21. Chapter 21

A psychiatric hospital covered with barbed wire and high-voltage power lines.

The woman stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time before she blinked unresponsively.

The clock at the head of the bed showed the time at 5:20, which was still early. She turned her head, and through the dim light, she could see a man lying beside her.

Who is he?

The woman frowned and couldn't help but reach out and poke his cheek. The touch of her fingertips was smooth, and she couldn't help but lighten her strength, her fingertips gently rubbing against his skin. When she was tired of playing, she quietly flexed her index finger and pulled her hand back and put it on her chest.

The man seemed to be tired, and there were faint cyan marks on his eyelids. His hair was neither long nor short, and its color was pure black, which made his skin as white as snow.

Ah, his lips are so good-looking, the corners of his mouth are naturally upturned, and he smiles when he is not smiling.

I don't know what it's like to kiss it?

The woman stared straight at his lips and licked her mouth subconsciously.

At this time, she was held in the arms of the man, and her waist was also wrapped around him, and the whole person was almost embedded in his body.

A little out of breath.

She moved her waist uncomfortably, but this subtle movement woke him up instantly, he touched her face, his voice was clear and there was no trace of fatigue, "What's wrong?" ”

Qiao Xu shook his head, and then whispered, "I want to go to the toilet." ”

Mu Yize was stunned for a moment, turned on the bedside lamp, and then pasted it again, holding her face and looking at her carefully. His gaze was deep and focused, as if he wanted to look at her like this until he turned white.

The woman couldn't help but urge again: "I'm going to the toilet." ”

"Okay."

He kissed her on the cheek, and her face, which was still a little cold, smiled for a moment, as if spring flowers were blooming, with a timeless and warm atmosphere.

Carefully taking her hand to the bathroom, he whispered to her, "I'll be waiting for you outside." ”

The woman nodded, took a few steps inside, was a little uneasy, turned back again, and only after making sure that he was still there did she turn around and walk in again. She's a little afraid of the dark.

While waiting, Mu Yize leaned his back against the marble wall, and the cold and hard temperature reached his skin through the thin fabric, but he didn't feel cold.

Maybe it's because he's been in the ice cellar for too long.

"Qiao Xu." He muttered names that were deep in his blood.

Normal she has become crazy instead, and she is so smooth when she is crazy.

But he selfishly hoped that she would go crazy forever, and if she was crazy, she would be able to stay by his side forever.

After waiting for a while, a slight and hesitant footsteps sounded from behind him, and Mu Yize turned around and quietly looked at the thin woman with sunken cheeks.

She was so tall that visually, her thinness was even more frightening.

In her memory, she looked good when she laughed, her eyes were naturally half-narrowed, and the curvature of the tails of her eyes carried a hint of cunning and smugness. She has always been a cunning and ruthless woman.

The man blinked lightly and stretched out his hand slightly at her, "Come here." ”

He knew that the woman at this time was gentle, weak, and approachable. It is only then that he will show his soft side.

The woman was obviously a little apprehensive, and there seemed to be a trace of the aura of the past in those dark eyes, "Who are you?" ”

This is a question she wanted to ask him from the moment she first woke up.

Mu Yize took the initiative to step forward, gently put her hand in the palm of his hand, and then smiled at her: "Qiao Xu, you forgot, I am your husband." ”

"Husband?" A hint of doubt flashed between the woman's eyebrows, and she repeated it like a parrot.

Pinning her messy hair behind her ear, Mu Yize smiled at the corner of his lips: "Yes, I am your husband, you are my wife, Qiao Xu." ”

The doubts in the woman's eyes gradually receded, and it seemed that she could feel at ease with him by her side.

She pouted childishly and asked, "Then we used to love each other very much?" ”

"Hmm." Mu Yize bowed slightly, leaned down slightly, and slowly pressed against her lips, "We have always loved each other. ”

When he closed his eyes and kissed her, he suddenly thought that if he could, he would really like to go back to that day.

