There are some flirtatious young girls in Zhizhong, but they are a little less interested, and they find an excuse and go out.
Not the first time this has happened.
Xu Jun stood in the long corridor outside the private room with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at the night snow, his mood was calm.
Maybe it was Uncle Twenty-Four Filial Piety for too long, or maybe Xu Xu's solemn advice to "find a serious woman to marry" played a role... Xu Jun's handsome face slowly showed a smile, and he really wasn't interested in playing around. .
just get married...
The outline of the future wife, there is no concept.
Love has been gone for too many years, and he no longer remembers what love should taste and feel like.
The snow had stopped at this time, and the moon emerged from behind the thin clouds, shining brightly over the white snow. Xu Jun stood for a while, and just as he was about to enter the room, he heard voices coming from behind the corner. In the clutter of male voices, he heard a woman's voice:
"I'll pay him back the money he owes. He's ignorant. Please forgive me."
The voice was clear and pleasant, but it was extremely gentle, like a stream of sweet water, slowly soaking through the heart.
Xu Jun couldn't help but walk over - such a good voice, generally looks uncomplimentable. But he still wanted to see what kind of person had such a beautiful voice.
This was the first time Xu Jun saw Mu Tong.
Winter nights and snow, the city has a well-known ecstasy nest. He is the gold owner of suits and leather shoes, and he is no different from all the people around him who are intoxicated and prostitutes. And she was holding the hand of a young boy, standing surrounded by several nightclub security guards. She was wearing an ordinary black down jacket, with a pure snow-like face, huge eyes and extremely black pupils, and looked at everyone quietly.
out of place.
She is like a pure and gentle girl next door, incompatible with all this extravagant impetuousness.
The boy with her was also very handsome, but looked angry and stubborn. In comparison, she seemed much calmer. The security guards looked different, some disdainful, some hesitant, and some showing sympathy. But when the man's eyes touched her face, there was a bit of a delay. It's not that she is beautiful, but she is so clean, so clean that it makes one's heart dizzy.
Of course Xu Jun was not stunned, and his eyes returned to her.
In his experience, a girl who looks so pure is either pure or a goblin.
But in this world, there are more fairies than angels.
At this moment, the woman raised her head and glanced at him.
Xu Jun didn't care, leaning his long body against a corridor, and looking at her with a half-smile. In fact, he was standing in a dark place, more than ten meters away. The woman should not be able to see his face, but Xu Jun was a little surprised by her gaze.
Really... indifferent. His eyes that were as black as ink swept over calmly, and then moved away calmly. Like the snow at his feet, there was a clear breath.
It didn't take long for Xu Jun to understand the ins and outs.
It turned out that she and the boy were siblings, and the younger brother was in college and went to work in a nightclub for four months, and now he wants to leave. The nightclub asked him to pay a liquidated damages in accordance with the contract.
In fact, according to the new labor law, liquidated damages have long been unreasonable. But in a place like this, who do you talk to about labor law? Moreover, looking at the boy's handsome face and tall figure, Xu Jun could also guess something - Xu Jun encountered something nasty, the boy wanted to leave, but the nightclub didn't want to let it go. Liquidated damages and the like are mostly just an excuse.
The head of security said unceremoniously: "You said you repaid the liquidated damages in installments, what proof do you have?"
The girl replied: "I open a bookstore and have a stable income. In the future, I will repay it every month and it will be repaid within a year. I have written the IOU. He doesn't want to stay here to work now, and he can't be forced, right? money we are willing to pay…”
Xu Jun glanced at the girl again, she looked calm and quiet, neither humble nor arrogant.
At this time, the head of security seemed to hesitate, and said to her, "Wait." After taking a few steps back, he saw Xu Jun standing in the corridor.
"President Xu?" The look and voice of the security guard immediately became respectful and attentive, "Are you busy?"
Xu Jun shook his head: "It's okay, come out and get some air."
