be safe

Xiao Jin didn't move or make a sound.

Lu Xiaoyun recovered first, and cast a reproachful look at her husband, feeling complicated.Father Xiao slowly let go of the big hand holding Xiao Jin's shoulder, walked out from behind her awkwardly, and apologized strangely and clumsily: "I'm sorry." He was the one who lost his mind.

Xiao Jin's fingers hanging by her side tightened, and before she could make a fist, she was already held by the woman's warm palm, Mu Zhenxi bent her lips towards her.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Lu Xiaoyun took the lead to break the deadlock: "I'm a little full, is there any place to go shopping around here?"

Muzhenxi whispered at the right time: "Auntie, do you like places with a lot of people or places with few people?"

Lu Xiaoyun: "There are not many people." You can still talk for a while.

Muzhenxi took Xiao's parents to a nearby park, where the vegetation is dense and the branches are swaying in the wind, which just happens to cool down in summer.

Xiao's father continued to maintain his serious personality, Xiao Jin was not in high spirits, only Lu Xiaoyun and Mu Zhenxi seemed to be okay, and brought down the harmonious scene at the dinner table.

The more Muzhenxi chatted, the more weird she felt, she took the initiative to bring up a topic, and brought Xiao Jin in: "Last time you said that the school will evaluate professional titles, how are you preparing?"

Lu Xiaoyun immediately said: "Is it troublesome to evaluate titles in China?" She has done basic work, and since she learned that Xiao Jin returned to China to become a teacher, she checked a lot of information.

Xiao Jin said lightly: "Fortunately, I'm just writing a paper."

Lu Xiaoyun said, "Should we still compile a book?"

Xiao Jin said: "Yes, we can co-author."

The mother and daughter asked and answered, and each sentence Xiao Jin answered did not exceed ten words.

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "..."

***

After sending the elders to the car and watching the two leave, Mu Zhenxi and Xiao Jin returned home.

"Do you and your mother usually talk like this?" Mu Zhenxi poured a glass of water for Xiao Jin and handed it to her.

"We usually don't talk, we just chat on WeChat."

"I'm telling you seriously." Muzhenxi showed a dissatisfied expression.

"I know what you mean," Xiao Jin smiled and sighed again, "but it's been like this for a long time, and I can't change it." I didn't bother to change it.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Muzhenxi said.

"I'm used to it." Xiao Jin's smile faded.

"Then what do your parents think?"

"How would I know if they didn't tell me?" Xiao Jin said casually, leaning back on the sofa lazily, grabbed the remote control and turned on the TV, flipped through two pages, and selected a movie to turn on.

Muzhenxi took a deep breath and stood in front of her.

"You're blocking me from watching TV." Xiao Jin raised her hand and patted her leg lightly.

"you are not happy?"

"No."

"You're just unhappy." Muzhenxi said firmly, with a rare force.

Xiao Jin paused the movie.

Muzhenxi sat down on the ground in front of her.

Xiao Jin: "..." What is this for?

Muzhenxi stared blankly, then suddenly got up again, "I lost my memory just now, you didn't realize it."

Xiao Jin: "Hahaha." Laughed out loud.

Seeing her smile, Muzhenxi rolled her eyes, and it was much easier to say what she said later.

"I don't think the way you get along with your parents is right," she said.

I have never eaten pork but I have seen pigs running. How can there be such a strict family.

Xiao Jin raised her eyebrows slightly.

"You don't like it, and neither does your mother."

Xiao Jin smiled and said, "So?"

She did it, and Muzhenxi was dumbfounded.She only thought about this point, shouldn't it be Xiao Jin who said it next?

Xiao Jin patted her head, with a little pity in his eyes: "You don't need to worry about this matter."

She has been raised like this for so many years, how can it be achieved overnight.When she was a child, she still wondered why it was like this, why she was different from most children, and she had many reasons, but now she doesn't have it, let alone the urge to change it.

She loves her parents, and her parents also love her. They know each other well, and that's enough.

The world is so big, who said that a family like her is unique?There is always someone like her who is having a good time.

"I didn't care about it, I just wanted to make you happy." Mu Zhenxi said.

"I'm very happy." Xiao Jin pinched her face.

Mu Zhenxi wanted to say more, Xiao Jin's subordinates exerted some force, from pinching to pinching: "I want to watch a movie, don't make noise."

