Chapter 7 Let’s make peace! Four
I looked at Xuan Yixin's serious and affectionate expression, my heart was filled with sweetness. I lowered my head and smiled slightly, my face flushed as fire. I had countless words to say in my heart, but I didn't know what to say.
Xuan Yixin reached out and held my hand. I didn't pull it back. We sat side by side, watching the monkey play. The sky gradually darkened. I just hoped that time would go slower. I finally understood what the novel meant by the peaceful days.
"Xiao Ya, it's getting late, and Monkey Baby needs to eat and rest. You should go home early too." Uncle Sun finally came out and took Monkey Baby away.
"Are you hungry? Let's go eat." Xuan Yixin took my hand and stood up.
I pulled my hand back sheepishly and nodded, but when I thought about walking hand in hand with him on campus, I didn't know what the consequences would be. And I always had a weird feeling in my heart. I couldn't explain why, but when I was with Xuan Yixin, I always felt uneasy for no reason.
"I suddenly want to eat fried chicken. Let's go eat fried chicken." I said, touching my stomach.
"Okay , sure." Xuan Yixin agreed without thinking, "I'll eat whatever you want."
I smiled sweetly, and I really felt like I was in love. Xuan Yixin took me to a famous Korean restaurant in the city to eat fried chicken. I prefer fried chicken with a mustard taste, so Xuan Yixin ordered all the mustard flavored ones. I know he can't eat mustard very well, but he was very happy to accompany me to eat.
"Xiaoya, there's sauce on your lips." Xuan Yixin picked up a tissue and helped me wipe the corners of my mouth. Her movements were natural and gentle.
My face turned red, and I lowered my head to eat the fried chicken more vigorously. Xuan Yixin's eating was much more elegant than mine. But most of the time he watched me eat, and I suddenly realized something was wrong while eating, so I frowned and looked at him and asked, "If you just watch me eat, won't I get fatter? No, you have to eat too!" I picked up a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.
"It's so frustrating. I really can't do anything about you. You're cute even if you're a little fat. If you don't mind me getting fat too, then let's eat together!" Xuan Yixin made a helpless expression, then smiled as he nibbled the chicken leg I stuffed into his mouth.
When I got home at night, I was still very excited. I missed Xuan Yixin a little after we had been apart for a while. When I thought of Xuan Yixin, I would smile unconsciously. Just when I was laughing so happily, the doorbell rang. I walked over to open the door with a sweet smile on my face.
"Xiaoya, why are you so happy?" It was Xiao Mu standing at the door. He looked at me puzzled and asked, "What's the good news?"
"Hehe, I won't tell you." I covered my mouth and laughed, "Why are you here?" Although I knew that Xiao Mu had been protecting me in secret after he came back, he never showed up on his own initiative.
Xiao Mu walked into the house quietly and stood very properly in the living room. He was not like Luo Yin at all. When Luo Yin came, it was like going home.
"Don't be so reserved. I'll feel uncomfortable." I sat on the sofa and looked up at him.
"I want to stay with you for a few days. The place Luo Yin arranged for me is too noisy." Xiao Mu lowered his head and answered seriously, "I can protect you better here."
"Oh, of course, you can just sleep in Luo Yin's room." I really agree with Xiao Mu's request. Who doesn't like to have a free servant?
"Well, I will be responsible for cleaning the house, cooking, and taking you to school." Xiao Mu said seriously with his hands behind his back.
"I know. Go check out Luo Yin's room and I'll get you new bedding and toiletries." I ran to the grocery room and dug out a brand new set of supplies.
Xiao Mu quickly ran over to catch it and said, "Xiao Ya, go and have a rest. I can handle it by myself."
"Well, okay, then do it yourself." I handed the things to him and went back to the room. Xiao Mu was not used to being helped by others.
I slept very well without any dreams. When I opened my eyes in the morning, the sun was already shining brightly. I got up with a smile on my face, opened the window, and breathed in the fresh air. Then a fragrance floated in. It was the smell of rice porridge. I quickly got myself ready and went to the living room.
