Chapter 12

"Thank you Xiaoxi!"

Secretary Xiaowei happily drank the hot and fragrant coffee that Ming Xiaoxi brought her.

"Thank you Xiaoxi!"

The manager, Ms. Zheng, looked at the stack of neatly copied documents that Ming Xiaoxi handed her with satisfaction.

"Thank you Xiaoxi!"

Colleague Ah Nan handed Ming Xiaoxi a document that needed to be sent to the 23rd floor.

"Thank you Xiaoxi!"

My colleague Meixue took the hamburger that Ming Xiaoxi had just bought for her from an outside restaurant.

……

Ah, although it is a severe winter day, all the employees of the Planning Department of Dongshi Group feel the warmth of spring in their hearts.In the past few days, Ming Xiaoxi, a young migrant worker, has been caring for them and caring for them in every possible way.Every need and every idea of ​​them, as long as Ming Xiaoxi can do it for them, he will definitely help them realize it with the best quality at the first time.

They thought sadly, if one day, Ming Xiaoxi stopped working here, how would they survive?Therefore, they are going to make a strong suggestion to the personnel department to let Ming Xiaoxi officially become a member of them.It's best to sign a ten-year contract with her at once, so that she has no choice but to change jobs. (Of course, they'll get the best pay for her.)
Ming Xiaoxi knocked on the door of Yang Qianfeng's office.

"Come in."

She walked in gently and put a cup of milk tea on Yang Qianfeng's desk, "Miss Yang, your milk tea."

Yang Qianfeng looked up at her, "Thank you."

Ming Xiaoxi smiled, "You're welcome. Miss Yang, I put some chocolate in your milk tea today. I don't know if it suits your taste."

Yang Qianfeng took a sip, "Well, it's not bad, it's very fragrant! Xiaoxi, it's a pity to be a little girl with your skills."

Ming Xiaoxi smiled until her eyes rolled, "It's just as long as you like it. I've been wondering if Ms. Yang has been drinking milk tea, will she be a bit tired. If you want to change to a different drink, please tell me."

She bowed, "If you have nothing to do, I'll go out first."

"Wait a minute." Yang Qianfeng called to stop her, "I found that those people outside are very relaxed recently, and you have done many of their things?"

"Hey, I did a little favor."

"Including typing files for them?"

"Hey, my typing speed is the fastest in the planning department, so I should help."

"Including paying phone bills, utility bills for them?"

"Hey, exercise your muscles and bones."

"Including going to Xiaowei's house after get off work to help her cook, wash and take care of the children?"

Ming Xiaoxi blinked, "You even know this? You are amazing."

Yang Qianfeng frowned, "Ming Xiaoxi, what are you doing? Do you want to exhaust yourself to death?"

Ming Xiaoxi smiled embarrassingly, "It's nothing, I found that helping others has infinite fun, it seems that the value of my own life has also been gained..."

Yang Qianfeng interrupted her impatiently, "Are you free?"

"Yeah, I'm so busy, that's why I..."

"Okay then," Yang Qianfeng interrupted her again, "Mama Dong asked you to go home for dinner today."

Ming Xiaoxi shrank her neck, "No, I promised Miss Xiaowei to go to her house at night."

Yang Qianfeng pressed the phone on the desk, "Xiaowei? Ming Xiaoxi has something to do tonight, so I won't go to your house."

Ming Xiaoxi's mouth was wide open, "You... how could you..."

Yang Qianfeng stood up and put on his coat, "It's almost time, you can go with me."

Ming Xiaoxi retreated to the corner, "I...I won't go..."

Yang Qianfeng grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the office.

Holding up the chopsticks and looking at the plate full of food, Ming Xiaoxi felt as if he had passed away.How long ago had she spent Christmas Eve here?How happy and lively it was at that time, even if there were some troubles, it seemed that they could be easily resolved.How long has it been?Why does everything seem so difficult now, so irrevocable, as if no matter how hard you try, it's just a useless struggle?
"Xiaoxi, eat more, you seem to have lost a lot of weight recently." A fat chicken leg was placed on her plate again, and Dong Shuiyue looked at her worriedly.

