Xiao Zhang: "The one you were with you in the afternoon is the one you like, right?"

Mu Zixi's surprise only lasted for a moment in his eyes, and then lowered his eyes calmly.

Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, you are so obvious. If I can't see it anymore, wouldn't it be that I have lived for so many years in vain?"

Mu Zixi didn't say anything.

Xiao Zhang shrugged and stopped asking questions.

After a while, Mu Zixi couldn't help but look up at her, put down the knife and fork in her hand, Xiao Zhang picked up the wine glass next to her and took a sip, with a slight slap in the corner of his lips.

Xiao Zhang is two years older than Mu Zhixi. The relationship between the two is not far away, but not close, and it is even more similar to the friendship between gentlemen. Mu Zhixi returned to Lincheng a few years ago and found such a bookstore, so he often went to sit. Once, he saw Xiao Zhang sitting on the seat beside the glass wall.

A long, soft, black and bright hair poured down like a waterfall, spread vertically on her thin shoulders, and in front of her was a book called Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Life", but she was distracted from time to time and looked full of worries.

Mu Zhixi looked at the other person for a long time and did not have the intention to get close. Until one time, he saw her sitting, he suddenly raised his hand and wiped his eyes, and immediately turned his face outside.

Mu Zhenxi invited her to have a cup of coffee. The waiter was surprised when she ordered the order and said that it was delivered to. Later, after she chatted with Xiao Zhang, she found out that the other party was originally the owner of the book bar.

Xiao Zhang has not been in the school bar all the time, but a hand-off manager. According to Mu Zhenxi's observation of her daily life, she should have a good background and a wealthy family. She doesn't know what it is. She may not have a full-time job and occasionally fly abroad. She has never asked why the other party was crying, and Xiao Zhang has never asked her private questions on her own initiative. She will chat for a while when she encounters it on the weekend. If it happens, she will ask for dinner by the way, just like today.

It's been more than three years.

Mu Zixi looked at her and asked, "Where did you know that I like her?"

Xiao Zhang said "hmm" and raised his eyebrows and said, "When she was picking books on the bookshelf in the afternoon, you kept reading her, but you pretended to be nothing before she turned around. Also, you are very inefficient in reading books today. Didn't you notice it yourself?"

"The book I read today is quite difficult and I don't understand it very well, so I read it very slowly. Is there any problem?" Mu Zhenxi said hard.

"No problem." Xiao Zhang glanced at her.

"Is there any other manifestation?" Mu Zhenxi asked again.

Xiao Zhang frowned: "Don't you dislike others? Why do you ask about this?"

Muzhaixi: "…"

Xiao Zhang slowly cut the steak on his plate and said in a casual tone: "If you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it. Young people always like to worry about it."

Mu Zixi, who was only two years younger than her, said upset: "It's not a question of whether you like it or not."

"That's..." Xiao Zhang was very tempted.

"Nothing." Mu Zhenxi admitted that she was not as good as a friend to the other party, so she avoided talking, "Let's have dinner, go back early after eating."

"Oh." Xiao Zhang raised his eyebrows playfully.

Xiao Zhang drank wine, but Mu Zhenxi didn't drink it, so she took the other person home first, and then drove back to her own house. It was already ten o'clock in the evening when she arrived at the door of her house. Mu Zhenxi couldn't help but think: Fortunately, I bought Xiao Jin for dinner, otherwise I would have waited for her to come back to cook, but I still don't know when it would be delayed.

"You're back." The lights in the living room were on, and the TV that I had almost never used before were on. Xiao Jin crossed his legs on the sofa. Hearing the sound, he said hello to her with a smile.

"I'm back." Mu Zhenxi naturally responded to her, bringing the gentleness that she didn't even notice.

She was stunned at the door for a while, feeling that this situation was particularly similar to those ordinary families played on TV. Her husband worked overtime and returned late, and her wife waited at home to cook a bowl of hot noodle soup for her hungry husband.

Although she didn't have hot noodle soup and Mu Zhenxi was not hungry, she still felt a strange warmth, which almost made her nose sore.

