Merit Book·Xinghai

Xi Yanxin grabbed the clothes on his chest and tried his best to endure the suffocating pain.

Again...here again...is that person?

The first time I had this feeling was when my father met the young man named Mu Zhe outside the door. When he was standing outside the door and talking, Xi Yan felt severe suffocation and pain in his heart, and later even caused her to go to the hospital again. Once sick.

Later, twice a day, morning and evening, she could feel the pain as if being strangled by countless ropes, but the pain was much milder than the first time, perhaps because the person just passed by not far away, No reason to be close.

But every time after the pain passes, her physical condition will get better. It is a very subtle change. If it is not for the long-term pain, she knows every part of her body well, and she will not be so clear. perceive this change.Little things add up, Xi Yanxin has not been sick for many days recently, and even has the strength to say a few more words to her parents every day.

Regarding the strange perception of that person and the changes in his condition, Xi Yanxin didn't tell his parents about it, but just kept it in his heart.She was looking forward to meeting that person, but she was also afraid from the bottom of her heart that the incomparably intense pain would inevitably occur when she had close contact, and she was also afraid that the person would not match the appearance she imagined.

Xi Zhenhai is a trustworthy person, he didn't tell anyone about Rong Yuan pretending to be Mu Zhe.But Xi Yan was extremely convinced that the person who had never masked her face was not the Mu Zhe she had known when she was a child.

--who is he?What is he trying to do?Why did he cause his illness to change?

I don't know why, although Xi Yanxin didn't say a word, she felt that she had full trust in that person who didn't even know his real name, subconsciously wanted to protect him, and didn't want others to know his specialness.Even the pain caused by him became a sweet communion in her heart.

——It seems that he stood downstairs for a long time today, is there something on his mind?Or too tired from work?Does he know of my existence?

Thinking of this, Xi Yanxin's face blushed quietly, and he completely ignored the news that the important person was assassinated that his father and mother were talking about.

Rong Yuan opened his fingers slightly, and the whirling force of the string was like tiny, invisible scalpels, passing through obstacles such as walls, wooden doors, windows, etc., cutting off the black threads wrapped around the girl's soul one by one.Because he is afraid of accidentally hurting that fragile soul, he must operate very carefully, just like hunting mice in a porcelain shop. If the mouse is not careful, it will cause irreparable damage to the exquisite porcelain.

The entangled black silk is like a cancerous tumor growing on the human body, allowing it to grow will only swallow the person completely, but it will also cause pain when cut off.The breaking of each black thread made that thin soul tremble slightly, and after ten seconds, it seemed that she had reached the limit she could bear.Rong Yuan withdrew his string force and sighed slightly.

According to the agreement between him and Todd, he will go to the upper deck in the near future to find a way to get in touch with Mapu and even Lika.Before leaving, he had to find a way to completely cure Xi Zhenhai's daughter's illness. Otherwise, when he left, Hei Si, who had lost control, suddenly counterattacked, and the girl's life might be taken away in an instant.

....................................

When Rong Yuan returned to the 22nd floor, the shopping mall also delivered the things he bought according to the agreed time.I saw an unmanned medium-sized suspended truck parked outside the corridor railing. A robot with long arms and long legs first confirmed Rong Yuan's identity, and then moved all the things on the truck into the room.

"Ah... Ah Zhe, what is this?" Mutel came out wrapped in a scarf and asked a little at a loss.

Rong Yuan gave her a comforting smile, took off his coat and put it on her body, and said: "Today, I accidentally helped a big man, and a bonus of [-] star coins was given. I think many things in the house are broken , so I bought new ones. I also bought some vegetables and fruits, so you don’t have to get up early to go to the vegetable market tomorrow.”

"Oh, oh." Mutel replied blankly. Seeing the robot carrying boxes home one after another, he couldn't help but say again and again: "It's too wasteful! It's too wasteful! If you have some money, spend it indiscriminately. These things, as an old woman like me, are a waste. Don’t buy them next time, save your money and marry a good girl.”

For a young man who happily bought a bunch of things and went home, he must want to be appreciated and praised by his family, or seeing the other person's happy smiling face can also make him feel satisfied.If you hear accusations and complaints such as "wasting money" and "not worth it", you may be angry.

But Rong Yuan knew that Mutel said this not because she was unhappy, not because she didn't like beautiful new clothes, fresh and delicious food, but because she was used to being poor, so she wanted to spend every penny on the most valuable The place of value—that is, on him.Her complaint is not a complaint, but love for her son.