Dong Haoxue also hurriedly interrupted, "Yes, sister Ming, you have really lost weight! Your chin has become pointy."

Ming Xiaoxi smiled, "It seems that my weight loss has achieved remarkable results. Am I much more beautiful?"

"Not at all." Dong Haonan looked up at her and said in a muffled voice.

"Senior Dong, what kind of eyes are you looking at..." Ming Xiaoxi looked at Feng Jianche with a light smile, "Senior Che, do you think you are still thinner and prettier?"

Feng Jianche stared at her, "As long as you feel happy, it's fine."

Ming Xiaoxi bit her lip suddenly and lowered her eyes.

Dong Shuiyue sighed, "We've all heard about the Mu family... Xiaoxi, Liu Bing's father passed away, why didn't you inform us?"

"Because... um... um..." Ming Xiaoxi bit her lips even tighter.

"Huh?!" Dong Haoxue opened his eyes wide, "Uncle Mu is gone, so brother Mu is the new successor of Lie Yan Tang?"

"Yes," Dong Haonan stared straight at Ming Xiaoxi, "It has been reported on TV and newspapers that Mu Liubing has officially succeeded the Mu family's business."

"Wow! Brother Mu is amazing!" Dong Haoxue exclaimed.

"Haoxue! Don't talk anymore." Dong Shuiyue looked at Ming Xiaoxi, who was poking around on the plate with a pair of chopsticks, messing up the food inside, "Xiaoxi, what are you doing here?" What are you doing?"

Ming Xiaoxi woke up and smiled shyly, "I...I'm researching...these delicious things, how are they made...Take it apart and see it more clearly..."

Dong Shuiyue shook her head, "Xiaoxi, you should move here."

"Ah?" Ming Xiaoxi opened her mouth wide.

"It's not safe for you to live alone now. It's better to live here, everyone will take care of you, so you can rest assured." Dong Shuiyue explained.

"No! No need!" Ming Xiaoxi repeatedly refused, "It's fine for me to live alone, what's the problem? Besides...before he moved in, I was always alone..." Her eyes were a little confused , "Now, it's just going back to the way it was in the past... Besides, what's unsafe, I'm the invincible Ming Xiaoxi!"

"However," Dong Shuiyue was still worried, "I heard that the Haixing Gang fought fiercely with Lieyantang recently, and many people were killed or injured...you, a girl...would you..."

Ming Xiaoxi was a little distracted, "Really?...Did a lot of people be killed or injured?..." She never dared to watch TV or read newspapers, as long as she refused anything related to social news.Little did she know what was going on.

"That's right." Dong Haonan said in a stiff tone, "Now the Haixing Gang and Lieyantang are fighting, and people are injured every day, and people die every day..."

"I'm going home!" Ming Xiaoxi jumped up like a spring, she said in a panic, "I still have a lot of things to do, I'm going to start reviewing my homework, there is still a basin of clothes waiting to be washed at home, and the sheets are too It's time to change..."

"Ming Xiaoxi!" Dong Haonan yelled, "If you cover your ears and don't listen, things won't happen? You coward! Where did your courage go?!"

Ming Xiaoxi didn't even look at him, just looked at the others and squeezed a smile, "This meal is very good, thank you Mama Dong. I'm going home. Goodbye Mama Dong, goodbye Senior Che, goodbye Xiaofeng, Goodbye Xiaoxue."

She bowed to everyone except the angry Dong Haonan, turned around and walked out with a smile.

"Xiaoxi, I'll ask the driver to take you." Dong Shuiyue chased after her.

"I'll see her off." Feng Jianche had already put on his coat at some point, and took a few strides to catch up with Ming Xiaoxi who was gradually disappearing.

