be safe

Xiao Jin gave all the chocolate to Qi Yin, and the two divided the rest of the cake.

She stopped muttering about Xiao Jin's grievances, but she was still a little angry and went back to her room early.

Xiao Jin made a glass of milk and knocked on the door.

Qi Yin's voice was cold: "Please come in."

Xiao Jin pushed the door open, smiled at Qi Yin's cold face, and raised the milk glass in his hand: "Do you want it?"

Qi Yin said, "No."

Duplicity.Xiao Jin said heartily, and put the milk on her table.

Qi Yin brought it over and took a sip.

Xiao Jin didn't leave, but put one hand on the table, half leaned down, looked at her gently, and said, "First of all, thank you for your kindness, I know you are doing it for my own good."

Qi Yin: "Hmph."

Xiao Jin smiled and continued: "But the things between the two of us are not that simple. There are still many things you don't know. You can't tell who is right and who is wrong, and who comes first."

Qi Yin said angrily: "I asked you but you refused to tell me."

Xiao Jin said: "Because there is really nothing to say."

"..." Qi Yin drank two mouthfuls of milk, calmed himself down, and said, "Okay, I won't ask you anymore, do you think you are happy now?"

Xiao Jin said without thinking: "Happy."

Qi Yin made an "ok" gesture, turned his eyes back to the laptop in front of him, and issued the order to evict the guest with a sullen face: "I have to work."

Xiao Jin said, "I'll take you out to eat mapo tofu tomorrow."

Qi Yin turned around and clicked his tongue, and said, "Don't think that you can buy me off like this."

Xiao Jin put his hands on her shoulders, and said in a soft tone: "How can this be called bribery, this is called the friendship of the host that should be done."

Qi Yinsi was taken away for a second and asked, "What is the host?"

Xiao Jin explained to her what a host is, and went out without disturbing her work.

She sat by the bay window for a while as usual, stretched her waist when she got up, and went back to the bedroom to check Muzhenxi's Weibo. She didn't know where she went today. It was almost twelve o'clock, and there was no activity all day.

Muzhenxi’s Weibo name Da Lala wrote her birthday, and the program automatically posted a Weibo wishing her a happy birthday. There were thousands of comments below, all of which wished her well. Xiao Jin followed suit and posted one, but She knew that Wooden Sleeper Creek probably wouldn't read it.

Mu Zhenxi usually does not post frequently, and only posts when she draws a picture. It is not every day that she posts something personal, but Xiao Jin just has a kind of intuition. She leans on the bedside to read a book, waits, and glances at her phone from time to time.

At one minute to twelve, the screen lit up as expected.

【#十年#[image]】

This time there is no word, only a picture, a girl in school uniform, with a ball head, cream on her fingers, with a mischievous smile, about to wipe it off the face of the person in front of her.

The other person is not drawn, but from the loving eyes of the person who has been drawn, it can be seen that the opposite person should be someone she likes.

The commentary practice below praises fairy paintings.

A comment associated this painting with the two she painted a while ago, and asked: Are these three paintings the same person?Is it my sister herself?

Wood Sleeper Creek did not respond to any messages.

Xiao Jin liked this comment.

As a supervisor, Yin Xiaoli was once again dissatisfied with seeing Muzhenxi stay up all night. At twelve o'clock sharp, she went to knock on the door of the study room, and when she raised her hand, Muzhenxi came out from inside.

Yin Xiaoli raised the phone's Weibo interface: "Did you finish the painting?"

As the number one supporter of Muzhenxi, and the biggest contributor to her motivation to embark on this path, of course there is Muzhenxi's Weibo.It's just that Mu Zhenxi doesn't like to reveal too much personal information on Weibo, and the two of them haven't interacted in public, but Yin Xiaoli knows exactly what she posted.

Since she reunited with Xiao Jin, she was entangled at first, then paralyzed herself, and now she seems to be enlightened, amusing herself.Even though Yin Xiaoli had a lot of experience in relationships, she couldn't understand what she meant by that.

Muzhenxi moved his wrist and raised his chin towards the bathroom: "Shall I take a shower?"

Yin Xiaoli said: "Don't take a bath yet."

