Silent Confession

Zhou Muhui resigned at the end of August, and the child held him for a long time, saying that he would come to pick him up.

He had known about this from Qi Fang a long time ago, and one day he followed Zhou Muhui furtively, sneaked into Zhou Muhui's arms when he was not paying attention, and asked him obliquely.

Have you been hiding anything from yourself recently?

He and Zhou Muhui were doing Tai Chi in the open and in the dark, and from time to time he would pull the corner of Zhou Muhui's clothes. Zhou Muhui's good clothes were messed up by him, and finally he sighed and asked him what he wanted to do.

"No ah."

He blinked innocently and said, "I'll just ask."

Zhou Mu didn't believe it, she lowered her head to frighten him, bit the child's white and tender face, and told Xin Yi to speak up.

Xin Yi laughed straight after being bitten by him, leaning against the kitchen counter and struggling to push him, Zhou Muhui's strength was used where it shouldn't be used, a pair of arms tightly wrapped around Xin Yi's waist, preventing Xin Yi from running away .

"What are you doing?"

Xin Yi managed to poke her head out of his arms, with slight teeth marks on her face, and begged him for mercy, "Okay, then I won't ask, you can go cook."

He looked at Zhou Muhui pitifully, "I'm hungry."

Zhou Muhui didn't let go, she lowered her head and trapped him in her arms, touching his flushed face from struggling.

"Why don't you ask again?"

His voice was very low, and he was getting closer and closer to Xin Yi. Xin Yi sensed his intention and flinched back in a hurry.

"Don't kiss."

Xin Yi covered her mouth with her hands, "I'll have nothing to eat after the kiss."

The man paused for breath, his deep eyes were half-drowned, and they fell on the half of the palm.

Xin Yi was born delicate, raised delicately, her hands were flawless and soft, her slender fingers were blushing from her chin to the end of her eyes, and her fingertips were even red. charming thoughts.

"Zhou Mu back?"

The child is ignorant, he just doesn't want to mess around with Zhou Muhui, he plays games at home during the day and doesn't eat much all day, if he really agrees to Zhou Muhui now, then he won't be able to eat tonight.

"Get up quickly, you are pressing me down."

Xin Yi wanted to run, but felt uncomfortable pushing him.

"..."

Zhou Mu did not come back, but his eyes followed his hand. The hand slid across his chin, and then floated down lightly. The soft fingertips stretched from the skin to the cotton fabric, and finally the slender knuckles were half bent. , resting on his arm.

The complexion was a little off, which caused Zhou Mu to hold his breath for no reason, and Zhou Mu looked down at him, staring blankly, like a fool.

"..."

The empty kitchen was quiet for a while, and the child finally noticed his blankness.

"Are you leaving in a few days?"

Xin Yi's eyeballs rolled around, and suddenly she approached him and asked in a low voice.

He asked intentionally, but Zhou Muhui didn't respond.

"…Um."

He just nodded instinctively, and then suddenly came back to his senses in the next second.

Because the child in his arms lost his temper, he stretched his legs and kicked him hard.

"You didn't tell me!"

Xin Yi was angry and looked at him with bared teeth and claws.

If his little brother Fang hadn't sneaked a word with him, he wouldn't have known that Zhou Muhui would be leaving in two days.

"…Um?"

Zhou Muhui grabbed his fidgeting hand, slowly waking up from the ambiguity of being alone.

"Hmm what eh!"

Xin Yi tried to open her eyes wide and glared at him fiercely.

"..."

He was obviously angry, and Zhou Muhui was slow to realize what he was saying. The man breathed a sigh of relief, touched his wrist, and coaxed him in a low voice, "I said..."

He stopped abruptly in the middle of the conversation, because he suddenly remembered something.

When he said it, the child was crying fiercely,

That night was chaotic and sad, Xin Yi even hurt her hand, Zhou Muhui silently swallowed the words she hadn't finished speaking.

He rubbed his fingertips along the back of Xin Yi's intact hand, and apologized first.

"It's my fault."

