In fact, Tang Muzhi was not asleep at the moment. She was not even sleepy at all. Her mind was filled with what Tang Hong said.
The thought of him coming tomorrow made her feel uneasy, uncomfortable, irritable and uneasy.
She stared at the floor with her big dark eyes, unblinking, as if she was thinking of some countermeasures.
Fortunately, after staying up until about two o'clock in the morning, she finally closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Although Jing Xiao had his eyes closed, he was not asleep, so he could clearly feel any disturbance of Tang Mu Zhi.
It wasn't until he heard her breathing become even that he opened his eyes again and glanced sideways at her, his eyes unreadable.
Early the next morning.
When Jing Xiao woke up, he was holding Tang Mu Zhi, who was sleeping soundly, in his arms, and the doll between them had fallen to the ground.
He didn't push her away, nor did he rush to get up. He just lowered his eyes and looked carefully at her beautiful and delicate face.
Her eyelashes were very long and curled, her nose was high, and her pink lips exuded a seductive and sinful smell. His throat felt dry and he even tightened his long arms.
Jing Xiao suddenly found that every time he faced her, he could not control the changes in his body.
Just as he closed his eyes and tried to calm down, the person in his arms seemed to wake up in a daze.
Tang Muzhi hadn't opened her eyes yet, and her consciousness wasn't fully awake yet.
She only felt that the doll in her arms was no longer soft, and the texture was not as furry as last night.
She stroked his chest with her palms and murmured softly, "Why isn't it furry anymore?"
Feeling the tingling sensation from her fingertips, Jing Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes darkening.
He felt that this little thing did it on purpose.
They had obviously agreed to sleep with each other across the doll, but in the middle of the night, she kicked the doll out of bed and even shrank into his arms.
Realizing that her hand hadn't stopped yet, Jing Xiao's breathing became heavier and he said in a low voice: "Zhizhi, if you touch it further, it will be really hairy."
Tang Mu Zhi, who was in a daze, did not hear his warning. Instead, she believed it and moved her hand down his chest.
Seeing this, Jing Xiao hurriedly took hold of her troubled little hand and squeezed it hard, "You really touched it down."
She groaned in pain and then woke up completely.
After opening his eyes and looking at the person close at hand, Tang Mu Zhi was so frightened that he couldn't recover for a long time, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
"You...I...why are you holding me?"
After she reacted, she jerked her hand away, pushed him away, and sat up from the bed.
Jing Xiao took a deep breath, his voice full of danger, and said word by word: "You are obviously the one who got into my arms, why are you relying on me in turn?"
"Impossible." She hurriedly denied it, swallowed her saliva, and murmured with a guilty conscience, "I obviously slept with a red panda in my arms last night."
Hearing this, Jing Xiao sneered, "Are you sure?"
She gritted her teeth, nodded vigorously, and replied firmly: "Of course I am."
"Sleeping with it in your arms?" As he spoke, he pointed to the floor, his eyes full of teasing.
Tang Muzhi followed his line of sight and looked behind him, her eyes suddenly widened, "It...how did it get there?"
"You ask me?" Jing Xiao's tone was a bit playful and mocking. He sat up from the bed and said with a smile, "Aren't you sure you slept with it in your arms? Don't you even know when to kick it down?" Know?"
Hearing what he said, Tang Muzhi was immediately ashamed, her face turned red, and she hesitated for a long time without holding back a word.
After a long time, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, picked up the doll from the ground, patted it and put it on the sofa nearby. She snorted stubbornly: "I definitely didn't kick it out of bed."
Just as Jing Xiao was about to retort, he saw her walking straight towards the bathroom, giving him no chance to speak.
He pursed his thin lips and couldn't help but chuckle.
After entering the bathroom, Tang Muzhi closed the door and locked it, lying on the sink, staring at herself in the mirror, wanting to cry without tears.
She really didn't know anything about what happened in her sleep last night.
She and Jing Xiao were actually hugging each other. What was this?
During breakfast, Tang Mu Zhi almost didn't dare to look at Jing Xiao, and kept her head down while eating silently. Only occasionally when her grandma asked a few questions, she would answer with a few words of hum.
Although it is still raining today, it is not as heavy as yesterday, and there are even signs of clearing up.
After the meal, grandma insisted that Jing Xiao take her to school and then go to the company to work.
Although she refused repeatedly, grandma insisted, and even Jing Xiao said that she would come along, so she had nothing to say.
It only takes three to five minutes to drive from home to school, but Tang Muzhi feels that these three to five minutes are the most difficult she has endured in a long time.
She always turned her head to the window, so she didn't notice the burning gaze someone cast on her from time to time.