"Xiao Ya, come and have breakfast." Xiao Mu was already dressed and sitting at the dining table waiting for me.
"Okay, it smells so good!" I sat down and held a bowl of rich porridge. It was obvious that it had been cooked for a long time. It was soft, sticky and sweet. It contained purple sweet potatoes, chestnuts, walnuts, raisins... I felt very full after eating a bowl.
After dinner, Xiao Mu insisted on sending me to school. We went downstairs together, he went to get the car, and I stood at the intersection waiting. I don't know if it's because of my good mood, I think the weather is particularly good today, and the scenery of the street is also particularly good.
"Xiao Ya, be careful!" Suddenly I heard Xiao Mu yell.
Before I could react, I saw a silver car rushing towards me. I stood there with my eyes wide open, my mind going blank.
"Xiao Ya, go!" Xiao Mu drove the car towards the sedan.
I came to my senses and started running towards home, taking out my phone and calling 110. Behind me was the sound of a series of car crashes. I ran home in one breath, locked the door tightly, and was covered in cold sweat. I continued to dial Luo Yin tremblingly, hiding at home, not daring to move.
I didn’t know how long it was before I heard the sound of the door opening. I looked up and saw it was Luo Yin. Tears suddenly welled up in my eyes and I rushed over and hugged Luo Yin.
"Xiaoya, don't be afraid, it's all over." Luo Yin hugged me, his voice was very steady.
"Where is Xiao Mu?" I asked trembling in Luo Yin's arms.
"The situation in the hospital is not optimistic. The police have already started investigating. Xiaoya, no matter who he is, I will not let him go." Luo Yin's voice trembled slightly.
"What? Xiao Mu is in the hospital, I want to go see Xiao Mu!" Xiao Mu was trying to protect me, but I just left him outside alone.
"Xiao Ya, I don't allow you to have any nonsense ideas. We exist to protect you. In the situation just now, it would be the most dangerous if you were at the scene. You can't help, do you know that?" Luo Yin held my arms tightly.
"Luo Yin, let's go to the hospital. I want to see Xiao Mu!" I said crying. At this moment, guilt filled my heart.
"Don't go anywhere, Xiaoya, stay home first. We don't know what the situation is right now. The old man already knows about it. We will not let go of anyone who hurts you and Xiao Mu. You must protect yourself."
I was guarded by more than a dozen bodyguards at home. I couldn't go anywhere and could only wait. The police also took protective measures against me because they knew I was a special person. I really couldn't think of who would want to kill me. Could it be those people in my family? My great grandfather was getting older and older. Could they finally be unable to wait?
"Xiao Ya..." When Luo Yin appeared again, he looked very decadent, as if he had aged a few years. "Xiao Ya, I have bad news. Xiao Mu..." Tears flashed in his eyes, but he tried hard to hold them back.
"What happened to Xiao Mu?" My heart skipped a beat, my body went limp, and I fell onto the sofa.
"He was badly injured and is gone." Luo Yin lowered his head.
"Xiao Mu..." I covered my mouth and burst into tears.
"Xiao Ya, Xiao Ya..." Luo Yin hugged me and finally couldn't hold back his tears.
That wooden man, the man who had always protected me, eventually died because of protecting me. For the first time, I felt the horror of reality. Someone actually wanted to kill me... I couldn't stop crying. Xiao Mu died because of me. What should I do to repay him... "Xiao Ya, this is his mission. Don't do this!" Luo Yin hugged me and said hard in my ear.
But even if it's a mission, even if he's a bodyguard, he's a living person, he did this to protect me... How can I just let it go like this!
My cell phone kept ringing. It was Xuan Yixin calling. I pressed the answer button tremblingly.
"Xiao Ya, how are you now? I am very worried about you, but there are too many security guards on your side and I can't enter the building. Please let me see you!" Xuan Yixin's voice was very impatient.
"Xuan Yixin... I'm not good, very bad..." I burst into tears.
