Zhen Xin knew that there was a pool of muddy water in front of her.

She didn't want to go.

I can't afford to go either.

Xu Mu seemed to have expected that she would not agree, and there was no surprise on her face.

At this time, the waiter pushed open the door and brought in two plates of dishes, as well as a bottle of red wine. He opened the red wine, poured two glasses, and handed one to Zhen Xin.

Zhen Xin didn't move, Xu Mu picked up the wine glass in front of him, raised his head and drank it all.

After pouring another glass, he lowered his head and shook his fingertips slightly, and the red wine reflected a reddish light, lining his face, showing a different kind of paleness.

"Zhen Xin, I have come to this point step by step, and it is very hard. If this step cannot be passed, everything before will be in vain, and all the previous efforts will be wasted. ”

"That's also your and Miss Jia's own business, what does it have to do with me? Can you still be friends after a breakup? Heh, only a silly boy like Zhen Yi would believe it. ”

Xu Mu raised his head and stretched out his hand to gently cover the back of her hand, "Zhen Xin, when my goal is achieved, you don't have to be so wronged all the time." ”

"Really? Then you tell me the truth first, what are you approaching Jia Mengyan for? Zhen Xin's gaze fell on his ring finger with the diamond ring, and then withdrew his hand.

Xu Mu's fingers moved, he took it back, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, before he spoke again, "Zhen Xin, the person who tricked you into going to the tea room that day was indeed me." I don't covet the property and power of the Jia family, and I don't love Jia Mengyan either. I don't care what I mean now, I just need to achieve my goals......"

He raised his eyes to look at her, and there was endless affection at the bottom of his dark eyes, as if he was in an endless abyss, "But, Zhen Xin, a person who once loved you deeply, did not hesitate to drag you and the people around you down...... There must be an extraordinary reason for this, and it must be done......"

"Say no more. I don't want to hear it. ”

Zhen Xin suddenly felt flustered, she grabbed the bag hard, "Xu Mu, I can't help you." Now Zhen Xin is just a homeless person, with no parents, no home, only a job. I don't want to lose my last job and starve to death on the streets. ”

After she finished speaking, she walked out of the box quickly, and Xu Mu behind her was motionless.

She thought he was going to hold her by force.

Thankfully not.

After getting off work in the evening, Zhen Xin returned to Yujingyuan.

It was already dark, and winter nights always came so early.

Xiao Tingli sat on the sofa in the living room, and Li Yi took a long list for him to look at, "The things that need to be purchased are all listed on the list, can you see if there is anything else to add?" As for the gifts of relatives from all sides of the family, I have to prepare them yourself, Mr. Xiao. ”

Zhen Xin changed her shoes and walked over, glancing at her casually, "Why do you suddenly want to buy so many things?" ”

"It's the New Year at the beginning of next month." Xiao Tingli replied casually.

Zhen Xin didn't speak again, but when she went upstairs, her steps unconsciously lightened: unconsciously, it was the New Year.

She originally said that she would move out soon, but who knows, two months have passed in a flash.

It's not that she doesn't want to move, reality doesn't allow her to move. One thing after another, inexplicably it came to this point.

She was really afraid that when she lived outside, one day suddenly a knife was on her neck?

Jia Mengyan really did everything, and she didn't know when she would be safe?

Perhaps, the day Xu Mu and Jia Mengyan got married?

However, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Xiao Tingli is definitely going home.

Just because he didn't say anything now doesn't mean he can let her stay forever.

After Xiao Tingli went upstairs, he didn't see Zhen Xin in the master bedroom, but heard the sound of talking from the guest bedroom.

He nudged open the door and saw Zhen Xin facing the window, talking on the phone, his fingers unconsciously scratching the glass.

"Mom, it's the New Year next month."

"yes, it's the New Year." Liu Aimei sighed on the other end of the phone, her voice revealed helplessness, which made Zhen Xinting's heart panic, "Your father and I just talked about this in the morning, and I haven't had time to inform you yet......"

"You're going to take your grandfather and brother back to your hometown for the New Year, aren't you? What about me? At this time of the year, the family had already started to buy all kinds of gifts for relatives in her hometown, and she often had to go to the supermarket to help pick them up after work.

This year, she was too busy to forget, but no one told her to do these things.

Xiao Tingli's footsteps stopped, and he leaned quietly against the door.

Liu Aimei on the other end of the phone, like a child who has done something wrong, even seems weak to explain, "You know, the car at home is small, and there are so many things, so it can only seat four people...... I thought you wouldn't like to go back to the country anyway......"

"yes, I don't like it. They always urge me to get married, and they laugh at me for being an older leftover girl. Zhen Xin's voice was hoarse, and Xiao Tingli heard a forced smile from it, "It's okay, it's popular to travel for the New Year now, I have been envious of others for a long time, and I can finally realize my wish this year." ”

"Then you must pay attention to safety, the most thieves are during the New Year's holidays." Liu Aimei sighed, she felt sorry for her daughter, but she really had no choice, "Let's hurry up and find a suitable man to fall in love, and when you get married, you will have your own home......"

"A person's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is also very good, how to eat how you want, you don't have to consider other people's tastes." Zhen Xin's voice was smiling, but his face was clearly sad.