The head of security exchanged a few more words, then took out the walkie-talkie and walked to the side. Just as he was about to report to his superiors, Xu Jun, who was on the side, seemed to smile casually and said, "I'll have a word with your manager."
Xu Jun is not someone who likes to meddle in his own business, but after all, he is a family member of the police and is often told by Xu Xuer: "Entrepreneurs should have a greater sense of social responsibility than ordinary people." Therefore, on the premise of not harming his own interests, he is Help people often.
At this time, Xu's enterprise was very important in Lin City. His words were of course very important to the manager of the little nightclub. Just a few words can help a pair of siblings who seem to be going through hardships, why not do it? What's more, the girl is still a rare pure beauty, so pleasing to the eye.
The security captain got clear instructions and a good pack of cigarettes from him, and went to announce the result. Xu Jun stood still. Xu Ze wanted to take credit for him, but the head of the security guard's voice was particularly loud: "The manager just said that it's not easy for you and your brothers and sisters. We originally wanted to keep talents. Since we don't want to, everyone can get together and leave. There is no need for liquidated damages. , just pay the company a month's salary."
As soon as the words came out, the security guards were stunned. The boy didn't react a bit, too: "Just one month's salary?" The girl was very quiet and nodded: "Thank you, thank you very much." He instructed the boy: "You can use my card to withdraw money now."
Several security guards went with the boy to get the money. Seeing that the matter was settled, Xu Jun turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly heard the girl shouting, "You... Please wait a moment."
Xu Jun paused, turned to look at her several meters away.
The girl still looked at him quietly and gently with those big black eyes, her snow-white face was dyed with a faint smile: "Thank you."
Xu Jun was startled and smiled.
When he was talking to the nightclub manager just now, he was far away from them. It stands to reason that she couldn't hear it, and the captain of the security didn't break this point just under his instruction.
But she guessed that this ability to observe words is really transparent.
Xu Jun didn't speak, he just waved his hand and walked away with his long legs.
This encounter did not have any effect on Xu Jun. Soon he left the siblings behind.
Life was the same, work was the same, he was busy and lonely.
Occasionally, when Xue Ye sat alone, I would also think of the girl's clear eyes, like stars falling into a dark river, which is still and moving.
There are thousands of stunning colors in the world, he can appreciate it from a distance, but he doesn't know how to be emotional again.
It's been a month since I met her again.
In the late winter afternoon, Xu Xu invited him to a coffee shop for afternoon tea. This is said to be the best and most authentic coffee shop in the city. It is located on the edge of the embassy area. If you pull any waiter here, you can speak fluent English and answer foreign guests like a fluent.
Ji Bai went to the provincial office for a meeting, and the child went to a small class in kindergarten. The brothers and sisters were going to pick up the little baby after drinking coffee. After sitting for a while, Xu Jun saw a familiar boy standing behind the bar.
It was Mu Chen, Xu Jun remembered his name, Mu Tong's younger brother. He also saw Xu Jun, with a bright smile on his young face, he picked up two delicate little cakes and walked towards them.
"Mr. Xu, I didn't expect to meet you again." Mu Chen smiled shyly, "My name is Mu Chen, do you remember? My sister told me about that day later. Thank you."
Xu Jun is a well-known person in the city, and he frequently appears on the covers of financial magazines. It is not surprising that the boy recognizes him. He just smiled: "It's not bad here, work hard."
Mu Chen nodded and put down the cake: "I invite you to eat."
Xu Jun did not refuse, but smiled and said thank you. Xu Xu raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them, without asking what was going on, he just politely said thank you.
Mu Chen didn't dare to disturb him. He turned around and was about to leave when he heard a clear wind chime at the door. He looked up and stuck his tongue out: "My sister has come to inspect the environment of my new job." Then he quickly greeted him. up.
Xu Jun and Xu Xu looked over at the same time.
