pat.

Xiao Jin's well-held pen suddenly slipped out from between her fingers and fell to the ground.

Xiao Jin bent down to pick it up, paused when her fingertips touched the pen, took a breath, and then picked it up again.

I don't know why I always feel a little restless today, as if something bad happened.

Today, when most of the writing work can be replaced by computers, Xiao Jin maintains some of her inherent habits, and often writes by hand to avoid being unfamiliar.This was the third time she couldn't hold the pen steady and it fell to the ground.

"Ms. Xiao." The colleague opposite her said with a smile, "Your money is going to be a disaster for you."

Xiao Jin also smiled and said, "If it's broken, I'll ask you for it."

The colleague raised his chin towards the pen container: "Take it as you like. I don't use a pen now except for various signatures. A pen refill can be used for almost a year."

Xiao Jin was disrespectful: "Okay, okay."

Her eyes fell on the little prickly pear beside the computer desk, which came from Muzhenxi's house.There are potted plants of various sizes on the balcony of Muzhenxi, which is pleasing to the eye.I don't know when she developed her hobbies, and she never cared about these flowers and plants before.

Xiao Jin narrowed her eyes slightly, Muzhenxi didn't seem to be completely careless, she used to look at these shops when she passed by, and there were prickly prickly pears in the dilapidated tube building where she lived.

Xiao Jin now has a very strange feeling that the boundaries between the past and the present are no longer clear. From these clues, she glimpses the traces of time on Jiayu Muzhenxi.

Xiao Jin raised her hand and gently covered the prickly pear, carefully avoiding the thorns on it.

The colleague raised his eyes inadvertently, and saw Xiao Jin's delicate and flawless face with a smirk that didn't match her at all.

The colleague shook his arms vaguely, and Teacher Xiao is still in love.

Xiao Jin had no class in the morning, and when it was time for dinner, she rejected the invitation of her colleagues to have dinner together, and couldn't hold back her inner urgency, so she called Muzhenxi.

Xiao Jin knows that she is more clingy than before, but she predicts that she will maintain this state for a long time, and it is very difficult to bear not to disturb Muzhenxi for a whole morning.

Listening to the waiting tone on the phone, Xiao Jin had a smile on his face.

The phone in his pocket buzzed and vibrated, and Muzhenxi looked around, dragging his legs filled with lead, and found a random tree to stand under, took out the phone, and saw the expected name on it.

Xiao Jin.

She stared blankly at the two words.

Until the phone screen jumps back to the main interface.

"I'm sorry, the number you dialed has not been answered at the moment, please call again later..." The cold mechanical voice only made Xiao Jin's smile fade a little, Muzhenxi may not be able to receive her call when she is working, this is not the first time once.

A message pops up on the notification bar at the top.

Xiao Jin: [Are you off work yet? 】

Muzhenxi can almost imagine Xiao Jin's current appearance, frowned a little, and stared at the phone without blinking, for fear of missing any of her messages. After all, Muzhenxi can only talk to her at noon during the day. say.

Muzhenxi stared at the message lying quietly in the center of the screen, without responding for a long time.

Xiao Jin sent another message: [Tell me after get off work, I'll go eat first]

Muzhenxi closed his eyes, rolled his eyeballs under the hot and humid eyelids, exhaled lightly, and replied in the usual tone: 【Today is very busy】

As soon as Xiao Jin stepped out of the office, she received a reply. She opened it excitedly, and the corner of her mouth curled up secretly. She still wanted to reply in a considerate manner: [Then you work first, remember to eat lunch]

Wooden Sleeper Creek: [hmm]

After that no more reply.

After Muzhenxi and Lu Xiaoyun separated, they didn't go back to work or go home, just wandered aimlessly on the street.As I was walking, I suddenly burst into tears, so I had to lower my head so that no one else could see me.

She was very sad. She found out that Xiao Jin was hiding her pain earlier, but it was nothing. From the psychological to the physical, it seemed that countless hands were strangling her heart at the same time, tightening it, and even taking a breath of fresh air became difficult. .

After walking a few steps, I had to stop, put my hands on all the objects that could be supported, breathe heavily, and tears rolled down together.

The feeling of dying.

She started to cough, and couldn't stop coughing. It was earth-shattering, and the sweet smell of rust filled her throat, which she tried to suppress again.

I felt nauseated from crying, and wanted to vomit, but I had already vomited in the bathroom of the tea restaurant before, and there was only the stomach acid left in my stomach.

