Chapter Twenty-Six: Heart-to-Heart Talk
Mu Xi sighed and looked around the deserted living room, without her mother, she had to do everything by herself. Thinking that she had eaten dumplings by herself before, but it turned out to be a pot of porridge, she was not ready to try to cook by herself again, Mu Xi sat up from the sofa, pulled out her hair that was messed up on the sofa, and suddenly thought that she hadn't eaten rice noodles for a long time, so she took some change and prepared to go to the Li Ji rice noodle restaurant at the mouth of the alley.
Mu Xi touched the key in her pocket, locked the door with confidence, and just turned her head to see Su Yuan walking towards her with a smile.
Since the incident in the school cafeteria, Mu Xi has deliberately avoided him for the past few days, except for having to be with Su Yuan when she goes to and from school, she sneaks away alone at noon, not because of anything else, she just feels a little embarrassed to see Su Yuan.
But now, she is face to face with Su Yuan.
Mu Xi wanted to open the door and go in now, it was too late, so he could only say hello with a stiff expression.
Su Yuan walked in front of Mu Xi and stood still, blocking her way, and glanced at Mu Xi seriously, the smile in his eyes was even stronger.
"Xiao Soft, what are you doing out there?"
"Let's eat."
"It just so happens that I'm going to eat too, so let's go together."
"Uh, I'm going to eat rice noodles, don't you like to eat them, you go eat something else, you don't have to follow me." Mu Xi thought of Su Yuan's eyes when he bit his chopsticks, and he had goosebumps all over his body, and hurriedly waved his hand to refuse.
Su Yuan's originally bright eyes suddenly dimmed.
“…… Are you mad at me? ”
"No, no." Mu Xi didn't dare to look at Su Yuan, and replied with his eyes looking elsewhere.
“…… Actually," Su Yuan frowned, as if he wanted to explain.
"Su Yuan, I'm really hungry, let's talk again when I have time, I'll go first." Mu Xi smelled the faint smell of sunlight on Su Yuan's body, and suddenly his heart was blocked, and without waiting for Su Yuan to answer, he ran away and strode forward.
"Xiao Soft, how do you want me not to be angry?"
Mu Xi heard Su Yuan behind her, pretended not to hear or look back, and continued to walk forward in a hurry, how could she be angry with him because of this, she just suddenly realized that she didn't even have the qualifications to be angry with him.
A wry smile rose at the corner of her mouth, they were just friends, how could they be angry when they occasionally joked with each other?!
Mu Xi walked in front with her head up, the sun shining warmly on her, and the trees on the street seemed to be melted by the sun, coated with a fluffy film of light.
The weather is so nice today.
Mu Xi limped in front, she hoped that Su Yuan had left because she felt bored, but the steady footsteps behind her reminded her that Su Yuan had not left.
The atmosphere of the two people was a little awkward, Mu Xi deliberately quickened her pace, she didn't see the road conditions clearly, and accidentally stepped on the rotten banana peel that a trickster deliberately threw on the ground, and she slipped and almost fell, but fortunately, Su Yuan behind her stepped forward in time to help her.
Being held warmly and gently by Su Yuan, smelling the sunny-like smell on his body, Mu Xi was a little attached and reluctant to leave for a while, but she only paused slightly, and suddenly jumped away.
Su Yuan glanced at her helplessly, Mu Xi pretended not to see it, and walked into the restaurant quickly, and Su Yuan followed in.
"You, you're going to eat this too?" Mu Xi asked boredly.
"Well, I haven't eaten rice noodles in a long time, and I want to try it too." Su Yuan smiled and said.
Mu Xi frowned and stood still, thinking about whether to change another one by herself, but Su Yuan had already pulled a chair for her to sit down.
Soon, the rice noodles they asked for came up, but this meal Mu Xi ate was light and tasteless, like chewing wax.
As soon as she came in, Su Yuan, who was sitting opposite her, didn't say a word, just looked at her quietly, and the rice noodles in front of her barely moved.
Mu Xi couldn't hold it anymore because he saw it, and stood up and was about to pay to leave, but suddenly saw Su Yuan sitting there stiffly, just raising a pair of eyes to look at her, and the originally bright and clear eyes were covered with gloomy clouds at this time, covering all the luster, dull like dead leaves.
She suddenly softened in her heart, bit her lip and sat down again, stared at the rice noodles in front of her viciously, picked up a rice noodles with chopsticks at random, frowned and stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed hard mechanically until she swallowed it without any taste.
"Xiao Soft, are you ...... Hate me? Don't want to see me? After half a ring, Su Yuan suddenly spoke.
The chopsticks in Mu Xi's hand shook, and the rice noodles he picked up instantly fell into the bowl.
Did she avoid Su Yuan because she hated him?
Of course not!
But Fang Li and those people looked at her, which made Mu Xi realize that unlike her ordinary, Su Yuan was excellent. Su Yuan's excellence made her herself a little self-deformed, and she had to realize how small and humble she was.
Why do you know that you are just a grain of sand, but you prefer to mix with the dazzling pearl?
Mu Xi has never thought about this question carefully, she likes to be with Su Yuan, she likes to be tired of him all day long, and she likes how much he pampers her, is it really just because Su Yuan is her best friend's brother?
Mu Xi tilted her head, looking at Su Yuan, who was looking at her nervously, and at his panicked eyes with pale lips that turned pale in an instant, such an expression should not have appeared on his face.
Was her answer really that important to him?
He is Su Yuan.
From childhood to adulthood, except for Su Wu, Su Yuan is the person she admires the most. Handsome in appearance, humble and polite to people, amazing in good grades, she will shine wherever she goes, and even if she once thought about finding a boyfriend in the future, she must find someone like Su Yuan.
Such a favored person, Mu Xi never felt that she had anything to make Su Yuan feel how important she was, her identity was for him, except that she was Su Wu's good friend from childhood to adulthood, and at most she was just a sister who was a good friend of her father's generation.
Yes, even if she is special to herself, only because of these.
Mu Xi raised her head and suddenly wrinkled her nose playfully, "Who asked you to use me, and you didn't say a word to me beforehand." Just for our friendship, do you think I'll be so stingy and not help you? You don't know me so well, can't I still be angry? ”
"Little soft ......" The gloomy cloud in Su Yuan's eyes suddenly disappeared, and a pair of eyes looked at Mu Xi with a sparkling look.
"Alright, I got it. I used to be angry with you, but now it's okay. However, if there is such a thing in the future, you must consult me in advance, or I will definitely not forgive you again. Mu Xi took a big bite hatefully.
“…… There will be no next time. Su Yuan took a deep look at Mu Xi, who was eating rice noodles with his head down, and said lightly.
