"Huh? You seem to be very happy since you came back yesterday." Mu Zibei, who was reading a book face to face with her sister, said coldly.
Bai Ziren put down the book: "Is there any?"
"Yes." Mu Zibei nodded, and sincerely asked for gossip, "Can you tell me who you are dining with?"
She returned home last night, and her mother and Uncle Mu didn't say much, they just waited and watched, but Mu Zibei, who was straightforward, asked several times in the morning.
"He's not my boyfriend, but a friend." Of course, Bai Ziren would not say that it was actually Cheng Jingbo.
"I understand, everything starts with friends."
Bai Ziren knew that he was eccentric, so he smiled faintly and said no more.
Mu Zibei closed the book, sat next to her, cupped his face in his hands, and sighed: "In this family, I can only talk about relationship issues with you. Mom and Dad are too scary, and Mu Zidong is too childish."
"..."
"I don't know if I will meet someone I like in the future."
"Yes, you are still so young, you will meet many people in the future."
Mu Zibei frowned and stretched, stretched and wrinkled, and after repeating it several times, he made up his mind: "Yeah."
Bai Ziren felt a little relieved.
"It's your turn." Mu Zibei turned his face, "What kind of person is he?"
Bai Ziren was at a loss for words, so he lowered his eyelids and continued reading.
Mu Zibei, on the other hand, would enjoy himself, immersing himself in the imagination of his future brother-in-law, muttering to himself: "The future brother-in-law must be very cool, able to play games with me, and have a good temper, so that I can bully him, but not Smoking, I hate the smell of cigarettes on my father, and I can't nag, I hate my mother talking non-stop around me, I have to be handsome, so the baby will be beautiful... "
Bai Ziren's temples twitched several times.
"The point is to treat my sister ten thousand times."
Bai Ziren raised his eyes to look at Mu Zibei who was looking happy, and suddenly he was a little moved, and reached out to stroke his hair.
"Beibei." Liu Xinyu pushed the door open and came in, urging softly, "It's almost time, get ready and let Dad take you to the training center."
As soon as the training was over, he would be rewarded with gorgeous animation accessories. Mu Zibei stood up and ran back to his room to pack his schoolbag.
Liu Xinyu withdrew her doting gaze, turned to look at her daughter, and said after hesitation: "If you have to go home late next time, remember to call me in advance."
"Okay, I remember."
"Then I won't bother you." Liu Xinyu gently closed the door.
Bai Ziren stayed alone in his own world, gradually recalling the details of last night with him in the black hideout, when she followed him step by step, all her attention was focused on the hand held by him, Even the horrific plaster wax figures around her couldn't shake her emotions. Compared with those, she was more afraid of accidentally revealing her inner voice.
She didn't dare to say that she liked him easily, and she didn't dare to express her feelings to him. She was not sure that she would say yes.
From childhood to adulthood, happiness or sadness, happiness or disappointment, all those little emotions were quietly put in a small transparent box by her, and she never revealed them to others.
Also, she didn't dare to imagine things that were very far away. The current situation was very good for her, at least he could be by her side.
I like the books he recommends, I like to stay by his side and listen to him, I like to walk with him on the winter streets, I like to give him chocolates, I like to hold his hand in the dark, I like to walk towards the bright exit, I like him too The name, I feel gentle when I read it once.
This is enough, she can't think of anything else.
A long time later, when she read the Japanese novel that was once popular among thousands of teenagers, there was a paragraph about liking in it, saying that liking someone is like walking alone in the spring field, and a cute little bear with round eyes appeared on the opposite side Yes, I invite you to roll and play, and you say yes.
Although everyone's likes are different, but one thing is similar, she is willing to go over and see his world.
A few days later, Dr. Chen Zhe came back from a business trip and saw Bai Ziren again, and found that she had changed slightly. After chatting with her for more than half an hour, he tried to ask her some topics that she didn't want to touch.
"Did your parents beat you when you were a child?"
"No."
"What about losing your temper with you?"