After pinching, he blew on her again, in short, he didn't want to talk about this topic with Muzhenxi.

***

After Xiao's mother came home, she just sat on the sofa and didn't move.

Father Xiao changed out of his suit and put on home clothes. He read the news on his tablet, absent-mindedly, watching and laughing for a while, and said to Lu Xiaoyun, "Our daughter-in-law is really good. Xiao Jin has a good eye, just like me."

Lu Xiaoyun casually said, "Yes."

Father Xiao was surprised: "Are you dissatisfied? You chatted with her for so long."

"Hmm." Lu Xiaoyun's eyes drifted and her voice was perfunctory.

Father Xiao raised his voice to bring her back to his senses: "What are you thinking?"

Lu Xiaoyun looked at her husband slowly: "Do you think..." After a long pause, "Forget it."

Her husband is already immersed in the joy of having a good daughter-in-law, let him enjoy it for a while.

Lu Xiaoyun excused herself to be sleepy and went back to her bedroom to sleep.

***

Xiao Jin fell asleep on the sofa halfway through watching the movie, and Mu Zhenxi took her head off her lap, put it on the pillow, covered her with a blanket, and walked out the door lightly.

She goes to the supermarket to buy groceries, and she usually has no time to cook, so she can relax a little on Sunday every week. She originally wanted to call Xiao Jin after watching the movie, but now she fell asleep, and if she woke up again, she would probably be scolded. I went alone.

Muzhenxi pushed the car familiarly, and walked towards the vegetable and meat section, when the phone rang halfway.

Xiao Jin called.

"Where have you been?" There was a nasal voice, probably just waking up.

"supermarket."

"Why didn't you call me?"

"You fell asleep."

"Ah."

Muzhenxi seemed to turn over when he heard the rustling noises over there, and he heard Xiao Jin say: "I just woke up, I didn't find you at home, and now you're lying on the bed."

"Shouldn't you find me first, and then go to bed?" Muzhenxi laughed.

"Sleepy..." Xiao Jin answered her, buried her face in the pillow, hummed and acted like a baby, "I almost fell when I was walking just now."

She waited with bated breath, wanting to wait for the candy child.

Immediately heard Muzhenxi's nervous voice: "Where did you hit?"

"No." Xiao Jin was satisfied.She lied to her, a little shock would be all right, no amount of it would make her feel bad.

"Walk slowly, see the road clearly before walking, be good at home, I will go back soon." Mu Zhenxi spoke in a very gentle tone, and a young mother holding a child next to her glanced at her, showing a knowing smile , touched his baby's head.

Muzhenxi also smiled at her.

The two exchanged a similar look.

The child was very well-behaved, and when his mother stopped, he called out in a clear and crisp voice, "Hello, Auntie."

Muzhenxi's heart was about to melt, he squatted down and said, "Hi, little friend."

The child looked at her, then suddenly hid behind her mother, poked her head out, and blushed with embarrassment: "Auntie, you are so pretty."

The mother kept laughing.

As soon as the young mother left, Mu Zhenxi smiled and said to Xiao Jin on the other end of the phone: "Someone thought I was talking to my child just now."

Xiao Jin called out sharply: "Mom."

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "..."

Xiao Jin: "Is the thorn stimulating?"

Muzhenxi: "..." It's not exciting, but frightening.

Xiao Jin: "Next time I will yell on the bed."

Mu Zhenxi didn't even think about it: "No." She didn't have such a habit.

Xiao Jin said: "Change your thinking, I'm so excited that you can't stand it, crying and calling mom, is it so exciting?"

Wooden Sleeper Creek was silent again.

She suddenly found that this was a bit exciting, and she felt hot all over after thinking about it.

Xiao Jin had already got the answer, and said with a satisfied smile: "Then I'll call like that next time."

Muzhenxi was silent for a moment again, took a few steps away from the crowd, and said in a low voice, "How did you become like this now?"

"What about me?" Xiao Jin suppressed a smile.

"Aren't you embarrassed?" Muzhenxi said in a solemn tone.

"No, you are already very embarrassed. If I am even more embarrassed, how are we going to live? Could it be that we keep looking at each other? How boring." Xiao Jin said, "Don't you like it?"

"..."

"I know you like it, but you are timid and scared. I understand, just get used to it." Xiao Jin was quite proud.

This is not what Muzhenxi is thinking at the moment, every time Xiao Jin speaks well, but when he really does it, he starts to talk nonsense, and the words in his mouth are not what she and Muzhenxi have said before.