She wandered outside until dusk, the physical reaction gradually disappeared, she found a place to eat, looked in the mirror, the redness and swelling of her eyes disappeared, then she started to cut her hair, "leave work early" and entered house door.

Xiao Jin was in the kitchen, the water in the pot was boiling, she grabbed a handful of dried noodles and put them into the boiling water, the noodles softened quickly.

Suddenly her ears moved slightly, as if she heard something, she turned down the fire a little, and took out the spatula vigilantly, in fact, it would be better to use a kitchen knife.

Although the security of this community is very good, Xiao Jin still reflexively raised his guard.

"Who?"

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "..."

Seeing the figure standing at the entrance clearly, Xiao Jin's eyes lit up, and she wanted to rush over, but found that she was holding a spatula in her hand in a particularly unpleasant way, and it was too much effort to put down the spatula when she went back to the kitchen, tossing back and forth, and the two hit each other, It actually froze in place.

Muzhenxi looked at her dazed and cute face, strode over, walked around the spatula in her hand, and hugged her tightly.

"Why did you come back suddenly?" Xiao Jin froze for a moment, then hugged her back in surprise and joy.

"I'll be back after missing you." Muzhenxi whispered.

"You are so nasty." Xiao Jin pretended to be disgusted.

"You don't like my numbness?" Muzhenxi's eyes filled with mist, and he blinked away quickly.

Xiao Jin twisted in her arms twice, uncomfortable but said frankly: "I like it."

Muzhenxi said that she used to talk too little, so now she tells her every day.

"I'm going to cook." Xiao Jin patted Muzhenxi's shoulder lightly. Although she was reluctant to leave Muzhenxi's warm embrace, she did not forget the noodles that were cooking on her stove.

Not only did Mu Zhenxi not let go, but he tightened his arms and buried his face in Xiao Jin's neck, as if trying to strangle her into her flesh and blood.

Xiao Jin felt the pain, and said sharply: "What's wrong?" Did something bad happen to Muzhenxi?

"...was scolded by the boss." Mu Zhenxi thought of a clumsy excuse and said sullenly.By the way, he rubbed against her neck like a big dog begging for comfort.

Xiao Jin instinctively felt that something was wrong, but she had never experienced Muzhenxi being scolded by her boss, so she could only believe it.

"It must be the boss's problem." Xiao Jin thoughtlessly defended Muzhenxi.

Muzhenxi laughed softly, let go of her arms, and said, "I have my own problems." She went straight to the kitchen, "What's for dinner?"

After seeing the crude dried noodles on the stove, one eyebrow raised in disbelief: "You just eat this?"

Xiao Jin shrugged.

"Anyway, you're not at home, just eat something."

Mu Zhenxi picked up the chopsticks at the side and scooped them up in the pot. Under the lingering delay of the two of them, the dried noodles had completely stopped working and turned into batter.Muzhenxi poured out the noodles in the pot and cooked a pot again, this time for two people.

Xiao Jin stretched her head to see: "Did we eat too ordinary?" Clear soup and plain water.

Wooden Sleeper Creek said, "Then you go and get two eggs."

Xiao Jin: "Decree."

He hurriedly found two eggs from the refrigerator and came over with a few plants of green vegetables. He spontaneously turned on the faucet to wash the vegetables. He moved swiftly. After the eggs were processed by Muzhenxi, he threw the vegetables into the boiling water. wandering around.

Xiao Jin suddenly met Mu Zhenxi's gaze and frowned: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yes, during the 10 minutes in the kitchen, Sleeper Creek watched her for nine and a half minutes.Even though Xiao Jin likes Muzhenxi and puts her mind on her all the time, it doesn't mean that she can enjoy such a long stare safely.

Especially Muzhenxi's strange eyes made her feel inexplicable.

Muzhenxi said, "Can't you see it?"

Xiao Jin said: "It is possible, but..."

Muzhenxi rolled his eyelids and said lightly, "But what?"

Xiao Jin was startled, and said, "It's nothing."

That weird feeling became more and more obvious. Mu Zhenxi's momentum was two points stronger than before, showing an unprecedented aggressiveness?Or is it... initiative?

Xiao Jin, who couldn't define her, was silently thinking.

Muzhenxi turned off the fire and said, "Come here."

Xiao Jin walked over obediently, and only when she was in front of her did she remember, isn't this the tone she often used to Muzhenxi before?What's going on today?Role reversal?