"A few times."
"what is the reason?"
Bai Ziren was silent, and the past events in his mind began to replay. One winter, his father fell ill. He refused to take medicine, and hid in the room in a daze like a child. She broke in unintentionally and saw a shocking scene. , he held a very thin blade, heated it under a cluster of flames, quickly slashed his arm, accompanied by a muffled groan, his expression was briefly relieved, a strange smile appeared on his handsome face, she was a little bit He asked in fear, Dad, what are you doing, but in exchange for his emotional breakdown, he said in pain why he stared at him lingeringly, he was about to suffocate, and if he saw her again, he would die, begging her to let him go .
Seeing that she didn't respond, Chen Zhe didn't seem to understand what he said, so he asked again.
"I don't know why he's angry, I don't know him really well, he's rarely home for a while."
"Then do you know the real reason for your parents' divorce?"
"They separated because of personality differences." Bai Ziren said after a pause, "Dr. Chen, I remember you asked about this last time."
"Just to confirm." Chen discounted his forehead, "Then let's talk about it now, it's strange that you don't even tell your mother what's in your heart, don't you want to get close to her?"
"I'm an adult, and I can't always be by her side like I was when I was a child."
"Just like that? Suppose you went to hug her, how would she react?"
"I haven't tried it."
"You can think about it."
"She might be a little nervous."
"Nervous? Is she afraid of you?"
"I don't know, but she hides from me sometimes."
Chen Zhe was thoughtful, looked down at the still hourglass, and smiled: "It's time."
Bai Ziren said thank you, and when he got up, he heard Chen Zhe say again: "Finally, I wish you a happy date today."
She was a little speechless, and quickly clarified: "I'm not on a date."
Chen Zhe picked up the phone and shook it confidently at her: "Ms. Cheng sent me a text message just now, asking when I would release me. He can't wait to see you."
"..."
"I lied to you, he didn't send it to me." Chen Zhe put down his phone, "I guessed it randomly, because you are wearing a skirt today, which is very eye-catching."
Bai Ziren walked out of the psychological clinic and walked through the corridor between the buildings to find Cheng Jingbo in the inpatient department. Today is the day when his friend Wu Wei was transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward. He called her yesterday and asked her to Go find him when it's over.
When I arrived at the entrance of the intensive care unit, it happened to be close to the visiting time. There was a queue at the entrance, and the family members waited anxiously.
Bai Ziren found Cheng Jingbo at a glance. He was listening to Xue Ling, and smiled when he met her eyes. He quickly walked over and asked her how the communication with Chen Zhe was. She replied that it was the same as before.
When she was talking, he looked at her face quietly without looking down, as if he didn't notice the fact that she was wearing a skirt.
A minute later, the door opened, and Wu Wei's hospital bed was pushed out. The nurse called for Wu Wei's family members.
Bai Ziren followed Cheng Jingbo, and when he was about to reach the door, two people in the front half of the line had an argument over their positions. One young man pushed the other uncle hard, and the uncle who almost fell to the ground was furious , immediately scolded him, and punched him back, and the two started fighting on the spot.
There was chaos in front of Bai Ziren's eyes, and there were so many people that he couldn't avoid it. Seeing that the conflict was getting closer, the blushing young man bent over and backed up again and again, almost sticking to her body. Cheng Jingbo turned around when he heard the movement, and pushed her away. That young man, pull her to himself.
The tip of her nose was pressed against his collar, and when she raised her eyes, she collided with his downward gaze. She actually saw the meaning of inquiry in his eyes, but she didn't understand why.
"The zipper of your skirt is open." He suddenly reminded.
"..."
She reached out to the side of the skirt, and when she touched it, it was indeed loose, but the zipper seemed to be stuck, and she couldn't pull it up no matter what.
"need my help?"
She said nothing, but her fingers trembled.
He lowered his hand, stuck to her skirt, and found the zipper with his fingers. In the backlit corner, like no one's land, he helped her pull up the zipper of the skirt little by little, and the voice was above her head: "Don't worry , it's a little tight."
