be safe

The agreed time was 02:30, Lu Xiaoyun arrived at two o'clock, ordered tea, and looked at the door eagerly.

The afternoon in early summer is quiet, dull and pale. There is only one table of customers in the store. The customers are obviously waiting for someone and not ordering food.

Another waiter in the uniform of the store cleaned quickly and quietly. When she passed by the table of the customers, she glanced up and passed her eyes inadvertently.She is a middle-aged beautiful woman in her forties, with curly hair, elegant makeup, and outstanding temperament. She looks like a rich person.

She wears an expensive ladies' watch on one hand, and her eyes glance over the surface dotted with broken diamonds from time to time. There is an imperceptible tension hidden under the seemingly calm appearance.

The waiter lowered his head and continued to tidy up, but heard a small movement from the counter.

"Hello."

"I'm looking for a lady surnamed Lu, is she here?"

The waiter saw that the guest next to her quickly clenched his hand, and then let it go, putting on a calm look.

"Ms. Lu has been here for a long time, and she is in the seat closest to the inside."

"Thank you."

Muzhenxi walked step by step in the direction guided by the waiter, passed two tables, and saw Lu Xiaoyun who was sitting at the table and waiting for a long time.

Xiao Jin's beauty was inherited from her mother, and the eyebrows and eyes of the two are somewhat similar and delicate.Xiao Jin is 28 years old this year, and her mother Lu Xiaoyun is at least 50 years old, but she looks quite young on the outside, with only one or two fine lines at the end of her eyes. Instead of looking old, her face adds a touch of mature and elegant charm .

Mu Zhenxi had seen Lu Xiaoyun in the photos of Xiao Jin's room before, but she had never seen the real person. After Xiao Jin came back ten years later and revealed what happened back then, she thought that Lu Xiaoyun would look bad and full of hostility towards her. Today When I saw him, I found that the other party exuded a faint gentle aura, that kind of gentleness seemed to be born naturally from the inside out, and one couldn't help feeling a sense of intimacy.

If Mu Zhenxi didn't know what Lu Xiaojun had done, she might have been deceived by her friendliness.

While she was looking at Lu Xiaoyun, Lu Xiaoyun was also looking at her.

About the same age as her daughter, tall and tall, with first-class body and appearance, slightly curly long hair, light makeup, white shirt and black trousers, the cuffs are rolled up casually, very simple and neat dress, but dressed Very outstanding, with white skin, slender waist and long legs.It can't be seen in the photos, but the real person has a very peculiar temperament between lazy and serious, which is very attractive.

Anyway, Lu Xiaoyun is very satisfied with the appearance of Muzhenxi, Xiao Jin has a good eye for picking people, and those people who Lu Xiaoyun had shown Xiao Jin before when she was still hopeful—even if she didn't tell them Xiao Jin - compared to others, it can be said that she is the most gorgeous.

But from the moment she came into Muzhen Creek to the present, her tight jawline and the cold light reflected from her deep eyes all showed her vigilance and even a hint of hostility.

Lu Xiaoyun sighed inwardly: It seems that her future son-in-law's attitude towards her is indeed unfriendly.

However, Lu Xiaoyun didn't feel that Muzhenxi was offended. When it comes to everything that happened back then, it was their own fault.Mu Zhenxi doesn't care about Lu Xiaoyun's attitude towards the two of them, as long as he treats Xiao Jin well.

Lu Xiaoyun suddenly thought desperately: Even if she treats Xiao Jin badly, Xiao Jin doesn't say anything, but still insists on hanging on this tree, there is nothing the couple can do.

Muzhenxi sat down, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Lu Xiaoyun's beautiful face has already changed several expressions, the last one is... despair?

What did you do?She is so desperate?

Wooden Sleeper Creek couldn't help but slowly frowned.

Lu Xiaoyun must have some kind of conspiracy, right?

If the enemy does not move, I will not move, Muzhenxi made up her mind that before Lu Xiaoyun spoke, she would not speak.It was Lu Xiaoyun who was looking for her, not the other party, Lu Xiaoyun would say sooner or later.

"What do you want to drink? The signature silk stocking milk tea here is good. Don't you young people like to drink this? How about a cup?" Lu Xiaoyun has been in the mall for so many years. The sweetheart, a young child, actually showed two points of embarrassment.

