In the afternoon.
Tang Muzhi finished class very early, but since it was approaching exam week, she did not go home after class, but went straight to the library.
There were no chaotic sounds like the outside world, only the rustle of the pen tip rubbing against the paper and the whispers of classmates talking.
Time passed by, and by the time Tang Muzhi left the library, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
When she was at the door, she looked at the person walking towards her, with a trace of surprise in her eyes, and asked, "Why are you here? Where is Yuzu? Didn't she say she would wait for me here?"
"Someone just called her and said her car was scratched, so she went over to take a look and asked me to wait for you here." Xiang Heng explained, and then gave her a bright smile.
"Oh." Tang Muzhi responded lightly, "Let's go then, let's go and have a look."
They were chatting while walking towards the school gate.
Xiang Heng was a very interesting person. Tang Muzhi was always amused by his words, and the smile on his face never disappeared for a long time.
"Where is Yuzi's car parked?" She looked around and asked.
"It's at the intersection ahead, let's go there." With that, Xiang Heng motioned for her to cross the road.
They walked to the opposite side of the road together without noticing that there was a car parked on the side of the road not far away, and the man in the car kept focusing on her.
Jing Xiao saw a man and a woman walking on the roadside. Although they were a bit far away and there were many people coming and going at the moment, he still recognized their figures.
Tang Muzhi's bright eyes, gentle smile, and heart-warming figure were all caught in his sight without reservation at this moment.
Originally, he wanted to apologize for what happened last night and came to pick her up, but unexpectedly, he saw this scene.
He seemed to have seen that man somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Jing Xiao's hand was holding the phone tightly. He wanted to call Tang Mu Zhi, but then he hesitated. As he watched them walking away, he felt as if his heart was being squeezed by something, making him feel uncomfortable and weak.
Suddenly, he suddenly remembered that the man was Xiang Heng!
His love rival!
In an instant, his face looked like a sky covered with dark clouds, gloomy and unpredictable, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
Why did Tang Muzhi come out of school with Xiang Heng?
Isn’t Xiang Heng not studying at Hainan University? So did he come here specifically to find her?
At this moment, endless doubts arose in Jing Xiao's heart, and an unknown fire began to spread in his heart.
As the car moved forward slowly, his eyes gradually moved away from the two of them, but the doubts and suffocation in his heart still existed. They were like an ocean of undercurrents, drowning him in darkness.
In the night, a brand new Ferrari was parked on the side of the road, and beside it, Yu Youxi was talking to the person who scratched her car.
"Youzi bought a new car again?" Tang Muzhi couldn't help but look at Xiang Heng beside him and asked.
"Yeah, I got scratched when I drove it for the first time today." Xiang Heng replied, glanced at her, and said with a smile, "I feel like she's going to be blown away."
Hearing this, Tang Muzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded in agreement, "Let's go and have a look."
After getting closer, she took a look at the car. There was a long scratch on the door.
"Yuzu, how's it going? Are you done talking?"
Hearing this, Yu Youxi looked at her and put away her strong look, "Well, that's almost it. Twilight, I can't go for supper with you anymore. Otherwise, you can ask Xiang Heng to take you back first. Let’s go eat again tomorrow.”
After hearing this, Tang Muzhi's deep eyes flashed with a hint of complexity, and she refused: "No, my home is close, I myself..."
"How can that be done?" Xiang Heng immediately cut off her words, paused, and then advised, "Sister Zhizhi, you are not safe as a girl this late at night."
"That's right, you let this brat give it to you." Yu Youxi didn't think much and echoed, "Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I have to wait for him to transfer the money."
"I……"
Tang Muzhi opened her lips and wanted to say something to refuse, but Xiang Heng beat her to it, "Sister Zhizhi, let's go then."
Seeing his expectant eyes, she finally had to compromise, "Yuzi, please pay attention to your own safety."
"Don't worry." Yu Youxi waved to her, watched them leave, and then took out her mobile phone to collect money.
They walked home together. Halfway through, Xiang Hengwen asked gently: "Sister Zhizhi, do you want a supper? I'll treat you to it."
Tang Muzhi smiled and shook his head slightly, "I'm not hungry, and it's very late now."
Hearing that she was refusing, Xiang Heng didn't force it.
He knew Tang Mu Zhi's character very well. If she refused, any further words he said would only arouse her resentment.
When they arrived at the gate of Yajiang Beiyuan, Tang Muzhi stopped to say goodbye to him and signaled that he didn't need to send her away. "I've already arrived at the gate. You'd better go back and see Yuzi quickly. I'm afraid she will suffer the loss alone."
