Chapter Seventy-Three: Marriage Proposal
After getting off work, Xiao Tao was the first to go out, he stood outside the door and looked at Mu Zhan, Mu Zhan looked at him quietly, bowed to him, go, little ghost.
Xiao Tao ran straight downstairs and shouted with joy, "Mommy, Mommy." ”
Or because of the end of class, or because of the person in front of him who came to find Xia Xingkong, or because the children have a curious heart.
After Xiao Tao left, Xia Xingkong didn't come out for a long time, and after Mu Zhan knocked on the door, he opened the door.
Xia Xingkong's body stiffened, and his thoughts had nowhere to put them.
Mu Zhan approached Xia Xingkong's side, so close to her that she could hear his 'bang' heartbeat clearly.
Mu Zhan put one hand on Xia Xingkong's shoulder, and a voice came from the top of his head, "When will you get off work?" ”
Her eyebrows moved, and she moved to the side quietly, "I'll be off work soon." ”
Mu Zhan scooped her into his arms with one hand, and his chin slammed against Xia Xingkong's forehead, making her feel painful, "Are you hiding from me?" ”
"It's not."
Xia Xingkong struggled, and Mu Zhan's arms tightly imprisoned her body like an iron arm.
"It's not you running what?"
"I didn't run, you let go first, there are a lot of people here."
She didn't say it hurt, she didn't want to say it hurt, her heart hurt more than her forehead.
In fact, it would be better if he didn't come over, so that her breathing would not hurt, and her sleeping heart would not be shaken again, and she would not desire again, and she would not cry in front of him.
Not to tear open those bloody wounds.
Xia Xingkong lowered his head and dodged.
"You're crying."
Mu Zhan let go of Xia Xingkong, held her face with both hands, and gently wiped her tears with his thumb, Xia Xingkong turned his face away to avoid his hand, Mu Zhan increased his strength to Xia Xingkong's eyes.
"Marry me."
Is it an auditory hallucination, is it her delusion, Xia Xingkong blinked and blinked, trying to get this terrible sweet word out of her mind, she shouldn't fantasize.
What I once thought would be a matter of course has now become so extravagant that I can't even think about it.
The scorching breath disappeared, Mu Zhan took out a ring from his pocket, and the tall and majestic man knelt on one knee, the deep pitch black flashed with a light that could not be ignored, "Starry sky, marry me." ”
Xia Xingkong's face was inexplicably hot, her palms began to sweat, and her lips trembled to show the turbulence in her heart, and she asked, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”
It was as if he were saying something disrespectful.
"Yes, I'm proposing to you."
Mu Zhan grabbed her hand and wanted to forcibly put on the ring, Xia Xingkong came back to his senses, pulled out his hand, and said indifferently: "Go back to City A when you're busy, don't come to me." ”
Opening the door, Li Xing took a step back, looked at Xia Xingkong who looked flustered, and then looked at Mu Zhan who was kneeling on the ground, "Teacher Xia, do you want to help?" ”
Xia Xingkong shook his head.
Mu Zhan stood up and put away the ring, glanced at Li Xing with fierce eyes, and forcibly took Xia Xingkong's hand to declare his sovereignty.
How can people who are twenty-six still the same as before, so childish.
Xia Xingkong was helpless about his behavior, retracted his hand outward, and whispered, "You let go first." ”
Mu Zhan clenched tighter and tighter.
A few of the instructors peeked over the way.
Li Xing seemed to subconsciously grab Xia Xingkong's other arm, "She told you to let go." ”
The two men looked at each other coldly, and Li Xing was a little shorter, obviously lacking confidence.
Xia Xingkong had a headache, she just didn't want to entangle with Mu Zhan at work, why did she suddenly have a branch, and she didn't know what messy gossip could come out tomorrow.
Xia Xingkong struggled to break free of his limbs from the hands of the two people, and said to Li Xing calmly: "I'm sorry, this is my friend, I will pay attention in the future, and I won't do private things at work." ”
Li Xing anxiously explained, "That's not what I meant. ”
Xia Xingkong smiled slightly, "I know, I'll go back first." Instead, he glanced at Mu Zhan lightly, "Let's talk about it later." ”
The meaning of the apology is obvious, she does have an unusual relationship with Mu Zhan, this is her private matter.
Li Xing didn't want to meddle in anything, and said weakly: "Oh, go back, pay attention to safety, you can call me at any time if you have something." ”
But he had a deep meaning on his face.
Xia Xingkong didn't seem to hear the words clearly, and said politely, "Okay, thank you." ”
Mu Zhan snorted unscrupulously and followed Xia Xingkong downstairs, Xia Xingkong rubbed his eyebrows, he estimated that he was a prosecutor with this gag, it seems that the motherland is really short of people.
How did he find it, she suddenly remembered what her godmother said, "People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong." ”
She should go to the temple again to worship.
Xia Xingkong took the bag and walked out, Mu Zhan followed her out with a cold face, and the parents waiting in the hall were attracted by the appearance of this man and woman.
Admittedly, it's a good match.
