Stay Safe

There was a thud in Xiao Jin's head, and almost nothing could be heard.

Xu Yuanxin looked puzzled and said, "I was very surprised at the time, you and her have such a good relationship, why did you choose to go abroad at this time, and the school did not start abroad. And the child in Muzhenxi is very lonely, and the news of her grandmother's illness is the whole class. My classmates don't know, and they specifically told me not to tell anyone..."

Xu Yuanxin raised his eyes as he spoke, only to find that the young woman sitting across from him was full of tears.

"What's the matter?" Xu Yuanxin stopped talking, took out two tissues and handed them over, and pushed them over with the paper box on the table, why are you still crying?

Xiao Jin pressed the corners of her eyes with a tissue, but to no avail, more and more tears fell from her eyes.

Xu Yuanxin stood up worriedly.

Xiao Jin wiped away tears with one hand, raised the other hand to signal Xu Yuanxin to rest assured, and choked: "I'm fine, teacher, I'll go to the bathroom first."

Xu Yuanxin sat down and said softly, "Go, go, do you know where the bathroom is?"

Xiao Jin nodded.

Xu Yuanxin picked up a cup of tea for himself. He didn't have class for a while, so he sat in the office and waited for Xiao Jin. At the same time, a lot of doubts arose in my heart. Nine years ago, Xiao Jin went abroad very suddenly without any notice in advance, including that she did not come to class and did not say hello to herself in advance. He even called Xiao Jin because he was worried. At that time, it was either Xiao Jin's father or her mother who answered the phone, and Xiao Jin never answered the phone. As the head teacher, he didn't think much about being able to connect with parents. Why listen to Xiao Jin now, she doesn't know about it?

There is also Muzhenxi, which is even more mysterious. Two months after the college entrance examination, Xu Yuanxin received a call from Xiao Jin and asked about Muzhenxi. He told the truth that Xiao Jin seemed to be hit hard. do not know?

What is even more strange is that now, I have already asked once, and now I am asking again?

Xu Yuanxin opened the tea lid and took a sip of the hot tea, his brows slowly furrowed in thought. The person in front of him is Xiao Jin, it's not wrong, the change in appearance is not particularly big, you can see what he looked like back then.

There was a knock on the door again.

Xiao Jin walked in and sat down again. After sorting out his emotions, Xiao Jin didn't have any abnormality except that his eyes were a little red.

Xu Yuanxin squinted slightly and said, "Xiao Jin, can you show me your ID card?"

Xiao Jin: "…"

Xu Yuanxin confirmed the name on the ID card and was relieved that this person was not a fake.

Xu Yuanxin smiled warmly: "Is there anything else you want to ask me?"

Xiao Jin asked about the details of that year, knowing that Muzhenxi took time off from time to time in the second semester of high school because of her grandmother's illness. At that time, the college entrance examination was approaching, and the students were too busy to care about others, and Muzhenxi did not like to make friends. People, her absence in class did not attract the attention of her classmates, and Xu Yuanxin helped her keep it a secret, so no one in the class knew what happened to her.

Mu Zhenxi's grades were not bad. I could have been admitted to the first middle school without a weak foundation, but it was a little "degenerate" later. With Xiao Jin's one-on-one help, the grades improved very quickly. The problem is, who knows what happened to my grandmother later, the college entrance examination only took the second tier, and she was the only one in the class who only took the second tier. Her family's conditions were very difficult. Her parents were both married, and they didn't care about her at all. There was only one grandmother who supported her. When her grandmother was not diagnosed with cancer, she was very old and could not afford a child to go to college anyway. The death of my grandmother was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Xu Yuanxin said: "I saw the child once after the college entrance examination. He was dumbfounded and reacted very slowly, as if his soul had been drained. I told her that if I didn't pass the exam this year, I could repeat it for another year. Or go straight to university without repeating the study. Although the second book is not as good as the heavy book, it is worse than no study. If she has no money, I can lend her a temporary loan and pay it back after I work. There is still work in the university. Helping to study or something is nothing more than hard work, and you can study."

Xiao Jin had already expected the result, took two deep breaths, suppressed the hoarseness in her throat, and said, "Did she say she stopped reading?"

