be safe

Yin Xiaoli originally wanted to wait for Muzhenxi at home, so she couldn't let go, so she simply came to the community to look for her.

Mu Zhenxi received the call and went downstairs to pick her up at the gate of the community, Yin Xiaoli was too lazy to do a bunch of registration and the like.Yin Xiaoli followed Muzhen Creek into it, and while walking, she pretended to sigh: "We have known each other for many years, and this is the first time we have come to your house."

Muzhenxi glanced at her and said, "Aren't you busy with work? Is it on me?"

Yin Xiaoli was dissatisfied and said, "Can't you cooperate with me?"

Wooden Sleeper Creek follows kindness like a stream, lying low and making a small way: "I know my mistake."

Both Muzhenxi and Yin Xiaoli are busy people, especially Yin Xiaoli, who travels all over the country from time to time for work. Apart from work, she has to make boyfriends and sleep at home, and she usually doesn't make appointments with Muzhenxi at home. They all eat and play outside, and then go back to their homes.Like the last time, Muzhenxi went to knock on the door of Yin Xiaoli's house in the middle of the night, and the number of times in the past few years can be counted on one hand.

Before the moving company arrived, Yin Xiaoli entered the door and saw the two pairs of slippers lined up side by side in the entrance. She clicked her tongue and joked, "Red and green, what a shit match?"

Muzhenxi said in embarrassment: "You are wearing red, those are mine."

Yin Xiaoli said: "Then you wear...hers?" She at least remembered what Mu Zhenxi said last time, and she no longer called her first love girlfriend. Now that Mu Zhenxi has reached this point, it is inappropriate for her to make jokes.

Muzhenxi took off his shoes and walked in barefoot.

The floor in her house was mopped very clean, and it was summer again, so bare feet were more comfortable than wearing shoes.

Yin Xiaoli took off her half-worn shoes, and stepped into them with bare feet.As if on a tour, he looked at the coffee table, the bathroom, and the bedroom, feeling tongue-tied in his heart.

Muzhenxi called her in the study: "Don't tsk, you don't feel dry mouth, help me pack my things."

Yin Xiaoli smiled and said, "Ah, did I click my tongue?"

Muzhenxi came out, folded his arms, and looked at her scrutinizingly.

Yin Xiaoli lost her temper, and asked seriously: "I have a question, how did you let her insist on turning your home into a couple's place when you two have nothing to do with each other?"

You can see couple models everywhere, if she didn't know the real situation, she would think that there is a very loving couple.

Muzhenxi said sadly: "The last time I took her out to buy daily necessities, she wrote down what I used, and secretly bought a couple's model. I didn't find out until I bought it, so I let her go."

Yin Xiaoli laughed and said, "This Dr. Xiao really likes you."

Mu Zhenxi said impatiently: "Have you had enough gossip, hurry up and clean up."

Yin Xiaoli followed her to the study room, moved the books on the bookshelf into a cardboard box, and babbled while moving: "You are going to move, why don't you clean it up in advance? This is because I came here, if I don't come, you have to do it." how long?"

Muzhenxi squatted on the ground, unplugging the cable of the main computer, and the voice came from under the table: "She has a day's class today, and I can still have time to clean up slowly. I am afraid that she will find out if I clean up in advance."

"What's the matter? I found out that you are really a Holy Mother, and you don't owe her anything. Now that you can't live in your house, you're going to rent something else, and you're so sneaky. Are you afraid that she will be sad if you tell her face to face? "

"No." The movement of Muzhenxi's hand paused, and he put the thread into the storage bag prepared in advance, his eyelids drooped, "In case she... I don't want to make the scene ugly, it would be a coincidence to meet again, When you leave, just pretend that nothing happened, be decent."

"This is your house!" Yin Xiaoli raised her voice for emphasis.

This house was rented by Muzhenxi when she first came to Lincheng. She was the first tenant. When she moved in, she had nothing but the basic air-conditioning TV and sofa. She bought everything here little by little over the past four years. Yes, in the first half of this year, Muzhenxi discussed with her whether to buy the house from the landlord when it expires this time.

Just because of Xiao Jin, she can't even have the nest she lived in for four years.

But Fan Muzhenxi was half as cruel as her, and had kicked Xiao Jin out a long time ago.

Muzhenxi glanced at her lightly, repeated her words, and said, "This is my house."

Yin Xiaoli was speechless.

She understands the meaning of Muzhenxi, this is her business, she has made up her mind not to entangle herself with such meaningless things.