"What's the matter? What's the matter? Why did elder sister Ming leave suddenly?"

Dong Haoxue, who was confused, looked left and right, hoping that someone could tell her what happened.However, Dong Haonan angrily overturned the chair and left the dining room, Yang Qianfeng continued to chew the food in his mouth slowly as if he didn't hear anything, Dong Shuiyue sat down again with a sad face, and no one paid attention to her question.

On the way back to the apartment, Ming Xiaoxi stared at the vast night outside the car window in a daze, without saying a word.

However, as the distance to the apartment got closer, Ming Xiaoxi's expression gradually became uneasy.When Feng Jianche finally stopped the car, he found that she shrank like a little mouse.

"Xiaoxi, we're here." Feng Jianche reminded her.

"Oh, here we are..." Ming Xiaoxi slowly reached out to push the door, but it didn't open after a long time.She chuckled, "I'm really useless, I can't even open the door."

The smile she forced made Feng Jianche frown, "What's the matter, Xiaoxi?"

"Hey, it's nothing," Ming Xiaoxi was still struggling with the car door, "I'm an idiot, I can't push the door open..."

"You should pull here." Feng Jianche told her in a low voice.

Ming Xiaoxi suddenly realized, and laughed loudly, "Haha, look how stupid I am, I can use push! Hahaha, I'm really the stupidest person!" She seemed to think this was the funniest thing in the world. Leaning forward and backward, laughing until tears came out.

"Xiaoxi!" Feng Jianche hugged her, who was smiling a little abnormally, "Don't do this."

His embrace was so warm and strong, his embrace crushed her last cell that was trying to be strong.She buried her head deeply in his chest, her laughter choked up, "Senior...I don't want to go back...it's empty...there's nothing..."

"Xiaoxi..." Feng Jianche lightly patted her on the back.

"Don't leave me... only me..." Ming Xiaoxi's tears seeped into his chest quietly, "I'm useless... right... I'm afraid of being alone..."

Feng Jianche's apartment.

Feng Jianche stuffed a cup of steaming drink into her hand, "Drink it."

Ming Xiaoxi took a sip, "It's chocolate."

Feng Jianche smiled, "You didn't eat anything just now, you should be hungry. Drink the chocolate first, and I'll go and make you something to eat."

"No need." Ming Xiaoxi hurriedly shook her head.

"Is Yangzhou fried rice good?" He asked her opinion without allowing her to refuse.

Ming Xiaoxi was lying obliquely on the big white sofa in the living room, covered with a soft blanket, smelling the aroma from the kitchen, drinking the thick hot chocolate, and felt that her long-lost spirit seemed to be recovering. Back in a trace.

This is the second time she has come to his apartment.His place is still as clean and bright as before, just like a person of Feng Jianche, making people feel so comfortable and natural.Unlike her, since Mu Liubing left, the apartment has become a mess...

"Yangzhou fried rice is here!" With Feng Jianche's brisk laughter, a plate of rich and fragrant fried rice appeared in front of Ming Xiaoxi.It suddenly aroused her appetite, Ming Xiaoxi swallowed, and only then did she realize that she was really hungry.

Ming Xiaoxi used the spoon that Feng Jianche brought her, and took big mouthfuls of rice, muttering while eating, "It's delicious...it's delicious..."

She ate the fried rice up to the top, and then began to drink a bowl of delicious, unnamed soup that Feng Jianche brought her.

After eating and drinking, she stroked her bulging belly and fell back on the sofa, "Senior, how can you cook Yangzhou fried rice? You still cook it so authentically? Have you ever eaten it before?"

