Arbors intertwined

After leaving the coffee shop, Mu Zixin drove around aimlessly, Qiao Ran was more preoccupied than she thought, even though Jiang Min was by the side, Qiao Ran didn't confide in Jiang Min.

Before he knew it, the car arrived at Qiao Ran's dormitory again. Mu Zixin parked the car and sat inside like this.

Occasionally, a student would pass by and would take a look at the car when they saw it, but the windows of the car were all closed, and the inside of the car could not be seen from the outside, and no one noticed that there was a person sitting inside.

Time passed minute by minute, and when Qiao Ran came out of the dormitory, it was almost 04:30 in the afternoon.

When she saw Mu Zixin's car, Qiao Ran hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to turn around and go back.

But Mu Zixin has already opened the car door quickly, walked out and looked at her across the car: "Qiao Ran!" She shouted, before Qiao Ran turned around, so that Qiao Ran could "hear".

Qiao Ran could only stop, standing there watching Mu Zixin walking towards him, with anticipation in his eyes.

However, Qiao Ran had already made up her mind, she quietly looked at Mu Zixin without expressing anything.

After a few short steps, Mu Zixin's heart sank when he finished walking.

She could only grin and say, "Qiao Ran, let's have dinner together."

However, this time Qiao Ran didn't give an affirmative answer. She just shook her head and typed a line on her mobile phone, revealing a mechanical and emotionless message squarely.

[I still have something to do, I plan to buy it and pack it back. ]

Her attitude is crystal clear.

Mu Zixin didn't even need to make a formal confession, and doing so would only make Qiao Ran refuse further.

Mu Zixin just looked at that short line of words so carefully, as if this could change the appearance of that sentence.

With her hair hanging down, Qiao Ran silently watched Mu Zixin holding her phone and looking down silently, feeling vaguely uncomfortable in her heart.

Is she sad?

I don't know how long it has passed, someone came back from the outside, looked at the two people standing by the door suspiciously, and then left.

With so many sights like this, Qiao Ran wanted to leave.

At this moment, Mu Zixin finally raised her head and returned the phone to Qiao Ran. There was still a smile on her face, but the corners of her mouth drooped slightly, showing her reluctance.

"Is it important? I won't take up too much time. It's... the gallery's next arrangement." Mu Zixin didn't dare to gamble on this last chance, so she used the gallery as a shield.

With this reason, Qiao Ran finally nodded.

Mu Zixin opened the door of the passenger seat for Qiao Ran. While she was relieved, she was also frustrated by the fact that Qiao Ran made an excuse to meet her on business.

As for Qiao Ran, he couldn't explain why he finally nodded.

It was the cautious look in Mu Zixin's eyes, the smile she couldn't show perfectly no matter how hard she tried, or what she said about the gallery.

With their own concerns in mind, the two ate a meal in silence.

Facing such an atmosphere, Mu Zixin could only act like he was doing business.

Fortunately, the meal time can be regarded as a buffer for her, at least she has thought of temporary measures.

"Qiao Ran, there will be a series of promotions, and it may be busy. I will sort out the specific time for you tomorrow. In addition, I also hope that you can publish two or three more works. There is a requirement for this work, it must be a real-life picture , Of course, I will take you to collect the wind."

Qiao Ran has signed a contract, and he has to cooperate with some arrangements of the gallery.

So Qiao Ran didn't have much choice, even if she rejected a part, she had to do the rest according to Mu Zixin's arrangement.

Nod to show that you know, this is inevitable.

Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Mu Zixin was not as happy as before.

"Then... I'll take you back. You have a good rest. I'll pick you up in the gallery tomorrow morning to discuss." Mu Zixin stood up.

Qiao Ran stood up, didn't object but didn't respond either, acting as if she was doing things according to the arrangement, purely business-like.

Mu Zixin felt stuffy, but couldn't find an outlet to vent.

On the way back, it was as dull as the meal before.

It was obviously a silent situation, but the two of them seemed to have broken a certain connection, and there was no tacit understanding that could be had without speaking.

When they arrived at the place, Mu Zixin watched Qiao Ran get off the car, and told her to take a rest early, and carefully turned on the headlights to illuminate Qiao Ran's road, just like she did before.

However, no matter how hard Mu Zixin tried to contact Qiao Ran, but Qiao Ran closed her own world and refused to accept it, then no matter how much Mu Zixin worked hard, it would be in vain.

Days like this seem to be in a stalemate.

Jiang Min had found a house, and of course Qiao Ran came to help when she moved.But even Jiang Min couldn't see what Qiao Ran was thinking in his heart, and his attitude was exactly the same as before, making it impossible for Jiang Min to even ask.

As a sister, she can only care about Qiao Ran's current work.