Yin Xiaoli pursed her lips and moved the book silently.

Muzhenxi explained to her in a soft tone: "She has already lived here."

Yin Xiaoli understood, and said softly, "Think about people when you see things. From this point of view, it's good for you to move away."

Seeing that she was not angry, Muzhenxi said softly, "I planned to move out of Lincheng when I saw her. Who knows what happened later, and now that the company's new project has just started, I can't get away, which is even worse. Put forward your resignation, let's do this first, and I will leave here when the project is on the right track."

Yin Xiaoli didn't agree with her or disapprove of her. They are both adults and capable of being responsible for their own choices.

Muzhenxi took away her grandmother's photo frame alone, and put it in the suitcase together with the clothes in the bedroom.

She has quite a few things. After all, she has lived here for four years, but there are not many. The furnishings and furnishings in the house cannot be taken away. If you move in the same city, you will move from here to a place half an hour away by car. so neatly.

The two of them worked together, at eleven o'clock in the morning, the living room was full of large and small cardboard boxes, and the moving company came to the door on time and delivered the boxes to the car downstairs.

Mu Zhenxi wrote a sentence on the note pad in his bag, tore it off, and pasted it on the coffee table.

Yin Xiaoli leaned forward and took a look.

Wooden Sleeper Creek asked her, "Is that all right?"

Yin Xiaoli said, "Okay."

Muzhenxi deleted the fingerprints he had entered on the door lock, and finally took a deep look at the house, and there was a dull closing sound.

The new house is near Muzhenxi Company, next to the subway, and it is also a mid-to-high-end community. The floor is higher than the original one, 33 floors, and the view from the bay window is very good.The people from the moving company put the boxes down in the empty living room, leaving Mu and Yin alone.

There is nothing there, and the ground is full of dust.

Muzhenxi sighed, picked up the broom and garbage shovel in the corner, and was about to start cleaning.

Yin Xiaoli held her back and said with a toothache: "Mother, what time is it? Don't you have lunch?"

Wooden Sleeper Creek said, "I'm not hungry yet."

Yin Xiaoli said: "I'm hungry." Immediately she pulled the wooden pillow and dropped the broom in her hand to go out to eat.

In a seafood cafeteria, Yin Xiaoli ate very well, and said that to celebrate Muzhenxi's housewarming, it was obviously not a very decent thing, but she said it was very festive, and Muzhenxi was amused by her. The depressed mood was swept away.

The bill was settled by Muzhenxi, and the agreed housewarming was a happy event, so of course she treated her guests.

We went back and tidied up the new house together, made the bed, arranged the books, and installed the computer. Although it looked empty at first glance, Muzhenxi also wanted to open it up, and didn’t plan to spend any more time on the decoration. Moved away, simple and beautiful.

Yin Xiaoli glanced at her from time to time in the afternoon, her heart was full of sorrow.

Xiao Jin's appearance had such an impact that Mu Zhenxi himself didn't realize it.Yin Xiaoli felt that the wooden pillow creek used to be like a snail hiding in its shell, full of fear of the world. It took her several years to slowly and finally get out, to embrace the sunshine, embrace the new life, and feel For a small potted plant placed on the balcony, I spent a whole afternoon in the flower and bird market, organizing my life in an orderly manner and full of hope.

But now?She had this casual attitude again, as if her life was a muddy mess, and no matter how much she struggled, she would eventually return to her original position.

If that person doesn't show up, everything is fine.

Yin Xiaoli watched her walk from the shadows to the sun, she felt bad for Mu Zhenxi.

Muzhenxi didn't realize that she was thinking so many times, so she picked up the bucket of mineral water she just bought downstairs, took out a disposable paper cup, poured a glass of water and put it in front of Yin Xiaoli, and said with a smile, "Thanks for your hard work, Reporter Yin .”

Yin Xiaoli restrained the emotion in her eyes, leaned towards her and said, "Is it hurting me?"

"No, thank you sincerely." Muzhenxi sat on the ground - the ground had already been dragged, leaning his back against the wall next to the bay window, and raised his head to drink water.Both hands and feet are tired, and only the mouth is idle, chatting.

Mu Zhenxi said: "Last night, Fang Ying was drunk and called me to get back together."

Yin Xiaoli snorted, with deep contempt: "She still has face?"

Mu Zhenxi said happily: "I just remembered this incident, let me tell you, you are also a great matchmaker anyway, don't always be like a firecracker."