Mu Zhenxi looked at her kind and friendly face, suppressed the suspicion in his heart, and nodded lightly.

"Waiter." Wooden Sleeper Creek waved and raised his voice.Lu Xiaoyun is the elder, and she is the junior. It is very rude to let the elders do the work for you without tearing your face.

Lu Xiaoyun's look at her changed again.

If you read it correctly, Wood Sleeper Creek thinks it is appreciation and satisfaction?

Wooden Sleeper Creek is full of fog.

She didn't know that in the situation where Lu Xiaoyun could not interfere with Xiao Jin at all, Lu Xiaoyun's standards for her were lowered to an unprecedentedly low level, almost without standards, once she found a bright spot, it would be infinitely magnified in her eyes.

In layman's terms, ask the mother-in-law to look at her son-in-law, the more she looks at her, the more pleasing she is.

Muzhenxi couldn't stand this weird atmosphere at first, sat up straight, and said straight to the point: "I don't know what auntie wants to tell me when she called me here today?"

Lu Xiaoyun's expression froze subtly.

The terms aunt and aunt are both polite terms. People who are older than their parents are called uncles, and those who are younger are called uncles and aunts.Mu Zhenxi doesn't know who is the age of Xiao Jin's parents or his parents, but Xiao Jin is older than her, and she can't make a mistake when calling her uncle and aunt.But the difference between these two words is not small in the ears of women, especially middle-aged women.

Muzhenxi made no secret of her dissatisfaction with Lu Xiaoyun.

Lu Xiaoyun lowered her eyes, but she didn't show the slightest bit of sullenness, and said with a slight smile, "Just chatting."

Muzhenxi was straightforward: "What are you talking about?"

Lu Xiaoyun said, "Xiao Jin."

Mu Zhenxi raised his eyebrows slightly: "All ears."

Lu Xiaoyun tilted her head and asked, "What do you think of our Xiao Jin?"

If you really want to promote the reunion of the two of them, you must find out Muzhenxi's attitude.

Mu Zhenxi obviously didn't expect her to ask such a question, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, she cleverly concealed it, and said indifferently: "She's fine." Although she hid her doubts, she didn't restrain herself from mentioning Xiao Jin affection at the time.

There is a play.

Lu Xiaoyun was overjoyed.

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "???"

Did she just see a surprise in Lu Xiaoyun's eyes?Or laugh out loud?

Lu Xiaoyun didn't know that Muzhenxi and her thoughts were far away, she pressed her lips restrainedly, and asked persistently: "Then what do you think about her?"

Muzhenxi frowned slightly.

idea?Is it an idea to live forever?

My immediate idea is to fuck her.

But it was inappropriate to tell Lu Xiaoyun, so Mu Zhenxi said blankly, "I don't have any ideas."

Lu Xiaoyun's heart skipped a beat.

This is not forgiving their family Xiao Jin.

Lu Xiaoyun clasped her hands under the table, let go, and repeated several times. She made up her mind, lowered her head, and sincerely apologized to the young woman in front of her: "I'm sorry."

As long as Muzhenxi is willing to be with Xiao Jin again, they can do whatever they want.

In the early days, they were not without resentment in their hearts. Xiao Jin did so many incredible things for a girl they had never met before.What's more, Xiao's family thinks that they are extremely benevolent to Muzhenxi, especially the money sent to them later. Xiao Jin has no idea how much Muzhenxi has done. What right does she have to not forgive her.The deeper Xiao Jin got stuck, the more Father Xiao and Lu Xiaoyun hated this Wooden Sleeper Creek that came out of nowhere.

Resentment doesn't last long, but love lasts. As time goes by, my love for my daughter overwhelms everything else.

Muzhenxi was surprised and said, "Auntie, this is..."

Lu Xiaoyun said: "Her father and I were confused about what happened before. We tricked her away. We apologize to you. If you want any compensation, you can tell us as much as you want."

Muzhenxi was in a trance for a moment, and his brows were furrowed. What kind of development is this?

Seeing that she was silent, Lu Xiaoyun continued: "Xiao Jin is innocent, she has never let you go all these years."

Muzhenxi suddenly had a bold idea, she kept calm, watched the changes, and said calmly: "So?"