He didn't speak clearly, and for no reason made Xin Yi sad. Xin Yi cried so much that day, probably...he didn't hear his explanation at all.

He bowed his head and admitted his mistake first, Xin Yi is a very coaxable person, the child nodded aggrievedly, and was about to hug him to say forgiveness, when Zhou Muhui frowned suddenly, and asked him late, "... Qi Let it go?"

He already knew the answer when he said it, Zhou Mu was boring and such a good thing when he returned to his side, so he only put one person together.

"..."

Xin Yi quickly retracted his half-stretched hand, he didn't know how the fire suddenly burned himself, but he still couldn't admit it.

As if changing his face, he winked obediently at Zhou Mu and smiled flatteringly, "No, I guessed it myself."

Qi Fang winked at him while talking to him, telling him not to reveal himself, Xin Yi nodded at that time, but now he naturally wants to keep his word.

He wanted to run after he finished speaking, especially when he saw Zhou Muhui's face suddenly turned cold, he shrank his neck in a hurry, kissed him when he was not paying attention, then jumped off and ran.

"Anyway, I'm going to pick you up!"

He yelled as he ran.

Zhou Mu didn't say yes, but snorted coldly behind Xin Yi's back, "He talks a lot of nonsense."

The voice is neither loud nor low, just enough for Xinyi to hear.

Xin Yi trembled in the living room, and sent Qi Fang a message in fear, telling him to stay away from Zhou Mu at the nearest, and when the man came out, she nervously picked up the cat and stood in front of her.

She didn't even dare to turn her head to look at him.

At the end of the matter, Xin Yi successfully received Zhou Mu's reply, but Qi Fang did not escape the scolding and ended tragically.

Xin Yi went to their company at the end of the month, and sat downstairs by the flower bed obediently waiting for Zhou Mu to come back. Zhou Mu returned to go upstairs to hand over some things, Xin Yi was too embarrassed to go up, so she waited for him downstairs.

Qi Fang appeared out of nowhere, disguised as an ordinary person, quietly sat beside Xin Yi, and bumped him with his elbow.

"Child."

He called Xin Yi in a low voice.

Xin Yi was not surprised, just lowered her head without changing her face, and handed the things in her hand to Qi Fang like a secret agent handing over.

"Brother Fang, I just bought it. There are a lot of puffs and dirty buns from B's on South Road."

Qi Fang swallowed, stuffed everything into his bag secretly, then turned his head and said to Xin Yi, "Then I'll slip away first, Brother Zhou comes down and say goodbye to me."

He was recently ordered to keep his weight under control, and when a child happened to come over, he asked Xin Yi to bring him some sweets, planning to find a place to eat them secretly.

Xin Yi nodded obediently, and got up to cover him, but Qi Fang turned around the next second and looked at him strangely.

"…What's wrong?"

Xin Yi looked down at herself, thinking that there was something wrong with her.

"...You look so familiar to me, I always feel like I've seen you somewhere."

Qi Fang frowned, walked around him, sighed Xin Yi, and thought about it carefully.

"Outside the school auditorium?"

Xin Yi asked obediently.

"No, it should be earlier."

Qi Fang stared at him, then suddenly woke up in the next moment and opened his eyes wide.

"Oh!!"

"You're the boy who picked up Brother Zhou downstairs from the company!"

He was wearing a mask, but his eyes were full of excitement, and Xin Yi looked at him in a daze, not understanding what he meant.

"When Brother Zhou first came here!" Qi Fang smiled furtively at him again, "Did you always come to pick him up from get off work?"

"...accepted a few times."

As a result, Zhou Mu was not allowed to come back later, and he was very angry, with a cold face for several days.

"That's right! That's when I met Brother Zhou! You are handsome and attractive, and you were watched after you came twice." Qi Fang blinked at him, "Those people's mouths are not clean, Brother Zhou posted What a big fire, dragging people to the garage at night to beat them, you wouldn’t believe me when I told you that he was beating people, it’s really fierce, I was frightened!”