Muzhenxi raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

Yin Xiaoli pointed to the picture in the middle of the screen: "Is this who?" She didn't say Xiao Jin's name, fearing that it would hurt her, so she only used pronouns.

Mu Zhenxi said calmly: "Yes, it's Xiao Jin."

Yin Xiaoli asked: "Then this is what you drew?"

Muzhenxi said: "She celebrated my birthday when I was a sophomore in high school."

Yin Xiaoli said: "Do you remember so clearly?"

Muzhenxi smiled: "I just remember a hairstyle, I made up the others, and there seems to be a thing about applying cream." She suddenly said, "It doesn't seem to be a school uniform, but a special dress." Then she shrugged , said indifferently, "But it's not important anymore."

Yin Xiaoli seemed to be thinking about it a little bit, she frowned and looked at her: "Are you completely letting go?"

Muzhenxi said "uh": "Yes, and no."

Yin Xiaoli: "???" She had a premonition that she couldn't understand what Mu Zhenxi said next.

It is rare for Muzhenxi to be merciful, and she said frankly: "I still love her, but I don't have the urge to be with her anymore. Maybe I will meet again one day in the future, and I can nod and say hello, or maybe, I will become friend."

Yin Xiaoli: "But if the two of you still have feelings, you can't become pure friends, right?"

Muzhenxi laughed: "It's good to let nature take its course, how can I say how I feel in the future now."

Yin Xiaoli asked: "If a long time later, you are unmarried, she is unmarried, both of them are single, and you haven't forgotten each other, would you still consider being with her?"

Muzhenxi thought about it seriously for a while, and said, "I don't know."

Yin Xiaoli narrowed her eyes.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Muzhenxi said, "I'm really going to take a bath."

Yin Xiaoli waved her hand to express her agreement.

Yin Xiaoli sat down by the coffee table, thought for a moment, then opened the notebook that had been shut down, and searched for the topic: Why can't two people who are clearly in love be together?

It listed a series of couples who broke up due to reality and other reasons. Yin Xiaoli scanned them at a glance, and finally saw an answer: there is no one who loves each other that can't be together, but they just don't have enough courage and trust to go on; There is also a possibility that one party loves the other party too much, and cannot bear to let the other party suffer along with him, and wants her to live better, such as a terminally ill person who is dying soon.

Yin Xiaoli: "..."

She remembered Xiao Jin's smile and back view last time.

When Muzhenxi came out of the bathroom wiping her hair, she heard Yin Xiaoli's eager voice: "Muzhenxi, when was your last physical examination?"

Muzhenxi is the company's unified medical examination. She recalled: "In the first half of this year, what happened?"

Yin Xiaoli: "Show me the physical examination report."

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "???"

Yin Xiaoli: "Stop the ink, show me."

Mu Zhenxi went back to the study, and found her the medical report from the cabinet, and Yin Xiaoli directly drew it to the final conclusion, except for a little irregular heartbeat, there was nothing wrong with it.

Yin Xiaoli heaved a sigh of relief, and then her heart started to lift again. Muzhenxi is fine, but will Xiao Jin...

She frightened herself half to death by relying on brain supplementation.

Last time, I made a report on the human world, in which the main character was a terminally ill patient.

Muzhenxi reached out and touched her forehead: "What's wrong with you? Why is your face so pale?"

Yin Xiaoli: "No, it's nothing, you can go to sleep."

Muzhenxi asked with concern: "Is it really all right?"

Yin Xiaoli said: "It's okay." After a pause, she pretended to be casual and asked, "Is Xiao Jin teaching at Lincheng University?"

Wooden Sleeper Creek said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Yin Xiaoli continued to ask: "Teach what?"

"It seems to be more literary." Mu Zhenxi looked at her suspiciously, "Why are you asking this?"

Yin Xiaoli made up an excuse and said, "Oh, I might have to go to her school for an interview recently, so let me just ask."

Wooden Sleeper Creek is skeptical.

Yin Xiaoli urged: "Go to bed quickly, it's so late, or you'll vomit blood again."

"..." Muzhenxi said, "I told you, it was an accident last time, I didn't stay up all night to vomit blood." Since Yin Xiaoli became her supervisor, she always threatened her with vomiting blood.

