloaded.
“Not in a good mood? Or sleepy?” Muzhenxi saw that she had been following her footsteps, but she never raised her head.
“Sleepy.” Xiao Jin said.
“I can’t sleep so late tonight.” Wooden Pillow Creek told her.
“Aren’t you sleepy?” Xiao Jingai put his chin on Muxianxi’s shoulder and asked her with his face raised.
At such a close distance, Muzhenxi could see her little reflection in her dark eyes, placing it in the brightest position in her pupils. Muzhenxi kept looking into the depths of her eyes, with a gentle meaning that she had never noticed: “Fortunately, I’m used to it.”
“Huh?” Xiao Jin knew she was busy with work, but wanted to know more about it.
“When the new game was launched, it was the hardest. It was originally only 996. During that time, I had to stay all night, and all the food and lodging were in the company. Everyone was like a savage. My colleagues used to send a circle of friends, it seems that there is a big photo, which is very ugly I’ll find it for you later and send it to you?”
“Okay.”
“What do you do at home?” Wooden Pillow Creek asked.
“Prepare lessons~www.mtlnovel.com~Write papers.” Xiao Jin replied.
“Aren’t you boring?”
“Fortunately, I’m used to it.” After all, it was inconvenient to walk in this way, Xiao Jin turned to look straight ahead, smiled and answered her with what Wooden Pillow Creek just said.
“All of your friends are abroad?” Muzhenxi remembered hearing Xiao Jin say it before.
“Um.”
“Then why did you decide to go back to China? You don’t have a single friend here.” Muzhenxi said in advance before she could answer, “Is it because of me?”
Xiao Jin couldn’t help but tilted his head and looked at Muzhenxi.
She suddenly couldn’t see what Wooden Pillow Stream was thinking, and she wasn’t sure the purpose of her question. Did she want to get a positive answer or a negative answer from herself? Which one is good for Wood Pillow Creek?
On the day of the blind date, Xiao Jin had since returned to China to settle down, so she found a job at Lincheng University. At that time, their relationship was awkward, and Muzhenxi didn’t ask her why she returned to China. If Muzhenxi asked at that time, she might have told the truth.
but now……
Mu Zhenxi stared at her for a few seconds, with a faint smile on his lips, and asked, “Is this question difficult to answer?”
Although it was a peaceful tone, Xiao Jin felt a sense of oppression coming from her.
Xiao Jin shook his head gently.
Wooden pillow creek asked: “So it’s because of me?”
Xiao Jin’s clever head seemed to be stuck in the shell. Under the sharp gaze of Wooden Pillow Creek, he swallowed the prepared answer from his throat and could only be silent.
Mu Zhenxi removed the forceful aura from his body, leaned over and hugged Xiao Jin, touched her hair gently, and said, “I didn’t want to force you, just ask you a question, just tell the truth, don’t think like that. many.”
After the initial hesitation period, when he really wanted to get to know Xiao Jin again, Muzhenxi felt that she seemed to be hiding a deep secret. Except for the love for her, Muzhenxi could be sure, other things were blurred. .
She has really changed a lot. She is completely different from ten years ago. Did she encounter more things she didn’t know about?
This is an unfounded guess, based only on the intuition of Wooden Sleeper Creek.
Now she is confirming her intuition step by step.
Xiao Jin hugged her back and bit her lower lip with her teeth.
Her mind was a mess. If she answered yes, would Muzhenxi continue to ask questions, why did she not look for her when she returned to China, why did she appear now, and a lot of old things were involved, that was not what Xiao Jin wanted to see arrived.
How to do?
If I don’t tell the truth, will Wooden Pillow Creek find out?
Is she already suspicious?
Mu Zhenxi hugged her for a while, and felt Xiao Jin’s inner torment almost with empathy. She suddenly felt an indescribable sadness.
Ten years and more than 3,000 days after breaking up, they have missed so long without being by each other’s side, so that every contact now is full of temptation and caution, for fear of giving this meticulous care the feelings that are like walking on thin ice that have finally grown new shoots. Add new cracks.
“You don’t have to say it.” Wooden pillow creek’s palm went along Xiao Jin’s back.
Xiao Jin raised his head violently: “I said!”
Mu Zhenxi was even more sad, she suppressed the heat that was surging in her eyes, pressed Xiao Jin’s head back into her arms, and said softly, “I mean, think about it slowly, wait until you think about it. Besides, don’t be in a hurry at this time.”
Xiao Jin was a little confused.
Wooden pillowxi said, “remember the agreement you drafted yesterday? The trial period is 10,000 years.”
It seemed like an ominous omen. Xiao Jin’s voice was very dull, and he was about to cry: “Do you regret it?”
“I don’t regret it.” Wooden pillow Brook pretended not to hear her cry, and sniffed, “My suggestion is to add one more thing. Except for normalization, neither Party A and 12 may terminate the agreement in advance under any circumstances.”
