Mu Wenxi woke up at Song Xici's house in the morning and stared blankly for a while before getting up. The events of yesterday were truly terrifying.

Song Xici looked at her with concern: "You're up. Why didn't you sleep a little longer? Are you alright?"

Mu Wenxi forced himself to remain calm: "It's alright, I'm much better."

Song Xici brought out the steamed dumplings. She held one in her hand and blew on it, instantly finding comfort in the delicious food.

Seeing that she had almost finished eating, Song Xici took out a small bowl of soup: "Have some of this, it's a calming soup."

"good".

Song Xici looked at her, who was lost in thought, and asked, "Why don't you go out for a walk to clear your head?"

Mu Wenxi took a bite of the xiaolongbao: "Okay, let me distract myself a bit. But did you work overtime last night? Your dark circles are so heavy, why don't you get some more sleep?"

Song Xici glanced at her with a mournful look.

The two tidied themselves up and prepared to visit the museum in the city center.

Mu Wenxi was wearing a long black dress, and she looked a little haggard, probably because she had been frightened the night before.

The subway was crowded, and Song Xici held Mu Wenxi tightly in his arms, protecting her from being touched by others.

With her mind a jumble of thoughts, Mu Wenxi didn't notice these details. Occasionally, when the train stopped, people would sway from the inertia and bump into Song Xici's arm, but she didn't realize it was a pillar.

Song Xici seemed to feel no pain at all, constantly noticing the other person's changes, and always using his arm to shield them from any potential injury.

The two stood in the lobby of the museum.

Song Xici: "This is my first time here."

Mu Wenxi: "After knowing each other for so long, I still don't know where you're from?"

Song Xici: "I am from Tongshi."

Mu Wenxi: "Then why did you come here? For work?"

Song Xici froze for a moment, then responded softly.

Mu Wenxi: "I think we can come together again next time."

"Um".

As they walked and looked around, little did they know that Mu Wenxi was looking at the paintings, while Song Xici was looking at her.

After a day of rest, Mu Wenxi adjusted herself and prepared to go back to work as usual.

Song Xici: "Won't we take another day off?"

Mu Wenxi shook her head: "No, I'd better go to work early."

Colleague: "You're back to work so soon? Aren't you going to take a few more days off?"

Mu Wenxi shook his head, clearly not in good spirits.

Her colleagues heard about her situation and felt sorry for what had happened to her.

Director: "You're so dedicated."

During her lunch break, Mu Wenxi inquired about new houses to see if there were any suitable ones.

She felt a little embarrassed. Living in someone else's house all the time wasn't a long-term solution, and even if the other person agreed, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Sharing an apartment is an option, but Xi Ci has never charged her any money.

A few days later, good news came from the police: Anhe had been arrested. Mu Wenxi was finally relieved and could enjoy Christmas and New Year's Day.

After getting off work, Mu Wenxi thought about going to the supermarket to buy some groceries to cook, so she sent a message to Song Xici asking what he wanted to eat.

Song Xici: "Shall we go to the supermarket together?"

Mu Wenxi: "Okay, I'll call you after get off work."

Song Xici: "Hmm."

The two agreed to meet at a supermarket near their apartment complex.

Mu Wenxi saw him approaching from afar: "What would you like to eat?"

Song Xici pushed a cart: "Want some sweet and sour pork?"

Mu Wenxi nodded and reached out to take it, and Song Xici also reached out, and the two of them happened to take the same plate of pork tenderloin.

Mu Wenxi smiled and let go of his hand, while Song Xici's eyes flickered and he moved his fingers.

At the checkout counter, Song Xici took the bag to pay, but Mu Wenxi stopped him, saying, "You can't expect me to stay at your house for free, especially since you've been cooking."

Song Xici: "Okay."

The two walked back side by side, with Song Xici glancing at her from time to time.

Mu Wenxi: "What's wrong?"

Song Xici shook his head.

In the kitchen, one person was responsible for washing vegetables and the other for cooking.

After the meal, one person is responsible for washing the dishes.

"I'll wash it."

Song Xici avoided her hand holding the bowl: "I'll wash it. A girl's hands are more precious."

Mu Wenxi: "Okay, thank you. I feel like I've said thank you so many times lately."

Song Xici smiled and said, "Thanks to you, I haven't been so bored lately, and the house has become much more lively."

Mu Wenxi suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, good news, Anhe has been arrested."

Song Xici: "Congratulations on getting rid of that rotten guy."

Mu Wenxi chuckled, "By the way, shall we go to the residents' council meeting together later?"

At 8 p.m., the two arrived at the community activity room, which was already packed with people, with many residents standing.

Mu Wenxi whispered to Song Xici, "Actually, I think it's enough to have the owners' committee representatives come to this kind of meeting. It's really unnecessary for every household to come."

Song Xici nodded, though she hadn't actually heard what she said clearly; she only felt her ears burning and itching.

When the time came, community staff brought up several recent major events, including Mu Wenxi's deeds, and said they would strengthen access control in the future.

Mu Wenxi: "If I'm looking for a house in the future, I'll definitely look for the one with the best security."

Song Xici: "Are you interested?"

Mu Wenxi nodded: "I've got my eye on a few, could you help me take a look?"

Song Xici: "Okay."

Back in her room, Mu Wenxi took out her laptop, went to the living room, and sat on the sofa.

"These are the ones I'm interested in. They're conveniently located near my company, close to the city center, and have good security."

Song Xici sat down next to him and took the computer: "Are they all three-bedroom, one-living-room apartments?"

Mu Wenxi blinked: "Yeah, it's definitely better to stay in a bigger one, more spacious."

Song Xici: "This one is good, the lowest price. This one is a little more expensive, but the security is the best of the three, and the green belt is also good. I choose this one."

Mu Wenxi: "Okay, then I'll rent this right away."

Song Xici nodded and said, "By the way, I still don't quite understand the game you taught me last time. I can never win by myself."

Mu Wenxi took the phone: "Then let's try again together. You play a single-player game first, and I'll see how you play."

Song Xici enters the game: "Okay".

Mu Wenxi took a cushion and sat down next to Song Xici.

After entering the game, Song Xici found a remote spot to parachute. Although there were few people there, there were also very few weapons.

Mu Wenxi watched him nimbly running around the house.

"The operation is very smooth. Let me check the time. This place is a bit out of the way. Should we run away from the poison gas?"

"Um".

"There are people nearby, be careful."

Song Xici found a place to lie down, waited for the man to appear, then took him out with a few shots and took his supplies.

"We've made it to the finals, yeah."

Song Xici verbally agreed, but in reality, she noticed that Mu Wenxi was getting closer and closer to her, and she could almost touch the other's head when she looked down.

The other party was unaware and kept probing in this direction.

Mu Wenxi thought that the other person's slender fingers were too beautiful.

"There are three more people, you stay hidden."

"Um".