Mu Tong was wearing a dark red coat and a white scarf today. She was wearing a pair of sunglasses on her face. Her pale face was a little red from the cold. Mu Chen walked over, holding her hand and walking in, the sister and brother both had smiles on their faces, bowing their heads and whispering. After a while, Mu Tong took off his sunglasses and turned his head to look here.
When Xu Jun met her cold and dark eyes that seemed to be simmering with snow, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. A little comfortable, but a little uncomfortable—perhaps he was used to being adored by the stars all these years, but this woman looked at him with too calm eyes.
He leaned back in the chair, stretched out his body, and watched Mu Tong and his brother approaching. Although his expression was flat, his slender eyes narrowed slightly, giving off a somewhat uninhibited taste.
On the side Xu Xu put down the coffee spoon and stared at him with his chin in his hands: "What? Are you interested in his sister?"
"What nonsense? Not interested."
Xu Xu said slowly, "Aren't you interested in such an aggressive posture?"
Xu Jun squinted her and said nothing.
As soon as Mu Tong walked to the table, Mu Chen was called away by the other waiters. She didn't seem to care, and smiled and nodded to Xu Jun.
"Mr. Xu, I just want to thank you again." Her pale blush never faded, "No more disturbing."
Xu Jun raised his eyes to look at her and smiled: "You don't have to worry about it. It's good for your brother to work here. Don't let him go to messy places in the future."
Mu Tong lowered her eyes and replied, "Well, I understand." The smile in her eyes was even deeper, because her eyes were so beautiful that she smiled like a shimmering lake, which made people's eyes shine.
Xu Jun: "Sit down and have a cup of coffee?"
"No need. Thank you."
At this time, Mu Chen came over, exchanged a few words, and then sent his sister out of the store. Xu Jun kept watching them walk away, pondered for a moment, and told Xu Xu about helping their sister and brother that day, and then changed the conversation: "This girl is very clever and has a good temperament. You said I hired her to work in the company. How is the assistant?"
When Xu Jun said this, he really had no selfishness. You must know that a girl who is smart and clear, and looks good, is indeed a talent. And he originally had a flamboyant assistant of a strong woman, but he was about to give birth to a child, and he was going to take a half-year leave, and he was short of people. Mu Tong has a unique temperament. If he is competent in the future, he certainly cannot ask for it. In high-end business exchanges, there is such an assistant, and those corporate executives must speak to her softly.
Originally, he was just talking casually, but Xu Xu, who seldom paid attention to his work, shook his head when he heard the words: "No, she is not suitable."
Xu Jun was a little surprised, and smiled lightly: "Why? In such a short time, you can analyze her ability is not good?"
"No." Xu Xu answered quickly, "She has a calm temperament, and she has a moderate attitude. And according to what you said that day, she may be someone who can take care of things. You also said that she runs a bookstore by herself. I checked the Internet just now. Although the bookstore is not big, it has a good reputation, which shows that her management skills are also very good. But... "
As Xu Xu's tone changed, Xu Jun's heart suddenly tightened slightly, and he heard his sister say, "She is blind, so she can't be your assistant."
Xu Jun was stunned for a moment.
Xu Xu continued: "Her demeanor is no different from that of ordinary people, and her eyes are very bright. You can't tell the difference. It's normal. But she has calluses on her fingertips. Who would use her fingertips often? In addition, she has a right hand. There are also calluses on the palm of the tiger's mouth.
"In addition, Mu Chen walked by holding her hand the whole time, and kept talking to her. Do you think this is what happens when we meet? Because it was the first time she came here, Mu Chen was guiding her. And she told us When speaking, there were obvious pauses in every sentence, and I guess she was habitually listening to the voice.
"I also checked the Internet just now. Netizens commented on her bookstore. They also said that it is a pity that the beautiful owner is blind."
Xu Jun was a little shocked.
It turned out that this woman had never seen him.
☆、The color of the world (middle)
Mu Tong lost her father when she was young, and her mother pulled her and her younger brother up. Therefore, her character is also quite like her mother, strong, independent and quiet. At the age of eight, she fell ill and lost her sight after she recovered. Her mother and her five-year-old brother were holding her and crying, and she softly reassured them that it didn't matter, she would take care of herself.
