Silent Confession

Zhou Muhui never thought that he would see Xinyi's mobile phone here. The child's mobile phone is so easy to recognize, and the phone case on the back is written by himself. Zhou Muhui stayed with him for a year, how could it be Can't recognize it.

"Pick it up, pick it up!"

The person under his feet was screaming heart-piercingly, trying to move Zhou Muhui's foot that was stepping on him, but Zhou Muhui's tone was cold, and he asked him, "You picked it up?"

The other party nodded in horror. He had just been beaten up by Zhou Muhui, so he dared to lie again, "I really picked it up, I didn't lie to you!"

His spirit of drinking was so frightened that he disappeared, pointing to the side alley tremblingly begging him, "Brother, it's right there!"

Zhou Mu paused for a moment, and stomped even more fiercely. The people under him were terrified, crying and shouting, "I didn't lie to you! I didn't lie to you! A child lost it!"

Zhou Mu turned his head and glanced, but stopped for a moment.

The other party took advantage of the gap in his daze and slithered away, but Zhou Muhui stared blankly at the corner of his house beside him in a daze. After a long time, he squatted down slowly, and put the forgotten dog in a daze. Picked up the phone.

It's Xinyi's phone.

...lost it here.

Inexplicably, he thought of Xin Yi's dodging eyes when he gave him a new number, and...

The time that person said was the night when Xin Yi sent him back.

He should have heard something, Zhou Mu recalled.

On the night when Xin Yi sent him home, he followed him back. What did he say that day, so that the child did not come for a month? Zhou Mu walked back very slowly, and he was the only one in the dark and narrow alley The sound of footsteps, the place is very messy, and even the ground is just a road paved with gravel slabs. Zhou Muhui accidentally stepped on a branch, which may have been left by the heavy rain the day before yesterday.

The sound of a branch being trampled was crisp, but Zhou Muhui stopped silently and lowered his head as if he remembered something.

He remembered.

Just after the Qingming Festival that day, he sent the child to the car home, because he came back a little late, his mother waited for him outside the door for a while, Zhou Mu Hui went up to meet him, the other party told him about the family debt, and asked him Changed jobs, and finally asked him... that person tentatively.

Zhou Mu trembled inexplicably in his heart. He actually didn't care if others knew about it. After all, as long as he wanted to, even after six or seven years, the records on the Internet would still be there.

He never thought of deliberately concealing it, but Xin Yi...

Zhou Muhui clenched the phone silently, that's why Xin Yi looked at him so scared that day, Zhou Mu recalled, so...he knew all about it.

After the college entrance examination, Xin Yi became extremely clingy. He had no homework to do, and he no longer had to study hard all the time, so he came to find Zhou Muhui every day, and volunteered to accompany Zhou Muhui to work together.

But within two days, he was arrested by his father.

Feeling aggrieved, Xin Yi sent a message back to Zhou Mu, saying that she might not be able to come for a while, and that his family wanted to take him out to play, but Xin Yi couldn't refuse.

Zhou Mu replied quickly, Xin Yi looked at the single word "um" on the screen, curled her lips, and poked her phone to reply.

Xin Yi was originally scheduled to come back in July, but Zhou Muhui saw him in late June.

The child was a little tanned, not as small as before, standing pretty on the side of the road, waving at him, "Zhou Mu back!"

Zhou Mu paused, watching him rushing over in a hurry, his hands under the box in his arms trembled.

There was something wrong with Zhou Muhui, but Xin Yi never noticed it.

"Why don't you talk?" Xin Yi circled around him, looking at him strangely.

Zhou Muhui put the things down, turned his back to him, and whispered, "No."

Xin Yi couldn't see his face, so she rushed up to him again, looked at him and said, "Are you unhappy seeing me?"

Xin Yi couldn't tell what was wrong, but Zhou Muhui looked like he didn't really want to see him, so Xin Yi became anxious, squatting in front of him and approaching him, calling him in a low voice, "Zhou Muhui, what's wrong with you?"

It was fine before I left, why did it suddenly become like this.

Zhou Muhui was counting the goods on the ground, when he heard this, he raised his head and looked at him, "I'm not unhappy."

I just don't understand, since Xin Yi knew about it, why would she dare to pester him like this.

Xin Yi looked at him suspiciously, and after waiting for Zhou Mu to return, there was nothing wrong, so she was a little relieved.

