be safe

After taking a bath, Xiao Jin slowly gave herself a full-body care. While applying body lotion, the old god was thinking: Do you want to go to a spa again?

She gave herself the courage to let her thoughts fly wild, maybe she could invite Muzhenxi to do it together?It's not too much for female friends to make an appointment to have a spa together, right?

She has received the signal sent to her by Wood Sleeper Creek, and she is willing to start over with herself. Although it may take some time to reach the result of being together, Xiao Jin is not afraid to wait. She has a lifetime, and she even feels that these three months The progress to come is unbelievably fast.

Did Wooden Sleeper Creek change his mind so easily?Had she known this earlier, shouldn't she have appeared earlier?

But now it is meaningless to think about these past events. Xiao Jin is very contented, very contented, so contented that she can laugh out loud in her dreams.

Sleeper Creek.

Sleeper Creek.

"Wooden Sleeper Creek."

She was chanting the name of Muzhenxi in her heart, but she still felt that it was not enough, and she had to say it aloud, and let out a silly laugh from time to time, and then she was frightened by herself in the empty bedroom, and laughed for a long time.

She really wanted to hear the voice of Muzhenxi, a voice that exudes sexual indifference but is not indifferent at all, awkward and moving.

Xiao Jin turned off the hair dryer, touched her half-dried hair, and felt that thinking about the wooden pillow creek probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep for a short time. She wandered around the bed for a while, and found a corner of the phone under the pillow.

Press the screen to show that there is a missed call.

Before unlocking, Xiao Jin didn't take it seriously at all, she was still smiling, in the era of WeChat, few people call anymore, most of them are scammers like borrowing money, Xiao Jin thought happily: The scammers nowadays are too It's not easy to work hard even in the middle of the night.

After unlocking, there was an eye-catching message sign "1" in the upper right corner of the phone icon. She clicked on it. In the most recent call, Muzhenxi's name was marked in red—this meant that the caller was Muzhenxi, and she did not answer it.

Haha, Muzhenxi called her, but she didn't answer.

The thought ran through his mind again.

She didn't receive it?

Xiao Jin's smile immediately froze on his face, and then gradually disappeared.

Xiao Jin: "???"

She rubbed her eyes, not knowing whether she wanted the missed call to be a hallucination or real before letting go of her hands.

Hands down, it's true.

Xiao Jin: "..."

She, to, end, wrong, passed, got, what, what!

***

Muzhenxi adjusted the wind speed to medium speed, drowsily blowing her hair, and put her mobile phone in the most conspicuous place on the bedside table, let alone the phone, as soon as the screen turned on, she could answer the call immediately.

She had a glimmer of hope, if Xiao Jin could call back while she was blowing her hair, she might be merciful and let the past go, after all, Xiao Jin said today that she wanted to marry her, for the sake of this sentence , I am willing to give her one more chance.

The hair was dried, and it would catch fire any more. Muzhenxi turned the wind to the lowest setting, held the hair dryer in one hand, and reached for the phone with the other, but there was still no call.

Muzhenxi inhale and exhale, repeat three times to calm down.

She finally turned off the hair dryer, announced the end of the call back time for Xiao Jin, lay down under the quilt, and turned the phone to silent mode.If Xiao Jin calls again, she won't be able to hear it, so it can't be regarded as a deliberate refusal, Mu Zhenxi persuaded herself like this.

Muzhenxi bent his elbows on the pillow, turned off the desk lamp with one hand, and was about to go to sleep, when the screen of his mobile phone, which was dark in the morning and dark in the evening, turned on at this moment.

As expected, the caller ID is Xiao Jin.

Muzhenxi snorted inwardly, turned on the desk lamp again, sat cross-legged on the bed, put the phone on his lap, stared at the name with his eyes, and waited quietly for the call to hang up automatically.

Xiao Jin didn't answer her phone once, and she didn't answer Xiao Jin's phone once, it's fair.

If the other party calls a second time, she will consider whether to answer it.

