When the taxi stopped in front of the community, it was already raining heavily, but fortunately the convenience store in front of the community was still open.

Lin Xi turned sideways and said to Chu Muqing who was holding the little guy in her arms: "I'm going to buy two umbrellas, please wait for me."

Chu Muqing turned her head and asked in surprise, "What?"

"It's raining too much outside, wait for me to buy an umbrella and come back." She apologized to the driver again: "Master, please wait a little longer, the rain is too heavy, I would like to give you more money for the delay."

The driver in the front row smiled and said loudly, "Go quickly."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to stop the meter.

Lin Xi smiled gratefully, opened the car door, and rushed into the hazy rain without looking back.

She moved swiftly, without giving Chu Muqing a chance to stop her.

When Lin Xi walked a few meters away, Chu Muqing still maintained the gesture of reaching out to stop her.

Looking at the fading figure of the person outside the car window, Chu Muqing frowned, this person...

She is obviously a girl herself, with a thin and fragile figure, and a slender waist that can hardly be grasped. Even if she is wearing a mature and expensive suit, anyone who sees her slightly immature face may think that Lin Xicai It is the one who needs to be protected more.

"Mom..." The sleeping daughter in her arms noticed something, and the little guy muttered, "Are you home?"

Chu Muqing waved away the complicated emotions in her heart, and replied: "En."

The little guy opened his eyes, with sleepiness still in his eyes.

"Are you there?" The little guy rubbed against her arms, grunted, and asked, "Where's Mama Lin?"

Chu Muqing replied to her in a gentle voice: "She is afraid that you will be ruined by the rain, so she went to buy you an umbrella."

"That's not it!" The little guy put it bluntly: "Mother Lin is worried that her mother and Chengcheng will be spoiled, so she didn't just buy it for Chengcheng."

Chu Muqing was slightly startled, then calmly lowered her head to look at her daughter: "Is that so?"

The little guy nodded: "Isn't it?"

Chu Muqing's face sank: "Chu Zhi, who taught you such words?"

"Ah?" The little guy was called by his name again, startled for a moment, then raised his head and asked her in a daze, "Mom, what did you say?"

Chu Muqing looked away lightly, and apologized, "It's nothing."

The child was simply stating the facts, but when her words were connected together, they sounded a bit inexplicably ambiguous to her ears.

But she thought too much...

After about 5 minutes, Lin Xi came back.

Holding an umbrella, she stood in front of the car door and waved for Chu Muqing to get out of the car.

Chu Muqing unbuckled her seat belt, opened the car door, and when she got out of the car with the little one in her arms, the floral umbrella above her head just covered them.

Lin Xi handed the umbrella to Chu Muqing: "You get the umbrella, and I'll hold the cub."

"No need." Chu Muqing's eyes stayed on her shirt that was wet by the rain, and she refused.

"No," Lin Xi insisted, "Besides, it's inconvenient for you to hold the cub in your shoe, so you can't fall with the cub, right?"

Chu Muqing couldn't resist her, so she had no choice but to accept the umbrella she handed over.

Lin Xi took the little guy at the same time, carefully wrapping his arms around her waist, keeping his elbows stuck in her armpits, for fear that the little guy would be uncomfortable being held.

Lin Xi remembered something, and motioned to Chu Muqing: "I have a mobile phone in my pocket, can you take it out for me to pay, there is no password."

"It's already been paid." Chu Muqing said lightly, "Let's go."

"Wait a minute." Lin Xi looked at her in embarrassment: "Chu Muqing..."

Chu Muqing raised her eyebrows: "Huh?"

"That..." Lin Xi blinked, then pointed to the big doll rabbit in the car, and looked at her apologetically: "Can you hold it?"

After a brief silence, Chu Muqing responded, "Yes."

Lin Xi was a little guilty. She still remembered the repulsion shown in her body language when the little guy put the big doll rabbit beside Chu Muqing in the restaurant.

I can't wait to be 800 meters away from that big rabbit...

The subtext seems to be saying——

Go away, you ugly stupid rabbit!

……

She doesn't seem to like such childish things very much, but the big rabbit she has worked so hard to exchange for with game coins, can't she just throw it away like this?

When Chu Muqing leaned down and came out holding the big rabbit in the car, Lin Xi thought it was funny no matter what he saw.

She suppressed the secret smile in her heart, and opened another umbrella in her hand: "Let's go?"

Chu Muqing responded, "En."

It was already very late, and the sound of pattering rain could be heard in the dimly lit neighborhood.

Chu Muqing took the initiative to ask, "Did you buy cigarettes today?"

Lin Xi was startled slightly, and tilted his head to look at her: "What?"