She secretly took a deep breath, the distance between them was too close, a thin layer of sweat quickly appeared on her palm.
Fortunately, he soon heard him say: "Okay."
She breathed a sigh of relief.
He retreated some distance and reminded her: "I'll go in first, you wait for me at the door, remember to find a place with few people."
Wu Wei was transferred to the general ward. After he was settled, he lay on the hospital bed and smiled weakly at the people who came to visit him. When he saw Bai Ziren, he raised his arm slightly, nodded at her, and then pointed to Cheng Jingbo. , seemed to want to ask something but didn't have the strength to speak.
"She is Jing Bo's good friend." Xue Ling took her husband's hand and said softly, "Do you want to ask this?"
Wu Wei nodded slowly, and said with great effort: "Do you know that she is beautiful?"
Bai Ziren was a little embarrassed immediately, but Cheng Jingbo was as usual, and had no intention of answering the conversation. He raised his eyes, focused on checking the speed of the infusion, and adjusted it a little faster. There was almost no sound in the room. What he said was just polite words, and Cheng Jingbo didn't take it to heart, when he heard a familiar voice slowly: "You knew her the first time you saw her, she has been by my side for so long, how could I have no idea."
After Cheng Jingbo finished speaking, he picked up a bottle of medicine on the bed cabinet and read the attached instructions.
Xue Ling massaged her husband's palm carefully, and her voice became a little smile: "You say that, be careful that someone will be jealous."
Wu Wei tilted his head and made an innocent expression.
"I'm talking about myself." Xue Ling added a superfluous sentence.
A peaceful and gentle atmosphere flowed silently in the compartment of the ward, until a voice broke the atmosphere.
Lu Ning, who was holding a fruit basket, walked in: "I finally found you, sister, why don't you answer the phone?"
It was only then that Xue Ling remembered that the phone was in her bag, and quickly said she was sorry.
Lu Ning put down the fruit basket, scanned the room, and then stopped her eyes on the other people. She said to Bai Ziren, "It just so happens that you are here too. I finished the interview last time. I checked it and handed it in."
"What interview article?" Cheng Jingbo asked.
"Didn't she tell you? It was an interview in our weekly magazine with the theme of young people, and it was her mentor who made the connection."
Cheng Jingbo asked politely: "Is it convenient for me to read it in advance?"
Lu Ning generously agreed: "No inconvenience, anyway, everyone will read it when the time comes. Give me your email, and I will send it to you when I get back."
"thanks."
After Cheng Jingbo took Bai Ziren away, Xue Ling took the opportunity to apologize to Lu Ning: "Ning Ning, I'm really sorry, I arranged for you to meet Cheng Jingbo without knowing the situation, which made you embarrassed, you That's right, Miss Bai is his date."
Lu Ning was still a little sad in her heart, pretending not to care on the surface: "It's okay, I admit that I have a good impression of Cheng Jingbo, but it's not to the point where he has to be, now he has someone he likes, I'm just a little disappointed , but it will pass soon. Having said that, I admire him a lot. That girl has a character flaw, and he is generous if he can accept it."
"What character flaw?"
"Sister, you haven't seen it yet, have you? She is autistic."
"Ning Ning, you can't talk casually, Miss Bai is just a bit introverted."
"It's not that simple. I interviewed her and knew that her parents divorced very early. She had no one to love her since she was a child. I asked her if she had a fixed circle of friends. She said no. I asked her how she usually relieves stress. She said It’s good to stay alone and not talk, the more I listen, the more something is wrong, and her eyes are very strange, not normal, you know that my minor in college is psychology, I know very well if a person has something wrong with his heart.”
"Ning Ning, you won't write all these in, will you?" Xue Ling felt that something was wrong.
"Of course it's not very detailed, but the general situation has been mentioned."
Xue Ling had an indescribable feeling that if Cheng Jingbo saw this exclusive interview, he would not be very happy.
