be safe

After posting Weibo, Muzhenxi fell asleep, feeling more relaxed than ever, and had no dreams all night.

She directly asked for three days off from the company, and rested at home the next day, waking up to exercise in the morning.Since moving to this community, it was the first time for her to run in the morning in the community. There are more green plants here than in the original community. When she looked up, there was already a faint sense of autumn among the branches and leaves.

After breathing in the fresh air, Muzhenxi went out from the gate of the community, clutching his pockets with both hands, and walked aimlessly along the way.Because it was still early, she was walking on the road and saw someone walking a dog, a snow-white Samoyed with long hair, but very clean, being led by the owner.

Before he came over, the dog walker took the dog to an open-air cafe on the side of the road, and Muzhenxi followed, sat at the next table, and ordered coffee and bread.

The owner of the dog is a young girl, probably in her early twenties. While eating breakfast, she stroked the Samoyed's chin and head. The Samoyed crawled around under her hand, docile and playful.

Muzhenxi likes dogs, but he is too busy with work, and the commute time is not fixed, so he can't go out to walk the dog regularly, so he can only watch to satisfy his greed.

The dog owner noticed her gaze and looked over, and Muzhenxi showed a kind smile to the other party.

Samoyed then turned his head and looked at the Wooden Sleeper Creek with two black eyes.

Wooden Sleeper Creek asked in an inquiring tone: "May I pet your dog?"

The dog owner took a look at her and saw that her appearance and temperament were outstanding, so he readily agreed, "Yes."

Muzhenxi walked over, and his palm fell on Samoyed's head, stroked it gently, and sat back to his original position with just one click.

Muzhenxi smiled: "Thank you."

Dog owner:"???"

Is this over?

Muzhenxi drank the coffee in the cup and continued walking.Hurrying to and from get off work every day, she hasn't walked this road carefully, just taking advantage of the rest to relax.

At noon, Yin Xiaoli, the supervisor, called her on time: "Have you had lunch? Where is he?"

Muzhenxi looked at the pot of succulents in his hand, and said, "Flower and Bird Market, we'll have lunch later, and we're not hungry yet."

Yin Xiaoli: "!!!"

Yin Xiaoli thought she was hallucinating, so she confirmed it again: "Where did you say you were?"

Mu Zhenxi ordered a few potted plants, and said to the boss: "Just these few pots, pack them up." Then he smiled and replied to Yin Xiaoli, "I think my house is too small, so I decided to buy something to decorate it, can't I?"

Yin Xiaoli: "OK!"

Muzhenxi took the phone away, frowned and said, "That's fine, why are you yelling at me?"

Yin Xiaoli was silent in her heart for a while, then said calmly: "Shall I treat you to a big meal tonight?"

Mu Zhenxi took the bag handed over by the boss, and said, "I'll treat you as a reward for giving me medicine these few days."

Yin Xiaoli is as good as he is good: "Okay, I want to eat abalone and ginseng belly."

"Yes." Muzhenxi readily agreed.

Muzhenxi then bought two large pots of orchids and put them in the living room. Because it was not easy to handle, she made an appointment with the shopkeeper to deliver them to her home tomorrow.Seeing the parrot seller, he is very smart, but like a dog, Muzhenxi is in awe of this living thing, and is afraid that if he doesn't pay attention, he will raise the other person to death.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when she came out of the flower and bird market, and it was not long before dinner, so she simply didn't bother to eat, and waited for the evening together.She took a taxi to the downstairs of Yin Xiaoli's company and sat in a nearby Starbucks.

Wooden Sleeper Creek: [Are you off work? 】

Yin Xiaoli: [There is still an hour]

Muzhenxi replied ok, and called up the reading software from his mobile phone to read a book to pass the time.

Yin Xiaoli opened the door at 45:[-] and came in. She saw the wooden pillow creek sitting on the glass seat by the window at a glance. She was bathed in the twilight, like a big cat stretched out and basking in the sun.

Yin Xiaoli went around behind her and grabbed Mu Zhenxi's head.

Muzhenxi turned his face unhappily, and after recognizing the person, he showed a helpless smile: "Get off work?"

Yin Xiaoli: "Hmm."

Muxiuxi put his foot down from the chair, stepped on the ground, and said concisely: "Go to eat."

She was starving to death.

