Stay Safe

Xiao Jin helped Wooden Pillow Stream, limped onto the sofa, and carefully took off his socks.

The pinky finger was red, and it was even more shocking to take advantage of the surrounding snow-white skin.

Xiao Jin blew lightly towards the top, and said while feeling distressed: "I will make you not walk well."

"I was wrong, wasn't that careless?" Wooden pillow Brook gasped.

After the sofa was left to dry for a while, Xiao Jin checked her again and poked around that finger back and forth, left and right: "Does it hurt here?"

It doesn't hurt.

Xiao Jin was relieved.

She went to the study to turn off the computer and left the bag behind her head. Muzhenxi also temporarily felt relieved. She knew that the way to prevent Xiao Jin from being suspicious was to forget that there was a ring in her bag in front of her, so she didn't even notice it. Don't look to the door.

Xiao Jin urged her to take a bath, and while taking a bath in the wooden pillow stream, she thought about where to hide the ring in the house for a while, on the top of the bookshelf? In the TV cabinet? It was still the bedside table, she calculated the risks of hiding everywhere, but she didn't expect that until she went to bed at night, she didn't vacate it at all.

Xiao Jinren was in the bedroom, but every now and then he would call her, and when he called Muxianxi, his heart skipped a beat, for fear that she would appear behind him in the next second, and the legs she stepped out would come back.

The next morning, Muxianxi went to work with the ring intact.

Wooden Pillow Creek: "…"

Xiao Jin received another invitation from Lu Xiaojun to invite her to dinner in the evening. Xiao Jin said that Muxianxi was not free, and Lu Xiaoyun said that it was natural to invite her for a meal with a family of three.

After the meal, the three walked around the riverside, and Lu Xiaojun said, "We will fly back to City B tomorrow night."

"Tomorrow night?" Xiao Jin is very strange, they have nothing to do in Lincheng, how can they take the flight at night.

"Yes." Lu Xiaoyun's eyes were bright, and he almost said, "Can you send us the plane?"

"What time is it?"

"Nine o'clock."

"Then I'll take you to the airport." Xiao Jin nodded.

"Xiaomu she..."

Xiao Jin raised her eyes, showing a slightly surprised look, because it was her father who asked the question, not Lu Xiaoyun.

"She works overtime."

"So busy? Will I have no time to accompany you?"

"Will not."

"She's playing games now, isn't she?" Father Xiao didn't say much when they met last time, but he listened to what he should have heard.

"Yes."

Father Xiao pondered: "Why don't we let her change to a more relaxed job, our family does not lack the money for her work."

Xiao Jin's face sank.

Lu Xiaoyun grabbed her husband's arm and hurriedly said to Xiao Jin, "What does your father mean—"

Xiao Jin interrupted her: "I know what he means."

Lu Xiaojun said: "Don't get me wrong, you and her, you can do whatever you want, and we will definitely not interfere."

Xiao Jin responded with a light expression: "Well."

***

Xiao Jinwo was watching the martial arts movie, "Once Upon a Time" in the living room, and the ding ding bang was very lively on the TV. Wooden pillow stream hung up the bag with the ring hidden in it again, and sat next to her, Xiao Jin spontaneously lay down and pillowed on her lap.

"Tomorrow night I'm going to drop off the plane to my parents."

"Do you want me to take time off to accompany you?"

"No, I'll go by myself. I guess you'll be back before get off work."

Xiao Jin rolled over, his face flushed down.

Wooden pillow crease caressed her ear and said softly: "Did you have a bad time chatting at night, so unhappy?"

Xiao Jin tapped her forehead on her lap and repeated his father's words.

"I think he's still the same as before, just changed the object from me to you."

"What does that have to do with that? He said it after all, it's fine if we don't listen." Muzhenxi also felt that her father was a bit too much, but now the main focus is to comfort Xiao Jin, "Your family is so rich, I can't wait to hug it. What about your thighs, you will eat at home every day and wait to die."

"I don't really want to meet them anymore." Xiao Jin said dully without being amused by her.

"Then I won't see you." Wooden pillow stream leaned against her.