Muzhenxi supported the back of her head with one hand, and turned her head slightly to one side.

Xiao Jin consciously closed her eyes.

Taking advantage of her height, Muzhenxi lowered her eyes, and the scar on Xiao Jin's forehead was completely exposed in her sight.She had never imagined before that there was actually another scar hidden behind this scar.

Her eyes moved down, from the beautiful eyebrows, the straight nose, and finally Xiao Jin's slightly opened red lips, as if sending out a silent invitation.

In the end Muzhenxi just kissed Xiao Jin's forehead, very lightly and slowly, with his lips pressed against it, and did not move for a long time.

Xiao Jin opened her eyes, and after Muzhenxi left, she looked up.

Muzhenxi had already staggered her gaze and said, "It's time to eat."

Xiao Jin blinked her eyes suspiciously, then frowned slightly.

Wooden Sleeper Creek has something to hide from her.

This feeling is kind of bad.

Xiao Jin thought that she didn't know about Muzhenxi River, but she still felt a little bored.

She doesn't like to eat egg yolks, including eggs cooked in boiling water. The chopsticks pick up a layer of egg whites wrapped in egg yolks, take them out, and put them in Muzhenxi's bowl, and Muzhenxi gives her the egg whites in his own bowl.

A dinner was a bit dull.Because Muzhenxi was busy with work, the two of them rarely had dinner together except on Sundays.Xiao Jin was relaxed and joyful as expected, and there was no eye contact, only the occasional clinking of chopsticks against the rim of the bowl, and subtle chewing.

"I'm going to wash the dishes." Muzhenxi said the first and last sentence of the meal.

"Wait." Xiao Jin called to stop her.

"What's wrong?" Muzhenxi's tone towards her was as gentle as ever.

"I..." Xiao Jin didn't know why, her flexible brain froze, stuttered, stood up from the table, and said, "Together with you."

"Okay." Muzhenxi laughed.

The smile is also very familiar, but Xiao Jin always feels empty in her heart, making her want to grab something.

The two of them were washing the dishes together, and the wooden pillow was washing. Xiao Jin hugged her from behind, scratched her waist with his hand, and touched her fair and well-proportioned forearm. In short, it was just adding confusion.

Fortunately, there is no itchy flesh on the waist of the wooden pillow, otherwise she would have been laughing so hard and flustered after being scratched by her.

Naughty fingers pressed onto her shoulders, and the smooth fingertips crawled slowly, reaching her neck. Mu Zhenxi couldn't help shrinking her neck, and said amusedly, "You mean to be with me?"

"Yeah, you wash it, I'll watch, I'll just stay here with you, isn't that what you said?"

"That's what I said ten, no, 11 years ago."

"Does what you said before don't count now? I didn't expect you to be a person who contradicted what you promised." Xiao Jin said forcefully.

"Analyze." Muzhenxi suddenly turned his head and looked into her eyes fixedly, as if he wanted to look into her heart all the time.

Xiao Jin was taken aback.

The two looked at each other silently.

Muzhenxi said: "I will always be with you in this life, until death separates us."

Her expression was solemn, it was a confession and an oath.

Xiao Jin's heart trembled violently, her fingernails pinched her palm at the first moment, she suppressed the slight trembling that swept from her heart to her whole body, and raised a pretended relaxed smile: "Why did you say this suddenly, you are too numb today."

Muzhenxi didn't smile, and said, "I love you."

A look of astonishment appeared on Xiao Jin's face, and her fingertips trembled slightly: "You..."

This is the first time since the reunion, except for the time when Xiao Jin asked Mu Zhenxi to resolve the misunderstanding, Mu Zhenxi said clearly that he loved her so clearly.Great joy rushed into Xiao Jin's mind, before she could taste the sweetness, it was replaced by worry and panic.

"Have you been stimulated by something?" Xiao Jin asked nervously.

Muzhenxi said: "No. It's just more determined than before."

Xiao Jin asked, "Why?"

Muzhenxi wanted to hug her, but his hands were covered with water, so he pecked her lips the next best thing, and said with a smile, "I don't know why."

Xiao Jin said, "You don't understand."

Muzhenxi blinked his eyes: "Yes, I love you so much for no reason." It's not like the usual Muzhenxi at all, but a little Xiao Jin style.

Xiao Jin's heart was about to jump out, and she quickly covered it with her hands.

Is this still her face-to-face blushing wood?

