It was dangerous for me to meet you, but it was fatal to me when I met you at that special time.
Wilde
At night, the lights were dim.
In the high-end apartment area in the north of the city, a man stumbled out of the elevator.
After a series of rustling sounds, the man staggered into the bedroom. Without looking at it, he directly lay down on the bed.
Unexpectedly, he hugged a warm body.
"Su Xin, Su Xin..." The man murmured, "Did you come to see me?" The man was ecstatic.
It was as if she were floating on the surface of the sea. By the time Xia Mo came to her senses, it was like a boat made of wood, and she felt a stabbing pain. It was clear to her that all of this was not a dream at all.
As the man moved, the innocence was getting farther and farther away from him...
"Su Xin..." The man muttered, but he couldn't hear what she said. Xia Mo struggled desperately, but only got deeper shackles...
The night was so long, so long that she couldn't see any hope...
At the last moment of unconsciousness, Xia Mo saw the light of metal, cold and dazzling...
In the master bedroom at the end of the corridor, the person on the bed fell asleep and completely forgot that he had borrowed a guest bedroom to go out. However, most of the time, fate would always have twists and turns when we didn't expect it. However, life still continued...
...
When Xia Mo was completely awake, the weight on her body had disappeared. Without thinking too much, she picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on, trembling. There was only one thought in her mind—to leave this horrible place!
At this moment, all the fear had disappeared, and there was only one thought left in his mind:
Leave this place, everything will disappear. It's true!
In her pocket, the chain that connected her and his fate was lying there peacefully, quietly witnessing what had just happened.
...
The next day.
When Mu Qian woke up in the morning, he was sleepy. When he saw the people in the living room, he was shocked and asked, "When did you come back?" He went to the kitchen and poured a glass of water.
"Last night." The man combed his crew cut and frowned. When he woke up in the morning, he didn't feel anything strange in his body. The dream yesterday was so real that when he woke up in the morning, he still felt trapped in it. However, how could he fall asleep on the ground, and the sheet flew away?
"Hey, how long are you going to hide here?" Murchu kicked the man's leg, indicating him to sit down.
The man moved a bit, leaving an empty space. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Yesterday, forget it." He habitually touched his neck, only to find that the chain hanging there was gone!
Mu Qian glanced at his brother and decided to help his family persuade him. He cleared his throat and said, "Dong, Su Xin is gone. You should understand."
Mu Dongdong, who was called Dongzi, was an extremely handsome and outstanding man. His skin color was slightly darker than that of Mu Qian. His short black hair made him look very heroic. Under his tall nose was a thin lips with a determined chin. He said in a steady voice, "I'll go home and have a look. I'll return to the team tomorrow."
Mu Qian put his arm around his brother's shoulder and said, "That's right!"
After Mu Dong left, the living room became quiet again. Mu Qian put the cup back in the kitchen, and then he remembered that he had brought someone back yesterday. However, why didn't he see anyone at this moment?
He scratched his hair and was about to go upstairs to have a look when his cell phone rang. After answering the phone, he forgot what had happened to Xia Mo.
...
Half a month later, in City A, which was hundreds of kilometers away from City G, Xia Mo, who had disappeared for more than half a month, was sitting in a daze in the room. In a room separated by a wall, a kind old man was sleeping quietly.
On the table in front of her, there was a handkerchief and a chain. On the lower right corner of the handkerchief, a character was embroidered with the word "flower". It was very easy to distinguish. Xia Mo looked at the character and felt cold all over. She couldn't imagine how to connect the man that night with the owner of this handkerchief. Nightmare, this dream, Xia Mo decided to forget it! Forget it forever!
"That person, that person is him!" Xia Mo did not know how to face it. "How should I go in the future?"
Spring.
In previous April, the peach blossoms had been defeated, but this year's G City was a little late in spring. At the beginning of April, the peach blossoms were in full bloom.
In the half of the morning, Xia Mo was so busy that her feet were not touching the ground. When she just washed the last bowl and plate and was about to pick up the rag to wipe it clean, the mobile phone on the chopping board started to ring.
The voice of this fake phone was really loud. Upon hearing it, Xia Mo was shocked and almost dropped the bowl in her hand.
"Mom Baby." There was no need to press the speaker button. The phone didn't respond at all. As soon as she pressed the answer button, she heard a woman's voice.
"Hello, Mr. Wang!" Xia Mo held the mobile phone in one hand and a rag in the other, ready to clean up the breakfast table.