Xin Yi groaned, opened his mouth for a long time without recovering, then Qi Fang left, Zhou Muhui came down again, he was led by the man and walked out, until he got into the car, he seemed to be awakened , quickly looked at Zhou Muhui.

"Zhou, Zhou Mu, come back!"

Xin Yi leaned over nervously and asked him, "Why didn't you let me pick you up then?"

Just as the man was about to drive, he frowned when he heard his words.

"..."

Xin Yi looked eagerly, but Zhou Muhui subconsciously avoided it. He pushed Xin Yi back, not wanting to say, "Your school is far away."

"It's not a good place."

Seeing that Xin Yi didn't speak, he reluctantly added another sentence.

The words were blunt, Xin Yi blinked, stared at him for a while, and then nodded.

"Oh!"

I couldn't help laughing again.

"...What are you laughing at?"

Xin Yi didn't speak, and obediently fastened her seat belt. Zhou Mu turned her head and glanced at him, seeing that his hands were empty, and asked, "Where's the cake?"

Didn't I just buy it on the road? I said that I have been hungry for a long time and I really want to eat it.

Especially when he went out in the morning, he emphasized on it, and Zhou Muhui pressed him and kissed him for a long time before he reluctantly got Zhou Muhui to agree.

"Eat it."

Xin Yi innocently spread his hands and urged him to drive, "Hurry up, we're going home!"

He had a smile in his eyes, and he was in a good mood under the blue sky and white sun. Zhou Muhui didn't understand why he was so happy all of a sudden, but the child had managed to be as noisy as before, even if his temper was tossing around, Zhou Muhui could accept it.

As long as it's not sad.

Zhou Muhui took a deep look at him, then started the car helplessly.

Before going to sleep at night, Zhou Muhui told him again, telling him not to stay in bed tomorrow, Xin Yi nodded under him in a daze, and pushed him to take a bath.

"I see, you've said it several times..."

He yawned and struggled to roll over.

Zhou Mu returned tomorrow to take him to see his new workplace. He probably felt that what Xin Yi asked him today meant something deep, so he didn't even ask Xin Yi. He offered to take him to see it after dinner in the evening. .

The bed beside her was soft and bounced back, heavy footsteps piled up to the bathroom, soon there was the sound of water, Xin Yi rubbed the pillow, and sat up again.

He was not so sleepy after being made a fuss by Zhou Mu just now.

He yawned again, pulled on his slippers and wanted to knock on Zhou Muhui's door. He has become a little used to being favored by Zhou Muhui recently, and some of his previous pettiness slowly sprouted, and he always loves to find Zhou Muhui. Twilight's trouble.

Especially today.

Today, when he knew that Zhou Muhui had fought with someone behind his back.

Xin Yi sat at the door and thought in a daze.

No wonder Xin Yi never wanted to go to the company, nor let Xin Yi get to know his colleagues.

Xin Yi scratched his face embarrassingly, he felt that he was really stupid and self-willed before, thinking about it alone, making them both so sad.

But his Zhou Muhui really didn't like to talk at all, he didn't like to say anything when he was doing and thinking, Xin Yi propped his face and sighed deeply, a little worried.

"Zhou Mu back."

Xin Yi knocked on his door, it was quiet for a while, and then the sound of the water stopped.

"…What's wrong?"

"Are we going to be honest about it?"

"…Yes."

"Do you want to speak up?"

"……Yes."

"Oh."

Xin Yi withdrew her hand again and said, "It's okay, you can continue washing, and I'll remind you."

It was silent for a while, Xin Yi got up, heard the sound of water again, buried her head and muttered twice, "This should be all right."

In the future, they will communicate well, communicate well, Xin Yi will tell Zhou Muhui as soon as possible when she is sad, and Zhou Muhui will tell Xin Yi as soon as possible if she has something to do.

Xin Yi will grow up well and learn to be a mature person, and Zhou Muhui can also breathe a sigh of relief occasionally, like Xin Yi, to be a naive fool.

They just need to support each other, as long as they are getting better, and they just need to hold hands and move forward together.

There are all kinds of life, and you should never stick to a certain shape.

