Chapter 23: The Feeling of Heartbeat (2)

The fluffy little milk cat became docile and well-behaved under Bai Jiayi's petting, and her milky voice called out a cute voice to Bai Jiayi.

Looking at Bai Jiayi, who used her fingers to provoke the vision of the little milk cat up and down, Mu Zhichen suddenly had a feeling of heartbeat.

There are countless girls he has met in his life, and he often sees the girls in the office alone.

But there are very few girls like Bai Jiayi who can show an innocent smile all the time.

Maybe it has something to do with her work.

Some people say that after being with young people for a long time, even if they are over 100 years old, they will feel that their mentality is no different from that of children.

There is no invisible gunsmoke, no external oppression, the children in the campus greenhouse are the purest, and naturally their "gardeners" are also pure and lovely children.

Mu Zhichen squatted down, lifted the kitten with the color of the cow, and shook it, "Little milk cat, little milk cat, do you say this sister is not beautiful?" I don't know if the cat can understand human language, after Mu Zhichen finished speaking, he answered softly, swinging his body with his hands and feet, twisting left and right to get rid of Mu Zhichen's shackles.

"Oh, the unweaned kitten can't stand it from you mentioning it like this, quick, like me, hold its head and pick it up." Bai Jiayi frowned and patted the back of Mu Zhichen's hand and said.

“…… This is how the mother cat catches the kitten, and that's why you little girls come up with so many actions. Mu Zhichen subconsciously retorted.

Bai Jiayi glared at him, didn't pay attention to Mu Zhichen anymore, but sat aside, put the orange cat in his hand on his knees, and gently smoothed the hair.

The mall's announcement sounded, and there were 20 minutes left before the store closed.

Bai Minyi and Tao Xuyang finally found the pet store and hurried from outside.

Behind them were Cui Zifeng and Huo Ziting, who had already put their luggage in the back compartment of Tao Xuyang.

"Jiayi!"

"Sister!"

"How long have you been running here, and you still dare not answer my phone, fortunately I found you, otherwise I will see how you explain to your parents."

"Oh, didn't I mute my phone," Bai Jiayi took out her phone and looked at the caller ID on it, and said, "I'm sorry." ”

"I see if you dare to have a next time." Bai Minyi nodded Bai Jiayi's forehead and said disgustedly.

Tao Xuyang stood in front of the sisters and said to Mu Zhichen, who also stood up, "Mr. Mu, I'm sorry. Your behavior tonight makes me feel very unfriendly, Jiayi is like a sister to me, I don't want you to take her away next time, like tonight. ”

"Well, it was my negligence." Mu Zhichen raised his eyebrows, he didn't think that Bai Jiayi's feelings for Tao Xuyang were just as simple as brother and sister, he could see that Bai Jiayi also liked the man in front of him for a moment.

But from a gentleman's point of view, he doesn't intend to tell Tao Xuyang bluntly that sometimes it is the responsibility of a qualified gentleman to give women enough steps and space.

"Zifeng," Mu Zhichen put his hand in his trouser pocket and said to Cui Zifeng, "I'm sorry for you about the wood carving." In a few days it will be my old man's birthday, and I would like to send it to him as a congratulatory gift in another way. ”

"Don't worry, I'll find out what you said." Cui Zifeng said, "Just pity this one, don't you mind if I dismantle it?" ”

Mu Zhichen shook his head, he said goodbye to everyone, and the lonely figure gradually disappeared into the dim lights of the mall.

Tao Xuyang took Bai Minyi's hand and said to her, "Let's go too, we're going to close the door." ”

"Okay." Bai Minyi reached out to hold Bai Jiayi's hand, and the five of them left the pet store.

In the parking lot, Tao Xuyang drove the car to the exit, Bai Minyi boarded the co-pilot's position, and the three people behind looked at each other, and finally let Huo Ziting sit in the middle.

"Are you going back to the store or home?" Tao Xuyang drove the car to the main road, looked in the rearview mirror and asked.

"Go home directly, you can go to Fuguang Road." Cui Zifeng said, "When the time comes, I'll tell you how to go." ”

"Okay." Tao Xuyang glanced at the sign in front of him, turned to the left, and walked back to the light road.

On a cloudless night, the sky is almost ultramarine, except for the Big Dipper and a full moon.

In the era of science and technology, countless radio waves are running at high speed, polluting the environment, and it is impossible for modern people to look up at the stars with their naked eyes like children except for returning to the countryside.

Scientists use telescopes to mark the galaxy, but forget the joy of running on the ground in order to chase the galaxy as a child.

There are many streets and alleys connected to Fuguang Road, if it weren't for Cui Zifeng, who lives here, to guide the way, even Tao Xuyang, who is very familiar with Xicheng, would almost be lost.

Bai Jiayi and Huo Ziting were already leaning on each other and fell asleep.

When Cui Zifeng stopped the car, he did not immediately alarm the two, but quietly walked to the trunk of the car and moved the luggage with Tao Xuyang. Bai Minyi also got out of the car, took out a spare blanket from the trunk of the car, and put it on Bai Jiayi.

Huo Ziting, who was highly sensitive to the outside world, woke up suddenly, and his dull eyes stared at Bai Minyi with a hint of anger, making the latter's body tremble, almost waking Bai Jiayi up.