Yin Xiaoli talked about abalone's wing belly, but when it was time to eat, she regretted it, and hesitated between hot pot and barbecue.Mu Zhenxi couldn't see it, and quickly made a decision for her: "Hot pot."

Yin Xiaoli said, "Okay."

I chose a hot pot restaurant that I have been to before, because there were too many people waiting for a while, after I was seated, Yin Xiaoli ticked the options on the menu. At that time, I found that Yin Xiaoli had a strange expression.

Muzhenxi wondered, "What's wrong with you?"

Yin Xiaoli winked and lowered her voice: "Guess who I saw?"

Mu Zhenxi's first thought was Xiao Jin, but her intuition told her that it should be impossible, and Yin Xiaoli's expression was slightly deep, she couldn't guess it, and asked, "Who?"

Yin Xiaoli turned her body sideways, averting her eyes to Muzhenxi.

Muzhenxi rolled his eyes around, but found no suspicious person: "Huh?"

Yin Xiaoli directly announced the correct answer to her: "I lean back and count to the second table."

Muzhenxi followed her prompt and looked over: "Which table is there for a man and a woman?"

Yin Xiaoli said again: "Look at that woman again, who is her back image?"

Wooden Sleeper Creek frowned.

Yin Xiaoli convinced her and said, "Fang Ying."

Mu Zhenxi was stunned for a moment, and said: "Oh." Then he lowered his head and took the ipad to see what Yan Xiaoli had ordered.

Yin Xiaoli said, "Is this the only reaction you have?"

The wooden pillow did not raise its head: "Otherwise?"

Yin Xiaoli said: "If this were me, I would go up and slap her both left and right. She had the nerve to call you last time to ask for reunion. You see, she has caught another one now. I hope it's a liar."

Muzhenxi said perfunctorily: "Yeah." He raised his head, "Forget about her, let's eat."

Yin Xiaoli cares more about her affairs than about her own, and too much attention can cause trouble.For example, now, Muzhenxi doesn't want to hear anything about Fang Ying.

The dishes were placed one after the other, and Yin Xiaoli pushed the meat towards Muzhenxi, "You've been tired lately, eat more meat to nourish yourself. Also, you have a bad stomach, so you can't eat too much spicy food..."

Wooden Sleeper Creek eats while the old lady chatters.

On the way, Yin Xiaoli couldn't hold back, and walked around Fang Ying. Fang Ying recognized her, but she didn't know that Yin Xiaoli knew about her cheating, and greeted her warmly.

Yin Xiaoli walked straight to Muzhenxi under her greeting, Fang Ying's smile froze on her face.

Mu Zhenxi felt that she was extremely childish, but she didn't criticize anything, just said: "Satisfied?"

Yin Xiaoli said: "No, at best, I just gave her a fright."

Muzhenxi shook his head helplessly, took the tofu out of the tomato soup with a colander, poured it with beef and celery sauce, and ate it slowly.

Yin Xiaoli didn't want others to ruin her mood, so she picked up a few pieces of kelp and ate it.

While eating, she stopped suddenly, and turned her head to look at Fang Ying's position.

Muzhenxi looked up, surprised: "What's the matter with you? You were surprised."

Yin Xiaoli lowered her eyes, concealing the shock and bewilderment in her eyes, and said, "It's nothing."

She knew why she felt an indescribable familiarity with Xiao Jin.

Fang Ying's appearance is actually two points like Xiao Jin.

She glanced anxiously at Muzhenxi in front of her, and she can guarantee that Muzhenxi never found out about it.If she knew that after eight years of breaking up, she thought she could finally come out and talk to a new girlfriend, but in the end she still carried the shadow of Xiao Jin, and she would definitely collapse.

In the future, I will never want to run to a new life again.

But if you don't say it... it seems that it is not good. If Muzhenxi finds out by himself in the future, the consequences will be even more disastrous.

Yin Xiaoli has been absent-minded for a long time, and Mu Zhenxi talked to her several times, but she just muttered while biting her chopsticks, completely lacking the devotion she had in eating before.

Mu Zhenxi put down his chopsticks, pressed a finger on Yin Xiaoli's forehead, and stared at her: "Say what you want."

Yin Xiaoli had nothing to hide under her gaze, he hesitated for a while, but decided to confess, but she planned to make a detour first.