And she did fulfill her promise and lived a life like ordinary people.
When she met Xu Jun, it happened to be her most difficult time. My mother was seriously ill, and she threw the small sum of money she managed to save from opening a bookstore in the past few years. The younger brother wants to help the family, but gets into trouble at the nightclub. Therefore, Xu Jun's hard work is a help in the snow, and she will remember it in her heart.
But she also understands that life follows fate. After two encounters, she thought that she might not have an intersection with Xu Jun in this life. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon three days later, in the bookstore filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, an uninvited guest was greeted.
The visitor walked lightly and walked straight to her behind the counter. The waiter next to him wanted to step forward, but the man said softly, "Don't worry about me, I'll find your boss."
Mu Tong recognized her voice—the girl who was with Xu Jun that day. She stood up immediately: "Hello."
Xu Xu stood in front of her.
Although the Xu brothers and sisters have different personalities, sometimes their eyes and preferences are surprisingly the same. For example, Xu Xu passed by this bookstore today and came in for a stroll. But just looking at Mu Tong's snow-clean face made me feel comfortable.
"Hello, my name is Xu Xu." She went straight to the point and reached out to Mu Tong.
Mu Tong smiled slightly and stretched out her hand, but there was still a little distance from her hand. Xu Xu moved his hand forward and took the initiative to hold it.
Mu Tong personally accompanied Xu Xu to linger among the bookshelves. Xu Xu selected several books on social psychology, and while he was thinking about it, Mu Tong smiled and said, "Books related to parenting are in the fifth row, and there are some foreign firearms magazines on the last shelf."
Xu Xu was startled and looked at her sideways: "How do you know?"
Mu Tong smiled lightly: "I have a very smart nose. You have a milky smell on you, and a little bit of salt and fire."
After Xu Xu returned home in the evening, he told Ji Bai what happened today. Ji Bai put his arms around her waist and stuck his head into the collar: "Does it smell like milk? I'll smell it carefully."
After a while, Ji Bai released her contentedly, but admitted that even with his sensitive nose, he couldn't tell the smell. Xu Xu held the red marks all over his neck that he "smelled", and sighed while holding his chin: "Her nose is really smart. If you weren't blind, it would be great to join the police force!"
Ji Bai also nodded. Although the forensic technology has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years, such things as "smell" cannot be accurately collected and identified.
"But if she wasn't blind, her nose might not be as smart." Ji Bai said, "That's how things are."
Xu Xu and Mu Tong soon became friends.
Not to say how close they are, both of them are quiet characters. But sometimes, tacit understanding and friendship do not need too many words and exchanges at all, and will quietly breed and establish. Xu Xu likes to read books. There are some strange books in Mu Tong's store that cannot be bought online. She simply got a membership card from her and read it every weekend.
Mu Tong also liked Xu Xu's character very much, being direct, frank, and going his own way. When she was reading and paying attention, she would say with a cold face to the little girl in the store who wanted to chat with her: "Don't quarrel with me." The little girl was so wronged; but there was something in the store, such as being too busy, which one When the clerk wanted to leave temporarily, she would put her hands in her trouser pockets and go to the back of the bar: "I'll help." Over time, several girls in the store were both in awe and fond of this cold-hearted policewoman.
They also found a common hobby. Once, a young female clerk, watching a male customer who was frequenting him walking away, muttered shyly, "What is this person doing?"
Xu Xu on the side did not lift his head: "He is an elementary school teacher, so he is very suitable for you. If you want to chase, you can shoot."
Mu Tong said, "Well, it's the teacher of the Second Elementary School."
All the clerks were stunned and turned to look at them both.
Xu Xu put down the book and looked at Mu Tong. And in Mu Tong's quiet black eyes, a Cheng Zhan smile appeared.