Muzhenxi is a person with very strong self-esteem. He lives in a rented house with his grandmother. When his grandmother is old, she can't make much money. She has to pay rent, manage daily expenses, and support a child to go to school. Especially after nine years of compulsory education, the cost of going to school in Muzhenxi has skyrocketed. In order to relieve her grandmother's burden, she secretly went out to work after school, worked night shifts, couldn't make it during the day, and was often criticized by teachers for sleeping in class. When she was called to the office, she would rather be criticized than tell the teacher the truth. If it weren't for the critical period of the third year of high school, she would have to give the class teacher a legitimate reason for frequently asking for leave, and I'm afraid she wouldn't even say this. Grandma passed away, failed the college entrance examination, and she left without saying goodbye, Muzhenxi must have been desperate at that time, how could she still study, no wonder she left the sad place of Lincheng.

Xu Yuanxin sighed: "Yes, she said she didn't read it anymore. I persuaded her, but she refused to listen, and then there was no news." Xu Yuanxin shook his head and sighed with emotion, "I don't know what's going on now, back then. It's always been a pity of mine that I didn't persuade her."

Xiao Jin said softly, "It's fine now, I found her."

Xu Yuanxin looked up at her with a smile on his face: "Really, what is she doing?"

Xiao Jin said: "I have a serious job and a high salary. We also attended a class reunion a while ago."

Xu Yuanxin smiled with relief: "That's good, as long as she has a good life."

Xiao Jin asked, "Teacher, are you free for a while? May I invite you to dinner?"

Xu Yuanxin looked at his watch and said, "I'm free, but I might have to wait a while. I have something to do here."

Xiao Jin said, "It's okay, you're busy, call me when you're done, and I'll come pick you up."

The two exchanged their current contact information.

Xu Yuanxin looked down at the lesson plan, and Xiao Jin went out alone.

She wandered aimlessly on the campus, and her brain recalled the campus time she and Wooden Pillow Creek had once again and again. Muzhenxi has a strong self-esteem and a stubborn temper. Before the liberal arts and science classes, he would play with his classmates, laugh and make trouble, but his eyes were always loose, with a vague sense of distance. Xiao Jin was attracted by the sense of distance and mystery on her body, like a beautiful poppy, enticing her to approach step by step. After peeling off the camouflage of the hard shell, she was the only one who saw the extremely soft and kind and strong heart wrapped in layers.

Xiao Jin was reluctant to let go after seeing it. She wanted to monopolize the beauty. She took every step of the way and successfully picked this rose with soft thorns. It was the most extreme thing she had ever had in her life of joy.

Xiao Jin looked up at the blue sky above her head, her vision gradually blurred, but she did not know why she lost this rose for ten years.

If she had never approached Wood Pillow Creek, maybe she would have been less miserable.

She can be twice as good to Wooden Pillow Stream, a hundred times a thousand times better, but how can she go back to the past and embrace the lonely, helpless and weeping Wooden Pillow Stream?

Xiao Jin lowered his head, wiped his eyes hastily twice, and shook his head. The matter has come to this point, and it is meaningless to think about it before.

She regrouped and cheered up, and just as she planned to plan the next thing in her mind, the phone in her pocket rang.

Caller ID: Wooden Pillow Creek.

She originally noted her girlfriend in the hospital with the indulgence of Wooden Pillow Stream, but later she changed it after she learned of the breakup.

The wooden pillow creek's voice from the receiver was mature and steady: "My interview is over, do you need me to pick you up?"

Xiao Jin almost burst into tears. Thinking of how much hardship she has endured for so many years, she couldn't help clenching her teeth and vaguely felt the smell of blood.

Muzhenxi didn't hear a response, looked at the call interface, and called out again, "Xiao Jin?"

Xiao Jin loosened his teeth, cleared his throat, and replied, "Yes."

Wooden pillow stream: "I said my interview is over, how are you doing there, do you need me to pick you up?"

Xiao Jin said, "I want to invite the teacher to dinner. I may have to go back later. Do you want to come with me?"

"No, then I'll go home first." As expected, Wooden Sleeper Creek did not agree.

Xiao Jin thought to herself that she probably disliked this school very much, and she disliked her school days, including herself in it.

Wooden Pillow Creek paused, then said, "You can call me before dinner is over, and I'll go pick you up."

