Two trees make a forest

The sun fell, the stars came out and blinked, but I still didn't see the people from the Mu family come out.My stomach was hungry, growling, and numb, and I had no intention of leaving.I gritted my teeth and held on to the end, just wanting to unravel the doubts in my heart.I really regretted leaving the house opposite and Mu Xizi's side.A panic of extreme uneasiness overwhelmed me.I sat in the alley, locked on to the movement on the other side without blinking my eyes.There are many people coming and going, some I have seen in the newspapers, some I have seen on TV, and many more people I do not know.They were dressed in black and got out of the car with serious faces.The gate was lit up, and it was a bit dim, but it did not hinder the pace of people walking in.The night wind blew a little fiercely, and I sat curled up tightly, watching, hoping to gain something from persistence.

Unsteady, I fell to the side. I woke up suddenly from my sleep and looked at the opposite side in a panic.The sky was gray, I checked my phone, it was five o'clock in the morning, and I had been waiting for sixteen hours.The shriveled stomach made my stomach feel uncomfortable. I hugged my legs tightly, hoping to use external pressure to dissolve the pain inside.I checked my phone, but there were no incoming calls or text messages.I'm a little disappointed.His fingertips lingered on the dial keys, and finally put away the phone, obediently sitting still.The sun came out and woke up the earth, but it made me more and more tired.I put my head on my knees and stared at it.

A long car passed by my eyes and drove into the gate of Mu's house.Not long after, it drove out again, followed by five or six cars.The car parked in front of Mu's house also followed.I watched a car pass by in front of my eyes, and found that the door of Mu's house was empty, so I stood up and realized that it should be a hearse.But when I stood up suddenly, the blood did not circulate, my feet became numb and I couldn't straighten up, and I couldn't take a step.But I was so anxious that I bit my lip fiercely before slowly taking one step, another step, but when I stepped out of the alley and chased the convoy, the car was getting farther and farther away from me.I still tried to stretch out my hand, trying to grab something, but I couldn't.I opened my mouth to shout something, but nothing came out.

My feet were no longer numb, and I ran desperately, but my two legs couldn't keep up with the four wheels.When the last car disappeared from the corner, I had to slow down, put my hands on my knees, and looked helplessly at the empty space ahead, panting for air.After realizing the reality, I went back to Mu's house with a glimmer of hope and rang the doorbell. I was greeted by a maid from Mu's house.Through the iron gate, she looked at me with a straight face, and I looked at her too.Before I could say it, she had already issued the order to evict the guests: "Everyone in the Mu family has left, and the Mu family does not accept visitors from outside." After speaking, she turned around and left quickly.I was left alone outside the cold iron gate.

It's not the first time I've approached the door of Mu's house, but every time I'm brought in by Mu Xizi generously.But now, Mu Xizi is gone, and I was ruthlessly turned away.Somewhat dejected, I sat down against the iron door, took out my mobile phone, and called Aunt Liu, for no other reason than to know where Mu Xizi and the others went?

Aunt Liu answered the phone, but she couldn't give me an answer, because she was just a servant, and the Mu family didn't tell her.She only knew about the Mu family, and all the relatives and friends of the Mu family had left.There are only a few servants left in the wooden house.

After hanging up the phone, I stood up in disappointment and walked out of the community slowly.Take a taxi and go back to S University.When I got home, I opened the courtyard door, and saw Xueqiu lying under the eaves. When he saw me, he stood up cleverly and meowed at me, as if to say: Where did Shi Shovel go, and he didn’t come back all night.I hugged the snowball and sat under the eaves in despair, my stomach began to growl.Only then did I remember that I was already hungry.

After eating and feeding the snowball, my phone still didn't ring.I was bored lying on the sofa and stroking Snowball's fur, hoping to use it to comfort my lonely heart.

Dimly, I saw a figure in front of me, with her back facing me, with fluttering long hair and wearing a long white dress.I chased after him, looking at Mu Xizi's name in my mouth.But she ignored it, and only knew to go forward.I quickened my pace to catch up, but I couldn't reach it with my outstretched hands.I felt my fingertips being brushed by her black hair, but I couldn't grasp a strand.Suddenly, a door opened ahead.Mu Xizi walked straight inside.I jumped up and fell heavily on the ground.As soon as I looked up, I watched the gate slowly close, let me call, let me climb, Mu Xizi still didn't look back, I was always close to the gate.When I saw that the door was only a crack away, I heard laughter coming from the door.My hairs trembled all over my body.Immediately afterwards, I watched a bright object being thrown out through the crack of the door.That bright parabola caught my eye.I watched it fall to the ground and spin a few times before the dust settled on the ground and remained motionless.That simple circle made my heart skip a beat.I looked back suddenly and saw the last seam of the door closed.There was constant laughter in the room.I remember that this laughter was Yuan Mei's voice.This piercing laughter woke me up from my sleep.I immediately checked my index finger, the ring was still there.I checked my phone, but there was still no message.I walked around the room anxiously.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that someone finally called my phone.I took the phone excitedly without looking at it and shouted: "Mu Xizi."

What I heard was Xiao Zixuan's voice: "Are you okay?"

I just scanned my phone, and Xiao Zixuan’s name was on the screen, and I said a little disappointed: “Mu Xizi’s grandma.” I suddenly remembered that Xiao Zixuan was Mu Xizi’s brother, so I changed my words: “Your Grandma, it was noon yesterday."

Xiao Zixuan responded to me calmly: "I know. That's why I'm back in China. Right now I'm at the funeral parlor."

