Accompanied by He Shuoran, he walked a few musical instrument shops with good reviews, Xiao Mu finally fell in love with a flute, which was the more beautiful of the two suggested by He Shuoran, seeing that Xiao Mu almost didn't hesitate to buy a better one, He Shuoran touched his nose and cried and laughed, he felt that the beginner's one was better abandoned...... But forget it, this one is not bad, the most important thing is that Xiao Mu likes it, don't let the shape of the flute hinder Xiao Mu's interest.

He Shuoran was a little selfish in his heart, and wanted to take this opportunity to spend more time with Xiao Mu than Xiao Mu, hoping that Xiao Mu's interest would last longer.

The two took their flutes and went to the counter to settle the bill. But I didn't want to meet someone unexpectedly, it was the man who showed his pursuit of Xiao Mu a few days ago - Zuo Rui, Xiao Mu saw the owner of the musical instrument shop sitting in front of the counter stand up, and looked quite respectful to Zuo Rui, Zuo Rui's reaction was more familiar or peaceful, and patted the owner of the musical instrument store to signal him to sit.

Xiao Mu was startled, just when Zuo Rui turned around and saw Xiao Mu, an elegant and confident smile appeared, Xiao Mu nodded to Zuo Rui, "Mr. Zuo." ”

Zuo Rui looked very happy, and his long legs stepped in front of Xiao Mu in three or two steps, "What a coincidence, Xiao Mu, I was thinking about you, I met here, do you think this is fate?" Zuo Rui's eyes swept lightly over He Shuoran, who was half a step behind Xiao Mu, with a touch of pride in his eyes, but he laughed out loud before He Shuoran reacted, and then said to himself, "Laughing, what do you want to buy?" See? Senior brother can help you refer to it. ”

The tone is friendly but not too close, the attitude is natural, the smile is sincere, and the kindness is emanating, which makes it difficult for people not to answer, and it also perfectly covers up the previous sentence that wants to flirt, which makes people unable to grasp the handle.

"If you want to buy a flute, you're already optimistic." Xiao Mu smiled lightly, "Don't bother Mr. Zuo." ”

Zuo Rui raised his eyebrows, didn't care about Xiao Mu's refusal at all, nodded and said, "In this way, this musical instrument shop is very real, many of them are made by the boss himself, so the price is also extremely expensive, but the quality is very high." I know my boss very well, so let him give you a discount. ”

If he refused, it would seem a little ignorant, so Xiao Mu had no choice but to reply, "Then thank you Mr. Zuo." ”

"You're welcome, in ancient times, gentlemen had the friendship of giving away the piano," Zuo Rui chuckled, and walked to the counter with Xiao Mu's footsteps, saying gently, "Friends don't have to say thank you." ”

He Shuoran sneered in his heart when he heard this in the back, kicking his nose on the face, but he had to answer a few words for the sake of face, and he was "friends" when he "made friends", which was really shameless. But He Shuoran didn't speak, Xiao Mu is very assertive, and he also has the ability to deal with it by himself, if he interferes too much, even if it is out of good intentions, it will be annoying, respect is nothing more than that.

Zuo Rui went to the counter and told the boss, the boss understood what Zuo Rui meant, and said that the musical instrument was originally for people who were destined, and it was not a problem to give discounts, but I didn't know which one they were fancy, and his attitude was kind and polite, but he forced He Shuoran to lead him to see the flute and get the finished product, leaving the space to Zuo Rui and Xiao Mu.

He Shuoran himself was a little worried, but thinking that the two of them were at the counter, he could see it as soon as he walked a few steps back, so he put his mind at ease, and took Xiao Mu's favorite flute with the owner of the musical instrument store, and when he returned to the counter, he saw Zuo Rui leaning over and standing next to Xiao Mu, the two of them were separated by the arc corner of the counter, Zuo Rui's elbow was propped up on the counter, the distance was far away, and it seemed to be closer than ordinary friends; said that it is close, but it is a degree that people can't retreat - it is the most appropriate distance to tease - scratch.

"It's a pity, I can't play the flute, so I can't give you even a little help," He Shuoran heard Zuo Rui's voice with a low smile, "But I think you have beautiful lips and are more suitable for...... If you're interested, I can teach you. ”

I don't know why, He Shuoran felt that Zuo Rui's tone was subtly different from the words "" and "teaching", as if he was hinting at something, He Shuoran raised his eyes, glanced at Zuo Rui coldly, and walked to Xiao Mu's side, which happened to be the middle of the two, separating Zuo Rui and Xiao Mu, He Shuoran nodded to Zuo Rui detached and politely, suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zuo is really an elegant person, but Mr. Zuo is very busy, how can I be embarrassed to trouble you to delay the time to take us Xiao Mu." ”

"Hehe, Mr. He is overrated," Zuo Ruipi smiled and pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "The question of whether you are busy or not, in fact, it depends on the individual, it is important, no matter how busy you are, you are free; If you are upset, you will have no time to be idle. There is still time to bring Xiao Mu. ”

He Shuoran choked, and didn't know how to refute at the moment.