Muzhixi's parents divorced when they were very young, and they both reorganized their new families. They thought she was a burden and refused to ask for it. Fierce quarrels broke out over her place. Xiaomuzhixi hid alone in the corner, with her big black eyes open, neither crying nor making a fuss, and looked at it buzzingly. Finally, the two hit it off and decided to give her to a family that wanted to adopt a child. Muzhixi's grandmother came to see the child. When Xiaomuzhixi saw her grandmother coming, she cried heartbrokenly with her grandmother's legs and was out of breath. When her grandmother asked, she was furious and scolded the two adults so much that she took Muzhixi away without hesitation, and pulled her up alone. Unfortunately, she couldn't wait until Muzhixi was filial to her and died.

Mu Zixi opened his eyes wide, took a light breath twice, walked over and put the things in his hand on the coffee table.

"Dinner was so early, were you hungry?"

"There's a little bit." Xiao Jin looked at the cake packaging box in front of her. No matter whether she was hungry or not, she would say she was hungry. She hooked the strap on the cake box with her fingers, raised her head and asked, "Don't you eat it?"

"I'm not hungry, I'll go back to my room first." Mu Zhenxi hurriedly left.

Xiao Jin was stunned. If she had read correctly just now, Mu Zixi's eyes seemed a little wet.

Her eyes followed Mu Zixi's back and found that the other party was entering the study rather than the bedroom. Xiao Jin's heart skipped a little, then stood up, thought about it, came back, took apart the cake box, cut it in half, took a portion in his hand, and walked over with his hands.

If she is discovered, she will have an explanation.

The study door was brought up, but it was not locked. Xiao Jin stood at the door, his ears pressed against the door and listened to the movement inside, without any sound. She held the door handle and pushed open a gap carefully, looking inside through it.

Mu Zixi stood in front of the desk with her back, supported her with one hand on the edge of the table, bent down slightly, pulled open a drawer under the desk, and took out something from it, it was square.

She sat down, held the thing in her hand, and pressed her forehead on her, but she didn't move for a long time.

After a long time, Xiao Jin was tired from standing outside and his heels were numb. Mu Zixi put the thing back as it was. This time she turned a little bit, and Xiao Jin saw clearly that it was a photo frame.

After Mu Zixi went out last night, she checked the study room and basically saw it, except for a locked drawer. Mu Zixi put the photo frame into this drawer.

Xiao Jin's pupils suddenly magnified slightly.

Wooden pillow stream tiptoed and placed the key on the top of the bookshelf.

Xiao Jin quietly retreated back to the living room.

After a while, Mu Zixi came out. Xiao Jin put down his crossed legs, and half of the cake on the table was left. When he saw her, he smiled and said, "I'll leave half of it for you."

Mu Zixi said, "I'm not hungry."

Xiao Jin heard that her tone was a little colder than when she first entered the door, and her heart was terrified. Could it be because she went to the study room? What was that photo frame?

Xiao Jin thought about it and said with a smile: "I can't eat it anymore. Can you help me put it in the refrigerator? I'll eat it tomorrow."

This time Mu Zixi responded, but she didn't say anything, just pursed her lips and silently put the cake back into the box. Her fingers were flexible, and even the ribbons were tied back, looking a little obsessive-compulsive.

Xiao Jin wanted to laugh a little, but the stone pressing on her heart made the corner of her mouth unable to bend.

After putting the cake, Mu Zixi turned around and said almost commandingly: "You will sleep on the bed tonight, and I will sleep on the sofa."

Xiao Jin was just thinking about what new way to stay on the sofa. Mu Zhenxi went back to her room and brought her a set of pajamas and handed her in front of her: "Go and take a shower."

Xiao Jin adopted a procrastination policy and said, "Can I wait a moment?"

Mu Zhenxi said, "No, I'm sleepy."

Xiao Jin said: "If you are sleepy, just wash it first."

Mu Zixi said: "No, you have occupied my sofa. I took a shower and had no place to sleep."

Xiao Jin: "..."

Mu Zixi said: "No."

Xiao Jin: "...I haven't spoken yet."

Mu Zixi was determined and said, "No matter what you plan to say, it won't work. Take a shower quickly."

