Chapter 61: A Proposal That Disturbs My Heart
Mi Zhen said that she had eaten too much and wanted to digest it, so she pulled me and started wandering around the nearby mall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info knew that there was no hope of going back.,I began to have the idea of going home.,Mom was already angry.,If you go back late today.,I guess I'll be angry.。 Thinking about the low air pressure I was going to face, I began to hum and want to go home. Seeing my anxiety, Mi Zhen became more leisurely, and it was only after my complaint gradually became louder that she stopped, turned around and looked at me with a smile: "Zhizhi, you have no intention of shopping now, is it because of antiques?" Or are you worried about antiques? Or are you worried about coming home late and being scolded? ”
Mi Zhen's seemingly trivial question poked me directly at the sore spot, and I glared at her, only to find that I couldn't refute Mi Zhen's question. After repeating 'that' several times, because he couldn't say anything, he finally had to give up, sulking and leaving Mizhen alone and walking forward silently. Mi Jin followed me unhurriedly behind me, and I couldn't see the look in her eyes on me, which slowly turned from banter at first to worry.
When I walked to the side of the public rest Changyi, Mi Zhen grabbed me and pointed to her high heels: "My feet hurt." Mi Zhen sometimes has a coquettish tone in her tone, which makes people listen to it very badly.
"I know you're angry." As she sat down, she put her hand over my shoulders and looked at me. Unlike her bluntness, I kept avoiding making eye contact with her, but this avoidance was not due to annoyance or anything, but instinctively avoiding Mizhen's question.
Mi Zhen looked at me with some fear, sighed, and her tone became gentle: "I'm sorry to ask you an inconvenient question." I'll take you home when I'll rest here for a while. ”
I put my index finger on Mizhen's lips, and my face was no longer tangled just now: "Don't sigh, good luck will run away." ”
"However, I think my best luck right now is to have the opportunity to hear Zhizhi's inner voice." Mi Zhen blinked mischievously and pointed to her heart, "Although it was a malicious question just now, I didn't really mean to embarrass or provoke you." I'm just trying to get you out of the mess. When Li Zhilin called, he also mentioned this issue. He said that even when you laugh, you look preoccupied. He feels that you are always hiding yourself in deep shadows, and even he fears that in the end you will drown in the darkness of your own making. ”
"Drowning in the dark?" I muttered to myself Mizhen's words.
Mi Zhen nodded: "I always feel that in addition to Uncle Mo's affairs, you are still bothered by other things." Here, for example, although there are no wrinkles, there are traces of sorrow. Mizhen pointed to my eyebrows, "It's shallow, but if you look closely, you can still see it clearly." Supposedly at your age, this place should be a flat horse. ”
I subconsciously touched the place where Mi Zhen's index finger had pointed, and smiled awkwardly: "I, I don't have anything on my mind." By the way, you've been gone for so long, are you thirsty? I'll go buy you a drink. ”
"Want to wait until I'm done." Mi Zhen pressed me who wanted to escape: "I'll buy a drink for a while." But we want to be clear now. Now, I apologize for my impulsive quarrel with Li Jing today and delayed our investigation of Su Baichang. As for what happened on Friday, I will confirm with Li Zhilin, or ask Zhilin to contact you to make it clear. Also, the lone wolf statue you photographed on Friday, I'll make it clear to my antique friend and ask him to keep it for you, and when you help me get the white snake back, I'll give it to you as a reward. ”
"This one is too expensive." I shirked, "I can buy it myself in installments." As long as you can ask the shopkeeper to help me stay. ”
"No, you don't." Mi Zhen waved her hand, "I think the boss didn't want to sell that ornament that is not very good." As for whether it is valuable, I think that I have taken advantage of the bargain by exchanging an antique ornament for my heirloom that cannot be sold. Besides, there is no news about my White Snake yet, and it is too early to say how much money will be paid. I have a question for you now, though. Won't you explain why you've been throwing tantrums with me just now? It's so fierce. ”
Hearing Mi Zhen ask this, I became even more embarrassed, and hesitated for a long time before I said in ink, "I'm sorry." However, the reason why I was angry just now is indeed to blame you and Li Jing for being unreasonable, so embarrassing. And it was supposed to be better today, but today we are still standing still. Another reason is that I find your question too acute and upsets me. ”
"You just admit that you're angry with us, so you can't be an obedient card in other people's hearts!" Mizhen then sprinkled coarse salt on my sore spots.