"Mr. Zuo is really a good person," Xiao Mu smiled in his eyes, as if he didn't hear the meaning of Zuo Rui's words, and sincerely sent a good person card, and then pursed his lips lightly, revealing the small pear vortex on the side of his cheeks, green and beautiful, and simply laughed, "But I'm stupid, I'm afraid I can't learn it, I don't know how long it will take to learn the flute, and I will ask Mr. Zuo to teach me if I have the opportunity in the future." ”

It just so happened that the boss wrapped the flute, and the discount was halved, this discount made He Shuoran frown, the price of this flute is not low, and half price is already a big favor, not to mention ...... Xiao Mu's previous living standard was not high, and a party was sooner or later, so I am afraid that it would be inevitable.

"It's getting late, how about having a meal together?" Sure enough, Zuo Rui sent out an invitation, and smiled at He Shuoran as he spoke, "He Gongzi is also together, getting together is fate, it's better to meet by chance, I think today is a good day." ”

"I'm sorry Mr. Zuo, Brother He accompanied me to choose a flute today, and my mother has already made an appointment to eat at home." Xiao Mu smiled apologetically, "Thanks to Mr. Zuo today, why don't I invite Mr. Zuo another day." ”

"That's a good feeling, I can remember, don't forget to contact me when the time comes." Zuo Rui laughed heartily when he heard it, Xiao Mu nodded, stretched out his little finger and made a hook posture, Zuo Rui's expression was suppressed for a moment, and then he smiled even more, stretched out his hand and hooked Xiao Mu's fingers, quickly put it down, and waved his hand at Xiao Mu, "Then I'll wait." ”

Xiao Mu nodded to indicate that he understood, and left with He Shuoran after saying goodbye to Zuo Rui.

The two figures were a little farther away, Zuo Rui took out his mobile phone from his pocket and pressed the answer button, his attitude changed from serious just now to a little careless, "Hmm...... Well, I know...... You can check him, Xiao Mu, you don't have to worry about it...... Heh......" I don't know what the person over there said, Zuo Rui laughed unclearly, and then hung up the phone.

Seriously? He couldn't tell. It's just that it shouldn't be as serious as the third child said, maybe it's still too lonely, and Xiao Mu just happened to arouse his interest...... How did such a child, who was only fifteen years old, manage to be a beautiful smiling face at all times? That smile is still so comfortable in people's hearts, sincere that people can't see a flaw? Zuo Rui lowered his eyes and smiled, is this really the case?

Although it was unfounded, he always felt that this teenager was the same as him.

Originally, he just went for the key, but now it's not, obviously it's more convenient on his side, but it's going to be handed over to the third child, and his side is restricted from moving.

***

He Shuoran and Xiao Mu walked out of the musical instrument shop, and walked silently for a long time, He Shuoran cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "Xiao Mu, if you can, don't get too close to Zuo Rui." Opening his mouth, He Shuoran wanted to explain, but found that the words were not so easy to speak, did he want him to tell Xiao Mu that Zuo Rui's pursuit was not as upright as it seemed, and explained to Xiao Mu the meaning of []?

- It can't be done at all.

Zuo Rui just relied on Xiao Mu's young age and didn't understand anything, so he took advantage of some verbal advantages, and even the meaning was quite vague. If you want to say malicious, there may really be none, his methods are indeed straightforward, not stalking, no threats and coercion, not even physical faux pas, it is difficult to say anything bad about him. Moreover, the style is quite gentlemanly, so Xiao Mu is not easy to refuse.

The pursuit can be refused, but only in the ambiguous and tempting situation to refuse, I am afraid that it is not a person who is embarrassed.

"Brother He? Why? Xiao Mu slowed down his pace, and he Shuoran was closer, his voice was not unhappy, but in He Shuoran's ears, there was a little erratic taste, "Mr. Zuo is kind and kind, and he is like that...... Enthusiasm, in fact, I'm not good at dealing with the cheeky skin of self-cooked. ”

Rao is He Shuoran was in a serious mood just now, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard Xiao Mu's description of Zuo Rui, but after laughing, he was even more helpless, yes, especially this self-familiar and cheeky, in fact, there is nothing rude.

"Actually......" Xiao Mu stopped, He Shuoran was so absorbed that he didn't react and bumped into it, but when he was about to retreat, he didn't expect Xiao Mu to suddenly turn around, the smile on his face had a kind of cunning, grabbed He Shuoran's arm, Xiao Mu stood on tiptoe, leaned into He Shuoran's ear, and said a word quickly and quietly.