"Recently, you don't smell like smoke anymore." Chu Muqing looked straight ahead, and said quietly, "Why?" (Special reminder: Smoking is harmful to health)

Lin Xi frowned. It seemed that Chu Muqing also knew about his addiction to cigarettes.

There was a smile on her lips, and she replied lightly: "I don't smoke in the first place, there is no reason."

In fact, it was still difficult for her to control her addiction to cigarettes. When she went to buy an umbrella just now, she looked at the cigarettes behind the cash register, and the desire welling up in her throat was still uncontrollable.

In the past, she didn't understand why colleagues in the office would resist and resent their smoking, and they would still stick to the habit of smoking.

Now she understands that some bad habits are easy to pick up, but quitting requires self-control that is difficult for ordinary people to match.

She wouldn't say that to Chu Muqing for the sake of the child, and she wasn't the kind of character who wanted to let the whole world know that she had done something good.

Under the bright street lights, Chu Muqing saw Lin Xi's face clearly.

There was a bright light in her dark eyes, and her tone was full of sincerity, not like she was telling a lie.

Chu Muqing continued to test calmly, and her tone showed a little apology: "I'm sorry, because of Cheng Cheng's matter, you were delayed to see your brother today."

"Ah?" Lin Xi came to his senses, and quickly said, "It's okay, he's such an adult, it doesn't matter if he sees or not."

Chu Muqing asked her again: "How many younger brothers do you have?"

Lin Xi replied: "Two."

Inconsistent behavior and completely different rhetoric cannot achieve unity at all.

Lin Xi once smoked in the living room and threw cigarette butts all over the floor, but just now she kept saying that she didn't smoke.

The bottom of Chu Muqing's eyes dimmed, and the vague guess in her heart began to gradually become clear.

"Lin Xi..." Chu Muqing said lightly, "Perhaps, we need to talk."

Lin Xi was slightly taken aback.

why?

Which sentence did she say wrong just now?

Why did she transmigrate into the original body, but did not carry the memory of the original body, why.

According to the routines of those time travel novels she has read before, shouldn't it be completely carrying the memory of the book traveler?

And... this is obviously not a systematic novel, and she has to explore everything by herself.

"..."

After a brief silence, Chu Muqing whispered again: "Go home first, the rain is too heavy."

Lin Xi froze: "Okay."

Along the way, Chu Muqing kept silent, and Lin Xi just looked down at the road without saying a word.

When he got home, the little guy was so cold that he huddled in Lin Xi's arms, even if he entered the living room, he refused to come out.

Chu Muqing turned on the light, and the light dispelled the darkness instantly.

Lin Xi hugged the little guy, looked back at Chu Muqing in embarrassment and said, "Can I take her to take a bath first?"

Chu Muqing responded coldly: "Of course."

Lin Xi paused, this woman seemed to have the ability to change her face, at least she didn't have such a cold attitude when she was in the mall.

Lin Xi found her cartoon slippers for the little guy at the entrance, and carried her to the bathroom.

Chu Muqing walked towards the shoe cabinet in the entrance, turned sideways, and found another pair of slippers for her.

She called to Lin Xi who was about to arrive in the bathroom: "Wait."

Lin Xi turned around: "Huh?"

Chu Muqing walked up to her with the slippers, and said softly, "This is for you."

Lin Xi accepted it in surprise: "Is it for me? Oh...thank you."

Flattered.

Chu Muqing didn't look at her, frowned, and said, "I'll get Cheng Cheng's pajamas."

She said, without waiting for Lin Xi to speak, she turned and walked towards the bedroom.

When she came out, she brought out a nightgown at the same time.

It was a light blue nightdress with a silk texture, covered with cute cartoon pajamas for the little guy, and a brand new white bath towel.

Lin Xi took it belatedly: "Is this for me too?"

Chu Muqing replied lightly: "Well, it has been washed, and I haven't worn it yet."

"Ah..." Lin Xi blinked, "Thank you."

Again, flattered.

When she came back to her senses, Chu Muqing had already got up and walked away.

Chu Muqing picked up the briefcase on the table, went back to the bedroom and took out the laptop, and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

Lin Xi had already brought the little guy into the bathroom, and there was the patter of the shower, and at the same time, Cheng Cheng was saying something to Lin Xi in a cheerful tone.

She took out the recording pen, backed up the content of tonight's interview into the computer, and hung up the earphones.

Mrs. Guan's interview is very tight for "RICHES", and tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

After the computer was turned on, fortunately, the battery was sufficient, and it should be able to last until she started drafting.

