Chapter 38: It hurts
The driver glanced at the silent atmosphere in the back seat, hesitated, and cautiously reminded: "Mr. Chi, it's here." β
Mu Xi was the first to come back to his senses, cleared his somewhat hoarse throat, and tried to hold up a little smile: "Thank you, I ......"
Before he finished speaking, the man directly opened the car door and walked down, walked to the dim hallway, turned sideways slightly, waited and urged.
"......" she had to follow in three steps and two steps.
When I left in the middle of the night, the broken door panel barely resisted something, but fortunately the police had just come here, but no one dared to trespass.
Mu Xi pursed his dry lips, and was about to finish what he didn't say just now, asking the other party to go back first, and wait a few days before contacting him, and so on, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
"Pack your things and pick the important ones to take."
She was stunned and raised her eyes.
The slender figure stood on the small balcony, looking sideways out the window, as if admiring the distant scenery, and seemed to have no interest in her accommodation.
But on the angular eyebrow bones, there was still a trace of dried blood.
Something suddenly collapsed in the corner of his heart, and Mu Xi heard himself answer softly.
"Okay."
A small worn suitcase is all Mu Xi's belongings.
When she walked up to Chi Shao, she saw him frowning, and immediately subconsciously explained: "I didn't lie to you, other things are original." β
The man lowered his eyelids and walked out without saying a word.
As soon as the two of them got out of the corridor, they happened to meet the landlord who rushed to hear the news, and some neighbors who were watching the excitement.
"Hey, you're making a mess of my house, and you want to leave like this? Besides, I can tell you, you can't find such a cheap house as mine now, and if you want me to keep it for you, you can first pay the rent for the second half of the yearβ"
A stack of bills appeared in front of the squeaky woman.
"Is it enough?"
Only then did the landlord notice that the elite and high-quality man who seemed to be out of place here was actually with her poor tenant.
Yo, this little wave of hooves has finally climbed the high branches!
But of course, she only dared to take this to heart, and the woman immediately put on a smiling face and asked, "Xiao Mu, don't worry, my aunt will definitely clean you up, and when you want to come back one day......"
"She won't live in a place like this again." Chi Shao interrupted coldly, turned around and sat in the car.
The driver came over and took the suitcase: "Miss Mu, I'll come." β
Mu Xi nodded, and behind him, the landlord's mocking muttering floated from afar.
"Hey, I really can't figure it out, when I am thrown out by someone, there will be no way out at that time......"
She brushed her messy hair and got into the car without changing her face.
Still silent all the way.
In fact, Mu Xi really didn't want to speak, she looked at the street scene flying by outside the window, and her mind was flooded with all kinds of pictures that she had encountered last night.
But surprisingly calm.
When a person has experienced too many similar things, it can feel numb.
Scared, nauseous, crying...... These represent cowardly sentiments and will be less and less.
While rubbing the corners of her crumpled clothes, she considered whether she would have to prepare an extra self-defense facility in the future.
Which one can be bought, not too big, preferably disguised as a keychain......
Thinking about it, Mu Xi was completely immersed in his thoughts, so that when he arrived at the hotel apartment, who asked what, what was stuffed in his hand, and how he walked into the bathroom to turn on the shower, all had no impression.
What brought her back to her senses was the somewhat terrifying face reflected in the mirror.
The left side is fine, the right side is swollen and high, the tail of the eyes is blue and red, the corners of the mouth are broken, and it is still oozing blood, and the whole thing is miserable.
She actually had such a face on her head, and she shook it in front of Chi Shao until now.
Mu Xi was suddenly a little anxious, and hurriedly rummaged around, trying to find something to cover up and paint.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Have you washed it?"
She was startled, and the bottle in her hand fell to the ground.
Almost at the same time, the bathroom door was kicked open, and the slender figure strode closer.
Mu Xi said "ah", and subconsciously raised his hand to cover his face tightly, but when he touched the wound, he immediately bared his teeth in pain.
In a panic, she glanced at her glasses.
It's good, it's uglier.
Two minutes later, Mu Xi sat on the edge of the bed with his head down, letting his long half-wet hair hang down and swing on the sides of his cheeks.
The temperature in the room was turned up very high, and the heater was just blowing at her, so even if she was wearing only a thin set of pajamas, she didn't feel cold at all.
She pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the footsteps, wondering when the man would leave.
Generally, if you don't do business, the owner will not stay overnight.
They stayed up all night at the police station, and she looked like this again, it was impossible for Chi Shao to be interested at such a time......
Suddenly, his chin was pinched by two warm fingertips, and he lifted it up with an inescapable force.
Mu Xi's eyes widened slightly, and he saw a handsome face with an expressionless face, as well as ...... A cotton swab with a potion on it.
"Hiss......"
"Don't move." The strength of the fingers increases.
ββ¦β¦ Hurt. She protested quietly.
"Bear with me." The two cold words seemed to be full of impatience.
