Chapter 16
"Xiao Jin, come home with me."
This said naturally. Mu Zhenxi couldn't say what it felt. It was not heavy or relaxed, but another feeling that was between the two, which was similar to accepting one's fate.
Xiao Jin did not answer.
Her fingers were stiff, and she was in the palm of Muzilixi's palm. She was hesitant than Muzilixi.
She probably guessed something, and she was still in an unacceptable state. She couldn't imagine how Mu Zixi got through these years, and she couldn't imagine how she got through it.
She didn't want to deceive Muzhixi, but she had a intuition that if she didn't go to Muzhixi now, there would be nothing left.
This intuition was fulfilled soon after she moved into Muzhixi's house. Muzhixi planned to move out of Lincheng. If she hadn't been in a strait now, she would have nowhere to find her in a few days.
Of course this is a later story, so I will press here for the time being.
"Xiao Jin." Mu Zhenxi called out again when she saw that she was reluctant to respond.
"Yes." Xiao Jin agreed lightly.
"Live with me, I will take care of you until you recover your memory." Mu Zhenxi said this calmly.
At this time, Xiao Jin raised his eyes and looked into the deep clear eyes of the wooden pillow stream.
She couldn't see through the emotions in the other person's eyes, and she realized that she could no longer find the familiar affection from it. Mu Zixi...don't love her anymore?
Yet, it has been so long.
Xiao Jin took a light breath, pressed down the bitterness, held the other person's hand, and nodded gently: "Okay."
Mu Zixi clenched her cold fingertips, let go, and turned her eyes to the convenience store next to her and asked, "Are you cold?"
"There's a little bit." Xiao Jin told the truth. She didn't know what was going on. It was still midsummer, and it was 23 and 4 degrees in the middle of the night. She was still wearing trousers, but goose bumps on her arms came out layer by layer.
"Go inside." Muzheng Xi Chong raised his chin at the entrance of the convenience store.
Xiao Jin didn't move.
Mu Zixi thought for a moment and took the lead, Xiao Jin followed.
One by one, one after another, they entered the convenience store. Muzhenxi asked Xiao Jin to sit by the window seat and asked the waiter at the counter, "Is there any hot milk?"
"have."
"Please two drinks, thank you."
Mu Zixi skillfully pulled out the payment QR code from her app. The waiter dripped it at her phone and put down two glasses of milk in front of her. Mu Zixi turned around with the milk, just caught Xiao Jin's eyes that had not had time to take back.
"Drink some milk to warm up your body." Mu Zixi stood 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.
Mu Zixi thought about it and said, "Don't be so polite."
Xiao Jin is a smart person. Mu Zhenxi is not sure about her attitude these days. Did she notice something keenly? There should be some. The woman in front of her face was pale, and her lips, which were not dark, were even blood-colored. Occasionally, she looked at her with timid eyes, with caution and caution.
Xiao Jin looked up and smiled gratefully at her.
My smile was also very light, and it dissipated as soon as it formed, and I lowered my head.
Mu Zixi's heart seemed to be gently clenched by one hand, and then released, leaving a shallow mark, which was either painful or a little uncomfortable. She took a sip of milk, turned her head and looked out the window.
The two sat opposite each other silently and drank the milk one by one.
Mu Zixi paid attention to Xiao Jin's speed with his light, put down the cup at the same time as her, and took the initiative to speak: "We are going back to the hotel now? Is your bag in the hotel?"
Xiao Jin nodded.
Mu Zixi took out his cell phone from his pocket: "Do you remember which hotel it is?"
Xiao Jin reported a name.
Muzhixi entered the hotel name on the map. This is a chain hotel, but according to the conditions near Huang Jiao's home, there is only one answer left. Muzhixi clicked on navigation and showed that it took fifteen minutes to drive, and a hint of confusion could not help but feel a little confused.
"Why are you running so far in the middle of the night?" Mu Zhenxi asked.
"I was so nervous that I stayed in the hotel. I originally wanted to go out and walk around to get to know the environment, but accidentally went further and further away and got lost. I asked the passerby, but the person pointed it wrong," Xiao Jin replied naturally.
"Well." This confirms Mu Zhixi's previous speculation. Xiao Jin came out because he was afraid of being alone. Mu Zhixi's beautiful brows frowned slightly, and he felt guilty in his heart.
Xiao Jin stood up first, lowered his eyes, and said lightly without hearing any emotion: "Go back to the hotel."
Mu Zixi tilted his head, a hint of anxiety flashed across his eyebrows and eyes. He suddenly felt a little strange in his heart, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
She habitually followed Xiao Jin and walked out of the convenience store before she came to her senses. Why did Xiao Jin lead the way? Xiao Jin didn't know where her car was. She rushed forward a few steps, walked side by side with the other party, and pointed in another direction: "The car parked there and took about five minutes to walk."
"Um."
It was already three o'clock in the morning, and even the bustling city was silent. For a moment, it was so empty that only the sound of each other's footsteps could be heard.
The dim street lights cast long shadows.
Xiao Jin was two steps behind, pulled a little distance away, gestured in the air, slowly holding Mu Zixi's hand, and smiled on the corners of his lips.
"Xiao Jin." Mu Zhenxi suddenly turned around.