Yin Xiaoli said: "Stop talking, I regret being a matchmaker for you so much, first Fang Ying, then Dr Xiao, next time I will find out the details of the person, and then I will introduce you. Otherwise, who would I be?"

Speaking of Fang Ying, Yin Xiaoli was furious. This person is also a friend of her friend. I have seen photos. He looks really good. His appearance is barely worthy of Muzhenxi. His career is not bad. There are not many but the job is stable, so I asked Mu Zhenxi to meet her.The first time we met... Of course we didn't fall in love. We met several times, and after a few months, Muzhenxi said we were together.

Yin Xiaoli was so happy, and celebrated her getting out of the singles. Unexpectedly, the good times didn't last long. After half a year, Mu Zhenxi told her to break up.

Yin Xiaoli: "???"

Yin Xiaoli leaned on the sofa, and mentioned that she was still angry with Tianling Gai a year ago: "You are obedient to her, why should she break up?"

Mu Zhenxi wasn't angry, seeing Yin Xiaoli so angry, he just smiled: "Didn't everyone tell me that I'm busy with work, so I broke up if I couldn't get along. I remember you had a boyfriend who broke up because you were too busy?"

Yin Xiaoli said: "That's different, I'm really busy, and I just wanted to break up, I didn't want to talk to him, I just pretended to be busy."

Muzhenxi clicked his tongue twice, deliberately teasing her: "What a scum."

Yin Xiaoli readily admitted: "I'm a scum, I'm a scum, and I don't deny it. Fang...ah bah, I don't even want to say her name, you are busy, but you have to accompany me, sleepy I almost fell asleep and still thinking about finding my girlfriend. In the evening, I will make an appointment for dinner after work normally, and I will make an appointment for supper when I work overtime, and it will be delivered to my door. If you have time on weekends, I will take her out shopping and watching movies. There is also a self-driving tour, you take me out Have you ever swam? Don't say we haven't seen each other for a week, even if the interval of three days hasn't exceeded, it's almost cohabitation."

Muzhenxi laughed and said, "Why do you know better than me?"

A year has passed, and she has long forgotten some details. It was meant to be together when it was suitable, and to be separated if it was not suitable.

Yin Xiaoli glanced at her and said, "Did you forget that I'm tracking the news in real time?"

Muzhenxi touched his nose: "I really forgot."

Yin Xiaoli changed her position on the sofa, pursed her lower lip, and said, "Actually, there is one more thing. You just broke up. I was afraid that you would be sad, so I didn't tell you. Later, I saw that you were doing well, so I didn't bother to talk about it." .”

Wooden Sleeper Creek was curious: "What's the matter?"

Yin Xiaoli sneered and said, "Last October, I saw her with a man, hooking shoulders and kissing."

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "..."

Yin Xiaoli said: "I guess I cheated on you before, so I broke up with you."

Mu Zhenxi frowned, and whispered in disapproval: "There is no evidence, so it's not good to say that?" A breakup is a breakup, and right and wrong behind the scenes are always bad.

Yin Xiaoli curled her lips coldly, and said: "I have evidence, isn't she my friend's friend? When the man chased her, he lied to her that he was a rich man. She was moved and gave up on you, a small man. Changed to a big money. Who knew the big money was fake, she was fooled, and remembered your kindness, a stupid person like you who has a lot of money and is gentle and considerate, can’t be found with a lantern, missed this village There will be no more shops here. I guess she herself is a bit desperate, she dares to look for you when she is drunk, next time she looks for you, you call me, see if I don't go up and slap her to death."

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "..."

Fortunately, she didn't say that she sent Fang Ying home last night, otherwise Yin Xiaoli might have slapped her in the face with her big mouth now.

Yin Xiaoli hated her soft-hearted the most, especially when she was soft-hearted where she shouldn't be, and could really come up and beat her up when she was in a hurry.

Yin Xiaoli looked her up and down: "I think you're a bit of a loser. You're young, beautiful, and rich, but once or twice you meet someone who's not nice. Not only do you want to rob women, but also men. It's really not easy. Do you know what I regret the most now?"

Wooden Sleeper Creek asked, "What?"

Yin Xiaoli said something surprising: "I didn't persuade you to sleep with her."

Wooden Sleeper Creek choked.

Yin Xiaoli said: "Really, how much money, how much time and energy have you spent dating her for half a year, she patted her ass and left, and you left nothing behind. If you slept back then, at least you can get back Erben."

Mu Zhenxi felt that she was being unreasonable, and said absurdly, "Do you have a boyfriend just to sleep with someone else?"