Lu Xiaoyun said: "I came to you today for no other reason than to ask..."

Muzhenxi stared at Lu Xiaojun's mouth opening and closing, and a guess was about to come out.

"Is there any possibility of you and her getting back together?"

Boom.

The hanging heart fell to the ground.

Muzhenxi was a little bit dumbfounded in his heart, but also felt very sad, he knew why he had to do it today.Xiao Jin's ten years, my own ten years, who will pay them?Shouldn't they choose such an extreme approach, can a sentence of "sorry" and "regret" make up for it?

If Xiao Jin hadn't suffered those hardships, if he hadn't been so persistent, would they have woken up and compromised?

All of this was paid by Xiao Jin at a price she knew and didn't know, Mu Zhenxi felt sorry for Xiao Jin.

It seems that Lu Xiaoyun still doesn't know that she and Xiao Jin are together again.

Muzhenxi didn't show it on his face, he glanced at Lu Xiaoyun's anxious expression, and a half-smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Then do you want me to get back together with her?"

Lu Xiaoyun nodded: "She will be truly happy only when she is with you."

Muzhenxi tapped his knuckles on the table, decided not to hold back, shrugged and said, "As you wish."

Lu Xiaoyun suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Muzhenxi said coldly: "I'm already with her, but it has nothing to do with you."

Due to her original family, Muzhenxi is quite unfamiliar with the words "parents", especially what Father Xiao and Lu Xiaoyun did back then. She doesn't even have a good impression of Xiao Jin's parents.

But after saying this, she thought of Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin wanted to restore the relationship, so she calmed down, pursed her lips, showing the dimple on her left cheek, and smiled politely: "She is very happy now, Uncles and aunts, please rest assured."

How could Lu Xiaoyun fail to see that her smile didn't reach her eyes, it was just a play on the spot.

Lu Xiaoyun said: "You don't have to act with me, I know you don't like us."

Muzhenxi smiled and did not refute.

Lu Xiaoyun: "But it's okay, we don't need your love, we can rest assured knowing that she is good." Thinking about it from another angle, they are the ones who have hurt Xiao Jin, and Muzhenxi's hostility towards them is partly due to his love for Xiao Jin. Jin love.

Lu Xiaoyun comforted herself.

Lu Xiaoyun: "I have another merciless request."

Muzhenxi raised his eyebrows: "Say it."

Lu Xiaoyun said: "You know we have no hostility towards you anymore, I want you to give Xiao Jin a word for us."

Mu Zhenxi tilted his head, stared at her, and said, "Forgive me, Auntie, it's not that I refuse to take it for you, but you asked me to meet in private without telling her, and let me take the message. What do you think Xiao Jin will do?" think?"

Lu Xiaoyun's face turned pale.

Xiao Jin would definitely feel that they were trying to do something to Mu Zhenxi, she didn't trust them at all, if there was trust, she wouldn't have told them about their reunion.

No matter what they explain, Xiao Jin won't listen. Once she was bitten by a snake for ten years, she was afraid of well ropes, and her relationship might deteriorate.

She was negligent and didn't think about this level, thinking that Muzhenxi and Xiao Jin were close, and it would be better for her to say some things.

Lu Xiaoyun looked at Muzhenxi's face, looked around again calmly, and asked, "Why help us?"

"Help you guys?" Mu Zhenxi seemed to have heard something funny, hooked the corners of his lips mockingly, and said indifferently, "I just don't want Xiao Jin to be hurt."

Lu Xiaoyun was dumb for a moment, then smiled and said, "Anyway, thank you."

Mu Zhenxi took a sip of the milk tea he hadn't had since serving the table, and said, "Is there anything else?"

Lu Xiaoyun looked at her and said, "No more."

Muzhenxi stood up and bowed slightly: "Then I will take my leave first."

Lu Xiaoyun watched her gradually walking away, wondering what she was thinking.

There was a flash of light in her sight, Lu Xiaoyun looked at the bracelet left at the foot of the table, walked over to pick it up, and wanted to call Muzhenxi, but she disappeared without a trace.

Lu Xiaoyun took out her mobile phone and wanted to call Muzhenxi, but hesitated a second before dialing out, and returned to the main interface.

