Stay Safe

The door of Wooden Pillow Creek closed in front of Xiao Jin.

She listened carefully, but couldn't tell the difference between the force of the door closing and the original, and moved her brows, quite disappointed.

In less than a moment, Wooden Pillow Creek came out.

Xiao Jin's eyes lit up.

A solid color round neck t-shirt with a delicate and small collarbone looming at the neckline, and black casual leggings trousers, because the legs are too long, naturally revealing a section of white ankles.

Dressed neatly and neatly, it outlines a slender and perfect body proportion.

The slightly curly medium-length hair was scattered on her shoulders. Xiao Jin noticed that her earrings, the simple silver stars, looked a little lazy and uninhibited. The fair skin set off the cherry red lips, which were moist and full enough to make people bite.

Wooden pillow creek interrupted her scrutiny, and said lightly: "Can you go?"

Xiao Jin retracted his gaze, his expression paler than hers: "Yes."

She even took two more steps forward, keeping a safe distance from Wooden Pillow Creek.

Wooden Pillow Creek: "…"

Xiao Jin changed into a pair of wedge sandals, and the white lace went around her slender ankles and fastened them. She pushed the door first and went out and waited outside. Muzhenxi wore a pair of ordinary Converse canvas shoes. She was nearly 175, a little taller than Xiao Jin who wore wedge heels.

Close the door, lock it.

Xiao Jin abides by her duty and does not come to hold her arm.

Wooden pillow creek raised his hand subconsciously, put it down halfway, pretended to put it into his trouser pocket naturally. She raised her chin in the direction of the elevator, and Xiao Jin had passed by spontaneously.

Mu Zhenxi looked at her back and squinted, did he really want to understand? Transsexual? The lessons from the past were first, and she was always hanging in her heart, not going up or down.

Xiao Jin pressed the elevator and looked back at her: "Why haven't you come yet?"

Wooden Pillow Creek: "Come on."

Xiao Jin's gaze inadvertently went up from her ankles, from her long legs against the sky, to her slender waist, and her beautiful dark brown eyes. In less than half a second, she withdrew her eyes and concealed the burning heat. , the hand hanging by his side clenched quietly for a moment, and then released it.

Wooden Pillow Creek stood side by side with her at the elevator door and waited for the elevator.

Too quiet.

This kind of silence did not make Muxianxi feel relaxed, but made her feel that there was something dangerous hidden in the air, and this deadlock must be broken.

"Cough." Muzhenxi cleared his throat and said, "Have you brought all your documents?"

"Just this bag, I don't have anything else, it should be in my wallet." Xiao Jin raised his hand at her.

Xiao Jin's bag was placed in the back seat at the time. It was intact, and it was still usable, but... Muzhenxi said, "If there is still time later, let's go buy a new one."

"Okay, buy two more." Xiao Jin added with a smile, "If I have a lot of money in my card."

"Um."

Muzhenxi thought that she could afford a BMW, so she should not be short of money, and her wealthy family would not be short of money anyway. But then again, why doesn't Xiao Jin have her parents' numbers in her phone address book?

Last time in the hospital, Xiao Jin expressed obvious resistance to this, but could not give a reason. I don't know if it will be better now?

"Xiao Jin." Wooden pillow Brook said with consideration.

"how?"

"Do you still remember your parents' phone numbers?" asked Muzhenxi. If she is only seventeen years old, she must remember it. At that time, she was not as dependent on mobile phones as it is now. Even now, many people will remember the numbers of close people.

Xiao Jin looked at the tip of his shoe, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Remember, I called, but they have already changed the number, and the prompt is an empty number."

This road is dead.

But Muzhenxi was a little skeptical and asked, "Could it be a problem with your mobile phone, what is the number, I'll call it again?"

When the elevator arrived, Muzhenxi raised his hand to swipe the door, and the two walked in together. Muzhenxi turned to look at Xiao Jin, already had the phone in his hand, and said in a natural tone, "Report it to me."

Xiao Jin gave her a deep look.

Are you so eager to send me away?

She lowered her eyes and reported a string of numbers from her memory: "135xxxxxxxx."