"Sorry, no one is answering the number you dialed, please dial later..." Before the Chinese female voice switched to English, Xiao Jin quickly hung up, and dialed the second number.

Looking at Mu Zhenxi who returned to the main interface for a few seconds and then quickly jumped back to the incoming call interface: "..."

She picked up the phone, carefully avoided the answer button, lay down on her side, buried half of her face in the pillow, thought about it, and felt that it was not enough, so she turned a little more, and her lips touched the pillow before she answered it with a swipe of her finger. stand up.

Thank goodness finally picked up.

Xiao Jin immediately explained: "I'm sorry, I was in the shower just now, and I didn't bring my mobile phone, so I didn't receive the call. I didn't mean it. I made a mistake. It won't happen again next time. Don't be angry with me. "

She spoke out repeatedly, panicking and speaking incoherently, for fear that Muzhenxi would not listen to her and would not understand her intentions.When did you see Dr. Xiao like this?Ten years ago, ten years later, I have never seen it.

Muzhenxi first wanted to laugh when she heard it, but she tried her best to hold it back. After being funny, she felt a warm current pouring into her heart, warm and warm, flowing all over her limbs, which was better than taking a comfortable hot bath in the bathtub. Much more moisturising.

The corners of the eyes and brows unconsciously melted into a smile.

Xiao Jin listened nervously to the voice over there, feeling uneasy and flustered, Muzhenxi didn't make a sound, but didn't hang up either.

After a few seconds, a muffled voice came from the receiver: "I just fell asleep, what's wrong?" Tired, sleepy, with a lazy nasal voice characteristic of deep sleepiness.

Xiao Jin was taken aback: "Are you asleep?"

Muzhenxi suppressed a smile, closed his eyes, buried his face in the pillow even more, and his voice became more and more dull: "Yes, I was woken up by the phone call."

Xiao Jin conditioned reflex: "I'm sorry."

Muzhenxi said, "I'll hang up if there's nothing wrong?"

"Yeah." Xiao Jin subconsciously uttered a word, and immediately said, "It's something."

A fire in Muzhen Creek disappeared before reaching Tianling Gai, and he asked lazily, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Jin: "You...you called me just now, did you have anything to say to me?"

Yes, but not now.Muzhenxi thought to himself.

So she teased her wickedly: "Forgot."

Xiao Jin stammered in a rare way: "Then, can you take the trouble to recall it again?"

Wooden Sleeper Creek almost laughed out loud.

Xiao Jin vaguely caught a trace of laughter, and it disappeared in a flash, like an auditory hallucination.She really wanted to hear Muzhenxi laugh, that's why her ears had hallucinations.

Muzhenxi Naqiao said: "I can't."

Xiao Jin: "Then...then...then..."

She "had" for a long time without any further words, she was so cute that Mu Zhenxi could hardly resist.Mu Zhenxi quickly squeezed the space between his eyebrows to calm himself down, and pretended to be impatient and said: "It's all right, if it's all right, I'll continue to sleep."

Xiao Jin still didn't speak.

Muzhenxi took off the mobile phone stuck to his ear, and was still on the call, feeling inexplicable for a while.

"Go on to sleep." After a long while, Xiao Jin choked out a sentence, "Good night."

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "..."

She was a little annoyed, and simply complied with Xiao Jin's intention: "Good night." The words "good night" were clearly pronounced, completely different from the voice just now.

A flash of light flashed in Xiao Jin's mind, and he quickly said, "Wait!"

The wooden sleeper creek moved away from the hang-up button and asked, "What else can I do?"

Xiao Jin rolled her eyes, and said in a pitiful tone, "Are you awake? It's still early, can you talk to me for a while?"

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "..."

Here we go again, are you sure that you will eat this set, so you won't be fooled?

Words of refusal came to her lips, and Muzhenxi changed a completely different statement by accident: "Yes, but I am adjusting my schedule recently, and I will go to bed soon." She looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table, "10 minutes. "

Xiao Jin laughed silently.