"I hope you keep your word." Muzhenxi said meaningfully.

Xiao Jin is a little inexplicable, but also seems to understand a little bit, which is weird.

"How long have you been abstaining from drinking?" She was about to ask clearly, but Muzhenxi had already asked again.

Xiao Jin put her previous words behind her and said, "It's been more than half a year."

"Is it okay to have a drink?"

"Probably not." As long as you don't drink too much on purpose.

"I'll buy some wine and go home." Wooden Sleeper Creek pushed the cart and swept a bunch of canned beer in from the shelf, occasionally needing to add to the fun.

Xiao Jin was not sleepy chatting with her anymore, sat up, and Mu Zhenxi changed the bluetooth headset from the bag.

I hung up the phone when I got home, and the call was recorded for 1 hour and 5 minutes.

When the door was opened, Xiao Jin was standing at the door of the porch, waiting to pick up several large plastic bags in her hand. Mu Zhenxi raised her hand to avoid it, and said, "It's too heavy, you can't carry it, I'll put it on the door side is fine."

Xiao Jin was not convinced, and insisted on picking it up. When she picked it up, her shoulders sank along with the plastic bag. It was deliberate. Mu Zhenxi didn't care about her half-off shoes, so she quickly helped her, and said angrily: "Everyone I'm telling you, I'll come later."

Xiao Jin immediately picked it up "bravely", and raised her eyebrows proudly at her.

Muzhenxi applauded cooperatively: "Wow, that's amazing!"

It's really like a mother coaxing a baby.

Muzhenxi reacted and burst out laughing.

Xiao Jin turned around.

Wooden Sleeper Creek said, "It's nothing, the beer is in the refrigerator."

Xiao Jin snorted: "It's not that I don't know." She opened the door of the refrigerator and put two cans in it. Muzhenxi bought a lot, and drinking cold beer in summer is quite pleasant.

Muzhenxi smiled behind her: "Baby is so smart."

"Did you get stimulated by something? Was stimulated by that young mother to want to have a baby?" Xiao Jin frowned a little.

"Hmm." Muzhenxi responded in a nonchalant manner.

Xiao Jin stopped putting the beer, turned around, and looked at her face: "Really?"

Muzhenxi sat on the sofa, hugged a pillow, and covered her nose and mouth, as if this would prevent Xiao Jin from seeing her blushing face: "Do you like children?"

The child she saw today is very cute and has a very good tutor.If it was her and Xiao Jin's child, it would definitely be better than this child.

Seeing her expression, Xiao Jin knew that she liked it very much.After all, he is someone who can think of raising a child in the second year of high school.

"I like it." So Xiao Jin answered her.

"Then..." Muzhenxi almost blurted out "Let's have one", remembering that he didn't even ask for marriage, he tightened his arms around the pillow, "Then we can discuss it later."

It seems that a marriage proposal must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Although Xiao Jin was puzzled by the changes in her expression several times, she did not forget to remind her: "I want to spend two years in the world of two people first." Whether there are children or not has a great impact on life.

"Two years?" Wooden Sleeper Creek's reaction was very strange.

Xiao Jin couldn't help frowning: "You think it's too long?"

"No." Wooden Sleeper Creek quickly denied.

She just connected two years with the proposal. In the world of two, it must include honeymoon travel, proposal, marriage, and honeymoon. Two years seems to be a long time, but it is actually very short. Silently muttering words.

Xiao Jin: "..."

How strange recently.

The bathroom was steamy.

The two butterfly bones on Xiao Jin's back were rubbed red and stuck to the cold tiles. It was extremely cold behind her and extremely hot in front of her. Her chin was pressed against Muzhenxi's shoulder. Her breathing was light and heavy at times, and she felt dizzy. Go with the flow.

Wildfire jumps on the skin and gradually starts a prairie fire.

At the last moment, Xiao Jin seemed to wake up suddenly, and desperately struggled violently, wanting to hide and escape.Muzhenxi entangled her tightly, gentle but domineering, imprisoned in her arms and could not escape, coaxing her softly: "Wait, wait..."

Xiao Jin whimpered.

Muzhenxi remembered what she had said in the daytime, bit her ear maliciously and said, "Call mom."

Xiao Jin cried and said, "Go away."

Muzhenxi shrugged his shoulders and smiled uncontrollably.

