"Grandma, isn't this good?" Tang Muzhi frowned in embarrassment, and was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"I feel so too……"
Jing Xiao opened his mouth at the right time, but was stopped before he finished speaking.
"Don't think so." Mrs. Jing frowned and glared at him, then looked at Tang Mu Zhi, a smile immediately appeared on her lips and said, "Zhi Zhi, it's rare for grandma to stay here once. Just listen to grandma."
"But...I..." She was so anxious that she couldn't even speak clearly. She couldn't help coughing, and her little face turned red from holding back.
Seeing this, Jing Xiao hurriedly reached out and patted her back, and then asked Aunt Man to pour a glass of warm water.
His eyes were dark and deep, as vast and far away as the night sky. They were filled with deep concern and worry, which made Tang Mu Zhi's heart tremble slightly and he was actually absent-minded for a moment.
Seeing their eyes meeting, Mrs. Jing said hurriedly: "Axiao, it's getting late. Please help Zhizhi back to the room to rest. I, an old woman, have to go back to the room to rest."
As soon as she finished speaking, she got up and went straight to Tang Muzhi's bedroom. As she left, she didn't forget to tell her towards the kitchen, "Xiaoman, you should go back to your room and rest early."
"I know, old lady." Aunt Man responded, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the old lady still knows how to play.
After hearing the sound of the door being closed, Tang Muzhi felt bad.
Although they all knew that grandma did it on purpose, they couldn't really get angry with this old lady.
"What should we do now?" Tang Muzhi lowered his eyes slightly, his long eyelashes covering the emotions under his eyes, and his tone was a bit dull.
Jing Xiao was also helpless, sighed and said, "Let's go back to the room first."
"Ah?" She raised her head in surprise and looked at his profile, "Your room?"
"Otherwise?" he asked, and then said, "If you can let grandma open the door for you, then go back to your room."
She bit her lip and said nothing. Grandma obviously did it on purpose tonight, so how could she open the door for her?
Seeing that she was still hesitating, Jing Xiao said nothing and walked towards his bedroom with steady steps.
There was no other way, Tang Muzhi had no choice but to follow, but when she reached the door, she stopped again and did not go in.
Jing Xiao knew what she was thinking and what she was worried about, so he pretended to be relaxed and said: "Are you planning to stand there all night? If you really want to stand at the door all night, I'm afraid grandma will chase you away." I stood in the cold wind downstairs all night."
Hearing this, she frowned, her little hands clenched the corners of her clothes uneasily, and looked at him with some embarrassment, "Why don't I..."
"It's very late." Jing Xiao interrupted her lightly, walked to the door, took her wrist, pulled her into the house, and then closed the door.
After entering the house, Tang Muzhi was still standing by the door, her little heart beating fast, as if it was about to pop out.
Seeing her extremely nervous look, Jing Xiao let go of her hand and whispered, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
Right now, she hasn't graduated from college yet, so we'll have to talk about many things later.
Although he said this, Tang Muzhi still felt confused. After all, Jing Xiao had been acting strangely these past two days, not the same as before.
"You can rest in my room tonight. I will go to the study later."
After hearing what he said, Tang Muzhi said worriedly: "Are you still going to work? You didn't even sleep last night. You should have a good rest tonight."
Jing Xiao crossed his arms across his chest, his posture a little lazy, and asked casually: "Do you want me to stay?"
Hearing this, Tang Muzhi's cheeks suddenly turned crimson, and she quickly denied it, "I didn't."
She didn't mean that. Why was this person talking nonsense?
Seeing that she was so shy, Jing Xiao couldn't help but chuckle twice and stopped teasing her, "Okay, hurry up and wash up and rest. You are just fine now. If it gets serious again, grandma won't be here tomorrow night." Will leave."
"Oh." She responded in a low voice, but never moved.
Therefore, the two of them were deadlocked.
Jing Xiao waited patiently for a while, then raised his handsome eyebrows and smiled softly, "I'll go to the study to make a phone call first."
Knowing that he was deliberately looking for an excuse to go out, Tang Muzhi just nodded in understanding and said nothing more.
"I'll ask Aunt Man to bring you pajamas in a while. You can go take a shower." When he arrived at the door, he warned again.
After saying that, he opened the door and went out.
When he was the only one left in the room, Tang Muzhi slumped his shoulders and let out a long sigh of relief.
After her tense body relaxed, she smelled a faint smell of mint, slowly entering her nose.
She moved little by little and looked at Jing Xiao's room. When she first moved here, she only glanced at it. After signing the agreement, she never set foot here again.
Only then did she notice that the decoration style here was cold and the layout was extremely simple. There were almost no ornaments in the room, making it feel cold.
