Chapter 17: Prelude to Parting

Previous Chapter

Coming out of the elevator, Mu Xiao took out the key from the bag with one hand and opened the door, and when he looked down, two pairs of slippers came into view, neatly placed at the entrance door. She looked at it, put one of them in the shoe closet, changed into her own slippers and walked inside.

She put a large bag of sanitary napkins into the room, stared at it, and shook her head with a sigh. Only Shen Chengyi could think of it, helpless and a little funny, and a little cute.

For a few days every month, Mu Xiao likes to eat boiled balls with brown sugar, which can be regarded as a dessert for her. Walking to the kitchen, there were dishes and chopsticks on the table that Shen Chengyi washed after breakfast, he cooked with a lot of tricks and used a lot of kitchen utensils, but fortunately, the food was delicious.

Mu Xiao stepped forward, opened the cabinet above his head, and put the extra dishes and chopsticks in, leaving only the small bowl for his own use.

Waiting for the water to boil, she turned around to the living room to turn on the air conditioner and heater, and inadvertently glanced at the guest room where Shen Chengyi had stayed, she walked in a different direction, fumbled with her hand to find the switch of the light, and pressed it.

Although it is a guest room, it is very spacious. Mu Xiao stood in place and was stunned, he was ready to clean up the mess, but the room was unexpectedly tidy, and it could even be said that it was cleaner than before Shen Chengyi came to live.

Mu Xiao glanced lazily a few times, turned off the light, and brought the door out.

The water in the pot is boiling, "goo dong-", the air conditioning and heating in the living room are blowing, "huhuhu-", the porcelain bowl and the porcelain spoon collide, crisp and pleasant.

Everything seems to be back to the way it was, but something seems to be missing.

The next day, Mu Xiao was woken up by the cold quilt, she turned on the electric blanket in a daze, turned over and continued to sleep.

It was pitch black inside, as if time had stopped forever in the night. Only the light that slipped in through the crack in the door staggered on the floor, and the movement from the living room made it difficult for Mu Xiao to fall asleep for a while, she took out her mobile phone and saw that it was half past six in the morning.

In a trance, he felt that Shen Chengyi was tossing around, and reason made Mu Xiao quickly dispel this idea. It should be Aunt Yao cleaning up the house, she asked for leave due to illness some time ago, and after counting the next day, it should be these days.

Mu Xiao put on a coat and walked out, saw Aunt Yao busy making breakfast in the kitchen, and said, "Auntie is getting better, if you are not feeling well, you can rest for a few more days, I can work at home." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Yao smiled softly, this girl is hard-mouthed, if only she could really take care of herself, she won't have to worry about it every day.

"You don't care about me, just take care of yourself, see if you're wearing so little and it's not cold, hurry back to the house and change into a thicker one." ”

"By the way, Xiaoxiao, have you packed all your luggage? I'm worried that you won't lose it by yourself, and it will be troublesome to send it to you again, so I came over early,"

Aunt Yao is about the same age as Mu Xiao's mother, her husband is in business, and she has an only child studying abroad. Doing housekeeping is purely because I can't be idle, but fortunately, I have gotten along well with Mu Xiao for more than two years, and I naturally treat her as my own child.

Knowing her living habits, in the last two months of each year, she will gradually stop all the work at hand, so as to set aside time to go back to her hometown for a while.

"I was idle last night and sorted out some clothes, and I haven't finished cleaning up yet. ”

When Aunt Yao heard this, she walked to Mu Xiao's house and began to work, "Are the things you want to bring the same as before?"

Mu Xiao drank the white porridge and pickles, and replied vaguely. Suddenly her stomach was much more comfortable, and the Western-style breakfast made by Shen Chengyi was also good, but who made her always have a Chinese stomach.

While eating breakfast, she flipped through the memo to check if there were any missing work items, and if there were no accidents, she could book tickets in the next two days.

As for the teahouse, even if she is not worried about being taken care of by a little girl, she will still not be able to let go if she can't stare at her truthfully. The annual leave was simply given in advance, and the teahouse would be closed in a week.

At this time, the mobile phone screen popped out of the phone interface from Shen Jiahe, Mu Xiao pressed the answer button, and listened to the other party's voice without speaking: "Finally sent this old man away, do you know, suddenly Chagang scared me to death, glad that Chenxin hasn't had any moths recently, hey, you have to come to pick me up tonight, do you hear?"

Mu Xiao: "Catch the wind and wash the dust, which wind will you pick up, and where will you wash the dust?"

"Of course, I'm recovering from a serious illness, and I don't know if staying in the hospital for so long will affect my financial luck, hey, do you think I'm going to go to Shangxiang? ”

"Don't worry, now that Shen Chengyi is by your side to help you, you should be able to relax a lot. ”

This woke up Shen Jiahe, recently Shen Chengyi was so well-behaved that she felt uncomfortable, and even had dinner with her father, she changed her stereotypical impression and became sensible, how could she be her younger brother so well-behaved!

Mu Xiao smiled, an expected reaction.

Aunt Yao packed up for the day and sorted out two suitcases. In the evening, someone knocked on the door, Mu Xiao opened the door and saw that it was Shen Chengyi standing outside the door, and greeted her with a smile, "Surprised!

Mu Xiao chuckled in his heart, but his face was expressionless, and he said softly, "Why are you here?"

"I just sent my dad to the airport, and my sister said that you came to our house for dinner tonight, and I didn't think it was too early, so I came over and asked you to come over, just together. ”

Shen Chengyi stood in front of him wearing a black down jacket, and white mist continued to emerge from his mouth as he spoke. He put his hands in his pockets, pretending to be careless, and said, "Are you better?"

"Sick?" Mu Xiao was a little confused by the question, but he knew what he was talking about, and said again and again, "Okay, it's good." ”

Seeing that Mu Xiao had no intention of letting him in the door, Shen Chengyi hesitated and took out two packs of pink menstrual pain patches from his pocket. Seeing this, Mu Xiao hurriedly pressed back the hand he had just taken out, and lowered his voice, "What are you buying this thing for?"

Shen Cheng was supportive, "I Baidu said, this thing works." ”

This reason made Mu Xiao open his mouth and didn't say anything. When she was so old and met a boy for the first time to give her this thing, she was a little nervous, and the closer adjective was, the fawn bumped into her.

Aunt Yao was folding clothes in the house when she heard the conversation outside the door and shouted, "Xiaoxiao, are there any guests coming?"

Mu Xiao held the door with one hand, looked up at Shen Chengyi, turned back to the room and said, "Friend, it's okay, you're busy with you." ”

After speaking, Mu Xiao went back to the house and took a white down jacket, took the door and Shen Chengyi to wait for the elevator. The two stood side by side, silent as they watched the slowly rising floor.

Mu Xiao saw the doubt in his eyes, paused and said, "It was the aunt of the family just now, and she asked for leave for physical reasons some time ago, and she just came over in the past few days. ”

Shen Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I said it earlier, I was nervous!"