Xiao Jin lay down for a while, then thought about it and said lazily, "I haven't taken a bath yet, so give me a bath."

When Mu Zhenxi heard this, his eyes lit up, Xiao Jin took a bath, wouldn't he have the opportunity to hide the ring? She had already figured out where to hide.

Wooden pillow stream put water for Xiao Jin, tested the water temperature, waited for her to lie in, got up and walked out, walking briskly. Xiao Jin suddenly stopped her: "Where are you going? Won't you accompany me?"

Wooden pillow Brook calmly made an excuse: "I'm going to turn on the computer, the company's business is not finished yet."

It wasn't that Muzhenxi brought his work to his home once, and Xiao Jin had no doubts about him: "Then you can go."

"Call directly if something happens, the study door is open, I can hear it."

"Okay." Xiao Jin took a handful of water and drenched it on his arm.

Wooden Pillow Creek gently closed the bathroom door.

She hid the ring nervously. In order to create the illusion that she was working, she actually turned on the computer, logged in to her mailbox, opened a recent email, and put it on the computer page.

Xiao Jin washed up and came to find her. In front of Xiao Jin, she closed the window, turned off the computer, and went to take a shower. Everything was handled flawlessly.

The only question is when to propose? What did you ask for? Just thinking about it makes my hair fall out.

"Ask her out for a candlelight dinner. When you're leaving, take advantage of her unpreparedness and get down on one knee, haha." Yin Xiaoli gave her an idea.

"Is this romantic?" Wooden Pillow Creek sounds quite ordinary, and it is played like this on TV.

"It's quite romantic when the atmosphere arrives." Yin Xiaoli said, "This is my personal experience. If he paid a stack of money at the time, I might be happier and would not break up."

"vulgar, vulgar is unbearable."

"Or the movie theater is reserved?"

Wooden Pillow Creek took out his mobile phone to check the recently released movies. The good reviews were either police gangsters or sci-fi, which were not suitable for the atmosphere of a marriage proposal. And I heard that the cinema has surveillance, the staff can see it, she proposed marriage under the surveillance of others, which is strange.

Being rejected again, Yin Xiaoli was silent for a few seconds and said, "Hot air balloon?"

"Will it be unsafe?" Wooden Sleeper Creek asked worriedly.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, Yin Xiaoli broke the jar and said: "I think you should just take her out for an outing, in the wilderness, where there is no one, you can come on the spot after you propose marriage. A wave, open air, more exciting."

Wooden Pillow Creek laughed and scolded: "Go away."

However, Yin Xiaoli's words suddenly inspired her. She remembered that Xiao Jin had mentioned to her last time that she wanted to go on a trip and proposed marriage during the trip. It sounded better than some Western restaurants and movie theaters.

After her initial plan, she began to plan when to take annual leave.

Since Xiao Jin had said it before, Xiao Jin didn't have any doubts when Muzhenxi asked, but just said, "I don't think it's possible recently, Qi Yin is coming."

Unison?

"When will she come?" Muzhenxi has always only heard his name, but never saw him.

"Two more weeks." Xiao Jin turned the pen in his hand and spread the notebook on his lap, "Originally came this week, the case at hand was not completed, and it was delayed for a week."

"What does she like to eat?" Qi Yin said that she came to see the two of them, but in fact, it was mainly to see Muzhenxi, and Muzhenxi calculated that she had to do the best of her friendship with the landlord, and brushed up her goodwill in front of Qi Yin.

"I like to eat Chinese food, a little more Sichuan food."

"I know there is an authentic Sichuan restaurant, and I order it in advance." Muzhenxi immediately wrote it down in the memo.

"There's no need to be so nervous." Xiao Jin smiled at her solemn expression.

"I'm not nervous." Said Wooden Pillow Creek, delete the words that his subordinates typed wrongly, and retype them.

"No one else can affect me anyway."

"It's your business that you like me, and it's my business that I win your friend's like." Wooden pillowxi said seriously.

"Okay, okay." Xiao Jin smiled, not arguing with her.

Muzhenxi wrote the memo, and set up an event reminder with double insurance, so he curiously leaned over and looked at the notebook in front of Xiao Jin: "What are you writing?"

