be safe

Chapter 16

"Xiao Jin, come home with me."

These words came out naturally, and Mu Zhenxi couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, it wasn't heavy or relaxed, but another kind of mood between the two, which was similar to resignation to fate.

Xiao Jin didn't answer.

Her fingers were stiff, and in Muzhenxi's palm, she was more hesitant than Muzhenxi.

She probably guessed something, and she is still in an unacceptable state.She couldn't imagine how Muzhenxi got here all these years, let alone how she got here.

She didn't want to lie to Muzhenxi, but she had an intuition that if she didn't go to Muzhenxi now, she might have nothing.

This intuition was fulfilled shortly after she moved into Muzhenxi's house. Muzhenxi planned to move out of Lincheng. If she hadn't stepped in now, she would have nowhere to look for her in a few days.

Of course, this is something to say later, and I will not express it here for the time being.

"Xiao Jin." Seeing her delay in responding, Mu Zhenxi called out again.

"Yes." Xiao Jin agreed lightly.

"You can live with me, and I will take care of you until you recover your memory." Muzhenxi said these words calmly.

Xiao Jin raised her eyes at this moment, and looked into the deep and clear eyes of Muzhenxi.

She couldn't see through the emotion in the other person's eyes, and she realized later that she could no longer find the familiar affection in it.Muzhenxi...does he no longer love her?

Yes, it's been so long.

Xiao Jin took a breath, suppressed the pain, held the other's hand instead, and nodded slightly: "Okay."

Mu Zhenxi squeezed her cold fingertips, let go, turned to the convenience store next to her, and asked, "Are you cold?"

"A little bit." Xiao Jin said truthfully.She didn't know what was going on, it was still midsummer, and it was 23-[-] degrees in the middle of the night, she was still wearing trousers, but the goosebumps on her arms were popping out layer by layer.

"Go inside." Muzhenxi raised his chin at the entrance of the convenience store.

Xiao Jin didn't move.

Muzhenxi thought for a while, and took a step first, followed by Xiao Jin.

The two entered the convenience store one after the other, Muzhenxi asked Xiao Jin to sit on the window seat, and asked the waiter at the counter, "Is there any hot milk?"

"Have."

"Two glasses, please, thank you."

Muzhenxi skillfully called up the payment QR code from the app in her hand. The waiter tapped her phone and put down two glasses of milk in front of her.Mu Zhenxi turned around with the milk in his hand, just in time to catch Xiao Jin's eyes that he didn't have time to look back.

"Drink some milk to warm your body." Mu Zhenxi stood still beside her, put down a glass in front of her, and sat down.

"Thank you." Xiao Jin held the hot milk in both hands and looked at the table.

Muzhenxi thought for a while, and said, "You don't have to be so polite."

Xiao Jin is a smart person, and Mu Zhenxi is not sure if she has been keenly aware of something with her attitude these days.There should be some, the woman in front of her is pale, and her lips that were not dark in color are completely devoid of blood, and the eyes that occasionally look at her are timid and cautious.

Xiao Jin raised her head and smiled gratefully at her.

The smile was also very faint, and it disappeared as soon as it took shape, and then lowered its head.

Muzhenxi's heart seemed to be gently clenched by a hand, and then loosened, leaving a shallow strangle mark, which didn't hurt very much, but was a little uncomfortable.She took a sip of the milk and looked out of the window.

The two sat opposite each other in silence, and drank the milk one gulp at a time.

Mu Zhenxi paid attention to Xiao Jin's speed from the corner of his eye, put down the glass at the same time as her, and said, "Let's go back to the hotel now? Is your bag in the hotel?"

Xiao Jin nodded.

Muzhenxi took out his mobile phone from his pocket: "Do you remember which hotel it is?"

Xiao Jin gave a name.

Muzhenxi entered the name of the hotel in the map. This is a chain hotel, but according to the condition that Huang Jiao's house is nearby, there is only one answer left.Muzhenxi clicked on the navigation, and it showed that it would take 15 minutes to drive. I couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Why did you run so far in the middle of the night?" Muzhenxi asked.

"I was flustered in the hotel. I wanted to go out and get acquainted with the environment. I accidentally walked farther and farther and lost my way. I asked a passerby, but that person also pointed the wrong finger." Xiao Jin said with a natural expression. answer.

"Hmm." This confirmed Muzhenxi's previous guess that Xiao Jin came out because she was afraid of being alone. Muzhenxi frowned lightly, feeling self-blame in her heart.

Xiao Jin stood up first, lowered her eyes, and said lightly without any emotion: "Go back to the hotel."

Muzhenxi tilted his head, his brows and eyes flickered, and he suddenly felt a little strange in his heart, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.

She habitually followed Xiao Jin all the way out of the convenience store, only to come to her senses, how did Xiao Jin lead the way, Xiao Jin didn't even know where her car was.She took a few steps forward, walked to the position beside the other party, and pointed in another direction: "The car is parked over there, and it will take about 5 minutes to walk."

"Ah."

It was already three o'clock in the morning, and no matter how lively the city was, it fell silent, and for a moment it was so empty that only the sound of each other's footsteps could be heard.

Dim street lights cast long shadows.

Xiao Jin took two steps behind, pulled a little distance to the side, gestured in the air, and slowly held the hand of Muzhenxi Shadow, with a smile on his lips.