Xiang Heng actually wanted to send her downstairs so that he could know which building she lived in, but since she was talking about it, he could only give up the idea.
In fact, if he really wanted to know which building Tang Muzhi lived in, he could just ask Yu Youxi, but in that case, they would probably both avoid him in the future.
As he turned to leave, Xiang Heng suddenly suggested in a relaxed manner: "Sister Zhizhi, after your final exam is over, I will treat you to dinner as a celebration."
Tang Muzhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded in agreement after a few seconds: "Okay, I'll invite Yuzi to join us then."
Hearing this, Xiang Heng pursed his lips, obviously a little disappointed, and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "Can't it be just the two of us?"
"How boring two people are." She replied nonchalantly.
He smiled and didn't answer.
Tang Muzhi waved goodbye to him and then entered the community.
It wasn't until her figure disappeared from sight that Xiang Heng turned around and left.
A few minutes later, Tang Muzhi went upstairs to the door of his house.
However, she pressed the password several times but couldn't get it right. She thought she had remembered it wrong, so she took out her phone again, looked at the memo, and pressed it again against the numbers on it, but it was still wrong.
"Is the lock broken?" She muttered in her mouth, then reached out and knocked on the door, but there was no movement in the room. It seemed that Jing Xiao hadn't come back yet.
There was no other way, Tang Muzhi could only send him a message, asking him when he would go home, and said that the lock seemed to be broken and he couldn't get in.
But after waiting for a long time, she didn't receive a reply. She wanted to call, but then she remembered that she was scolded for disturbing Jing Xiao's work last time, so she could only stand at the door and wait.
It was very cold in the corridor, and the cold wind blew from the window, making her shiver.
Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, she really couldn't stand the cold anymore. She weighed it in her mind and felt that it would be better to be scolded by him than to freeze to death at the door, so she called him.
The phone rang for a long time and no one answered it. She felt a little anxious and didn't know what to do for a while.
She looked down at her phone, thinking about her next move. A few seconds later, she reluctantly called again.
In the house, Jing Xiao was sitting on the sofa in the bedroom, watching the phone screen flashing, but he still had no intention of answering it.
He doesn't know what's wrong with him? I don’t know why I had to change my password after I got home?
Anyway, he felt uncomfortable when he saw Tang Muzhi and Xiang Heng together.
Jing Xiao guessed in his heart that Tang Muzhi must have felt that he would not get much benefit from him because of the agreement he signed last night, so he was eager to find the next target.
Could it be that she didn't care about the agreement last night just because she already had a new target?
The two of them are similar in age and talk about similar topics. Xiang Heng is sunny and cheerful. Maybe that kind of person is her type.
The phone kept ringing, but Jing Xiao pretended not to hear or see it. After a while, the person on the other end of the phone hung up on her own initiative, but a few seconds later, she called again.
After going back and forth several times, he reluctantly answered the phone.
"Mr. Jing, when are you going home?" Tang Muzhi's somewhat urgent voice came, with a hint of trembling in it.
"What's wrong?" He didn't answer, but asked coldly.
Hearing this, Tang Muzhi paused for a moment and said helplessly: "The lock on our door seems to be broken and I can't get in. Do you know if there is a locksmith company nearby?"
"The lock is not broken, I changed the password." He said calmly and without any secret.
His words made Tang Muzhi a little confused, and then he felt angry.
How could this person change his password so casually? And he didn’t even tell her that it was intentional or intentional to cause her to freeze here for so long?
"What's the new password?" She asked patiently, suppressing the anger in her heart.
"I don't really remember." Jing Xiao said calmly, and then deliberately added, "Didn't I tell you?"
Hearing this, Tang Muzhi felt that she was really going to curse. However, in order to avoid scolding him wrongly, she still checked through WeChat and made sure that he really did not send her a new password. Then she spoke again, "Mr. Jing , Your Excellency is busy with things, I’m afraid you forgot to send it to me, what should I do now? Can I find a locksmith? "
Jing Xiao was silent for a moment, with a hint of sarcasm in his cold tone, "I thought you wouldn't come back tonight."
Tang Muzhi heard the meaning of his words, and realized that this guy was always at home, but he just pretended not to hear her knock on the door.
It's really too much.
"Mr. Jing, since you are at home, can you open the door?" She clenched her fists tightly, as if at this moment, she no longer felt cold, she just felt like she was about to explode with anger.
Jing Xiao didn't speak, and they were silent for a while through the phone.
After a few minutes, the door was opened from the inside.
As soon as the door opened, Tang Muzhi stepped into the house. When he saw Jing Xiao turning around to go back to the room, he quickly called him, "Stop."