Muzhenxi pressed the keys one by one, and after confirming with her, dialed the number, put the receiver to her ear, and the system prompted a female voice: "I'm sorry, the number you dialed is empty, please check and then dial..."

Wooden Pillow Creek licked his lips uncomfortably.

Xiao Jin raised his eyes and looked at her quietly: "Do you think I'm lying to you?"

Muzhenxi said with a guilty conscience: "No, I just confirm it."

Xiao Jin said: "There is another number 151xxxxxxxx, you can call it again."

Wooden Pillow Creek: "…"

Xiao Jin was silent, and looked at the side of the sedan chair.

After a few seconds, Wooden Sleeper Creek said in a low voice, "You report it again, I didn't hear it clearly."

Xiao Jin's heart froze, and he reported it slowly without any emotion. Just as the elevator reached the floor of the underground parking lot, Xiao Jin stepped on his calf and walked out first.

Wooden Pillow Creek wrote down the number in her mobile phone, saved it, and then raised her foot to chase... No, she retracted her leg and walked behind at her usual speed.

Yin Xiaoli said, be decisive and don't let her hope. Mu Zhenxi knew that her just asking for the number would probably hurt Xiao Jin's heart. Even an ordinary friend, her eagerness would hurt each other, but she had to do it.

Xiao Jin naturally found that the other party was not catching up, but instead of slowing down, she walked directly to the car of Muxianxi, holding bags in both hands, and stood waiting outside the co-pilot door.

Speechless all the way.

Solve the insurance company and the car first. Xiao Jin’s memory gap is too large, and he is not very clear about this procedure, but Muzhenxi has been accidentally scratched while driving before. , and only provide the identity of the owner of the car to ensure that the matter can be carried out normally.

There is also the issue of compensation for the driver who caused the accident. Lawyer Liu, a friend of Muxianxi, called her in the past two days. Combined with the traffic police's accident responsibility determination letter, a preliminary amount has been given, which is not much for Muxianxi, but for the accident The driver's family seemed to be in a bit of difficulty. The family members there wanted to see her or Xiao Jin, and begged for mercy, but Muzhenxi refused and asked him to follow the procedure.

So far, the follow-up matters of the car accident have been basically resolved, except that there are more people in her family.

Xiao Jin stood at the door of the bank, flipped through his wallet, did not go to the bank next door, but went to the ATM machine on the side, Muzhenxi called her back: "Do you remember the password, then go there? "

Xiao Jin gave her a faint smile: "It doesn't matter if you try it."

Wooden pillow stream had to follow her and stand a meter away from her.

Xiao Jin inserted the card into the card slot, and the interface popped out to enter the password. Once she was born and cooked twice, she calmly entered Muxianxi's birthday, and clicked to check the balance, six digits.

Wooden Pillow Creek put his hands in his trouser pockets, looking at the radio and television tower in Lincheng from afar, and by the way, he looked at the bustling pedestrians on the road. Today, the sun is not poisonous, it is not so hot, but there is a cool breeze, and the leaves are also swaying in the wind.

The summer wind is very refreshing, and the brows and eyes of Wooden Pillow Creek can't help but stretch out.

Xiao Jin looked back and saw such a picture.

She didn't approach or make a sound, just watched quietly, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and her eyes were softer than ever before.

Until Wooden Pillow Creek looked at her: "Have you tried the password?"

Xiao Jin replied, "I tried it out." Then he came down from the steps.

"How much money is there?"

"You can buy a BMW for the money on this card."

"Okay." Wooden pillow brook smiled, "don't worry you can't even buy books."

Speaking of books, Xiao Jin said, "Is there a bookstore nearby?"

Muzhenxi looked around and said, "Yes, there is a bookstore. It's not very large, but there are many books in it, and there are many interesting ones. The owner has a good taste."

Xiao Jin seemed to have caught something and asked, "Have you been there?"

Wooden Pillow Creek nodded: "I've been there."

Xiao Jin: "Then take me there."

Wooden Pillow Creek agreed.

Because of the inconvenience of parking, the two simply walked over. After a quarter of an hour, the wooden pillow stream led Xiao Jin to a book bar. The environment was secluded, and there was an artificially planted bamboo forest not far from the glass wall. .

"When did this open?"

"It's been a few years, and I was there when I moved back." Muzhenxi recalled.

