Chapter 33: Estrangement

In the kitchen, Mu Chaoyang turned off the gas, and he carefully checked the stove and found nothing unusual.

Standing at the window and thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered something, and went to turn on the water heater, and as he expected, the water heater was not running.

That's the gas problem, not the stove. Mu Chaoyang sighed and was about to call the gas company to ask someone to repair it. Before the phone was dialed, I saw a smile on the sofa in a daze.

"Smiling?" Mu Chaoyang tried to call her, and the afterglow swept to the fact that the quilt that was still scattered just now had been neatly folded by her.

Zhang Xiaoxiao raised her head and took a deep breath, "Is the problem solved?"

"Nope. Mu Chaoyang noticed the abnormality of her mood and walked to Zhang Xiaoxiao's side, "I guess there is a problem with the gas supply, what's wrong with you? Hungry?" he pointed to his suitcase, "It seems that my mother has packed something else for me, you open it and take it to eat." ”

"Mu Chaoyang. Zhang Xiaoxiao endured it for a long time, but finally didn't hold back, "I can't do anything well." ”

She began to count her mistakes, "Causing trouble to people all day long, work poked out such a big basket, and it also affected Wu Menger." When I got home, I quarreled with my mom and ended up bothering you. ”

Xiaoxiao counted with his fingers, "Look at it now, even if you cook a dumpling, you can't cook it well...... What use do you think I'm for?"

"I think the dumplings are almost cooked. Seeing this, Mu Chaoyang smiled like this, and thought sideways for a while, "If you want to eat it like this, we will take it out for a while and put it in the microwave to heat it." ”

I don't know why this ...... The point of the problem isn't dumplings, right?

"It's not a big deal, let you eat it. Mu Chaoyang rubbed his smiling hair and began to call the gas company.

"Hmm, is that so?" Mu Chaoyang nodded, "I hope you can notify you in advance next time this kind of situation, it's okay, goodbye." ”

"I'm out of breath here. Mu Chaoyang, who hung up the phone, spread his hands, "So, it's not your problem." I'm going to get dumplings. ”

"No......" smiled and grabbed him, "I'm not talking about dumplings...... "I'm talking about causing trouble...... The second half of the sentence was stuck in his throat, and some of them couldn't be spoken.

Mu Chaoyang looked at the sleeves that were pinched by Xiaoxiao, sighed, and sat down again.

"Aside from arguing with your aunt, you should apologize and not run around. Mu Chaoyang smiled bitterly: "How can you take nothing with you on a sudden business trip?"

"My mom knows?" Xiaoxiao thought that she was well disguised and successfully concealed the house, so she was ready to go out for two days with peace of mind.

Mu Chaoyang smiled dumbly, "Don't worry, I called Han Qi, and he helped you hide it." Said you went to him. ”

What Han Qi said, Zhang's mother still believed it very much, and smiled and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Look, I asked you to help me clean up the mess." ”

"Know not to be so impulsive next time. Mu Chaoyang preached to her, "You can't be blamed for Wu Meng'er's matter, someone has the intention to do it, didn't you call the police?" ”

Regarding the person who framed Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao didn't have a clue, but Mu Chaoyang had some ideas.

Like what...... An Ruqing.

An Ruqing misunderstood what happened to Shu Ling and her, and Mu Chaoyang never told Zhang Xiaoxiao. After Xiaoxiao found out about the situation that day, he was the first to suspect An Ruqing. After all, she has the reason and the ability to spread such news.

I don't know if it's my own delusion, Zhang Xiaoxiao felt that she didn't have a clue at all, but Mu Chaoyang said that she had the chance to win.

"Why are you going?" Xiaoxiao was still wondering if Mu Chaoyang was hiding something from her, and saw him get up to leave.

Xiaoxiao remembered that he had just said that he was going out to run errands, and asked with some concern, "Did you go out before you had breakfast?"

Mu Chaoyang looked back and smiled, as bright as the winter sun, of course: "Go and get the dumplings for you." Don't you want to eat?"

The word "think" was stuck in Zhang Xiaoxiao's mouth, and finally he only nodded.

She doesn't seem to have much interest in dumplings either...... Xiaoxiao touched the corners of her inexplicably raised mouth, Mu Chaoyang is really magical, wasn't she feeling sorry for herself just now?

Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was full of vitality at Mu Chaoyang's place, obediently returned home, of course Mu Chaoyang came back, even if she didn't go home, she couldn't continue to stay there.

"Are you back?" Fortunately, the mother and daughter did not have an overnight feud, and Zhang's mother nagged as usual as if nothing had happened, "A girl runs out all day long, and she is not afraid that others will annoy you." ”

Xiaoxiao always felt that her mother had something to say, and she was a little weak-hearted, could it be that Mu Chaoyang sent her back just now and was bumped into by her mother, right?

remembered what Mu Chaoyang had told her and Han Qitao before, and smiled and replied, "My brother won't hate me." ”

"You bully people's hearts. Zhang's mother meant something, but she quickly let go of the smile and didn't say much.

It's not like ...... Xiaoxiao observed her mother's reaction, if she really knew that she went to Mu Chaoyang's house last night, she would not let herself go so easily. Xiaoxiao thought so, and was relieved.

It's just that I don't know what Han Qi said to Zhang's mother, Xiaoxiao came back to live at home for a few days, but Zhang's mother didn't ask a word of superfluity, so Xiaoxiao lived a comfortable life for several days.

Yu Yan also came back to work, and after work, she came to Xiaoxiao to eat, drink and have fun, called "suspension inspection" Xiaoxiao seems to have really become a "paid vacation".