"The grades will be checked the day after tomorrow." Xin Yi moved closer to him, tugged at the hem of his clothes, and muttered, "Zhou Mu will come back, I'm a little scared."

Zhou Mu didn't move, just said in this posture, "What are you afraid of?"

He couldn't say anything to comfort others. Fortunately, Xin Yi didn't want him to comfort herself, but just followed his words, "I'm afraid I won't do well in the exam. Zhou Mu will come back. You can check it with me. I slipped back specially." of."

He smiled back at Zhou Mu, and begged him obediently, "Can you please?"

Zhou Mu paused for a moment, avoiding his gaze.

"Ah."

Xin Yi's grades would come out at eight o'clock in the evening, and the child was restless all afternoon. Zhou Mu watched him circle around her back and forth, but for the first time he didn't let him move around.

"What to eat?"

Xin Yi was with him all day, and only had two casual bites at noon, so she lay sleepily on the table, watching him shake his head.

"I can not eat…"

He only showed a pair of eyes, looking at Zhou Muhui pitifully, "I'm nervous."

Zhou Mu looked back at him, "It's okay."

After he finished speaking, he went outside. The weather was too hot today, and no one came to the store. The proprietress entrusted the two of them to take care of the store and went out by herself. I'll be back, don't run around."

"Where are you going?"

Xin Yi quickly sat up.

"Buy food."

Xin Yi let out a groan, and fell back on the table in a discouraged manner.

Zhou Muhui didn't know what he wanted to eat, so he bought everything. The place he went to was a bit messy, and he was delayed when he came back, but before he got near the store, he saw a group of people in front of him. Mu Hui couldn't tell what he felt, but he paused reflexively, and stopped in his tracks.

Someone saw him not far away, and Zhou Muhui's eyelids twitched violently, seeing the other party panicked and shouting at him, "Xiao Zhou!! Come here!"

"Your brother was taken away by the police!"

Zhou Muhui has long passed the age of panic when things happen, but he still couldn't help shaking that day, the soup he bought fell to the ground, but Zhou Muhui didn't have time to take care of it, and walked quickly in the direction pointed by the neighbor Chased after.

It was actually very boring that day, the weather was 37 degrees, and people in the sun would feel dizzy, but Zhou Muhui could only hear his own violent heartbeat and trembling hands that never stopped. The urban area and the police station are not far away, but Zhou Muhui still feels that there is no end to it.

They said that Xin Yi had fought with someone, Zhou Mu thought back, how could it be possible?This kid is the most timid, a person whose eyes turn red when he is bumped or touched, and who trembles when he sees him, how dare he fight with others.

"It's true! Your brother is so fierce, we almost didn't dare to stop him when he caught someone and beat him on the ground!"

"He was half a head taller than him, and he rode under him and beat him to death. We didn't see clearly. The two of them quarreled while talking, and then they started fighting."

Zhou Muhui was called in at the gate of the police station.

"Come on, say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here."

The policeman pointed back at Zhou Mu, pointed at Xin Yi and said, "Is it your brother? Look, there must be a word of [-] words in the self-criticism."

Zhou Mu's back was drenched with sweat when he turned back, seeing Xin Yi with his back turned to him, straining his ears, he didn't turn around when he heard him coming, as if he had done something wrong.

"Whatever you want to read, you can also write to me!"

Huang Mao shrank his neck and nodded quickly, "Write! Write! Just write!"

The police opened the door and left, but Zhou Muhui paused, and turned to look at the person who spoke just now.

"Zhou, Brother Zhou..."

Huang Mao smiled back at Zhou Mu in fear, Zhou Mu didn't move for a long time after replying, just looked at him in silence, he thought the other party's voice was familiar just now, and now he met someone, only to realize that he really knew him.

It was his previous "colleague" at the car wash.

"Zhou Mu back..."

Xin Yi called him in a low voice behind him, Zhou Mu looked back, but in the next second his heart skipped a beat.

The corners of Xin Yi's mouth were still blue, and the knees under the shorts were also torn. Zhou Mu glanced over and saw that there were no less than seven or eight obvious wounds on his body, some of which hadn't stopped bleeding. Zhou Mu was stunned for a moment.

"The police asked to find a guardian...I dare not..."

The child smiled carefully and took his hand.

"Come back Zhou Mu, let's go home after I finish writing."

