Silent Confession

Xin Yi didn't come as frequently as before, probably because of the exams, he always came in a hurry and then left in a hurry.

Zhou Muhui also asked him to leave later, but the child's eyes were red when he was told, and he looked at him pitifully with his hands behind his back, and asked, "Zhou Muhui, do you hate me?"

Zhou Muhui frowned, obviously he would leave if he just said that he hated children, but no matter how many times, he never really said that.

Xin Yi is very obedient, she will quietly follow him after every day, and secretly grab him before he is about to enter the bar, and ask him if he can come the next day.Sometimes Zhou Muhui said casually, sometimes he said he couldn't, but it was probably because his tone was too casual that Xinyi couldn't tell the difference, and they always confused them.

Then he appeared in front of him the next day when Zhou Muhui said he couldn't, looked at him anxiously and fearfully, and asked, "Zhou Muhui, do I want to go?"

When Zhou Mu replied that he would, he really left obediently, and then secretly appeared again after two or three days, asking if it was okay today.

It's just that he was really too scared. In the first ten days of January, his head was covered with sweat in a panic, and his hands were tightly clutching the schoolbag, and his knuckles were turning white.

Zhou Mu recalled that if he said no, Xin Yi might cry.

So he was silent for a while.

Xin Yi caught his silence, raised her head and begged him, "Come back Zhou Mu, I'll just stay for a while, okay?"

Zhou Muhui felt a little inexplicable, because he found that he couldn't say no to refuse, but fortunately, children are also stupid, they only cared about being happy, and didn't doubt his unusual answer.

Xin Yi was very busy, maybe it was Zhou Muhui's acquiescence that made him a little bolder, Zhou Muhui was working, so he found a table in the restaurant next door to do his homework, and when Zhou Muhui finished his work, he followed him chatteringly Behind him, walk with him to the bar.

A week before his exam, Xin Yi said that he couldn't come, the child pouted aggrievedly, and stood in front of him and muttered, "I have to study hard, I can't fail the exam this time."

He probably hoped that Zhou Muhui would say something to encourage him, but Zhou Muhui stared at him for a long time, and finally just nodded and said, "En."

Xin Yi put her hands behind her back and looked up at him.

It's winter, he wears a lot, the big down jacket wraps him carefully, Zhou Muhui is rarely seen in a daze, he thinks that children at this age are the most beautiful, why is he the only one who is wrapped up with the ball every day Same, but it's still so good...

His thoughts stopped abruptly in the next second, Zhou Mu frowned, and severely suppressed the inexplicable heartbeat just now.

"Then I'll come to you after the exam."

Xin Yi said, "Come back Zhou Mu, can I text you these few days?"

"No."

"…what?"

Zhou Mu's eyelids kept twitching, he didn't look at the child in front of him again, trying to make himself forget the strange thought just now.

"Ask for money."

Zhou Mu replied.

Xin Yi looked at him for a long time before saying aggrievedly, "Oh."

He was discouraged, lowered his head sadly, "Then I'm leaving."

He turned his head three times like a child, and Zhou Mu looked back at him for a while before realizing that he was wrong, but before he could turn around, Xin Yi ran back again.

"..."

"I've forgotten it all!"

Xin Yi smiled at him, her small snow-white face was as bright as jade, Zhou Muhui's fingertips trembled, and he felt his heart beating for the first time, but before he could do anything, Xin Yi held his hand.

"Don't take it away." Xin Yi jumped back twice, and waved at him, "Wait until I finish the exam!"

He ran very fast and disappeared in a short time. Zhou Mu turned his head back, looked at the soft knitted gloves on his hands, and blinked silently.

Too naive, like a child.

Zhou Mu thought back, he didn't even know how to use this when he was a teenager.

But after the door of the bar was pushed open, he didn't take off the gloves either.

Xinyi after the exam

It was very late, and Zhou Muhui didn't see him in the alley outside until the end of work. The child was running with sweat all over his face. Seeing him coming, he hurried over and called him, "Zhou Muhui!"

Before Zhou Muhui could speak, he looked at him hastily and said, "I, I'm late."

It was indeed a little late, usually at this time he was about to go home.

But Zhou Muhui just hummed and didn't ask why.