Feng Jianche smiled, "I haven't eaten it, I just made it according to the recipe." "Huh?" Ming Xiaoxi blinked, "You can make such amazing food just by looking at the recipe. If you are going to cook With the development of the world, I think those chefs don't have to mess around anymore." Feng Jianche knocked her, "Exaggeration! Your craftsmanship is also very good." Ming Xiaoxi's small face immediately collapsed, "Senior, you know How much blood and tears were used to buy those dishes that I can see? My mother opposed my father teaching me martial arts since I was a child, fearing that I would be too rude to marry. As for thinking that I am worthless, she forced me to learn cooking from the chefs in the restaurant and let the pickiest people taste the dishes I made. As long as someone is not satisfied with the taste, I will have nothing to eat at least, and at worst I'm going to be beaten." She raised her head and looked at him adoringly, "I'm like a stupid bird, I've practiced hundreds and thousands of times before I can fly a foot high, but senior, you spread your wings lightly, and you're right above the sky!" Feng Jianche hit her hard again, "You're about to become a sycophant." "I'm not!" Ming Xiaoxi strongly protested, "I speak from the bottom of my heart! I can swear that senior Feng Jianche is the person I admire the most, You have hands like a god! Compared to you, I have become very small..." She felt a little lost, "I can't do anything...I can't take anything back...Even if I try hard... ...It still seems powerless...Senior...I wish I had your ability..." Feng Jianche stared at her deeply, "Do you know that I have also practiced boxing kung fu?" Ming Xiaoxi opened his eyes wide, " Really! Senior, what have you practiced?" He smiled softly, "I have practiced everything, taekwondo, martial arts, boxing, Sanda..." He raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to see it?" Ming Xiaoxi nodded quickly.Feng Jianche got up and practiced a set of boxing techniques in the open space of the living room. He was vigorous, with a chic posture and vigorous skills, which was really impressive.After performing, he adjusted his breath and sat next to Ming Xiaoxi, "What do you think?" Ming Xiaoxi scratched his head, "Who taught you this set of Shaolin Changquan?" "Master Lin Zhengxiong." "Ah? It's Lin Zhengxiong." Martial uncle?" Ming Xiaoxi was very surprised, Lin Zhengxiong was her father's junior brother, and his kung fu was also very good. "Do you think I'm a poor student?" Feng Jianche laughed at himself.Ming Xiaoxi scratched his head vigorously again, "I can't say that, your moves are very good and beautiful, but...it seems that you don't have the muscles and bones to punch this set..." He laughed, "Master Lin also said the same. Mine. Do you know how long it took me to learn this set of boxing?" "..." "A whole year." "Impossible!" Ming Xiaoxi exclaimed.Feng Jianche smiled easily, "Silly girl, when did I ever lie to you... How long did it take you to learn this set of boxing?" Ming Xiaoxi looked at him carefully, "Three days..." "Follow me Is it at the same level?" "No!" Ming Xiaoxi's chest stood out high, "I learned it when I was nine years old. At that time, I used it, and the experts I saw praised me for "hitting a tiger out of the mountain." Kicking dragons from all over the world'..." The more she talked, the more complacent she became, "Everyone praises me as a 'wonderful martial arts' and a 'martial arts genius', no matter what routine or weapon, as long as I have seen others practice it, I can learn it! Since I was a child, I have never lost a fight with anyone, and before I came here, I even had a tie with Uncle Lin!" Feng Jianche's smile grew bigger and bigger, "I know, you are a chivalrous woman." Ming Xiaoxi finally felt a little shy, "Hey, did I get carried away..." Feng Jianche said softly: "Look, many things are like this, sometimes you can do a thing very well without any effort. Well, sometimes you have to put in a lot of effort to do something well, and sometimes, no matter how much effort you use, you can’t make things go as you want.” He stared at her softly, “There are some Things can be changed, and some things seem to determine how it will develop in the first place, and people are powerless. For some powerless things, don't be too harsh on yourself why you can't restore it..." "Like... Hitomi ?" Ming Xiaoxi began to think. "It's also like drift ice." Feng Jianche brought out the question she avoided.Ming Xiaoxi grabbed the blanket tightly on his body, "You mean... Bing was born in that environment... He already lived in that environment... He was in that situation... His choice... was also It can only be like that?" Feng Jianche was silent for a while, "As for Liubing, I don't know what is his reason for making this choice. However, I believe that if there is not only one way to go, he will never Willing to go back to the shepherd's house again." Her heart twisted like a blanket in her hand, "No matter what the reason is, I don't want to see him do that. I always wonder, I always wonder if I should Do something, is there something I can do to keep him from doing that? But... I think and think, my head hurts, and I can't think of anything I can do.

