Night walk

Mo Zhao carried Qiao Yixiao upstairs and put him on the bed in the bedroom.He went to wet the towel with hot water, came to the bed and sat down, lowered his head and patiently wiped Qiao Yixiao's face.

Qiao Yixiao was lying on the bed in a daze, her tears had stopped, but she hadn't recovered yet.

It's been a long time since he cried like this, it gave him a headache.Tears are such a strange thing, many emotions attached to the body seem to flow with the tears.

After wiping her face clean, Qiao Yixiao's face was still flushed red, and her eyes were slightly swollen.

Mo Zhao went to fetch ice again, wrapped it in a towel, and whispered, "Be good, close your eyes."

Qiao Yixiao looked at him with his eyes open, but did not close them.

Mo Zhao stretched out his palm, forced his eyes closed, touched his eyes lightly with a cold towel, and asked him, "Is it ice?"

Qiao Yixiao didn't answer.

At this moment, Mo Zhao was not angry anymore. After applying for ten minutes, he removed the towel, and Qiao Yixiao opened his eyes again.

Mo Zhao sized it up and said, "It's much better." He put the towel aside, stretched out his hand to grab Qiao Yixiao's left hand, and asked him, "Does it hurt?"

Qiao Yixiao didn't speak.

"Why don't you talk?" Mo Zhao bent down and asked him.

Qiao Yixiao turned her head, not wanting to look at him.

Mo Zhao said helplessly, "The cat is not dead."

Qiao Yixiao turned her head again, her eyes fixed on him.

"I'm not dead." Mo Zhao repeated it over and over again, "I know you were bitten by a dog, and I'm worried, so I'm bound to be impatient. Let Xiaoxiao stop ignoring me, okay?"

This should be the first time Mo Zhao gave in to Qiao Yixiao.

Although he didn't know how sincere Mo Zhao was when he said this, Qiao Yixiao was really stunned.

Mo Zhao said again: "If you don't want them to follow you, why don't you tell me the truth?"

Only then did Qiao Yixiao speak: "You won't agree."

Mo Zhao was choked by Qiao Yixiao for the first time.Because it was, and he wouldn't agree.But how could Director Mo admit it? He reached out and rubbed Qiao Yixiao's brows, and said, "In Xiaoxiao's eyes, am I that unreasonable?"

Qiao Yixiao thought to himself, stop acting soon, do you have any favors?You don't even have feelings.

"What did you do when Xiao Zhe didn't follow you?"

Qiao Yixiao told the truth: "I went to work."

"why?"

"I want to buy something, but I don't have any money." Before Mo Zhao could speak, Qiao Yixiao said again, "I know what you're going to say, but those are your money. Don't you want to hear the truth? With you imprisoned by my side, I also want to make money and spend it myself, I am no worse than anyone else."

Mo Zhao was in a delicate mood, not only feeling a little uncomfortable because his uncompromising character was being provoked, but also faintly excited because of Qiao Yixiao's plain but proud words.He was right from the beginning, Qiao Yixiao was the kind of existence who would proudly stand up again after being trampled into the mud countless times.

In the past, Mo Zhao felt that raising such an interesting, pure boy who would always preserve his soul well.It is a very interesting thing to give him food, shelter and play, and let him learn the major he likes until one day, he becomes completely his own existence.

This concept has not changed from beginning to end.

Including the last time, Qiao Yixiao passed out alive.

But this time, after hearing Qiao Yixiao's plain words, he suddenly realized that there was another more interesting path.

He suddenly wanted to see what Qiao Yixiao would look like if he let Qiao Yixiao do it and work hard.

He also vaguely felt that Qiao Yixiao was enough to convince him and would not disappoint him.

only……

You can't let go so easily.

Although he is not a businessman, Mo Zhao also understands the significance of bargaining chips and negotiations.He didn't answer Qiao Yixiao's words, but just straightened his bangs again.

Qiao Yixiao has long been used to his intimate actions, and also used to Mo Zhao ignoring his words.

He didn't feel shocked, but he thought of Xiao Zhe again. He looked at Mo Zhao and said, "Mr. Xiao was dragged down by me."

Mo Zhao didn't speak.

"Can you stop firing him?" He thought for a while, and said honestly, "Although I don't like him, I might not be as good as him if I change someone else. And this time he has also learned a lesson, and he will never leave me in the future." around."

These words made Mo Zhao laugh, "You don't like him following you?"

"But you like it." Qiao Yixiao looked at him generously and said.

Mo Zhao's heart froze for a second or two, Qiao Yixiao had always been so clear.In fact, he is only 19 years old, but his state of mind has already surpassed that of his peers, and the reason for this is not because he has lived too hard these years?

Mo Zhao suddenly didn't want him to realize his so-called dreams.

For the rest of his life, as long as he lives happily, whether it is raising a cat or studying design, he can agree to it.But more bitter, more tiring, or do not do it.

As long as he lives happily and easily, that's fine, Mo Zhao thought.

Qiao Yixiao didn't know these thoughts of Mo Zhao, otherwise he would definitely want to vomit blood again, after all, he lost another chance of independence before his eyes.

Mo Zhao sat by the bed and said he wanted to coax him to sleep.

Qiao Yixiao managed to restrain the urge to roll his eyes, feeling that Mo Zhao was so insane that he was hopelessly insane, he strangled his cat half an hour ago, wishing he could kill it right away.Now she is very angry again, mouthing "baby" to the left and "obediently" to the right, as if she has never seen a man in half her life, she is tired of lying beside the bed, trying to coax him to sleep.