Xiao Jin was stunned: “You mean…”
Mu Zhenxi looked at her fixedly, and her thin lips opened lightly: “I will fight with you to the end.”
This is really not a touching love sentence, and it even sounds a bit rascal, but it does not prevent it from accurately conveying the determination of Wooden Sleeper Creek.
Xiao Jin also successfully received it.
Xiao Jin has been crying a lot recently. Since the relationship with Muzhenxi has eased, he has been crying secretly and openly, and he can hardly count on one hand. She succeeded in destroying a shirt of Wooden Pillow Creek. While Wooden Pillow Creek reluctantly took her home to change clothes, she was relieved to learn the true side of the person in front of her.
Xiao Jin is not as mature and powerful as she imagined, and she is invincible. She just hides her fragile self under a tough exterior.
She has been pretending to be strategizing, no, to be precise, she does strategize, but at the same time, that sense of unease also exists, and she goes with her. As many nightmares as Mu Zhenxi has had, Xiao Jin has had nightmares, perhaps more than her. Mu Zhenxi only hated that he didn’t find out earlier, blindly indulged in his own worries and could not extricate himself, ignoring Xiao Jin’s feelings.
Wooden Pillow Creek poured a glass of water for Xiao Jin and went to the bedroom to change into new clothes.
When she came out, Xiao Jin was playing with the calla lilies in her vase again. This time, she didn’t put it back when she came out, and asked, “Where did you buy this?”
Wooden pillow Brook said: “I ordered it from a flower shop, sent it to the company, and I’ll get it back from the company.”
Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows and asked, “What’s the name of the flower shop? I want to buy some too.”
She had just cried, her eyes were still a little red, but her demeanor and tone were completely normal, very Xiao Jin style.
Who was the one who wet the shoulders of her shirt a few minutes ago?
Seeing that she was so calm and very unpleasant, Mu Zhenxi clicked his tongue, and suddenly raised his hand, his thumb and forefinger pinched Xiao Jin’s upper and lower lips together and pulled them outward.
Xiao Jin: “No!”
Wooden Pillow Creek loosened.
Xiao Jin angrily said, “What are you doing?!”
Muzhenxi said viciously: “I, the bully, bullied women from good families and made money.”
Xiao Jin said, “Did you have—” She swallowed the word sickness.
Muzhenxi nodded and admitted with a smile: “Yes, I’m just sick, are you angry?”
Xiao Jin: “???”
After three seconds of silence, she took out her phone from her pocket and said, “How much do I need to call, can I transfer money?”
Wooden Pillow Creek said, “No.”
Xiao Jin asked, “Then what do you want?”
Wooden Pillow Creek crossed Erlang’s legs, his eyes turned from bottom to top, and he said lazily, “I promise you, I will think about it.”
The relationship between the two changed too quickly, Xiao Jin couldn’t react a little, and was stunned on the spot.
Mu Zhenxi saw that Dr. Xiao’s brain was indeed down, and couldn’t bear to play with her anymore, she patted the position beside her, motioned her to sit down, and Xiao Jin sat beside her.
Wooden Pillow Creek took her hand and put it in his palm, sighing before speaking.
“Are you hiding a lot of things from me? About your abroad, or the reason for your return?”
“I…” Xiao Jin was anxious and hesitant.
“I said you don’t have to worry. You can think about it for 10,000 years when you think about it.” Muzhenxi still has a sense of humor.
Xiao Jin raised the corner of his lips, and the shape of a smile was looming.
The sound of Wooden Pillow Stream is calming, and the question is changed: “Are you also afraid that I will leave you?”
Xiao Jin pursed his lips and nodded.
“why did not you tell me?”
silence.
“Sorry, I can’t wait for you to think about this issue for 10,000 years.” Muzhenxi looked at the time on his mobile phone, “I guess I won’t be able to eat breakfast as promised. If you don’t talk about it, I will have my salary deducted. It doesn’t matter if the salary is deducted. But how long do I work every night, how long do I have to leave work late, I hope you won’t let me stay up all night.”
Xiao Jin rubbed the fabric of his pants with his free hand, frowning slightly.
Muzhenxi waited patiently, holding Xiao Jin’s hand all the time, hoping that she could draw some strength from him.
After a while, Xiao Jin lowered his head and said compromisingly, “Because I don’t think I am qualified.”
She was the original “betrayer” in this relationship, even if it didn’t come her way. Everything she has endured now, including the first ten years, is her own fruit. Compared with the hardships Muzhenxi has endured, she has no worries about food and clothing, surrounded by friends, and receives the top education. She just lost a lover, which is not worth mentioning. She even sometimes feels that this is not enough, and she should suffer a little more to offset the two from Wooden Pillow Stream.