Muzhenxi walked in a hurry, and didn't want to stay in this tea restaurant for a minute. Although the meeting between her and Lu Xiaoyun surprised her, it didn't cause much disturbance in her heart. After the truth, it doesn't matter to her.Xiao Jin wants to get back together, this is a long process of reconciliation, she can't help, it can only be left to time and Xiao Jin herself.

Muzhenxi found that the bracelet was lost on the way there while driving. It was not particularly expensive, but it was given to her by Yin Xiaoli.Muzhenxi had to turn around at the intersection ahead and drive back.

The tea restaurant is upstairs. Muzhenxi just parked his car by the side of the road and was about to open the door, but he saw two beautiful women with intimate postures coming out of the exit side by side, holding hands, about the same age, both in their forties. Get ahead.

One was Lu Xiaoyun who had just met her, and the other was Zhou Xinyue!

Muzhenxi's eyes trembled slightly.

She fixed the hand holding the door handle, and followed the two people with her eyes. They talked and laughed and got into the back seat of the same car.

A strange feeling appeared in Muzhenxi's heart.

Lu Xiaoyun and Zhou Xinyue... These two people who were at odds with each other in her heart actually knew each other?Besides, seeing the familiar appearance of the two of them, Zhou Xinyue came to stay for a short stay again, didn't the two of them have known each other for a long time?

Was that money a coincidence?Or...why didn't Zhou Xinyue say anything?Lu Xiaoyun didn't mention it in the conversation just now, if he wanted to win his favor, wouldn't it be better to say it?

Muzhenxi lowered his eyes, thoughtful.

After Muzhenxi waited for the car to leave, she went back to the tea restaurant and asked if she had seen one of her bracelets, and the waiter said no.Muzhenxi asked again: "After I left, did the person with me receive another friend?"

There were no other customers at this time, and the waiter remembered it clearly and said, "Yes."

"How does their relationship look like?"

"It's pretty close."

"Okay, thank you."

Mu Zhenxi came out of the tea restaurant and squinted his eyes as he looked at the streets full of people coming and going.The sun was clearly in the sky, but Muzhenxi suddenly felt a chill hit his heart.

***

When Muzhenxi was not there, Xiao Jin occupied Muzhenxi's study.The study in Muzhenxi has changed a lot. Xiao Jin often brings books from her. It turns out that the painting collections on the bookshelves and miscellaneous books from ancient and modern China and foreign countries are mixed with a large number of theoretical books, as well as English works. At first glance, it looks very mixed.

Muzhenxi also put the drawings on his desk into a cardboard box, leaving half of the space for Xiao Jin to read and prepare for lessons.If the two of them wanted to use the study at the same time, Xiao Jin would make the next best thing and go to the living room.

Muzhenxi is very focused when she paints, she doesn't care if there is another person beside her, but Xiao Jin can't, once Muzhenxi appears in her sight, she can't work with peace of mind, and she can't wait to cling to Muzhenxi's arms.Fortunately, Muzhenxi is basically very busy. Most of the time this study is used by Xiao Jin. There is a photo frame next to the computer, which is a photo of Muzhenxi and grandma.

Xiao Jin raised her head from the book, fixed her eyes on the faces of the old and the young in the photo frame, and thought about things quietly for a while.

The study door was not closed, so the sound of the door could be heard clearly.

Xiao Jin quickly regained consciousness, ran out of the study without wearing slippers.

Mu Zhenxi was about to bend down to change her shoes, when she heard the sound of running footsteps, raised her head, and naturally opened her arms, Xiao Jin threw herself into her arms, throwing her back against the porch.

"You just came back." Xiao Jin said dissatisfied, "It's almost dark."

"I ran into an acquaintance on the road, who insisted on pulling me to chat, which wasted a lot of time." Mu Zhenxi said the excuse he had thought up a long time ago, and then pointed her to the cake on the counter in the entrance, "I bought it for you, There were so many people and there was a queue.”

Xiao Jin calmed down a little, and said coquettishly: "What acquaintances, next time you meet this kind of person, you just say you want to go home to accompany your girlfriend, and let them drag you down."

Muzhenxi obediently said: "Okay."

Xiao Jin raised her head suddenly, and asked vigilantly, "Is it a man or a woman?"

Wooden Sleeper Creek said, "Female."

Xiao Jin didn't relax, and said, "Is it interesting to you?"