Yin Xiaoli: "It doesn't matter, staying up late is prone to sudden death, it's always true, hurry up and sleep."

Muzhenxi murmured, as if complaining to her, and went back to bed honestly.

Yin Xiaoli arranged going to Lincheng University into her plan. If Xiao Jin really had some terminal illness, and Mu Zhenxi didn't even see him for the last time, it would be too miserable. Wouldn't it be regrettable for the rest of his life.

Yin Xiaoli sees her current state pretty much. She probably wants to love but dare not love and cannot love. She has scruples. No matter whether she will fall in love with someone else in the future or get back together with Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin can't do it. Became a thorn in her heart, tossing her for ten years, Yan Xiaoli dare not think about parting.

Lying on the sofa, she felt that she was not a friend of Muzhenxi, but rather like her mother. She seemed quite proud of having such a daughter, and she amused herself thinking about it.

Not long after the weather turned cooler, Lidong arrived.There are many trees in Lincheng, and the leaves are magnificent when they fall, and the ground is golden.Both sides of the road in the community have not been cleared for the time being, and there is a thick layer.

Muzhenxi buttoned two buttons of the windbreaker in front of him, stepped on the fallen leaves with the thin soles of his boots, and made a crisp sound under his feet.She liked this sound, so she slowed down a lot, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips naturally.

He walked to the gate in a good mood, took his hand out of the windbreaker pocket, and swiped the access control card.Raising his eyes inadvertently, a white BMW passed by on the road in front of the community, leaving a lingering image in his retina.

Sleeper Creek ran almost immediately to look at the car's license plate.Nai He was too far away, and there happened to be a traffic light corner ahead. The car turned right from the corner, and only had time to catch the flashing right turn signal.

Muzhenxi was short of breath, and quickly turned back to the security booth and asked, "Master, does the car that just drove past belong to our community?"

The security guard asked, "Which car?"

Sleeper Creek: "Just that white BMW, the sedan."

The security guard still had an impression of the car that just drove past, and said, "Yes, I just saw it came out of the underground garage." The entrance to the underground garage of the community is next to the security booth, separated by a distance of two meters.

Muzhenxi asked, "What's the license plate number?"

The security guard said, "I don't know about that."

Muzhenxi took a deep breath and changed the question: "Is the driver male or female?"

The security guard said, "It seems to be a woman."

Muzhenxi's heart trembled violently, and she couldn't suppress the violent heartbeat. An emotion that she didn't know how to describe engulfed her.

Xiao Jin lives in this community?Could there be such a coincidence in the world?She changed her address specially to stay away from her, and it turned out to be her neighbor?

Muzhenxi couldn't laugh or cry.

But this is just a suspicion, and Wood Sleeper Creek cannot be sure.

"Sister Mu, you seem to be in a good mood today?" During the lunch break, the editor girl stood up from her seat, stretched her waist, poked her head over the partition of the desk, and asked suspiciously.

"Why do you see that?" Muzhenxi locked the screen of the computer, pressed the armrest of the office chair and turned half a circle, raising his eyebrows at her.

The editor girl clicked her tongue and said, "Look, you're already like this, aren't you in a good mood?" She made a joke, and said in a drawn-out tone, "The heart of spring is rippling~ah."

Mu Zhenxi couldn't control the corners of his mouth that rose, so he simply couldn't control it, and came out from behind the desk: "I'm really in a good mood, I'll treat you to a big meal at noon."

Editor girl Xing Xingyan: "What to eat?"

Muzhenxi touched her head and smiled: "Eat the cafeteria, swipe my card."

Girl: "..."

"I'm teasing you." Muzhenxi laughed, put his hands in his pockets, and took the lead in spreading his long legs, "Let's go to the restaurant, you can choose whatever is nearby."

The girl immediately smiled and trotted after him.

"Go slowly."

Muzhenxi slowed down, leaned against the wall and waited for her with a smile.The editor's sister is less than 160 tall, with short legs, and her nickname is Corgi.

Corgi slaughtered Muzhenxi, and Muzhenxi paid her bills without blinking an eye. In recent years, she has earned a lot and spent little, especially when she received project bonuses, she has saved a lot of money. wealth.

