After Jing Xiao got off the car, he naturally grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the elevator entrance.
"Jing Xiao." Tang Muzhi struggled to get rid of his hand, her face changed slightly, "Let go..."
"Go home." His tone was unquestionable, and he didn't let go because of her struggle, still holding her tightly.
Tang Muzhi was shocked by his tone. She didn't dare to say any more words and fell silent instantly.
After entering the elevator and pressing the floor number button, Jing Xiao let go of her hand.
At this moment, there was no one else in the elevator except the two of them, and the atmosphere became awkward for no reason.
But none of them spoke, they just stared at the ever-changing numbers.
Not long after, the elevator door opened, but Tang Muzhi had no intention of going out. He stood stubbornly and refused to move.
Jing Xiao glanced at her, frowned helplessly and said, "Your clothes are already wet. Go home. If you catch a cold again, you will fail the exam at the end of the semester."
Hearing this, Tang Mu Zhi reluctantly walked out.
But after getting out of the elevator, she stopped suddenly, looked at him aggrievedly, and whispered: "I really have something to buy."
"You go in and change clothes first, and I'll buy them for you." Jing Xiao narrowed his dark eyes slightly, and although his tone of voice was softer, he still looked like he couldn't refute.
"No." She refused hastily, for fear of causing trouble to him.
After all, he had been working all day today and had come to pick her up from get out of class. If she asked him to go shopping again, wouldn't it make her feel bad?
Jing Xiao stared at her for a moment, thinking that he had nothing to do with her, so he would find someone to control her.
So he took her wrist, walked to the door, opened the door, and pushed her directly into the house.
He looked at the two people sitting at the dining table and asked: "Grandma, Zhizhi's clothes are wet. You have to watch her and change them. Aunt Man, please make her a bowl of ginger tea to avoid catching another cold. I'm going out and I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he closed the door and left without giving the three people any time to react.
Tang Muzhi stood at the door and before she could react, a voice of extreme concern and worry came to her ears.
"Zhizhi, are you wet in the rain? What's going on? Didn't Ah Xiao go to pick you up? Why are you still wet in the rain?" Mrs. Jing asked, pulling her towards the bedroom.
Aunt Man was not idle either and hurried into the kitchen to make ginger tea for her.
Tang Muzhi was really speechless, but she had no time to argue with Jing Xiao and hurriedly comforted her worried grandma, otherwise he would be scolded again when he came back soon.
"Grandma, it's just that my clothes are wet. Don't worry."
"You kid, you haven't recovered from your cold. You don't know how to wear more clothes in today's crazy weather. Please change your wet clothes quickly." Mrs. Jing urged her and pushed her into the cloakroom.
Tang Muzhi responded softly, and then started to change clothes obediently.
When she came out, she was the only one left in the room.
Just when she was about to go out, she noticed on her phone that there was a WeChat message that Jing Xiao sent her a few minutes ago, asking her to send the things she wanted to buy.
Although Jing Xiao went downstairs and got into the car, he did not set off to the mall.
After he sent the message to Tang Muzhi, he called Shi Qian.
Then, he just stared at the phone screen and waited.
Suddenly, a picture appeared on the screen, which was a group picture of plush dolls.
Immediately afterwards, a sentence was sent.
[Just buy one nearby, anything similar will do. It doesn’t have to be too big, just the size of a pillow is enough. 】
"Going to the supermarket just to buy this?" Jing Xiao murmured, obviously in disbelief.
Co-author Tang Muzhi went to the supermarket regardless of the heavy rain outside, just to buy a plush doll?
What is this?
After a long time, he recovered from the shock and laughed angrily, "Just buy this?" 】
Tang Muzhi looked at the four words he sent and seemed to be able to imagine how he was scolding her at this moment.
She bothered people to buy stuffed animals on a rainy day. If she didn't get scolded, who would?
But she still typed hard and wrote a lot of explanations, but in the end she deleted them one by one and just sent an emoticon of "um huh".
Anyway, this thing is very important. He knew it when he bought it, but he can't explain it clearly now.
Jing Xiao looked at the emoticon she sent, and the corners of his lips raised a faint arc.
Although he was a little speechless, his little wife rarely asked him to do something, so he naturally couldn't refuse.
After finishing chatting with her, he sent the photo to Shi Qian, then told him to go to the mall, buy it and send it over, and he would wait for him in the garage.
When Shi Qian received the photo, he was stunned for several seconds. Although he didn't know why his master Jing suddenly wanted this thing, he went to get it immediately.
Tang Muzhi stood by the window, looking at the dark sky outside, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the glass, feeling a little guilty and uneasy, and even regretted letting him go out.
After a few seconds, she couldn't help but send a message.