Xiao Jin glanced up and down suspiciously at her, and then touched her ear. The soft little hands kept making troubles on her face. Muzhenxi looked at the ceiling and said helplessly, "Have you touched enough?"

Xiao Jin shouted abruptly: "Say! Where did you come from? You actually took over my old...girlfriend's body!"

Mu Zhenxi curled her lips for the half-protruded "old" character, raised her eyebrows slightly and said: "I am an eminent monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty."

Xiao Jin picked up the play, ahhh, and said: "Okay, you, so it's Tang Sanzang. I heard that eating your meat will make you immortal. If there is a way to heaven, you don't go, and if there is no way to hell, you break in."

Muzhenxi said, "I didn't intend to leave at all."

Xiao Jin frowned: "Your play is wrong."

Muzhenxi put the bowl back in its place, dried his hands, and led him out of the kitchen: "This play is over, next time we will change to another one. How about Monkey King beating the Bone Demon three times?"

Xiao Jin said happily, "Childishness is dead."

Muzhenxi let out a noncommittal "huh", pulled her to the sofa and hugged her, resting his chin on her shoulder: "Are you busy tonight?"

Muzhenxi usually works overtime, and Xiao Jin is nestled in the study. Sometimes she is really busy, and sometimes she is idle and has nothing to do.

If there was any hot air blowing into the ear, Xiao Jin lowered his head and took Muzhenxi's hand, played with her fingers, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, we can move it to tomorrow."

"Yeah." Muzhenxi let her hold his hand, and closed his eyes quietly, as if falling asleep.

Xiao Jin, who accidentally thought astray, drove herself back to the right path. She hadn't seen her "parents", and Mu Zhenxi would definitely not do anything to her, probably because she was in a bad mood and wanted to hug her.

Xiao Jin softly called Muzhenxi's name.

"Huh?" Muzhenxi still closed his eyes, so he was not asleep.

"You're weird today."

"Have it?"

"Have."

"How am I surprised?" Mu Zhenxi slightly opened his lips, grabbed a piece of tender meat from the back of Xiao Jin's neck, and gently ground his teeth.

Xiao Jin: "!!!"

Now that's weird!

Xiao Jin was so excited that she almost rolled out of her arms.

Is Sleeper Creek crazy? !

Xiao Jin's reaction successfully made Muzhenxi laugh, and she buried her face in her neck and let out a muffled laugh.

Xiao Jin became angry from embarrassment: "Are you sick?"

Muzhenxi said: "Yes, lovesickness, it's already beyond the clear."

"You, you, you——" Xiao Jin, who was always eloquent, ran out of words.

"What about me?" Wooden pillow Xiweng said in a low voice, and then licked the small piece of skin that she had tossed, the tip of her tongue was soft and moist, very rascally.

Xiao Jin is going crazy.

Either Muzhenxi took the wrong medicine today, or she hasn't woken up yet.

Xiao Jin closed her eyes forcefully, then opened them.

The Wooden Sleeper Creek in front of me is still the same Wooden Sleeper Creek.

"Ahhh!"

Mu Zhenxi pulled Xiao Jin who got up hastily, and Xiao Jin fell back into her arms again. She had to cover her neck with one hand, fearing that Mu Zhenxi would do something to her again.Just do it, what kind of skill is it if you can't flirt?

Muzhenxi didn't play any more pranks on her, and smiled happily a few times, then hugged her quietly.

Xiao Jin blinked once, then blinked again.

As soon as Mu Zhenxi guessed, she knew that her clever little brain started to work quickly again.Why are you so smart in this life, you kept it from her for so many years, angry, so Mu Zhenxi knocked on her head gently.

Xiao Jin's eyes widened.

Dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, is Muzhenxi now a coward?

As soon as Muzhenxi received her angry eyes, he lowered his head spontaneously and received a blow that was harder than his own.

"Do you still dare?" Xiao Jin glared angrily.

"Don't dare, old...Girlfriend spare me." Mu Zhenxi returned Xiao Jin's address to her as it was.

She squinted her eyes slightly, and her mind was wandering. Is there any auspicious day that is suitable for marriage proposal recently?

Xiao Jin naturally didn't miss the half-spoken title, and the corners of her lips curled up.