But this day was actually another day of war and chaos. Qiao Yixiao really fell asleep in a daze under Mo Zhao's slightly disgusting gentle voice.

Mo Zhao quietly walked out of the bedroom.

In the living room on the first floor, Aunt Dong was sitting and knitting a sweater. When she saw him coming downstairs, she immediately stood up.

"Where's the cat?" he asked.

"I was carried in by Miss Jin."

"Is it in the way?"

Although Auntie Dong didn't know exactly what happened, she could guess that the two of them had an argument before, and the cat was involved. When they came in, the cat litter was trembling on the table, and she was half-breathed. She said: " Miss Jin said it's okay."

Mo Zhao nodded, "Yes", and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao likes that cat so much, there's nothing I can do about it."

Aunt Dong glanced at his expression, and said after deliberation: "Last time, Yixiao's eyes lit up as soon as the cat was brought back."

"Then continue to take good care of it."

For some reason, Aunt Dong breathed a sigh of relief, and asked him again: "Have you eaten yet?"

"Just give me a bowl of noodles, and I will have it with Xiaoxiao at night."

"Okay." Aunt Dong put down her sweater and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Mo Zhao walked towards the study, he still had work.

Before dinner, Qiao Yixiao woke up and was about to rub her eyes when her cheeks touched the gauze, only then did she remember what happened today, it was really frustrating.He sat on the bed, thinking that according to Mo Zhao's style of handling things, he must have already left.

He put on his clothes and went downstairs. Seeing him coming down, Aunt Dong smiled and said, "Are you awake?"

He nodded and asked, "Where's Kui Kui?"

"Girl Jin carried her over." Aunt Dong glanced at him, and said, "Kui Kui is fine, don't worry."

Qiao Yixiao nodded again, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

Aunt Dong asked again: "Are you hungry?"

He said, "One thing, Auntie, what do you want to eat today?"

Aunt Dong joked: "No matter what you eat, you can't do without a cup of bone soup."

Qiao Yixiao's face immediately became bitter.

He sat on the sofa and waited for his meal.He secretly thought that his psychological quality has also slowly changed. Before, he had such a quarrel with Mo Zhao, and he needed to adjust his mood for a long time before he could regain his senses.Now, he seemed to be used to it, and when he woke up, he almost forgot what should be forgotten.

He saw the peeled chestnuts on the table, grabbed a handful and ate them slowly, thinking that today's chestnuts were pretty good.Then he got up and ran to the kitchen, and asked Aunt Dong: "Auntie, where did you buy the chestnuts? They are delicious."

Aunt Dong paused for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly and said, "Just buy it on the side of the road."

"Which way?"

"It's time to eat, Yixiao, go up and ask Mr. Mo to come down for dinner." Aunt Dong bypassed this question, how should she answer it?The chestnut was brought back by Mo Zhao again, but the two had been arguing before.Afterwards, Mo Zhao remembered that he went downstairs to get it in the car.

It was also Mo Zhao who took it to the study, peeled it off by himself, and sent it down.

"He hasn't left yet???" Sure enough, upon hearing that, Qiao Yixiao immediately forgot about Lizi.

Aunt Dong replied dumbfoundedly: "Mr. Mo is working in the study upstairs."

The whole house is just a study.

Qiao Yixiao curled her lips and finally went upstairs.

He walked to the door of the study, raised his hand and knocked on the door, knocking and said: "It's time to eat!"

Mo Zhao said inside, "Please come in."

Qiao Yixiao thought to himself, who the hell wants to go in!He unscrewed the doorknob directly, leaned against the door, looked at Mo Zhao who was sitting behind the table and looked at him, and said again: "Go down and eat."

Mo Zhao laughed and asked him, "Have you lost your anger?"

Qiao Yixiao felt that Mo Zhao was simply a neuropathy among psychopaths.The speed of this face change made him want to kneel down and salute.He knew that today, he was ashamed again and cried like a ghost.But as Mo Zhao said, everyone has seen what it looks like when you take off your clothes. Maybe the heart will never get close, but from another level, everyone is very familiar with it.

Now that he is so familiar, there is nothing for him to pretend to be, and there is nothing for him to be afraid of.

He turned around and wanted to leave, but Mo Zhao stood up, closed the computer and walked towards him.

Qiao Yixiao paused, and went downstairs with him one after the other.

Before Aunt Dong had finished cooking, Qiao Yixiao started eating chestnuts again. After eating a few, she looked up and saw Mo Zhao sitting across from her, looking at him all the time.

He thought for a while, grabbed a few chestnuts, spread out his palms, and asked Mo Zhao, "Do you want to eat?"

Mo Zhao shook his head, "Don't eat."

Qiao Yixiao thought that it would be better if he didn't eat, so he threw three of them into his mouth in a row.

Mo Zhao smiled and said, "Eat slowly, there are still a lot." He glanced at the coffee table, well, he peeled a lot before, and now there is only a small half of the plate of chestnuts left.It is a good thing to like to eat chestnuts, especially when Director Mo peels the chestnuts himself, it gives a great sense of accomplishment.However, eating too much is not good, so he said: "You can't eat too much either."

Qiao Yixiao lowered her head, too lazy to listen to him, but she didn't reach for the chestnuts after all.