Mingming's heart is extremely soft, and she always pretends to be hard tempered, but this is also good, as there will be less Yingyingyanyan pestering her outside.

Xiao Jin suddenly bit his lower lip again.

She remembered that at the job fair today, Mu Zhenxi was really not very bad-tempered towards others, he was soft-spoken and only indifferent to herself.He also gave a bottle of water to a girl who swallowed frequently, and observed very carefully. She only gave her a bottle of water after being thirsty for so long today, and she didn't even twist the cap for herself.

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "Why don't you talk?"

Xiao Jin suppressed the sourness in her heart, comforted herself that the future would be long, and took a step back, anyway, this is a special treatment.

Xiao Jin regained consciousness and asked, "What do you usually do in the company?"

Xiao Jin used the precious 10 minutes to ask this?

Muzhenxi still answered her: "Do odd jobs."

Xiao Jin was at a loss: "Huh?"

Muzhenxi said: "Just do everything. If they don't know how to do it, they can ask me. If they can't teach me, I can do it myself." Complaining, "You don't know, there are those stupid people who make their heads grow bigger when taught."

Xiao Jin comforted her and said, "Those who are able work harder, it shows that you are good."

Muzhenxi was not comforted at all, and said coldly: "Yeah, so I was exhausted. Last time, there was a girl who drew the original painting in the group. I talked about it ten thousand times during the meeting. What is the style of this character? , I even talked to her in private, just because I was afraid of making a mistake, she understood and understood. I was not satisfied with the drawing, so I called back to change it. I told her why it didn’t work and where it needed to be revised. She thought it was good. The painting was perfect, and it made me angry at the time."

At that time, Mu Zhenxi had just led the art team, and she jumped ship directly. Although she had representative works, she had never seen them with her own eyes. Many people respected them openly, but they didn't admire them secretly.

They are very intuitive in art. If they draw well, they draw well, and if they draw badly, they draw badly. Ability is paramount. The results are clear at a glance, and anyone with eyes can see it. It is useless to be a human being.

Xiao Jin asked, "What happened next?"

Muzhenxi said: "I asked her to stand behind my work station and watch me draw."

Xiao Jin had already guessed the result, and said with a smile, "What about later?"

Muzhenxi revealed a little pride, and said: "Later she honestly went back and changed it."

Xiao Jin cheered and said, "It's amazing."

Mu Zhenxi immediately curled her lips and said, "What's so amazing, the original painting is the initial part. In order to ensure the progress of the project, she delayed the time, so I have to make it up for her."

Xiao Jin said, "Did you draw it yourself?"

Mu Zhenxi: "Otherwise? There are also those who are on sick leave. Our project team is short of manpower, and I have to be on top every time to help catch up with the progress. Do you think it is a handyman?" She looked down at her shoulders. With long hair, she clicked her tongue and said proudly, "It's unbelievable that my hair is still so thick now." She then babbled to Xiao Jin about other people, special effects, scenes, actions, etc. During the development process, there were problems at any time, trivial matters A lot of things.

Before I knew it, I had already chatted for 10 minutes. Most of the time, Muzhenxi was talking and Xiao Jin was listening. Occasionally, I laughed and echoed her, which was very similar to the way they used to get along.

Mu Zhenxi spoke dryly, got up and poured water to drink, only to see the time displayed on the alarm clock on the bedside table.

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "..."

Xiao Jin's expectant voice came from the handset: "Then when will your new game be launched? I want to play it."

Ignoring that half an hour had passed, Muzhenxi pondered: "If it's short, two or three years, if it's long, I don't know."

"so long?"

Muzhenxi smiled: "How can it be so easy to develop a new game? I worked on my last mobile game for a year and a half, and now this one is much more detailed than that one. After two or three years of starting, I don't know anymore." She thought of something, and pursed her lips, "Recently, the game version number is very strict, and there is a lot of turmoil in the industry. It is said that winter is coming, and I don't know what will happen in the future."

Xiao Jin didn't understand this, and was hesitating to say something.

