Chapter 26
In the evening, after eating, Zhou Zhenyue, who had temporarily lost her work power, had nothing to do.
Mu Xueyi was building blocks on the balcony, and she sat behind Mu Xueyi to help find the blocks from the box.
The two just fought and didn’t speak much.
After fighting for a while, Zhou Zhenyue suddenly said, “I’ve been busy with work before, but I didn’t realize that your life is so monotonous.”
Mu Xueyi smiled casually: “Why do you say that?”
Zhou Zhenyue: “Eat, eat, sleep, and play with such boring things every day.”
Mu Xueyi stuck a rectangular block into the groove and sighed: “I want to go to work too, after all, I am also a graduate of Anyang University of Finance and Economics, and several of my classmates are now senior executives. call me undercover…”
Having said that, she suddenly realized her gaffe, glanced at Zhou Zhenyue’s expression quickly, murmured for a while, and deliberately said a joke to cover up:
“…No, maybe I’m better than you.”
Zhou Zhenyue didn’t have a special response, and handed another building block over, “If you want to work, I can find you a job.”
Mu Xueyi smiled: “Really?”
“Yeah.” Zhou Zhenyue looked down at the building block box, “Just in time, the company had a cleaning job quit two days ago.”
Mu Xueyi froze.
She asked uncertainly, “You’re… kidding me, aren’t you?”
Zhou Zhenyue raised her eyes and met Mu Xueyi’s somewhat flustered gaze.
“Do you really want to be a cleaner?” She smiled lightly, still with a bit of sarcasm, “Also, you still owe me a few million, cleaning is 3,000 a month, 180,000 in five years. Your salary is 180,000. All are handed in, and I can shorten the contract time for you by a few days proportionally.”
Mu Xueyi opened his mouth, but simply kept his mouth shut.
She sighed silently in her heart.
When I was together with Ah Yue before, I never realized that she was such a vicious person.
Zhou Zhenyue saw Mu Xueyi buried her head and pressed the building blocks dully, and said slowly, “Do you think I’m a bad person who always bullies you?”
Mu Xueyi pursed her lips, raised her eyes, and her eyes were still soft: “No, I know your anger has not disappeared. If it were me, I would not be able to get rid of it so quickly.”
Zhou Zhenyue: “I said so, I’m afraid I don’t think so in my heart.”
Mu Xueyi smiled softly: “Really not. To be honest, when I came back this time, I really wanted to get back with you at first, but now I think… As long as you can let go of those knots, even if we can’t be together again It doesn’t matter. Ayue, I don’t care if you embarrass me or not, I just hope that you don’t embarrass yourself anymore.”
Zhou Zhenyue squeezed the building blocks in her hand.
After a long while, she lowered her eyes and asked, “Is it irrelevant to you about ‘we can’t be together again’?”
Mu Xueyi hurriedly said: “I didn’t mean that, of course I want to be with you.”
She paused and sighed again: “I mean, whether we are together or not in the future, I hope … you can live a good life.”
“…” Zhou Zhenyue smiled and threw the building blocks into the box, “Do you know what counts as a good life for me?”
Mu Xueyi shook his head: “I don’t know.”
Zhou Zhenyue stood up on the ground and walked to the bathroom.
The figure walked away righteously, and then vaguely replied:
“…Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know.”
In the evening, the two of them washed up and lay on opposite sides of the bed.
The atmosphere has been silent since building blocks.
In the darkness, Mu Xueyi quietly turned around and looked over there.
Zhou Zhenyue seemed to have fallen asleep.
Although they were lying on the same bed, Mu Xueyi did not feel that the distance between them was much closer than the day before.
When she came to the old house before, she liked this big bed very much, because she could roll on it several times. But now she was a little dissatisfied with the size of the bed.
too big.
Between her and Ah Yue… it seems to be far, far apart.
Mu Xueyi called out very lightly: “Ayue?”
Zhou Zhenyue didn’t respond, as if she was fast asleep.
So Mu Xueyi carefully rubbed over there and rubbed again. She tentatively reached into Zhou Zhenyue’s quilt, but did not dare to hold her whole hand, only hooked Zhou Zhenyue’s little finger with her index finger.
After a while, she opened her hand, and the whole palm was wrapped around the little finger.
Body-to-body contact can really give people a solid sense of security.
She still doesn’t know how to face the future, but at least now, she can hold her in her hands.
Mu Xueyi closed his eyes. For the first time in so many days, she has fallen asleep in such a down-to-earth way.
Time passed slowly.
Mu Xueyi’s breathing gradually became slow and even.
Zhou Zhenyue opened her eyes, turned her head gently, and looked at the person beside the pillow in the dark.
I don’t know why, but Mu Xueyi always frowned a little when she fell asleep. The thin jaw finally piled up a little soft meat because she lay flat, and she only pinched her little finger, making her look like a kindergartener who didn’t ask for candy before going to bed.
Zhou Zhenyue smiled very lightly and closed her eyes.
She still indulged as always, letting the hand that crossed the thirty-eighth line wrap around her little finger like an octopus.
Zhou Fengnian’s old friend opened a new amusement park and gave a few free VIP tickets. The old man would definitely not miss this opportunity to match his granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law. After breakfast, he found an opportunity and just put the ticket to Mu Xueyi.
Although Zhou Zhenyue didn’t like that kind of noisy place, but for the pleasure of the old man, she went with Mu Xueyi.