"Senior Che!" She threw down the blanket and grabbed his arm with both hands, "Tell me, what should I do? It must be because my brain is stupid that I can't think of a way. You are so smart, tell me?!" "If You are referring to telling Liubing not to be the master of Lieyantang," Feng Jianche shook his head, "Then I have nothing to do, and neither can you, even Liubing himself has nothing to do." "..." Her fingers gradually slide. "Although I don't know much about the underworld, I also know that there is a tiger that will eat him in front of Drift Ice. I can't run away. Only by picking up a weapon and fighting it can I have a chance." He held her hand Finger, "Xiaoxi... don't blame Liu Bing for being too stubborn, it's that tiger who is too cruel." Ming Xiaoxi's fingers were cold, "But... it's too dangerous... just in case..." Feng Jianche smiled wryly, "Yes! There is no way to avoid many things." "However," he squeezed her hand, "don't despair, things will always turn around, and the development of many things will be beyond people's original expectations. As long as we work hard It's not hopeless to seize the opportunity." "Really?" Ming Xiaoxi stared at him closely. "Really." Her hands slowly warmed up... Being beside Feng Jianche, her heart also slowly warmed up... The night is very deep. "Xiaoxi...Xiaoxi..." Feng Jianche gently pushed her awake. "Hmm..." "Can you go home and sleep?" "Don't..." "I'll take you to the guest room?" "No... here... there is a senior..." Ming Xiaoxi frowned in his sleep Wrinkled, "Don't... be alone..." The night is getting deeper and deeper.Ming Xiaoxi fell asleep with her pillow on Feng Jianche's lap, she turned over while muttering from time to time, and the blanket fell under the sofa.A long and slender hand will always cover her with the blanket in time, and carefully tuck it under her chin... On Wednesday morning, as soon as Ming Xiaoxi stepped into the classroom of Class C of the second grade, Koizumi greeted her Shrieking in horror: "Ming Xiaoxi! Why are you here?" Ming Xiaoxi was confused by her screams, and was very confused, "What's wrong? Can't I come?"

Hulala, a large group of girls surrounded her and asked her in a hurry: "How can you be here?!"

