Silent Confession

Xin Yi was in a daze afterwards, no matter how naive Qi Fang was, he noticed something was wrong, he poked Xin Yi cautiously, and asked nervously, "Child, did I say the wrong thing again?"

Xin Yi's eyelashes trembled, "No..."

"I'll help you." He said in a daze, "Zhou Muhui is easy to talk to."

Qi Fang heaved a sigh of relief, sat next to him and petted the cat, "Separate people, anyway, I have never talked to us well."

There was no response for a long time, Qi Fang turned his head strangely, seeing him sitting there in a daze again, he felt a little flustered for a while, afraid that he really said something that shouldn't be said just now.

"Child, are you worried about Brother Zhou?"

Qi Fang guessed wildly, thinking that he felt distressed because of Zhou Muhui's drinking.

The more he thought about it, the more he was right, he hurriedly sat up straight and explained to Xin Yi.

"He drank a lot when he first joined the company. There was nothing he could do. He was still a rookie at that time, so he couldn't get ahead if he didn't work hard."

Xin Yi came out of her emotions, stared at him stupidly, and said for a long time, "He never said..."

At that time, he just felt that the man was very busy, had endless work to do, and came back very late. Xin Yi often fell asleep for a long time before he got home, and when Xin Yi woke up, he left early.

Sometimes even when I get busy, I won't be able to come back for several days.

Xin Yi pursed her lips and lowered her head sadly.

He felt that he was a little too much, as if he had never really cared about Zhou Muhui.

"I wouldn't say it in my place." Qi Fang comforted him, "Isn't it because you're worried, kid, it's like this when you enter society."

Opportunities are never given to someone for no reason.

"And you also know that he is special than others. He must work harder to get rid of the previous influence. There is no way."

The cat on the sofa got up and wobbled into Xin Yi's arms. Xin Yi's fingers were licked by it, and then bit it lightly. Xin Yi felt the pain, but didn't move.

"I know…"

He pursed his lips and whispered.

Most of the time, Xin Yi understands that this is necessary, Zhou Muhui just has to work harder and harder than others, this is a truth that everyone understands, but Xin Yi is still reluctant.

Where did he make up for those countless late nights when Zhou Mu didn't come back.Whether he is on the sofa in a cramped office or in an empty hospital, will he be in pain, and will he need Xin Yi, just like Xin Yi needs him.

But Xin Yi is too stupid, every day she only knows to obediently wait for him to come back, and listens carefully to every word he says, never thinking that there are other meanings behind it.

So those days when Zhou Muhui was very hard, Xin Yi didn't stay by his side.

"He's fine, he's special...special..."

Xin Yi hugged the cat tightly in her arms, and lowered her head deeply.

He didn't say any more, because self-blame and regret were about to overwhelm him, and the chaotic emotions in his heart gave way for him, but Xin Yi couldn't say a word.

"..."

"I shouldn't be talking!"

Qi Fang was annoyed and called him, "Don't be sad."

He made a wrong step, pulled Xin Yi by the corner of his clothes, stumbled and begged him, "Child, ancestor, please don't cry, or Brother Zhou will beat me to death."

"it's already over."

He blushed from holding back, and finally brought out the all-powerful golden sentence to comfort Xin Yi dryly.

The cat on Xin Yi's lap seemed to be aware of his loss, and it kept rubbing against his arms. Xin Yi sniffled in a place where no one could see, and helped Zhou Muhui shed a tear secretly.

"Oh."

He buried himself in the cat's arms, covered the tears on his face with its soft down, and looked up.

"I didn't cry, don't be afraid."

Xin Yi smiled at him, "I'm just feeling sad, it's nothing."

His hands hidden under Mao Mao's body were tightly curled up, short

It hurts a little when pinching her fingernails in her palm, but Xin Yi doesn't want to let herself go.

Qi Fang is also a bit careless, as long as the other party says nothing is wrong, he will feel that nothing is wrong.

"I'm going to run away because of what you've done." Qi relaxed, looked at him and said, "I don't want to be punished by Brother Zhou, and I'm still counting on him to help me in the future."

Their hands fell to the ground, they all sighed and bent over to get them.

"Here, here, do you want to sign your name?"

The hand is very long and there are many, Qi Fang held it and counted one by one, Xin Yi quietly hugged the cat, saw him asking himself, nodded again, and went back to the study to get the pen.

"There are so many, where did you get these?"

Xin Yi came out of the study, and told the truth, "I bought it from scalpers."

In order to sneak in and take a look at Zhou Muhui who might not even be able to see it.

"You are a passer-by fan, and you dare to treat me as a tool."

Qi Fang sighed again, took the pen from Xin Yi, with a sad face.

"You are chasing Brother Zhou, and chasing me by the way."

Before the signature was finished, Zhou Mu returned home first.

The sound of the combination lock was crisp, and Xin Yi raised her head in a daze, and before Qi Fang recovered, she quickly tugged on his sleeve.

"Don't tell him."

Xin Yi whispered, and quickly stood up straight again.

When Zhou Mu came back in, he seemed to be punished, standing motionless on the edge of the sofa, sitting on the sofa together holding a banner to sign, while the cat on the ground wobbled back to Zhou Mu, dragging him The bottom of his trousers pulled him towards Xin Yi.

Xin Yi put both hands behind her back, looking at him pitifully like a child who has done something wrong.

"…What's wrong?"

Zhou Mu frowned back, but first glanced at Qi Fang.

Qi Fang nodded his head to sign, unaware of the danger of getting closer.

"What's the matter, no..."

He looked up and swallowed sharply what was in his throat.

Zhou Muhui's eyes were too terrifying, as if he was going to freeze him to death.

Qi Fang quickly shrank back and looked at Xin Yi.