Yin Xiaoli also put down her chopsticks, and whispered, "What type of girl do you like?"

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "..."

Yin Xiaoli said: "I'll give you a few options, you can choose, okay?"

Wooden Sleeper Creek was inexplicable, so he agreed.

Yin Xiaoli asked: "Do you like oval face or oval face?"

Mu Zhenxi pondered and said: "...he looks good." But Xiao Jin has an oval face, and an oval face should look better.

Yin Xiaoli: "..." She glanced at Muzhenxi, "You can only choose one, and you can't play it freely."

Mu Zhenxi rested his chin on one hand, waiting boredly for her to come up with a question.

"Big eyes or small eyes?"

"Nonsense, do you like small eyes?"

"White skin is still wheat-colored."

"White."

"What about your height?"

"It's better to be half a head shorter than me."

……

After asking a series of questions, Yin Xiaoli confirmed that Muzhenxi answered according to Xiao Jin's conditions.But at the same time, she felt a little strange. It stands to reason that Mu Zhenxi should have shown resistance when answering these questions, but instead of not, she raised the corners of her lips and smiled from time to time, looking very happy.

Bewitched?

Mu Zhenxi narrowed his eyes and looked at her dangerously: "Are you planning to be my matchmaker again?"

Yin Xiaoli quickly shook her head: "No."

No matter how keen she is on this matter, she will not choose this time unwisely.

Wooden Sleeper Creek asked, "What is that?"

Yin Xiaoli gritted her teeth, and said, "Have you noticed that Fang Ying looks like Xiao Jin?"

Muzhenxi froze suddenly.

Yin Xiaoli was afraid that she would be hit hard, so she quickly added: "However, from the question just now, you can tell that you like this type, so it's normal for people to have similarities."

Wooden Sleeper Creek did not speak for a long time.

Yin Xiaoli was annoyed in her heart, thinking of any way to remedy it.

Muzhenxi laughed suddenly, and said softly: "From now on, you don't want to help me introduce a partner, so as not to harm a good girl. Like me, it's fine to live alone."

Yin Xiaoli said anxiously: "You can't say that—"

Wooden Sleeper Creek interrupted her gently: "I've already made up my mind."

Yin Xiaoli said sadly: "If you don't try it, how will you know? If you still like someone who is not like her."

Muzhenxi watched her quietly.

Yin Xiaoli stopped talking.

Muzhenxi paused for a few seconds, and said: "Even if you didn't tell me about it, I decided to live alone in the future. I used to be afraid of being alone, but now my heart is full, and I feel more comfortable alone."

Yin Xiaoli: "Huh?"

Muzhenxi picked up his chopsticks again, took a bite of the freshly cooked bamboo shoots, and said inscrutably, "Humans can live on carbon dioxide..."

Yin Xiaoli knows this sentence, it comes from the drama "The Rhinoceros in Love", she went to see it with Mu Zhenxi before, and the last sentence is: as long as he has love.

Yin Xiaoli said: "But aren't you in a state of broken love now?"

Muzhenxi smiled and said, "Who said that?"

She has love, and from now on, she will always have this love, which is always beneficial.But this time, no one can take it away.

Yin Xiaoli was dumbfounded by what she said, but Mu Zhenxi had no intention of explaining to her, even if she told her, Yin Xiaoli would not understand.

After eating and paying the bill, Muzhenxi passed by Fang Ying's table, and Fang Ying glanced at her by chance, and immediately showed embarrassment. Muzhenxi nodded politely to her, and then walked away without looking sideways.

Yin Xiaoli followed her, seeing her fast steps and free and easy back, she didn't care to turn her head to stare at Fang Ying, and ran after her: "You are really going to fly."

Muzhenxi laughed, opened his arms cooperatively, and waved them like wings.

Yin Xiaoli said, "You look like a quail."

Wooden Sleeper Creek is full of joy.

Strolling outside for a walk to digest food, passing by a wall, Muzhenxi stood still, and made a shadow of a bird fluttering its wings with his hand, and asked Yin Xiaoli to take a picture of it for her.

Yin Xiaoli complained about her: "Isn't it childish?"

Mu Zhenxi said: "Childish." Bian posted this picture on Weibo.

