Jing Xiao nodded and turned to leave.
However, just halfway through, his steps suddenly stopped again. He turned back to look at her and said in a deep voice: "Zhizhi, please try to face up to our relationship as husband and wife and try to rely on me for once, okay?"
Hearing this, Tang Muzhi couldn't help but clenched her hands, but she stubbornly didn't open her eyes or answer.
After waiting for a few seconds, Jing Xiao sighed, turned around and walked out of the ward, closing the door gently.
The room became quiet again, and Tang Muzhi felt as if warm liquid overflowed from the corners of her eyes. She stretched out her hand to pull up the quilt and buried her cheek in it.
On the bench outside the ward, Jing Xiao sat there quietly, his gaze fixed on a certain place without moving, as if he was deep in thought.
In the evening, Mrs. Jing called him and scolded him.
Because she already knew that Tang Hong came to the hospital again to trouble Tang Mu Zhi, so she said she would handle the matter personally.
Jing Xiao was naturally unwilling, but he couldn't object directly, so he could only say perfunctorily: "Grandma, in fact, this matter is almost done, so don't worry about it."
"You should stay with Zhizhi now and don't worry about other things."
Mrs. Jing's attitude was tough and she didn't seem to be negotiating with him at all, so Jing Xiao had no choice but to agree.
After hanging up the phone, he called Zhou Chengsi again and said that he would not be going back for the next two days and that the company's affairs would be left to him for the time being.
Although Zhou Chengsi kept complaining, he didn't dare to give up his job, so he reluctantly agreed.
Tang Muzhi stayed in the hospital for the next two days, during which time she heard that Tang Hong had been detained for causing trouble and intentionally injuring others.
She subconsciously thought it was Jing Xiao who did it, so she didn't go to verify it.
On the afternoon after she was discharged from the hospital and returned to her old house, Jing Xiao was planning to take her back to Haicheng. After all, she no longer had to worry about the matters between her old house and Tang Hong.
But for his proposal, Tang Muzhi did not agree immediately. Instead, he thought silently for a long time before slowly saying: "Why don't you go back first."
Her tone was calm, and there was not much emotion that could be heard, but there was a vague indifference that was repelling others.
"I've already found someone to handle the house matter for you, you don't have to worry." There was a hint of inquiry in his tone, and an inexplicable sadness surged in his heart.
Tang Muzhi shook his head, faced him, and said seriously: "It's not because of this, I just want to stay here for a few more days."
Hearing this, Jing Xiao narrowed his black eyes and looked at her for a few seconds, then opened his thin lips and said, "Okay, then I will stay with you for a few more days."
Upon hearing this, her face visibly stiffened a bit. She forced a smile and asked tentatively: "Is it really okay for you to take such a long leave?"
"No problem." He answered simply and neatly, as if he didn't think about it at all.
Tang Muzhi choked, nodded awkwardly, and said no more.
During dinner in the evening, they almost didn't say a word, and the whole table was quiet except for the sound of chewing food.
"Jing Xiao." The silent atmosphere was broken by her low call.
He raised his eyes to look at her and asked quietly, "What's wrong?"
Tang Muzhi swallowed, tried to calm down his panic, and said softly: "Thank you for this matter."
Jing Xiao was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that she was going to say this. He raised the corners of his mouth and looked at her with a half-smile, "Zhizhi, haven't you noticed that you are becoming more and more alienated from me?"
Obviously before they returned to Tanzhou and talked about everything, they had lived in the same room and slept in the same bed.
But in just a few days, the distance between them that had finally been narrowed had returned to the original point again, even farther than before.
Tang Muzhi became silent and lowered his head, neither denying nor admitting.
Seeing this, Jing Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud, and raised his hand to touch her drooping head, his eyes full of pampering and indulgence, "Okay, I know you need time to adapt, it's okay."
His words made the tip of Tang Mu Zhi's nose ache. Perhaps she was used to being strong alone. She always felt that she was not worthy of such love, so whenever he got closer, she would instinctively run away.
"You..." After a long time, she pursed her lips and whispered, "What do you like about me?"
"Ah?" Jing Xiao was stunned.
"I don't understand, what is there about me that deserves to be liked by others." She murmured with a wry smile, her eyes red.
Jing Xiao stared at her, gently held her shoulders, and replied with serious eyes: "Zhizhi, sometimes liking a person is not what you see with your eyes, but is slowly felt through your heart." the result of."
She didn't quite understand what he meant, so she blinked her big eyes twice and looked at him blankly.
Seeing this, Jing Xiao laughed and continued: "Actually, what I want to say is very simple, Zhizhi, my heart was touched by you intentionally or unintentionally, so I like you, from your appearance to your personality, from your everything. With every smile, I hear your every word."