"Have you come here often?" Xiao Jin asked suddenly, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Muzhenxi also realized something from her questioning, and lied and said, "No, not very often. Occasionally, when I need inspiration for painting, I will come to sit and sit."

Xiao Jin took the loss into his eyes well.

Wooden Pillow Creek clenched his fist hanging by his side, and regretted bringing her here.

Some people, even if they leave, will leave an indelible mark on your bones.

Muzhenxi used to dislike reading. On the one hand, he was not free, and on the other hand, he was not interested. Usually, he felt that it was great to read all the textbooks, and he didn't even think about extracurricular books. But Xiao Jin is different. She has a wide range of books. The books in her home are comparable to half of their school's library at that time. Muzhenxi went to her house, and most of the time, she held her chin and watched her sitting there quietly reading a book, and she didn't get tired of reading it all afternoon.

Xiao Jin was afraid that she would be bored, so she introduced books to her, but apart from the popular youth pain literature such as "The Sparrow Wants Revolution", "There Will Be Angels Love You for Me", "No. 23 Angel Street", etc., read other books and wooden pillows. Xi will doze off.

Xiao Jin got her a lot of these books, and gave her a condition, saying that if you read a serious book, you can read a novel, otherwise the two of them will have different thinking heights in the future, and they will not understand each other's words, and they will lack Common language, causing emotional crisis.

Mu Zhenxi blinked. At that time, she didn't know what a high level of thinking was, and she didn't know that Xiao Jin had thought about it for a long, long time, but Xiao Jin told her to watch it, and she just watched it, even if it was painful, biting her. Teeth should also be looked at.

Every time Xiao Jin sees her frowning and nibbling at words that are too difficult for high school students, especially those with poor foundations like Muzhenxi, she purses her lips and smiles.

Laughing too much, Wooden Pillow Creek became angry, wrapping her arms around the desk, blushing and bowing her head to kiss her.

When I saw Ming Xiaoxi and Rao Xueman, I also read Nietzsche and Voltaire word by word, even if the latter had been read and forgotten. After reading Wang Xiaobo, he said that he wanted to be a maverick pig, and he copied the half-understood love words in a notebook and gave them to Xiao Jin. In order to write love words, she practiced the dog crawling calligraphy very well. The Chinese teacher was stunned when she graded the paper, and even praised her in class.

After Xiao Jin left, she kept brooding. Every time she went to a new city, she would go to the local library or book, go there when she had time, and sat for a whole day. Covered, lying on the table and covering his face with a book, so that no one can see.

She began to read those books, reading philosophy, literature and art, history, painting, recipes, ancient and modern, all over the world, strange to say, but at this time, she could continue to read everything. Later, she gradually let go, and seldom thought of each other again, but the habit of reading books was retained. On Sundays, as long as she did not work overtime, she would come to sit, read, or chat with the boss.

There is a string of silver bells in the bookstore. When Wooden Pillow Stream and Xiao Jin passed by, the silver bells made a crisp jingle.

The woman sitting on the sofa in the doorway looked out, and when she saw the wooden pillow stream, she stood up and greeted him with a smile: "It's not the weekend, why are you here?"

Xiao Jin looked at the person in front of him, and saw that he was a little older than the two of them. He should be around 30. His eyebrows were full of energy, and he was wearing a navy blue V-neck dress. He was mature and dignified.

"I'll come when I'm free." Wooden pillow stream responded to her with a smile.

Xiao Jin heard Muxianxi's tone familiar, and his heart lifted up.

Mu Zhenxi let Xiao Jin out behind him, and introduced the woman first: "This is Xiao Jin, my friend."

Introduced to Xiao Jin: "This is the boss of the book bar. His surname is Xiao. You can call him Boss Xiao."

"What Boss Xiao, you are so annoying, why are you always making fun of me in front of others." Boss Xiao complained dissatisfiedly about the wooden pillow, then generously reached out and shook hands with Xiao Jin, smiling kindly, showing snow-white teeth :"Hello."

Looking at Wooden Pillow Creek again: "I am still from her family."

Wooden pillow brook laughed: "No, you are the bleak Xiao, she is the Xiao of the zodiac."