But getting used to her temper, and the fact that I wasn't as angry as I was when I was first asked this question, I reluctantly shot back, "Even if that's the case, there's nothing wrong with me being in a hurry to go home, right?" To be honest, I do feel like life has been chaotic since I came into contact with you lately. Every day is scared, not because of White Snake or Su Baichang, but because I feel that I have become very strange. I promised my dad that no matter what happened, it would be the same as before, but now I feel that I have become too strange. I now want to go back to my old life, just as he never left me. ”
"But what's different now than it used to be?" Mi Zhen looked at me tenderly.
I shook my head in annoyance: "I can't tell. But I just know that my life is different. Things that I never thought about before happened to me one after another. My life became rushed and unplanned. I don't know what's going to happen next, and I feel very insecure about my life right now. I don't know if it's because my dad is gone, or because I'm getting involved in all this mess. Maybe. I looked at Mi Jin in distress, "Maybe even if these things happened the same, if Dad was by my side, I wouldn't have panicked." ”
Mi Zhen smiled knowingly and patted the top of my head with her hand: "But you don't reject the current life?" ”
I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know. ”
"Since I don't know, if there is any obvious rejection, but I just feel insecure. So why not give it a try? When we were young, we all wrestled because we were learning to walk. But we never gave up learning to run on the ground because we left the warm embrace of our mother. Mi Zhen brushed my hair for me, "We have all been exploring the world around us since we were children, but we have changed from being ignorant and fearless at the beginning to being afraid because of our worries. Actually, if you think about the events of these days now, do you really feel that you want to go back to your old life? Or do you really want to explore the stories of Uncle Mo that you don't know yet? Although I dare not say that I am a person who can perceive people's hearts, I can feel the heat of curiosity in your heart. Don't be in a hurry to refute me first, and then think about why you want to help us investigate Su Baichang and the orientation of the furnishings, why Mao Sui recommended himself and swore to help me find the family heirloom, if you figure it out, you can find the source of your current insecurity. I can't help you answer the questions you put in your heart. I can only follow my experience and let you try to answer the questions in your heart. Do you really think that you can feel safe when you go back to your old life? ”
When Mi Zhen said about flowers, her eyes were soft and firm, which was very different from her usual appearance, "The sense of security is not to live according to the life that others seem to be happy, and there is no template for life." You don't have to do anything, or you can avoid what you should have experienced, whether it's fortunate or unfortunate. In life, happiness and badness are experienced by anyone, but it is because of this kind of experience that you can listen to your inner voice calmly and calmly when facing familiar encounters. What gives you a sense of security is never someone else's experience, but your own. Whether Uncle Mo is by your side or not, the things he has taught you to handle things, and the things he has taught you will be a source of security for you. From the moment you were born, he has been invisibly protecting you, knowing that you will also leave this world one day. So, don't be afraid, he's always there for you. ”
"And how long will it take me to regain my security?"
Mi Zhen shook her head: "I don't know. Everyone is different. But I'm looking forward to seeing Xiao Zhizhi get rid of her troubles. So, don't look at me like that, as if I bullied you. Didn't you just buy a drink? I'm almost done, I'm done with my drinks at the convenience store, and the two of us go home. With that, Mi Zhen reached into her satchel and took out the car keys, but I stopped her.
Mi Zhen didn't understand my movements, and looked at me with a questioning expression: "Didn't you say you wanted to go home?" ”
"But I can't let you drive me." I shook my head and helped Mi Zhen zip her satchel up, "When I bought coffee just now, I forgot that you drove me here today." ”
"So?" Mi Zhen still didn't understand what I meant.
"There's alcohol in your coffee." I said this with a blank face, and sure enough, I saw Mizhen use her thumb and forefinger to make a small width in the air. I shook my head with a straight face: "That's not good, not a little alcohol, as long as it's drunk, you can't drive." This is irresponsible. ”
"You're so rigid." Mi Zhen frowned, a little impatient.
But my attitude is very positive: you just can't drink and drive. Everything must be done on the premise of safety, which is responsible for others and responsible for yourself. You should do the same in the future, don't drink and drive, don't drive tired. It's not easy to be alive, it's a lucky thing, and you have to cherish it. After saying that, I got up from my seat and stretched out my hand to Mizhen, "Okay, the two of us can only take the subway home today." ”
Mizhen looked at me in surprise for a moment, then smiled, stood up with me, and tapped my head with her index finger.