Xu Xu observed it: his briefcase, his walking posture, the chalk dust on his hair, his speaking habits...
Mu Tong smelled it: the smell of ink, chalk, and the scent of a large area of lavender at the entrance of the second small gate of Lin City.
Different way, same sharpness.
After that, the two occasionally became interested, and there would be such a secret exchange.
"This man is a civil servant."
"That's right."
"what about this?"
"IT technical man."
"I can't smell this."
"I understand you, the computer has no taste."
Xu Jun knew that his sister had gained a close friend, and it was more than half a month later. When he heard Xu Xu mention the name "Mu Tong", her eyes appeared in his mind reflexively. Although the facts are in front of him, he always loses a sense of reality whenever he thinks of Mu Tong's blindness.
how to say
I have seen the beauty of those eyes, and the colors in her eyes that are brighter than the stars and snow. How can you not see with such a pair of eyes
Of course, he will not mention this to Xu Xu, but will only comment lazily on her rare female confidant: "The first time I heard that friendship is established between women because of reasoning. Sister, you are really strange. "
Xu Xu thought for a while, then nodded and replied, "That's right, my love is based on reasoning, and so is my friendship."
Xu Jun laughed and stroked his sister's hair, but did not express another thought in his heart.
The woman he once loved deeply became his sister's only female friend; now, the woman who reminded him of his thoughts for the first time in many years has become her confidant again. Is this fate
However, those thoughts were just a sliver of it. When I woke up, it might fade away after a few days.
Xu Jun would occasionally go to the bookstore to sit, which seemed to be a matter of course: sometimes he would pick up Xu Xu, and sometimes he would drop by for a cup of lemon tea or buy a newspaper and magazine.
Regarding Xu Jun's arrival, Mu Tong's attitude remained calm. But Xu Jun felt that the way she looked at herself was different from others. When he raised his eyes and frowned, those black eyes that were like watery light were silent and gentle.
However, he also knew it was impossible because she couldn't see.
The two talked occasionally, and the tea that Xu Jun ordered was never handled by ordinary shop clerks, but by Mu Tong who brewed it himself. This was probably because he was grateful for his previous help, but this unusual treatment always attracted the attention of other customers in the store, which made Xu Jun happy.
Occasionally, when the clerks ordered takeout, Mu Tong would also ask, "Do you want Mr. Xu?" Xu Jun had not eaten this kind of ordinary takeout for many years, so of course he said no. But when he flipped through the magazine, he inadvertently raised his head and saw her sitting behind the bar with a few shop assistants, holding a lunch box and eating silently, one bite at a time, slowly and gracefully, and he suddenly felt a little hungry. He found that although she couldn't see, she was very picky about eating. She carefully picked aside chili, scallions, and minced ginger. She didn't like eating large pieces of meat, and she didn't like eating pork liver. Come out - pig liver is a clear purpose, doesn't she understand? It turns out that she is not as calm and sophisticated as she looks, and she will also have a little willfulness and childishness.
After a few months without wind and waves, one day, the company secretary laughed and teased him: "Mr. Xu, everyone is guessing who your mysterious girlfriend is?"
Xu Jun was surprised: "Girlfriend?"
Secretary: "Yes."
"I don't have a girlfriend recently."
Secretary stunned? No? Without a girlfriend, why did the prodigal Mr. Xu get off work on time every Friday and drive away with a fresh look on his face? There are several best-sellers on literature and art on his desk. With his character, how could he read such kind of books? Moreover, according to the analysis of the secretaries and assistants, there are exquisite bookmarks in the book, and there are beautiful fonts of women, so she is not a girlfriend
On the second birthday of Xu Xu's son, Xu Jun got off work early from the company, bought a large toy robot, and carried it back to Xu Xu's house. When the doorbell was pressed, it was Mu Tong who held the child's hand to open the door. Before he could speak, she was already smiling: "Hello, Mr. Xu."
Xu Jun threw the toy to the child, the child laughingly dragged the toy and staggered along, while the two of them walked in behind him side by side.
