C1 (1/2)

It's dangerous for me to run into you, but it's fatal for me to run into you at that particular time.

Wilde

As night fell, the lights dimmed.

A man staggered out from the elevator in the upscale apartment area north of the city.

The man staggered into the bedroom and lay down on the bed without looking at her.

Unexpectedly, he hugged a warm body.

”Pure Heart, Pure Heart …” ”Did you come to see me?” The man was ecstatic.

When Xia Mu awoke from his stupor, it was as if he were floating on the surface of the sea. It was like he was floating on the surface of the sea.

As the man moved, that innocence grew further and further away from him …

”Pure Heart …” The man mumbled to himself, but he couldn't hear what he said clearly. Xia Mu's desperate struggles only resulted in a deeper shackle …

The night was so long, so long, so long that she couldn't see a shred of hope …

In the last moment before he lost consciousness, Xia Mu saw the cold and dazzling light of metal …

In the master bedroom at the end of the corridor, the person on the bed was sleeping soundly, completely forgetting about how he had used the guest bedroom to stay the night. Only, there are many times when fate would twist and turn when we couldn't even think of it.

By the time Xia Mu was completely awake, the weight on his body had already disappeared. Without much time to think, he picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on, trembling.

All his fear had disappeared at this moment. There was only one thought left in his mind:

Get out of here and everything will disappear, really!

And in his pocket, the chain connecting her to his fate was lying there quietly, witnessing everything that had just happened.

Next day

When Mozzie woke up in the morning, she looked drowsy. When she suddenly saw the people in the living room, she was shocked. ”When did you come back?” he asked as he went into the kitchen and poured a glass of water.

”Last night.” When he woke up in the morning, he felt that there was something strange about his body. Yesterday's dream was too realistic, to the point that when he woke up in the morning, he felt that he had fallen deeply into it. However, how could he have fallen asleep on the ground, and the bed sheets also disappeared without a trace!

”Hey, how long are you going to hide here?” Muzzlesi kicked the man's leg, motioning him to sit down.

The man moved to make room and said hesitantly, ”Yesterday, forget it.” His hand moved to his neck out of habit, only to discover that the chain hanging there had disappeared!

Mu Zexi glanced at her brother and decided to continue helping her family members. She cleared her throat and said, ”Dong Zi, Luo Xin is no longer here. You should understand.”

Mu Dong was an extremely handsome and outstanding man. His skin was darker than Mu Zexi's, and his hair was short and black. He looked very handsome. With his thin lips under his nose and a determined chin, he said in a calm voice, ”I'll go back and look around. I'll be back tomorrow.”

Mu Zexi embraced her younger brother's shoulders. ”That's more like it!”

After Mu Xiangdong walked away, the living room returned to its normal tranquility. Mu Zexi placed the cup back in the kitchen and remembered that he had brought back a person yesterday. However, why was there no one around now?

He scratched his hair and was about to go upstairs when his cell phone rang, and when he finished the call, he forgot about the incident with Xia Mu.

Half a month later, in A City, which was located a few hundred kilometers away from G City, Xia Mu was sitting in his room in a daze after disappearing for half a month. In a room separated by a wall, a benevolent old man was peacefully sleeping.

On the table in front of him, there was a handkerchief and a chain. On the lower right corner of the handkerchief, there was a word that was very easy to read. She could not imagine connecting the man of that night with the owner of the handkerchief. Nightmare, this dream, Xia Mu decided to forget about it! Forgot forever!

That person, that person was actually him! Xia Mu didn't know how he should face up to this, but how should he continue on his future path?

Spring.

In previous years, the peach blossoms had already bloomed and lost in April. However, this year's G City, spring had started a little late. On this April's day, the peach blossoms had bloomed in a very beautiful manner.

For the better part of the morning, Xia Mu was so busy that his feet didn't even touch the ground. Just as he was about to wash up the last bowl and wipe it clean with a cloth, his phone on the chopping board started squeaking.

The sound coming from this knockoff phone was really loud, causing Xia Mu's heart to tremble. The bowl in his hand almost fell to the ground.

”Baby mommy.” He didn't need to press the hands-free button at all. His phone was completely voiceless. Just as he pressed the answer button, he heard a woman's voice.

”Hello, Teacher Wang!” Xia Mu held his phone in one hand and a cloth in the other as he prepared to clean the breakfast table.

”Oh darling mommy, your family's Nannan hit her. Hurry up and come over!” Teacher Wang went straight to the point.

Xia Mu, who was bent over as he wiped the table, suddenly tensed up, ”Teacher Wang, are the children all right?”

”Come here first, we'll talk about it when you get here.” With that, he hung up without waiting for Xia Mu's reply.