When Lin Xi brought the little guy out of the bathroom, Chu Muqing was concentrating on working with the earphones on. Lin Xi was surprised that they, as reporters, could type so fast, and the crackling sound of the keyboard seemed to be louder than the sound of rain outside the window. dense.

Seeing that she was working, Lin Xi didn't want to disturb her, so he made a silent gesture to the little guy: "Shh, it's getting late, can you go to sleep well?"

The little guy also whispered, "Okay."

Lin Xi took her to the bedroom. She had never seen Chu Muqing's bedroom before. The interior decoration was simple and elegant, mainly black, white and gray, and the floor was clean and spotless.

Lin Xi spread the quilt for the little guy, and the little guy climbed onto the bed and lay down obediently.

Lin Xi leaned over and kissed her on the cheek: "Good night, Zai Zai."

The little guy giggled and shrank his neck: "Itchy..."

Lin Xi covered her with a quilt: "Go to sleep, Mama Lin has important things to do tomorrow."

The little guy looked at her with piercing eyes, and asked curiously, "What is it?"

Lin Xi's eyes darkened: "It's a secret, let's sleep well tonight."

After she finished speaking, she got up and walked out of the bedroom.

only……

Chu Muqing occupied the sofa that originally belonged to her...and her living room.

So where does she sleep tonight?

Lin Xi closed the bedroom door, came to the living room, and asked her casually, "When can you finish?"

Chu Muqing took off the earphones and looked up at Lin Xi.

Because of work, the lights in the living room were specially dimmed by her, too bright light would cause discomfort to her eyes.

Under the dim light, the person was wearing her light blue nightdress and no underwear. Her long, wet hair was casually scattered on her shoulders, with drops of water hanging from the ends of her hair.

Chu Muqing's eyes paused for a moment on her chest, but as if she had been burned by something, she immediately turned her head to look at the screen on the table.

"It won't end for a while." She suppressed her chaotic heartbeat and said calmly, "You can go and sleep with Cheng Cheng."

Lin Xi paused, then nodded, "Okay."

Lin Xi turned around, didn't take a few steps, and turned back to remind Chu Muqing: "There is no work to be done, and the body is the most important thing."

Chu Muqing's gaze still stayed on the computer screen: "Yes."

Lin Xi thought about it, got up and walked to the kitchen. She took a pot of water and pressed the heating button.

During this period, she had been waiting in the kitchen for the water to boil, not knowing that Chu Muqing was always looking in the direction of the kitchen.

After a while, Lin Xi came out with a mug and put it next to Chu Muqing's computer.

Chu Muqing said lightly, "Thank you."

Lin Xi paused, but still spoke: "When did you say you wanted to talk to me?"

Chu Muqing left her fingertips from the keyboard and looked up at her: "If you want, you can do it now."

"Chu Muqing."

Lin Xi gritted her teeth. The moment she lowered her head to look into Chu Muqing's cold eyes, she lost all momentum in an instant.

"I...I have something to confess to you..."

Chu Muqing paused for a moment with her fingertips, and asked her, "Huh?"

Lin Xi spoke slowly: "I actually..."

Chu Muqing's eyes stayed on her flushed face, waiting for her to speak the answer.

Lin Xi took a deep breath and continued, "I'm actually a Beta."

Chu Muqing was slightly startled: "It's just this?"

Lin Xi was also stunned: "What else?"

Chu Muqing frowned, and turned her gaze to the computer screen.

Below the search bar on the screen is impressively written—multiple personality patients generally fantasize that they will have a younger brother or younger sister.

Lin Xi reacted: "Ah...do you know everything?"

Chu Muqing replied, "Yes."

Lin Xi asked her: "When did you know? Why didn't you tell me..."

Chu Muqing looked down, and there was still a line of small characters on the screen.

——For a multiple personality patient, the personalities she possesses can only be triggered under certain conditions. Most of them are caused by some painful events in his childhood, which caused him to want to escape the pain, so other personalities began to share pain.

Chu Muqing looked at her, and replied quietly: "Then why did you tell me?"

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment: "Then... what do you want to talk to me tonight?"

Chu Muqing's gaze returned to the computer screen.

"Hey, hey, hey...Chu Muqing." Lin Xi whispered: "Why do you always look at the computer... You can talk about you now, if you are busy at work, then I won't bother you, good night .”

Does Chu Muqing mean to ignore her?

——Pay special attention to the fact that such patients generally hate being treated as a patient by others, and their emotions may be repeated. Any negative situation of sadness, sadness, and worry is very likely to trigger their second personality.

Chu Muqing raised her head, looked at her apologetically, and said softly, "Well, I'm sorry... go and rest."

Lin Xi: ...?