Xiao Jin replied in a low voice, "Okay."

Wooden Pillow Creek said, "Goodbye."

Xiao Jin replied, "Goodbye."

The phone hung up over there, and there was a beeping busy tone.

Xiao Jin wandered around the school until six o'clock in the afternoon, and Xu Yuanxin called her and said that she could go out to eat. Settled in a neat and clean home-cooked restaurant, Xu Yuanxin refused to let her invite someone who was too high-end.

Xiao Jin's memory only lasted until the second semester of high school, and he got a lot of information from Xu Yuanxin on and off. She is one of the best students Xu Yuanxin has ever brought. Xu Yuanxin is very impressed. Even if time has passed for a long time, the things at that time are still straightforward.

A meal enjoyed by the host and guests.

It was almost nine o'clock, Xu Yuanxin got up and left first, Xiao Jin settled the bill, and wandered slowly on the road. She didn't call Muxianxi, she didn't know how to face each other, she just wanted to delay the time for a while.

At ten o'clock, the phone call from Wooden Sleeper Creek came.

"have you eaten?"

"just ended."

"Place."

"I'll take a taxi back."

There was a breath of silence over there, and he said, "...Also."

Then the phone disconnected.

Without continuing to turn around, Xiao Jin stopped a taxi on the side of the road and reported her home address. After 20 minutes, she entered the community and walked for a while. She paused and looked up to see the wooden pillow stream home lit up. lamp.

What do you think our house will look like in the future?

Xiao Jin shook his head.

During the summer vacation of the second year of high school, Muzhenxi rarely went to work one day and stayed with his girlfriend. Xiao Jin is nestled on the sofa at home, with two legs resting on the legs of Wooden Pillow Creek, with one hand stretched out delicately. Wooden Pillow Creek holds nail clippers in his hand, holds her palms and fingers, and cuts her nails patiently and carefully. , Xiao Jin is a problem, the nails are too long and uncomfortable, too short and bare, they grow fast, and they must be cut to a suitable length. Wooden pillow stream will grind it for her little by little, and then ask Princess Xiao if she can.

Xiao Jin looked at her focused profile, reached out to pinch her only fleshy chin, and said with a smile, "What about you, please answer quickly."

Wooden pillow creek's voice is low: "Listen to you."

Xiao Jin said displeasedly, "Can you be a little opinionated? Listen to me in everything."

Mu Zhenxi looked up at her and smiled, thought seriously for a while, and said, "Don't be so big, you can't hear anything upstairs and downstairs."

Xiao Jin smiled and said, "Then two rooms? Three rooms?"

Muzhenxi said: "Two bedrooms is more economical, but it's better to buy three bedrooms."

Xiao Jin asked, "Why?"

Wooden Pillow Creek bit his lips and said nothing.

Xiao Jin took his hand out of her hand, approached her, and watched her white face slowly turn red under his gaze, teasing, "Why are you blushing?"

Wooden Pillow Creek's lips moved a few times.

Xiao Jin put his ear close to him and asked, "What did you say?"

Muzhenxi looked at her white and tender earlobe that was close at hand, her eyes were slightly warm, and she kissed it.

Xiao Jin was so tickled by her kiss that she wanted to hide when she heard a soft voice ringing in her ear: "What if there is a baby in the future?"

Xiao Jin laughed until tears almost came out and almost fell onto the sofa.

"Both of us are women, how can we have a baby?" Xiao Jin touched her hot face and teased, "Baby Xixi, did you sleep in biology class before? You will be punished to do ten math papers."

"I didn't sleep!" Wooden Pillow Creek immediately affirmed, and stammered, "I-I didn't mean that."

Xiao Jin calmly said, "Then what do you mean?"

Mu Zhenxi looked at her for a long time, hesitated to speak, and finally lowered his head in anger: "No more."

Wooden pillow creek has a critical value for shyness. Before the critical value, no matter how funny she is, Xiao Jin never tires of it, and takes testing her bottom line as her long-term goal. Once the critical value is exceeded, Xiao Jin has to reap the consequences and coax people back in a good voice.

…

A neighbor passing by glanced at Xiao Jin strangely, Xiao Jin exhaled, moved his pace, and walked towards the house.