On that day, the sky was blue, the woman had a faint smell of tobacco, and there was a faint smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

He didn't understand, he just thought she was insulting him......

Qiao Xu looked at him, a faint smile appeared in his eyes, and said word by word: "I like you, I want you to be by my side." ”

Mu Yize felt a little ridiculous.

Like him, that's why you designed him? Is it because he hasn't begged her as she planned these days, so she can't hold back and takes the initiative to come to him?

"Do I have any other options?" When he said this, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, not so much asking her as asking himself.

Looking at him like this, Qiao Xu felt for the first time whether she had done something wrong, but if she didn't do it, he would be with Qiao An'an, so wouldn't she have no chance?

Thinking of this, she re-strengthened her will, "I won't make you too embarrassed, you just need to stay with me for a year, I can give you enough money in this year, you don't need to work everywhere, and you can also let your mother get better care." ”

Hearing her mention her mother, Mu Yize sneered, "Is there anything about me that you don't know?" ”

Qiao Xu also felt that it was inappropriate to investigate the person's behavior in private, and said softly: "Aze, I'm sorry, I admit that I did investigate you." ”

Mu Yize looked at her expressionlessly, "What you said, it's just a year." ”

"Hmm." Hearing that he agreed, Qiao Xu was not as happy as he imagined, as if he had pressed a stone in his heart.

In order to make the promise more formal, Qiao Xu entrusted a lawyer to draw up a contract, and when he handed it to Brother Rose, he didn't even look at it, and signed his name directly.

After signing the contract, Qiao Xu gave him a key to the apartment. She chose her other apartment, which was normally decorated, simple and warm.

Mu Yize didn't react much, but emphasized: "I have to go back to see my mother every week." ”

"Yes." Qiao Xu nodded, "In addition, I will also arrange a professional nurse for your mother, as for your mother's legs-" She paused and said, "If she wants, I can arrange for her to receive a prosthesis." ”

"Thank you." There is no need to excuse himself now, but it will seem that he is hypocritical.

Qiao Xuxuan's apartment is very close to S University, and it is basically a ten-minute walk. In order to show her attention, she deliberately changed to a Cayenne that had been left in the garage and didn't drive much to pick him up, but when she got there, she found that Brother Rose didn't have much luggage, only a 24-inch trolley suitcase.

Mu Yize didn't react much to her changing cars, and after carrying the luggage into the trunk, he bent down and sat in the passenger seat next to Qiao Xu.

He didn't say a word during this time.

Qiao Xu glanced at him through the rearview mirror and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

"Nope." The voice is cold.

Qiao Xu said: "There is a Hunan restaurant nearby, the dishes are very authentic, why don't you go over and try it?" ”

"Hmm." The boy answered, and suddenly said, "Just pick what you like to eat, don't worry about me." ”

The woman laughed: "Now it's my bag. Raising you, as a financier, I think I have this obligation to take care of you. ”

Obviously it was not a good word, but it came out of her mouth, perhaps because her tone was too calm, but he didn't feel too disgusted.

Mu Yize simply looked out the window, looking at the scenery outside the window calmly.

Qiao Xu stopped talking, and drove the car intently, fifteen minutes later, she found a parking space and parked the car, and then took Brother Rose to the restaurant she introduced.

The decoration of the restaurant is not very luxurious, it is better to be simple and fresh, Qiao Xu took him into the box and ordered.

"What do you want to eat?" Qiao Xu asked him.

Mu Yize's eyes were pale, "I can do it." ”

Qiao Xu nodded, and according to his own taste and the observations he got from eating with Brother Rose, he ordered a few dishes that he might like to eat.

Taking advantage of the fact that the dishes did not come up, Qiao Xu picked up the topic and said, "Have you ever thought about what you will do after graduation?" ”

Mu Yize glanced at her, with a hint of defensiveness in his eyes.