"My baby's mother, your lover has beaten her up. Come here quickly!" Mr. Wang came straight to the point and said it directly.
Xia Mo, who was bending over and wiping the table, paused, and her voice became nervous. "Mr. Wang, is the child all right?"
"Come here first. Let's talk about it later." After that, before Xia Mo could answer, he hung up the phone.
Listening to the sound of the line being cut off, Xia Mo straightened up and quickly stuffed the phone into her pocket. She squatted down, grabbed a small bag from the box, and shouted to the stall next to her, "Auntie, something happened in the kindergarten. Please keep watch over this stall for me."
Next door was a breakfast stall selling noodles. The owner of the stall was a middle-aged couple. After hearing Xia Mo's words, the female vendor agreed without hesitation. "Go there on your big brother's car. Hurry up!" As she said this, she went to get the key.
Taking the key, Xia Mo thanked him. She got on the electric car in a panic and went straight to kindergarten.
"What are you looking at?" It was almost 10 o'clock, and there were not many people on the breakfast stand. Zhao Fugui wiped his hands, took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, took a leisurely drag, and asked.
Zhang Xiulan looked away from the direction where Xia Mo left. While picking up the bowls and chopsticks, she said, "Tell me, Xia Mo is such a good girl. How could she bring two children at such a young age?"
Zhao Fugui slowly blew out a smoke ring. "You, quickly tidy up this place. Later, help me pack up the stall. Don't talk so much nonsense!"
"Alas, I just care about the girl. Look at what you said!" Zhang Xiulan quickly put all the bowls and chopsticks into the bucket, and then began to pack the things on Xia Mo's breakfast stall.
Zhao Fugui narrowed his eyes and looked up at the sky. It was the season of the full bloom of a hundred flowers. There was even a faint fragrance in the air.
"Chief, do you think it's right to introduce our eldest nephew to Xia Mo?" Zhang Xiulan's voice came into his ear.
Zhao Fugui threw the cigarette butt under his feet and stepped it out. He said in a hoarse voice, "I'm worried about your nephew. He even said that he would give it to Summer. You should give up this idea as soon as possible!"
Hey, what's wrong with my nephew? He's decent. He's in charge of dozens of people on the construction site. How come he's not good enough for Xia Mo? That girl is handsome, but after all, she's not a virgin. What can she find with her two children? This person has to be down-to-earth. What kind of stove does she deserve?
Zhao Fugui tidied up the equipment and put it on the rack. He was a little impatient to listen to his mother-in-law saying these things. "All right, hurry up. It's getting late. Be quick!"
Riding on the car, Xia Mo hurried to the Seven-Colored Kindergarten, with an anxious look on his face.
It should be noted that Nannan had a fierce temper since childhood. Xia Mo's grandmother had always said that Nannan should change her character with the baby. As the younger brother, the baby's character was more like a girl's.
Granny, when she thought of Granny, the anxiety in Xia Mo's heart grew even more intense. Originally, she wanted to save some more money and she would be able to take Granny over. Granny was already over eighty years old and had been in poor health for the past few years. If it were not for the fact that the two children had gone to school, Xia Mo would not have returned to G City no matter what.
In this regard, Xia Mo comforted her that she would be fine when she grew up.
When the two babies were born, the baby's constitution was weaker. The doctor said that the baby was born with a poor foundation and needed to be particularly careful. After a month, both the baby's weight and body length were better than the baby's. And the baby often got sick. After a check, he found that the baby had heart disease.
The doctor suggested that the operation should be carried out as soon as possible, but where did the cost come from? The operation dragged on until the child was three years old.
What this city left for Xia Mo was really unbearable to recall. Five years ago, in autumn, it was the worst autumn in Xia Mo's memory.
Many nights, Xia Mo really couldn't take it anymore. She kept making all kinds of assumptions in her mind. If she hadn't followed Shen Yan out that day, she wouldn't have encountered those things, let alone that person.
She would go to college step by step and graduate smoothly. If she didn't get a master's degree, she would find a job and take her grandmother to her side. Maybe, she would have a relationship after two years of work. Then, she would get married and have a child. She would live a simple but happy life.
However, this was all a hypothesis.
Yes, it was all a hypothesis.
