Mu Zhiqiu

Chapter 24

Ziqiu returned to the attic dejectedly, looked at the dark night sky, sat alone under the dim light on the roof, absent-mindedly in a daze.

"Get ready to jump off the building!" Lin Muchuan appeared in front of her holding two ice creams.

"I won't let you go even if you're a ghost!" Ziqiu looked at him blankly.

"I'm timid! Don't scare me! Here!" He handed the ice cream to her.

"Don't eat!" Ziqiu turned his back on him.

"Just like you, you haven't even eaten ice cream!" Lin Muchuan smiled and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait, give me the ice cream!" Ziqiu took the ice cream from him.

"Let's make a bet to see who finishes the ice cream first!" Ziqiu said with a smile.

"Hey, okay! What if you lose? What if you win?" Lin Muchuan handed the ice cream to her.

"Well! If you lose, you will give me a month's worth of instant noodles!" Ziqiu sniggered in his heart.

"Then you lost?" Lin Muchuan smiled disdainfully.

"I! I will make instant noodles for you for free for a month!" Ziqiu said seriously.

"It's a deal!" Lin Muchuan looked at her calmly, wondering what tricks the little girl was hiding in her heart.

"Your, give it to me!" Ziqiu snatched the ice cream from Lin Muchuan's hand.Under his puzzled gaze, she quickly ran to the kitchen with the ice cream and sprinkled mustard powder on the chocolate crust.Then he came out again quickly, and walked in front of him with his hands behind his back.

"Open your mouth!" She squinted her eyes and looked at Lin Muchuan with a puzzled expression.

"Oh!" He felt that she must have done something bad and was waiting for him.But he still opened his mouth wide without hesitation.Xiao Mian, I was afraid that you would fail!

"Look at me!" Seeing his little thoughts, Ziqiu intentionally took the ice cream and ate it with big mouthfuls.

"Joke, I'm afraid of you! Even if you poison me to death, I'm willing!" He opened his mouth wide and bit down.

"Ah! Ah! His mouth is trembling! An unprecedented spicy taste erupts in his mouth.

"You! You!..." Lin Muchuan ran wildly, talking incoherently.

"You can't spit it out, you lose if you spit it out!" She leaned forward and back with a smile.

Lin Muchuan ran to the kitchen in a hurry, stood by the sink and washed with the faucet for a long time.And Ziqiu gloated and watched from the side.

"I really admire you, you are so eccentric, you can come up with any bad idea. Okay! Don't you just make instant noodles for a month! You can do it for a lifetime!" Lin Muchuan touched his red lips that were scorched by heat , said with a half-smile expression.

"Forever! I'm not a person who loves to give away petty gains. It will be enough in a month! Haha! Really. You are a good person!" Ziqiu smiled and took out a watermelon from the freezer of the refrigerator and cut it into small pieces to entertain him.

"My mouth isn't so swollen, right? You don't need to worry so much!" He sat on the chair and looked at the well-cut and small watermelon pieces brought by Ziqiu. He felt so warm in his heart. I feel sorry for me!Can't help laughing out loud.

"Why are you smirking? It's not the first time you've eaten watermelon!" She sat across from him and said while looking at his smirk.

"You... Strange!" He picked up a piece of watermelon from the plate and bit down on it.A icy cold feeling ran between the gums.Can't bite, dizzy!Why even the watermelon is frozen.He touched his face, trembling lips, trembling downstairs.

"What's the matter!" Ziqiu looked at his back and smiled wickedly.

The next day, when Ziqiu opened his eyes, it was already past four in the afternoon.She rubbed her eyes, yawned, and stretched comfortably on the bed.It feels so good to sleep and wake up naturally.

She suddenly remembered the problem of dressing for work tomorrow, and immediately became annoyed.Just go shopping and buy a skirt first.

When I opened the door, I saw several big bags at the door.