Xiao Jin tilted the book and showed it to her.

It is a brief plan, with several locations written, all of which are relatively well-known tourist attractions in China.

Muzhenxi happily said: "Is this the place we are going to travel?" After a while, she frowned and worried, "Will there be too many people?" She didn't like going out to see people's heads.

Xiao Jin corrected her: "It's not us, it's me and Qi Yin."

Wooden Pillow Stream: "???"

Xiao Jin said: "She came to China this time to see you on a special trip. She has no official business, and she likes to play. Lin Cheng has nothing interesting, so she has to take her to other places."

Wooden Pillow Stream was quiet for a few seconds: "What about me?"

Her grievance was almost written on her face.

Xiao Jin touched her ear and said sympathetically, "You go back."

Wooden Pillow Creek is downcast.

Xiao Jinguan was really pitiful for her, so he compromised: "How about the three of us together?"

Wooden pillow creek sang quietly: "It's obviously a movie of three people, but I can't have a name."

Xiao Jin burst into laughter.

Mu Zhenxi thought about it, he couldn't be so stingy, at least he was Xiao Jin's best friend, or someone who hadn't seen each other for a long time abroad, so he moved back temporarily to show his generosity.

She agreed.

"Where are you going? Maybe I can come up with ideas."

Xiao Jin was still laughing, overjoyed.

Muzhenxi ignored her and said to herself, "Don't she like an affair, how about going to Yunnan?"

"I've been there." Xiao Jin said with a smile.

"Has she been there or have you been?" Wooden Pillow Stream suddenly opened his mouth in a mysterious way.

"We all—" Xiao Jin suddenly paused, and after two seconds, he resumed his shallow smile, "I've been there. I went back to the country twice a few years ago when there was no news of you, and she pulled her back once. I went to Lijiang."

Muzhenxi didn't catch the strangeness that came up in her heart for a moment, and paused like her before asking, "Is it fun?"

"It's okay, I just went to the bar, I don't remember the rest."

"At that time...drinking?"

"...Well." Xiao Jin added in a low voice, "But I've never been drunk in a bar."

"I know." Wooden pillow creek went around her with one hand and wrapped her waist around her, took her into his arms, resting his chin on Xiao Jin's shoulder, as if he sighed softly, but he didn't.

The two cuddled together quietly, softly and beautifully.

***

The day Qiyin came was the day with the highest temperature in the recent weather forecast.

The scorching sun was scorching the earth.

When she got out of the elevator, the oncoming heat wave made Xiao Jin almost retreat. If the plane wasn't in the sky now, she really wanted to call Qiyin not to come.

Muxinxi pulled her to the parking place and ran to the parking place. After entering, Muxinxi quickly turned on the air conditioner, and the wind was hot.

Xiao Jin: "…"

Wooden Pillow Creek: "It's hotter outside now, let's sit here for a while."

Xiao Jin just nodded, fanning the wind with his hand, his eyebrows drooping, and he didn't want to say a word.

When the wind from the air conditioner became colder, Muxinxi closed the car window and drove out for a while before Xiao Jin "lived" again.

"Qi Yin is not very talkative, don't think she has an opinion on you."

"Remember." This is the second time Xiao Jin said. Mu Zhenxi knew that Xiao Jin said that she liked her was enough, but she still hoped that she could make a good impression on her friends.

Standing at the exit of the flight arrival, Wooden Sleeper Creek unconsciously pursed his lips, revealing a little nervousness. Xiao Jin is worried, because Qi Yin has always had a bad sense of Muzhenxi, and hopes that she can reverse her impression this time.

Xiao Jin was a little absent-minded, Wooden Pillow Creek pointed in one direction and asked her in a low voice, "Is that the one?"

Xiao Jin looked up and stepped forward.

Wooden Pillow Creek knew it was, and followed.

Xiao Jin hugged the woman who was half a head taller than her, then pulled Muzhenxi to stand beside him and introduced to Qi Yin, "Muzhenxi, my girlfriend."