When she opened her eyes, she was still living in a shabby house. Every day, she had to run around for the kid's milk powder and struggle for her grandmother's medical fees. She was reluctant to buy a new dress for herself, but she had to do everything she could to send the baby and the baby to kindergarten. Every penny she spent was carefully calculated, but she was willing to buy all kinds of suitable nutrition products for her grandmother.
Little Mo'er, I can't bear to see you suffer like this!
This was what her grandmother said when she looked at Xia Mo, who was so tired that she could not help crying.
Xia Mo wiped her grandmother's tears and said with a smile, "It's not bitter at all. I have Grandma, Nannan, and Baby. That's enough."
Wasn't it really bitter?
It was really bitter.
However, he still wanted to go on. He had never dared to stop.
Xia Mo rode a electric car. The car was not new, and it was so dirty that no one could see its original appearance.
The Seven-Colored Kindergarten was 15 minutes' walk from the breakfast stall. It was not too far away. After passing through the path, Xia Mo directly turned into a main road.
After passing through this intersection, they could see the Seven-Colored Kindergarten. At that time, in order to enter this public kindergarten, Xia Mo had spent a lot of effort. It was not enough for her to go through all kinds of hardships.
"Brother, where are you?" When the phone rang, Mu Dong was about to pass the intersection. He glanced at it. It happened to be a green light. He slightly stepped on the accelerator, ready to pass through this intersection.
The phone was placed on the counter. Mu Dong pressed the speaker, and a girl's clear voice came from inside.
"Soon."
"Brother, let me tell you, you have to stay here for half an hour no matter what. If you don't want our mother to keep an eye on you, remember it!" At the other end of the phone, Mu Nianxi was worried.
"Got it," Mu Dong replied coldly. His face, wearing sunglasses, covered the man's dark eyes. His hair was very short, and there was no emotion on his face.
"Remember, the main purpose of your vacation this time is to complete the important task of marriage. Remember, you have to distinguish the main and secondary tasks."
What answered Mu Nianxi was the sound of the phone being hung up.
Mu Dong picked up the phone with one hand and pressed the red button directly. Just as he was about to throw the phone away, there was a "ding-dong" sound from the phone and a text message slipped in.
Mu Dong stepped on the brake lightly. The speed was a little slow. He lowered his head and was about to open the text message, but he did not notice a taxi coming out of an alley on the side!
It was Xia Mo who ran the red light. She wanted to grab it while there were still a few seconds of green light left, but she didn't notice the location of Mu Donglai's Wrangler. She just hit the left door of the car.
Xia Mo's driving skills were very ordinary. When she encountered such an emergency, not only did she forget to stop the car, but she also twisted the accelerator. The motorcycle was like a wild horse that had taken off its reins, rushing to the black Wrangler.
When Mu Dong looked up again, he saw a driver's car coming from the left. He slammed on the brake, and the car instantly turned off, making an ear-piercing screech.
The world was spinning. Xia Mo fell down from the car, and the car was on top of her.
"As a pair of strong big hands sounded, it was a man's cold voice. "Are you okay?"
That pair of hands pulled Xia Mo out of the car.
At the moment when the car accident happened, Xia Mo was so scared that she closed her eyes. At this moment, she suddenly heard the voice of a stranger. She still felt that she had not recovered, but she answered subconsciously, "It's okay, it's okay."
It was about 10 o'clock, and there was another intersection. It was time for people to come and go. After a while, there was already a crowd around the car. Some enthusiastic onlookers took out their mobile phones to take photos, some called the police, and most of them just wanted to watch the fun.
"Do you think this car is worth a lot of money?" The passerby asked.
"What do you know? Let's not talk about this car anymore. Just look at the license plate!" The passerby said in a tone of saying that he didn't understand.
"No way!" The passerby took a deep breath and asked in disbelief.
"Isn't that so? What is the most abundant thing in G City?"
What came into view was a mature man's face, with a well-defined outline. His eyes were covered by sunglasses, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. His thin lips were saying at this moment, "Do you need to be sent to the hospital?"
Hearing this voice, something appeared in Xia Mo's mind, but it was so fast that no one could catch it.
"No, I bumped into you, so I should be responsible. How much do you need? I'll pay you."
Mu Dong looked at the car. There were a few holes in the car door, and the paint had been spent, but it was not a big deal. Anyway, the car was not his own. Mr. Mu had a lot of money, so he asked him to fix it.
"It's nothing serious. You don't have to fix it."