But on the way back, Mu Zhenxi suddenly calculated her savings in her heart. Although the housing price in Lincheng is not as high as that of going north, it is not low. If she plans to buy a house, she will be a little tight on money.

In the future, it is better to save some money, Mu Zhenxi made a decision in her heart, especially not to treat people to dinner extravagantly, her biggest monthly expense besides the rent is to treat Yin Xiaoli to eat.The salary of Yin Xiaoli's job can barely cover her own food and clothing, and she has to buy cosmetics, all kinds of waves, it's a moonlight, when the two of them go out to eat, it's mostly Muzhen Creek treats, and they go to some cheap places.Yin Xiaoli has helped her a lot, and the relationship between the two of them is very good. It can't be saved on her, but it can be saved on others.

In the future, I can't talk about casually eating a big meal like this.Sleeper Creek Reflects.

"Buying a house?" Yin Xiaoli was startled, "Big rich man, why are you so stimulated?"

Muzhenxi sat on the sofa peeling oranges, glanced at her lightly, and said, "I wanted to buy a house before, and it's not like I never told you."

Yin Xiaoli: "That's right, but the house you wanted to buy before..." Didn't you cancel the lease when it expired? She frowned, "Are you planning to move back?"

Muzhenxi said: "No." She felt a little uneasy for no reason, cleared her throat, and speeded up her speech, and said, "The house can be found again, can't it be just me?"

Yin Xiaoli said in a daze, "That's the truth, but where do you want to buy it? Do you have a plan?"

"..." Muzhenxi gave her the peeled orange and clapped her hands, "Well, I'm going to the study to draw."

Yin Xiaoli looked at her back: "Hey, finish your sentence."

What are you doing, there is no beginning and no end, and it is inexplicable.

Mu Zhenxi didn't know what was wrong with her, just because she saw Xiao Jin's car, no, it was just suspected to be Xiao Jin's car, she began to have all kinds of abnormalities, thinking about a lot of things, it turned out to be a bit like first love when.

Are you crazy?

Sleeper Creek asked himself.

Sitting at the desk to draw, at first I wanted to draw a strange beast, but the strange beast grew a face of Xiao Jin, Mu Zhenxi stared at the painting for 5 minutes, and saved it in the hard drive.

Afterwards, he submerged his thoughts and concentrated on his work.

From that day on, Muzhenxi walked in the community, always paying attention to the people coming and going around him, with a little expectation and a little fear.She made several assumptions about the possible encounter.

Hello, long time no see.

you live here too?What a coincidence.

Passing each other like two strangers?

Or look at each other in pairs, standing silently.

But when that day came, there was only a blank in Muzhenxi's brain.

It was the evening of the winter solstice.

Muzhenxi declined a friend's kind invitation. On his way home from get off work, he went to the supermarket to buy a bag of quick-frozen dumplings, planning to cook them at home.She didn't pay much attention to this custom, and couldn't hold back Yin Xiaoli's ten text messages a day reminding her: Remember to eat dumplings, remember to eat dumplings, remember to eat dumplings.

After Muzhenxi's burn was healed, Yin Xiaoli moved away from her house. It's one thing to be friends, but it's another thing to live together all the time. The two have different living habits, and Yin Xiaoli doesn't like to be with others either. live together.Muzhenxi could barely accept her, but he couldn't accept her taking her boyfriend home, so they went back to their respective homes.Yin Xiaoli is staying with her parents in her hometown right now, and she can't spend the winter solstice with Muzhenxi.

After buying the dumplings, Muzhenxi obediently called the old mother to report: "The dumplings are ready."

Yin Xiaoli asked: "What brand is it?"

Muzhenxi looked at the packaging: "Wanchai Wharf."

Yin Xiaoli is over there hahahaha.

Wooden Sleeper Creek said, "I'm going to cross the road."

Yin Xiaoli said: "Then you cross the road and hang up, remember to take a photo for me when it's cooked, I want to check."

Muzhenxi called her: "You are more grandma than my grandma."

Yin Xiaoli said earnestly, "I'm here to prevent you from vomiting blood again..."