He dusted off his trousers, opened the closet to get a new one, and when the clothes were handed over, something fell off, Xin Yi lowered his head and picked it up.

The water stopped behind him, the door was stabbed and pushed open, Zhou Muhui wiped it casually and came out, calling him hesitantly.

"Small idea..."

His voice was tight and uneasy, "Are you unhappy?"

Xin Yi squatted on the ground and didn't speak for a long time. Zhou Mu pursed her lips, took a quick step forward, and stopped breathing in the next second.

"..."

"Just pretend I didn't see it..."

Xin Yi was turned back by him, shrinking her neck, and asked in a low voice.

He held a square box in his hand, the sapphire blue velvet was half opened, and it was decorated with a delicate single ring. Xin Yi dared not speak, but held the box with both hands, secretly glanced at Zhou Muhui from the corner of his eye.

The two of them looked at each other, and Zhou Muhui lost his voice for a while, staring blankly at Xin Yi who was crouching on the ground.

"…me."

He got stuck, but Xin Yi spoke first.

"...Is it for me?"

He asked carefully under the dim wall lamp.

"..."

Zhou Muhui's heart fluttered wildly. He didn't expect that the child would be able to turn out all the rings just by taking a bath, but Xin Yi's eyes were too bright, and his eyes were extremely shy and nervous. Mu Hui sighed inwardly, and dragged his stiff body to squat down.

"…Yes."

He nodded, gently holding the child's trembling hand.

"It's for Xiaoyi."

Xin Yi suddenly smirked, and the hands being held almost closed tightly.

"No, don't take it back!"

Zhou Mu turned back and trembled slightly, feeling a little helpless.

"Don't take it."

The two of them squatted on the ground, neither of them had the strength to get up, Xin Yi was directly frightened, and Zhou Muhui was similar, his heart was messed up by him, but the important thing on his mind that had been hidden for a long time followed his Laughing all spread out.

Forget it.

All the prepared venues and grand marriage proposals are useless.

Reminding the child repeatedly not to sleep in tomorrow is of no use.

Whoever let the time happen to be so coincidental and so good, Xin Yi picked up this ring.

and so…

It should be now.

It should be when Xin Yi is smiling.

"Then, should I pretend that I didn't see it!"

Xinyi asked nervously.

Zhou Mu rubbed his sleeping messy hair back, shaking his head gently.

"Need not."

He took out the ring, the child in front of him froze for breath, his eyes followed his hand blankly, Zhou Mu lowered his head and chuckled, and picked him up in the next second.

"mine--"

Xin Yi was in a hurry, and hurriedly looked at the ring in his other hand.

"yours."

Zhou Muhui hugged him and sat on the edge of the bed, holding his sweaty hand.

"Don't be afraid, it's yours."

They were all wearing pajamas, and Xin Yi's pants were not even put on properly, Zhou Mu looked back at him with a nervous expression, and couldn't help but smile.

Over the years, he has attached too much importance to the promise he made with Yu Nanshan when he got married.

He didn't want to leave Xinyi, didn't want to love Xinyi, so he climbed up desperately, wanted to be able to shelter Xinyi from the wind and rain, and wanted to give Xinyi a better life. He was so busy every day that his feet never touched the ground. They seldom come back.

But I don't know when, his Xin Yi stopped talking.

Always looking at Zhou Muhui with a sad look, curled up in his arms like a cat when he was at home, quietly, well-behaved, holding Zhou Muhui's hand, even liking him Speak very quietly.

Are you unhappy?Did Zhou Mu do it wrong?Zhou Mu thought about it for a long time, and waited for a long time before he slowly touched on some possible reasons.

"Why don't you set it up..."

Xin Yi was nervous and scratched his palm with a trembling voice.

Zhou Mu came back to his senses, looked at him and smiled.

"Xiaoyi, today I have some...whatever."

He originally wanted to give Xin Yi a grand and solemn marriage proposal, to make up for what he owed him all these years.

Not on this ordinary night, even they were not prepared for each other.