Mu Zhenxi suddenly smiled and said, "Just take care of me now, anyway, the company has to pay me wages, so I won't starve to death."

It is also possible that this project will die halfway, and all efforts will be in vain. It is impossible to say.

Xiao Jin hummed lightly.

Mu Zhenxi suddenly remembered the plan in her mind to go abroad. If Xiao Jin had studied abroad before, she probably wouldn't reject living abroad.This thought only swirled in her mind for a moment, and then pushed it back again. It seemed too early to mention it now.

Muzhenxi sat back on the bed after pouring the water, looked at the time again, and finally decided to terminate the call that had been delayed for too long.

She yawned: "I'm a little sleepy."

Muzhenxi missed a day of work today, and will not be able to work and rest normally for the next week. It is estimated that he will have to stay up for a few days.

Xiao Jin was reluctant to let go, but still said considerately: "Then you go to sleep."

Wooden Sleeper Creek said, "Good night."

Xiao Jin said softly, "Good night."

Muzhenxi was waiting for her to hang up the phone, and Xiao Jin was waiting for her to hang up the phone. After a while, she was still on the phone.

"..." Muzhenxi said into the microphone, "Hang up."

Xiao Jin said, "Okay."

Wooden Sleeper Creek pressed the hang up button.

For tomorrow's work, she didn't dare to let herself think about it, so she hypnotized herself and fell asleep quickly.

Xiao Jin's class on the second day was very loose. She took out the tablet from the drawer of the bedside table and searched the Internet for the game version number restriction. I couldn't play the game, and I was full of expectations.

She got to know it all, and it seemed that it was very serious, so she called a foreign friend of hers.

Xiao Jin knows a lot of people, and there are many circles, people from all walks of life. There are social science doctors who are immersed in academic research like her, and there are Wall Street elites like Qi Yin who walk around the conference table talking and laughing. A friend who makes games, and is a Chinese, works in a world-renowned game company.

It's still daytime abroad, so it can't be said to disturb people's lucid dreams.

The other party was surprised when she received her call, and kept asking her when she would go back. She was so enthusiastic that Xiao Jin's head was so big that he had to tell her a few words before getting to the point.

After the chat, the other party asked teasingly: "Who are you asking for? You asked every detail."

Xiao Jin's voice was cold, and he said without hesitation: "My girlfriend."

There was a sudden silence on the other side.

Xiao Jin: "Hello?"

As if the person on the other side had just realized it, the tone of his voice suddenly rose, and his voice was about to burst: "You have a girlfriend?!"

Xiao Jin smiled: "What are you doing? Are you still planning to chase me?"

The other party: "Not at all, who doesn't know that you are hard to chase, I am too lazy to humiliate myself." After a while, she asked again, "Do you really have a girlfriend? Didn't you lie to me?"

Xiao Jin puzzled, "Why am I lying to you so well?"

After a while, the other party choked out a sentence of "I rely on you" and said, "I'm going to announce to everyone that you have a girlfriend, am I the first to know?" She was very excited.

Xiao Jin thought for a while and said, "It should."

Qi Yin is a trapeze artist who spends half a year flying around the world. Xiao Jin never told her about Muzhenxi's recent situation. She has no habit of reporting to each other. She was happy, and it seemed that she hadn't contacted her for almost a month. The last message still asked her if she had a headache. Xiao Jin said it was much better, and Qi Yin didn't say any more.

The friend who was far away overseas immediately hung up the phone, and it must have been shouting all over the world.

The corners of Xiao Jin's lips curled up, and she raised her thin white finger to touch her brow bone. Anyway, Mu Zhenxi didn't know her foreign friends, and she didn't say Mu Zhenxi's name, so she was "wronged" and Mu Zhenxi said in advance. Take the title of her girlfriend.

Xiao Jin continued to move up with her fingertips, and touched the slight bulge of the left forehead. She paused, as if recalling something, her complexion changed several times, and then her eyes showed a hint of happiness.