Rong Yuan hugged her shoulders, the smile on his face became more gentle, and he said in a soft tone: "Okay, okay, I understand. Don't spend money randomly in the future, I will leave it to you to keep."

"Hey, that's right." Mutel said with satisfaction, and took Rong Yuan's hand to explain: "Mom doesn't want to control your spending money, but our family's conditions are limited, if you don't save more, in case What should I do if I can’t take it out when I need it urgently one day? You are working in the maintenance department now, with high salary and good benefits, and my son is so good-looking. There must be girls who like you. Poor, parents are worried about marrying their daughter, right? Mom has to make long-term plans for you..."

"Well, I know." Rong Yuan said softly, his eyes gleaming brightly from the light outside the window.

The little robot quickly moved everything in, installed everything that needed to be installed, and even helped to sort the garbage and take it away.

Mutel first sorted out all the ingredients and planned the dishes to be made tomorrow morning.Then he touched the newly bought tables and chairs, with indescribable love written all over his face.Sitting on the new sofa, she watched with a smile as the household robot cleaned the room very quickly, and cleaned all the corners of the room. Then she looked at her son who was sitting on the side eating, and she felt very satisfied.

Rongyuan's budget is not much, and the newly purchased robot has a relatively single function section, mainly cleaning and tidying, but even so, it makes Mutel a lot easier.Originally, the intelligence level of this robot was relatively low, and it only understood 90.00% of the master's commands[-], but after Rongyuan bought it, Alpha took over the robot's control system, so it appeared extraordinarily smart and obedient.

Watching the little robot tidy up the overcrowded closet and hang new clothes in it one by one, Mutel changed into new clothes with Rong Yuan's encouragement, and took photos in front of the mirror again and again, After struggling for a moment, he suddenly discussed with Rong Yuan in a low voice: "Azhe, why don't we return these clothes?"

Rong Yuan was stunned, and asked: "Don't you like it?"

"Uh... the color is too bright, and the style is too fashionable, it doesn't suit me." Mutel avoided his eyes, and said awkwardly as if he had made a mistake: "I'm quite old, and I still wear it Isn't it ridiculous to be so gorgeous? And it's so expensive... There's really no need to spend this money..."

Rong Yuan remained silent, he was thinking about the real reason why Mutel wanted to return the goods.

dislike?it's out of the question.In the past, a female friend of Rongyuan said that no matter how old a woman is, what she looks like, or what her personality is, there is no woman who does not love beauty.Mutel's reluctant expression, fingers caressing the corners of the clothes unconsciously, and eyes lingering on the new clothes all show how much she likes these clothes.

not suitable?This is not right either.These clothes were originally specially designed for women of Mutel's age, and with the adjustments in details, they couldn't be more suitable for her, and she looked like she was ten years younger in an instant.Wearing this outfit, Mutel's back straightened a bit, and he was obviously satisfied with himself in the mirror.

Is it because it is too expensive?But... aren't home robots more expensive?Doesn't she like that robot very much?

Rong Yuan frowned, a little confused.Although he has a wealth of experience, he has always stood at a very high angle, so he doesn't understand what ordinary people really think at this time.

But Mutel didn't make Rong Yuan confused for too long.She quickly changed back to the original clothes, folded the new clothes and put them back, carefully smoothed out an inconspicuous wrinkle on the top, and said to Rong Yuan: "You are so big, you still don't know how to figure it out. What's the use of wearing such bright clothes when you're old? You use the money you get back to buy yourself some good clothes, so that people won't look down on you when you go to work. Nowadays, people respect the clothes first and then the clothes. People, if you wear those old clothes all the time, people will look down on you if they don’t say anything about it.”

Rong Yuan finally understood what she was thinking, and felt both funny and sad at the same time.He held Mutel's hand, squatted in front of her and said, "You can keep these clothes and wear them. I bought them all, and I adjusted the size according to your size. If you return them, they won't sell well." Don't worry, I still have money in my hand, but I just forgot to buy clothes for myself. Tomorrow I will buy two nice clothes, okay? And you don't have to worry about the money. It has also been raised by two levels, and it will get better and better in the future. So, you don’t have to worry about these things in the future, eat what you need, wear what you need, and leave the rest to me.”

After hearing his words, Mutel looked at Rong Yuan blankly, and suddenly burst into tears.

"What's wrong?" Rong Yuan panicked and asked hastily.

"It's nothing..." Mutel wiped his tears with the corner of his clothes, choked up and sobbed: "I am... our Ah Zhe has finally grown up...sensible...I...I really..."

Rong Yuan froze for a moment, then smiled helplessly.