At that moment, He Shuoran's body stiffened.

"So don't worry about me, I know how to protect myself." When He Shuoran came back to his senses, Xiao Mu had already walked a few steps away and looked at him, with a faint smile, "Brother He, let's go, let's go to Thirteenth Street, I have ordered something there." ”

He Shuoran couldn't describe the taste in his heart, just looking at Xiao Muyun's light appearance, he didn't want to ask, he was almost silent all the way, and followed Xiao Mu to the 13th Street, 13th Street is an old street, a place where the older generation of craftsmen gather, Xiao Mu ordered here is a wooden box, about 1 meter 2 or 3 in length, both sides of the box are carved with patterns, although it is not very delicate and beautiful, but there is a feeling of quaint atmosphere, He Shuoran looked at Xiao Mu very happy, and immediately took out the flute and put it in the box, and the box even made a box sleeve, which can be carried on one shoulder.

"Your box is a little too big, isn't it?" He Shuoran looked at it and smiled, "In this way, you will be tired of carrying it every day, so why don't you use the flute bag given by the owner of the musical instrument store?" ”

Xiao Mu smiled and didn't speak, seeing that He Shuoran had to shake his head, he knocked on Xiao Mu's forehead quite intimately and said, "You." I think you want to learn the flute, is it just that you fell in love with this box first, and the flute was bought back to look good in the box. ”

"Well, you've seen through it." Xiao Mu's eyes flickered, but he didn't refute, walked to the alley and waited for about ten minutes, and the driver who answered came. Xiao Mu smiled and put the flute and the box into the back seat of the car, and looked back at He Shuoran, "Brother He, where else do you want to go?" Mom said she was going to go home and talk about it, so she was ready for dinner. ”

"Then go back, don't let Auntie keep waiting." He Shuoran saw that Xiao Mu didn't want to play anymore, and it was almost dark.

Liu Xianshan welcomed He Shuoran's arrival, prepared a rich variety of dishes, personally cooked a braised fish to entertain He Shuoran, Xiao Liling was invited by a friend to go out to play golf at noon, Xiao Yushi did not come out to eat under the pretext of being unwell, there were only Xiao Mu, Lu Jin, He Shuoran and Liu Xianshan at the dinner table, Liu Xianshan's acting skills are superb, He Shuoran is also very polite because of Xiao Mu's attitude, and the meal is not embarrassing, and finally Liu Xianshan gave He Shuoran a specialty, and warmly invited him to play next time, He Shuoran agreed one by one, In the end, he was sent away by Lu Jin and Xiao Mu.

Standing outside the villa, seeing He Shuoran's car getting farther and farther away, Xiao Muse shrank his shoulders, looked at Lu Jin with a faint expression on the side, and said, "Brother, let's go into the house, it's a little cold outside." ”

Lu Jin glanced at Xiao Mu twice, and after Xiao Mu wondered if there was something strange on his face, Lu Jin looked away and stepped into the house - whether it was in his previous life or now, he couldn't see that Xiao Mu had any feelings for He Shuoran. For parents, sisters and brothers, and even those who love themselves deeply, the feelings you give are so limited, Xiao Mu, what kind of person are you? What do you want?

Thinking of the look he saw when he was dying, Lu Jin's heart cooled again, no matter why, it actually didn't have much to do with him, even if the behavior was a little different, but Xiao Mu was still the same Xiao Mu, and he hadn't changed a bit.

***

After the school anniversary, there seems to be no change in the days of school, except for walking on the road and receiving more attention, of course, other people's eyes cannot have a little impact on Xiao Mu.

After all, news is time-sensitive, and everything will be forgotten after a long time. But Xiao Yushi seems to have lost on her own mentality, she was originally seen by the whole school in her underwear, it is not good to say it, and it is certain to be ridiculed, Liu Xianshan also gave Xiao Yushi advice after learning about this matter - underwear is such a thing, everyone has a personal hobby, this belongs to **, but it is not a devastating event to expose it, Liu Xianshan and Liu Xianshan have prepared a lot of gift boxes, with a water of underwear inside, so that Xiao Yushi can go to school early and quietly put it in the drawers of her classmates, A smile can resolve enmity, after all, who would dare to stand up and say that they don't wear this thing?

Atmospheric and chic may not be a good solution.

However, Liu Xianshan overestimated Xiao Yushi's psychological endurance, and after discovering the things in the drawer, a girl in Xiao Yushi's class threw her underwear on Xiao Yushi's face in front of the whole class and mocked her, Xiao Yushi did not make a perfect response......