"How did you recognize me? I smell?" Xu Jun was in a good mood today, and there was a smile in his voice.
"Um."
"What's the smell?" Xu Jun raised his arm and sniffed, "I washed it very well."
Mu Tong was amused, revealing a mouth of white teeth: "It's not a bad smell. The daily life of ordinary people is relatively stable, so the smell is different."
Xu Jun: "You are really comparable to my sister. You can become a detective just by relying on your nose. People around you can't hide anything from you, right?"
After saying this, he walked forward, leaving Mu Tong alone, slightly startled.
Xu Jun and his nephew were sitting on the floor playing with toys, while Mu Tongan sat quietly on the sofa drinking tea. Ji Bai and Xu Xu had not yet returned home, only Xu's father, on a whim, directed the nanny to fight in the kitchen.
Xu Jun played with the child for a while, then looked up at Mu Tong.
What he said just now was somewhat indistinguishable between joy and anger, and it was not intentional. He was no longer a hairy boy, but looking at this girl who is blind, but more sensitive than ordinary people, whoever wants to get along with her can't hide anything from her. She is obviously as fragile as rushes, but she is so strong that it makes people eye-catching. Of course, he Xu Jun would not find a blind girlfriend, it would be too troublesome... His mood was inexplicably agitated.
When Xu Xu came home, he saw his son sitting on the ground happily, but his brother and Mu Tong were extremely silent, and there seemed to be a strange atmosphere in the air.
But Ji Bai had warned her that between a man and a woman, the weirder the atmosphere, the more drama. So seeing this scene, she felt relieved after a busy day, and nodded to them with a smile: "Brother, Mu Tong."
Xu Jun stood up and took the briefcase in her hand.
Mu Tong also stood up, the two were very close, Mu Tong frowned slightly. This subtle change in expression was caught by Xu Xu. She thought about it and asked, "What did you smell?"
Mu Tong was silent for a few seconds, then replied: "The smell of blood is very light. There is also the smell of disinfectant."
Xu Xu stared at her, looking a little absorbed, and suddenly held her hand: "Very good, go to the police station with me, now."
Xu Jun and Mu Tong were both stunned, Xu Xu explained: "Yesterday there was a murder case, the deceased was a doctor, I touched the body, everything smelled of blood, and the doctor also smelled of disinfectant. Now we have four suspects The deceased was stabbed by a sharp object and died of heavy bleeding. If it was the murderer, he should have the same smell on his body. Let's go and help me identify. Xu Jun, you drive us, the son will stay at home with his grandfather, and the mother is going to solve the case ."
When the three arrived at the police station, they saw that the office on the floor of the Interpol team was brightly lit, and many people were busy. Xu Xu took Mu Tong to find Ji Bai, and Xu Jun followed suit. Xu Xu turned to look at him: "You can go back first." Xu Jun replied lightly, "If she wants to really identify the murderer, you and Ji Bai must have to stay all night tonight, right? I'm not going to rush back to pick her up again. ?"
Xu Xu: "Oh."
Mu Tong: "No need, I'll ask Mu Chen to come pick you up..."
Xu Jun interrupted her: "No need. Since you are helping Xu Xu, I should also send you."
Mu Tong no longer refused.
In fact, Ji Bai and Xu Xu had already made a preliminary guess about the suspect, but if Mu Tong's judgment was the same, they could better help them locate the suspect. After the discussion, Ji Bai and Lao Wu were in the interrogation room to briefly interrogate each suspect again, while Xu Xu sat with Mu Tong in an inconspicuous corner.
Xu Jun sat in the corridor outside the interrogation room, squinting and dozing off.
The policemen knew Xu Jun very well. Seeing him waiting, they just thought they were waiting for Xu Xu, greeted him with a smile, and ignored him. Da Hu, Zhao Han and others heard that Xu Xu brought a blind beauty to help, and they were surprised and curious. Originally it had nothing to do with them, but he took the folder seriously, walked to the room opposite the interrogation room, and examined it carefully through the dark glass.
