Arbors intertwined

There is no doubt that Qiao Ran rejected the Mu family's car.

According to Mu Zixin's instructions, the driver drove the car to the villa again, and saw the second young lady not long after.

Under the light of the car lights, Mu Zixin's current appearance was really a bit embarrassed, which shocked the young driver severely.

Mu Zixin was not in the mood to care about the driver's expression, she just got into the car with a cold face, sat in the back and ordered: "Turn off the lights, turn around and follow Qiao Ran slowly."

"..." Adhering to the concept of completely obeying the orders of the second lady, the little driver obediently turned off the lights, and carefully turned around to follow Qiao Ran far away.

Fortunately, the street lights on this road are okay, and there are few people and cars, so there will be no major problems.

After walking for nearly an hour, Qiao Ran finally reached a slightly bustling street and stopped a taxi.

The little driver silently watched the taxi take Qiao Ran away, and secretly glanced at the second lady who could not see clearly in the back seat, and sighed in his heart that it was hard to guess what the second lady was thinking.

The two seemed to be having a quarrel, and the second lady followed along the way, but in the end she called a taxi to pick up Miss Qiao.

"Go back." Mu Zixin said suddenly.

The little driver was startled, but he reacted very quickly. He immediately nodded and turned on the headlights, and let go of his speed to drive to Mu's house. Today's task is finally almost over.

On the way, Mu Zixin received a text message. She opened the screen, raised her eyebrows and looked at Qiao Ran on the screen. Sending a text message at this time?Probably still in the taxi.

After thinking about it, Mu Zixin's already bad mood got worse.

Swipe open the screen, the words in the text message are exactly what she thought.

[I'm going to rest for a few days. ]

When Qiao Ran got into the taxi, she could still see Mu Zixin's glaring blood in front of her eyes, and there was always a lingering smell of blood in her mouth.So, she quickly sent this message, and now she doesn't want to see Mu Zixin at all, and she doesn't dare to see him.

Looking at this text message, Mu Zixin smiled with a piercing light in his eyes.

She replied quickly, with a tinge of cruelty in her smile, even if it made her lower lip sting again.

[Tomorrow is fine, but not in the next few days, Qiao Ran, you have to cooperate well, otherwise, who do you want to pay for the breach of contract amount. ]

Mu Zixin, who lost his calm and patience, pushed everything to the point where he could no longer retreat.

Qiao Ran continued to participate in the activities according to Mu Zixin's arrangement, or gathered around, but the atmosphere between the two of them was not even stagnant.

The obvious resistance made Mu Zixin even more irritable, and the irritable Mu Zixin used this method to forcefully control Qiao Ran.

Such a situation is both physical and psychological torture for both of them.

Mu Zixin got drunk more and more often, and Qiao Ran also looked extraordinarily tired.

In such a state, how could they hide it from their closest relatives.

"Of course, what's the matter with you recently, can you tell me if you have any problems?" Jiang Min is also busy recently, and finally found time to visit Qiao Ran, but found that Qiao Ran's complexion was really not good, and immediately felt anxious. to blame.

However, Qiao Ran just shook her head blindly and told her that she had a lot of work in the gallery recently, so she was just a little tired.

Seeing Qiao Ran like this, Jiang Min frowned and thought for a while: "Of course, if it's about Mu Zixin, no matter what you decide, my sister will help you."

However, in this current state, it is definitely not that she agreed to Mu Zixin's love period. After thinking about it, maybe that Mu Zixin did something to disturb her.

[It's okay, I'm only talking about business with her now. ] Qiao Ran replied.

Seeing Qiao Ran's calm expression and refusal to speak, Jiang Min couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

The urging phone rang again, and Jiang Min couldn't be absent from the dinner that was scheduled tonight, so she had to ask Qiao Ran to pay more attention to her health and leave first.

After Jiang Min left, Qiao Ran warmed up some of the food left over from yesterday, ate some casually, and went back to her studio.

Uncovering the cloth on the easel revealed a painting inside, which was an unfinished ginkgo grove in the setting sun, and she had nowhere to go in the end.

This painting has been in coloring for several days. Mu Zixin picked up the brush again, but he still couldn't get a satisfactory color.

For some reason, the bright and beautiful sunset in my memory is always too bright red, and I can't get rid of the residual beauty.

Before he knew it, Qiao Ran stared blankly again, the paint dripping from the brush in his hand looked like the tear mole in the corner of Mu Zixin's eye.

How could you think of this?

Qiao Ran was startled, and then startled by the vibrating mobile phone. The color palette in her hand was unsteadily turned down for a moment, and spilled on her trouser legs.

Qiao Ran looked down at the messy ground, then at the vibrating phone, with a complicated look on his face.

The name flashing on the screen was Mu Zixin. She was on the phone, obviously trying to get Qiao Ran's attention.

