Silent Confession

Xin Yi understood, he knew that in this world some people like men and some people like women, he only cared about liking Zhou Muhui, but forgot to consider whether Zhou Muhui would like him.

"But, but..."

Xin Yi was speechless, stuttered and seemed to have lost her voice in the end, she just looked at him blankly, Zhou Muhui's face was very ugly, especially under the reflection of the neon lights, Xin Yi was even a little scared .

After a long time, Zhou Mu went back, but Xin Yi didn't move for a long time.He didn't know how to answer the questions left by Zhou Muhui. Xin Yi had done so many questions, but only now did he realize that this was the most difficult one.

Xin Yi didn't eat when he came home, and even finished his homework mechanically. At the end of writing, he couldn't help crying. Big tears fell down, and he quickly wiped them away. When he was sleeping, he hid Crying in the quilt, the broken love of a young man is more important than the sky falling, not to mention that he has been in love for two months and has never held hands once.

When Xin Shao came in, Xin Yi's crying could not be hidden in time, he was thrown off the blanket like when he was a child, his mother sighed, patted him on the back, and asked him what's wrong.

Xin Yi frantically wiped away her tears, but in the end she couldn't hold back, and leaned on Xin Shao's shoulder and said that he was broken in love.

"He said he was busy... he didn't have time to play with me."

"But I'm not playing."

Xin Yi hadn't cried like this for many years, Xin Shao was distressed and puzzled.

"Is she older than you?"

Xin Yi paused for wiping her tears, only to realize that she had slipped her mouth.

"He, he is very busy studying..."

Xin Yi faltered to explain, Xin Shao was stunned for a moment, then wiped his tears, and said cautiously, "Xiao Yi, mom is not preventing you from falling in love, but you are in the third year of high school after all, and studying is also important, you know mom mean?"

Xin Yi sniffled, choked with sobs and lowered her head, "I studied hard, and I got No.10 last time..."

Xin Shao sighed, touched the bruises under his eyes, and asked softly, "What time did you sleep recently?"

Xin Yi secretly looked at him, and after a while, she whispered, "...two o'clock."

Because he was going to find Zhou Muhui, but he couldn't miss his homework, so he had to work harder than usual, but he was really not smart, and he couldn't learn the best no matter what.

Xin Shao didn't speak, just rubbed his head, Xin Yi looked at him anxiously, even forgot to wipe away the tears.

"Then have you been looking for her lately?"

Xin Yi didn't dare to lie, she whispered, "Yes."

"like very much?"

Xin Yi froze for a moment, then nodded vigorously, "I like it!"

"...Then try again." Xin Shao said, "She said you were playing, then you have to be more sincere and show her that you are serious."

"But if she doesn't like it, you can't go to her every night."

Xin Yi raised her head in confusion, not understanding why.

"You will scare her." Xin Shao looked at him tenderly and sighed, "Xiaoyi, we can't hurt others just because we like it, she will be scared too."

Xin Yi understood and nodded seriously.

"it is good."

"Then, what if he still doesn't like me?"

After all, Zhou Mu replied...he didn't like men, and Xin Yi felt wronged to death. This was beyond his control, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Xin Shao wiped away his tears and coaxed him, "Then change it, we don't lack people to like."

Xin Yi went to find Zhou Muhui half a month later. He was very scared when he went, afraid that Zhou Muhui would change jobs, and also afraid that Zhou Muhui would ignore him, but when he really saw Zhou Muhui, He couldn't even speak, his eyes seemed to have taken root, and he only knew to look at each other helplessly.

"..."

Zhou Muhui also saw him, but he didn't turn around and leave like before. Xin Yi twisted his hands behind his back nervously, until he quietly counted one hundred in his heart, then he walked over nervously and called him in a low voice, "Zhou Mu back..."

He was a little uneasy, because Zhou Muhui hadn't said a word, Xin Yi pursed his lips, and remembered what Xin Shao said that Zhou Muhui would be afraid, so he quickly took two steps back.

"Can I talk...?"

After a while, Xin Yi asked in a low voice.

"…Um."

When Zhou Mu returned to him this time, Xin Yi's eyes lit up, and she smiled at him with her head raised.

He was a little nervous and a little scared, but he still mustered up the courage to speak.

"I've thought about what you said last time. Is it because I'm too young that you think I'm not serious?"

"But I'm really not playing." Xin Yi said, "I like you very seriously."

"As for sexual orientation..." Xin Yi pursed her lips helplessly, and asked in a low voice, "Zhou Muhui, do you feel sick when you see me?"

Zhou Mu looked down at him and asked suddenly, "Isn't it a week?"

"……what?"

Xin Yi raised her head in doubt, but was slow to react, and hurriedly explained, "I, I'm afraid you don't like it, you will be busy."

He looked at Zhou Muhui at a loss, but Zhou Muhui frowned and turned his back.

"Zhou Mu back!"

Xin Yi stopped in front of him.