"Oh oh oh." Boss Xiao chuckled, "That's my misunderstanding, but the homophony is also fate, Xiao Xiao, do you mind if I call you that?"

"I don't mind." Xiao Jin was stabbed by Boss Xiao's words "others", but his face remained calm and followed with a polite smile.

Boss Xiao and Xiao Jin had a one-on-one relationship, and it was over after the introduction. He didn't take the initiative to talk to her, but blinked his big good-looking eyes and said to Muzhenxi mysteriously, "I have a surprise for you."

Wooden Pillow Creek asked, "What surprise?"

Boss Xiao said, "You come with me."

Muzhenxi glanced at Xiao Jin and said, "Sit on the sofa for a while."

Xiao Jin nodded.

Boss Xiao leaned on the shoulders of the wooden pillow, but the wooden pillow did not refuse, and the two left talking and laughing.

Xiao Jin bit his lower lip.

Muzhenxi followed Boss Xiao into a small warehouse inside. It was said to be a warehouse, but it was actually well-organized and put a lot of Boss Xiao's books. Just as Boss Xiao was about to bend over to take something, he looked back at Muzhenxi: "You Close your eyes first and stretch out both hands."

Wooden Pillow Creek muttered, "Is it necessary?" She still closed her eyes obediently.

After a while, Wooden Sleeper Creek's empty hand had an extra item, which felt like a hard-shell box.

"Okay, open your eyes."

Wooden Pillow Creek looked at the packaging box in his hand, opened it under the urging eyes of Boss Xiao, and after seeing the contents clearly, he was overjoyed, and was so surprised that he could hardly even say a word: "This is..."

What Boss Xiao gave her was a collection of character designs autographed by a foreign game artist whom she liked very much, or a to sign.

"Where are you from..."

Boss Xiao patted her on the shoulder, motioned her to calm down, and wrote lightly: "I was on a business trip abroad last time, and I happened to meet someone. I asked him if it was convenient for me to sign my name. He said it was convenient and signed it."

"Thank you. I'll treat you to dinner tonight." Wooden pillow Brook couldn't put it down, just about to turn it over, she put her hand back, closed the box, and waited for her to wash her hands when she got home.

"Do you also go to the one outside?" Boss Xiao raised his chin.

Mu Zhenxi reacted for a while, and then realized that she was talking about Xiao Jin, and she asked, "Is it inconvenient?"

Boss Xiao smacked his mouth: "It's not inconvenient, it's just that I don't know her well, will it be embarrassing to eat together?"

Muzhenxi glanced at the phone, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, he said, "Well, I'll take her back at half past five, and then we two go out together?"

Boss Xiao nodded: "Okay." He asked again, "Hey, who are you?"

Muzhenxi looked down at the cover of the album and said casually, "My friend, who else could it be?"

"Really?" Boss Xiao approached her and teased, "I think she looks at you differently."

"It's not ordinary, it's very ordinary." Wooden pillowxi said, "I won't tell you this, I'm going out to find two new books to read, the kind that I took with me."

"Take it, take it as you like." Boss Xiao shrugged and smiled.

Xiao Jin was eager to see through his eyes, and only waited until the wooden pillow brook hugged something like a baby, smiled brightly, and the pear vortex on his left cheek was much deeper. That smile was like a child who got candy, she had never smiled like that to herself.

Xiao Jin felt very sad, couldn't help standing up, took two steps in her direction, stood still, and pretended to be calm: "What are you holding in your hand?"

Wooden Pillow Creek said the truth: "A collection of paintings."

Is a picture book so happy? Xiao Jin thought.

She smiled and asked, "Whose is it?"

Muzhenxi said: "A very powerful person, you don't know if you say it."

Xiao Jin heard the clear line between her and herself, and refused to even tell the name of the artist she liked.

Muzhenxi said: "Look at what books you want to buy. She has a lot of books here. Maybe there are some on your book list. You can buy some of them first, and then add them slowly."

Xiao Jin lowered his eyes and walked towards the bookshelf.

Boss Xiao's eyes swirled between the two, his arms resting on the counter, and the corners of his lips smiled playfully.

Xiao Jin absentmindedly flipped through half of the book "A Brief History of the Future", Mu Zhenxi looked at the time, because there were other people in the book bar, she almost got close to Xiao Jin, and whispered, "We are going back."