Mu Zhenxi said jokingly, "He has a boyfriend."

Xiao Jin felt relieved: "That's okay." She raised her hands to pinch Muzhenxi's cheeks, "Don't go out and flirt."

Mu Zhenxi died of injustice, and said with a smile: "How can I be promiscuous? I went out today with the hickey you gave me. Isn't it obvious enough that a famous flower has an owner?"

Xiao Jin opened her neckline and looked, it has changed from bright red to purple, with mottled marks, which will not disappear completely in a few weeks.She gritted her teeth, and Muzhenxi moved over consciously, and Xiao Jin left another one for her, this time it was on the side of her neck, which couldn't be covered by Xia Tian's clothes at all.

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "!!!"

Xiao Jin licked her lips: "This is obvious enough."

When Muzhenxi rolled his eyes, Xiao Jin immediately said, "No band-aids are allowed, no silk scarves are allowed."

Muzhenxi's back road is cut off, only compromise.

She suddenly remembered a funny thing, and said: "I read a news two years ago, saying that a boy was sucked by his girlfriend with a hickey on his neck and died suddenly."

The corner of Xiao Jin's mouth twitched.

First it affects the appearance of the city, and then it is the sudden death of the hickey. Muzhenxi is not a dog, why can't it spit out ivory?

It wasn't until the smile on the corner of Muzhenxi's mouth grew bigger and bigger that Xiao Jin realized that she had been tricked again, so she pounced on him angrily, and arched her mouth straight into Muzhenxi's neck. Could Muzhenxi know what she wanted to do, let alone, After planting a neck full of strawberries, she would definitely have no face to go to work, so one wanted to kiss, the other wanted to block, the porch rolled to the ground, and the ground rolled to the sofa, fighting for three hundred rounds.

Xiao Jin was exhausted and took the lead to admit defeat, but Mu Zhenxi also failed to please her. She was not willing to give Xiao Jin a heavy hand, so she succeeded twice, and now there are one, two or three strawberries.

Mu Zhenxi nestled on the sofa with Xiao Jin in his arms, combed her long hair, and asked lazily, "What have you been doing at home this afternoon?"

"Read a book."

"anything else?"

"Miss you."

"anything else?"

"I still miss you."

"Not doing business properly." Mu Zhenxi tapped Xiao Jin on the back of the head lightly and lightly.

Xiao Jin said softly, "...it hurts."

Muzhenxi rubbed it for her, and let out another breath.

From the back of her head, she touched her left forehead with her fingers. There was a small bump, which was the scar from the previous car accident, and it had healed.Except for close observation and hands-on touch, you can't find it at all.

The moment Muzhenxi felt his fingers touching, Xiao Jin's body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

"Does it still hurt?" Mu Zhenxi carefully avoided the pain, knowing that it would not hurt after such a long time.

"It doesn't hurt." Xiao Jin closed her eyes and exhaled calmly.

She had the illusion of going back to the past in a trance, she woke up from the long coma, and someone sitting in the warm white light touched her wound so gently, and asked her gently, cherishing and distressed: "Does it hurt?"

Xiao Jin stared fixedly at the person whose face could not be seen clearly in the white light, tears oozed from the corners of her eyes, a white mist covered the oxygen mask, and choked up, "It doesn't hurt."

But when the white light cleared, it was not Muzhenxi sitting in front of the hospital bed, but Lu Xiaoyun whose face was full of tears.

The sharp pain like a knife and an ax penetrated into her brain instantly, Xiao Jin was so painful that her vision was blurred, her lower lip was bitten and bleeding, and she hurriedly searched for Muzhenxi in the snow-white ward.

What about her?

"Don't get excited." Lu Xiaoyun said, "What are you looking for? Mom will find it for you."

Xiao Jin couldn't speak, like a stranded fish, her breathing became difficult, struggling, the needle in the vein was bent, the medicine leaked out, and the back of her slender white hand swelled into a shocking bulge.

At the last second before falling into the darkness, what I saw was Lu Xiaoyun's panicked face, and her father screamed hoarsely, crying: "Doctor save my daughter!"

The instruments all over the room were beeping, and the ups and downs of the monitoring heartbeat suddenly turned into a straight line, and there was a piercing long beep: "Beep——"