Yin Xiaoli said righteously and strictly: "Yeah, if I don't sleep with him, what am I going to do with this boyfriend? Put it at home as a decoration? It's useless."

Muzhenxi waved his hands again and again, not agreeing.

She is still very conservative in matters of love, holding hands, hugging, kissing, step by step, every step has to be emotional, and then it will happen naturally.As for Xiao Jin...

Muzhenxi's eyes were dim, and he looked down at the bottom of the cup.

Xiao Jin is a special case that cannot be defined by any rules and progress.When she came, it was vigorous and vigorous, and in her heart, it grew freely like weeds, like the sun, strong and bright, making people irresistible; when she left, it also took away all the colors and temperatures overnight.

Yin Xiaoli knocked on the table with a glass of water, calling back Muzhenxi from trance.

"What shall we have for dinner?"

Muzhenxi looked at the sky, it was getting dark, and said, "How about hot pot?"

"Arrangement." Yin Xiaoli made an "ok" gesture.

Muzhenxi went to the garage of the community to drive. When she turned on the navigation, she paused her fingers, zoomed out the map with two fingers, and glanced at the community where she originally lived in the upper right corner of the map.

Yin Xiaoli fastened her seat belt and urged: "Is it alright, I'm going to starve to death."

Muzhenxi moved his finger down and clicked start, and a mechanical female voice sounded in the car.

Yin Xiaoli skillfully turned on the music in the Mushuixi car. She didn't like jazz, so she changed the album playlist and listened to heavy metal rock.Muzhenxi's album was prepared just for her, and Muzhenxi's brain ached when listening to it along the way.

But Yin Xiaoli shook her head and wanted to chat with her: "Hey, last time you asked me for the link, did you buy the props? Is it useful?"

Muzhenxi stared forward with both eyes, and said calmly: "I didn't buy it, I copied the scriptures later, and the effect is quite obvious."

Yin Xiaoli held her breath for a second and burst into laughter.

Muzhenxi blushed from her laughter: "Is it that funny?"

Yin Xiaoli was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, hahahahahaha, I've never heard of older young women relying on copying scriptures to abstain from sex. You really don't want to learn from me? I'll find you a safe one, pay attention to hygiene, and make an appointment. problematic."

Sleeper Creek: "No."

Yin Xiaoli felt her determination, sighed regretfully, and said, "Then I can only wish you to find the right girl as soon as possible."

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "I would like to borrow your good words."

Yin Xiaoli: "Hahahahaha."

After a while, she said again: "Is someone like you called Tongzi Ji? I'm talking about the Ji next to the girl, Ji Wuming from Wulin rumors, the one who was said to be dead by Lu Xiucai, you know, right?" ? That Ji."

Small veins danced happily on the forehead of Wooden Sleeper Creek.

Yin Xiaoli laughed wildly.

At the red light, Muzhenxi stepped on the brakes and stared at her murderously.

Yin Xiaoli hesitated for a second, licked her lips, and praised her face: "Well, it's good to be clean, there are not many young people like you now." She made a fist gesture towards Muzhenxi very flamboyantly, Sister Zhiling said, "Xixi, come on."

Muzhenxi couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Shut up."

***

Xiao Jin stood there, staring at the post-it note left by Muzhenxi for a long time, lowered her head, pressed a gentle kiss on the signature, folded it neatly in half, and put it in her wallet.

She checked the house inside and out, and found that the wooden sleeper creek was very clean, and nothing was left, including the daily necessities that Xiao Jin deliberately wrote down before, and they were probably packed and thrown away, and they were not thrown away. downstairs.Before going upstairs, Xiao Jin had already looked at the trash can in front of the building.

Finally, Xiao Jin found a hair belonging to Muzhenxi in the washbasin. Muzhenxi's hair only reached the collarbone, and the color was also different from hers. It was a warm light chestnut. Xiao Jin put that hair into a transparent Seal the bag and put it in your bag.

That night, she clicked on the chat dialog box with Muzhenxi, bit her lower lip with her teeth, then let go, repeated several times, and finally closed it.

Not surprisingly, Wooden Sleeper Creek should have blocked her.

Xiao Jin folded her hands, put her pillow behind her head, looked at the ceiling above her head, and thought: What does Muzhenxi think about every night when he lies here?Was there a moment when you thought of yourself?Do you remember happiness, or pain?It must be more painful.

She opened her eyes and sighed.

The phone beside the pillow buzzed.