When she was in high school, Muzhenxi once gave her a ring.The class organized an outing, the main force walked in front, Xiao Jin and Mu Zhenxi walked behind, the two of them were inseparable from Meng, and Meng was inseparable, everyone took it for granted.It's just that Xiao Jin is so popular, she is the focus of attention everywhere, and Mu Zhenxi, who is with her, is often teased.At that time, the same-sex atmosphere was not as open and "popular" as it is now, and they were always reserved outside—although most of the time it was because Mu Zhenxi was too shy to let Xiao Jin mess around outside.

Most of the students in the class think that they are best friends who have a good relationship. There are many female friends who call each other "wife". Many students directly ask Xiao Jin, "Where is your wife?" Not daring to answer, a suspicious blush appeared on his cheeks.

They were still being teased during the outing. When Xiao Jin and other classmates couldn't see them or hear them talking, they deliberately put their arms around her waist, pressed Muzhenxi's ear to tease her, and called "wife" one after another. Muzhenxi's ears were red, and he couldn't hide.Xiao Jin became addicted to playing, and was unwilling to let go. Suddenly, Mosquito moaned in Muzhenxi, "No way."

Xiao Jin was stunned: "What's wrong?"

With a blushing face, Muzhenxi said softly, "Don't shout."

Xiao Jin: "..."

Mu Zhenxi glanced at her, quickly lowered her head, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice, "No title."

Xiao Jin recalled this, and suddenly felt inexplicably familiar.Isn't this exactly the same as Muzhenxi said a while ago that she couldn't go to her because she wanted to give her a title after seeing her grandma? !

The corner of Xiao Jin's mouth twitched, Mu Zhenxi was really obsessed with his name.

At that time, Xiao Jin fell silent after listening to Muzhenxi's words, and stopped yelling. She began to think about the issue of status. Should she wait until the two of them go abroad to get married before they can yell?Then get the year of the monkey.

As a result, that afternoon, Muzhenxi took her to a place where no one was around, asked her to close her eyes mysteriously, and put something in Xiao Jin's hand. It was so light that she could hardly feel the weight in her palm. .

"Okay, you can open it."

"What?" Xiao Jin smiled and opened her eyes.

She saw what was in her palm, and was suddenly stunned.

It was a green ring, and Xiao Jin didn't realize it was woven out of grass for a moment, because it was so delicate, and in the center of the ring was set flowers like a diamond ring, I don't know how she wove it in.

"This is..." Xiao Jin bit her lip, restraining her strong urge to hold her in her arms.

"Name, status." Muzhenxi said nervously with his hands hanging by his side, "I've thought about it, it will take a long time to get married, first, I will give you this first, if you really want to shout, also..."

Xiao Jin interrupted her with crooked smiles: "Are you proposing to me?"

Muzhenxi stood up straight: "Huh?" She didn't seem to mean that, and she seemed to mean that, Muzhenxi's dull head was a little confused.

"Huh?" Xiao Jin tilted her head, squinted her eyes, pretending to show a trace of dissatisfaction.

"Yes." Under Xiao Jin's inducing gaze, Muzhenxi knelt down on one knee like on TV, blushing almost to the point of smoking, and stumbled, "You you you you..."

Xiao Jin couldn't stand her, handed the ring and hand to her, and said with a smile, "I am willing."

Mu Zhenxi felt relieved, and slowly pushed the ring to the root of Xiao Jin's ring finger.

Xiao Jin lifted up the ring on her ring finger, and she was in high spirits: "The two of us are like this, is it considered a private life?"

Mu Zhenxi proposed marriage in a daze, but he was still half kneeling on the ground, he raised his head in a daze when he heard the words, his fair little face was full of bewilderment.

Xiao Jin sighed: "It's really a piece of wood."

As he spoke, he also lowered his head and sealed Muzhenxi's lips.

Surrounded by a field of golden rapeseed flowers, which grow very tall, the two squatted down and hid in the sea of ​​flowers to kiss quietly, their long hair tangled and entwined by the wind.

Xiao Jin looked down at her now empty fingers, her eyes darkened.

It's a pity that the commemorative ring, together with the things that Muzhenxi gave her and left in Lincheng's house, were all burned by her parents.

Muzhenxi looked at the almanac with his mobile phone on, and it seems that "nacai", "engagement" and "marriage" can propose marriage?Or should I discuss it with Yin Xiaoli?Fascinated by the thought, Xiao Jin poked his arm suddenly.

Muzhenxi calmly pretended to be looking at the calendar, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jin opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

If she told Mu Zhenxi to make another one for herself, would she be misunderstood and imply a marriage proposal?