There was no words all the way until he was almost at the school gate, when Jing Xiao said, "You have an exam tomorrow, so don't stay in school too long today."
Hearing this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she moved her lips for a long time, "I understand."
After parking the car on the side of the road, Jing Xiao couldn't help but suggest: "How about I come to pick you up at noon. In the afternoon, you can talk to grandma at home and treat it as a way to relax before the exam. OK?"
"No." Upon hearing this, she immediately refused without thinking.
At noon, Tang Hong said that he would come to find her. Even she could not predict how difficult he would be. If he knew that she was married, the consequences would be even more disastrous.
Therefore, she couldn't let Jing Xiao come over, let alone see him.
Seeing her refusal so simply, Jing Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at her with a half-smile, and asked casually, "Why?"
His voice brought Tang Mu Zhi back to her senses slightly. She turned her head to meet his dark and sharp black eyes, and explained lightly: "I just think it would be too troublesome for you to pick me up at noon. I will go back early in the afternoon to accompany you." Just grandma."
Jing Xiao's eyes were still staring at her, as if he was judging the truth or falsehood of what she said.
After a moment, he suddenly raised the corners of his lips and laughed softly, "Then I'll come over early in the afternoon. After all, it's still raining. If grandma knows that I let you go back alone, you will definitely scold me again."
After hearing his explanation, Tang Muzhi felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
That feeling couldn't be said to be unhappy. After all, she knew that the relationship between them was just a contract and a year of getting along.
However, she had clearly kept reminding herself in her heart not to cross the line, but when she heard Jing Xiao say over and over again that he had to do this to her in order to prevent grandma from scolding her and to complete the task given by grandma, she This makes me feel very uncomfortable.
She took a deep breath, her expression became serious and calm, and she said word by word: "Mr. Jing, actually you don't have to come to pick me up to complete grandma's mission. You don't have to cooperate in this drama anymore. You I’m not happy, and I’m not comfortable either, but don’t worry, I will explain it to grandma and won’t let her scold you.”
Jing Xiao realized that she had misunderstood him, and just as he was about to explain, he saw that she had already opened the car door and left with an umbrella.
Obviously he just said that because he didn't want to put pressure on her, but why did he misunderstand it instead?
Seeing Tang Mu Zhi's back walking with ease and determination, without even pausing for a moment, he felt inexplicably sour in his heart.
Just now, she actually started calling him Mr. Jing again. This title seemed as far away as thousands of miles away, and the relationship between them, which had finally eased, returned to the beginning again.
Seeing her back disappear from sight, Jing Xiao finally remembered to explain.
So, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to send a message to Tang Muzhi.
After all, if some words are not explained clearly, he may feel uncomfortable all day long. Moreover, he is worried that she will have random thoughts, in which case the misunderstanding between them will become deeper and deeper.
As the words were typed out, he hesitated again. He always felt that sending a message to explain at this moment was a bit darker.
Just when he was hesitating, someone suddenly knocked on the car window.
"elder brother?"
A muffled sound came from outside the window.
He followed the call and as expected, the person calling him was none other than Jinghe.
Although he was reluctant, he still lowered the window a little, looked at him coldly, and said nothing.
Jinghe didn't care, and immediately leaned towards the window and asked with a smile: "Brother, it's really you, your car... I thought I saw it wrong just now, why did you come to my school? Is there something wrong or something?" Are you looking for someone?"
"Passing by." He threw out these two words coldly, and then prepared to close the car window.
But Jinghe suddenly stretched out his hand and blocked the car window, "Wait a minute."
Looking at his hand that was almost caught, Jing Xiao glared at him with furrowed eyebrows, and yelled with anger, "Are you crazy?"
Jinghe, who was yelled at, pursed his lips in grievance, "I just want to ask, is grandma staying at your place recently? When will she go back?"
Seeing him acting coquettishly made Jing Xiao, who was already upset, immediately stop talking to him.
"You ask yourself." After saying that, he closed the car window directly, started the car and left.
Looking at the taillights of the car driving away, Jinghe touched the tip of his nose and turned around to leave.
On the other side, after Tang Muzhi met Yu Youxi, she felt sleepy, and her mind was filled with someone's shadow.
"What are you thinking about? Are you so absorbed in it?" Yu Youxi waved her hand in front of her eyes and teased, "Aren't you anxious before the exam? But with your results, you can take the exam with your eyes closed, so what's the point? Anxious?"
"No." She shook her head in denial.
What she was anxious about was never the exam, but her relationship with Jing Xiao. Although she had said such harsh words to him in the car in the morning, she suddenly started to worry now.
I don't know how to face him tonight, and I don't know how to sleep in the same room and bed with him.