Girl A shouted angrily: "You let us down so much!" Girl B looked puzzled, "Is the rumor true?" Girl C looked at her disappointedly, "Ming Xiaoxi, I don't worship you anymore !" The girl Ding excitedly tugged at her inexplicably, "Quick, tell us the inside story!"...Ming Xiaoxi stood at the door of the classroom and asked in a daze, "What's wrong with me..." What did she do? How would they react like this?Why can't she figure it out at all?Her begging eyes turned to Koizumi.Koizumi sighed heavily, picked up a magazine from the table, and threw it to her with a "whoosh" in the air, "You can read it yourself." It was a Guangyu College school newspaper!On the cover of the school newspaper was a picture of Feng Jianche walking side by side when Feng Jianche sent her out of the apartment on Monday morning.On the photo, there are two lines of big scarlet characters printed - "Loving new lover Ming Xiaoxi does not return home at night, abandoning old love, shepherding Liubing is too hurt!" The more Ming Xiaoxi looked at it, the more frightened she became, her hands began to tremble involuntarily, The magazine swayed like fallen leaves in the wind... Koizumi pushed away the girls surrounding Ming Xiaoxi, and pulled her to a secluded corner outside the classroom.Koizumi looked at her, "It's not like you don't know anything until now, right? Since noon yesterday, the TV is full of news about Mu Liubing being assassinated and sent to the hospital for emergency treatment." Ming Xiaoxi stared straight at her, " What you said...is...really?" Koizumi looked incredulous, "Ming Xiaoxi, are you blind or deaf? Now all the newspapers and TV headlines in the city are like this! Are you really You broke up with Mu Liubing? You don't even know such a big thing?!" Ming Xiaoxi held her tightly, "He...how is he?!" Koizumi grinned in pain, her strength is really extraordinary Big, "I, I don't know, some reports say that Mu Liubing is dead, some reports say that he is being rescued and he is not out of danger, and some say that he is unharmed... I don't know either Which one is true and which one is...ah! It hurts to death!" Ming Xiaoxi grabbed her tightly with all her strength, "Which hospital is he in? Tell me quickly!" Koizumi burst into tears in pain, "I said That's it...don't crush my bones..." "Say it!" Ming Xiaoxi stared angrily. "Guangyu Hospital! He's in Guangyu Hospital!" Koizumi shouted in fright.A crazy impulse made Ming Xiaoxi's head go blank, and all her consciousness was left—"Don't run so fast!!" Koizumi shouted behind her, "You are so..." Koizumi covered her face Gasping for breath, my God, how did Ming Xiaoxi run so fast? She disappeared faster than her voice could travel, so she didn't even have time to tell her that Guangyu Hospital is now surrounded by the police. Mice couldn't even get in. Ming Xiaoxi ran over so recklessly, how could he get in... There was a commotion in Guangyu Hospital.A seriously injured patient covered in bandages on an emergency bed, when the nurses pushed "him" through the intensive care unit area, suddenly a carp jumped out of the bed, spread his legs and stood a lot towards a door Wards of police and bodyguards ran. "Where are you going?!" "Don't run around!" The nurses panicked, chasing and yelling, they had never seen such an energetic and seriously injured patient, "he" was not seriously blown up in the gas explosion Injured in urgent need of rescue? The "seriously injured patient" rushed into the crowd of bodyguards and policemen who were facing the enemy like lightning. "He" twisted his body left and right, scurried like a loach, and got in between them, and twisted the doorknob of the ward—"he", he went in! The series of actions of "him" lasted no more than three seconds. The police and bodyguards outside the ward firstly did not expect such a rampant "killer", and secondly, they had no time to react. Already in the ward. "Danger!!" "Be careful!!" "Put your hands up and don't move!!" "We're going to shoot!!!" The shouts came one after another... The police aimed their pistols at the "killer" who broke into the ward, and their fingers were on the ground. Trembling nervously, as long as "he" made a slightly dangerous move towards Mu Liubing on the hospital bed, the bullets would be fired mercilessly.But——the policemen widened their eyes in amazement... I saw the "killer" covered in bandages slowly raised his empty hands above his head, and "his" eyes were pierced through the seams of the bandages He stared intently at Mu Liubing, who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face and an indifferent face. "Who are you? What are you doing?" the policeman asked sharply.One of the nurses chasing after him replied: "'He' is a patient who was injured in the gas explosion brought by the ambulance!" "Gas explosion?!" Pull off all kinds of tubes on his body, jump out of bed and rush to "him", "You...are you injured?!" It may be that his body is a little weak, and in the process of rushing to the "weird", his feet are weak, Almost fell... "Bandage Man" rushed forward and hugged his body tightly... Dangerous! !The policemen's hands holding the guns became tense again... "Wait a minute!!" Tong on the side hurriedly stopped the policeman's action, "She is the young master's girlfriend!" What? !The jaws of the policemen are about to drop. How can a girl visit her injured lover in this way? "Miss Tong, you didn't lie to us, did you? If something happens, we will be very responsible..." Tong smiled lightly, "You can see for yourself." Really, the police found that Mu Liubing and that "weird man" "From just now to now.Mu Liubing gently closed his eyes, holding "his" body tightly with both hands, his handsome face was full of excitement even though he was a little weak...