Xiao Jin looked at the sky, it was still bright, and said in surprise, "So early?"

Muzhenxi said, "I'll take you back first, and I have to accompany Sister Xiao to dinner at night."

Xiao Jin shook his head. Before, she forced Muzhenxi to call her sister.

But this Xiao is no longer a different person. Xiao Jin's fingers hanging on his side tightened the fabric of the long skirt, frowning and said, "Then what should I do?"

Muzhenxi said, "I'll buy you a meal on the way back."

Xiao Jin: "…"

Wooden Pillow Creek: "Or wait for me to come back and make it for you? But it might be a little late."

Xiao Jin was silent.

Wooden Pillow Creek: "You choose one."

Xiao Jin felt that she was impatient with herself, tried her best to suppress the grief in her heart, twitched the corner of her mouth, squeezed out a gentle smile, and said, "Buy it on the way, I'm afraid I'll starve to death if you don't come back. "

Muzhenxi looked at the book in her hand: "Do you want to take it back to read?"

Xiao Jin closed the book and said coldly, "No."

Wooden Pillow Creek put her books back on the shelf, took two of them with her, and took them away with her collection of paintings. When they were leaving, Boss Xiao sent them to the door, pinched Muzhenxi's face, and laughed heartily. Muzhenxi ducked back, but instead of dodging, he glared at her.

Xiao Jin had a panoramic view of everything, and he couldn't go up or down in one breath, and his feet were like the wind. After a while, he threw out the wooden pillow stream seven or eight meters away.

Wooden Pillow Creek looked at her back thoughtfully.

Is this jealous?

Don't you mean you don't like yourself?

However, Xiao Jin stopped at this moment, and when Muzhenxi walked up to her, she realized that she was standing a bit wrong, her legs were tighter than usual, and her expression was written as hesitating to speak.

"Can you go faster... I'm a little anxious." Xiao Jin said.

Wooden pillow creek dispelled most of his doubts and whispered, "there is a bathroom in the book bar, why don't you solve it there."

Xiao Jin whispered, "I forgot."

Wooden pillow stream looked back and suggested, "It's too late to go back now, or we..."

"Don't." Xiao Jin looked very anxious, grabbed her wrist and walked away, "It's too troublesome to walk back, there is also a shopping mall where the parking lot is, let's hurry up."

She took the wooden pillow stream forward with a quick step, and there was a familiar coolness on the wrist, and then the place where the skin contacted each other gradually warmed up and became hot.

Wooden Pillow Creek sighed in his heart.

She led Xiao Jin around the mall to find a restroom. Muxianxi kept checking the time while waiting for others. She had an appointment with Boss Xiao at 6:30 in the evening, and she was not used to being late.

After Xiao Jin came out, she took people home and bought dinner on the way. When I got home, I put the collection of paintings and books on the porch, said "I'm going out", and hurried away.

Before Xiao Jin even finished taking off his shoes, the door was already closed.

She slowly took off her shoes, staring at the two pairs of slippers placed together for a while, wearing the pair of Wooden Pillow Creek. Then he slowly sat down on the sofa, the pair of black and white cups in front of him again, and the corners of his lips curled up mockingly.

What's the use of preparing so many things for couples at home, the people who use it are not lovers anymore, these are dead things without any meaning.

No wonder Wooden Pillow Creek didn't mind.

She didn't even care about herself, how could she care about these things.

For the first time, Xiao Jin felt at a loss, and painfully inserted five fingers into her hair. She seemed to be floating on a dark sea without a lighthouse, and the only driftwood she could catch had been abandoned by her.

***

"…What do you think?"

"Huh? What do you think?" Wooden pillow stream slowly cut a piece of lamb chop and put it in his mouth.

"This is the fourth time I've talked to you, you didn't hear me." Boss Xiao put down his knife and fork, resting his cheek with one hand, so that he could look at her for a while, "What are you thinking about after being absent-minded all night?"

"I didn't think of anything." Wooden pillow stream lowered his eyes.

"The one who came with you this afternoon is the one you like, right?"

Wooden pillow brook choked, looked up at her with wide eyes.