Xiao Jin glanced downwards, took the pajamas in her hand, and passed by. Until she turned her back to Mu Zhixi, she dared to let her smile appear. Mu Zhixi said a lot of words to her, which should be considered to be caring about her. Although it was a bit obscure, she still heard it.

Xiao Jin took a few steps and came back, stood in front of Mu Zhenxi, and sighed.

Mu Zixi was puzzled: "Hmm?"

Xiao Jin held a suspender in both hands, shook her eyes, curled her lips and said, "Where is my underwear? You forgot to bring it to me again. Do you want me to be hollow?" She didn't mind, see if Mu Zixi dared it.

Mu Zixi didn't dare to turn around and went back to the room.

Xiao Jin called her and said, "It's on the balcony."

Muzhaixi: "???"

She went around the balcony and saw that the underwear she bought last night was washed and dried, hung on the clothespin, swaying in the wind. When she picked it yesterday, Mu Zixi didn't dare to look at it, but now she has seen it all, and I won't say anything that is normal. Some of them are... I can't imagine what it looks like when she wears it on Xiao Jin.

Mu Zixi pulled his hands and pulled the round neckline of the T-shirt that did not have any tie at all.

I don’t know when Xiao Jin deliberately walked behind her and coughed in her ear.

The wooden pillow stream immediately bounced a meter away, and the back hit the balcony door.

Xiao Jin pretended to be innocent and said, "What's wrong with you?"

She was shrouded in negative emotions tonight, but she forgot the test two days ago that Mu Zhenxi was interested in her.

Muzhixi: "No, nothing." She stood up straight, looking at the normal underwear on the clothespin, and those normal ones were not much better. Muzhixi couldn't help but feel distracted, cleared her throat and said, "What else did you ask me to take you on the balcony?"

Xiao Jin said: "I can't reach it."

"Then how did you hang it up?" Mu Zhenxi turned his head and looked at her suspiciously.

Xiao Jin said with confidence: "I'll move a stool and step on it to dry it."

Mu Zixi sighed and waved to her: "Come on."

Xiao Jin followed her over.

Mu Zixi pointed to the two hand rods on the wall, held them on it, demonstrated to her, and said, "This is a lifting and lowering adjustment. When you want to dry clothes and collect clothes, turn left and shake it down. After you have finished it, turn right and shake it up. Don't move a stool, if..." If you accidentally fall down again.

Mu Zixi's lips moved and swallowed the words behind him.

Xiao Jin took another step in, then shook it once, learned it, and said, "It's so amazing."

Mu Zixi was half a head taller than her, standing slightly outside her, looking at her hanging thick eyelashes, straight nose bridge, faint cherry pink lips, and her heart seemed to be crawling by with fine insects. She couldn't help but lower her head, and the tip of her nose was still some distance away from the other person's side face.

Xiao Jin suddenly turned his face, and then Mu Zhenxi felt something rubbing through his soft lips. It was smooth and warm. Mu Zhenxi held his breath and slapped his breath for a short slap in the floor drain.

Xiao Jin looked at her, and there seemed to be ten thousand things that could not be said in her eyes.

Mu Zixi stared at her, her lips opened: "I..."

Sorry, or, I didn't mean it, or, don't get me wrong?

She said nothing was right, but she couldn't say nothing.

Before her, Xiao Jin quickly raised his hand and wiped his face, wiped off the lip marks that did not exist at all, and said, "Sorry, I don't know you are so close."

Mu Zixi barely pulled the corner of her mouth and outlined a smile. This should be the result she wanted, but why was she so heavy and not feeling well at all?

Xiao Jin continued, "I want to ask what to do on the other side?"

This time she took two steps in a decent manner, Mu Zixi pulled down the joystick of the lift platform, put it on the other side, and did the same: "That's all."

Xiao Jin nodded and said, "Thank you."

Mu Zixi nodded: "You're welcome."

Xiao Jin lowered the clothespin rod, took off a pair of thongs in front of Mu Zixi, held it in his hand, and entered the bathroom, without forgetting to close the bathroom door.