Towards the end of the interrogation, they came out. Xu Jun heard them talking: "Hey, it's really beautiful."
"It's a pity I'm blind."
"Ask Xu Xu tomorrow if she has a boyfriend."
Xu Jun suddenly became anxious again.
In the past, if he had such a slight affection for other women, he would have already started a passionate pursuit.
But Mu Tong is different. Listening to Mu Chen, she was twenty-five years old and had never had a boyfriend. Who would dare to touch such a woman? He didn't dare.
After the interrogation, everyone held a meeting in the big house of the criminal police team to discuss. Xu Jun sat at the door, but he could see clearly and listen carefully.
He couldn't understand the analysis of the case, Ji Bai spoke quickly, briefly summed up the previous situation, and then looked at Mu Tong.
Not only him, but the elders of the criminal police team were all looking at this beautiful and compelling woman beside Xu Xu.
Mu Tong's expression was always gentle and calm, even when he noticed the eyes of everyone, he didn't panic at all, and only answered clearly: "The first woman smelled of oil smoke, the same smell of air freshener as the deceased's body, and the deceased's body. The smell of sweat, the salty smell of heavy tears, is she the wife of the deceased
"The second person has the smell of flowers and plants, which is the same as that of the deceased couple. There is also the smell of smoke and the smell of the vehicle tail... I guess he is a staff member of the deceased's community
"The third person... The smell of blood, the same smell of disinfectant as the dead. And the smell of tape, the smell of formalin..."
When she said this, everyone's expressions changed. Because Ji Bai didn't tell her about the suspect, but what she said was consistent with the case - the deceased was wrapped with tape on his hands and feet, and then stabbed to death. And the eyes of the deceased were gouged out and have not been found yet. And the formalin that Mu Tong said was the embalming solution used to soak corpses or organs...
After the case analysis was over, Ji Bai called his superiors to apply for a search warrant for the suspect. All the men looked at Mu Tong, and Da Hu asked, "Miss Mu, why is your nose so smart? It's so talented."
Xu Jun sat outside the door, looking at her calm face through the curling smoke ring.
Mu Tong's face suddenly turned red, and she replied softly, "It's not that exaggerated. I used to have the same sense of smell as an ordinary person."
Zhao Hanzhi asked in a daze: "Then it has become so powerful now?" Da Hu immediately stabbed him with his arm. Mu Tong didn't care, smiled and replied: "When my eyes were first invisible, life was very inconvenient, and later I practiced specially. In fact, you can practice too." After a pause, he said, "Close your eyes and be quiet. You can hear it clearly and smell it clearly."
A very common sentence, uttered by her soft and gentle voice, made everyone quiet.
Xu Jun looked at her quiet and graceful face across the crowd, and remained silent.
Close your eyes and be quiet. You can hear it clearly and smell it clearly.
It turned out that her world was like this.
☆, the color of the world (below)
For Xu Jun, Mu Tong became a kind of existence.
a habitual existence.
Every Friday, he would still go to her bookstore, flip through the books, drink the tea she made, and the cakes she made by herself. They seldom chat, and most of the time it's just inadvertent glances. He would stare at her face, and her eyes would still glide over him calmly.
Everything is quiet and beautiful. The quiet and comfortable bookstore she arranged by herself, a pot of emerald orchids she bought, the fragrance of tea leaves between her fingers... Xu Jun sometimes felt that he should thank Mu Tong because she provided him with such a quiet place. After being busy with work, only by returning to her can the whole person relax. And whenever he closed his eyes and leaned on his exclusive sofa, the words she said that day would always come to his mind.
Close your eyes and the whole world will be quiet.
There are also people who pursue Mu Tong. There were a few days when someone at the bar of the bookstore always brought flowers when they got off work. And the shop assistants, whether intentional or not, quietly talked while Mu Tong was away.
