Stay Safe

Xiao Jin didn't move, didn't say anything.

Lu Xiaojun regained his senses first and cast a reproachful look at her husband, feeling complicated. Father Xiao slowly released the big hand holding Xiao Jin's shoulder, walked out from behind her embarrassedly, and apologized awkwardly and awkwardly: "I'm sorry." It was he who got carried away.

Xiao Jin's fingers hanging on his side tightened. Before she could clench into a fist, she was already held by the woman's warm palm, and the corners of Muzhenxi's lips curved towards her.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Lu Xiaoyun took the lead to break the deadlock: "I'm eating a bit too much, is there any place to shop around here?"

Wooden pillow creek said softly at the right time: "Auntie likes more people or less people?"

Lu Xiaoyun: "There are few people." He can still talk for a while.

Wooden pillow stream took Xiao's parents to a nearby park. The vegetation was dense and the branches were swaying in the wind. It was just in summer to reduce the heat.

Father Xiao continued to maintain his serious personality, and Xiao Jin was not very interested. Only Lu Xiaojun and Muzhenxi acted as if they were nothing, and brought down the harmonious scenes at the dinner table.

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

Lu Xiaojun immediately said, "Is it very troublesome to evaluate the title in China?" She has done basic work. Since she learned that Xiao Jin returned to China to become a teacher, she has checked a lot of information.

Xiao Jin said indifferently: "It's okay, I'm just writing a paper."

Lu Xiaojun said, "Do you still want to compile books?"

Xiao Jin said: "Well, you can co-author."

The mother and daughter asked and answered each question, and each sentence of Xiao Jin's answer did not exceed ten words.

Wooden Pillow Creek: "…"

***

After sending the elders into the car and watching the two leave, Muzhenxi and Xiao Jin went home.

"Did you and your mother usually talk like this?" Muzhenxi poured a glass of water for Xiao Jin and gave it to her.

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

"I'm serious with you." Wooden Sleeper Stream showed a dissatisfied look.

"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." He didn't bother to change it.

"Don't you think it's unfamiliar?" said Wooden Sleeper Creek.

"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 chose a movie to open.

Wooden Pillow Creek took a deep breath and stood in front of her.

"You blocked me from watching TV." Xiao Jin raised his hand and patted her leg.

"you are not happy?"

"no."

"You're just unhappy." Wooden Pillow Creek said firmly, with a rare strength.

Xiao Jin paused the movie.

Wooden Pillow Creek sat down on the ground in front of her.

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

Mu Zhenxi looked startled, and suddenly got up again, "I just lost my memory, you didn't find it."

Xiao Jin: "Hahaha." He laughed out loud.

Seeing her smile, Wooden Pillow Creek followed with his eyes, which made it easier to talk later.

"I don't think your relationship with your parents is right," she said.

I have never eaten pork and I have seen a pig run. How can there be such a strict family.

Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows slightly.

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

Xiao Jin smiled and said, "So?"

She did it, and Muzhenxi was stunned. She only wanted to talk about this step, shouldn't Xiao Jin say it next?

Xiao Jin patted her head with a little pity in his eyes: "Don't worry about this."

She has been raised like this for so many years, how can it be achieved overnight. When she was a child, she would still wonder why it was like this, why she was different from most children, she had a lot of whys, but now she doesn't, and she has no urge to change it.

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

The world is so big, who said that a family like her is maverick? There are always people like her who are doing well.

"I didn't care, I just wanted to make you happy," said Muzhenxi.

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

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

After pinching it, she blew it again, but in short, I didn't want to talk about this topic with Muzhenxi.

***

When Mother Xiao came home, she sat on the sofa and didn't move.

Father Xiao took off his suit, put on his home clothes, and used his tablet to read the news. He was absent-minded. He watched and laughed for a while, and said to Lu Xiaoyun, "Our daughter-in-law is really good. Xiao Jin is very discerning, just like me."

Lu Xiaoyun casually said, "Well."

Father Xiao was surprised: "Aren't you satisfied? You chatted with her for so long."

"Well." Lu Xiaoyun's eyes were erratic, and his voice was perfunctory.

Father Xiao raised his voice to call her back to her senses: "What do you think?"

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 have more fun.

Lu Xiaoyun excused being sleepy and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

***

Xiao Jin fell asleep on the sofa halfway through watching the movie. Wooden pillow Xi moved her head off his lap, put her head on the pillow, covered her with a blanket, and walked out the door lightly.

She goes to the supermarket to buy food. She doesn't have time to cook. She can have a little time every week on Sunday. She originally wanted to watch the movie and call Xiao Jin together. went alone.

