16. Get in the car

"Yize."

Hearing someone shouting his name, the boy stopped and turned back. The girl who appeared in the field of vision, with seaweed-like hair, trotted to his side, her snow-white little face covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Qiao An'an gasped slightly, raised her eyes and looked at him with a smile, her eyes were full of stars, "Good morning." ”

"Good morning."

Mu Yize has always had the habit of running in the morning, but at six o'clock in the morning, there were only three or three people exercising on the playground.

Sweat slid down his forehead, his eyelashes were wet, but his eyes were as bright as moonlight. Qiao An'an followed his pace and ran beside him, because she was not exercising, she was a little anxious, "Why haven't I seen you at school recently?" ”

The boy breathed slowly, "Well, I work part-time outside." ”

Qiao An'an let out an "oh" and asked, "Then are you still short of people over there?" Seeing that the boy didn't speak, she added: "I'm so old, I'm embarrassed to keep asking my family for money." ”

Mu Yize stopped, picked up the towel hanging around his neck and wiped the sweat on his face, "It shouldn't be hiring." ”

"That's right." The tone was a little disappointed.

However, Qiao An'an is good at adjusting her feelings, and soon smiled softly: "I'll go to your side another day." ”

She once waited for him outside his part-time flower shop because of the calligraphy and painting competition, but she never went in.

"Hmm." The boy replied lightly and turned to walk in the direction of the cafeteria.

Qiao An'an followed step by step, chatting with him about some painting skills, and at the end, she pretended to mention it casually: "Eh, I follow you on Weibo." ”

Mu Yize was stunned, as if he was puzzled by how she knew his account.

Qiao Anan bit her lower lip and mustered up the courage to ask, "I see that you follow a person, is it a classmate from our school?" ”

She had been secretly paying attention to him, and the photo was very beautiful, but the facial features of the woman in the photo were a little blurry, and she couldn't recognize who it was for a while.

But it was enough to make her wary.

Mu Yize listened, and his eyebrows softened in an instant, "No." "Not much to say.

Qiao An'an's heart sank suddenly.

***

When he arrived at Qiao Xu's store, Mu Yize saw a sign saying "Temporarily closed" at the door.

The door was closed, and he tried to push it, and the clear glass was pushed open. He slowed down his pace and stepped in, looking around, Qiao Xu and Zhou Xiaoxiao were not there.

"These and these, let's tear them all down."

An understated female voice came out from inside, and Mu Yize's expression was slightly restrained, and he followed the voice and walked over.

Through the open door, he saw that the renovation workers were busy dismantling something, and the other two workers were carefully moving the furniture and appliances out.

The boy took a few steps out of the way, Qiao Xu saw him, smiled and raised his eyebrows, "I forgot to inform you not to come, I have to redecorate the lounge in the past two days." ”

Mu Yize walked up to her, watched the wallpaper and curtains being removed, and suddenly said, "Why did you think of redecorating?" ”

"It's nothing, I just want to look at it in a different style."

Qiao Xu looked up and watched the repairman remove the chandelier, and the sunlight leaked in through the window, outlining her side face in three dimensions. Her face was not soft and angular, but it did not hinder her unique beauty.

Mu Yize only glanced at it, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, until the woman turned her head and winked at him with a smile, "Aze, how do you think the decoration looks good?" ”

He came back to his senses and blinked his eyelashes slowly, "If you think it's good-looking." ”

Qiao Xu didn't bother much on this topic, "The air here doesn't smell good, let's go out first." ”

"Hmm."

After the two went out, Qiao Xu took him to a nearby cafΓ© to sit down.

This cafΓ© is in a quiet setting, with a stylish layout and the aroma of coffee beans floating in the air.

Joe stirred the milk froth in the coffee boringly, "You don't use the store these days." ”

Mu Yize was a little surprised, Qiao Xu took a sip of coffee and raised his eyes to look at him: "Of course, if you are willing to come over and help me supervise the construction of the renovation workers, I am still very happy." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Double the pay if you come." Qiao Xu smiled.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Triple as much." She continued to seduce.

Mu Yize glanced at her deeply, and asked with a serious expression: "Qiao Xu, I have always wanted to ask you a question." ”

"Just ask." The woman's tone was relaxed.

"Why are you willing to pay me such a high salary?" He only works part-time, and if you put his work time in a month together, it is only about ten days.

Hearing this, Qiao Xu's eyes flashed, and he asked in a hoarse tone: "Don't you really know?" ”

The boy was stunned and slowly lowered his eyes.

didn't get his answer, Qiao Xu was not in a hurry, and slowly turned the topic back again: "Aze, you haven't said whether you can come or not." She was referring to the thing of overseeing the construction.