After vibrating for a while, it was about time to dial, and the phone went dark, but soon, it vibrated again.

Qiao Ran wanted to ignore this mobile phone. She could always do this easily before and fully devote herself to painting, but this time, the vibration of the mobile phone seemed to be magnified many times. Trembling slightly.

When the phone turned on for the third time, Qiao Ran finally took the phone and hung up.

In addition to the three missed call records, there was also a text message on the screen. The time was a few minutes ago. The phone's settings made Qiao Ran have to read the few words in it.

[I'm outside the door. ]

Qiao Ran looked at these four words and saw that the screen went dark, so she didn't dare to open the door.

However, the phone lit up again and vibrated in her hand.

[Qiao Ran, I'm outside the door. ]

This time it was a text message, which was almost exactly the same as the last one.

Qiao Ran's hands trembled, took a deep breath, and finally chose to open the door.

Perhaps, some things are better said directly.

She walked out of the studio and opened the door.

Almost the moment the door opened, Mu Zixin fell in, and Qiao Ran subconsciously reached out to catch her, saving her from falling to the ground.

"Qiao Ran..." Mu Zixin managed to stand still. The obvious smell of alcohol on her body made Qiao Ran frowned. "Qiao Ran." .

Seeing that she could basically stand still, Qiao Ran immediately put away the worry that had been accidentally leaked, let go of her hand and took two steps back to look at Mu Zixin.

The temperature of the sudden departure made Mu Zixin sober up a little.

Originally, she just let herself indulge in the effect of that little alcohol, and she was only slightly drunk, but she still didn't really lose the ability to control herself.

It's just that, in this situation, the emotions are somewhat magnified.

Mu Zixin looked straight at Qiao Ran, that gaze made Qiao Ran want to escape, but found that there was no chance to escape.

"Qiao Ran, I like you, you already know this, but I still want to tell you once." Mu Zixin's cheeks were slightly red from the alcohol, but he said this sentence very clearly .

It was so clear that Qiao Ran couldn't even understand it.

But Qiao Ran could only look at her without any response.

When she wanted to tell Mu Zixin that she didn't like her, Qiao Ran realized that she didn't want to say it.

For a while, she could only be silent, which is also the main way she said "no" since she was a child.

Mu Zixin smiled.

"Hehe, that's the attitude again." She looked at Qiao Ran, and no longer followed Qiao Ran's wishes as before, but took a step forward and asked, "Qiao Ran, do you really want to treat me like a stranger? I?!"

The Mu Zixin in front of her was just like the one outside the villa that night, which made her flustered, and she subconsciously took another step back.

Mu Zixin stopped in her tracks, and she looked at Qiao Ran quietly, her aggressive aura dissipated and turned into sadness all over her body.

"Qiao Ran, you are so cruel." She looked at Qiao Ran, and there was a trace of despair in her quiet words, "Why? You obviously like me too, why did you refuse?!" The voice turned into a howl.

The roar hit Qiao Ran, she shook her head helplessly, not daring to look at Mu Zixin's questioning again.

No, she didn't like Mu Zixin with that kind of affection, no!

Mu Zixin's figure suddenly flickered in front of her, and Qiao Ran looked up, only to find that Mu Zixin was holding a utility knife at some point in her hand, and Cheng Liang's blade was facing her own ear, with madness in her eyes, Seeing that, Qiao Ran was terrified.

"Qiao Ran, are you willing to accept me only if I'm disabled too!" Mu Zixin shouted.

"Slap!" Qiao Ran took a step forward, grabbed the utility knife and pulled it away forcefully, and slapped Mu Zixin hard with the other hand.

Her ears were a little dazed, and the burning pain on her cheek pulled Mu Zixin back from the brink of madness. She covered the other half of her face and looked at Qiao Ran dumbfounded: "You, you hit me?" No one hit her.

The utility knife fell to the ground, and the blood stained on the blade splashed away. Qiao Ran seemed not to notice that the hand he had always loved was bleeding, and pointed his index finger at the open door, his face was as cold as a knot. frost.

[roll! ] Qiao Ran's meaning is self-evident.

"Okay." Mu Zixin laughed at herself, with tears firmly in her eyes, "Okay!" She gritted her teeth, turned around and strode away, slamming the door heavily.

After more than half a minute, Qiao Ran lowered his hands, walked slowly to the door, and lowered his head against the door.

[sorry. ] She was thinking of this impossible sentence to Mu Zixin, and it seemed that a transparent liquid was mixed into the pool of blood dripping down the ground along her hand.

Outside the door, Mu Zixin did not leave.

Slamming the door almost exhausted all her strength, she leaned against the door, slipped down little by little, squatted on the ground, and covered her face with her hands.

With all the strength left in her, she was trying to make her voice disappear in her throat, and her shoulders kept trembling.