Ziqiu rubbed his eyes vigorously, and saw that it was indeed a few bags full of clothes.Ziqiu opened it curiously, it was so beautiful!Isn't this the dress I saw yesterday?

Here, is there a snail girl!No way!Ziqiu pinched his arm hard.It hurts!It's not a dream!

Still, is this for me?But I live alone on the roof!Her head was spinning rapidly.Finally her eyes caught a note, glued to the handle of the bag.

"I heard that you are short of clothes. I happen to have a few in stock at home. Wear them if you don't like them, and throw them away if you don't like them! Signature: Landlord!"

She looked at the scribbled words and was completely moved.

Charcoal in the snow!She picked up the bag and went downstairs to thank the landlord, but unfortunately no one opened the door.All right.Thank you!I will definitely work hard.When I get my first salary, I must thank you very much.

She went back to her attic and tried on every dress, always feeling weird.There are even two pairs of high heels, a pair of sandals and a pair of fish mouth shoes.However, how to wear it out!Bite the bullet, for the sake of work.

At this moment, Lin Muchuan, who was hiding at the stairs, secretly saw Ziqiu's happy smile.He was more excited than Ziqiu.

He admitted that he really cared about her and didn't want her to be wronged in the slightest.It was a feeling he had never felt before.In high school, I also dated a girl.Later the girl went abroad and he was abandoned.Although reluctant, it soon became flat.More than ten years have passed, and it has been a long time since I felt a heartbeat.I've never felt so sorry for someone before.

And now, he himself doesn't understand why he cares about her so much.If you don't see your heart every day, you will go crazy!

The next morning, she got up early and walked around the house in her skirt.It takes a long time to get used to the feet who put on high heels for the first time.Beauty is a painful price to pay.

Ziqiu put on her skirt and high heels, and timidly went downstairs holding on to the railing.But how to make a sound step by step, I can't get used to it.It's too high-profile, it must be light, light, she told herself in her heart.

She bent her waist and stood on tiptoe.The way she walked felt extremely awkward even to herself.The habit of female men walking with wind should be completely changed.

After going out, she looked up at the blue sky, her mood was so good.

Lin Muchuan downstairs has been lying beside the cat's eye and waiting for a long time.He pinched, waiting for Ziqiu to appear.The way Ziqiu walks with his back bent, almost made him laugh out loud!It's so funny, is it that exaggerated?He jumped excitedly at the door, and accidentally hit his head on the ceiling, it hurts!

When the incongruous sound of Ziqiu's heel clanging gradually faded away, he ran to the window and looked down.

"Oh! My God!" He saw that Ziqiu was walking with bare feet and shoes.

It must be that she is not used to wearing heels, as her feet will hurt very much.He hurriedly changed his clothes and went downstairs, got on his bicycle, and caught up with Ziqiu who was waiting for the bus on the platform.

"What a coincidence! Waiting for the car!" He parked the car beside her.

"Well! Instant noodles, one month. Don't forget!" Ziqiu reminded him with a smile.

"Well, remember!" He took the bag from her hand and put it in the frame of the car while she was not paying attention.

"What are you doing!" Ziqiu looked at him in surprise.

"Get in the car!" He said in a commanding tone.

"What are you doing! I have to go to work!" Ziqiu reached for the bag in the basket.But he was pulled into the back seat.

"Sit still." The unconcealable smile in the corner of his eyes revealed his careful thoughts.

"That's right, office workers like me also have special buses!" Ziqiu also gave herself a step down. If it weren't for the appearance of this bicycle, she might have to squeeze the bus barefoot.

There is a fragrant smell in the air, mixed with spicy noodles, Chaoshou, casserole rice noodles, and the strong aroma of the hot pot bottom material.

Ziqiu swallowed, looking from the passing traffic to the gray sky.It was very foggy today, and the sun hid in the thick fog and fell asleep.This is the characteristic of this city, otherwise why would it be called the fog city!The fairyland-like scenery in the distance and the gray sky are in one go, so beautiful!