The receptionist at the front desk greeted Xia Xingkong with a smile, "Teacher Xia, are you off work?" ”
Xia Xingkong stopped and smiled and said, "Well, bye-bye." ”
Mu Zhan stood behind her and naturally took the bag in her hand, Xia Xingkong wanted to grab it, Mu Zhan crossed her and pushed the door straight out, "I'll wait for you outside." ”
The smile at the reception at the front desk was even more exaggerated, and the eyes unabashedly emitted the light of gossip, "Bye-bye." ”
Xia Xingkong walked out quickly, glared at Mu Zhan angrily, and stretched out his hand, "Give me the bag." ”
Mu Zhan threw the bag behind him and walked forward, "I'll give it to you when I go home." ”
Xia Xingkong twisted his eyebrows slightly and sighed, "On the contrary, my family is here." ”
Why is he still as stupid as before, I don't know how Mayor Mu can let him out with confidence.
Mu Zhan stopped, turned around and followed behind Xia Xingkong.
As if he had returned to the past, he followed her with such a dead face, without saying a word, but she was not embarrassed.
Mu Zhan quickened her pace to adapt to Xia Xingkong's pace, and swept her shoulder bag, "Why are you putting so much weight in this bag?" ”
Xia Xingkong stopped, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, "Why did you come here?" ”
"Looking for you."
"What are you looking for me?"
"Get married."
Xia Xingkong pursed his lips and clenched his hands hard, "Do you know what it means for you to say such things to a woman?" ”
"I know, it means that I will take care of you for the rest of my life, love you for the rest of my life, and not let you get hurt or be afraid......"
Xia Xingkong hurriedly interrupted Mu Zhan.
"Enough... Mu Zhan, that's enough, stop, you shouldn't come. ”
It shouldn't have caused her to reverie.
She shouldn't be given hope.
Mu Zhan grabbed her hand, his eyes were like torches, "Why do you want to drive me away?" ”
Xia Xingkong looked solemn, "We are all adults, we can no longer act recklessly like children, we are really not suitable." ”
Mu Zhan felt a bitterness in his heart, and said in a hoarse voice: "Do you still want to deceive me with the trick you used to deceive children?" ”
Xia Xingkong was suddenly startled in his heart, and hurriedly avoided Mu Zhan's eyes, he knew everything?
Those unbearable past......
Mu Zhan suddenly half-squatted down, raised his head to meet her eyes, and said distressedly, "I'd rather die than cry, don't you know?" ”
Xia Xingkong's mind was in a mess, and she didn't know how to respond, as if her current emotions were about to erupt.
"Starry sky, don't hide from me anymore, I miss you every day, I will really protect you well in the future, give me another chance, okay? You can beat me and scold me, but don't want me. ”
is also like the tone of his begging for her on the day of the breakup.
One tear, two tears...... kept falling on Mu Zhan's hair and forehead.
After so many years of patience and evasion, he collapsed at this moment, and his two hands tightly grasped Mu Zhan's clothes and cried bitterly.
Those heart-rending pasts, even if she hides to the ends of the earth and lives to be a statue at the age of 100, she will not be able to linger, it is a thorn in her heart and a sore on her body.
It was a stain on her body that could not be washed.
She wasn't wronged, but she wanted to cry the moment she saw him.
The world was spinning constantly, and no one wanted to stop and listen to her, a terrible stranger, for it was a blessing that they did not expel her.
She also wanted to see how long a labor prisoner with only a high Chinese credential could last.
She doesn't have high requirements for herself, and she is content to smile every day.
Mu Zhan hurriedly took her into his arms, and kept patting Xia Xingkong's back to give her a good breath, "Starry Sky is good, I've always been there, Starry Sky is good......"
Walking passers-by only think that this is an ordinary sad clutch, after all, these little young ones are no better than before.
Her ear was close to his left chest, the rapid heartbeat pounded her eardrum, she grabbed Mu Zhan's shirt and sobbed quietly, Mu Zhan's lips were imprinted on her forehead, her heart was bitter like a melting bitter pill, and her eyes were damp, "Starry sky, I'm sorry, starry sky, I'm sorry......"
"It's all my fault, it's all my stupidity."
"In the future, I will really protect you and not let you be wronged again."
"Starry Sky, will you give me another chance?"
Mu Zhan kissed Xia Xingkong's hair again and again, like the dense drizzle of spring, moist and gentle.
Mu Zhan's shirt was all wet with tears, Xia Xingkong was embarrassed to reach out and brush the crumpled shirt in front of her, her red and swollen eyes were still shining, she took the initiative to take Mu Zhan's hand, "Let's go." ”
Mu Zhan clasped Xia Xingkong's hand and said ecstatically, "You agreed, didn't you?" ”
The breeze blew, and the hot ground set off a wave of heat, which made people irritable.
Xia Xingkong lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, bit his lip and whispered, "Mu Zhan...... I think you'd better think about getting married. ”
Xia Xing's white and greasy skin revealed a pink luster, like a shelled egg, long eyelashes covered the eyelids, casting a faint and agile shadow in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the reddened lips bitten by teeth were as delicate as rose petals.
Mu Zhan suddenly pinched her chin, raised her eyebrows, and said with a dead face: "Do you want me to kiss you here before you agree to me?" ”
Xia Xingkong hurriedly covered his mouth tightly with his hands, looked at Mu Zhan vigilantly with a pair of watery eyes, and said vaguely, "You...... Don't mess around. ”
Mu Zhan restrained his smile, but his eyes were as deep as a pool of thick ink, "Starry Sky, don't you believe me?" ”
