I turned around, not looking at him, and lay on the stage pretending to be bored. Although my eyes were looking at the wine cabinet, my ears were still alert.
Mu Shiqin grunted a few times, and then said, "Did anyone see him when we found him... Oh, that's good. I'll go over right away, and you ask him to wait for me in my office. By the way, I'll let you
Check..." He suddenly fell silent and looked over thoughtfully. The sharp blue seemed to be able to see through my soul. My heart suddenly tightened, as if it was being ravaged and rubbed wantonly by an invisible big hand.
, getting tighter and tighter.
He said to the phone, "Forget it, let's discuss it in person. I'll be there right away. That's it."
After hanging up the phone, he walked over slowly, and I still pretended to look at the famous wines displayed on the wine cabinet as if nothing had happened.
Until the doting and apologetic voice came from behind him, "I have to leave. A client from the company is coming. I have to go there. You can eat dinner by yourself, and I will definitely come back to sleep tonight, okay?"
I nodded slowly. To be honest, these words had no feeling in my ears.
Just like eating, if there is no taste, you just have to eat it. Then eat it every day, on time and in the right amount, and then excrete it without digestion.
He put on his coat and told me before going out, "I ordered a piano. They will send someone to deliver it in the afternoon. Please sign for it."
I looked at the deliberately left spot on the edge of the balcony, and then asked puzzledly, "Piano? Why did you buy a piano?"
"Let you play it for me. The music you play is the most beautiful melody I have ever heard in my life."
"When did you ever hear me play the piano? Who told you that I could play the piano?"
He smiled, with a smile that was a little too proud to be beaten. "I know a lot more things than you think. Don't be so weird."
I didn't speak, I just stared blankly at the reserved spot in front of the balcony. My heart was empty, just like the empty balcony.
Mu Shiqin opened the door and put on his leather shoes. When he saw me in a daze, he walked in wearing his shoes without giving up and kissed my forehead. "A nanny will come over in a while. I feel relieved to have someone to take care of you."
I turned my head, looked straight at him, and then raised the corners of my mouth a little bit, pulling out an incredible arc. That kind of contemptuous and desperate smile.
Mu Shiqin pinched my thin cheeks with a sigh, and whispered, "Don't think too much, I'm not here to monitor you. I hired this nanny for you from the housekeeping company, and I haven't seen it yet. Don't worry, I
I won’t do anything. I’m leaving!”
He kissed my forehead gently, picked up the car keys and turned to leave. The moment the door closed, my smile disappeared.
I don't know why, but every day I spend with Mu Shiqin reminds me of a TV series I watched a long time ago, "Don't Talk to Strangers."
When I watched it at the time, I just felt that the heroine in the TV series was too weak, did not know how to protect herself, and did not even have the courage to escape. In the end, she ended up with a tragic end.
But now, I finally understand the painful and desperate feeling. It's not about weakness, let alone cowardice, but because there is no way to escape.
I often imagined that I had escaped the shackles and cage given by Mu Shiqin. When I opened my eyes, I was still in his hands, struggling powerlessly.
Suddenly the doorbell rang like a woman's hysterical scream. I was so frightened that my body trembled. My thoughts were disconnected.
I looked at the time, it was almost noon.
The person who answered the door at this time should be the nanny Mu Shiqin mentioned.
Opening the door, there stood a young girl in her early twenties with a long and slender ponytail. She was wearing a cream-yellow woolen sweater and a sky-blue cotton coat, which was washed white.
She wears jeans and a pair of red snow-covered cotton shoes. She is carrying a large luggage bag in both hands. Her skin is not white, but her face is very good, especially her eyes that are so bright that they can see people.
Rare innocence.
She smiled at me timidly, and lowered her head shyly in the face of my naked gaze.
It's really cute.
I laughed and asked her softly, "What's your name..."