What qualifications does she have to worry about gains and losses? Even if Mu Zhenxi said she regretted it now, she didn’t want to make any agreement with herself, she patted her **** and wanted to leave, Xiao Jin would only accept the reality, and then return to where she should be, and never appear in front of her again.
Will you be unhappy?
Yes, but the unwillingness in her heart was insignificant and could not make any waves.
“Xiao Jin.” Muzhenxi looked at her drooping eyelids, she felt the hand in her hand trembling slightly, and whispered to her.
“…”
“Xiao Jin.” Wooden pillow creek raised the volume.
Xiao Jin raised his head, but still didn’t dare to look at her.
Wooden Pillow Creek said, “Look at me.”
Xiao Jin looked at her, his eyes were very calm, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
Wooden pillow brook is very puzzled, how can such a fiery love and such a cold ice appear in the same person’s eyes. Then came the uncontrollable sadness, this person turned out to be her Xiao Jin.
She gritted her teeth and said the line she just thought up: “I’m very disappointed in you.”
Emotions began to appear in Xiao Jin’s eyes, she was dumbfounded for a while, and whispered, “I’m sorry.”
Muzhenxi choked his throat and said, “I don’t want you to be sorry, and I don’t want you to be so humble. You pulled me out of the quagmire, and you were still stuck in it, you know?”
Xiao Jin denied: “I don’t.”
Mu Zhenxi said: “Why don’t you? Why do you say you are not qualified? Just because you dumped me before, then I said that the first time I quarreled was because I said I didn’t want to study, if it wasn’t for me, you It won’t break the papers either.”
Xiao Jin choked and corrected her seriously: “You can’t say that.”
Mu Zhenxi wanted to say it, but still stuck his neck, and said confidently: “Why is the truth on your side? Is it because you study more books than me? Or is it because your grades are better than me? From the past to the present, The relationship between the two of us has always been dominated by you, why?! You said that if you are not qualified, you are not qualified, have you asked me?!”
Xiao Jin had never seen such a superb ability to mess around with her, and after a few seconds of silence, she said, “What does it have to do with studying and grades? Did I not let you lead? You have to rely on me.” She suddenly After a while, I felt that the habit of turning over old accounts was not good, so I changed the point of view and said calmly, “I am in charge of the current relationship, isn’t it you? You can reconcile when you say it, and you can divide it if you say it. not enough?”
“Not enough!” Muzhenxi roared, “Is it my business to fall in love? You are just imposing your will on me under the guise of being good for me. If you really think I want to make peace, make peace with you. , then don’t seduce me!”
Xiao Jin was shocked: “When did I seduce you?”
Muzhenxi said: “You took the initiative to add me on WeChat, take the initiative to go to the coffee shop to meet me, and you even sent me pictures of taking a bath on purpose!”
Xiao Jin frowned: “Didn’t you say you didn’t see it?”
Wooden pillow brook said loudly, “I saw it and lied to you and said I didn’t see it?!”
……Row.
Xiao Jin was speechless.
Mu Zhenxi snorted coldly: “Anyway, you seduced me, you just want to seduce me to get back with you, you can divide whatever you want, and you brush your favorability in front of me every day, where is the attitude of letting me divide it!”
Xiao Jin was aroused by her yin and yang attitude, and restrained: “Yes, I want to be with you, and I don’t want to break up again, is this wrong?”
Mu Zhenxi shrugged indifferently: “That’s right, then why do you say you’re not qualified to say you’re afraid? Do you think you’re not qualified? Well, I’ll break up with you now, anyway, the agreement hasn’t been signed, and it can be broken even if it is signed, Not even a penalty fee.”
Xiao Jin glared at her: “You dare?!”
Wooden Pillow Creek stretched out on the sofa and smiled contemptuously: “Why don’t I dare? What qualifications do you have to ask me? I have the final say in this relationship, I will reconcile if I say it, and I will divide it if I say it. I told you, I have never had any real feelings for you. I just thought that you had changed a lot, it was novel and interesting, so I just played with it, and when I got tired of it, I kicked you in return. You dumped me at the time, since you said so now, I found out in my conscience and decided to dump you now, lest you be even worse in the future.”
Mu Zhenxi felt that her acting skills were really good, because Xiao Jin was about to cry because of her.
Muzhenxi wanted to say something else, but she was afraid that she would cry too, so she had to point to the door and said with a cold face, “Go on your own and stay decent.”
After saying that, he lowered his eyelashes indifferently.
Xiao Jin’s lips trembled with anger.
She knew that what Muzhenxi said wasn’t the truth, she was deliberately mad at her, probably to understand her heart knot, Xiao Jin understood all these, but she still couldn’t control her anger, her eyes were red.
“Wooden Pillow Creek!”
Mu Zhenxi maintained the expression just now, raised his eyes disdainfully, and suddenly a flower appeared in front of him.
Then there was a tingling on the lips.
