Chapter 30

On June 1st, Children's Day, which was celebrated all over the world, but Mo was unhappy. It was mainly because the time for Gu Weiyi to go abroad had been fixed, July 22nd. That is to say, they had only one month and twenty-one days left to spend with each other. After deducting her working time and the time he spent doing experiments, may be it would be less than half a month for them to stay together.

Today, Lin Zhicun, who had been cooperating in the project recently, was going to visit children in orphanages. Originally, the shooting schedule of their advertisements was very tight. It's not easy to set aside a day. But he wanted to do public welfare, this kind of thing belonged to big deals, their company also dare not stop him. So Mo, who had been busy for several days was asked to do public welfare with brother Tie, and had a day off. This kind of non-weekend holiday was always welcomed by Mo, because there was a sense of earning. If it happened that Gu Weiyi didn’t have to go back to school to do experiments, it would be a sense of bigger earning. Unfortunately, today was only a small earning.

Gu Weiyi had thought that since she had a day off, he would take a leave to accompany her at home. Anyway, the experiment he did with Lu Jian-shi was almost done. However, the professor happened to be in the laboratory when he called. He was lessoned, which almost rose to the height of scientific spirit and humanistic spirit. He had no choice but to promise to guide Lu Jian hand by hand until the end of the experiment.

Gu Weiyi got on the bus, all in his mind was this morning before he left home, Situ Mo, who was really pitiful, sitting on the sofa in the living room with her legs in her arms, pouted her mouth and asked, ‘Can you come back and have lunch with me?’

Mo had stayed on the sofa in the same position since Gu Weiyi went out. Recently, it seemed that she could hardly do without Gu Weiyi. It's better when she was busy, but when she was free, she could do nothing but think about him deeply. She didn’t know how long this late love affair will last, and how could she live if he went to America?

When she was thinking blindly, the doorbell rang. Mo raised her head but felt not like to move. Maybe it was sister Li who sent cold noodles again. The door opened while she was angrily cursing the rotten peach blossoms of Gu Weiyi.

Gu Weiyi opened the door and came in, ‘Why didn’t you open the door when you at home?’

Mo looked at him weakly and asked, ‘Have you forgotten anything?’

Gu Weiyi looked at her, who was down. He became more convinced that he was right to come back. He went over to pull her up and pushed her to the room, ‘I forgot you, go and change your clothes.’

Mo turned back and asked while being pushed along, ‘Why to change clothes? Don’t you have to do experiments today? Are you taking me out?

Gu Weiyi could hear the gladness in her voice and felt a little guilty. He rubbed her head and said, ‘I failed to ask for leave, so you go to school with me. I'll take you to eat pickle fish near our school at noon.’

Mo was happy. She gave him a hug and jumped into the room to change her clothes.

Gu Weiyi laughed and shook his head.

Mo carefully probed into the laboratory, glanced at it, and retracted. Gu Weiyi followed her and laughed at her who was acting like a thief. He knocked her on the head and said, ‘Go in.’

Mo’s eyes flashed and asked, ‘Can I?’

He didn’t know why, her sneaky eyes instantly reminded him of the mice in the chemistry department. He smiled and said, ‘Yes, you'll see the same kind later.’ After that, he went in.

Mo hurried to catch up with her. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a temperamental beauty in a white coat staring at her. She thought to herself, was that the same kind as he said? Were they all beauties? She thought and felt very happy, laughed and pulled at the sleeve of Gu Weiyi’s clothes to ask for an introduction.

‘This is Lu Jianshi, the sister who did the experiment together with me.’ Gu Weiyi pointed to the lady in the white coat, patted Mo’s head, and introduced to Lu Jianshi, ‘This is Situ Mo, my girlfriend.’

Mo felt a little familiar with the name, but couldn't remember it for a moment, so she just smiled shyly and said, ‘Hi.’

Lu Jianshi restrained her panic and pulled the corners of her mouth, ‘Hi.’

Mo pointed curiously at her white coat: ‘Do you all have to wear this? You look good in that way.’

Lu Jianshi had not yet recovered from the attack, but nodded expressionlessly.

Mo found that she did not want to chat, so she turned back to Gu Weiyi intelligently and said, ‘Why didn’t you wear a white coat?’

Gu Weiyi took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed one of them to her, ‘There is a row of cabinets outside the door. My cabinet is 311. This is the key. You go and get my clothes. There are books in the cabinet. You can read them if you feel bored.’

Mo ran to open the cabinet, found out the clothes, and turned over the books in it. She must have something wrong with her to have read these books, which were Semiconductor Materials and Heat Treatment of Metal Materials.

Mo returned to the lab and gave the clothes to Gu Weiyi, he changed his clothes and said to Situ Mo, ‘Wait for me here. I'll do the experiment.’