"Not casually!"

Xin Yi was in a hurry, her eyes turned red.

"Not casual, not casual! Aren't you going to start over with me? I agree!"

He spoke in a hurry, and tears fell together, which was wiped away by himself in a hurry.

He always thought that what Zhou Muhui said about coming back was just to accompany and pursue again, but he never thought that Zhou Muhui would propose to him again.

Proposal.

A word that makes people feel tender and cry just by saying it.

It was Zhou Mu's reply to him.

"...don't cry."

Zhou Muhui half-knelt down in front of him, looking at him tenderly.

He carefully wiped away Xin Yi's tears, and slowly opened his mouth.

"I bought a shop at the Confucian Temple. On the night before your 19th birthday, you drank, held my hand and cried and made noise, saying that when you grow up and make money, we will be our own bosses. Let no one bully me."

"I didn't dare to think..."

"I'm always afraid that you will grow up soon, and then you won't like Zhou Muhui anymore. You are the brightest and most dazzling sun. You should have... a better and more worthy life."

"I'm afraid of dirtying you."

"…No."

Xin Yi cried, clutching his wrist tightly, "No, I just like you!"

Zhou Mu smiled back, put his hands together to hold him, and gently comforted him.

"I didn't think so anymore, you are so kind, I can't bear to let go."

I hate that the person standing next to you is not me, and the person you look at is not me.

So I want to struggle again, I want to fight again, I want to stand side by side with you, I want...to be worthy of you.

"I haven't figured out what to do at the Confucian Temple, but it doesn't matter, it will take a long time, and we can think about it slowly."

Zhou Mu kissed his fingers back and whispered, "Are you okay?"

Xin Yi cried back to him, "Okay, we'll be the bosses, we'll be together every day."

His tears fell more and more fiercely, and he couldn't control it no matter what, he felt the cold touch of his fingertips, wiped his tears frantically, then lowered his head and stared blankly at Zhou Muhui.

The ring stopped by his hand, Zhou Mu raised his head back, looking at him tenderly and seriously.

"Xiaoyi, Zhou Muhui is stupid and can't speak. Zhou Muhui three years ago was not qualified, but this time I think we'll have a good time."

The silver light on the fingertips was finely shattered, slowly pushed into the depths, and the warm skin kissed the tears hurriedly, until the light suddenly stopped at the end.

"Let me chase you instead."

"Instead I will love you."

"Instead, I'll propose to you."

"Change me..."

"Always with you."

Zhou Mu replied, "Are you okay?"

Xin Yi stayed there for a long time, then jumped down and hugged Zhou Muhui forcefully, he cried hard and eagerly, he nodded and said yes, and answered with choked up tears.

Zhou Muhui always said that he was not good, and always said that Xin Yi was very good.

But Xin Yi thinks that they are obviously very good.

There is no better and gentler existence in this world than Zhou Muhui, he is frank and upright, he is calm and introverted, he is the muddy hand stretching out the dark paint hole.

He loves Xin Yi's childishness, even if it is ridiculously naive in the eyes of others, he respects Xin Yi's stupidity, and talks to Xin Yi seriously every time, he thinks that whether Xin Yi loves to laugh or cry, he is The most unique kindness.

He said that Xinyi is the sincere and bright sun, the scorching and pure light.

"It's my one and only home."

They are so compatible, they should be regarded as a match made in heaven.

No one can say anything wrong.

Zhou Mu smiled back and held him tightly in his arms. The child curled up his arms and cried in his arms, saying that he really liked him. Zhou Mu nodded and responded gently.

"I love Xiaoyi too."

A long time ago, before you reached out to me ignorantly, before you approached me again and again, knowing that you were the light that I couldn't ask for, but still couldn't help looking at you and walking towards you.

Break free from all the mud and darkness around you, crawl out of the rotten hole, hand out your heart with a pair of dirty hands, and ask you anxiously and nervously.

"Do you want it?"

"Can I?"

You nod.

You smile at me.

You come to me with light.

So I caught the sun.

Never let go.

-

Finish.
