Silent Confession

When Xin Yi arrived, Zhou Muhui was not there, and the store was very busy. The acquaintance said that Brother Zhou was going outside to pick up the goods, and it would take a while.

"Sister Chen and Brother Zhou don't know what they're doing recently, they've been busy all the time, Xiaoyi, just wait."

Sister Chen was the former proprietress, Xin Yi nodded quickly, and found an empty place to stay by herself, Xin Yi didn't call Zhou Mu back, he was afraid that Zhou Mu would be busy outside and disturb him again.

There was a pause in the middle of the store, someone fetched him a glass of water, Xinyi aimed at the door, but Zhou Muhui never came back.

"I guess it will take a while."

The other side said.

Xin Yi nodded, but hesitated to speak in the next second.

Xin Yi actually had something hidden in his heart. He didn't come for half a month, but he had a vague feeling that something was wrong with Zhou Mu's reply, but he never had a chance to ask. Xin Yi struggled for a while, but still couldn't hold back, and whispered, "Zhou Mu replied Are you busy recently?"

"Busy, I can't be free for a moment. During the half month when you were away, you left early and returned late every day. These two days have been better. I think you will be back later."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise outside, and the man smiled at him, "Well, go quickly, it must be Brother Zhou."

Xin Yi got up the moment he opened his mouth, and ran out in a hurry. He hadn't seen Zhou Muhui for half a month, and he wanted to die, but when he did see him, he still didn't dare to rush forward, because Zhou Muhui was in a mess, even his hair seemed to be soaked in water.

"Xiao Gu! Bring the towel quickly! Xiao Zhao! Go to the back and look for any extra clothes. My fucking grandson, who loves to cooperate and not cooperate, and dares to vent his anger on others. Tomorrow, I will dig up his ancestral grave. Let's see his ancestors." What kind of fairy look do you have, what the hell... Xiao, Xiaoyi?!"

Xin Yi was stunned for a moment, looking at the wet Zhou Muhui, her eyes widened in bewilderment.

"…fine."

Zhou Muhui was also taken aback by his sudden appearance, but within a moment, he reached out his hand to Xin Yi.

"come over."

Xin Yi came to Zhou Muhui with the towel, and Zhou Muhui led him into the store. Sister Chen was beside him for a long time. After Zhou Mu went back in to change her clothes, she whispered to the dumbfounded Xin Yi, "Your brother is fine, Xiaoyi, don't be afraid."

They came back in a hurry and didn't notice that the kid was also in the store. Sister Chen knew that Zhou Muhui had always cared about this younger brother, so she naturally didn't want him to worry.

But Xin Yi didn't speak. He got closer to Zhou Muhui just now and found that Zhou Muhui's forehead was also swollen. It took the child a long time to open his mouth and asked Sister Chen, "What's going on?"

Didn't he go to pick up the goods? Why was his whole body soaked and injured.

Sister Chen was stuttering and unable to speak. The person who was articulate and swearing just now looked at Xin Yi's eyes as if they were stuck. Fortunately, Zhou Muhui finally came out, and Sister Chen hurriedly stepped back and said, "Xiao Zhou, today is the time for me to talk." Go back and rest, I'll watch over here."

"Xiaoyi, you can go back with your brother, if you have any questions, come to me."

Xin Yi didn't speak, but Zhou Muhui led him and nodded towards Sister Chen.

"Then I'll come over tomorrow, don't go there alone."

"Fuck it... oh, ok ok."

Zhou Mu looked back and hummed.

Xin Yi was led halfway by him before she opened her mouth. Zhou Mu had already changed into clean clothes when she returned, and even her hair was completely blown dry. Only the swollen and purple forehead was the only way she could know what happened just now.

"...Zhou Mu back."

Xin Yi stopped, "You—"

"Sister Chen wanted to make the store bigger, but she couldn't reach a deal when she went to discuss cooperation. The other party was a little emotional, so I blocked it."

Zhou Mu touched his cold face back, and whispered, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

"..."

Xin Yi nodded, but hugged him tightly in the next second.

"Why are they still beating people..."

The child's voice was filled with tears, and Zhou Muhui's neck was soon dizzy with tears. Zhou Muhui comforted him softly, stroked his hair and kissed him, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

Xin Yi couldn't stop crying, his heart ached terribly, but Zhou Muhui seemed to be in a good mood, even coaxing him softly and kissing him from time to time.

Xin Yi raised her head with tears in her eyes, and stared blankly at him, "What are you doing?"

He was going to die of heartache, and Zhou Muhui was still laughing.

Zhou Mu didn't answer, but just wiped his tears and asked him in a soft voice, "Why are you here today?"

Xin Yi had told him before that she would stay at home with his mother during the Chinese New Year and not come out often.

It was only then that Xin Yi remembered what Xin Shao said, he froze for a moment, then quickly took out the red envelope and handed it to him.

"I, my parents gave it to me."

Xin Yi wiped away the tears on her face indiscriminately, and said with some embarrassment, "It's for you."

Zhou Mu was stunned, he wanted to refuse instinctively, but Xin Yi looked at him shyly, her eyes filled with expectation, so Zhou Mu hoarse and nodded seriously.

"it is good."

"Also, there is more!"

Xin Yi hastily added, "My mother asked if you want to come for dinner tomorrow!"

Zhou Mu paused for a moment, then responded, "Come."