Fingerprint, password, unlock the door skillfully, enter the door, turn on the light.

The living room was empty.

Xiao Jin shouted at the closed study door: "I'm back."

After three seconds, footsteps were heard inside, the door of the study was opened, and a slender figure of a woman appeared in the light: "I'm back."

Mu Zhenxi felt that Xiao Jin's gaze was a little different from before, as if he had never seen her before, and gave her a deep look.

Mu Zhenxi crossed his arms with both hands, leaning on the door frame and didn't go back: "What did you talk to the teacher about?"

Xiao Jin hung his bag on the stand hanger at the door, turned his neck, pulled out a natural smile, and said, "Just talking about some interesting things about his student days, he also said that today's students are getting smarter and less intelligent. Good to bring."

Wooden Pillow Creek: "Nowadays children are well nourished, and of course their brains turn fast."

Xiao Jin blinked: "But the teacher said that I have never met someone smarter than me."

Wooden pillow creek couldn't help but bent the corner of his mouth and said, "narcissism."

Xiao Jin laughed.

The two chatted at a distance, and Xiao Jin found that this could reduce the resistance of the wooden pillow stream. If he didn't go there, he simply stayed in the living room and talked to the wooden pillow stream.

After chatting some innocuous things, Xiao Jin said tentatively, "The teacher still talked about you."

She held her breath.

Wooden Pillow Creek answered quickly: "What about me?"

Xiao Jin felt a little relieved, and said after deliberation: "If you say that you are not good at communicating with people, you may suffer a disadvantage when you enter the society. I wonder if it is better now?"

Mu Zhenxi smiled and said, "It's been so long ago. I have a lot of friends now. Do you think I can't communicate with people?"

Xiao Jin turned her back to her: "That's good, next time I meet the teacher, I can talk to him."

She also wanted to find another topic to talk about, and Muzhenxi said, "I haven't finished the painting at hand. I'll go back first. You take a shower and go to bed earlier."

Xiao Jin didn't want her to leave so soon, so she hurriedly said, "Work."

"Oh." Muzhenxi nodded his forehead and smiled, "I almost forgot to tell you, I'm not very satisfied with this company today, I plan to reply and refuse, and go to another one tomorrow."

"when?"

"It's also afternoon."

"Okay."

"The day after tomorrow, I will take you to the hospital for an MRI. Don't ask anyone out."

Xiao Jin suddenly burst into laughter: "How can I have an appointment?"

"Let me know in advance." Mu Zhenxi said indifferently, she said in her heart that you are not going to invite the teacher to dinner today, in case you have another classmate or new friend, it is not impossible, I am a necessary reminder.

"I promise." Xiao Jin made a swearing gesture.

Wooden Pillow Creek looked at her and said, "Don't be so serious."

The door of the study closed again in front of his eyes, Xiao Jin nestled into the sofa, hugged the pillow, broke apart every word and every word of the wooden pillow, and chewed it until the sweetness of the tongue melted into the heart. give up.

When she was taking a bath, she thought again that Muzhenxi once told her the most crucial point, that they quarreled and broke up before going abroad. Why did they quarrel? Is it about her parents?

Xiao Jin didn't lie to Muxianxi last time. The two numbers she remembered were either replaced or empty, and there was really no way to get through. But if you have to contact her parents, it is not impossible.

Xiao Jin had her cousin Lu Ling's number in her hand. She couldn't find it, but Lu Ling would definitely be able to find them both.

Xiao Jin wiped her hair and came out of the bathroom, sitting on the bed in the bedroom, hesitating about the number in the address book: Do you really want to find her parents? Why is he so conflicted in his heart, even to the point of disgust.

Now that the numbers have been deleted, have you broken up with your parents?

It wasn't until Xiao Jin dried her hair that she didn't make up her mind. She lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling above her head in a daze.

dong dong.

The door rang, and the only one at home who would knock on her door was Wooden Sleeper Creek.

Xiao Jin unbuttoned the four buttons of the collar of the pajamas, and opened them to the waist and abdomen. After careful adjustment, he changed his posture of sitting on the bed and reading a book, and said lazily, "Come in."

Wooden Pillow Creek glanced at her, and immediately looked away as if burned, and said, "I'll get a new towel."

