Du Shao was slightly taken aback.

Realizing something, he swallowed what he wanted to ask, and the topic returned to the beginning: "What happened tonight... I will send someone to protect you."

"No need." Mu Shihuan refused.

Du Shao frowned.

"Mu Shihuan..."

Mu Shihuan shook his head, and said into his gaze: "There is no need for protection, the police are enough."

Du Shao is so smart.

"I understand," he nodded, his mood becoming more and more complicated, "Don't worry, since you have called the police, we will investigate clearly."

Just call the police, no deliberate protection is required.

That's what Mu Shihuan meant. Seeing what Du Shao said, she nodded in response: "Thank you."

Looking up at where she came from, she asked, "Can I go?"

He made it clear that he didn't want to mention anything related to Li Jingyan.

Du Shao sighed in his heart, but there was really no reason to stop her: "The driver should have almost finished his questioning, so he can leave."

"Well, thank you." After saying this, Mu Shihuan didn't stay any longer, and walked away.

Du Shao couldn't stay, so he could only watch her leave.

He knew very well that although she mentioned Lao Li in one word, the meaning was very clear. She didn't want to tell Lao Li what happened tonight through his mouth. After all, she and Lao Li had "no relationship".

It's just that Du Shao couldn't do it.

After personally seeing her off, he called Lao Li.

When Li Jingyan received the call, the sun had not yet risen on the other side of the ocean, but it was no different to him, but it was another sleepless night, and he had been running on the treadmill for a long time.

"What's the matter?" He stopped running, wiped off his sweat casually, and asked through the connection.

Du Shao was silent for a moment when he heard his voice.

"Old Li," he took a deep breath, "Mu Shihuan had an accident. He came to the police station to call the police half an hour ago. On the way home, he was deliberately hit by a car."

Li Jingyan paused slightly while holding the towel.

"Well," he said in a low voice with downcast eyes, "I know."

Very calm, as if without any emotional ups and downs.

When Du Shao heard it, he found it incredible.

"Old Li!" He thought he heard it wrong, "I mean Mu Shihuan..."

Before the words fell, he reacted.

"Did you report to you in the first year of high school?" He asked.

Li Jingyan hummed, threw the towel aside, opened the refrigerator with one hand, took a bottle of ice water from it and drank a lot.

Silence spread again, only the sound of his throat rolling when he drank water.

Du Shao had a headache.

For a long time, he sighed helplessly: "What the hell are you doing? Since you know she's in danger, you won't let senior one and senior two show up, and you won't come back yourself, you..."

After a pause, as if he had realized something, he asked with a particularly complicated mood: "Could it be that you have not returned to China for so long to avoid Mu Shihuan?"

The more he thought about it, the more possible he felt.

"No." Li Jingyan denied.

But Du Shao didn't believe it, and asked instead: "Is there anything in the branch over there that requires you to stay there for a long time? Li's side doesn't care? Don't you worry that Lin Jingshu will do something while you are away?"

"It's just a business trip, it's a common occurrence." Li Jingyan's tone was very light throughout the whole process, not in a hurry.

Du Shao... Choked.

"Then Mu Shihuan, what exactly are your plans?" After holding back for a while, he choked out this sentence, "Don't say that you are divorced, you let go, if you can really let go, you won't be Li Jingyan."

With fingertips gliding across the body of the bottle, Li Jingyan said: "Whatever she wants, you just cooperate."

Don't mention the problem with Mu Shihuan, just this sentence.

Du Shao was so angry that he couldn't help sneering: "I think I can give you an award for being a good ex-husband, so you don't worry about Mu Shihuan?"

This time, Li Jingyan didn't speak again.

Du Shao naturally understood his temper, and when he saw this, besides being angry, he sighed helplessly.

"Okay, don't worry, I know what to do."

Li Jingyan's eyes darkened: "Yes."

There is no more chat, the call is over.

Li Jingyan placed his mobile phone on the bar casually, and he continued to drink water, as if he didn't feel the coolness at all.

He is very calm.

But, it's just the surface.

The words spoken on the phone in the first year of high school are still clear in my mind, especially in my ears.

How could he not be worried?
How is it possible... not to miss her?

I want to call her, I want to hear her voice, I want to go back to her regardless, I want to...

Li Jingyan suddenly closed her eyes.

It's a pity, no matter how much you think about it, you can't.

Blatant worry will only make things out of control.

"Buzzing—"

The phone on the bar suddenly vibrated again.

Li Jingyan opened his eyes and found that it was Li Yan who was calling.

Thin lips pursed slightly, he frowned and connected: "What's wrong?"

After a while.

"Okay, I will find someone to look into the matter of the key, and I won't let others know, don't worry," he agreed, and finally couldn't help but say, "Please, take care of her."

The last sentence is obviously different from the usual indifference, and the voice is very deep.

How could Li Yan fail to understand what he meant?
Impulsively wanted to say something, but she knew that she had no position. In the end, she just said: "I always feel that Shi Huan's knot needs you to untie."

The conversation between the two ended briefly.

Li Jingyan still stood where he was, without moving for a long time, until Mo Yuan came in, and he whispered: "Book a ticket to return home early in the morning the day after tomorrow."

……

After leaving the police station, the driver took Mu Shihuan to the nearest hospital for examination.