Who would love to spend the New Year alone?

The Chinese New Year's Eve is a family reunion night.

The call had been over for a long time, but Zhen Xin was still leaning motionless against the window, looking up at the silence in the sky.

It's not that I didn't think about this day.

From the day she decided to move out of the house, from the moment she decided never to bow down to her stepfather's arranged marriage, she had probably been removed from the house by her stepfather.

Regret it?

There is a little bit.

But she won't compromise.

The rest of your life is so long, everything can be done, only the lover who looks like you can't settle.

If she can't meet the right person, she would rather be lonely all the time.

Even sometimes, it feels unbearable.

Xiao Tingli looked at Zhen Xin at the door for a while, but she didn't notice his arrival at all.

He flicked his fingers and knocked on the door, and Zhen Xin came back to his senses when he heard the voice, "Are you going to eat?" I'm hungry. ”

Xiao Tingli stepped forward, grabbed her slender waist with one hand, and unswiped her cuffs with the other, Zhen Xin looked at him with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”

Mingran smiled, relaxed, and Fang Cai was like two people.

"I'll look at that watch, do you wear it all the time?"

"Of course I wear it. I chose it myself, but I like it. ”

Xiao Tingli took her palm and pressed it to her hot lips. Zhen Xin felt a flame burn from the place where he kissed, and instantly spread all over his limbs.

He pushed her down on the large bed behind him......

Three days later.

Today is the day of Xu Mu and Jia Mengyan's marriage examination, Zhen Xin woke up in the morning, and her eyelids kept jumping.

According to the training course, today she should take the guide dog for physical training.

But she couldn't help it, so she changed her plan and took her guide dog Lele out to adapt to the street environment.

Then, walking and walking, I came to the street of the city's women and children.

She refused Xu Mu's request, but when she thought of what he said that day, he didn't care about unscrupulous means now, she felt uneasy in her heart.

She called Han Beibei and wanted to remind Han Beibei that she must ignore Xu Mu, but no one answered, probably because she was too busy.

Zhen Xin was hesitating whether to go over to find Han Beibei in person, but unexpectedly saw his younger brother Zhen Yi running out of the side door of the mother and child.

She chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and called out to him, "Zhen Yi!" ”

"Sister! How did you end up here? When Zhen Yi saw her, he was very surprised.

Zhen Xin stared at him, "I should ask you this sentence." You're supposed to be in class at this time, why are you here? ”

"I'm ......" Zhen Yi rolled his eyes, "By the way, I'll help my classmates get things, yes, that's it." ”

"You're lying!" Zhen Xin's voice suddenly raised, and his face became stern, "Did Xu Mu let you come?" ”

Zhen Yi almost bit his tongue, "How do you know?" ”

"What did he tell you to do?" She felt her heart sink down.

Zhen Yi's eyes wandered, "It's nothing ......"

"Don't tell the truth yet!"

"Not a bad thing! It's just to help Brother Xu draw a tube of blood! ”

"Don't you think it's strange that he wants to draw your blood for a marriage test?"

"Not strange."

Zhen Yi replied seriously, "Brother Xu said that the Jia family still hasn't fully approved of him marrying Miss Jia, so if he knows that he has hepatitis B, he will definitely find a reason to oppose it!" But hepatitis B is not a serious disease, and it will not affect life if it is cured. ”

"That's what he told you?" Zhen Xin felt a sudden cramping pain in his chest, as if someone had taken a knife and stabbed a big hole.

Zhen Yi nodded.

"Alright, you can go back to school and go to class." Zhen Xin took out his mobile phone, "I sent you a red envelope on WeChat, eat more nutritious food in the past two days, don't spoil your body and delay your studies." ”

"Well, then I'm leaving. Bye-bye, sister! ”

Zhen Yi reached out and stroked the dog's head, and ran quickly towards the bus stop with his schoolbag on his back.

Zhen Xin turned around and led the guide dog into the city, women and children.

In the corridor, she met Han Beibei, who was carrying a box, and was about to send a blood sample, "What kind of wind is blowing today, blowing both of your sisters and brothers in front of me?" ”

Han Beibei reached out and pinched Zhen Xin's little face, smiling without a proper shape.

Zhen Xin's expression was as usual, "I'll bring Lele to familiarize myself with the environment, and I'll come up to see you by the way." Has Zhen Yi also been here? What did he come to do? ”

"He also said he was passing by." Han Beibei said with a disgusted expression, "By the way, you don't know, right?" Xu Mu brought that Miss Jia to the marriage inspection today, and Zhen Yi also said that he wanted to see what color the blood he drew out was. Phew, of course it's black! That wolf-hearted scumbag! ”

Zhen Xin's chest jumped violently, "Zhen Yi moved Xu Mu's blood sample?" ”

"Well, I took it and was immediately beaten by me." Han Beibei laughed, "That kid just owes a beating." ”

Zhen Xin didn't smile, she looked at Han Beibei, her lips moved, "Beibei, I have something to tell you......"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she suddenly saw Xu Mu walking from behind Han Beibei, looking at her with such a deep gaze.

"Zhen Xin." He whispered her name.