The hand he stretched out was still wounded, Zhou Mu didn't move, just stared at him blankly, followed by overwhelming anger.

"Why fight?"

When Zhou Mu asked him back, Xin Yi blinked and said flatteringly, "It's nothing, just..."

"Why fight?!"

Zhou Mu asked sharply.

This was the first time Zhou Muhui showed such obvious anger, Xin Yi was frightened and stared blankly at him.

"Zhou Mu..."

"I'm asking you."

"..."

Xin Yi's eyes soon filled with tears, but Zhou Muhui's complexion did not improve at all, and he even shook off his hand. Xin Yi was stunned, looked at her arm hanging by the side, and lowered her head in a daze. head.

He didn't speak, but pursed his lips tightly, refusing to say a word.

But Huang Mao at the side made a sound, saying that he didn't provoke the kid, he just went in to buy a few things, but Xin Yi rushed over and beat him up.

He complained while talking, probably seeing that Zhou Muhui's attitude towards Xin Yi was not good, so he continued to talk nonsense, saying that Xin Yi was sick, and he blamed Zhou Muhui for not being optimistic about Xin Yi.

"Brother Zhou, you said you have a bad temper, and you don't have good eyesight, so find such a younger brother."

Before Zhou Muhui could speak, Xin Yi rushed out, gnashed his teeth and kicked him, "You fart!"

His movement was so sudden that no one could react, but Huang Mao's scream was extinguished at the mouth of his throat, because Zhou Mu dragged Xin Yi back and took another deep look at him.

Those eyes were so stern and murderous that he almost drowned him in the hot air.

The spine on the back of the yellow hair almost exploded.

Before Zhou Mu went back to pay the security deposit, Xin Yi followed behind him with his head bowed. The two of them didn't turn around until they had walked a long way.

"Why fight."

he asked again.

Xin Yi blushed, and refused to answer with her hands behind her back. His knees were still bloodshot. Zhou Mu paused, then suddenly picked him up and put him on the steps beside him.

"..."

"He said you..."

Xin Yi held back desperately, but still shed tears, "I'm going to beat him."

They stayed in the police station for a long time, and it was already dark, Zhou Mu looked back at him for a long time before squatting down in front of him.

When Zhou Muhui saw the yellow hair, he knew that it was related to him. Xin Yi was very good, and he would never provoke others for no reason, let alone fight. Zhou Muhui could almost guess what the other party said, which made Yi consistently soft The child was so angry that he even moved his hands.

"You know... don't you?"

Zhou Mu patted his head back and called him, "Xiaoyi."

This was the first time he called Xin Yi like that. Xin Yi sniffled and raised her head dully.

Zhou Muhui handed him the mobile phone that had been on her for a few days, and said in a low voice, "I found it near my... home."

Xin Yi lost her voice, and even forgot to shed tears, "I...Zhou Muhui..."

"Don't be angry... I didn't eavesdrop on purpose..."

Zhou Mu lowered her head, "I know."

He knew what kind of person Xin Yi was, he had always known it.

It's just that Xin Yi's liking is too bright, and Zhou Muhui dare not have it.

"What you heard and what you told him is true." Zhou Mu replied, "He was right."

His voice was soft, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Mu thought back, whether he knew it or said it.

In this way, he will be afraid and will hide away. It is best to treat Zhou Muhui as a scourge and never approach him again.

Let Zhou Mu Hui also... put out those inexplicable thoughts.

"But, but..."

Xin Yi was anxious, and sat on the steps looking at him helplessly, his eyes were very bright, Zhou Muhui thought it was light at first, but later realized it was water.

Because there were large streams of coolness dripping from the back of his hand.

"I don't want others to bully you."

Xin Yi burst into tears, "No one can do it."

He was crying so hard that he couldn't breathe, wiped the messy face with the back of his hand, and said desperately, "I will protect you, Zhou Muhui, I like you."

The bright moonlight imprinted on his tear-stained face, the child's crying was actually not pretty, but Zhou Muhui looked at him, and he didn't recover for a long time.

His heart was beating wildly uncontrollably at this moment, Xin Yi's cell phone rang, Zhou Mu looked back at him lowering his head, the slightly exposed corners of his mouth were bruised, but his fingertips moved uncontrollably.

Zhou Mu recalled.

He may have to admit defeat.

He fell.
