Silent Confession

When Zhou Mu pushed the door back, Xin Yi was lying on the bed doing homework, the cat fell asleep on the floor at the foot of his bed, and when he heard him open the door, he struggled and turned over.

Xin Yi also looked up, the corners of his eyes were still a little red, Zhou Mu paused, and the hand holding the dinner plate also froze silently.

"…Meow."

Before they could speak, the cat on the ground meowed, then turned over again, pawed Zhou Muhui's leg with two paws, and refused to let him go.

"..."

Xin Yi was stunned, looked at the cat blocking Zhou Muhui, and quickly climbed out of bed.

"Cat, what are you doing?"

The two of them sat on the ground in the same posture, the cat turned its head when it heard the sound, and rubbed against him as if in a daze, Xin Yi hurriedly comforted it, grabbed its two paws and hugged it down, making way for Zhou Muhui.

Zhou Mu turned his head back and saw the cat making coquettish meows in his arms, and said in a low voice, "Maybe I thought you were sleeping too."

That's why he was not allowed to come in, for fear of waking Xin Yi up.

Xin Yi and the cat looked up together, staring blankly at him, Zhou Muhui put down the dinner plate, leaned over and hugged them both on the bed.

"It's afraid that I'll wake you up."

Zhou Mu went back to explain, touched Xin Yi's still red eyes, and asked, "Are you still sleepy?"

Xin Yi shook her head in a daze, as if she had finally come to her senses, she lowered her head to look at the cat in his arms, and pinched its soft nape.

"Cat cat..."

He whispered, "You are so good."

His voice was very soft, as if he was talking to the cat alone, but Zhou Muhui was able to steal a little because he was close to him.

The man looked at him quietly, smiling Xinyi, and bit the cat's ear again. His snow-white nape was exposed from the collar of his pajamas. Zhou Muhui's eyes stopped there, and then his fingers touched it lightly. Said in a low voice, "You are also very good."

The back of Xin Yi's neck was pressed and rubbed by someone's palm, and the rough palm lines of the other party seemed to be inseparable from him. Xin Yi looked up while holding the cat, and blinked.

"Like I'm the cat."

Xin Yi moved, feeling Zhou Muhui gently pinch him like he pinches a cat, and suddenly pursed his lips and smiled.

"Not a cat."

Zhou Mu knelt halfway in front of him, her voice was low but serious.

"You are Xinyi."

"Xin Yi is very obedient."

He spoke seriously, as if he was talking about something very important, Xin Yi looked at him stupidly, and then said "oh" after a while.

"Is it only good?"

Xin Yi is like a child who wants a second time after being praised once, "Do I only have to be good?"

Zhou Mu looked back at his expectant eyes, thinking of the conversation he overheard just now, she couldn't help shaking her head, as if she was bewitched by him.

"No."

"Then what else?"

"Xin Yi is very good."

"anything else?"

"Xin Yi...is very hot."

"hot?"

A gust of wind suddenly broke through the half-open window, blowing Xin Yi's shattered hair in front of his forehead. The shattered hair covered his face, Xin Yi frantically pushed it away, but Zhou Muhui used this moment to look at him unscrupulously.

"Ah."

It's... the same Xinyi as the sun.

Shining mind.

Zhou Muhui helped him put his hair behind his ears, and said softly, "You are all fine."

Xin Yi froze, raised her head without moving for a long time, his soft cheeks were exposed again, Zhou Mu looked down at him, her heart seemed to be filled with something bit by bit.

"you you…"

Xin Yi stammered, and hurriedly sat up again, trying to catch his breath.

"Zhou Muhui, do you want to make up with me?"

Otherwise... otherwise how could I say so many good things today...

"Ah."

Zhou Mu nodded back, "Is it possible?"

He agreed so quickly, even faster than in the morning, but Xin Yi was speechless.

He really wanted to agree, but he was very concerned about Zhou Mu's silence last night.

"And..." Xin Yi grabbed the hem of his clothes and said in a low voice, "It's still close."

"what?"

Zhou Muhui lowered his head and asked him, but he didn't understand what Xin Yi meant. Xin Yi was a little anxious and flinched, his fingers unconsciously curled up at the corner of Zhou Muhui's clothes, Zhou Muhui paused, and held his hand. hand.

"Can I ask again?"

Zhou Muhui asked him seriously. He is not a smart person in this area, but he is very patient and willing to wait for every answer Xinyi gives him.

"I have to say..."

Xin Yi refused to say any more, but she almost moved into his arms, looking at him eagerly, "There is still..."

The sentence he didn't finish.

He said he knew why Xin Yi was unhappy.

The cat on the side was ignored, but didn't bark sensibly. Zhou Mu looked back at the two children in his arms, and suddenly leaned over as if he had reacted, and asked with Xin Yi's breath.

"Say I like you, okay?"

Zhou Muhui could feel the breathing close to the tip of his nose froze, his moist and bright eyes slightly enlarged, Zhou Muhui stretched out his hand, and carefully helped the boy in his arms.

"Don't be angry anymore."

Zhou Mu looked back at him, pressed his forehead against his, and seeing that he was still dumbfounded and unresponsive, said in a low voice, "I was wrong."

"..."

"Oh."

After a while, Xin Yi stammered and nodded, "Then we... just make up."