"How can I do that? I hit her. I should be responsible for it." Xia Mo pulled the hair that floated to her cheek to the back of her head and said in a clear and beautiful voice.
The man wore sunglasses and looked at Xia Mo. This woman was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. She wore a blue coat, which was covered with an apron. There were some stains on the apron. She wore a pair of canvas shoes on her feet, and there were some marks on the tips of her shoes.
"There's no need. I'm an amateur. I'll take full responsibility."
Just as the two of them were about to take responsibility for each other, the traffic police came over.
After a simple inquiry, the traffic police punished him, and the onlookers also dispersed.
"Sir, I'm really sorry. Your car was hit by me. Why don't you give me a phone number to pay for the repair fee? I'll send it to you another day." Xia Mo stopped the man who was about to get in the car and leave.
In Mu Dongdong's opinion, from this girl's dressing, her condition should be very ordinary. It was good enough for an ordinary person not to blackmail others when faced with such a thing. Why was this girl still trying her best to get closer to him?
"No." Mu Dong said coldly, got in the car, and drove away.
Xia Mo looked at the car that was leaving and took a deep breath. This man exuded an imposing manner that prevented strangers from approaching him. It was a little hard to get close to him.
Xia Mo raised her hand to wipe away the sweat on her forehead. She bent down to help up the wound, only to find that there was a pain in her calf. Looking down, it turned out that when she just fell down, the wound was pressed down by the wound and her skin was broken.
Such a small injury was really nothing to Xia Mo.
Through the rearview mirror, Mu Dong could see the young girl. She helped the driver up and sat upright on the car, but there was no movement for a long time. Then she saw the driver lift the driver's car and started to fiddle with it.
She was just a little girl whom he had met once. Why did he feel inexplicably familiar with her?
He stepped on the brake and stopped the car on the side of the road. He opened the door and turned around.
"What's wrong?" Xia Mo was squatting and fiddling with the electric car when she heard a cold voice above her head.
"Uh?" Xia Mo raised her head in shock and looked into the man's eyes. At this moment, the pair of eyes hidden under the black sunglasses finally revealed. They were long and deep, and under their eyes was a tall and straight nose.
"The car, the car can't go." In the face of this man who was called a stranger, Xia Mo panicked for no reason and couldn't speak properly.
Mu Dong didn't say anything more. He turned the switch and tried it on. He said, "The battery is out of power."
"Uh?" Obviously, this conclusion was beyond Xia Mo's expectation.
"Sir, you really don't have to be so troublesome. The place I'm going to is very close to here. I'll just walk there." Xia Mo tried to persuade the man who was driving her to kindergarten until she got into the co-pilot seat.
"Where?" At this moment, Mu Dong, who had taken off his sunglasses, was still keeping a thousand miles away from others. His voice was low and gentle, and no one could tell how he was feeling.
"What?"
"Where are we going?" Mu Dong repeated.
"Colorful Kindergarten. Walking straight along this road, we will arrive at the intersection on the right." Xia Mo finished his words in one breath, and then the car fell into silence.
It was really a very close journey. In less than two or three minutes, it had arrived.
"Thank you, Sir." As soon as the car stopped, Xia Mo opened the door in a panic and was about to get out of the car.
Mu Dong nodded.
Xia Mo got out of the car and waved to the man sitting in the car. It was not until she saw the man drive away that she walked to the kindergarten.
"Brother, did you get lost? Or did you get lost? Do you want me to pick you up?" As soon as he left the kindergarten, Mu Nianxi called him again.
"The address."
Mu Nianxi rolled her eyes at the air. She knew that her brother Mu Dong couldn't see it at all, but she still wanted to do it.
"The coffee shop in the Central Square."
"Got it." With a slight turn of the steering wheel, Mu Dong walked toward his destination.
Mu Nianxi, who was hung up again, couldn't help rolling her eyes again. "This brother is so worrying!"
"Xiaosi, has your big brother arrived yet?"
"On the way, I just called and urged again. Mom, do you think we can succeed this time?" Mu Nianxi asked.
Jiang Lanying picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. "It's been so many years. I should have forgotten it. I should have forgotten it a long time ago."
"But, Mom, you know the character of my Brother Dongzi's son. Sister Su Xin has been gone for so long. If she could put it down, she would have let it go a long time ago," Mu Nianxi curled her lips and said.
"All three of you are like this. None of you can make me worry."
"Hey, mom, I suddenly remembered that I have an appointment. I'm leaving now!"
