"Why are you so powerful, you found me all at once."
Pippi's current appearance seems to be deliberately lively, not the state of being by his side before going abroad.
During the meal, Zhou Muqing wanted to ask Pippi many times, but he held back.
After dinner, Pippi cleaned up the dishes, Zhou Muqing helped her put them away naturally, and even grabbed the job of cleaning the dishes.
"You just stand by the side and put it in the cupboard, and I'll wash it."
Since Zhou Muqing insisted, Pippi didn't say much.
In the past, it was a very good atmosphere to get along with, but Pippi didn't say anything during the process.
After washing the dishes, Zhou Muqing proposed to go downstairs for a walk. Pippi originally refused, but he insisted, so she went downstairs with him.
The moment he closed the door after going out, Pippi looked at Zhou Muqing seriously.
"No matter how many questions you have to ask me, can you not ask me?"
Seeing Pippi's worried look, Zhou Muqing felt very distressed, he missed that bully a little bit.
He shook Pippi's hand, "You think too much, I just want to take a walk with you."
Pippi smiled faintly, a little forced, but a little more natural than the smile at the dinner table just now.
...
There are quite a few people living in this western-style building, like a gathering place for grassroots people in the city.
Pippi and Zhou Muqing were walking downstairs, she was absent-minded and almost bumped into the book, he immediately grabbed her hand and held it tightly.
"Let me see the way for you."
Pippi smiled, she really felt a little joy at the moment.
In the past, she had hoped that Zhou Muqing could treat her like this, but now he really cared about her so much, it was like a dream.
Pippi pointed to the stone on the side of the road, "Shall we sit for a while?"
"Can."
Zhou Muqing and Pippi sat on the stone on the side of the road, she talked shallowly about her current feelings.
"I feel like I'm in a dream. You take my hand for a walk. This is a picture that would appear in dreams before."
She smiled and continued, "Then you will check me because you want to see me and care about me, do you care?"
"Um."
Zhou Muqing didn't deny it, although the answer was not obvious, but he really cared about it.
Pippi couldn't help leaning on Zhou Muqing's shoulder, "I think life is amazing, things you think are impossible will happen."
"So, something impossible happened."
Pippi's sigh was very light, but she was leaning on Zhou Muqing's body, he could feel it.
She thought for a few seconds, "For example, you came to see me, and you helped me wash the dishes, and took a walk with me."
In fact, what Pippi wanted to confide to Zhou Muqing was far more than that, but she couldn't continue talking, this was her own family's business, there was no need to trouble others.
She pretended to be relaxed and said, "No more, what else can there be?"
Zhou Muqing smiled happily, "If you say no, then there is no more."
But Zhou Muqing also decided that something must have happened to ask the secretary to check Pipi's house tomorrow morning.
Otherwise, she wouldn't stop reading, and there wouldn't be such a change.
That night Zhou Muqing slept in the mansion where Pippi and his mother lived, and when he woke up in the middle of the night, he heard the sound of a girl crying.
Zhou Muqing got up and left the room, followed the direction of the voice to the bathroom.
The light in the bathroom was on, and while there was the sound of water coming from inside, there was also the sound of a girl crying.