Qiao Xu saw it and laughed, "Don't worry, I won't do anything, I just want to ask if you want to continue to work in painting in the future?" With that, she continued: "I have a friend in the same circle who runs a gallery, and if you are interested, I can introduce you to him. ”

In her opinion, if you want to become a well-known painter, you need talent and packaging.

"Thank you." Mu Yize refused to accept it, "I can handle my own affairs." ”

The conversation ended for the time being, and the waiter brought the food to him.

The two ate in silence, and the boy had no intention of speaking, so Qiao Xu was not bored.

Just looking at his cold appearance, she wanted to tease him, and after glancing at the dishes on the table, she aimed her chopsticks at the spiciest fish head with pepper.

Qiao Xu knew that Mu Yize's taste should be light.

She took a chopstick and put it in his bowl, and when she looked at him, she pretended to be indifferent and said: "This dish is the signature dish here, you can taste it and see if it tastes good." "She has always been more heavy on taste, and the dishes she likes to eat are all salty and spicy.

Seeing the boy's hesitation, she also demonstrated in person, and directly ate the chili pepper in the fish head into her stomach without changing her face.

At the end, she encouraged: "It's delicious, can you try it?" ”

Originally, I didn't want to pay attention to her, but looking at her starry eyes looking at him brightly, his shadow was reflected in his eyes, and he couldn't say anything if he refused.

In a daze, he picked up the chopsticks and fish that the woman had forced into the bowl, and slowly put it into his mouth under the woman's expectant gaze.

As soon as he took his mouth, the spicy taste quickly hit his taste buds, and his tongue instantly went numb. He chewed a few times casually and swallowed it, but there were still layers of spicy tears in his eyes.

Qiao Xu watched his face slowly turn red, and hurriedly poured him a cup of tea. The boy took the tea and poured it down, and from Qiao Xu's angle, he just saw his Adam's apple trembling up and down.

It looks so sexy.

Qiao Xu brought him another cup of tea, and Brother Rose didn't shirk and poured it again.

He really felt spicy, not to mention that his fair face was coated with a layer of powder, and fine crystal sweat appeared on his forehead. You must know that the air conditioning is on in the box.

When she was about to pour him a third cup, Qiao Xu paused, put down the teapot, and met the boy's misty eyes, she was stunned, and then looked at him with bright eyes.

Mu Yize's brows furrowed slightly, his spicy lips opened slightly, and when he was about to pour water by himself, the woman suddenly held his face.

"I have a way to get rid of the spiciness."

The woman's voice was deep and hoarse, sounding magnetic and sultry.

"What to do......

The last word disappeared between the woman's lips that suddenly came up.

His body stiffened, and he didn't know where to put his hands, he looked at her with his eyes open, and noticed that the tip of her tongue was against his lips, and the flush instantly spread to his ears.

However, he soon discovers that her skills don't seem to be good.

And with a little caution.

The two were so close that they could see her eyelashes fluttering slightly, and if you ignored these details, you almost thought she was a veteran.

Qiao Xu kissed for a while, but she didn't feel that Brother Rose responded to her, and she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated in her heart.

But his tongue is soft, so he is not as cold as others.

Qiao Xu opened his eyes slightly, and suddenly looked into his eyes, which seemed to be inhabited by a kraken, which could instantly attract people's souls. The woman poked the tip of her tongue out and smacked his mouth fiercely, making a slight "pop" sound.

"How's it going, is your mouth still spicy?"

Listening to her question, Mu Yize didn't speak for a while, and the red on his face seemed to be a little deeper than just now.

I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, he seemed to be led by her nose every time.

Hurriedly looking away, Mu Yize ate the food with a serious face, and his eyes didn't look at her again.

Qiao Xu looked playful: "How does it feel to be kissed, it should be okay, right?" ”

Mu Yize didn't want to speak, Qiao Xu tilted his head to look at him, "What's wrong, angry?" Or I'll let you kiss back next time. ”

“……”

How confident is this woman with such poor kissing skills!! W( ̄_ ̄)W

After eating, Qiao Xu drove him back to the apartment.

