10. Chapter 10
At the night market stall in the middle of the night, the owner was sweating profusely while cooking a pot of small wontons, and the steam filled the pot.
Zhou Zhenyue crossed her arms and stood aside, and Mu Xueyi stood five steps behind her. The two remained silent.
After the small wontons were cooked, the boss put the lunch box into a plastic bag and handed it to Zhou Zhenyue, wiping a hand of sweat and eagerly said: "It's going to rain soon, and the beautiful lady should walk faster on the road."
Zhou Zhenyue took the wontons and said lightly, "Thank you."
She turned around and left, Mu Xueyi immediately followed, but still didn't follow too closely, still five steps away.
When the two of them walked halfway, there was a thunderous thunder from the sky, and huge raindrops suddenly fell. Without giving people a little time to prepare, they showed a downward trend. All of a while, the air was full of wet concrete. taste.
The rain came so quickly that the two of them had to go to the nearest bus stop to hide from the rain. Zhou Zhenyue tried to contact Xiao Ai to deliver the umbrella, but for some reason, no one answered the phone.
Mu Xueyi still didn't dare to get too close to Zhou Zhenyue, sitting very close to the side. The roof of the bus station was already narrow, the rain was brought to her lap by the wind, and she was shaking a little while holding her arms.
Zhou Zhenyue glanced at her: "...sit down."
Mu Xueyi felt warm and moved gently to Zhou Zhenyue's side, with a smirk on her lips.
Zhou Zhenyue looked at the corners of her tight lips, her eyes became cold a little: "Is it ridiculous to see me being tricked into this way by you and still caring about you without a bottom line?"
Mu Xueyi shook her head hurriedly: "I didn't mean that..."
Zhou Zhenyue turned her eyes and looked at the torrential rain outside the station. Her voice was full of estrangement: "You should have enough circles these days. Let's just say it, your real purpose for approaching me this time."
Mu Xueyi was taken aback: "What?"
Zhou Zhenyue was silent for a moment and said, "Do you want the same files as last time, or some other commercial secrets?"
Mu Xueyi was in a daze, his heart filled with thick bitterness, and his fingertips curled into his palm.
"Ayue, you always think I'm still lying to you."
Zhou Zhenyue lowered her eyes, her black eyelashes were like a reed bended by the wind, lightly dipped in the water under her eyes. The voice is also like this, in the tenacity of neither humble nor overbearing, unspoken compromises are revealed.
"If you speak frankly today, as long as it's not too much...I will give it to you."
Mu Xueyi couldn't help but smile, his eyes flushed halfway: "Then... after giving it to me? I have to leave you obediently and never disturb you, right? I don't understand, since you think I'm always there. Lie to you, why did you risk being scammed and tied me to you with a contract for five full years?"
She buckled the narrow iron stool, holding back tears, "Ayue, do you want me to stay, or do you want me to go?"
Zhou Zhenyue was silent for a long time before she answered:
"... Whether you stay or not, you are always alone in the final say. You ask me like this, as if my opinion can really influence you."
Mu Xueyi thought of Zhou Zhenyue who had been left behind over the years, and her grievances were covered with deep guilt. She clenched her fists, lowered her head, and her tone began to lowly: "I left on my own three years ago. I was sorry for you. I knew it was wrong. I really had no other purpose when I came back this time. You believe me."
She tried to put her fingers on the back of Zhou Zhenyue's hand, gently and carefully, "From now on, I will not lie to you again, and I will not make any decisions about our relationship without authorization. I promise. it is good?"
Zhou Zhenyue looked back at her and said nothing. For a moment, Mu Xueyi seemed to see the gentleness of three years ago in her eyes.
But only for a moment, after a moment, Zhou Zhenyue turned her head away and stopped looking at her.
"I know, maybe you don't like me as much as you used to," Mu Xueyi's eyes were sore and sore, "It's all my own self-care, I have nothing to say, as long as I can..."
As long as she can watch her live peacefully in this life trajectory, even if she can't be with her again in this life, she will be willing.
Seeing her suddenly silent, Zhou Zhenyue asked: "What can I do?"
Mu Xueyi smiled tearfully: "As long as I can...make up for the mistakes I made, it will be fine."
For a while, the air fell into silence, and there was only the sound of heavy rain falling in my ears.
Zhou Zhenyue did not speak for a long time, but looked at the dark distance without saying a word.
She didn't speak, and Mu Xueyi didn't dare to speak anymore, just sat quietly next to her carefully. The air was cloudy and cold, and only the arm on the side of Zhou Zhenyue could pick up a little precious temperature.
At this time, any touch on the body will be infinitely magnified, and the thinnest touch will also give people the most practical warmth. In this way, next to the people around him, across the rain-soaked sleeves, Mu Xueyi wished that the blood vessels in his arm could penetrate through, and entangled with Zhou Zhenyue, knotted, knotted into a dead knot.
It turns out that when I really love someone very much, I am so longing to be closer to her.
Zhou Zhenyue suddenly turned her head slightly, her eyes a little hesitant:
"...You have a fever again?"
Mu Xueyi subconsciously retracted the arm that was next to Zhou Zhenyue, and squatted to answer: "No, no."
She absolutely can't let Zhou Zhenyue find out that she will become so nervous that her skin feels hot just by sticking her arm.
Zhou Zhenyue was silent for a while, her fingers suddenly pinched the first button of her shirt and began to undress.