Qi Yin took off the toad mirror that almost covered most of her face, and said elegantly, "Qi Yin."

She speaks very standard Chinese in short words, and she can't tell that she lives abroad, and her tone is cold.

Muzhenxi was not frightened by her icy attitude, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth: "I have long admired the name."

The two shook hands.

Muzhenxi proposed that she be the host at noon and invited her to eat Sichuan cuisine.

Qi Yin thanked her with a two-point politeness on her face.

Mu Zhenxi walked in the front and led the way, Xiao Jin and Qi Yin walked in the back, her ears seemed to hear the two people behind her talking, the voices were so low that she couldn't make out what they were saying.

Taking advantage of a turn, she glanced back, but the two kept a considerable distance, as if it was just her illusion.

When they arrived near the Sichuan restaurant, Muzhenxi went to park the car, and Xiao Jin and Qi Yin finally had a chance to be alone.

Qi Yin crossed her arms: "I just put a cold face on your face, and you feel distressed?"

Xiao Jin said, "No." Even though the wooden pillow creek was more than ten meters away, she still lowered her voice uneasy, "It's different from what we said before, didn't you say that your attitude will be as gentle as possible?"

Qi Yin laughed and winked deliberately: "Okay, I will treat her as a friend who is about to open a room. I have the best attitude at this time."

"You dare!" Xiao Jin stared at her with round eyes.

Qi Yin looked surprised and circled around her, looking at her like a giant panda: "You still have such an expression!"

Xiao Jin: "..." rubbed his eyes.

I can't stop staring, my eyes hurt.

The two of them were waiting at the door, and the wooden pillow stream went back, and they saw two people talking and laughing from a distance, especially the lady Qiyin just now, who was smiling happily. The closer she got, the closer and closer Qi Yin's mouth was, and finally it turned into a smile that could hardly be seen without looking closely.

Xiao Jin put a hand behind him, poked Qiyin's back, and Qiyin raised the corner of his mouth.

Wooden Pillow Creek has determined that she doesn't like her anymore.

In fact, it's easy to understand. Yin Xiaoli doesn't like Xiao Jin at first, but she is an unprincipled dog. Obviously, Qi Yin is much higher-end than Yin Xiaoli.

Mu Zhenxi smiled at Xiao Jin and gave her a look that signaled her reassurance.

When entering the restaurant, Xiao Jin deliberately took two steps forward, wrapped her arms around her arms, raised the empty hand of Wooden Pillow Creek, and wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand, her eyes filled with unresolved affection. .

Qi Yin silently followed behind, bowed her head, and smiled slowly.

After taking a seat, Muxinxi stood up and poured tea for the three of them. Qi Yin's cold voice suddenly became warmer and said, "Thank you."

Wooden Pillow Creek was startled.

She noticed the change in Qiyin's attitude.

Mu Zhenxi looked at Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin held up the cup and sipped the tea: "Order, what do you want me to do? Give her the menu."

Qi Yin is very skilled, her eyes are excited, and she ordered Mapo tofu as the first dish. When she announced the name of the dish, her throat slid down unconsciously, and she could see that she really wanted to eat it. Seeing her in a dilemma, Mu Zhenxi recommended a few courses to her, and Qi Yin listened to her.

After ordering the dishes, Qi Yin took up the tea cup likely: "I will replace the wine with tea, and toast to you."

Muzhenxi felt that it was a bit inexplicable that she said this suddenly. Would you like her to help her order food? Mu Zhenxi thought to himself, smiled and clinked glasses with her, and the two drank together.

Xiao Jincai explained to her: "She likes Chinese 'etiquette', finds it very interesting, and sometimes shows off with friends who don't know anything about it."

Qi Yin said angrily, "Who is showing off?"

Xiao Jin said: "I." Don't play tricks with her, it's hot, so you can't play.

She kept walking in front of the airport just now, but when she got into the car, she could only look at her from the rearview mirror, without taking a close look at the other person's appearance. Now Muzhenxi and Qi Yin are sitting face to face. While waiting for the food, she looked at Qi Yin carefully. After a few seconds, the corners of the beautiful lips raised slightly and said, "Where have I seen you?"

