Arbors intertwined

Along the way, Mu Zixin hardly stopped.

She told Qiao Ran about some very individual merchants, some only sell things to those who are pleasing to the eye, some only accept barter, some give away things whenever they are in a good mood, and so on.

Unknowingly, the originally not-so-short trip came to the end. The Southwest No. [-] dormitory building of X College, there are two dormitories and one-person dormitories, which are provided for graduate students and doctoral students studying in X College.

The car drove to the empty room at the bottom of the dormitory, because it was almost ten o'clock, and there were not many people around.

Mu Zixin turned off the ignition, turned around and saw Qiao Ran unbuckled her seat belt, smiling and nodding towards herself, apparently to express her gratitude.

Seeing that she was about to open the car door and go down, Mu Zixin immediately grabbed her arm: "Qiao Ran, although I'm a little presumptuous, can you let me go up for a while?"

She knew that with Qiao Ran's character, she would not take the initiative to ask her to sit up, so she had already made preparations early in the morning.

[? ]

Qiao Ran turned her head, with obvious doubts in her eyes.It's not too early now, is it?And she never intended to entertain anyone in her cabin.

However, Mu Zixin also seemed a little embarrassed, pointing to a bag on the back seat: "It's really inconvenient to drive in this suit, I want to borrow yours to change clothes."

This reason was too good, Qiao Ran glanced at Mu Zixin's skirt that could almost cover her feet, pursed her lips, and finally nodded in agreement.

The plan came to fruition, Mu Zixin suppressed her smile so that Qiao Ran would not see the clue, quickly took the bag from the back seat and followed Qiao Ran into the dormitory building.

Passing through the somewhat dark corridor, the two walked up to the third floor. Mu Zixin followed Qiao Ran out of the stairs with great interest, walked to one side, and finally stopped in front of the door on the far side.

Taking the key and opening the door, Qiao Ran walked into the room and changed into slippers in the hallway. After hesitating for a moment, he took out another pair from the shoe cabinet and put it on the ground.

The shoes were red, the same style as the pair of light yellow slippers on Qiao Ran's feet, and they were not new shoes.Mu Zixin took this into consideration silently, then changed her shoes and closed the door.

At this time, Qiao Ran had already entered the house and turned the corner.

Mu Zixin followed immediately, and at the same time looked around, keeping the layout of the house in mind.

After all, it is a single dormitory, the space here is not big, but although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

Qiao Ran turned into the kitchen earlier, poured hot water from the kettle, poured some cold water into it, brought it out and handed it to Mu Zixin.

In this gap, Mu Zixin has already seen the entire kitchen. Although it is already old, it is very tidy. It can be seen that the owner pays attention to cleaning and tidying up all the time.

There is a pair of big rubber gloves beside the sink, the whitened color can be seen from frequent use.

However, what Mu Zixin cares most about is the glass of warm water that she is holding now.

The temperature of the water is ideal, neither hot nor cold, and it is very comfortable to drink to quench your thirst.

However, the water was filled with disposable paper cups, and Mu Zixin clearly saw two mugs upside down next to the cold water jug ​​in the kitchen!

Before the resentment in Mu Zixin's heart was over, Qiao Ran had already handed over a piece of paper.

[The bathroom is here, there is a hook behind the door, where clothes are usually hung, it is very clean. ]

Mu Zixin silently glanced at the closed door at the other end of the small living room, put the water glass on the table, and walked into the bathroom Qiao Ran pointed to with the bag in her hand.

After closing the door, Mu Zixin let out a bit of annoyed breath, hung the bag behind the door, and looked around.

Finally, the furnishings in the bathroom are not in pairs.Just outside, Mu Zixin keenly noticed that there were not only slippers and cups, but also two pairs of chopsticks in the chopstick bucket hanging on the wall, and two chairs beside the square table. It is estimated that the rice bowls in the cupboard were also in pairs.

Originally, judging from Qiao Ran's performance, Mu Zixin thought she would be the first guest in this dormitory.