"It's a white-collar worker in the opposite office building," they said. "Our boss is still very attractive."
Xu Jun glanced at the flower, which was just a red rose.
As long as Mu Tong smelled the flowers being delivered, he whispered to the clerk to take the flowers away. After about a few weeks, the person's flowers were no longer sent, and the shop assistants were a little disappointed, but Mu Tong lived quietly as usual. Xu Jun was noncommittal, but his mood was inexplicably happy.
The deeper and deeper the sinking, sometimes, people are unknowingly and let themselves go.
Tomb-sweeping day is also Friday. Early in the morning, the secretary asked Xu Jun softly, "Mr. Xu, the flowers and offerings are ready. Are you going to the cemetery at noon as usual?"
Xu Jun was startled and nodded.
Every month, every month. Before he knew it, it had been five years since Zi Xi died and twelve years had passed since he was gone.
Xu Jun sat alone in the cemetery until late.
The photo on the tombstone was taken when Zi Xi returned to Lin City. It was capable and beautiful. In fact, it was not what they looked like when they fell in love.
When he fell in love, he couldn't remember what she was like. Just remember the feeling, gentle, warm, soft, obsessed. He only remembered the love at that time, which made him feel like he was burning on fire every day when he was young. Too fiery, too sweet, like exhausting all the affection of a lifetime.
When the moon rose on the branches, he got up from the grave, put his coat over his shoulders, and walked out along the dark path.
At this time, the phone rang, and it was two reminders from the notepads he had ordered.
The first is "the anniversary of the death of Zixi".
The second is to "return the book to Hitomi".
The night was so cold that the book that needed to be returned to Mu Tong was still in the back seat of the car. Xu Jun looked down at his watch: at this time, the bookstore closed early.
But on such a day, after worshipping Zi Xi, he had nowhere to go, and driving his car, he unknowingly walked around to the door of Mu Tong's bookstore. There were few people on the street, and her bookstore was still lit, a soft white light shone through the glass door on the steps outside. A slender figure could be vaguely seen, sitting behind the bar with his head lowered.
Xu Jun pushed open the door and walked in.
She was the only one in the store, she raised her head when she heard the voice, and there was still a gentle smile in her lake-like eyes.
"Here." She stood up and closed the book and pen in her hand.
"Write what?" Xu Jun asked. I often see her reading the same book, "One Hundred Years of Solitude", and writing with a pen.
"A little comment." She smiled and replied, "What tea?"
He was still sitting on the sofa in the corner, while she made tea, served pastries, and sat quietly behind the bar. The stars were shining brightly outside the window, only the two of them, separated by a few steps away, remained silent.
But Xu Jun felt that the originally painful mood seemed to be much better.
Xu Jun left after sitting for half an hour. After driving out for a few minutes, he remembered. He turned around and went back to see Mu Tong closing the door of the store by himself, groping and locking the door curtain with both hands skillfully.
"I'll take you off." He sat in the car and looked at her silently.
Xu Jun drove Mu Tong home.
The car galloped fast in the night, the lights shining. It was almost midnight, and Mu Tong was extremely focused when participating in the investigation, and looked extremely tired at this time.
The two did not speak the whole way. When she got downstairs to her house, Xu Jun got out of the car and opened the door for her: "I'll take you up."
Mu Tong gathered up his collar and scarf, shook his head and smiled: "No need, the road is very familiar."
Xu Jun looked at her shoulders that were slightly curled up in the cold wind, her slender neck wrapped in a lake blue scarf, and her frost-white complexion. For a moment, he suddenly wanted to pull her into his arms.
There are so many beings, but he happened to meet such a person. From the first time he saw it, it made him feel distressed.
But he held back and nodded lightly: "Goodbye." The car drove away.
After he left, Mu Tong walked up the stairs step by step. She and Mu Chen rented an old-fashioned building with no elevator, and the lights on several floors were broken. But it doesn't matter, it's all the same to her.
Obviously a familiar road, but