Muzhenxi's goosebumps were about to rise, so she quickly interrupted her: "Ah, I really crossed the road, bye, Ma Ma."

Yin Xiaoli couldn't stop laughing, and said, "Good girl goose."

Muzhenxi hung up the phone and followed other pedestrians across the road when the light turned green, laughing all the way.

There is a 24-hour convenience store a few meters away from the entrance of the community, with a transparent glass door, and there are not many customers. When Muzhenxi passed by, I glanced inside and was stunned on the spot.

A pedestrian following her didn't pay attention to her and suddenly stopped, bumped into her shoulder, and hissed.

Muzhenxi stared at the figure in the convenience store, and said mechanically, "I'm sorry."

Pedestrians passed her and left.

Sleeper Creek is still in place.

Xiao Jin looked at the message sent by her mother on the phone and curled her lips coldly.

[Today's winter solstice, remember to eat dumplings]

Because of this text message, she got up from the underground garage where the car was parked and went into a nearby convenience store.

Xiao Jin returned the phone to the main interface, clicked on Alipay, and handed a bag of dumplings to the cashier at the counter, who dripped it for her, put the dumplings into a plastic bag, and smiled politely: "Please go slowly. "

Xiao Jin retracted her phone, turned around, and met another pair of eyes unexpectedly.

She stared fixedly at the other party, the plastic bag hooked on her fingertips slid down and landed at her feet with a bang, and she couldn't remember to pick it up for a while.

The teller gave her a strange look and reminded, "Miss?"

Xiao Jin stared at Muzhenxi for a long time through a door.

Muzhenxi wanted to go, but his feet seemed to be rooted, firmly fixed there.

Xiao Jin came out. She was wearing a dark blue satin over-the-knee trench coat today. The fabric was soft and light-colored, and the cuffs were rolled up a bit, revealing her slender and fair wrists. As she approached her, her eyes were extremely gentle. Looking at her intently, he took the initiative to say, "What a coincidence."

Muzhenxi's fingers in his pocket trembled slightly, and in his brain that was on the verge of crashing, he struggled to extract a sentence, and said dryly: "What a coincidence."

Xiao Jin looked around, seemed to deduce the reason why she appeared here, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Wooden Sleeper Creek said, "Go home."

Xiao Jin asked in surprise, "Do you live near here?"

Muzhen Xixin said that I should live in the same community as you.

She smiled, pointed to the gate of the community next to her, and said politely, "I live here."

Xiao Jin knew it a long time ago, but at this moment she still couldn't help her heart beat faster, but in order not to reveal her joy in front of Muzhenxi, she could only tighten her jawline and endure it.

Muzhenxi looked at her expression that became complicated in an instant, and thought to himself: Could it be that she is not happy?

Xiao Jin calmed down, smiled, and said, "I live here too."

Muzhenxi almost calmed down, and said to her again: "What a coincidence."

The two stood stupidly in the cold wind for a while, Xiao Jin's eyes fell on the plastic bag in her hand, he cleared his throat, and said, "Have you gone to buy dumplings?"

Muzhenxi then looked down at her hand: "You bought it too?"

Xiao Jin said, "Yes."

The word "what a coincidence" came to Muzhenxi's mind again, but it had appeared three times in the few short sentences they had just talked, and she was afraid that she would not be able to help laughing.

Muzhenxi changed the phrase: "Yin Xiaoli urged me to buy it."

Xiao Jin said: "My mother reminded me."

They looked at each other and smiled, and turned their eyes away.

It's not a problem to stand here, Muzhenxi didn't look her in the eyes, and suggested: "Go back?"

Xiao Jin nodded: "Okay."

So one of them carried a bag of dumplings and walked back, with a distance of one person between them, talking one after another.

Wooden Sleeper Creek asked, "Have you lived here before?"

Xiao Jin hummed, and said softly: "I lived here when I returned to China, and I think the environment here is good."

Muzhenxi took a breath, looked up at the green plants, and said, "I think so too."

Xiao Jin paused, and asked in a normal tone: "Which building do you live in?"

Wooden Sleeper Creek said: "Building 17."

Before Muzhenxi could ask, Xiao Jin said first, "I live in Building 2."