Xiao Jin was startled and hurriedly put his hands back into his pocket, and met her eyes blankly: "Ah?"
She had no time to hide her panic and secret joy, and was hit by Mu Zixi. Mu Zixi was stunned and forgot what she wanted to ask at the beginning. The woman under the street light had bright skin and bright eyes, long hair, and was vaguely stained by the warm light. Because of her smile, her eyes were even more gentle as water.
Mu Zixi took a second to move her gaze away from the other person's face, and said calmly: "We have to go to the supermarket tomorrow to buy you some daily necessities." She looked at the other person's clothes again, with slender neck, long and straight legs, and a slight movement of her throat, and said, "Buy some new clothes again."
"Okay." Xiao Jin replied.
Mu Zhenxi calmly turned her face back, exhaled gently, showing a look of annoyance.
What she was asking was obviously not this, what was it?
Xiao Jin waited for ten seconds, but Mu Zhenxi did not look back or notice the ground. She began to move again.
Holding the "hands" all the way, Mu Zhenxi obviously felt that Xiao Jin was in a happy mood when he got on the bus. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows seemed to be blown away by the spring breeze. He felt very strange, but he was not easy to ask.
"Hait your seat belt." Mu Zixi spoke lightly.
"I understand." The co-pilot replied softly.
Mu Zixi tilted her head, and Xiao Jin sat obediently. Her eyelashes were long and dense, and she drooped like crow feathers. Mu Zixi's eyes moved to the earlobes covered by her hair, which were white and soft, crystal clear and warm, and she looked like she wanted to touch her.
Mu Zhixi shook the steering wheel in his hand, looked forward, turned on the left turn signal and drove onto the road. At the same time, he sighed in his heart, wondering again whether his decision was a little impulsive.
Xiao Jin's heartbeat was a few beats faster. Mu Zhenxi looked at her eyes so obviously. Of course, Xiao Jin would not have noticed it. But what does Mu Zhenxi mean? Is she going to throw herself away again?
Xiao Jin pinched his hands together and arrived at the hotel door with fear.
Mu Zixi and she stood in the hotel lobby and asked her: "What floor?"
Xiao Jin took out a room card from her pocket and gave it to her.
Mu Zhenxi looked down at the room number on the room card and muttered casually: "Remember to bring a room card, why don't you remember to bring a wallet?"
Xiao Jin's face changed slightly.
Mu Zixi didn't pay attention and stepped forward and pressed the elevator.
When he arrived at the door of the room, Xiao Jin took the initiative to say, "I'll go in and get things, just wait here."
The wooden pillow nodded slightly.
In less than a minute, Xiao Jin came out. Her left hand was the bag she carried when she met Mu Zhixi on a blind date, and her right hand was carrying a bag of painkillers that Mu Zhixi bought for her this afternoon.
Mu Zixi's expression showed a hint of surprise: "It's gone?"
Xiao Jin said: "No more."
Mu Zhixi walked in two steps, and the room layout was untouched. It was obvious at a glance, and there was nothing. She lived alone in such a place, and no one paid for her. Her heart was grabbed again, and Mu Zhixi turned around and stared at her, with an obscure and unspeakable emotion in her eyes.
Xiao Jin tilted his head and smiled faintly: "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Mu Zixi looked at her, her throat slid up and down, and finally she just let out a breath of turbid air and said, "It's nothing, let's go to the front desk to check out."
Xiao Jin bent his eyebrows and eyes: "Okay."
Mu Zixi took two steps and suddenly stretched out a hand towards her, Xiao Jin was stunned.
The expression on Mu Zixi's face was not uncomfortable, nor did he pretend to be cold anymore. The lights in the corridor were reflected in her eyes, like clusters of stars, bright and gentle, saying, "Take me well, don't get lost."
Xiao Jin looked up at her with a steady look, and there was a heat in his eyes rushing up the ground.
But she didn't know why she got lost once.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Just as Mu Zhixi was about to withdraw her hand, Xiao Jin moved. The force she held up was greater than Mu Zhixi's imagination, and even made her feel a little hurt. Mu Zhixi frowned slightly, and the force of holding her hand immediately receded like a tide.
Xiao Jin's hands were still very cold, and even though the car and hotel were much warmer than outside, it didn't improve at all. Mu Zhenxi thought of her headache and began to secretly plan whether to give her a full body examination next time she went to the hospital for a review.
Absent-mindedly, I went to the front desk to check in and took the person home.
Mu Zixi went to the kitchen to cook ginger tea, hugged his arms, leaned against the marble countertop behind him, and was stunned at the boiling white breath in the pot.
The past few hours have been dreaming.
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 her head was kicked by a donkey. Mu Zhixi raised her hand and wanted to bounce her forehead. Xiao Jin's figure appeared at the kitchen door, holding the pillow on the sofa in her arms, and leaned in one head and asked, "Mu Zhixi, what are you doing?"
"I didn't do anything. I stayed outside all night and cooked some ginger tea for you to warm up, otherwise I would catch a cold tomorrow."
"oh."
Seeing that she didn't move, Mu Zhenxi raised her eyebrows in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Jin stood up straight, as if embarrassed, bit her lower lip gently, and plucked up the courage to look at her: "Where should I sleep tonight?"