[There are supermarkets and shops nearby. Don’t go too far. Be careful on the road and pay attention to safety. 】
Jing Xiao looked at these short sentences and raised his eyebrows.
He wanted to reply immediately that he understood, but then suddenly remembered that he should be on the way to the supermarket now, and it was not appropriate to reply to the message while driving, so he put down the phone.
Tang Muzhi, who didn't wait for his reply, didn't send any more messages.
After all, she really thought that Jing Xiao was driving in the heavy rain at the moment, and it would be dangerous if he replied to her message.
In the parking lot downstairs, Jing Xiao was sitting in the car waiting, feeling that the time was getting longer for some reason. He leaned back in his chair, and his mind was filled with Tang Mu Zhi's words about him just now.
He felt that somewhere in his heart, it seemed as if he had been hit by something and became soft.
About ten minutes later, Shi Qian called him and sent a few photos to his WeChat.
"Master Jing, there are many kinds of plush dolls here, which one do you want?"
Looking at those photos, he was a little undecided for a moment, "Wait a minute, I'll ask."
"Ask a question?" Shi Qian was still a bit unresponsive for a while.
"It's not me who wants to buy it, it's Zhizhi who wants to buy it." While talking to him, Jing Xiao sent the photos to Tang Muzhi and asked her which one she liked.
Now, he suddenly felt like a middleman, separated between buyers and sellers, which was inexplicably funny.
Tang Muzhi was dumbfounded as the messages on her mobile phone kept coming.
Jing Xiao actually sent her seven or eight pictures.
Each picture is a different plush doll, and the size, color and material are different.
Originally, she just wanted to buy a random doll and put it between them when sleeping at night. It could not only serve as a partition to separate the two of them, but she could also hold it warmly and feel safe.
After all, they would have to sleep in the same room for the next few days, and she couldn't really ask Jing Xiao to sleep on the sofa every night, so she came up with this method.
But she didn't expect that Jing Xiao would be so serious and even take photos one by one for her to choose.
After struggling for a while, she finally settled on the red panda doll. After all, she had a good eye for it.
Jing Xiao in the parking lot downstairs, after getting her reply, started to tell Shi Qian on the other end of the phone, "Go buy that red panda. Send it over after you buy it. I'm in the parking lot."
"okay."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Qian went to do some work.
While Jing Xiao was waiting for him to deliver the doll, Tang Mu Zhi upstairs was already sitting at the dining table, drinking the ginger tea that Aunt Man made for her.
"Zhizhi, drink more to keep out the cold." Mrs. Jing sat next to her, her tone full of distress, and her eyes were actually a little red.
In the past, she heard from her old best friend that Tang Mu Zhi suffered a lot as a child, so her physical condition was poor. She was particularly prone to colds from autumn to spring every year.
Therefore, seeing that she had been ill for the past two days, Mrs. Jing felt extremely apologetic. She always felt that she had failed to take good care of her and failed to fulfill her old best friend's instructions before she died.
Tang Mu Zhi obediently drank the entire bowl of ginger soup. When he put down the spoon, he noticed that grandma's eyes were red and her heart felt a little painful as if someone had pinched her.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" She reached out to hold her grandma's arm and asked worriedly.
Mrs. Jing sighed, raised her other hand, touched her face, and choked with sobs: "Zhizhi, grandma feels sorry for you when she sees you sick."
Hearing this, the tip of Tang Muzhi's nose felt sore, and tears began to well up in her eyes. At this moment, she felt the presence of her grandma again.
The words Mrs. Jing said when she cared about her and the worried look in her eyes were almost the same as what she remembered her grandma showing.
However, she knew very well that being almost the same did not mean they were exactly the same.
Mrs. Jing is Mrs. Jing, and her grandma is her grandma. They are two completely unrelated people.
But this period of time was just stolen by her selfishly and could only be regarded as a dream.
She lowered her eyes, suppressed the sadness rising in her heart, tried her best to squeeze out a smile, and said, "Grandma, don't worry, otherwise, I will blame myself."
Mrs. Jing sighed softly, held her hand tightly, and changed the subject, complaining: "Axiao doesn't know what happened. He's already at the door of the house, and he said he had to go out for something, and you're still wet. Even if it rains, he doesn’t know how to care.”
Hearing her start to scold Jing Xiao, Tang Muzhi hurriedly explained, "Grandma, don't blame him. I forgot to buy something, so he went out to buy it for me."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jing's eyes flashed with surprise.
It's really rare that her precious grandson is willing to go shopping.
It seemed that she was indeed right. That brat was interested in Zhizhi, but he didn't realize it yet.
After seeing her expression, Tang Muzhi quickly added, "Grandma, please stop scolding him for a while, okay?"
She was really afraid that her grandma would scold Jing Xiao. After all, what happened tonight had nothing to do with him.