The bed sheets were dark gray, with Jingxiao's scent lingering on them.
Tang Muzhi pursed her lips, turned around and entered the bathroom without looking or thinking any more.
When she started to wash up, Mrs. Jing in the next room was sitting by her bed, holding a photo frame in her hand.
It was what Tang Muzhi kept on her bedside. On it was a photo of her and her grandma.
"Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully Zhizhi." Mrs. Jing looked at the photo, her eyes gradually became hot, and her heart was filled with sourness. She choked with sobs and continued to mutter to herself. , "Tell me, you have worked hard for most of your life and finally enjoyed happiness, so why are you reluctant to leave."
After saying that, she picked up the photo frame, put the photo close to her chest, and slowly closed her eyes, as if recalling their beginnings.
If it hadn't been for a knock on the door, she would have been immersed in memories and unwilling to come back to her senses for a long time.
"Old Madam." Aunt Man's voice came from outside the door.
Hearing this, Mrs. Jing suddenly opened her eyes, wiped away the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes, calmed down her mood, and then asked, "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Jing asked me to get some pajamas for Zhizhi. Can you open the door?" Aunt Man answered honestly.
She remembered their instructions, so she changed her address to Jing Xiao from young master to sir.
"Oh." Mrs. Jing put down the photo frame and slowly stood up to open the door.
As soon as she opened the door, Aunt Man immediately looked embarrassed and called out respectfully, "Old Madam."
Before she could react, Jing Xiao walked out from the side.
"You bastard, you scared me." Mrs. Jing glared at him, then looked at Aunt Man aside and ordered, "Go and get some clothes for Zhizhi."
"Okay." Aunt Man responded and then entered the house.
Jing Xiao noticed grandma's red eyes and asked worriedly: "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Have you cried?"
"It's okay, I miss my old best friend." With that said, she turned around and entered the house.
Jing Xiao followed him in immediately, and without asking any more questions, he spoke about other things in a deep voice, "Grandma, I have no problem with you staying overnight, but your arrangement is really not good."
She didn't speak in a hurry, but looked at Aunt Man not far away and motioned for her to go out first.
Aunt Man nodded slightly, took a piece of Tang Mu Zhi's pajamas and went out, closing the door for them.
When only the two of them were left in the room, Mrs. Jing finally spoke and asked, "What's wrong with my arrangement? You are both married, so living together is a matter of course."
"We are married, but we haven't reached the point where we want to live together." He immediately retorted, then paused and said, "Grandma, you promised me that you would give me some time. Besides, now she still has No graduation.”
Mrs. Jing frowned and said unreasonably: "I just let you live in the same room, and I didn't ask you to do anything to her."
"Grandma..." Faced with her unreasonableness, Jing Xiao felt helpless.
"I still say the same thing, Zhizhi will never choose to have a flash marriage with you because of money." Mrs. Jing had a straight face and her tone was firm and arrogant.
Hearing this, Jing Xiao suddenly became silent. After spending this time together, he could see more or less.
Tang Muzhi had never cared about his money, or even him as a person. As she said, she just needed a reason to reassure her mother and a free place to live, that's all.
But even so, he still had concerns when facing this relationship and still needed some time.
Seeing that his attitude seemed to have changed, Mrs. Jing continued to persuade: "Axiao, I know you are a good boy, but so is Zhizhi. Since you have married her, just like a man, take the initiative. , develop a relationship with her, okay?"
Jing Xiao lowered his eyes, suppressing the sadness in his eyes, and after pondering for a while, he replied: "I'll try my best."
"I believe you can do it." Mrs. Jing smiled happily and patted his shoulder, "I can see that you don't care about Zhizhi."
"Grandma, I'm afraid you are really wrong about this." He denied it without thinking. "At her age, she is quite suitable to be my sister."
"Don't pretend to be confused because you understand." Mrs. Jing snorted and said nonchalantly, "Zhizhi is lively and cute, which is the most suitable for this cold iceberg like you."
"grandmother……"
"Okay, I'm sleepy and need to rest. You can go out." She waved her hand and impatiently issued an eviction order.
Seeing this, Jing Xiao had no choice but to exit the room. When he reached the door, he did not forget to mutter, "Your performance tonight was too obvious."
After he went out, Mrs. Jing raised her lips and smiled, saying disdainfully: "What do you know, you brat? You will thank me properly in the future."
After saying that, she looked at the photo on the bedside and murmured, "You must take good care of them, otherwise, the hard work of this old woman will be in vain."
In the photo, Grandma Tang smiled kindly and gently. She looked at it for a long time before looking back.