Xiao Jin couldn't help laughing, and said calmly, "Take it, it's in the cabinet, right?"

"Yes." Wooden pillow stream walked to the cabinet without looking sideways, took out new bath towels and towels from the top layer, and turned to leave.

Xiao Jin stopped her: "Wooden Pillow Creek, do you dream when you sleep at night?"

I don't know why Xiao Jin asked this, but Muzhenxi immediately remembered that spring dream, and suddenly it was not good, so he tried his best to maintain his composure: "Why are you asking this?"

Xiao Jin just had nothing to say and wanted to have a few more words with her. Unexpectedly, this question seemed to be a pleasant surprise. She suddenly became interested and asked, "Do you dream, and what type are you usually?"

Wooden pillow Brook lied: "Dream of falling from a high place." According to folklore, dreaming of falling from a high place in a dream indicates that you are growing your body.

Xiao Jincao said, "How old are you, and how long are you?"

When I mentioned this, Xiao Jin was on fire. It was obvious that when she knew Muzhenxi, the two of them were the same height. In the end, Muzhenxi grew taller and taller, and was half a head taller than her.

Muzhenxi obviously also remembered this, and smiled back, his teeth were particularly white, and he said proudly: "Twenty-eight, what are you doing? Are you jealous?"

Xiao Jin raised the pillow in his hand, put it down, and said, "My height is just right, why should I be jealous of you?"

The corner of Muzhenxi's mouth turned down and whispered, "The dead duck has a hard mouth."

In the past, Muzhenxi was often pinched by Xiao Jin because of the sudden jump. Xiao Jin's pinch was really painful. Wherever the meat was tender, where to pinch, Muzhenxi's skin was thin, white, and transparent, and there was a mark when pinched. After pinching Xiao Jin, he regretted it again. He kissed wherever he pinched, and tortured Muzhenxi to the point of being unable to do so.

Xiao Jin asked sharply, "What did you say?"

Muzhenxi restrained his overly bright smile and said, "It's nothing, I'm going to take a bath."

Xiao Jin chased after her step out and added: "Don't go any longer, do you hear me?" Don't say that kissing is going to tiptoe, it's hard to touch your head.

"That's not something I can decide, I'll try my best." Wooden pillow stream closed the door with a smile.

Xiao Jin was in a good mood and rolled on the bed a few times, covering her face with a pillow to cover her laughter.

On the other side, after taking a shower and looking in the mirror, Muzhenxi found that he had been humming a song. He was still humming "True Love" that Xiao Jin had been talking about in the past two days. Muzhenxi watched a few episodes of the TV series, and remember the lyrics of the theme song. .

Singing and singing, the corner of the woman's mouth in the mirror, which reached her ears, slowly returned to its normal curvature. Wooden pillow Brook looked at the mirror for a long time, slowly suppressing her turbulent mood.

Can't get stuck in anymore.

She closed her eyes, exhaled lightly, carried the clothes in the bathroom to the balcony, washed them with a basin of cold water, and poured a basin of cold water on her brain to cool down.

Wooden Pillow Creek returned to the living room, turned off the light, lay down on the ground, covered the quilt, and closed his eyes to sleep.

Xiao Jin woke up once in the middle of the night, got up to go to the bathroom, and drank too much drinks during dinner with the teacher at night. She originally planned to go back to sleep, but she turned her eyes to the direction of the living room, but she couldn't move her footsteps.

Would you like to take a look at Wooden Pillow Creek?

As soon as this thought came out, Xiao Jin had already stepped forward. Through the weak light of the night, Xiao Jin saw the sleeping wooden pillow stream lying on the ground, breathing gently.

Xiao Jin thought about only taking one look, and when she really saw it, she wanted to take a second look and get closer. When she regained her senses, she was already sitting beside Muxianxi, her index finger almost touching her warm lips.

Xiao Jin retracted his hand and stroked her face through the air, with a satisfied smile in his eyes.

She was sneaking around, but Muzhenxi suddenly opened her eyes, so frightened that Xiao Jin almost stopped his heart and didn't dare to move.

Muzhenxi sighed helplessly: "Why are you here again?"

Xiao Jin: "???"

The author has something to say: Xibao, who thought she had a spring dream again: What tricks do you have?

Jin Bao was pushed down in a daze.
