Tang Muzhi was still a little confused at the moment, her head was buzzing and her whole heart was in a mess.
"Wouldn't you like to introduce me?" Jing Xiao naturally put his arm around her shoulders and asked softly in her ear with an ambiguous and hoarse voice.
Tang Muzhi turned her head to look at him, and when she touched his eyes with a slight smile, she felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.
What does he mean? Want to declare sovereignty?
When this thought came into her mind, she felt a chill down her back, pursed her lips, and said slowly: "This is Jing Xiao, they are my friends, Yu Youxi and Xiang Heng .”
Her introduction at this moment was as if the two of them were not familiar with each other at all.
Jing Xiao raised his eyebrows, obviously dissatisfied with what she said, but he didn't continue to dwell on the issue, "Why don't you eat first? I think the food on the table is getting cold."
"You guys eat slowly, I'm full." As he said that, Xiang Heng picked up the coat on the back of the chair and walked out, his steps hurried.
"Hey!" Yu Youxi called him urgently, but the guy didn't seem to hear him and walked faster and faster, "You guys eat first, I'll go out and take a look."
After that, she chased him out.
After they all left, the atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward. Tang Muzhi had many questions to ask, but she didn't know where to start.
Jing Xiao pulled up the chair beside him and sat down, raised his eyelids and looked at her, his tone revealing a bit of nonchalance, "Why don't you eat first."
Tang Muzhi tried to stay calm and asked, "How did you find this place?"
She would ask this question sooner or later, so it was better to find out now.
"It's not a big place here, so you can find it just by asking someone." He replied with a half-smile, looking calm and calm.
"Why did you come here?" She was still reluctant and looked at him stubbornly.
Jing Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and asked unhurriedly, "What do you think?"
Tang Muzhi's heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her eyes, trying to hide the surging emotions in her eyes, and tightened her hands slightly.
"Zhizhi..." His tone became serious, and he said, "Do you have anything to tell me? Did you come back early just to bring your friends here to play?"
She didn't speak immediately, she still lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Jing Xiao glanced at the door, then turned to look at her, and confessed: "Grandma didn't know you were back. It was your mother. She called me and said she was worried about you and asked me to come and take a look at this address. She gave it to me too.”
Hearing this, Tang Muzhi finally looked at him, her eyes full of surprise, her fists clenched tightly, her breathing getting faster, and her heart feeling like it was about to jump out.
"My mother...what did she tell you?"
After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but ask.
Since his mother called him, there must be a legitimate reason. Could it be that she had already told him about his father? If so, how much did it say?
These are the things she cares about most now.
"Are you worried that she said something to me that I can't say?" Jing Xiao asked directly without any hesitation.
Tang Mu Zhizhi stared at him with her eyebrows furrowed and swallowed nervously.
His words were like a heavy hammer hitting her chest, making her feel suffocated.
Jing Xiao looked at her nervous look and felt a trace of distress in his heart.
"She was worried that if you were here, you would think of every bit of life you had with grandma and feel uncomfortable, so she asked me to come over and take a look."
Although he had many things to ask, he couldn't speak at the moment. If she didn't say anything, then he would pretend not to know. It would be good for both of them.
Tang Muzhi's eyes became moist inexplicably. It was clear that there was nothing wrong with his explanation, but she still had some doubts.
"If you don't believe it, you can call and ask yourself." Jing Xiao saw through her mind and made a decision for her directly. Then he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of her.
Tang Muzhi glanced at him, pushed the phone back in front of him, pursed her lips, "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't believe you..."
"You just don't believe me." Jing Xiao cut off her words and his face darkened, "Otherwise, why didn't you just introduce me to your friend openly?"
She met his sharp gaze and was a little choked. For a moment, she didn't know how to refute.
Jing Xiao stood up, stared at her, smiled bitterly, and asked: "You have never thought about trying to accept our relationship, and you have never even kept what I said in your heart. Zhizhi, to you, am I really worse than an ordinary friend?"
Her pupils shrank suddenly, and she was a little surprised by his straightforwardness, and she retorted in a low voice, "I remember what you said before, and I am also doing what you said and trying to hide the relationship, right?"
Hearing this, Jing Xiao was stunned for a long time. This feeling of shooting himself in the foot was really as uncomfortable as it could be.
"Am I really getting older? So there is a generation gap between us."
After a long time, he asked this question with a particularly sad expression and a desolate tone.
