Chapter Twenty-Nine: I Want to Protect You Too
At dinner time, Mu Xueran received a call from Emperor Jiuxiao.
"Mu Mu, where are you?" Emperor Jiuxiao wanted to go home and have dinner with her, but she was not in 1602, and there was no one next door.
"I'm at school. ”
"When will you be back?"
"I'm having dinner, I'm going to a meeting in a minute, and I'll be back when it's over. ”
"Well, then you have a good meal. ”
Hung up the phone, Emperor Jiuxiao was a little lost, he came back early today, but his Mu Mu was not there.
For convenience, Emperor Jiuxiao sent someone to open up the living room of the apartment for the two, so every time he came back, Mu Xueran went directly to Emperor Jiuxiao's apartment.
In the evening, it was almost nine o'clock when Mu Xueran came back from school, only the light in the living room was on, but there was no figure of Emperor Jiuxiao, and it was pitch black next door.
Mu Xueran was about to make a phone call when she saw a faint figure on the balcony outside the living room.
Mu Xueran opened the curtains, opened the glass door, faced a pungent smoke, and then looked at the more than a dozen cigarette butts thrown on the ground, Mu Xueran frowned, couldn't stand the smell of smoke, and was choked a few times.
Emperor Jiuxiao heard the movement behind him, turned around, and still held a cigarette in his right hand, the spark was about to burn to the end, Emperor Jiuxiao took a sharp breath before throwing the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and crushing it with his foot.
"Emperor Nine Owls?" Mu Xue Ran knew that Emperor Nine Owls smoked, but he was not addicted to smoking, and he had never smoked in front of her.
Emperor Jiuxiao wanted to raise his hand to hug her, but he thought that he was covered in smoke, Mu Mu didn't like it, his thin lips were lightly opened, his voice was extremely hoarse, and he was a little tired, "I'll take a bath." ”
In fact, after hanging up the phone, Emperor Jiuxiao's mood has always been very bad, he knows that Mu Xueran has something hidden in his heart, and it is related to the wolf tooth pendant around her neck, this is her injury, he didn't dare to touch it easily, so he waited for Mu Xueran to tell him personally, but she didn't say anything to him, and this fight was too.
He thought that after this period of time between the two of them, he had entered her heart, but now it seems that it is far from enough, he is a little powerless to hesitate, try to get off work early every day, come back to cook for her personally, and accompany her to eat three meals a day, he thinks he has done enough, but what about her, there are some things she doesn't want to tell herself, does she think it's really unnecessary, or does she think he doesn't deserve her trust?
It's no wonder that Emperor Jiuxiao thinks too much, after all, for Mu Xueran, he suffers from gains and losses, and it is easy to lose his mind.
Emperor Jiuxiao sat in the living room until the sky was completely dark, Mu Xueran hadn't come back yet, he only felt that he was abandoned, he was irritable, turned on the light in the living room, and went to the balcony to blow the cold wind, and then he couldn't help but smoke a cigarette, so he couldn't help it.
Mu Xueran closed the door, thinking of his lonely figure and cigarette butts just now, he was a little distressed, and said in his heart: Sure enough, the position of Emperor Jiuxiao in his heart is getting heavier and heavier.
At this time, a bar in the East Side.
"Brother Han, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Cheng looked at Duan Hanyu, who had been staring at the wine glass in a daze, and couldn't help but ask.
Duan Hanyu didn't know what was wrong with him, when he came back from the library, what kept coming to his mind was Mu Xueran's fighting appearance and his indifferent eyes, he was a little irritable, shook his head, picked up the wine bottle and took a few sips, "Drink." ”
Mu Xueran came back from washing up next door, and Emperor Jiuxiao hadn't come out yet, because he didn't know how to face Mu Xueran.
It wasn't until Mu Xueran sat on the sofa and fell asleep that Emperor Jiuxiao walked out of the bathroom. Seeing the small figure on the sofa, Emperor Jiuxiao's expression was complicated, no matter what, it was the person he put in his heart.
Mu Xueran felt that she was being picked up by a warm and citrus scented embrace, and opened her eyes in a daze, "Emperor Jiuxiao." ”
The voice was soft and glutinous, and Emperor Jiuxiao's heart was filled in an instant, and a trace of helplessness crossed her eyes, just as long as she was still by her side.
Emperor Jiuxiao put the person on the bed, and Mu Xueran was also awake at this time, she wanted to know what happened to him tonight.
As soon as Emperor Jiuxiao lay down, the person next to him rolled over and lay on his chest. "Mumu, what's wrong?"
"Emperor Jiuxiao, you are in a bad mood. Mu Xueran lay on top of him and looked at him seriously.
Emperor Jiuxiao breathed sluggishly, raised his hand to stroke the hair on the back of his head, as if he was thinking, and then said, "Mu Mu, what else happened that day besides watching a movie?"
"Huh?"
Mu Xueran didn't think about it for a while, and Emperor Jiuxiao didn't remind him, and looked helplessly at the little man who recalled in front of him.
Mu Xueran finally knew what he was going to say, she had a fight with Duan Hanyu and the others before watching the movie, but how did he know? Was it because she was upset when she fought, or because he didn't tell him?
Seeing her frowning little brows, Di Jiuxiao looked at her dark brown eyes flashing with doubts, hesitation, and a trace of grievance, and said helplessly: "Remember?"
"Hmm, it was Duan Hanyu who was disrespectful to Ah Xun and I kicked him, and then he asked someone to do it, and I ......" looked like a matter of course, she still didn't understand why Emperor Jiuxiao was unhappy.
Emperor Jiuxiao's face was calm, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I don't think I need to take these little things to heart, I don't need to tell you. ”
Emperor Jiuxiao only felt a depression surging into his heart, but he still said patiently: "Mu Mu, as long as it's about you, it's not a trivial matter. We are now husband and wife, and I want to know everything about you and know all about you. Although those people are not your opponents, you can solve them alone, but what if you encounter something that you can't solve alone. Don't feel unnecessary, and I'm behind you, and I want to protect you too. Mumu, I don't want you to hide anything from me. ”
"I want to protect you too", no one has said anything like that to Arnold since she disappeared.
She tried her best to make herself strong and no longer drag anyone down, even Luo Pei Walker, a famous drug lord in Southeast Asia, died under her gun in the end, and Duan Hanyu and the others were nothing.
So Mu Xueran didn't take these little things to heart, so naturally he felt that there was no need to say it, but he didn't expect her to care, but it hurt his heart.
He said, "Love is inherently unfair, there is always someone who will give more, and I am willing to do so." But I can respond to him too little, too little.
"Emperor Jiuxiao, I'm sorry, I'm just not used to it. I'll tell you everything in the future, don't bother you. ”
Mu Xueran also figured it out, since she chose Emperor Jiuxiao, she should open her heart and learn to rely on him, she has never been alone, has she?
Listening to her last sentence with some playfulness, Emperor Jiuxiao knew that she had figured it out, and her eyes were full of pampering, "Mu Mu is my baby, how can I feel annoyed by Mu Mu?"
Mu Xueran smiled, feeling that it was easier and sweeter than she had ever been, it was so good.