Mu Xueyi thought she wanted to breathe, but she didn't expect Zhou Zhenyue to solve the third one without stopping, all the way down. Mu Xueyi was a little frightened, and hurriedly said, "This, this is on the main road..."
Zhou Zhenyue glanced at her lightly, unbuttoned all the buttons neatly on her hands, and took off her shirt.
When he saw the black camisole inside, Mu Xueyi's tightly hung heart froze in his chest, not getting up and down, which seemed a bit ridiculous.
Zhou Zhenyue looked at her with a faint smile, "Why, I was disappointed to see another one?"
Mu Xueyi blushed and looked away, and stopped talking.
Two seconds later, the shoulders were suddenly covered with a layer of soft cloth with body temperature. After a glance, you could recognize that this was the shirt Zhou Zhenyue took off just now.
Mu Xueyi's heart skipped a beat, and she raised her hand to grasp the hem of the shirt, and secretly turned her face to look at Zhou Zhenyue next to her.
After Zhou Zhenyue gave her clothes, she resumed her sitting posture, looking at the rain outside coldly.
Zhou Zhenyue's hair was very long. Before entering the bus station, she was drenched by the rain, and her black hair was still dripping downwards. After the drop of water stopped at the end of her hair, a long wet mark ran down her slender neck and slipped into the looming gully on her chest. She supported one arm, and the collarbone on that side floated high, and a few drops of rainwater accumulated in the clavicle fossa could peek out where the drops of water disappeared from her chest.
How many undulating curves there are in her body, the tight-fitting vest outlines how charming.
Maybe this shirt shouldn't be taken off.
Mu Xueyi swallowed.
While looking confused, Mu Xueyi suddenly found a faint scar on Zhou Zhenyue's right chest, only a little bit was exposed, with traces of stitches. When she wanted to take a closer look, she moved slightly, and the black vest covered it again.
Mu Xueyi could only turn his head too far, and continue to look hard from another angle. The more blurred, the more he wanted to see clearly.
"Mu Xueyi," Zhou Zhenyue said without a smile, "Can your eyes narrow a little?"
Only then did Mu Xueyi realize how improper her behavior was, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze from the opponent's chest, coughed twice, and sat down tight.
After a while, the rain was much lighter, and Airbus taxis gradually appeared on the road.
Although she still wanted to stay with Zhou Zhenyue for a while, but Zhou Zhenyue had other entertainment, the rain had delayed her too much time. She hired two taxis, took one by herself and left first, and the other took Mu Xueyi back to the hospital.
In the corridor of the hospital, Xiao Ai was dealing with some affairs at hand on WeChat. Seeing Mu Xueyi came back, she received her mobile phone and smiled and said, "The second lady is back? Don’t worry, talk to the old man slowly. After the chat, call me and I will send it. You go back to the riverside apartment."
"Yeah." Mu Xueyi hesitated for a moment, and then said the question in his heart, "Wait, I...I want to ask you something."
Xiao Ai kept smiling and nodded: "You ask."
Mu Xueyi paused, "...Just when I went out to buy supper, I seemed to... I saw a scar on A Yue's right chest, which I don't remember when I was with her before. After I left... …Have you suffered any injuries?"
Xiao Ai's smile froze when he heard the words.
After a while, she smiled again, but did not answer, only said: "Why do you find yourself uncomfortable."
"Finding uncomfortable for myself?" Mu Xueyi was even more puzzled, "What do you mean? Why am I finding uncomfortable for myself?"
Xiao Ai bowed his head: "Sorry, I can't tell you this without the permission of Mr. Zhou."
Mu Xueyi could see that Xiao Ai really couldn't answer, and didn't force it. When she entered the ward, she was still distracted, and Zhou Fengnian didn't hear her call.
Zhou Fengnian yelled twice again: "Girl? Girl? What do you think?"
Mu Xueyi came back to her senses, and couldn't help but care about Zhou Zhenyue. Even if she knew that she might not have to ask Elder Zhou, she still bit the bullet and said the question again.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Fengnian didn't push back, but his eyes became heavy, and the smile on his face diminished a lot.
"This... I shouldn't be an old man to tell you, but... I won't tell you, she won't let anyone who knows it tell you, maybe you won't know it for the rest of your life."
"But you have the right to know about this matter."
The old man sighed long and looked at the night rain outside the window.
"Three years ago, you suddenly left without leaving any notes or information. She couldn't contact you, thinking something happened to you, she was crazy. Called the police, the police were looking for you, she was looking for you too, she didn't eat If you don’t drink, the house won’t go back, and the company won’t. Actually...you know, even if you break up, she is not a hysterical person. She rushed into that because she was really afraid of what dangers might happen to you."
"It was also a summer, the rainy season, and it had been raining on those days. At night, it was rainy and foggy, and there was a lot of water. She was in a car accident when she was driving to find you."
"The broken steering wheel bracket plunged into the lung of her right chest. In order to save her life, dozens of stitches were sewn. Just..."
"Leave a scar."
Zhou Fengnian is already using the simplest and most insensible sentences, but the paler the description, the more the listener will be tempted to squeeze more details into the past in his mind.
She found how dazed she was when she left.
How anxious she was when she looked for her.
When she was rescued from the scene of the car accident, she was stained with blood so that she could not see the original color clothes.
The cruelest thing was that she woke up after wandering from the edge of life and death, and others told her: that Mu Xueyi was not dangerous at all.
She left only because she was a liar.