Looks kind of nice.

Unison's reaction was strange.

She glanced at Xiao Jin quickly, as if conditioned reflex.

Mu Zhenxi followed Qi Yin's gaze, and his gaze also fell on Xiao Jin's face.

Xiao Jin's expression didn't look any different. She raised her shoulders slightly, bumped against the wooden pillow stream gently, and said with an angry smile, "What's your motive when you say this to other women in front of me?"

Muzhenxi lost his words after realizing it, and hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that, I really think her face is familiar."

Xiao Jin lifted his eyelids and said calmly, "Mixed-bloods all look the same."

Forcing the same tone of voice, he smiled generously without being angry.

Is that right? Muzhenxi scratched the back of his neck and said to Qiyin, "I'll make you laugh."

"I also think Miss Mu looks familiar." Qi Yin said suddenly.

Xiao Jin gave her a look from an angle that Muxianxi couldn't see, his eyes were cold.

Qi Yin smiled and said, "We met at the gate of the community last time."

The chill in Xiao Jin's eyes disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

She remembered this incident. It was in September last year that Qi Yin came back from the outside and bumped into the wooden pillow stream who was going to work, and told her when she came back.

Muzhenxi followed Qiyin's prompt to recall, and also remembered, shouting fate, the two drank tea instead of wine, and drank another cup.

Qi Yin doesn't know many Chinese people, and even more Chinese people of the same age who can play with her. Seeing that Muzhenxi cooperates with her so well, she immediately smiles and communicates more "etiquette" with her. Like many foreigners, Qi Yin couldn't tell the "Three Brothers" in East Asia. Some etiquettes were mixed up. Muzhenxi explained to her, "This is from China, not Japan." "You said it was Korea. "No no no, this is from Japan."

The two chatted in full swing, the dishes were not served, and a pot of tea saw the end.

Xiao Jin: "…"

It seemed she was overthinking.

After the meal, the two sent Qiyin to the star hotel. Xiao Jin's original house expired soon after she moved to Muzhenxi's house, and now the two of them have no vacant house for Qi Yin to live in.

When it was delivered to the door of the room, Xiao Jin saw that Qi Yin had something to say, and asked Mu Zhenxi to wait for her in the hall downstairs first.

She closed the door, turned and stood still.

Qi Yin looked back from the closed door, his retinas and the afterimage of the wooden pillow stream left, and said, "She is not the same as before." Qi Yin stayed in Sicheng for a period of time, and saw several wooden pillow streams. Back, of course, she had seen it unilaterally, but Wooden Sleeper Creek didn't see her.

should? Qi Yin thought so.

The question that Muzhenxi said she was familiar with just now really startled her.

In the past, the wooden pillow stream was a little indifferent, didn't laugh very much, and looked at people with indifferent eyes, and couldn't see emotions. At that time, Qi Yin still thought, this is the person Xiao Jin likes? How could it be different from what she said.

Xiao Jin usually doesn't tell her about Muzhenxi, and only after drinking too much alcohol will he reveal a few words. In Xiao Jin's mouth, Muzhenxi is a little girl with a blushing face and a shy smile.

Qi Yin thought it was a soft and cute little girl, but she saw a big Yujie who was as tall as her. She didn't say anything. She glanced at the big Yujie who could freeze a piece of ice. The big Yujie was a little poor. Wearing white washed jeans and sneakers, working in a garment factory.

In fact, at that time, Muzhenxi could almost make a living by painting, but she had no sense of security and liked to prepare with both hands, so she found a relatively regular clothing factory. Commute.

She is such a cold-hearted person, but there is one exception around her, and that is Xiao Jin who later found out that she was the second-generation rich lady who had misunderstood.

The man and Wooden Pillow Stream went in and out at the same time, almost inseparable. Wooden Pillow Stream would smile at her, although not as reckless as today, but once there is a contrast, it will be extraordinarily clear.

She is gay, and there is a close girl by her side. She has a different attitude towards her, and it is logical to deduce that they are a couple.

Qi Yin felt that it was no wonder Xiao Jin misunderstood, but if it were her, the result might be completely different.