Wooden pillow creek pushed the car familiarly and walked towards the vegetable and meat area, when the phone rang halfway.

Xiao Jin called.

"Where have you been?" There was a nasal sound, and he should have just woken up.

"supermarket."

"Why didn't you call me?"

"You fell asleep."

"Um."

Muzhenxi listened to the rustling movement over there, and seemed to have turned over. Sure enough, I heard Xiao Jin say, "I just woke up, I didn't find you at home, and now I'm lying in bed."

"Shouldn't you find me first and then lie down on the bed?" Wooden Pillow Creek said with a smile.

"Sleepy..." Xiao Jin replied, burying her face in the pillow, humming, and acting like a spoiled child, "I almost fell while walking."

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

Immediately heard the nervous voice of Muxinxi: "Where did you hit?"

"No." Xiao Jin was satisfied. She lied to her, a little fright is enough, no matter how much she has, her conscience will not go away.

"Walk slowly, see the road clearly, and then walk. Be obedient at home, I will go back soon." Muzhenxi spoke in a very gentle tone, and a young mother holding the child next to her glanced at her with a knowing smile. , patted his baby's head.

Wooden Pillow Creek also smiled at her.

The two exchanged glances of the same kind.

The child is incredibly well-behaved. Seeing her mother stop, she shouted in a clear, childlike voice, "Hello, Auntie."

The heart of the wooden pillow is about to melt, so I squatted down and said, "Hello, little one."

The child looked at her, suddenly hid behind her mother, stuck her head out, and blushed with shyness: "Auntie, you look so good-looking."

The mother kept laughing.

As soon as the young mother left, Muzhenxi 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 shouted, "Mom."

Wooden Pillow Creek: "…"

Xiao Jin: "Aren't the thorns irritating?"

Wooden Pillow Stream: "..." It's not exciting, but it is scary.

Xiao Jin: "Next time I'll shout in bed."

Muzhenxi didn't even think about it: "No." She doesn't have this hobby.

Xiao Jin said: "You change your mind. I can't stand it because of what you did. I cried and called my mother. Is this exciting?"

Wooden Pillow Creek was silent again.

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

Xiao Jin has already got the answer, and smiled with satisfaction: "I'll shout like that next time."

Wooden Pillow Creek was silent for a moment again, took a few steps away from the crowd, and whispered: "How did you become like this now?"

"How am I?" Xiao Jin couldn't help laughing.

"Aren't you embarrassed?" Wooden pillow Brook lowered his tone.

"No, you're already very embarrassed. No matter how embarrassed I am, how did the two of us get along? Could it be possible to keep looking at each other? How boring." Xiao Jin said, "Don't you like it?"

"…"

"I know you like it, but I'm timid and scared. I understand. It's good to get used to it." Xiao Jin was quite content.

This is not what Muzhenxi was thinking at the moment. Every time Xiao Jin said something good in his mouth, he started to babble nonsense again. The words in his mouth were not what she and Muzhenxi had said before.

"I hope you'll keep your word." Wooden pillow Brook said meaningfully.

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

"How long have you been sober?" She was about to ask clearly, but Wooden Pillow Creek had already asked again.

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

"Is it okay to have a drink?"

"Should not." As long as you don't drink alcohol on purpose.

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

Xiao Jin was no longer sleepy chatting with her, sat up, and Mu Zhenxi changed the Bluetooth headset from her bag.

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

When the door was opened, Xiao Jin stood at the entrance of the entrance and waited to pick up the large pockets of plastic bags in her hand. Muzhenxi raised his hand to avoid it and said, "It's too heavy, you can't carry it, I'll put the door. It's fine."

Xiao Jin was unconvinced and insisted on picking it up. As soon as he picked it up, his shoulders sank along with the plastic bag. There was a deliberate element. Wooden pillow stream didn't care about half of his shoes, so he quickly gave her a hand and said angrily, "All It's important to tell you, I'll come later."

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

Wooden pillow creek clapped cooperatively: "Wow, that's amazing!"

Really like a mother coaxing a baby.

Wooden Pillow Creek reacted and burst out laughing.

Xiao Jin turned his head.

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

Xiao Jin snorted: "It's not that I don't know." He opened the refrigerator door and put two cans in it. Wooden pillow stream bought a lot, and it was quite pleasant to drink cold beer in summer.

Wooden Pillow Creek smiled behind her: "Baby is so smart."

"Are you stimulated by something? You are so stimulated by that young mother that you want to have a baby?" Xiao Jin frowned a little.