Xin Yi stood there properly, just like the one he saw when he first came out, except that he just said something stupid and made him sad...

But Xin Yi didn't cry, did she?

"…nothing much."

Qi Fang said tremblingly, not daring to admit that he did something wrong just now.

Xin Yi didn't know that Zhou Muhui would be so sensitive, he shook his head quickly, and went to hold Zhou Muhui's hand.

"No, I just woke up and I'm still a little confused."

Every time Xin Yi wakes up, it takes a while to wake up. Zhou Muhui knew his habit, the man frowned, but his eyes still did not leave Qi Fang, Qi Fang trembled, and hurriedly used his eyes to ask Xin Yi for help.

"You bought a lot."

Xin Yi received the signal, rubbed her eyes, and pretended to yawn again, hiding her sadness carefully, not daring to let Zhou Muhui find out again.

"Let's go get it together, I'm so hungry."

Xin Yi stood in front of Qi Fang and pushed Zhou Mu back into the kitchen.

He was afraid that Qi Fang would not be able to bear the confession, and he didn't want Zhou Muhui to know that he already knew those things.

Whether it's Zhou Mu going back to leave, or his concealment before.

Zhou Mu replied for a long time before humming, but his eyes seemed to have accidentally glanced at the things in Qi Fang's arms, and he pursed his lips expressionlessly.

Xin Yi doesn't know how to cook, so she can only help Zhou Muhui. After washing the dishes, he will be fine, even if Zhou Mu asks him to go out, he refuses.

"I'll accompany you."

He stood by the pool and said, "Qi Fang won't mind."

Although it's not good to leave Qi Fang alone in the living room, Xin Yi really doesn't want to leave.

So Zhou Muhui didn't say anything, just turned around and fed a piece of ribs to Xin Yi's mouth to satisfy his hunger.

"Still hungry?"

Zhou Mu wiped her hands clean and opened them on his lips.

Xin Yi shook her head vaguely, spat out the bones in her mouth, and said, "I'm too hungry."

He didn't eat much all day, and he had a fever. He basically drank porridge this week, so no matter how much he ate, he couldn't get enough.

Zhou Mu looked back with a smile in his eyes, knowing that he was complaining that he always gave him porridge a few days ago.

"I won't drink porridge today."

He coaxed Xin Yi, and even lowered his voice a lot.

Xin Yi stared at him intently, and nodded obediently, but when Zhou Mu returned to wash his hands, he deliberately made trouble and reached out to grab him.

"...Xinyi."

Zhou Mu returned helplessly, looking at the hand making trouble under the faucet.

"Zhou Mu back."

Xin Yi called him in a low voice, scratched his palm with her finger, pressed it against his palm silently, and closed her fingers together with his.

Zhou Mu hummed back and asked, "What?"

Their hands intertwined silently underwater, and Xin Yi's soft fingertips crossed on the back of Zhou Muhui's hands. In fact, he wanted to say a lot, and wanted to ask Zhou Muhui, do you really want to resign?Those nights when you said you had something to do and didn’t come back, is it true that you can’t come back, and what Qi Fang said...you entered this business because you had to pay off your debts, and you worked so hard because you wanted to make money...Is it true?

But that money... never needs to be paid back.

if…

If you really work for this, quit.

Could it be that earlier... you were already planning to divorce me...

Then when it's all over, throw me away.

Xin Yi maintained this posture without moving, and he didn't raise his head until Zhou Muhui called him again.

"No." He whispered, "It's just..."

"I think it's better to slow down."

Xin Yi leaned over and looked softly at Zhou Muhui.

If this counts as revealing, then I hope that you can stay with me until I have the courage to ask you, until I am ready to accept you to leave.

Zhou Muhui understood, he froze for a moment, looked at Xin Yi's wet eyes, and said in a low voice, "No."

"It's not good to be sick."

Xin Yi wasn't actually talking about being sick, but he didn't explain, or he already knew it wouldn't come true, so he looked at Zhou Muhui, smiled and nodded again.

"Well, I'm just talking."

He wanted to pull his hand out, but Zhou Muhui didn't let it go.

"Xiaoyi, I—"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Zhou Mu lowered his head.

Xin Yi's palm was stretched open by him, and the man's rough fingertips were rubbed against Xin Yi's palm bit by bit. Xin Yi didn't react until Zhou Mu swiped back to a certain point, and Xin Yi hissed, and his hands reflexively moved shrink back.

"..."

"do not move."

When Zhou Mu returned to his side, the air pressure suddenly dropped, Xin Yi was stunned, seeing him suddenly face down, turned and went out the door.

Qi Fang called him outside, but the man didn't seem to want to talk, he just hummed briefly twice, Xin Yi blinked slowly, looked at the blistered wound on his palm, and slowly turned off the faucet beside him.

The pinch was too deep just now, and he didn't even notice it.

"I can't eat the food..."

When Zhou Mu came back in, Xin Yi said softly.

The man didn't speak, but pressed his fingertips next to his wound to disinfect him.

"sorry."

Xin Yi bowed her head and admitted her mistake, "I didn't pay attention... hiss..."

The moment of treating the wound was painful, Xin Yi shook twice, but Zhou Muhui didn't stop, and quickly applied the medicine to him.

He didn't speak the whole time, Xin Yi was a little uneasy and asked him, "Are you angry?"

"Actually, it's not deep, and it's not very painful."

After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips tightly and lowered his head.

Xin Yi felt as if he had done something wrong again, obviously just now he hoped to spend more time with Zhou Muhui to make up for the time they missed.

Even Zhou Muhui might not need him anymore.

"No."

Zhou Mu returned quickly, but her face was still not very good-looking.

He was just angry that he hadn't noticed Xin Yi's hand injury for a long time.