Xin Yi's heart was beating non-stop, he couldn't figure out why Zhou Muhui asked him like this, maybe he was too stupid, but Xin Yi really wanted to know the answer.

"what do you mean?"

"…nothing."

Zhou Mu replied, "Get out of the way, I'm going to be busy."

Xin Yi refused to give in, tears were about to come out, "You are lying, you are already off work!"

He specially picked this time to come, because he was afraid of disturbing Zhou Mu's return.

Zhou Mu paused and called him, "Xin Yi."

This was the second time Zhou Muhui called him so seriously, Xin Yi responded with a cry, but still tightly stopped in front of him, and even reached out to him.

"Come back Zhou Mu, am I sick?"

Xin Yi grabbed Zhou Muhui's hand and looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Are you going to get rid of me?"

"If you hate...if you hate me..." Xin Yi looked up at him, choked up and said, "Then I won't come to you, I don't want to make you unhappy..."

Zhou Muhui's wrist was very wet, he thought it was the sweat from Xin Yi's palm, he was inexplicably silent at this moment, because he couldn't say anything that hated Xin Yi.

He finds Xin Yi annoying because he doesn't know how to deal with someone like Xin Yi, and neither sneering nor ignoring him seem to suit him.Such a child, chattering around people all day long, quietly waiting aside while he was working, finding a place to do his homework by himself, was happier than him when he got off work, greeted him with cheers, and walked towards him laugh.

He didn't care about Zhou Muhui's past, nor was he afraid of Zhou Muhui's facial injuries. When Zhou Muhui frightened him several times, he shook his head with trembling hands and told him that he was not afraid.

Zhou Muhui really couldn't say he hated such kindness.

"If you don't say it, it won't be..."

Xin Yi took a sneak step forward, quickly wiped away the tears that were about to fall, and smiled at him, "I asked you, you can't go back on your word."

"..."

Zhou Muhui simply continued the silence to the end and ignored him.

"My test results came out, not falling behind, but not improving either."

Zhou Mu went back to catch up on the next job, so he followed Zhou Mu back with his schoolbag on his back, stepping on his shadow and muttering, "The final exam is going to be next month, and I will go back half an hour earlier than usual. Mu Hui, do you think I will improve this time?"

They were walking in the alleyway, the dim street lights printed his shadow on the wall, Zhou Muhui glanced quietly, saw him bouncing around behind, but didn't return him.

He can't indulge himself, just like just now, he should push Xin Yi's hand away.

How could he compromise like this, and he didn't like this kid.

"Are you still in the bar over there? I'll see you in later and I'm leaving. I've made an agreement with my mother. I still have a lesson to recite tonight."

Zhou Mu looked back and took off the mask on his face.

"You, why don't you wear a mask again?"

Xin Yi didn't seem to be afraid of him anymore, she sneaked up to him and asked strangely.

"they need."

Zhou Mu replied.

Zhou Mu opened his mouth back, but Xin Yi stopped talking. He seemed to realize the reason and stopped the topic abruptly.

"Afraid?"

Zhou Muhui stopped suddenly, turned around and asked him.

Xin Yi froze for a moment, then shook her head.

"Not afraid."

"Why?" Zhou Mu lowered his head and looked at him earnestly. He was half a head taller than Xin Yi, but it might be because the child hadn't fully developed yet. He was too young. Looking back, Zhou Mu might only be sixteen or seventeen years old.

He knows what it means to like and what it means to love.

It's just the whim of a kid.

Xin Yi blinked, and carefully took his hand.

"Your eyes are beautiful..." Xin Yi lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of disturbing him, "Zhou Muhui, if one day you tell me why, then I will tell you too."

It's the reason for jumping away from liking and love. Xin Yi is not afraid of Zhou Muhui, no matter how fierce Zhou Muhui is.

Zhou Mu didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at him quietly, as if in deep thought.

"Zhou Muhui, can I come to you tomorrow?"

Their destination was approaching, Xin Yi quietly let go of him, hid the hand that had just held Zhou Mu's wrist behind her back, and smiled at him with her head up.

Xin Yi's mother said that liking someone shouldn't make it difficult for him, but if Xin Yi had asked the other person's opinion first, then he should be able to come and see Zhou Muhui.

"…what ever."

Zhou Mu turned her back and walked to the bar not far away.

Xin Yi cheered and jumped up with her schoolbag on her back.

"Then I'm leaving, see you tomorrow!"

Zhou Muhui didn't stop walking, and didn't even reply to him, but Xin Yi seemed very happy, even though he was far away, he could hear him shouting excitedly, calling his name.

"Zhou Mu back! I'm fine!"

he shouted loudly.

Zhou Mu paused the hand holding the handle of the back door.

"You are good too!"

The child behind him was still laughing, Zhou Mu looked down at his right hand, and pushed open the door.

Likes can confuse a person's eyes, take mistakes as right, and package ugliness into beauty. No one knows better than him whether Zhou Muhui is good or not.