She used to worry that Muzhenxi would ask questions when she saw this scar, but Xiao Jin even thought of an excuse to prevaricate, saying that she was accidentally knocked down and hit the corner of the wall, and the scar was left after bleeding and scab. Now it's just right, It overlapped with the wound of the car accident, Mu Zhenxi would not be suspicious at all, nor would he know that he walked through the gate of hell for her back then.

She doesn't need to have any burdens, and she can't have any burdens. Xiao Jin will quietly bury all the things that make her sad, and she will never know about them for the rest of her life.

Muzhenxi only needs to love her and be loved by her.Love her even if you don't love her.

This is Xiao Jin's only wish.

***

Early the next morning, Muzhenxi walked to the open-air cafe. She deliberately went out half an hour earlier than usual, but Xiao Jin came earlier than expected.

The weather is getting warmer and the temperature is rising today. Xiao Jin sat outside in a very conspicuous position. Her dress was more eye-catching. She wore a light pink sweater and a long white skirt without a scarf. Her long hair was parted sideways. There is also a bright pink candy-colored hairpin.

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "!!!"

This is whose high school student is disobedient and ran out to fall in love early.

Before Muzhenxi came to her, Xiao Jin stood up first, staring at her with bright eyes.

From a distance of three steps, she greeted: "Good morning."

Muzhenxi said: "Good morning." The corners of his mouth naturally raised.

She sat down on the seat opposite Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin said: "I haven't ordered food yet, I'm waiting for you to join me." This attitude seemed too rude, Xiao Jin paused, stretched out a hand, and politely re-invited, "This beautiful lady , would it be an honor to have breakfast with you?"

Mu Zhenxi had already sat down, and in order to cooperate with her, she had to stand up again, pretending that she was wearing a long skirt, held up the corner of the skirt as a salute, put her finger on her palm, and said with a smile: "My honor."

Xiao Jin held her arm, asked her to sit down, let go of her hand, and sat down herself.

Muzhenxi stared at her for two seconds, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice, "When you invited me just now, someone walked past behind, looking at us as if you were mentally retarded."

Xiao Jin waved her hands, and said proudly, "Single dogs, you're jealous of us."

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "Hahahaha."

After laughing, I realized that the two of them are also single now?Xiao Jin took advantage of her again, feeling ashamed and annoyed.

Xiao Jin, who succeeded in taking advantage, smiled brightly, and handed over the menu on the table: "Order."

Muzhenxi ordered latte and sponge bread, Xiao Jin shook her head, looked up at her, and sincerely suggested, "Drinking coffee in the morning is not good for your health, why don't you change it to milk?"

Wooden Sleeper Creek has nothing to do: "Well."

Xiao Jin said, "Do you usually drink a lot of coffee when you work overtime?"

This time Wooden Creek nodded, and asked what is the heaviest smell in the office that lasts every day. It's not perfume, it's not flowers, it's coffee.

Xiao Jin said: "Let's use milk to nourish the stomach. Stomach problems are fatal. By the way, do you have stomach problems?"

Mu Zhenxi said: "Fortunately, it's not serious." She does often forget to eat when she is busy, but fortunately, her body is strong enough. Apart from common occupational diseases such as tenosynovitis, she has not made any serious problems.

Xiao Jin completely rejected her coffee, and replaced it with milk on the order bar: "Then it will be more nourishing to the stomach."

Mu Zhenxi couldn't help but said: "Then you still drink often abroad?" Still drunk.

Xiao Jin calmly said: "Isn't it all in the past? I drink milk every night before going to bed." She asked, "Do you drink it?"

Muzhenxi didn't know why she got distracted from drinking milk at night, so she shook her head obediently.

Xiao Jin instructed: "You can cultivate the habit of drinking milk, which is also good for your skin. If your skin is starting to decline like ours, you should pay more attention to maintenance."

Wooden Sleeper Creek nodded in bewilderment.

It must be well maintained.

Xiao Jin ordered two breakfasts, both of which were milk, toasted oatmeal and bread pudding. Xiao Jin had a small appetite, so she cut the food on the two plates with a knife in advance. All to Wooden Sleeper Creek.