"Xiao Jin." Mu Zhenxi suddenly turned around.

Xiao Jin was startled, hurriedly put her hands back into her pockets, and looked at her blankly: "Huh?"

She had no time to hide her panic and joy, and was bumped by the wooden pillow creek.Muzhenxi was startled, and forgot what he wanted to ask at the beginning. The woman under the street lamp had fair skin and bright eyes, and her long hair was smooth, smudged by the warm light. Because of her smile, her eyes were more gentle like water.

Muzhenxi took a second to look away from the other person's face, and said calmly: "Tomorrow we have to go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities for you." The legs are long and straight, the throat moves slightly, and it says, "More...buy some new clothes."

"Okay." Xiao Jin replied.

Muzhenxi turned his face back calmly, exhaled lightly, showing annoyed expression.

What she wants to ask is obviously not this, what is it?

Xiao Jin waited for ten seconds, Muzhenxi didn't look back, and didn't notice the ground, she started to move again.

Holding the "hand" all the way, Muzhenxi clearly felt that Xiao Jin was in a happy mood when he got in the car, the corners of his eyes and brows seemed to be blown away by the spring breeze, he felt extremely strange, but it was hard to ask.

"Fasten your seat belt." Muzhenxi said lightly.

"Understood." The co-pilot replied softly.

Muzhenxi tilted her head, Xiao Jin sat obediently, her eyelashes were long and dense, hanging down like a crow's feathers.Muzhenxi's eyes moved to her earlobe covered by her hair, it was white and soft, crystal clear and moist, and she wanted to touch it very much.

Muzhenxi shook the steering wheel in his hand, looked ahead, turned on the left turn signal and drove onto the road.At the same time, he sighed in his heart, wondering again if his decision was a little impulsive.

Xiao Jin's heart beat a few beats faster, Xiao Jin certainly would not have noticed Mu Zhenxi's sizing up so clearly, but what does Mu Zhenxi mean?Is she going to lose herself again?

Xiao Jin clasped her hands together, and walked to the hotel door with trepidation.

Wooden Sleeper Xi stood with her in the hotel lobby and asked her, "Which floor is it?"

Xiao Jin took out a room card from her pocket and gave it to her.

Muzhenxi looked down at the room number on the room card, and muttered casually: "Remember to bring the room card, why don't you remember to bring the wallet?"

Xiao Jin's face changed slightly.

Muzhenxi didn't pay attention, and stepped forward to press the elevator.

When they reached the door of the room, Xiao Jin took the initiative to say, "I'll go in and get things, you just wait here."

Muzhenxi nodded slightly.

In less than a minute, Xiao Jin came out. In her left hand was the satchel she carried when she met Muzhenxi, and in her right hand was a bag of painkillers that Muzhenxi bought for her this afternoon.

Muzhenxi's expression showed a trace of astonishment: "It's gone?"

Xiao Jin said, "No more."

Muzhenxi walked two steps in, the layout of the room looked like it hadn't been touched, it was clear at a glance that there was indeed nothing.She lives alone in this kind of place, and no one buys anything for her.The heart was scratched gently again, and Mu Zhenxi turned around and stared at her with obscure emotions in his eyes.

Xiao Jin tilted her head, showing a faint smile: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Muzhenxi looked at her, his throat moved up and down, and in the end he just let out a foul breath and said, "It's nothing, let's go to the front desk to check out."

Xiao Jin frowned: "Okay."

Mu Zhenxi took two steps, and suddenly stretched out a hand to her sideways, Xiao Jin was taken aback.

The expression on Muzhenxi's face was no longer uncomfortable, and she no longer pretended to be indifferent. The lights in the corridor reflected in her eyes, like clusters of stars, bright and gentle, and said: "Take me, don't get lost."

Xiao Jin raised her head and stared fixedly at her, with steam welling up in her eyes.

But she somehow got lost once.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Just when Muzhenxi was about to take back her hand, Xiao Jin moved, and she pulled her up with a force that exceeded Muzhenxi's imagination, and even made her a little hurt.Muzhenxi frowned slightly, and the strength of holding her hand immediately receded like a tide.

Xiao Jin's hands were still cold, even though the car and the hotel were much warmer than outside, it didn't get any better.Mu Zhenxi thought of her headache, and began to secretly plan in his heart whether to give her a full-body check-up next time he went to the hospital for a check-up.

Absently, he went to the front desk to check out the room, and drove him home.

Mu Zhenxi went to the kitchen to make ginger tea, folded his arms, leaned on the marble countertop behind him, and stared at the white steam coming out of the pot in a daze.

The past few hours have been like a dream.

She actually took Xiao Jin back again, and really planned to take care of her until she recovered. If Yin Xiaoli knew about this, she would probably say that she was kicked in the head by a donkey.Muzhenxi raised his hand to flick his forehead, Xiao Jin's figure appeared at the kitchen door, holding the pillow on the sofa in his arms, poked his head in, and asked, "Muzhenxi, what are you doing?"

"I didn't do anything. I stayed outside all night. I'll make you some ginger tea to warm you up, otherwise you'll catch a cold tomorrow."

"Oh."

Seeing her not moving, Muzhenxi raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jin stood up straight, as if embarrassed, bit her lower lip lightly, and mustered up the courage to look directly at her: "Tonight...where will I sleep?"