Mu Yize was ready to live in an idyllic room in the countryside, but when he walked in, he was still stunned.

Qiao Xu didn't hear the footsteps and followed, and turned back suspiciously, only to see him standing at the entrance. Since he was standing in the corner of the shadows, she couldn't see the look on his face clearly.

"What's wrong?" I couldn't help but ask.

"It's fine." The boy shook his head and looked down to see a pair of men's slippers on the shoe cabinet at the entrance, which looked a little childish.

"Da-da-da-da." Footsteps from far and near.

Qiao Xu pulled the slippers and walked to his side, and looked at him along his line of sight, "Oh, these slippers are newly bought by me, and the slippers on my feet are still a couple's model." ”

With that, she stretched out her feet towards him, Mu Yize glanced down and saw her white and tender feet moving around.

"Do you like it?"

I heard the woman's inquiry, and the boy replied, "I like it." When he realized that she was asking about slippers, a hint of wolf flashed in his eyes, and he bent down and began to change his slippers.

Qiao Xu didn't notice the slightest strangeness in him, and waited for him to change his shoes before taking him to his room.

The room between the two was adjacent, and Qiao Xu leaned against the door frame, quietly watching him sort out his clothes in an orderly manner. He didn't have many clothes, just a few sets of them over and over, Qiao Xu looked at it and suddenly said, "I'll take you to buy a few sets of clothes that fit tomorrow, right?" ”

Mu Yize paused, hung up his clothes, and was about to speak, Qiao Xu seemed to know what he would say, so he directly grabbed Bai and said, "Don't refuse." ”

“……”

"Also, you can't get too close to other girls in the future, at least not for this year." The reason why she gave that year was that she wanted to cultivate a good relationship with him in this year.

But her reminder made Mu Yize sober up instantly.

The relationship between them is only that of foster and foster, although he is not voluntary, but this is true.

Thinking of this, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and his voice became colder and colder, "I know." ”

At night, Qiao Xu nestled in bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

Little Brother Rose is across a wall from her.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, she got up from the bed, and after sitting for a while, she kicked her slippers and walked out, knocking on the door of the next room.

Knock knock.

Qiao Xu leaned his ear closer to listen, but there was no sound coming from inside.

Are you already asleep?

She touched her nose, pulled the corners of her mouth helplessly, and returned to the room in her slippers.

And Mu Yize opened his eyes in the darkness and quietly listened to the movement coming from next door. The soundproofing of the room is not very good, and if you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound.

He heard the sound of the woman climbing into bed, and he heard her roll over, and he thought that maybe it was all his delusion.

Closing his eyes again, he slowly fell asleep on this warm and spacious bed.

Qiao Xu did what he said, and the next day he took Brother Rose to major shopping malls.

In fact, her clothes are very good, at least the clothes she chooses for him are clothes that suit his style, on the other hand, although she is full of famous brands, but the matching is too casual, but there is a sense of chic and uninhibited.

In front of the dressing mirror of the counter, Brother Rose stood straight, his eyebrows and eyes contained a faint alienation, and his slender fingertips were buttoned slowly and methodically.

When it was time to buckle the top one, a hand suddenly rested on the back of his hand.

He was stunned and looked at the woman who suddenly appeared next to him.

Qiao Xu bent his eyebrows, pulled his hand down, and said in a casual tone: "This set of clothes still looks better with three buttons than the price." ”

Mu Yize paused, his fingertips trembled slightly, and let her help him undo the three buttons on his neckline.

I don't know if it was intentional or undoubted, the woman's fingers were still cold, and they swiped over his collarbone, bringing a slight itch.

He stared at her quietly with his eyes down, and somehow suddenly asked her, "Is this really pretty?" ”