The best thing about Mizhen is that when you get into an argument, if you stand on the right side, she will immediately change her mind and won't complain. At a time when I've seen too many bad incidents where people always blame others for their mistakes, it's a very pleasant thing to be able to meet an honest and responsible child like Mi Zhen. Although it is a bit inappropriate to call someone a few years older than me a child, I can always see in Mi Zhen the kind of simplicity and grace that can only be seen in children, so I always treat her as a child unnaturally. Because of this, my first impression of Mizhen's arrogance has disappeared as the two of us get along more and more. Overall, I'm more and more fond of Mi Zhen, who is beautiful and has a great personality. So in hindsight, it was precisely because of this trust that I slowly built up that I uncharacteristically agreed to her plan that sounded completely crazy.
"Zhizhi, quit your job." While waiting for the bus, Mi Zhen suddenly turned her head and said to me.
"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment, although when she went to the company to find me before, she had also made such an unreasonable suggestion and quarreled about it, but at that time I only thought it was her whim nonsense, but I didn't expect her to be obsessed with it. But even if she said it again, I didn't change my mind, after all, this is a stable job with a decent salary. I crossed my hands in front of my chest and posed an 'X': "That, I guess it's better not to." Without thinking, I rejected her proposal, "I don't have the idea of changing jobs yet." Besides, I don't even know what I'm going to do when I get out of here, and it's hard to find a job like I have now. ”
Mi Zhen sneered and stepped onto the train, with an expression on her face that she had already understood: "You." But she refused to say any more than she could say, leaving me alone to scratch the back of my head for no apparent reason, and followed her to the subway.
Probably angry because I refused too simply, Mizhen didn't talk to me again along the way, biting her lip thoughtfully alone. When she was only one stop away from the station where Mi Zhen got off, she suddenly snorted a handful of hair on the back of my head: "Just send me here, I'll walk home by myself." You don't have to spend an extra penny on a subway ticket. However, I didn't hear a word about what you just said. You go home and think about it, give me the answer, don't just think about money. "The subway has arrived, and the window outside the subway train can already see the bright and transparent appearance of the platform under the light. Mi Zhen smiled and waved at me, pulled out of the train, and squeezed into the bustling crowd without looking back. I smiled bitterly to myself, don't you have to think about money, sure enough, only a rich lady would say such a willful thing.
But if I really don't have to worry about money, what decision will I make? The door of the subway train slowly closed, and as far as the eye could reach, there was no longer Mi Zhen's figure, and I tilted my head alone and began to think about the possibility of Mi Zhen's words. For me, the cost of supporting my life is the top priority right now, but just fantasizing about a life without worrying about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea is not too much, is it?
Thinking like this, the corners of my mouth unconsciously raised, and I think I will go back to campus life. But if anyone else knows what I think, they'll be scolded severely. I was criticized for thinking about unrealistic things forever, and I shook my head with a smile, dispelling the idea that had just popped up. However, I really miss my college days.
Suddenly, I felt someone tugging at the corner of my clothes, and I looked down and saw a little girl about four or five years old with a child's flower hair blinking and looking up at me with big eyes.
"What's wrong?" I crouched down and asked her, there weren't many people on the subway now, so I could easily crouch down and talk to the kid at eye level.
The little girl looked up and smiled very cutely: "Big sister, you look so good when you smile." ”
I tilted my head and didn't understand how she could give such a good evaluation to me, and she pointed to the subway window across from me, because in the dark tunnel, the lights in the car turned the window into a mirror where I could see the figure slightly, and it seemed that I could faintly see my face. I smiled at the window, not thinking it was pretty.
The child's childish voice sounded in my ears again: "I'll just say, it's good to laugh." ”
I looked down at the little girl helplessly, and when I wanted to thank her for the compliment, a young lady hurriedly came over and kept explaining to me: "I'm sorry, my daughter is sometimes too lively. He didn't bother you. ”
"No, I don't." I hurriedly shook my hand, "Your children are very cute." ”
After listening to my words, the young mother breathed a sigh of relief, and then bent down slightly and scratched the little girl's nose: "Okay, Beibei, don't bother my sister anymore." It's time for us to get off. ”
The little girl nodded obediently and waved her hand at me obediently: "Goodbye, that beautiful sister." The young mother nodded her chin at me as a kind of goodbye, and the little girl followed behind her mother, still smiling back at me.
"Goodbye." I waved my hand before she got out of the car and said, she should have heard, right?