Because it was a weekend, not Xiao Ai’s workday, Mu Xueyi temporarily acted as Zhou Zhenyue’s driver.
Zhou Zhenyue usually only sits in the back row, but today she took the passenger seat for the first time ever.
She, who never paid attention to the road in the past, has been watching the road today, and will say a word or two from time to time:
“red light.”
“Turn around.”
“Change lanes, turn around.”
“watch cars.”
Mu Xueyi was originally very good at driving, but Zhou Zhenyue made her nervous, and the turn signal was wrong twice.
Finally arriving at the amusement park, Zhou Zhenyue said lightly when she got off the bus, “I’ll give you a driver later.”
Mu Xueyi didn’t know how to explain: “My level is really not that bad…”
Zhou Zhenyue interrupted her: “How many lives do you have, so ignoring traffic safety?”
Mu Xueyi thought that Zhou Zhenyue paid so much attention to traffic safety because of the car accident, so she didn’t dare to refuse.
There is a place for renting bicycles at the entrance of the amusement park. Zhou Zhenyue saw it and said to Mu Xueyi, “This place is too big, can you rent two bicycles?”
Mu Xueyi was a little embarrassed: “This… I can’t ride a bicycle.”
Zhou Zhenyue glanced at her, “That’s true, four reels can’t handle well, let alone two reels.”
Mu Xueyi wasn’t angry either, but just smiled, “I’m not like you, I learned bicycles when I was a child. When I was six years old, when my father taught my sister, I watched it, but I can’t see things like bicycles. Yes. Later, when I grow up, I can’t remember to learn anymore.”
Zhou Zhenyue looked at her and frowned slightly.
Mu Xueyi buried her head and looked at the ground while walking, her toes slowly rising and falling in the morning sun.
Other children have childhoods when their parents held the back seat of the bicycle, but she seems to be able to walk step by step on her own.
Zhou Zhenyue stopped her: “Wait.”
Mu Xueyi stopped and turned around, “What’s wrong?”
Zhou Zhenyue said, “Come here.”
She took her to the bike rental office and rented a bike.
Zhou Zhenyue held the handlebar and handed it to Mu Xueyi:
“I teach you.”
Mu Xueyi was stunned.
When I regained my senses, my heart filled with warmth.
She moved a little hesitantly, stretched out her slightly trembling hand, and grabbed the handlebars.
Zhou Zhenyue said, “Step up and I’ll help you in the back seat.”
Mu Xueyi obediently stepped on the seat and grabbed the handlebars. Looking at the simple adult bicycle under her, she smiled and stroked the front frame of the bicycle:
“I still remember the appearance of my sister’s car. It was pink. It had two rear-view mirrors. Dad took a red ribbon and tied a big bow to the rear-view mirror. Every time my sister rides, she will wear one that is the same as the car. Pink helmet.”
Zhou Zhenyue raised her eyebrows: “You mean you need a helmet to ride?”
Mu Xueyi muttered softly: “No…”
Zhou Zhenyue: “Let’s ride then.”
Mu Xueyi: “Then… you must support it from the back.”
Zhou Zhenyue: “I will help you.”
Mu Xueyi kicked the ground tremblingly and rode swayingly. She could feel Zhou Zhenyue helping her keep the balance of the car behind her, but she couldn’t help but ask, “Ayue, are you helping? ?”
Zhou Zhenyue’s voice was close at hand: “I am here.”
She rode a little faster, but still wobbled a lot, and immediately asked, “Are you here, Ayue?”
The same answer came from behind: “I’m here.”
So she rode faster, and gradually found a sense of balance. She couldn’t tell if anyone was helping her. Even though she was riding pretty well, she panicked for no reason and asked: “Ayue, are you there? ?”
Zhou Zhenyue said, “I’m here.”
Mu Xueyi thought of watching her father teach her sister to ride a bicycle when she was a child.
At first, my father did hold the back seat, but when my sister got up, my father would quietly let go. When my sister asked, my father would lie to her and say that he was helping.
Thinking of this, the hairs all over her body stood on end, she hurriedly stopped, and turned back in a hurry.
Zhou Zhenyue is still behind.
She didn’t sneak away like Dad did. She was still hunched over, both hands gripping her back seat tightly.
Seeing that she suddenly stopped, Zhou Zhenyue asked, “Why did it stop?”
Mu Xueyi’s forehead oozes out a layer of sweat, “I-I’m afraid you won’t help…”
Zhou Zhenyue straightened up: “If I said I was helping, I would definitely be helping.”
Mu Xueyi’s heart was still beating with a high degree of tension, and he couldn’t take care of the fear and anxiety that he had nowhere to put.
She clearly knew that Zhou Zhenyue could be trusted, but she still couldn’t safely give herself to Zhou Zhenyue.
It has nothing to do with love or not.
This is the self-defense instinct engraved in the bones.
Zhou Zhenyue looked at Mu Xueyi’s dazed eyes, and gently took the handle from Mu Xueyi’s hand, “Forget it, stop learning.”
Mu Xueyi stared blankly at Zhou Zhenyue.
After a long while, she asked, “Then… I still can’t, what should I do?”
Zhou Zhenyue straddled the bicycle, pedaled skillfully, and turned the pedal around to a position suitable for starting.
“Come up,” she said, “I’ll take you.”
