Listening to the sea

16

Shen Bei didn't dare to look back, he knew who was behind him, he was very close to him, Shen Bei's back was almost touching his chest, and he could even feel his heartbeat clearly, Shen Bei clenched his fist hard, stiff Did not move in place.

"What? Don't you like the gift?" Mo Zixi asked, seeming to get closer.

Shen Bei took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Stay away from me."

They were standing at the door of the private room, their position was relatively hidden, but they did not rule out being seen by others. With their current posture, it was very inappropriate to be seen by others.

Mo Zixi didn't bother, and obediently took a small step back. Shen Bei immediately jumped out of his side, more than one meter away from him.

"Why are you here?" Shen Bei asked.Mo Zixi was still carrying a suitcase in his hand, it seemed that he came directly from the airport.

"Guess." Mo Zixi laughed.

I do not guess you guess guess!Shen Bei glanced at him silently, took the tray and went to the front desk, he was still working and had no time to pester this person.

Mo Zixi quietly sat down on the seat before Han Chenyi, and looked at Shen Bei with his chin resting. Shen Bei turned around and took a look, then turned his head away. This man is sick!

When Shen Bei shuttled among the diners at each table to deliver food, his eyes would occasionally unconsciously glance at the person sitting in the private room. The curtains in the private room to isolate the outside world were not drawn, and Mo Zixi was leaning on the sofa , playing with the phone quietly, with a leisurely attitude.For a moment, Shen Bei suddenly felt that if this person was waiting by his side every day in the future, it would actually be pretty good.It's just that as soon as this thought came up, my hand was scalded by the hot coffee, and I naturally woke up at the second of pain, leaving only a long sigh from the bottom of my heart.

Before the lunch time, the manager walked out of the office and stopped Shen Bei who was delivering food, "Xiao Shen, you leave the matter in hand to Xiao Wang, you go to eat first."

"Ah?" Shen Bei asked suspiciously, "But it's not time for me to eat yet."

"It's okay, you go first." The manager wiped the thin sweat on his forehead with his hands, and secretly glanced at the direction of Mo Zixi.

This move did not escape Shen Bei's eyes, and he didn't say any more. He put the tray in front of Xiao Wang, nodded slightly to the manager, and went directly to the table where Mo Zixi was. The waiter brought two lunches. After sitting down, Shen Bei looked at Mo Zixi and asked, "Actually, you helped me find this job, right?"

"Huh?" Mo Zixi didn't seem to understand what he said.

"Every time you or Han Chenyi come to the store, the manager always treats you with respect. If he didn't take orders from you, he wouldn't be like this."

Mo Zixi cut the beef on the plate with a knife and fork, and didn't pay much attention to his words, "I've been busy all morning, aren't you tired? Let's eat first."

Shen Bei glanced down at the food on the table and twitched his eyes, "...this is a couple's set menu."

"Really?" Mo Zixi also expressed his surprise, "I ordered whatever I wanted, so let's make do with it."

Guess I believe it or not!Shen Bei rolled his eyes in his heart, and unceremoniously picked up the knife and fork to chop the steak into eight pieces as Mo Zixi, when the plate in front of him was suddenly removed, and then replaced with a plate that had been cut into small pieces steak.

Shen Bei's heart moved, but he still stubbornly snatched back his plate, and said awkwardly, "I have hands, I can cut it myself."

Mo Zixi smiled, and no longer persisted. Shen Bei now had much more emotions in front of him than before, and he no longer isolated him from the world with a polite smile like before.

Just thinking of some things that Shen Bei deliberately concealed from him, he began to worry about it again.Just thinking about how to ask him about Shen's mother, a box was placed in front of him.Simple white paper box, the size of a palm, without any decoration, simple and elegant.

"What is this?" Mo Zixi didn't open it immediately.

"Before I went to sea, I saw some beautiful shells. I picked up a few and gave them to you. I can't always accept your gifts."

Mo Zixi was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face.He casually picked up the box and opened it, and there was a milky white shell lying quietly inside. The shell was half the size of a palm, with a strange shape and unique patterns. At first glance, it looked like a beautiful woman's open skirt, very beautiful.Mo Zixi brushed his finger along the pattern of the shell, raised his eyebrows, "For me?"

Shen Bei didn't answer, Mo Zixi smiled, closed the box, rubbed Shen Bei's head with his hand, and said with a smile, "Thank you, I'll order you another cake as a gift in return."

"No need, I'm full." Shen Bei said with his head down.

The part of the top of the head that was touched had a fever, and even the earlobes turned red.He finished the food in front of him in two or three bites, stood up wiping his mouth and said, "I'm going to work." After speaking, he walked into the bar area in a panic.

Mo Zixi tapped his finger on the box, and the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, knowing that he took the initiative to give a gift, which is a good sign.