Seeing that he was about to enter a laboratory, she pulled him, ‘What am I going to do then?’

‘You can go around here and there are mice that you can play with.’ Gu Weiyi pointed at a corner of the room. ‘I’ll came out quickly, just for guidance.’

‘Okay.’ Mo looked around and loosened his clothes, but tole him, ‘Be quickly.’

Lu Jianshi shivered slightly with the test-tube in her hand. Finally, she couldn't resist the surge of her heart and asked, ‘Brother, your girlfriend is so beautiful. How come I haven't seen her before?’

Gu Weiyi took the test tube in her hand with a clamp and roasted it around the alcohol lamp. A layer of mist appeared on the glass wall. He pointed to the water vapor on the glass wall and said, ‘If the test tube is not dry, it will affect the results of the experiment.’

Lu Jianshi nodded. She would not have made such a stupid mistake before. It's really unusual today.

Gu Weiyi gently pushed the door and approached Situ Mo, who was leaning over, teasing the mouse to talk.

‘You're too unlucky. Did these scientists just feed you poisons from time to time?’

‘Squeak... Squeak...’

‘I guess so. Don't reincarnate as a rat in your next life. How good it would to be to be a cat.’

‘Squeak... Squeak...’

‘You still want to be rats? Then be a grey mouse, not a white mouse, although not as cute as white mouse, at least won’t be caught to do experiments.’

‘Squeak... Squeak...’

‘By the way, why do white mice have to be used in experiments all over the world?’

‘Squeak... Squeak...’

‘Well, you don't know either? The player can't see most of the game. It's so boring. I'm so bored to talk to you. As if I’m so naive and lively.

Gu Weiyi then coughed lightly and pulled the ponytail behind her head, ‘White mice are used because their genes are closer to human’s, and the color is pure, so it is more obvious to observe the changes of the experiment from the appearance. Situ Mo, You're childish.

Mo looked back at him and said, ‘You're childish. Have you finished the experiment yet? Can we go and eat pickle fish?

He circled her ponytail around his finger and gently tugged, ‘No, I'm coming out to see you and the mice family.’

Mo pouted and glared at him, ‘Don't pull my hair. I have a styling.’

Gu Weiyi refused to let go, ‘Styling in this way?’

She stretched out her hand and tried to pull back her hair, but he just didn't let go. She changed to a circuitous policy, ‘Oh, it hurts.’

Lu Jianshi gazed out through the glass on the door at the two people who were playing outside: He pulled her ponytail, she pouted and glared at him, trying to pull back, he did not let go. Then she said something pitifully, and he laughed, let go of her hair and rubbed her head affectionately.

Lu Jianshi suddenly felt that the way he laughed was strange, not that he did not laugh usually, but his laughter was often polite and alienated, unlike now, simple and without any perfunctory.

Gu Weiyi returned to the laboratory and found that the sister was in a daze and did not answer him two times. The experiment was meant to be careful and precise. He was dissatisfied with her attitude and had a bad tone: ‘Lu Jianshi, if you're not in good shape today, don't do it.’

Lu Jianshi looked at him somewhat blankly, ‘Ah?’

Gu Weiyi pointed to the obvious overdose of dye in her hand, ‘If you're not in good shape when doing an experiment, just don't do that, never waste each other's time.’ He had sacrificed his time with girlfriend to guide her in the experiment.

Lu Jianshi was shocked by his stern tone and muttered an apology, ‘I'm sorry... I will pay attention to it.’

Gu Weiyi nodded, ‘Halve the dose of dye, pay attention to PH value when coloring.’

Situ Mo dozed on the table, heard the opening of the laboratory door and looked up. They both walked out of the laboratory one after another. Gu Weiyi had no facial expression, but from his tight cheeks, she could still guess that he was angry. Lu Jianshi pursed her lips and was about to cry.

Mo couldn't stand the strange atmosphere and automatically greeted, ‘Have you finished the experiment yet?’

Gu Weiyi shook his head: ‘Not to do that today, let's go for dinner.’

At the end: ‘Why?’

Lu Jianshi interjected in a low voice, ‘I broke the gel that was about to be dyed. I'm sorry.’

Gu Weiyi gave her a cold look, ‘Don't even do that in the afternoon, don’t do that until you are in a good shape.’

Mo pinched his waist, ‘Don't be sad, little sister, he didn’t mean that.’

Gu Weiyi stared at her and said, ‘That's what I mean.’

Mo ignored him, smiled at Lu Jianshi and said, ‘Shouldn’t you have been frightened by him? Shall we go for lunch together at noon. If you know more about him, you will not be afraid. We will go to eat pickle fish. Do you like it?

Lu Jianshi was shocked by her enthusiasm, ‘Well, yes.’

‘Let's go together.’ Mo made the decision.

Gu Weiyi sighed in his heart, he had never seen such a meddler.