Xin Yi smiled instantly, grabbed Zhou Muhui's hand and looked up at him.

"Do you want me to pick you up?"

he asked vaguely.

"Need not."

Zhou Mu replied, "I'll come by myself."

Xin Yi nodded vigorously, "Then we will wait for you at home tomorrow."

His voice was soaked in honey, so sweet that it was about to melt Zhou Muhui, but after seeing the injury on Zhou Muhui's forehead, he pursed his mouth, and his whole face fell down again.

"Nothing."

Zhou Mu sighed inwardly, took his hand forward, and said softly, "Let's go."

Xin Yi didn't remember what he had forgotten until after he got home. He wanted to ask Zhou Muhui why he had found so many jobs recently, but before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by the previous incident.

But anyway, he was coming tomorrow, Xin Yi yawned, turned over on the bed, thinking, it would be too late to ask tomorrow.

I just hope it's not a big deal, it makes Xin Yi a little worried.

They made an appointment for dinner, and Xin Yi was helping Xin Shao in the afternoon. He didn't know how to cook, so he followed Xin Shao to help. Go, don't hang around in front of yourself.

The child was chattering all afternoon, especially to Yu Tingyun, he was not allowed to lose his temper, and he was not allowed to show his face back at Zhou Mu. Yu Tingyun was furious at what he said, and finally nodded bitterly.

Xin Shao was held in Yu Nanshan's arms, laughing at the side, Xin Yi turned around and begged them eagerly, "Dad, don't scare him either."

Their family is a bit special. Xin Yi had two fathers since she was a child, but Xin Yi never deliberately distinguished what to call them. Fortunately, the two of them didn't care, they just barked along with Xin Yi.

Yu Nanshan raised his eyebrows and asked, "When did I ever scare him?"

Xin Yi groaned, thought about it carefully, and then turned her head to give Yu Tingyun repeated orders.

Yu Tingyun was very angry, "You just listen to him, and you believe what he says."

Xin Yi groaned, but Yu Tingyun didn't explain, rolled his eyes, turned and went upstairs, and said, "Understood."

"I'm going to send him a message!"

After the child finished washing the dishes, he rushed out again. Xin Shao had been talking about him all afternoon, so he nodded quickly, "Go now."

Xin Yi ran very fast, and sent the message very quickly, but it was only two o'clock in the meeting, and Zhou Muhui didn't reply to him immediately.

Xin Yi waited for a while, thinking that he might be busy, so she didn't pay much attention, and went to the kitchen to harass his mother.

When it was almost five o'clock, Xin Yi looked at the phone again, but there was still no movement from Zhou Muhui, the child frowned strangely, a little puzzled.

Zhou Muhui made an appointment with him to come today, so she won't keep replying to his messages.

Could it be that the same thing happened that day?

Xin Yi suddenly became nervous and called Zhou Muhui.

But no one answered the bell until the end, Xin Yi looked worried, and it happened that Xin Shao was calling him, Xin Yi answered, got up and ran to the kitchen again.

Might be really busy.

Xin thought.

He decided to wait a little longer, since it was still early for dinner anyway, maybe he would come by himself later when Zhou Mu came back.

But until the afterglow of the setting sun fell, the fathers also went downstairs, and Zhou Muhui was still missing. Xin Yi stood in front of the French window pursing her lips, mechanically listening to the female voice coming from the other end of the phone.

"Sorry, the number you dialed was not answered, please try again later..."

He sent many messages back to Zhou Mu and made many calls, but there was no response.The clerk in the store said that he hadn't been here in the afternoon, and Sister Chen also said that Zhou Muhui had asked her for leave early on. Xin Yi looked at the calm screen and didn't speak for a long time.

Zhou Mu went back to ask for leave to come to his house, but Xin Yi never waited for him.

"Did something happen?"

Xin Shao came over and asked in a low voice.

His hand fell on Xin Yi's shoulder, and he gently turned the silent child around.

The child in their family lowered his head, and there was no smile on his usual smiling face. Xin Shao had never seen him so sad. He stroked Xin Yi's hair, feeling a little distressed.

"Mom I'm sorry..."

Xin Yi held the phone tightly, not daring to look at Xin Shao.

Their family attaches great importance to this meal, which is different from the usual Xin Yi pulling Zhou Mu back home. This is the Lantern Festival and the Reunion Festival, and his family took the initiative to ask Zhou Mu to come back to eat.

But Zhou Mu didn't come back.

"fine."

Xin Shao patted him on the shoulder and said softly, "Maybe something happened, do you want mom to accompany you to see it?"

They didn't ask any questions just now, because they were afraid that Xin Yi would blame herself.

Xinyi shook her head.

"I go by my own."

His two fathers did not speak for a while, Yu Nanshan sat on the sofa with his eyes downcast, Xin Yi looked at him, walked to Yu Tingyun, and called him in a low voice.

"Dad, he won't stop coming suddenly. Don't dislike him in the future, okay?"

Yu Tingyun was angry in his heart, but he didn't show it, because their child was about to cry, he choked up a bit, and restrained himself from nodding.

"Go ahead, Dad understands."

Xin Yi hummed, turned and went out the door.

But he didn't find Zhou Muhui.

No matter where he works or at his home, Xin Yi has nothing to worry about.

found.

Zhou Muhui disappeared, and Xin Yi couldn't find him.