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "..."

But when eating the breakfast that belonged to Xiao Jin, there was an imperceptible curvature on the corners of her lips.

The two finished their breakfast and went to the crossroads together. It was still Muzhenxi going to the company, and Xiao Jin going to the subway station.When saying goodbye, Xiao Jin put down the strap on one side of the satchel and said, "Wait a minute, I have something for you."

In the few seconds before she took it out, Mu Zhenxi was crazy.

It can't be a flower, can it?The flowers should be crushed in the bag, and the appearance is not good.It may also be flowers, not a large bunch, but a few. Xiao Jin's bag has a large capacity, and it will not be damaged if it is carefully packed.

If you send flowers, why not send them in a coffee shop?Are you afraid of being too noticeable?Now the delivery on the street is quite eye-catching, right?I'm sure I'm going to work, won't I reject her before parting?

What about flowers?Do you charge it yourself?Or not?

Do you want to take back a handful next time?

If Xiao Jin asked her why she gave her flowers, she would say that it was a gift in return, and the bouquets looked better, so she didn't pay for them.

Muzhenxi had another wild idea, and a thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately bit his lower lip.

Could it be a ring?

No, no, no, it can’t be so fast.

What if it was a ring?

Wood Sleeper Creek's hands trembled a little.

The ring is... never to be taken away.

She didn't dare to go back.

"this is for you."

It was as if a voice came from outside the sky, which could not be heard clearly through the glass barrier.Muzhenxi's eyes first fell on Xiao Jin's face, and then he realized that the sentence was what she said just now.

She suddenly came back from her imagination, looked down, and saw the... book in Xiao Jin's hand.

Book?

It turned out to be a book?

Xiao Jin gave her a book.

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "..."

Mu Zhenxi took the book over, it was brand new, she looked at the cover, it was Shen Congwen's "Xiangxing Letters", this is very famous, she had read it.

Xiao Jin looked at her intently, tilted her head, and expressed her doubts: "You look...a little disappointed?"

Muzhenxi hugged the book in his arms and said with a smile, "No."

Xiao Jin glanced at her, pursed her lips, and said softly, "Remember to read the bookmark inside."

Wooden Sleeper Creek responded gently: "Okay."

When she arrived at the office, Muzhenxi couldn't wait to rummage through the book. When she found it, she pressed the page with her fingers, pinched the thin bookmark with two fingers of the other hand, and turned to the back, and there was a line.

The woman's graceful and handsome running script: [I want to be close to you so that I won't feel sad. 】

The signature is Xiao Jin.

This is an excerpt. Muzhenxi found the original words on the page pressed by his fingers: "The wind is so strong that my hands and feet are completely cold, but my heart is very warm. But I don't understand why, my heart is always soft Very much. I want to be close to you so that I won't feel sad."

The water in Muzhenxi's eyes fluctuated softly.

"Good morning, Boss." Sister Corgi arrived one step later than Muzhenxi, habitually greeted her in the direction of her station, and then walked to her seat.

She stopped abruptly, rubbed her eyes, and looked at the man with a trance-like expression and a silly smile, what was this for?Have a convulsion?

Corgi girl rolled her eyeballs weirdly, then suddenly raised her hand and knocked on the glass.

The voice suddenly exploded in the ear, Mu Zhenxi came back to his senses, and frowned in displeasure: "What are you doing?"

Sister Corgi: "..."

It's over, it's over, even Ji's tone is so gentle, she's bewitched, or she's an aphrodisiac.

Sister Corgi had already thought of an excuse: "I'm going to make a cup of coffee, boss, do you want it?"

She just asked routinely, and she nodded every time, but this time she made a mistake. The Corgi girl crossed the work partition to grab the cup next to her computer, and was suddenly stopped by the wooden sleeper.

Muzhenxi said lightly: "No, I want to drink milk."

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Xiao Jin: What milk to drink, drink my milk