Qiao Ran didn't hide anything, she said what kind of activities Mu Zixin took her to participate in, and also said that Mu Zixin had taken her to the suburbs to collect scenery, except for adding a little feeling of work report, there was nothing else.

Jiang Min herself was busy, and it was even more difficult to force Qiao Ran to talk to her, so she could only tell her to come to her if there was anything she needed.

Qiao Ran agreed with a smile, but every time she was alone, she became more silent.

She even put herself into painting completely, and never went to the small studio of the college again. She moved all the paintings back to the small studio in her dormitory.

The strong pigments that were not commonly used in the past were also found out, and the bright and strong colors were mixed. Qiao Ran almost integrated all of himself into the painting, so that he would not have time to think about what Mu Zixin insisted on every day. Meticulous and considerate.

Mu Zixin didn't know about it.

What she saw was that Qiao Ran had completely retreated to the Qiao Ran who nodded politely and briefly shook hands with Teacher Zhou when she first met him.

Qiao Ran solemnly thanked her every time she took care of her carefully, and the words she wanted to speak were also dumbfounded because of this.

Qiao Ran, does she care?Could it be that the previous good impression was just wishful thinking?

Mu Zixin even began to doubt herself.

Of course, the little girl's absent-mindedness was noticed by Mu Zixiao.

She wanted to have a long talk with Mu Zixin, but she was stuck on a position she could never decide on.

But fortunately, the day that he and Guozhen agreed to visit her home has arrived. With more and more understanding, Mu Zixiao thinks that her visit can make her finally make a decision.

After selectively buying some fruits, a set of specially selected skin care products and two bottles of good wine, Mu Zixiao arrived at Guozhen's residential area on time.

From a distance, I saw Guozhen waiting at the gate of the community, looking a little nervous.

Mu Zixiao drove the car there and lowered the window: "Guozhen, come up and show the way." She said to the stunned Guozhen.

Guozhen nodded, then sat in the passenger seat, pointed to the road calmly and asked Mu Zixiao to drive the car into the community, and found a parking space downstairs where her house lived.

It wasn't until Mu Zixiao came down that Guozhen realized that his boss had brought so many greeting gifts.

"Mr. Mu, why did you bring so many things? You are too polite!" Guozhen became even more uneasy.

This meal tonight felt very awkward no matter what. The mother in the family began to arrange all kinds of dishes early in the morning, and ordered the father to clean the inside and outside of the house.

Just to understand what happened when I came out of the closet, why did it seem like a distinguished guest came?

"If I came empty-handed, I'd be really sorry." Of course, Mu Zixiao wanted to be polite, but Guozhen repeatedly asked to bring the basket of fruit to Guozhen, and followed her upstairs, "Uncle and aunt know I'm here What are you doing, are you angry?"

Mu Zixiao was also worried that Guo's father and mother would think she was too presumptuous. Even if the parents accepted this kind of thing, they wouldn't be happy to discuss it, would they?

Hearing Mu Zixiao's question, Guozhen's hand reaching for the elevator buttons stopped immediately, and the roots of his ears gradually began to glow a little red.

Mu Zixiao knew countless people, and immediately understood the general possibility: "Guozhen, why did you tell uncle and aunt?"

Trembling and pressing the number 9, Guozhen didn't dare to look at Mu Zixiao, she finally knew the reason why her parents were so excited, but what should I say? !

"Mr. Mu, I just told them that you are coming to our house to see them..."

Yes, at that time, Guozhen didn't know how to tell his parents Mu Zong came to ask them how they felt when their daughter came out of the closet, but in the end he just said vaguely that Mu Zong would come to visit at home.

But now Guozhen is basically sure that his parents must be thinking wrong!

God, what should I tell Mr. Mu?Should I just tell her, I'm sorry Mr. Mu, my parents seem to regard you as their future daughter-in-law? !I dare not even think about it!

Guozhen was so entangled in her heart that she was about to die, but she didn't dare to reveal it on the surface. From Mu Zixiao's point of view, she was just staring blankly at the ever-increasing number of floors on the elevator.

This Guozhen seems a little strange today?

Mu Zixiao thought for a while, then nodded: "Alright, this matter is too presumptuous, it's better to let me bring it up, so that uncle and aunt won't be angry with you."

Guozhen even wants to die now, but she has the choice of saying or not. The elevator time on the ninth floor is not enough for her to make a decision.

So, until he knocked on the door of the house with the key in his pocket in order to procrastinate for time, Guozhen was still unable to tell Mu Zixiao of her mistakes and guesses.

Hearing dissatisfaction with Guozhen for forgetting to take the key and footsteps from inside the door, seeing the door finally opened, and the mother behind the door greeted him with a bright smile, Guozhen could only resign himself to his fate and pray that his parents would not let him go. It will be too straightforward to reveal the bottom directly.