"Hmm." Wooden Pillow Creek responded indiscriminately.

Xiao Jin stopped putting the beer, turned around, and his eyes fell on her face: "Really?"

Muzhenxi sat on the sofa, hugged one of the pillows, 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 the tutor is also very good. If she and Xiao Jin's child, it will definitely be better than this child.

Xiao Jin saw her expression and knew that she liked it very much. After all, he is someone who can think of raising a child in the future.

"I like it." So Xiao Jin replied to her.

"Then..." Muzhenxi almost blurted out, "Let's have one." For a moment, he remembered that he didn't even ask for marriage, and tightened his arms around the pillow, "Let's discuss it after a while."

It looks like the proposal has to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Although Xiao Jin wondered that her expression had changed a few times, she did not forget to remind her, "I want to spend two years in a two-person world first." Having children or not has a great impact on life.

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

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

"No." Wooden Sleeper Creek quickly denied.

She just linked the two years to the marriage proposal. In the world of two people, it must include honeymoon trips, marriage proposals, marriages, honeymoons, two years, it seems to be a long time, but it is actually very short. Silently reciting words.

Xiao Jin: "…"

It's been weird lately.

There was steam in the bathroom.

The two butterfly bones on Xiao Jin's back were worn red and stuck to the icy tiles. It was extremely cold behind him and extremely hot in front of him. His chin was against the shoulder of the wooden pillow. Go with the flow.

Wildfire jumped on the skin, gradually starting a prairie fire.

At the last moment, Xiao Jin seemed to suddenly wake up, desperate, struggling violently, wanting to avoid, want to escape. Wooden Pillow Creek was tightly entangled in her, gentle but domineering, imprisoned in her arms and unable to escape, softly coaxing her: "Wait, wait..."

Xiao Jin whimpered.

Mu Zhenxi remembered her words during the day, bit her ear maliciously and said, "Call mom."

Xiao Jin cried and said, "Go away."

Wooden Pillow Creek shrugged his shoulders and couldn't help laughing.

"Did I get away?" She walked away slowly.

"You dare!" Xiao Jin immediately grabbed her wrist, rubbing her cheeks against her neck, panting heavily, and said impatiently, "Hurry up, hurry up..."

do not stop.

Consciousness collapsed little by little, dragged into the abyss of sinking.

Xiao Jin fell asleep before she got to the bed. This time she slept very deeply. Muzhenxi knew her physical strength. Once she had enough strength, she would definitely fall asleep twice, and she couldn't wake up from thunder.

Muzhenxi 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, Muxinxi called Yin Xiaoli.

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

"Speak human words!" Muzhenxi shouted unhappily. Recently, Yin Xiaoli Sichun has been thinking crazy, and she is just idle, talking to her all day long.

"Yes." Yin Xiaoli counseled.

"Come out with me?"

"What?"

"Buy a diamond ring."

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

"Are you fast enough?"

"It's unhappy, there are a lot of things to do." Wooden pillow brook said. You can’t ask for a diamond ring as soon as you buy it, you have to find the right time. She was really too busy with work, and even bought a diamond ring, she had to ask for leave and sneak out, otherwise Xiao Jin would find out that she had been asking for leave recently, Zhang Hanxia didn't say anything, only told her to finish the work, Muzhenxi was very embarrassed.

Sometimes she wondered how she had found such a job, but the salary was high, and if she wanted to have both bread and love, she always had to pay something.

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

"When are you free?"

"at any time."

"Then today." Wooden Pillow Creek said, "I'm going to ask for leave now."

Yin Xiaoli tut tut tut non-stop.

Wooden Pillow Creek hung up the phone.

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

Wooden Pillow Creek said, "It's marriage."

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

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 good diamond ring styles to recommend? Money is not a problem, I want the most expensive one!"

Great tone, a big style. Not annoying, but rather hilarious.

Wooden Pillow Creek: "…"

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

Yin Xiaoli coughed, then smiled and said, "If there is anything suitable, let us see it."

She has a kind face, and when she smiles, she becomes more amiable, with crooked eyes.

The shopping guide pursed her lips and chuckled, a little more sincere than the smile of welcoming guests, and said gently, "Please come with me."

The shopping guide went to the front, Yin and Mu went to the back, Mu Zhenxi tugged Yin Xiaoli's sleeve and whispered, "Are you sick?"

Yin Xiaoli said, "Just kidding, you see how happy people are laughing."