Xiao Yushi couldn't raise her head more and more, and she was always worried that Lu Jin would publish the photo in his hand, she was frightened all day long, the whole person was already very gloomy, Xiao Yushi's stop made Lu Jin feel a lot smoother, but she didn't relax her vigilance, Xiao Yushi is not a powerful opponent, but she is not a person who will be hit by these things in front of her, after a lifetime, Lu Jin has a heart; What really made Lu Jin feel a little more relaxed was that after Xiao Mu bought the flute, he would study with He Shuoran at school for half an hour the next afternoon, which gave Lu Jin a lot more freedom - they were all the sequelae left over from the rehearsal of the stage play, and he could go home without Xiao Mu in the same car, which was very good.

Dealing with Xiao Liling and Liu Xianshan, he didn't want Xiao Mu to see any clues, a terrible person like Xiao Mu tried not to expose what he could hide.

But Lu Jin didn't expect that he guarded against people's cunning and ruthlessness, and was careful of the excellent advanced disguise, but he forgot the simplest and most stupid danger-

Lu Jin stood in the silent and remote alley, and then flashed in the dim light, looking at the three fierce gangster-looking people opposite, he moved the corners of his lips almost imperceptibly, if it was just blackmail, it was necessary to force him to such a ...... with a sharp knife Do you let the heavens fail, and the earth and the earth where they ought not?

It's more than seven o'clock, a dead end, blocked exits, very few pedestrians, surveillance? He didn't see it, but even if he had, it wouldn't be of much use, right? There were three on the other side, one had a controlled knife, and the other two had a small holy sword of physics, and he had empty hands, Lu Jin smiled bitterly in his heart, no matter what, he didn't think he could do it on the other side.

The big man with the knife signaled to the younger brothers on both sides, and the three of them were surrounded, blocking almost all of Lu Jin's way to escape, although the mobile phone was charged, the chance of successfully asking for help was almost zero, and it would immediately attract a violent beating for him.

If you can't fight, it's impossible to escape. Lu Jin raised his hand, signaling that he would not resist, and tried his best to soften his voice to show that he was harmless, "A few big brothers...... I—I'm just a student, I'll give you all the money, don't hurt me, okay? ”

When the big man saw him say this, he didn't refute it, one of them walked over, waved the wooden stick in his hand, and rudely snatched the wallet in Lu Jin's hand, and didn't look through it, so he put it in his pocket, and seeing that Lu Jin didn't move, he grabbed Lu Jin's collar and yelled, "That's all?" Get your phone out! Warning you not to play any tricks! As he spoke, a stick hit Lu Jin's kneecap.

Lu Jin snorted, the bad feeling in his heart precipitated, a sharp pain in his knee almost made him unstable on his feet, the big man pulled his collar and slammed it, Lu Jin fell to the ground, the dim flashing lights, the sharp pain on his body, the hopeless alley, Lu Jin inevitably recalled the scene when he died, it was the same at that time, and finally Xiao Mu came over...... It's just to end his life.

The street lamp overhead □□, and suddenly popped, bursting out of a string of small sparks, the sound of the explosion was startling, the light became brighter, the big man was squinted by the stab, and also interrupted the rhythm of his own desire to beat Lu Jin, the big man spat and scolded, ", this ghost street lamp!" I'm going to smash it! Boss, let's hurry up, don't blow up the street lights in a while! ”

"Hmm." The big man with the knife answered, and the big man beside Lu Jin paused, took out his mobile phone and pulled up a picture, put it in front of Lu Jin's eyes, and said in a vicious voice, "Have you ever seen this thing?" Leave it to me, or I'll let you eat the knife! ”

Puff - another electric current exploded, the street lamp above the head suddenly dimmed, everyone only felt that it was dark in front of them, and Lu Jin had already waved away the big man's hand, and at the same time grabbed his hand in the expected direction, the rough feel of the wooden stick rubbed in the palm of his hand, and he didn't react to the big man and suddenly exerted his strength, but he didn't expect that the big man was stronger than him, plus he was hit by a stick before, and was kicked in the stomach by the big man, and he took several steps back, leaning against the wall and barely standing, listening to another muffled snort in the dark, and his eyes flashed with surprise.

The sound of the electric current provoked emotions in people's hearts, making people nervous, and suddenly there was a pop, and the lamp, which had fallen into darkness for a moment, emitted an extremely dim light.

And under this dim light, Lu Jin squinted his eyes in pain, only to find that the big man with the knife opposite was lying on the ground with his stomach covered, curled up in pain and couldn't make a sound, the sharp knife in his hand had long since disappeared, the dim light made Lu Jin's eyes widen, what did he see-

It was a figure.

He was a little short for a boy, but his hair was a little long, and his hair was a little messy and his hair was scattered and his expression was obscured, and he could only see the excessive corners of his lips that were raised and slightly panting because of running too fast.

It's Xiao Mu.

Lu Jin's pupils shrank, it was not Xiao Mu, but it was, the real Xiao Mu. 166 Reading Network