It's not that Xin Yi has never been confessed to, a man has a dull temper, but he is not a person who doesn't talk about anything. Occasionally, when Xin Yi pesters him, Zhou Muhui will tell him that he likes and loves him.

But after all, he wouldn't say these words every day, and Xin Yi wouldn't ask him like that. He could feel Zhou Muhui's love, so he never doubted it.

Until he saw the divorce agreement, Xin Yi was a little confused and didn't quite understand. He didn't know what was wrong between him and Zhou Muhui, so he wanted to get a response from the other party even more urgently.

It was as if he had changed from an omnipotent warrior to Xin Yi, who was as timid as a mouse, and Xin Yi was a little discouraged because he couldn't control his fear.

Zhou Muhui was as cold and silent as usual, Xin Yi looked around him anxiously, and he wanted to ask, but the words were swallowed again.He has all kinds of messes in his heart, but what he fears the most is that Zhou Mu will leave when he returns.

Xin Yi is stupid, she doesn't know how to keep him.

When Zhou Muhui came back with the bowl, Xin Yi lay on the bed with the cat to watch him. The sky outside the window gradually darkened, reflecting the dim lights in the room, giving him a warm feeling of home.

It was the scene where Xin Yi stayed there since she was a child, but she didn't expect that many years later, he would have his own home.

"Zhou Mu back."

Seeing him put down the bowl, Xin Yi called him softly.

"I don't want to eat carrots."

They delayed so much that the porridge brought back by Zhou Mu was completely cold, and finally the man took the bowl to the kitchen and reheated the porridge.

"I eat."

Zhou Muhui picked out the carrots in his bowl, Xin Yi didn't move, just looked at him like this, and suddenly said, "Zhou Muhui, you're so kind."

He doesn't like to eat carrots, from childhood to adulthood, but acting like a baby is useless to his family, especially his father, who cooks carrots every time he cooks.

It made him get used to eating it for many years, and it was not until he met Zhou Muhui that he picked up the bad habit of picky eaters again.

Zhou Mu hummed back, and told him to sit down and eat obediently.

Xin Yi nodded, got up and took the spoon, and took small sips of the clean porridge.

They are no different from the rehabilitated ones, everything

Just like every day before, before going to sleep, Xin Xin was restless, and the hand under the quilt secretly grabbed the corner of Zhou Muhui's clothes, and then sneaked into Zhou Muhui's arms before the other party could react.

Zhou Mu paused, looked at the person in his arms, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xin Yi didn't speak, but buried herself in his arms, and finally raised her head in this posture, and whispered, "Fang Yihe and I have apologized."

He didn't say more, like a sensible child who reported good news but not bad news, he didn't want Zhou Muhui to know the sadness he had caused.

It's just that his tone was too serious, as if he regarded it as a big event, because it involved Zhou Muhui.

Zhou Mu turned to look down at him, his little friend looked at him anxiously in his arms, even the fingers holding the hem of his clothes turned white.

It seems that an ordinary apology will hurt Zhou Muhui.

"it does not matter."

Zhou Mu replied, "Xin Yi, these are not important."

Xin Yi nodded vigorously, but did not let go of him.

"I know, but I don't want you to be unhappy."

"Zhou Muhui, you are very, very brave." Xin Yi hugged him whole and whispered, "You protected Auntie, you are amazing."

People often wonder why Zhou Muhui and Xin Yi are together. They look very different, no matter their age or status, they are not the perfect match.

Not to mention that Xin Yi is so much younger than him.

Even when the two of them got together at the beginning, it was like playing house, as if it was just Xin Yi's child who was awkward and said that he wanted to be with him, and then Zhou Mu returned to the strange eyes of the people around him, and nodded silently.

They have never been favored. For so many years, only Xin Yi never tires of saying that he loves him, and that Zhou Muhui is very good. He is like some little beast that protects the calf, blocking all the strong winds in front of him. rainstorm.

From 17 to 22 years old, never changed.

"Ah."

Zhou Muhui pressed the back of his neck and pressed him into his arms, and turned off the lamp behind him.

"It's late at night," he said, "go to sleep."

Xin Yi snorted, nestled quietly in his arms, and said suddenly after a while, "Zhou Muhui, your heart beats so fast."

Zhou Mu covered his ears back, not allowing him to listen any more.

"No."

Xin Yi's eyelashes are very long, and when she blinks, they will rub against Zhou Muhui's palm, and Zhou Muhui slightly bends her palm to keep herself away from him.

"You didn't cover it well, I heard it again."

Xin Yi was like a child making trouble on purpose, grabbing his wrist in the dark, relentlessly.

"Zhou Mu back."

"sleep."

Zhou Muhui let go of his hand this time, grabbed the quilt and wrapped the two of them together, the surroundings were tightly pressed, no light could penetrate any more,

Only the person on the side with long and steady breathing is the person Xin Yi is most familiar with.

"Ok."

Xin Yi pursed her lips and smiled, not wanting to expose his weakness at this moment.

"But you're the best."

He also closed his eyes, speaking softly in the dark.

No one spoke for a long time, until everything fell into silence, Zhou Muhui pulled down the quilt, looked at Xin Yi who was sleeping beside him, and gently touched his face.

There seemed to be someone whispering in the darkness, but it didn't seem to be there. A gust of wind blew in from the half-open window not far away. Zhou Mu stopped his movements, looked at the dim eyes behind him, and carefully drew him closer to himself. arms.

There is no more movement.