Even if she has never been in a relationship, according to her personality, when she sees her ex-girlfriend who she thinks has not broken up with someone else, she will go up and slap each other directly. If it is a misunderstanding, she will call her back, it is true Exactly, another slap, symmetrical left and right.

In Qi Yin's eyes, Xiao Jin is a very strange person. She has never seen such a person before. While she thinks it is not worth it, she also admires her for loving someone firmly for so many years and never changing.

In the beginning, she approached with the purpose of making Xiao Jin, but after being exposed by the other party, she became a friend. There are so many flowers in the world. There are many people chasing Xiao Jin in the school, handsome men and beauties, but they all hit the wall. Some of them asked Xiao Jin's friends, how to impress her, and the friends asked Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin said that she had liked people.

After the news spread, the people who pursued her... have not decreased, because Xiao Jin's life is very regular, and she has never been seen close to anyone, that is, single.

Qi Yin claimed to have had two friendships with her. Once drinking in the apartment, Xiao Jin was half-drunk but not drunk, and revealed a little bit of tone to her. Qi Yin is a good drinking friend. Xiao Jin likes to drink with her. She later heard Xiao Jin say that there is such a reason for their friendship.

It was because Qi Yin was the only one who accompanied Xiao Jin back to China five years ago.

One day Xiao Jin called and told Qi Yin that she was going back to China, and it might take a long time. Let her know.

Qi Yin heard the suppressed excitement in her tone, and asked more: "What happened to you so happy?"

Xiao Jin breathed heavily over there, his throat tightened and swallowed, his voice was low, as if a little louder would scare the person away from the other side of the ocean: "I... I know where she is."

she?

Qi Yin was stunned for a moment, then inexplicably felt a surge of emotions.

The person who can make Xiao Jin so abnormal, only when she is drunk.

"I'll go to China with you." Qi Yin couldn't wait to see who the other party was.

"Ah?" Xiao Jin was not very willing to take her there.

"I'm going on a trip, you look for your people, I play mine, and we can take care of each other if we have something."

From the day she decided to return to China, to the day she took the train into Sicheng, Xiao Jin's changes became more and more obvious day by day. She stopped drinking and smoking. She sat upright and in high spirits. She had to smell it several times a day to see if she had any alcohol. Smell and smoke, other strange smells, Qi Yin smiled and answered "no" over and over again.

The affection that was constantly flowing between her eyebrows made Qi Yin, a person who had died a long time ago, almost revive, and hurriedly strangled to death in the ashes, she knew that Xiao Jin was not for her.

She found out the specific address, chose clothes for the day, dressed up, and waited for her downstairs at the Muzhenxi house.

When he was about to go out, Xiao Jin was very nervous, dawdling, and the tissues that wiped his sweat got wet one after another.

Qi Yin made a fist at her: "Come on."

Xiao Jin just pursed his lips and went out.

Qi Yin went to the most famous les bar in the area to hunt for beauty, and met a Chinese girl who talked a lot. She felt right. As she was about to develop to the next step, her phone rang sharply and ominously.

Xiao Jin.

Qi Yin's brows were furrowed. According to normal circumstances, she should not have called herself.

She pressed the connection: "what's the matter?"

Xiao Jin paused for a long time: "...It's okay, I'm going home, I just got downstairs."

Qi Yin looked at the Chinese girl in her arms, said sorry, and left in a hurry.

The room was filled with blue-gray smoke, and Qi Yin almost choked when she opened the door and went in. She quickly turned on the exhaust fan, took two steps inside, and saw Xiao Jin leaning against the wall smoking, with a hazy face.

The ashtray was full of burnt cigarette butts.

Qi Yin: "You..."

Xiao Jin lifted his eyelids and looked at her calmly.

That glance, which I don't know how to describe, suddenly stopped Qi Yin's footsteps.

She kept her distance and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Then she saw Xiao Jin's fingers trembling slightly with the cigarette in between.

Qi Yin held her breath and didn't dare to say a word. She felt that the person standing in front of her was not a person, but a fragile, crumbling china that could be shattered at any time.