"Here!" Lin Muchuan took out a bag of milk from the cart basket and handed it to her.

"Mine!" Ziqiu couldn't believe it.

"Ok!"

"I have already eaten!"

“Eat less spicy food in the morning!”

"Oh! Thank you!" There was such a subtle feeling sprouting in her heart, it felt so good to be taken care of.

She turned her face sideways, looking at Lin Muchuan's steady back.Simple gray shirt and jeans.In her heart, she vaguely wanted to find the shadow of the past.No, definitely not.He is Lin Muchuan, not Xu Yanmu.Two completely different people cannot be compared together.What's more, Lin Muchuan is just a new neighbor.What's more, how could his volatile temper be compared with the quiet Xu Yanmu!

I haven't ridden a bicycle for a long time.Except for Xu Yanmu, she had never had such close contact with a boy.Ziqiu smelled the faint sunshine on his body, and his tall figure blocked her front view.She closed her eyes, felt the wind whistling in her ears, and suddenly felt a long-lost sense of security.

"Get out of the car!" Lin Muchuan stopped downstairs, sat in the car and said coldly without looking back.

"How do you know that I work here?" Ziqiu looked at his back suspiciously.

"I can tell fortunes, do you believe it?" Lin Muchuan turned his face to look at Ziqiu who was full of doubts in a mysterious way.

"Ghosts believe it!" Ziqiu turned around and left, really bored.

"But thank you for your bicycle!" After walking a few steps, Ziqiu turned around and said.

"I'm not used to you being so polite to me all of a sudden." He opened his eyes exaggeratedly and looked at Ziqiu with a half-smile.

"Cut! If you are nice to you, you will fly!" She went upstairs without looking back.

Lin Muchuan looked at her disappearing figure reluctantly.It's just left, why does it feel like it's been a long time.Do you miss her that much?He also felt helpless about this feeling.It would be great if I could turn her into a small person and hold her in the palm of my hand every day.He laughed, having such a naive idea for himself.It's really poisonous.

By the way, I have to buy shoes for her.You can't even wear high heels well, you're stupid as hell.Lin Muchuan turned around and rode his bicycle to the shoe store, where he bought two pairs of flat-heeled shoes.

"Xia Ziqiu, you look so beautiful in a skirt!" The colleagues in the office were all complimenting her.

"Is there?" Could it be that her own vision is different from others'.She always thought it was weird to wear a skirt.Now the toes are still hurting badly, my fingers are connected to my heart!The pain is indescribable.Bear with it!But is it really worth it?I really want to never touch these shoes for the rest of my life!

"Xia Ziqiu, I have your things." A colleague brought a bag.

"Mine?" Ziqiu opened the box with some doubts, and it turned out to be two pairs of flat sandals.

"Ziqiu, your boyfriend is too considerate." The colleague looked at her enviously and said.

"Ah! I didn't!"

"I still don't admit it! I'm afraid we will pry it away for you!"

"Really do not have!"

"I just said, why are you dressed so beautifully today!" Colleagues laughed beside me.

Ziqiu hugged the shoes, avoiding the curious eyes of his colleagues.What a timely help!Ziqiu was about to shed tears, who was it?Who would be so kind to me!She picked up her shoes and hid in the bathroom, and sat on the toilet to take off the high heels on her feet.The entire toe was almost numb, excruciating pain.

She changed the shoes and put the high heels back into the box. This is my first pair of high heels, so I must keep them as a souvenir.

Could it be him?Lin Muchuan.No, he is such a bad person, how can he do such careful things.I still remember the last time I carried so many things upstairs, he just walked away without even asking a question, what kind of neighbor is he?All I know is to eat the meals she cooks for nothing.Really speechless, think of it and get angry.

But who is it?Is there anyone else who is secretly paying attention to her?I didn't even figure it out, and I was a little inexplicably confused.There's no reason it's him, but who could it be?All day long, I was in a trance, unable to figure it out, so stupid.