In fact, nothing happened, but Mu Shihuan's arm hurt a little, and her current physical condition was not good at all, so she went to the hospital and got some medicine.

Afterwards, the driver took her back to the apartment.

Before getting off the car, Mu Shihuan instructed: "Don't tell grandpa what happened tonight, I don't want him to worry."

The driver hesitated to speak, and finally nodded: "Miss, don't worry."

But Mu Shihuan knew that the driver would not listen to her, so she didn't take it seriously.

Holding the medicine prescribed by the hospital, Mu Shihuan walked slowly into the apartment and pressed the elevator.

When the elevator stopped, she lifted her foot and stepped in, showing no expression the whole time.

until……

Seeing Xiao Xingxing and Yu Qiao at the door of the house, Yu Qiao is holding Xiao Xingxing in one hand and carrying luggage in the other.

Mu Shihuan was stunned.

Little Xingxing was a little sleepy waiting, but when she heard the sound from the elevator, her sleepiness disappeared. She suddenly raised her head, and saw Mu Shihuan with a big smile on her face.

She immediately broke free from Yu Qiao's hand, and happily ran towards Mo Shihuan with her calves.

Holding Mu Shihuan's legs with both hands, she raised her face and smiled.

Mo Shihuan regained his senses.

"Why did little Xingxing come over suddenly?" She squatted down and looked at him, and asked gently, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Yu Qiao came over.

Little Xingxing immediately turned her head and reached out to Qiao Yu.

Yu Qiao handed her a piece of paper.

Little Xingxing opened it happily and showed it to Mo Shihuan.

Those were written by herself, Mo Shihuan recognized——

"Sister Shi Huan, Little Xingxing misses you, so I came to see you, and Little Xingxing will accompany you during the New Year."

Little Xingxing's big eyes were filled with an increasingly obvious smile.

Yu Qiao explained at this time: "Ms. Mu, the young lady misses you very much. She is depressed. Mr. Yu has not returned from a business trip, so she agreed to let the young lady come over. It is the young lady who said that she will not tell you for the time being, and wants to give you a surprise."

After a pause, she continued, "But Mr. Yu also said, if it's inconvenient for you, it's okay."

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Yu Linshang's phone call came.

Mu Shihuan clearly saw Little Xingxing making a pitiful expression towards him, as if to say, she should not leave.

Mo Shi's heart softened and he connected.

Yu Linshang seemed to be very busy, so he told about Little Xingxing, hoping that she could help take care of her for two days.

Out of the corner of his eye, Little Xingxing was still looking at him expectantly.

Mu Shihuan couldn't refuse at all, not to mention she didn't intend to refuse, she agreed.

"The little Xingxing will stay with me to celebrate the New Year." Putting away the phone, she said to the little Xingxing with a smile.

Little Xingxing's eyes lit up, and she threw herself into Mo Shihuan's arms without even thinking about it.

Mu Shihuan was unprepared, squatting again, her body swayed violently, and almost fell backwards, but she reflexively supported the ground with her hands, what a coincidence, unconsciously, she was hurting and hurting the hand.

Her brows were immediately wrinkled.

Yu Qiao saw it at a glance, and asked quickly: "Miss Mu, what's the matter with you? Are you all right?"

Hearing this, Little Xingxing got up from Mu Shihuan's arms in a daze, seeing her expression, she felt a little uneasy at the moment.

Mu Shihuan was afraid of scaring her.

"It's okay, little Xingxing, don't worry." She coaxed softly, then raised her head and said to Joe, "It's okay."

Yu Qiao opened her mouth, and Mo Shihuan shook her head calmly.

"Shall we go into the room first?" Looking at Little Xingxing again, Mu Shihuan gently pinched her face, "Hold your hand, huh?"

After all, he was very young, and Mo Shihuan behaved normally again, Little Xingxing did not doubt that he was there, and his face beamed again.

She nodded heavily.

Mo Shi laughed happily, stood up, took Xiao Xingxing's hand and led her into the room.

Yu Qiao followed behind.

The heating in the apartment is very good, and it is warm as soon as you enter it. Yu Qiao took off the down jacket outside for Little Xingxing.

After taking off his coat, Little Xingxing was suddenly as light as a swallow, looking around the apartment with a pair of round eyes, and couldn't hide his happy mood.

When Mu Shihuan saw this, the corners of his lips curled up involuntarily. He first turned on the TV to find out the anime, then squatted in front of Little Xingxing and asked, "Has Little Xingxing eaten?"

Little Xingxing shook his head embarrassingly.

Mo Shi laughed happily, and his voice became more gentle: "Then... let's eat some noodles, shall we?"

Little Xingxing laughed and nodded.

"Okay, then wait for me."

Little Xingxing nodded again.

Mo Shihuan patted her head, got up and said to Qiao: "Sit whatever you want, you stay with Little Xingxing, and I'll serve noodles soon."

Naturally, it was impossible for Yu Qiao to sit still.

"Miss Mu, I'll help you." She insisted.

Mu Shihuan glanced at her, but did not refuse in the end. After all, she also had something to "talk" to Yu Qiao, to be precise, she wanted Yu Linshang to "know".

However, before she and Yu Qiao entered the kitchen, Little Xingxing suddenly took her hand.

Mu Shihuan lowered his head, and saw Little Xingxing took out the paper and pen he carried with him, and wrote a sentence in front of her——

"Let Dad protect you, okay?"