"Am I really out?" She left slowly.

"How dare you!" Xiao Jin immediately grabbed her wrist, rubbed her cheek hot against her neck, panted heavily, and said impatiently, "Hurry up, hurry up..."

do not stop.

Consciousness collapsed bit by bit, being dragged into the abyss of sinking.

Xiao Jin fell asleep before reaching the bed, and this time she slept very deeply. Muzhenxi knew her physical strength, once she still had enough energy, but twice she would definitely fall asleep, and she would never wake up.

Mu Zhenxi squatted on the edge of the bed, measured the size of Xiao Jin's ring finger, and secretly wrote it down.

***

"Are you free?" On Monday, Mu Zhenxi called Yin Xiaoli.

"Look at what you said, you are always free, can I be free?" Yin Xiaoli pinched her throat, imitating an eunuch.

"Speak human!" Muzhenxi shouted displeased.Recently, Yin Xiaoli's thinking about spring has gone crazy, she just has nothing to do, talking to her in a weird way all day long.

"Yes." Yin Xiaoli coaxed.

"Come out with me?"

"What?"

"Buy a diamond ring."

"Damn." Then there was a loud clang, and Yin Xiaoli fell to the ground.

"Are you fast enough?"

"It's not fast, there are many things to do." Muzhenxi said.Marriage proposal cannot be made as soon as you buy a diamond ring, you have to find the right time.She is really too busy with work, even to buy a diamond ring, she has to ask for leave secretly, otherwise Xiao Jin will find out, she has been asking for leave recently, Zhang Hanxia didn't say anything, just told her to finish the work, Mu Zhenxi felt very embarrassed.

Sometimes she wonders why she found such a job, but the salary is high, and if she wants to have both bread and love, she has to pay something.

"When?" Yin Xiaoli didn't talk nonsense to her.

"Which day are you free?"

"at any time."

"That's today." Muzhenxi said, "I'm going to ask for leave now."

Yin Xiaoli kept tutting and tutting.

Wooden Sleeper Creek hung up the phone.

Meeting at the shopping mall an hour later, Yin Xiaoli sighed and said that she married her daughter, expressing her old mother's reluctance.

Muzhenxi said, "It's marriage."

Yin Xiaoli immediately changed her words: "I married a daughter-in-law and forgot my mother, blah blah."

After entering the counter, Yin Xiaoli returned to normal in a second, and said in front of the wooden pillow stream: "My sisters want to propose to their girlfriends, do you have any recommendations for beautiful diamond ring styles, money is not a problem, I want the most expensive one!"

It has a big tone and a big style.It's not disgusting, but rather pleasing.

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "..."

The shopping guide smiled warmly, neither arrogant nor impetuous, nor did she treat her differently because she said she was very rich.

Yin Xiaoli coughed, then said with a smile: "If there is anything suitable, let us have a look."

She has a kind face, and she is more friendly when she smiles, with curved eyes.

The shopping guide pursed her lips and smiled slightly, which was a little more sincere than the kind of smile that greets customers, and said gently: "Please follow me."

The shopping guide walked in front, Yin and Mu walked behind, Mu Zhenxi tugged at Yin Xiaoli's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Are you sick?"

Yin Xiaoli said: "Just kidding, look how happy he is laughing."

She pointed to the shopping guide in professional attire, suddenly she had a thought, and whispered: "She seems to be a bit good-looking too, Xiaojiabiyu, do you think I want..."

Muzhenxi gave her a disgusted look, took two steps forward, and shook her off.

The shopping guide asked about the basic requirements, and brought them to a glass cabinet where Muzhenxi was dazzled by the dazzling array of diamond rings.She looked at each one carefully, seemingly concentrating, but her mind was blank.

She proposed!

She actually asked for marriage!

The object of the proposal is still Xiao Jin!

What should I do if I start to get nervous before asking? !

Yin Xiaoli played the role of best friend very seriously and responsibly. In fact, there were more than one boyfriends who wanted to talk to her about marriage, secretly preparing for a surprise proposal, which scared Yin Xiaoli to break up on the spot.Although they all refused, Yin Xiaoli boasted that she had more experience than Mu Zhenxi. She still understood what eight hearts and eight arrows were all about.

She chatted with the shopping guide, and the shopping guide took out what she liked and tried it on for her.

"What do you think?" Yin Xiaoli showed Mu Zhenxi her hand.