It couldn't be Muzhenxi, Xiao Jin brought it over unhurriedly, and connected it after seeing the caller ID clearly, with a slight smile on his eyes, and said warmly, "Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

"It's not sudden. I'm going to China this weekend. I have a financing project to discuss. Will you pick me up at the airport?"

"What day? What time?"

"Let me take a look." There paused for a while, and said, "Beijing time, Sunday, three o'clock in the afternoon, are you free? If I'm not free, I'll go there by myself, and you send me the address."

"available."

"Then see you on Sunday. It's getting late for you. Go to bed first. Good night."

"Good night."

Xiao Jin hung up the phone.

The caller was Qi Yin, a Chinese American, a Wall Street elite, her friend abroad, and the only person who knew her situation over the years.Although Qi Yin and her views on this matter are completely different, even completely contrary to her, but it does not prevent her from being a good listener.

Qi Yin came, even if he didn't stay for a long time, Xiao Jin still felt that his isolated life seemed to have an extra pillar.

Xiao Jin only stayed at Muzhenxi's house for one night, and returned to the house she rented the next day. Without Muzhenxi, that house meant nothing to her, but she would renew the lease with the landlord. If Wooden Sleeper Creek is willing to come back one day.

At 02:30 on Sunday afternoon, Xiao Jin arrived at the pick-up gate where the international flight arrived.

At ten past three, a tall, supermodel mixed-race woman appeared in front of her with a suitcase, and Qi Yin took off the sunglasses that could cover most of her face, revealing her deep and bright facial features. He opened the trolley of the suitcase, smiled and hugged Xiao Jin.

"Long time no see, Xiao."

"Long time no see." Xiao Jin hugged her back.

Qi Yin let go of her shoulders, rejected Xiao Jin's hand to help her pull the suitcase, and asked, "Are you here by car?"

"Correct."

"lead the way."

Qi Yin's vigorous and resolute style was brought from work to life.

Xiao Jin shrugged her shoulders, as if she was used to it, without talking nonsense, and led her the way with a smile.

One walked in front, and the other followed behind. Qi Yin had tall legs and long legs, and took extra large steps. He deliberately smiled and urged her: "Hurry up."

Xiao Jin turned to stare at her.

Qi Yin slowed down his steps, and after a while, he reverted to his old ways.

The two of them didn't talk too much. When they got in the car, Xiao Jin opened the passenger door, and Qi Yin sat in the back seat. She had to use her laptop to reply to work emails, and it was inconvenient to sit in the front.

One was driving and the other was working behind the scenes. In the car, only the melodious blues and jazz came from the stereo.

When he got downstairs in the community, Qi Yin looked up, with a thoughtful expression.

"Qi Yin?" Xiao Jin, who had already walked a few steps in front of her, turned her head.

Qi Yin followed her to swipe the elevator card to go upstairs.

When entering the door lock code, Qi Yin took a special look and twitched his eyebrows.

"Come in." Xiao Jin took a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them in front of her friend.

Qi Yin walked back and forth in the room with his arms folded, and finally commented: "Not bad."

Xiao Jin poured water in the kitchen, heard the sound and replied with a smile: "I decided after looking at it for a long time."

Xiao Jin put the water on the coffee table, and the bottom of the cup fell on the glass, making a light knocking sound.Qi Yin glanced at the coffee table, Xiao Jin understood, opened the drawer and took out an ashtray.

Qi Yin took out a pack of Ms. cigarettes from the bag, and skillfully put one in his mouth without taking it back, then handed it to Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin waved her hand: "Quit."

Qi Yin raised his eyebrows in surprise: "When?"

Xiao Jin smiled: "Before returning to China."

Qi Yin nodded, put the lid on the cigarette case, put it back in the bag, lit the cigarette by himself, and the thin white smoke lingered around his lips.

Xiao Jin's throat was a little itchy, she took a sip of water, and then looked away.

The slender cigarette between Qi Yin's fingers was half lit, Xiao Jin got up and went to the refrigerator to get two cans of wine, opened one of them, and drank slowly.

Qi Yin knocked the ashtray on the edge of the ashtray, exhaled a puff of white mist, and asked her after a while, "You have even rented a house when you return to China. How long do you plan to stay? When will you return to the United States?"

Xiao Jin took a deep breath: "I'm not going back."

Qi Yin didn't understand: "Huh?"

Xiao Jin's fingers holding the can tightly, lowered her eyes, and smiled slowly.

"If you're here, at least...you can get closer to her."