His answer made Tang Mu Zhi's pupils shrink slightly, her eyes became even more sour, and even breathing became a little difficult.
Do you like her from her smile to her words?
What an answer!
It was obviously the simplest way to express her feelings, but it deeply touched her heartstrings.
In fact, she thought about a lot of things during the two days in the hospital.
Jing Xiao is a good man, he has good looks, good character, and a good family atmosphere. Such a man can indeed win the heart of a little girl easily.
Although she didn't want to admit that she was a little girl, she couldn't deny that she was attracted to him.
Especially, after she confessed everything, instead of thinking that she was a burden because of her family, Jing Xiao took the initiative to help her solve the trouble.
At that time, the softest place in her heart completely collapsed.
Obviously those things had nothing to do with him, but he did it so naturally, as if Jing Xiao was really trying to take on the responsibility of a man and a husband, protecting her under his wings and shielding her from the wind. rain.
"Actually...it's not that I don't like you." She bit her lip and said this with a trembling voice.
"Oh?" Jing Xiao's eyes lit up instantly, as if waiting for her to say the next thing.
Tang Muzhi raised her eyes, stared straight into his dark eyes, and said solemnly: "Jing Xiao, I don't know how I feel about you now, whether I like you or appreciate you, but I feel that I can be like you As I said before, try to face our relationship as husband and wife, and try to rely on you."
Although from the beginning, it was because of Grandma Jing that she got married to him by accident, but as they got along with each other during this period of time, she subconsciously began to regard Jing Xiao as her relative.
This may also be because her soul is too lonely and lacks a sense of security.
But no matter what the reason was, she wanted to try the feeling of being loved by others.
After hearing what she said, Jing Xiao's eyes flashed with joy, and he reached out to hold her slender hand, holding it tightly in his palm.
"Zhizhi, this moment is the happiest moment I have had in so many days." He locked her beautiful, clear eyes with burning eyes, and his voice was low and hoarse.
Tang Muzhi could clearly feel that his heartbeat was getting faster and his breathing was a little heavier.
After the two looked at each other for a long time, she took the lead to look away and pretended to be calm: "I...I've finished eating. I'm going to wash up first."
After saying that, she broke away from his hand, turned and walked towards the bedroom.
Jing Xiao looked at her hurried away figure and laughed softly, feeling very good.
After hiding in the bathroom, Tang Muzhi still had Jing Xiao's handsome face in her mind. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't drive those images out of her mind.
It wasn't until the hot water poured on her skin that she slowly calmed down the turbulent emotions in her heart.
When she quickly took a shower and went out, Jing Xiao was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking down at her phone.
"Are you going to stay here tonight?" she asked subconsciously.
But after saying this, she bit her lip in annoyance, feeling a little stupid.
Now that they have spoken out, Jing Xiao will definitely stay here tonight.
Jing Xiao put down his phone and looked sideways at her.
She was wearing furry pajamas, with the top buttons unbuttoned, revealing her delicate and beautiful collarbones, and her slender and straight legs, which were vaguely white and shiny.
His throat tightened inexplicably, his Adam's apple rolled twice, and there was a feeling of heat all over his body.
Realizing something was wrong with him, Jing Xiao quickly stood up, coughed to cover up, and asked, "Um... can I stay here tonight?"
"Yes." Tang Muzhi responded in a low voice without rejecting, "Then let me go and clean up the room for you."
After saying that, she walked to the second bedroom aside.
Xiang Heng had stayed there before when he came here, so it would be better for her to change the sheets and quilt.
But who knew that as soon as she entered the room, she heard footsteps behind her, and then, Jing Xiao's breath enveloped her.
"I don't want to sleep where other men have slept." There was a hint of jealousy and grievance in his low-alcohol voice, which made people's ears tingle.
Tang Muzhi sighed helplessly, turned back to meet his gaze, and discussed softly: "The other rooms haven't been cleaned yet. I'll change you to new sheets and quilts. Can you just stay for one night?"
Jing Xiao raised his eyebrows, obviously unwilling.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Tang Muzhi suggested again, "Otherwise, you sleep in my room and I sleep here."
"No." He narrowed his narrow, charming black eyes and refused directly.
This is the room where she sleeps? Doesn't that mean that she is allowed to sleep in a place where other men have slept? How can that be done?
Tang Muzhi felt a little embarrassed. It didn't work either this way or that way. Could it be that he still wanted to sleep with her?
After thinking about it, she couldn't help but blush on her cheeks. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she said, "Otherwise, you should stay in a hotel."