Unfortunately, the facts hit her hard.A second person has already appeared here.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Zixin immediately thought of the text message that made her worry so much yesterday.Who the hell is that person?Could it be that Qiao Ran already has someone to date with?But in the small studio a few days ago, she never saw Qiao Ran communicate with anyone, it didn't look like someone in love.

In any case, there was only one person's towel and toothbrush in the bathroom, which partially dissipated Mu Zixin's restlessness.

She glanced at the toiletries Qiao Ran was using, then turned her head and took off the beautiful but inconvenient evening dress on her body, and put on light casual attire.

Opening the bathroom door, Mu Zixin asked herself to put on a smile, and walked out of the bathroom to find Qiao Ran, only to see her holding her phone with her head down, with that smile on her face again.

Mu Zixin suddenly wanted to find out who was on the other end of the phone.

In fact, she did as well.

"Phew, I feel much more comfortable after changing clothes." Mu Zixin walked up to Qiao Ran, saw that Qiao Ran noticed that she raised her head and sighed with a smile, then looked at her phone curiously, "Qiao Ran, who are you talking to?" What about the information?"

Qiao Ran was in a good mood, took the pen and paper from the table, and wrote down the answer.

[My sister. ]

Mu Zixin's mood immediately improved.

"Then she was your sister at dinner last night?" Mu Zixin walked to the chair on the other side of the table and sat down, picked up her glass of water and took a sip, as if drinking slowly.

Qiao Ran glanced at her hand, there was still half of the water in the glass, it was impossible to order to evict guests at this time, so she nodded to answer Mu Zixin's question.

"It's good to have a sister." Mu Zixin sighed, while paying attention to Qiao Ran's emotions.

Qiao Ran nodded again, as Mu Zixin thought, the relationship between the two should be good, but Mu Zixin didn't miss that the flash in her eyes was not purely happiness and longing.

It seems that there is something behind this that cannot be easily touched, Mu Zixin judged in his heart, and decided to accept it as soon as it was good.

Qiao Ran is like a hedgehog. At first glance, she looks small and weak, but she usually keeps a distance from people. She is afraid that if she gets too close, she will immediately erect her spikes.

The time they have known each other is too short, so take your time.

After drinking the glass of water, Mu Zixin stood up and said with a smile, "Qiao Ran, thank you for your hospitality. It's getting late, so I should go."

Qiao Ran immediately stood up, picked up a pen and quickly wrote a line, and said goodbye with a smile.

After leaving the dormitory, Mu Zixin sat in the driver's seat, feeling extremely relaxed.

Today's harvest was greater than expected. Not only did I know Qiao Ran's address, but I also went in and observed it. The furnishings in a person's home can more or less reflect the person's personality and living habits. Obviously, Qiao Ran behaved just like her. It's as simple and tidy as it is, and it's probably a bit of a clean freak.

According to friends, such people are usually stubborn.

While being happy that she accidentally discovered that the person on the other end of the phone was actually Qiao Ran's sister, Mu Zixin lit a candle to overcome the difficulty of the person she had chosen, and drove home.

As for Qiao Ran, after sending Mu Zixin away, she finally relaxed completely and returned to the relaxation in her own space.

The mobile phone on the table showed that there was a new message, Qiao Ran immediately clicked on it, looked at the words on the screen and smiled happily.

[How many days are you going to stay this time? ] She immediately sent a text message in the past, waiting for an answer.

Not long after, the phone vibrated again, and a new message appeared on the screen.

[I will stay for a few more days, and I will take my annual leave together. ]

The person who sent the message, signed: Jiang Min.

Qiao Ran looked even happier.

She stood up, and while replying to the text message, she walked to the bathroom, intending to wash off the makeup on her face.

However, when she turned around to close the door, she saw the bag hanging on the hook, and a corner of the golden dress hanging out of it, her smile froze there.

This... is Mu Zixin's evening dress, right?

Did she forget to take it away?