She has a lot of fans on Weibo, Mu Zhenxi usually closes the interface after posting pictures, and never reads comments.Maybe she was too busy today, or maybe there was a force driving her somewhere, so she scrolled through the comments and replied to the first message.

[Are you a little closer to mzx today: I love you [heart]]

Muzhenxi smiled slightly, and replied to the other party: [I like you too, okay?]

Then put away the phone.

Xiao Jin looked at the reply in the center of the phone screen and smiled.

It's the first time she's been paying attention to the other party for so long, and it's the first time she's replied this sentence, so she should be in a good mood.

Xiao Jin got up from the sofa with her arms propped up. Qi Yin didn't know when she was standing behind her with a complicated expression.Xiao Jin touched her face and asked strangely, "Is there something on my face?"

Qi Yin said: "No." Even after sitting on the sofa without moving for almost half an hour, Qi Yin thought something happened to her.

Xiao Jin turned her sore neck: "Then I went back to sleep?"

Qi Yin said: "I'm pretty busy with things here, I'm going back to America next month, will you come with me?"

Xiao Jin shook her head: "I have lessons."

Qi Yin said: "Can't you ask for leave? Everyone misses you very much. The last time Jenny chatted with me and asked me to take you back immediately."

Xiao Jin thought for a while, but still shook her head: "I'll go back to see you when I have a vacation."

Qi Yin shrugged and walked to the guest room. Xiao Jin returned to the bedroom. She had just touched the doorknob when she heard Qi Yin's sudden voice, with a slight hesitation in her tone, she said, "Today, your mother sent me a message."

Xiao Jin turned her face away, unable to hear any ups and downs: "What did she say?"

Qi Yin said: "That is to say, she is going back to Lincheng recently, and asked if you are free to have a meal with her."

Xiao Jin nodded lightly, indicating that she knew.

Qi Yin showed embarrassment, and said: "I know you don't have a good relationship with them, but next time this kind of thing happens, can you not let me pass it on, I will be... very embarrassed."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Xiao Jin said apologetically, "Let me tell them."

Qi Yin sighed and entered the room.

Xiao Jin clicked on the text message column. After editing the text message, she pressed a string of numbers in her memory on the phone keypad and chose to send.

Xiao Jin: [Call me or send me a text message next time if you have something to do]

Mother Xiao replied in seconds: [OK]

Xiao Jin didn't reply any more, went to take a shower, turned on the phone and found another message lying quietly inside:【Are you okay? 】

Xiao Jin: [very good]

Xiao's mother: [That's good, where do you live now?I send you something? 】

Xiao Jin: [I want to sleep]

Mother Xiao: 【Good night】

Xiao Jin: 【Good night】

Xiao Jin glanced at the messages in the message bar and chose to delete them.

The original good mood was completely ruined.

She can let go of many things, but her parents may not be able to return to the original state after spending a lifetime.She has tried her best not to hate them, but every time she sees, hears, or even thinks about them, the negative emotions that grow silently from the bottom of her heart make her unable to face them rationally.

They will still celebrate the New Year together, but there will be no more laughter, and they will bless each other on their birthdays according to the procedure. Xiao's father and Xiao's mother blamed each other for what happened back then, and quarrels broke out at every turn. The deep love between husband and wife no longer exists. A family of strangers.

This may be the case in this life, Xiao Jin crossed her hands behind her head and stared blankly at the ceiling above her head.

She lay motionless for a long time without falling asleep, until the phone screen lit up again.

mzx19891014:

【Good night】

Xiao Jin turned on the phone and commented good night, then closed her eyes.

The next day's classes were very full, and there were four classes in the morning. When Xiao Jin got into the car, she still had two slices of bread in her mouth, so she accidentally got up late in the morning.She drove out from the underground garage, and as soon as she got onto the road, she saw the Wooden Sleeper Creek on the side of the road, and the corners of her lips curled up uncontrollably.

The white car whizzed past Muzhenxi. She walked and looked at the shops on the street. Muzhenxi turned her head feeling something. The car had already driven a long way, and she didn't see anything.

Muzhenxi rested at home for two days, but on the third day he couldn't stay any longer and started to go to work in the company.

First, he knocked on the door of the director's office to sell holidays. Mr. Zhang's attitude towards her was the same as before, and Mu Zhenxi also treated her as if the dinner appointment that day had never happened, and they were all in peace.