Xin felt that he was not talking, so he was a little panicked. He followed behind him and stuttered to explain to him, "I forgot my schoolbag, and I only found out when I walked here..."

I had to turn back again, and ended up wasting two hours going back and forth.

Zhou Mu looked back at the schoolbag he was carrying, paused, "No need to explain."

Xin Yi nodded hesitantly, but then she felt a little disappointed, even the usual twittering was no longer there.When Zhou Mu hurried back to the bar, he heard a sob behind him, he froze for a moment, and turned around.

The child was secretly wiping away tears, the corners of his eyes were extremely red, and there were still tears hanging on his thick eyelashes. He probably didn't expect Zhou Muhui to turn his head back, and kept this posture and stared at him blankly. Not very good, "Why are you crying?"

Xin Yi didn't dare to speak, but quickly wiped away the tears, his wet fingers were still holding tears, when Zhou Muhui saw it, his eyelids twitched violently.

"you…"

"I, I seem to have failed the exam."

The corner of his clothes was suddenly grabbed by someone, and Xin Yi looked up at him, desperately holding back tears, but her eyes became more and more red, and her voice gradually became weeping.

"Students and I have different answers, and many of us are different."

Xin Yi was about to cry sadly, clutching at the hem of his clothes, and at the end he couldn't help it, big tears fell down, no matter how hard he wiped them off.

He is really afraid, afraid that he will not do well in the exam, afraid that he will not study hard, he is already so stupid, if his grades are still poor, he will not be able to go to college.

And... and if it's particularly bad, he won't be able to come to Zhou Mu often.

He was crying with tears all over his face, and he couldn't see anything clearly. The man in front of him was silent for a long time without noticing it, until a big hand fell from his head.

The owner of that hand seemed to be struggling with words, Xin Yi stopped crying in a daze, and looked up at him, the man's beautiful brows were frowned, he couldn't understand through the eyes of the mist, but the other party opened his mouth in the next second , with a low voice, "No."

The man stroked Xin Yi's hair stiffly. Xin Yi didn't dare to speak or move, for fear of waking up such an abnormal Zhou Muhui. It wasn't until a long time later that he sneaked up on Zhou Muhui and leaned on him carefully. He nodded aggrievedly.

"Ok!"

Probably because of Zhou Muhui's confidence boost, when Xin Yi got the report card, he couldn't find Bei happily, and when he came to find Zhou Muhui, he couldn't stop excitedly, and he circled Zhou Muhui all night.Zhou Muhui didn't want to talk to him, and he didn't care, he just smirked and squatted next to Zhou Muhui to help him.

Zhou Muhui couldn't stop him, the child seemed to have taken a stimulant today, telling him to stop non-stop, especially when he went to the bar at night, if he was bold enough to hold his hand directly, Zhou Muhui was stunned for a moment, his eyes Looking directly at the back of his soft hand.

"..."

Xin Yi quickly let go of her hand and looked at him innocently.

"do not do that."

Zhou Mu replied.

Xin Yi blinked, nodded obediently, and then sneaked up on him a few minutes later.

"...Xinyi."

The child didn't let go, and raised his head to be good to him, "I'll just play for one minute."

Zhou Mu frowned, Xin Yi was not afraid, she pulled him for a full minute before releasing him contentedly.

"I'm leaving!" Xin Yi smiled, "I have to finish my homework these few days before I come to you."

He pursed his lips and smiled, "Zhou Muhui, you have to wait for me."

Zhou Mu looked back at him, put the hand he touched just behind his back, and replied indifferently, "Wait."

Xin Yi didn't believe it, Zhou Muhui was not the same as his appearance at all, Xin Yi was getting less and less afraid of him.

"Next time, take off the mask, okay?"

Xin Yi whispered, "I want to see it."

His demands became more and more, Zhou Muhui didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around and left.

"..."

Xin Yi pouted, "Then I'm going to send you a text message."

After he finished speaking, he ran back, not giving Zhou Muhui a chance to refuse, until the sound of footsteps behind him disappeared completely, Zhou Muhui took a step as if he had recovered. He was standing at the back door of the bar, and someone pushed the door out , saw him standing there blankly, and asked him, "Brother Zhou, what are you doing?"

Zhou Mu paused and said in a low voice, "No."

The hand hanging by the side crushed the fingertips, and then closed them carefully.