I seem to have found my own life-saving straw: "Where is Mu Xizi?"

Xiao Zixuan paused: "Yes."

"Can I go?" I asked without thinking.

Xiao Zixuan told me bluntly: "You, it's better not to show up."

Xiao Zixuan's words hit me hard.Although he can't stand by her side as Mu Xizi's partner to accompany her, can't he be a friend?I sat on the sofa dejectedly, without saying a word.

Xiao Zixuan comforted me: "Your situation is a bit special, for Mu Xizi, for you, I don't think you should show up."

"Friend, can't you?" Finally, I asked.

Xiao Zixuan paused, and then slowly told me: "At least not now."

"Why?" I felt aggrieved and a little excited, "I didn't do anything wrong. I just want to offer incense to Grandma Mu, can't I? I'm just a junior."

"A lot." Xiao Zixuan called me, trying to persuade me, "I'll tell you later when I get back. Don't mess yourself up."

After hanging up the phone, I raised my head, trying to pour back the tears of frustration, but they slipped out from the corners of my eyes.But I bit my lip to keep from sobbing.

Until three o'clock in the morning, I received another call from Xiao Zixuan.He has reached the courtyard gate.I ran out from the sofa, forgetting to put on my shoes.Xiao Zixuan went into the room and looked it up, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect this place to look like it used to."

But I was not in the mood to listen to him talking about family matters, so I went straight to the point: "Why can't I go? The Mu family found out my relationship with Mu Xizi, are they afraid of hurting their face?"

Xiao Zixuan sat on the sofa and looked up at me who was a little flustered: "How much do you know?"

I told everything about Yuan Mei and Xiao Mingming.Xiao Zixuan propped his chin with his hands and thought.I sat nervously on the single chair next to me.The awakened Snowball staggered over with its fat body and rubbed against Xiao Zixuan's ankle.Xiao Zixuan held it in his arms, and then looked at me cautiously: "Your head is a snowball." I almost didn't react to Xiao Zixuan's sudden topic, and then nodded numbly.Xiao Zixuan rubbed Xueqiu's stomach and continued: "Mu Xizi's head is also Xueqiu."

"Is it because of this?" I guessed when I set up the profile picture on Weibo. After Mu Xizi became famous, her profile picture on Weibo and mine would be picked up sooner or later.Rumors will breed.I just thought it would be time to change the avatar.Unexpectedly, the little selfishness at the beginning became the handle today.

Xiao Zixuan shook his head: "It's just that it can be big or small. It's like Xiao Mingming said that he was Mu Xizi's girlfriend when he was drunk, and he was used by someone with a heart. It was a nonsense after drinking, but it made her slip into eternal hatred." , Lost the stardom that has been struggling for so long. I just heard from my aunt that someone settled the Mu family for her immorality after drinking, and she will not dare to mention the Mu family again, let alone appear in the entertainment circle. We don't need to pursue any method. The result is enough to shock people." I looked at Xiao Zixuan in astonishment, not daring to take a breath.Xiao Zixuan said calmly: "I think they are just knocking mountains and shaking tigers. You and Mu Xizi don't need too much proof, you can break it with one stab. The people behind the Mu family are not only the Mu family. When the second uncle is popular again, everyone They all hope that the Mu family is flawless. It’s just that my aunt has been trying her best to protect you, and she has always denied your relationship with Mu Xizi. Now someone has told you, but it’s just to remind you, and I hope you will retreat in spite of the difficulties.”

"I'm just a nobody." I defended myself.

Xiao Zixuan followed closely: "But the members of the Mu family are not ordinary people. Even the people involved with the Mu family are not ordinary people. The inside is intricate, everything is damaged, and everything is prosperous." I lowered my head helplessly , I feel that the invisible pressure of the big family makes me breathless.Xiao Zixuan asked softly: "I will go again at ten o'clock in the morning, do you want to go?"

I immediately raised my head excitedly: "I think."

Xiao Zixuan smiled slightly and leaned back on the sofa: "You are tired too, the dark circles under your eyes are worse than mine, go and sleep. We will leave at eight o'clock." After speaking, he hugged the snowball and prepared to go to bed on the sofa.I stared at him incomprehensibly.Xiao Zixuan opened his eyes again: "Hurry up. If you dare to disturb my sleep, I won't take you in for a while."

I felt like I was stepping on a nail, and I jumped up immediately: "I'm going right away." To show my sincerity, I hurried upstairs and fell on the bed.

My mind was full of the sad news of grandma's departure, and I didn't know what I should do. I was just being dragged by my aunt, Yuan Mei, and others.In addition to crying, there was crying in my ears.I just don't know if it's someone else's crying, or my own.When I regained my senses, we were sitting in a large room.There are more than a dozen flower baskets placed on both sides.Below the black banner, yellow and white chrysanthemums surround the photo of grandma.Grandma is already lying peacefully in the coffin.I couldn't help crying again, feeling like I couldn't stop crying.Then came Zhong Liu, Zhong Yu'er, and Mu Shiran.We stood in one pile, sat in one pile, cried in one pile.Not long after, I saw Xiao Zixuan.He didn't speak, and neither did I.He stood next to me and thanked the guests with us.Time passed quickly in a trance, and my whole heart was immersed in the sad news of grandma's death and I couldn't extricate myself.Sitting down and crying when tired, I still want to cry.His eyes were red and swollen from crying, and the overflow of tears did not delay.When Xiao Zixuan disappeared, I don't know.I feel really tired, not only physically, but also mentally.I really want to lean on someone's shoulder, lie on her chest, and heal my wounded heart with her gentle words.