It seems that the days passed so plainly.

October [-]th is Muzhenxi's birthday, Yin Xiaoli and those friends have long planned to give her a big deal, but Muzhenxi can't refuse, so they let them go.

She doesn't look forward to her birthday any more than usual, and October [-] this year happens to be a weekend.Early in the morning, Muzhenxi was disturbed by Yin Xiaoli.

Longevity noodles, red eggs.

Although Muzhenxi didn't deliberately work overtime, her job was destined to be different from that of a nine-to-five office worker. She was busy until two o'clock last night, and she was forcibly woken up from the bed after five hours of sleep .

Fortunately, she didn't get up angry, otherwise she would explode by now.

Yin Xiaoli looked at her expectantly: "Eat quickly, we have prepared a day's project for you, hurry up."

Mu Zhenxi got up, and Yin Xiaoli pressed her down.

Muzhenxi said helplessly, "I haven't brushed my teeth yet."

Yin Xiaoli laughed and let her go.

After brushing his teeth, Mu Zhenxi came back, ate half a bowl of noodles with a red egg, and accepted Yin Xiaoli's birthday wishes.Then, just like what Yin Xiaoli said, he went to catch up.

The friends are very capable. The Eight Immortals crossed the sea and each showed their magical powers. Muzhenxi followed them for a whole day, and when he came back, his legs were almost useless. He was carrying a backpack of gifts in his hand. .

Mu Zhenxi collapsed on the ground, and couldn't help asking Yin Xiaoli: "Can I have a peaceful birthday next year?"

Yin Xiaoli paralyzed beside her, turned her head to look at her: "If they can forget your birthday next year."

Wooden Sleeper Creek said, "Forget it."

Anyway, there are only a few times of excitement in a year, so she will sacrifice her life to connect with everyone.

Muzhenxi was very lonely in the past, but after a big change, she stepped into another extreme. She doesn't like to play with people very much, but she can't leave the crowd, forcing herself to become an extroverted person. Many friends, and those friends were true friends.In the past, she could get a little comfort from her friends, but now she actually felt a little tired.

After hearing her finish, Yin Xiaoli said nonchalantly: "Then do it according to your heart, just be happy yourself."

Muzhenxi hummed thoughtfully.

Yin Xiaoli suddenly came to her senses, and exclaimed: "You don't intend to break up with me, do you?" A few days ago, she thought she was talking too much.

Muzhenxi rolled her eyes at her, and said deliberately: "Yes, yes."

Yin Xiaoli rushed over to hug her, and said, "No, Mama won't allow it!"

Mu Zhenxi was almost crushed to death by her sudden attack, choked, and then laughed again: "You are crazy, and, you are really heavy."

He was pinched by Yin Xiaoli.

After the two fought, Muzhenxi turned over from the ground and sat up, leaning against the wall in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yin Xiaoli glanced at her.

Muzhenxi noticed it, smiled, and said, "I'm just going to relax for a while, you go and do your work, don't worry about me."

Yin Xiaoli looked at her suspiciously again, and walked away.

***

Qi Yin heard the door of the living room knock and walked out.

Xiao Jin carried a cake in her hand, put it in the entrance, and bent over to change her shoes.

Xiao Jin: "Don't go out tonight, eat at home."

Qi Yin brought the cake to the dining table, and muttered, "Got it, it's Muzhenxi's birthday today. You buy a cake at this time every year. I don't think I can remember it."

The cake was packed tightly, but Qi Yin still tried to see the inside clearly from the outside.

Xiao Jin had already changed her shoes and came over: "Don't look, eat cake with me."

Qi Yin plugged in the candles of [-] and [-], Xiao Jin lit them, closed his eyes and made a wish, then blew them out.

The moment he opened his eyes, he didn't miss Qi Yin's frowning face, and sighed, and couldn't help smiling: "I didn't even sigh, why are you sighing?"

Qi Yin said in a deep voice, "Do you know what I want to do now?"

Xiao Jin raised her eyebrows: "What?"

Qi Yin said unfairly: "Go and tell Muzhenxi one by one what happened back then, why you have suffered for so many years, she is living well, she is the first to—"

"You dare." Xiao Jin interrupted her coldly.

Qi Yin confronted her for a while, but was defeated, pointing the fork at the cake and compromised: "I want the chocolate on the top."