Mu Yize was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "Okay." ”

For the rest of the time, the boy was very quiet all the time, and no matter how Qiao Xu teased him, he didn't give much reaction. Qiao Xu was excited, and after settling the bill, he went back to the flower shop with him.

Seeing a girl looking at the door from a distance, Qiao Xu didn't think much about it at first, just thought it was a customer who was coming to buy flowers, and walked over a few steps faster. Just as she was about to go over and tell her that the store was closed today, the girl suddenly turned around.

The two looked at each other and were stunned for a moment.

Qiao Xu's eyes instantly turned cold, and he looked at her with an unkind brow.

Qiao An was relieved and shouted weakly: "Sister." ”

Mu Yize, who was slow to follow, was also stunned when he heard this title, but he didn't expect that the two would be sisters.

Qiao Xu didn't bother to take care of her, and walked directly around Qiao An'an towards the store, walked a few steps, and found that the boy didn't follow, she paused, and couldn't hear anything in her voice, "Aze, come in and help." ”

Mu Yize glanced at Qiao An'an, hesitated for a few seconds, and walked to Qiao Xu's side.

Qiao Anan looked at the backs of the two from behind, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes, and finally walked in hard. She had heard from Qiao Hongsheng that Qiao Xu had opened a flower shop, but she didn't know it was this one. Now that I think about it, the person Mu Yize pays attention to on Weibo should be Qiao Xu.

Inside, the things in the lounge are basically emptied, without those rustic floral tones, and the return to normal rooms no longer makes people feel headache and depression.

Qiao Xu was a little reluctant in her heart, after all, she had put a lot of thought into the original decoration style.

However, she didn't come out, but turned her head to Mu Yize and smiled: "In the future, the room layout will be simple and generous, do you say okay?" ”

"If you like it." After all, this is where she rests.

Qiao Xu smiled slightly, and glanced at Qiao An'an who was standing at the door, "Then do you like it?" ”

I always feel that her question is a bit of a pun, what do you like? Do you like simple dΓ©cor, or do you like her?

"Hmm." Mu Yize replied in a low voice.

Qiao Xu laughed again and called the manager of the construction team, and the manager-like person brought a thick text, which was full of various model drawings drafted by the designer. Qiao Xu asked Mu Yize to choose, but the boy didn't listen to her, he stood still and didn't move, but said: "You choose, my taste is not good." ”

No matter how bad the taste is, can she be as bad as her? What's more, she redecorated the room for his pleasing look.

So she insisted, "What you like is what I like." ”

The workers next to her were waiting for them, and Mu Yize couldn't resist her, so he carefully flipped through the text.

He looked very carefully, comparing them one by one, and occasionally asked his own questions to the construction manager next to him. Qiao Xu watched from the side, with a smile on the corner of her lips, and she didn't bother, seeing that he was so dedicated to choosing a suitable decoration style for her, she was in a very happy mood.

If you can ignore Qiao An'an on the side.

Qiao Xu turned sideways, hooked his lips sarcastically, and stared directly at the girl not far away with his dark eyes. She didn't think Jo Ann was here for her.

The malice and coldness revealed in those eyes made Qiao An'an feel cold all over the place, and she had always been a little afraid of this half-sister. Just when he was a little at a loss, the boy Qingyue's voice sounded: "How about this one?" ”

Immediately afterwards, Qiao Anan saw Qiao Xu retract his gaze and walked to Mu Yize's side.

"Well, that's good." Although Qiao Xu prefers a mix and match style of countryside and pastoral, it does not prevent her from thinking that the style chosen by the boy is very good-looking. Judging from the layout in the picture, the bright and generous color palette makes full use of every area of the room, which looks organized and warm.

She glanced at him, then refocused her gaze on him. The two were so close that she could see the tiny fuzz on his face.

As if sensing something, Mu Yize turned his eyes slightly, but saw that the woman was looking at him intently.

He subconsciously took a step back, then looked at the time, "It's not early today, I'm going back." ”

"Hmm." Qiao Xu nodded, and then said to the waiting workers: "You guys go back first, and the work will officially start tomorrow." ”

When they left, the originally somewhat crowded room was instantly much empty, Qiao Xu sent Mu Yize to the door, and inadvertently glanced at the red car parked on the side.

She suddenly changed her mind, walked to the classic car on the other side, opened the door and nodded at the boy.

"Aze, get in the car, I'll send you."

Qiao An'an, who has always been regarded as air, couldn't help but open her mouth: "Sister, I happen to be going back to school, so I can go back with Yize." ”

Yize? It's really affectionate.

The woman frowned slightly, and did not look at Qiao An'an, still staring at the boy fixedly.

Her slender arms slouched on the car door, and she relaxed and smiled at him.

She was waiting for him to make a choice.