"..." Wooden Sleeper Creek remained unmoved.

Yin Xiaoli shoved her shoulder, and Mu Zhenxi suddenly came back to his senses: "What's wrong?"

"Your old man is wandering here? Who is proposing marriage?" Yin Xiaoli took the opportunity to stab her and continued, "See if this looks good?"

Mu Zhenxi looked at it and nodded in a daze: "It looks good." Then she said, "Is the drill too small?" She asked the shopping guide, "How big is it?"

Yin Xiaoli: "...2 carats."

Dare she chat with the shopping guide for a long time and she didn't listen?

Yin Xiaoli: "It's not too small. Generally, 1 carat is enough. If it's too big, it won't look good. I don't think it looks good. I don't know what Dr. Xiao thinks."

Mu Zhenxi has no idea at all, she would have known that she would make a side note, but Xiao Jin is so smart, if she slipped her tongue, she would definitely guess it, and there would be no surprises at that time.

Yin Xiaoli glanced at the shop assistant's face, smiling, but secretly gritted her teeth, and whispered to Mu Zhenxi: "Do you know how much this diamond costs? 10,000+! The money is all for a diamond ring, do you still want to get married?" Yes! You don’t need money for the banquet? You’re a prodigal!”

Muzhenxi picked out his ears and listened to the teachings with an open mind.

Mom said yes.

"Let's take a look." Mu Zhenxi settled down this time, picked out a diamond ring, and bought a pair of rings by the way. The outer ring of the pair ring was inlaid with broken diamonds, which was not cheaper than the diamond ring.

"If you need it, you can come back to our store and engrave the ring for free." The shopping guide put the certificate of appraisal and the box containing the ring into a beautiful packaging bag and handed it over.

"Welcome to come again next time." The shopping guide bowed slightly and sent the two away.

Mu Zhenxi stuffed the bag into Yin Xiaoli's arms.

Yin Xiaoli's hands seemed to be scalded by boiling water, and quickly retracted: "No, no, no, I don't want it."

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "...Who will give it to you? Keep it for me. I'm going back to the company. It's not appropriate to bring this with me."

Yin Xiaoli: "Put it in your bag."

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "The bag is too small to fit."

"Leave the packaging bag, just put the box."

"Xiao Jin will definitely find out if I bring it home, please help me hide it for a while."

Yin Xiaoli had no choice but to take the packing bag tremblingly. This small bag was worth hundreds of thousands, and she had to save it for several years without eating or drinking.If it is lost at her house, where will she go to pay for it?

Yin Xiaoli and Mu Zhenxi were about to cry when they went back, looking at her pitifully.

"In case I'm on a business trip, you just need this?"

"My house is not safe at all. I was burglarized last time."

"You take it back."

Wooden Sleeper Creek: "..."

Don't embarrass the old mother. After get off work that day, Muzhenxi brought three boxes home, just like three beating hearts. The steps are big and fast, and the high heels step on the ground as if chasing the soul. , she was walking on the road in the community, when she saw a figure in front of her, she was frightened and ran wildly.

Finally, he entered the house like a thief, and Muzhenxi leaned against the door panel to pant.

Coming out of the study, Xiao Jin saw the sneaky Wooden Sleeper Creek: "..."

Xiao Jin tilted her head with doubts in her eyes.

Muzhenxi stood still, smiled lightly, and said, "I'm back."

Xiao Jin came over and kissed her, then naturally reached out to take her bag.

Wooden Sleeper Creek didn't give it to her.

Xiao Jin blinked.

Muzhenxi paused, gave it to her again, and calmly adjusted his breathing.

Xiao Jin hung her bag on the shelf by the door, the long silver chain was hanging down, shining under the light, Mu Zhenxi resisted not keeping her eyes on it.She went to the kitchen to pour water, Xiao Jin glanced at the slightly shaking bag with thoughtful eyes.

Muzhenxi calmed down his intense heartbeat while drinking water.

What about Xiao Jin?

Mu Zhenxi came out, saw Xiao Jin raised her hand, and was about to go to get the bag just hung up, and almost lost her mind on the spot.

She made a quick decision, pointed the little finger of her right foot at the leg of the chair, and stepped up with her fingers connected to her heart. The pain caused her to jump on tiptoe: "Ah!" She looked painful, and she couldn't fake it.

Xiao Jin immediately gave up the bag and ran towards her.