Tang Muzhi didn't know why he suddenly said such things. He just followed his heart, shook his head and denied, "I never felt that you were older, nor did I feel that there was a generation gap between us."
"Then why do you always misunderstand me?" As he spoke, Jing Xiao took a step forward, approaching her a little closer.
His sudden approach made Tang Muzhi subconsciously take a step back, but because there was a chair behind her, her steps were blocked, so she was forced to stop.
"I didn't..." Just as she started to speak, Jing Xiao reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her in front of him forcefully.
Tang Muzhi's eyes widened, his whole body became extremely stiff, and he completely forgot to struggle.
"What don't you have? You don't distrust me? You don't hide things from me? Or do you have no intention of trying to get along with me?" He asked word by word, speaking very slowly, but every syllable that fell was like a knock. In Tang Mu Zhi's heart.
Facing his series of questioning, Tang Muzhi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, her eyes wandering, trying hard to avoid his burning gaze, "Stop asking."
These four simple words made Jing Xiao's so-called expectations and extravagant hopes come to nothing again, and he felt suffocated.
After all, his husband, who was protected by the law, was no match for the friends around her.
"Okay, I won't ask anymore." His voice was indifferent and calm, as if he had already guessed that she would refuse, but also seemed to be disappointed to the point of numbness, "When you are willing to talk, I will still be willing to listen."
After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the yard, his steps very heavy.
Tang Muzhi looked at his back, feeling mixed in her heart, but she finally chased after him.
When she was at the door, she stopped him and asked hurriedly: "Are you going back?"
Jing Xiao stared at her indifferently, his Adam's apple rolled twice, and he said with difficulty: "I'll find a place to live. I'll go back tomorrow. You...you can go back after you've had enough fun with your friends. Then, we'll go together. Look at grandpa."
His voice was hoarse and low, with a strong sense of depression.
Seeing his appearance, Tang Muzhi felt a little guilty. After a moment's hesitation, she suggested, "How about you stay here? There's still room in the house."
He was stunned for a few seconds, with complicated emotions flashing in his eyes. He shook his head and refused with some sourness, "You can leave it to your friends, and I won't disturb you anymore."
After that, he walked straight away without stopping.
Tang Mu Zhizhi opened her lips, but didn't call him again until she saw his back disappearing around the corner.
Shi Qian, who had been waiting around the corner, was really surprised to see his father come out so quickly.
"Master Jing." He shouted respectfully, with a confused look on his face.
Jing Xiao responded softly, glanced at him, and said lightly before getting in the car: "Go to the police station, I want to go and see for myself."
Hearing this, Shi Qian immediately understood what he meant, nodded and got into the car.
Now that Tang Hong is still there, he naturally wants to go there.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Youxi came back from outside with Xiang Heng. Both of them looked a little bad.
After entering the house, Xiang Heng went straight to the bedroom to pack his things.
"What's wrong?" Tang Muzhi asked worriedly.
Yu Youxi shrugged, feeling really speechless, and explained: "The child has a tantrum and needs to go back."
She had always felt that her brother was still young and had not grown up, so there would be no problem getting along with them.
However, when she learned that Xiang Heng liked Tang Mu Zhi, the kind of boy who likes girls, she suddenly realized that the little kid in her eyes who had not grown up was already an adult who knew about love. .
Tang Muzhi didn't quite understand, and the doubts in his heart became even worse, "Did something happen? Is he okay?"
"Just leave him alone and talk about you." Yu Youxi looked around and approached her gossipingly, "Where's that guy in your family? Why didn't you see him?"
When she asked this question, Tang Mu Zhi lowered his eyes in embarrassment and replied calmly: "He... went out."
"Oh." She nodded and entered the bedroom without asking any more questions.
Tang Muzhi followed her into the house. When he saw her packing her things, her expression became nervous, "What are you doing? Do you want to go back with him?"
"I'm not worried about him going back alone." Yu Youxi explained lightly and continued to pack her things.
Xiang Heng was in a bad mood right now. If she let him go back alone, she would really be unable to explain anything if something happened on the way.
After all, she was the one who brought this guy out.
Regarding her explanation, Tang Muzhi had no objection and did not hold back. He nodded and said, "That's fine, then you should be careful on the road."
"We're fine, we're just worried about you." Yu Youxi stopped cleaning up, looked sideways at her, and sighed, "Fortunately, Tang Hong has been taken away by the police now, so he probably won't trouble you for the time being. , but the people I brought will still stay here, and when you return to Haicheng, they will go back with you."