In the evening, the four of them had dinner together. Han Chenyi wanted to send Yujia home, but Shen Bei refused, but Han Chenyi insisted on sending her off. In the end, Mo Zixi dragged her away with the back of his clothes. Shen Bei heaved a sigh of relief. Let Han Chenyi know where he lives by the sea, but he still has to go there every day.

"Yu Jia, stay away from Han Chenyi from now on." On the way back, Shen Bei couldn't help telling Yu Jia.

"Why? I think Brother Han Chenyi is a nice person. He took me to the movies and bought me popcorn. Brother Xiao Bei, it turns out that the popcorn in the movie theater is really delicious."

"Don't forget, you are a fish, you should not get too close to humans, humans are very dangerous, have you forgotten what Granny Wen said?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten, Brother Bei, you always say to me, you yourself are not very close to humans. Not only did you go to a human school to attend classes, but you also made friends with humans. You are so close to another brother tonight, isn't it true? Isn't it dangerous?" Yu Jia retorted articulately.

Shen Bei paused, and his cycling speed also slowed down, subconsciously denying, "Whoever gets close to him, don't talk nonsense."

"I saw him pick up food for you, and I saw him smile at you, and you peeked at him!"

Shen Bei was rendered speechless, and wanted to say something to refute, but he had nothing to say.Because what Yujia said was the truth, there was no way to refute it.He was restless, and he pedaled his bicycle quickly towards home, the evening wind whistling past his ears, carrying the breath of snowflakes and eager thoughts.

Because the Mermaids don't have the habit of celebrating the New Year, Shen Bei stayed at Granny Wen's house to celebrate the New Year.On the first day of the new year, Mo Zixi asked Shen Bei to visit Shen's mother, but Shen Bei refused on the excuse that he must go to Shen's mother's house, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he wanted to avoid Mo Zixi, so He came to the door on the second day of the Lunar New Year with a gift.

But he froze the moment he saw the person on the sofa after entering the door.

Mo Zixi was sitting on the sofa, drinking fruit juice, watching the replay of the Spring Festival Gala on TV.He didn't seem surprised by Shen Bei's arrival at all, he greeted him with a smile and called him to watch TV.

Shen Bei walked over anxiously and sat down on the sofa, thinking about how to explain to Mo Zixi.However, Mo Zixi didn't seem to care at all, and didn't ask any questions.The two watched TV in relative silence for a while, and Shen's mother called them to eat.

At the dinner table, Shen's mother added a bowl of rice to Shen Bei, and asked him kindly: "Xiao Bei, come to Auntie's so early, have all the other relatives in your family left?"

Shen Bei smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have any relatives in my family."

"Godmother, you and Shen Bei hit it off very well." Mo Zixi said from the side.

Shen Bei's heart trembled, he lowered his head to eat without answering, Shen's mother smiled and said: "Isn't that right, this child is good-looking and well-behaved, he is likable."

"Then how about this, you can also recognize him as a godson, so you will have two sons."

Shen Bei shook his chopsticks, and the food he caught fell on the table. Mo Zixi gave him a meaningful look, then turned to Shen's mother who was still in a state of hesitation and continued, "How about it, godmother, anyway, you are so like him."

"It... depends on what Xiaobei wants. His family will not agree." Shen's mother really likes Shen Bei. She always feels that she can see Shen Pei's shadow in this child. Both are surnamed Shen, and the pronunciation of their names is similar, which aroused her yearning for her deceased son even more.

"Shen Bei, what do you think?" Mo Zixi asked Shen Bei.

Shen Bei subconsciously squeezed the chopsticks in his hand, swallowed the braised pork that had long been tasteless in his mouth, and said to Shen's mother nervously: "If... If Auntie thinks it's good, that's fine. I don't have parents. An orphan."

Mo Zixi's proposal surprised him very much. He originally wanted to get in touch with Shen's mother more so as to take care of her life, but he was both looking forward to and afraid of calling her "Mom" again. The proposal of recognizing her as a godmother would scare her and arouse Mo Zixi's suspicion, so he didn't say anything for a long time, but today Mo Zixi took the initiative to propose it, which surprised and delighted him.

When Shen's mother heard about his life experience, her face was sad, and she said sadly: "Poor child, I'm alone at such a young age..." As she spoke, she thought of Shen Pei, and she became even more sad, with tears in her eyes, she said, " As long as you don't dislike me as an old lady, you can call me godmother from now on."

When she cried, it made Shen Bei's nose sore, he forced himself not to shed tears, but called out with a trembling voice: "Godmother."

"Alas! Alas!" Shen's mother hurriedly agreed, wiping away her tears while picking up vegetables for Shen Bei.

Mo Zixi watched from the side, with a faint smile on his face, he saw Shen Bei's series of small actions just now, and he was even more certain that there was some kind of connection between him and his godmother, and this connection, His godmother didn't know, but Shen Bei did.