She pointed to the shopping guide who was wearing professional attire, and suddenly thought about it and whispered: "She seems to be a little good-looking, Xiaojiabiyu, do you want me to..."

Mu Zhenxi gave her a disgusting 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 a dazzling array of diamond rings made the wooden pillow stream dazzled. She looked carefully one by one, seemingly focused, but her mind was blank.

She asked for marriage!

She actually asked for marriage!

The object of marriage proposal is Xiao Jin!

What should I do if I start to get nervous without asking? !

Yin Xiaoli played the role of her best friend very seriously and responsibly. In fact, her ex boyfriend wanted to talk to her about marriage, and secretly rubbed together to prepare a surprise marriage proposal, which scared Yin Xiaoli to break up on the spot, and there were more than one. Although they all refused, Yin Xiaoli boasted that she had a little more experience than Muzhenxi. She still understands about Hearts and Arrows.

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 Muzhenxi her hand.

"..." Wooden Pillow Creek was unmoved.

Yin Xiaoli rubbed her shoulder, and Muzhenxi suddenly returned to her senses: "What's wrong?"

"Is your old man wandering around here? Who is proposing?" Yin Xiaoli took the opportunity to stab her and continued, "Look at this, does it look good?"

Muzhenxi looked at it and nodded: "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 not listen to her shopping guide chatter for a long time?

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

Wooden pillow stream has no concept at all. It would have been good to have known her for a while, but Xiao Jin is so smart, if she missed her words, she would have guessed it, and then there would be no surprises.

Yin Xiaoli glanced at the face of the shopping guide, smiling, but she gritted her teeth secretly, and bit her ears with Muzhenxi: "Do you know how much this diamond is worth? Hundreds of thousands! The money has been bought for a diamond ring, do you still want it? I'm married! Don't need money for a banquet? A prodigal thing!"

Muzhenxi digs out his ears and listens humbly to the teachings.

Mom said yes.

"Let's take a look." This time, Muzhenxi calmed down, picked a diamond ring, and bought a matching ring by the way. The outer ring of the matching ring is set with broken diamonds, which is not cheaper than a diamond ring.

"If you need it, you can go back to our store and engrave the ring for free." The shopping guide put the identification certificate and the box with the ring in it into a beautiful bag and handed it over.

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

Wooden Pillow Creek stuffed the bag into Yin Xiaoli's arms.

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

Wooden Pillow Creek: "...Who wants to give it to you? Leave it for me, I'll go back to the company, it's not appropriate to bring this."

Yin Xiaoli: "You put it in your bag."

Wooden Pillow Stream: "The bag is too small to fit."

"Leave the bag, just the box."

"I will definitely be found by Xiao Jin when I bring it home. Help me hide for a while."

Yin Xiaoli had to take the packaging bag tremblingly. This small bag contained hundreds of thousands of items, and she had to save it for several years without eating or drinking. If it disappears at her house, where will she pay for it?

Yin Xiaoli and Muzhenxi were about to cry when they went back, and Chu Chu looked at her pitifully.

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

"My house is not safe at all, and it was thieves last time."

"Take it back."

Wooden Pillow Creek: "…"

Don't embarrass the old mother. After get off work that day, Muxinxi carried three boxes and went home, just like carrying three thumping hearts. The steps were big and fast, and the high heels stepped on the ground as if they were chasing the soul. , She was walking on the road in the community, and when she saw a figure in front of her, she was so frightened that she ran away.

Finally, he entered the house like a thief, and the wooden pillow stream was panting against the door panel.

Xiao Jin, who came out of the study and saw the sneaky wooden pillow stream: "…"

Xiao Jin tilted his head, with doubts in his eyes.

Wooden Pillow Creek stood still, smiled lightly, and said, "I'm back."

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

Wooden Pillow Creek didn't give it to her.

Xiao Jin blinked.

Wooden Pillow Creek paused, gave it to her again, and calmly adjusted her breathing.

Xiao Jin hung her bag on the shelf beside the door, the silver chain hung down long and shone in the light. She went to the kitchen to pour water, Xiao Jin glanced at the bag that was still shaking slightly, with a thoughtful look.

Wooden pillow stream calmed down the intense heartbeat while drinking water.

What about Xiao Jin?

Wooden pillow stream came out and saw Xiao Jin raised his hand, he was about to pick up the bag he just hung up, almost lost his soul on the spot.

She made a quick decision, aiming the little finger of her right foot at the leg of the chair, stepping up with one foot, and connecting her fingers to her heart. The heart-piercing pain made her jump up on tiptoe: "Ah!" Her expression was painful, and she couldn't fake it.

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