Cui Zifeng hurriedly held Huo Ziting's hand, half-hugged his body, and said in his ear, "It's all right, we're home." ”

Huo Ziting calmed down and quietly walked out of the carriage.

Tao Xuyang asked Bai Minyi to stay in the car, and helped deliver the things into Cui Zifeng's house, and at the end, said, "Thank you really today." Cui Zifeng turned around and smiled, he knew what Tao Xuyang was referring to, but he didn't think he was helping much, shrugged his shoulders, and replied, "No, we didn't help." Besides, Jiayi was found by yourself in the end. ”

"Anyway, you guys have a lot of ideas in the back." If it weren't for Cui Zifeng mentioning that the shopping mall is divided into north and south, maybe they would still be stupidly looking around in the atrium and can't see the pet store that has turned into a dead end.

"I really didn't think there would be a pet store in that kind of place, though." It seems that he deliberately does not want to be discovered by others, and the decoration of the store is no different from a forest cabin, Cui Zifeng also finds it interesting to think about it.

"Yes, by the way, what are you going to do with the wood carving that Mu Zhichen said?"

"This ...... I didn't expect it for the time being. Cui Zifeng said, "But he told me one thing before that made me very confused, he said that wood carvings can conjure up real images and then hurt his family." Actually, when I got this wood carving, it had been in my house for a long time, and nothing strange had happened during this time. ”

"Perhaps, someone deliberately lied and wanted to destroy the wood carving?"

"If that's the case, then this person really got what he wanted, because Mu Zhichen also had this plan."

"Alas...... Don't talk about it, rest early, I'll send them back. ”

"Well, you too." Cui Zifeng patted Tao Xuyang on the shoulder, and after sending the person to the door, he closed the door when he left.

After cleaning up his things on the side, Huo Ziting, who picked up the wood carving and placed it on the table, suddenly touched the body of a handful of dodders with his fingertips.

"Xiao Feng, there is powder."

"This ...... It's pollen. Cui Zifeng looked at the powder on Huo Ziting's fingers, walked to the flower stand on the balcony, and carefully observed the flowers on it.

Most of these flowers are authorized by Bai Jiayi, and they are basically able to calm the mind and contemplate, as well as psychedelic effects.

Sure enough, he found the same powder on one of the petals of one of the flowers, which could use pollen to confuse others.

"Ah, could it be that when the pollen spreads in the wind, it sticks to the wood carving?"

"No, the powder seems to have been stained in Mr. Tao's car, and you can see we have it in our duffel bags." Huo Ziting denied Cui Zifeng's words, and took out the duffel bag to make a comparison.

"That'...... What's going on? ”

"Is it Bai Jiayi?"

"Why would she do that?"

The two looked at each other for a long time, but did not come to a conclusion.

On the other hand, Mu Zhichen, who came home, soaked in the bathtub, recalling the beautiful woman she met today, with a doting smile on the corner of her mouth, if only she could meet her again in the future.

"Zhichen, take a shower and come out, Brother Jun has something to say to you." Mrs. Mu's graceful figure stood outside the bathroom, and she spoke softly, but she couldn't hide her gloating voice.

Mu Zhichen glanced at the figure irritably, buried her body in the water, and didn't want to pay attention to it.

Mrs. Mu didn't get a response, knowing that if she left like this, Mu Zhichen would definitely be punished by the old man, she smiled contemptuously, twisted her waist, and went back to the room.

A quiet street, a white sedan slowly approached.

Tao Xuyang stopped the car and moved Bai Jiayi out of the carriage with Bai Minyi.

"This girl, I don't know what she ate, her body is so heavy." Tao Xuyang said disgustedly, but the movements in his hands did not relax, he locked the car and followed behind Bai Minyi.

Bai Minyi opened the door of the house, made way for Tao Xuyang to enter, and smiled: "She's going to wake up, and when she hears you say this, she will definitely kill you." Alas, I don't know what happened to this girl today, she slept so soundly. ”

"yes, maybe you're too tired, right?" Tao Xuyang responded, quietly put Bai Jiayi on the bed, took off her shoes, and covered the quilt.

This series of actions was so skillful, so that Bai Minyi, who was standing by the door, suddenly thought that if the man in front of him became a husband and wife with him in the future, he must be a father who knows how to take care of his children.

"Go back quickly, don't let your uncle and aunt worry."

"It's okay, they're going to Postano, maybe they'll come back after the New Year." Tao Xuyang closed the door of Bai Jiayi's room, hugged Bai Minyi, and said.

His lips followed with a print on Bai Minyi's cheek.

Bai Minyi avoided his kiss and said, "Got it, don't stand at my sister's door, let's go out." ”

"Are you shy?" Seeing Bai Minyi's reddened ears, Tao Xuyang's smile became even stronger, he had never seen the person on the tip of his heart be shy because he stood at the door of his sister and kissed him, so he kissed her again.

The two frolicked and ran to Bai Minyi's room, but they didn't know that Bai Jiayi, who was on the bed, had already woken up, she held the sheets tightly with both hands, turned over, and forced herself to fall back to sleep.