Just smiled and cared a little about Wu Meng'er. Not long after that little girl stepped into society, she was affected by herself like this, and she couldn't help it.

She sent a few messages to Wu Meng'er, and felt that the replies were faint, so Yu Yan came over and asked a few more questions with a smile.

"Yan'er, Xiao Wu, she has recently ...... It's nothing, right?" asked with a smile of apprehension.

Yu Yan knew what she was asking, and hesitated, "She didn't blame you...... But you also know that when something like this happens, she ...... Still some stress reaction. ”

"What's wrong?" Hearing Yu Yan's words, he smiled and became anxious, "By the way, about the deduction of money, I am going to make up for her, but I don't know how to tell her, you say I ......"

"I said you, don't mention this as soon as possible!" Yu Yan blocked back the words with a smile, "Xiao Wu, what happened to the lack of this little money that was deducted when she was at home?

"I know......" Xiaoxiao was a little aggrieved, "Xiao Wu doesn't care, but I can't pretend that nothing happened...... Always thinking about making up for a little bit is a little bit ......"

"Huh. Yu Yan sneered, "Come on, in her eyes, you're the culprit and humiliation." ”

Xiaoxiao heard that Yu Yan made sense, and became more and more anxious, "Then what do you say?"

Yu Yan tilted her head, thought about it, and asked with a smile: "Didn't you say that you were wronged?"

"Hmm. He smiled and nodded, "I really didn't send that message." ”

"That's it. Yu Yan saw that Xiaoxiao's brain didn't turn around, and explained to her: "If something like this happens, Xiao Wu will always have someone to hate." ”

After all, the little girl who just graduated was criticized by the leader by name, not to mention, and she had to report it in the system, and she must have some emotions in her heart.

"Now that you are responsible for the crime, she can only blame you, and it is useless to say anything. ”

Seeing Xiaoxiao and was about to interject in a hurry, Yu Yan ignored her, and continued: "But if you find the culprit, she will have a new target." If you treat her a little better, she will have the empathy that you and she are both victims, and naturally she will not blame you. ”

"That's ...... Is it really good?" Xiaoxiao still had a pimple in her heart, but what Yu Yan said was very reasonable, and she couldn't refute it.

"It's all like that. Yu Yan looked indifferent, "It's a big deal to find out the culprit, I'll help you guide her." ”

Xiaoxiao was a little worried about what to do if she couldn't find the real murderer, but at this time she didn't have any other way.

Yu Yan's plan was perfect, but God seemed to have made a joke on Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao, who was still waiting for the notice from the unit that day, was watching variety shows at home, and heard the sound of the mobile phone news push "Ding Ding Ding" ringing non-stop.

She thought that something big had happened in the entertainment industry, and when she looked down, she sat up one by one.

News flash, "China Earthquake Network automatic determination: At 18:31, an earthquake of about 7.6 magnitude occurred near Dong County, F City, and the final result is subject to the official flash report. ”

The next news item reads: "There was an earthquake in F City, and many earthquakes were felt strongly. ”

In just a few dozens, I watched it back and forth many times with a smile before I dared to click in to watch the news content.

Xiaoxiao University studied in N City, which is located in an earthquake-prone area, and she encountered a 4.2 magnitude earthquake in a surrounding city.

At that time, she was scared to stay in the playground all night, and after the communication was restored and reported to her family that she was safe, the first thing she did was to confirm that Mu Chaoyang was safe.

Even though the two were in the same school, Nanqi University was in a mess at that time, and the two couldn't take care of each other at all.

Mu Chaoyang was still a student union cadre in their college, and after cooperating with the teacher to settle down his classmates, he also came over to confirm that Xiaoxiao was safe.

Level 4.2 is that scary, level 7.6...... Xiaoxiao couldn't imagine what kind of tragedy it was.

The incident happened suddenly, and there was not much information in the news, but fortunately, the population of F City is not dense, but although it is in the earthquake zone, it is not an earthquake-prone area. Many commentators expressed concern about the preparations for earthquake prevention and disaster mitigation there.

Xiaoxiao thought about it for a while, no one she knew could have anything to do with F City. People are selfish creatures, and although they will feel sorry for the misfortune of others, they are ultimately better than having an accident with their friends.

The earthquake in City F took over everyone's lives for the next few days, and as everyone feared, the earthquake caused great pain there.

Houses have collapsed, casualties have been lost, countless families have been shattered, and all who care about it have been traumatized.

Perhaps out of professional habits, Yu Yan who has seen Xiaoxiao in the past few days is all worried.

"It's just over the New Year, and there is such a big thing, and I don't know how many people will get post-earthquake trauma syndrome......" The two looked at the news, and Yu Yan sighed, "No, I'll go see if there is a need for a psychological team." ”

Xiaoxiao empathized with Yu Yan's reaction, she only hated herself for being too useless and couldn't help much at this time.

"You're going to be a volunteer again?" Yu Yan usually doesn't look very enthusiastic, but she knows that she is very soft in her heart and willing to contribute. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had a chance to get to know Yu Yan.

"I don't know if I'll be able to do it yet. Yu Yan flipped through the group of her graduate students, "I am far away from psychology after the disease control, I am afraid that it is too late to find a group at this time." ”

"What about work?" Xiaoxiao asked her, "If you really pass, it's not a day or two, how can the unit explain." ”

Yu Yan, who was still full of energy just now, died down in an instant, and she forgot that she was no longer at the age of doing whatever she wanted to do.

"Let's wait for the donation notice. Yu Yan, who succumbed to reality, gave up the toss, accepted his fate, and decided to take the easiest way.

But Yu Yan and Xiaoxiao never expected that they would really be able to go to the earthquake area, because in the end Wu Menger went there.