Hearing the ”Du du” sound from the other side of the phone, Xia Mu straightened his body and quickly stuffed his phone into his pocket. He squatted down to pick up a small bag from the box and called out to the vendor: ”Aunty, Nannan has met with some troubles at the kindergarten. Help me keep watch over this stall.”

Next door was a noodle stall. The stall owner was a middle-aged couple. Hearing Xia Mu's words, the female stall owner didn't say anything and immediately responded, ”Ride your big brother's electric bike over there. Hurry!” As he spoke, he went to get the key.

Receiving the key, Xia Mu thanked her and hurriedly got on the electric bike, heading straight for the kindergarten.

”What are you looking at?” It was almost ten o'clock and there were only a few people left at the breakfast stand. Zhao Fugui wiped his hands, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it up and took a puff leisurely as he asked.

Zhang Xiulan retracted her gaze from the direction Xia Mu had left in, tidying up the dishes and chopsticks as she said, ”You know, Xia Mu is such a good girl, at such a young age, how can she have two children?”

Zhao Fugui slowly blew out a smoke ring, ”You, hurry up and clean up this area. Later, help me pack up the stall. Why are you wasting your breath!”

”Ai, I'm talking about you. Isn't it because I care about that girl? Look at what you're saying!” Zhang Xiulan quickly returned the bowls and chopsticks to the bucket, and then began to clean up Xia Mu's breakfast.

Zhao Fugui narrowed his eyes and looked up into the sky. It was April, and the flowers were in full bloom. The air was filled with a faint aroma.

”Head, do you think introducing our eldest nephew to Xia Mu would work?” Zhang Xiulan's voice drifted into his ears.

Zhao Fugui threw his cigarette butt at his feet and stomped it out, then said hoarsely, ”Your nephew, I was worried just looking at him. He even said that he would give Little Xia to him, so you should give up earlier!”

”Ah, so what if it's my nephew? He looks so good. He managed dozens of people on the construction site, so how could he not be compatible with Xia Mu? That girl was quite pretty, but she wasn't a beautiful girl after all. What could she possibly find if she dragged her two children? ”This person will have to stand on solid ground. What kind of stove and what kind of pot!”

Zhao Fugui arranged his tools and set them up on the tricycle. He was a little impatient to hear his family's aunt's words, ”Alright, hurry up, it's getting late. Be quick about it!”

Riding on an electric bike, Xia Mu hastily headed towards the Rainbow kindergarten. On his face, there was a look of anxiety.

It must be known that from a young age, Nannan has always had a strong personality. Xia Mu's grandma always said that Nannan should have a different personality from the baby. The baby was the younger brother and her personality was more like a girl's.

Grandmother, the thought of Grandmother made Xia Mu even more anxious. He had thought that he would be able to save up some money for his grandma. She was already over 80 years old and had not been in good health for the past few years. If it weren't for the matter of his two children attending school, Xia Mu would never have returned to G City.

Regarding this, Xia Mu consoled, ”When I grow up, I will be better.”

When the two children were born, the baby's physique was weaker. The doctor said that this child was born with a poor foundation, so he had to pay extra attention. After the full moon, no matter if it was weight or length, Nannan was better than the baby. And the baby is often sick, only after checking, found congenital heart disease.

The doctor's advice is to operate as soon as possible, but the cost of the operation, where did it come from? This delay lasted until the child was three years old.

What this city had left behind for Xia Mu was truly an unforgettable memory. The autumn five years ago was the worst autumn that Summer Melt could remember.

Many nights, when Xia Mu was unable to hold on, he would constantly make various assumptions in his mind. If she did not follow Shen Yan out on that day, she would not have encountered those things, much less meet that person.

If she didn't have a postgraduate exam, she would have found a job and brought her grandmother to her side. Perhaps, after working for two years, she would have a relationship, get married, have a child, and lead a bland but happy life.

However, these were all assumptions.

Yes, it was all hypothetical.

When she opened her eyes, she was still living in the small, shabby house. Every day, she would go running around for the child's milk powder money, struggle for the grandmother's medicine money, and was unwilling to buy herself a new set of clothes. However, she would do everything she could to send Nannan and her baby to kindergarten.

My dear Little Mo'er, Grandma can't bear to see you suffer so much!

This was what Grandmother said when she looked at Xia Mu, who was completely exhausted. She couldn't help but cry.

Xia Mu would wipe his granny's tears and say smilingly, ”It's not bitter at all. I have a granny, Nannan, and a baby. It's enough.”

Is it really not hard?

It was really bitter.

However, he still had to keep walking. He never dared to stop.
