Chapter 44

Alas. There must be a farewell.

 

As the plane was about to take off, Mo fastened her seat belt and sighed. Although the plane hadn't started to move, her ears were buzzing and she swallowed. It was still painful.

 

When Gu Weiyi saw her off, he was unhappy and muttered: I asked you to study here, but you refused, even not willing to have two more days off.

 

Mo dared not say a word, kissed him and boarded the plane.

 

This trip to the United States was bizarre enough. Before going there, she was an unmarried girl. When she came back, she was a married woman. America was a wonderful land.

 

There were many chatterers in this society, especially on long-distance buses or long-distance airplanes. She was not very good at talking with strangers. So she was afraid of such kind of person. She would often hide away. Therefore, she had developed a skill of sleeping with cars and trucks. As long as she wanted, there would be bed everywhere. She decided to take advantage of this expertise on the plane, while the people in the position next to her had not boarded the plane, she quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

 

‘Get up, the plane landed.’

 

In her sleep, Mo’s face was patted and she put her head aside and went to sleep.

 

‘Situ Mo!’

 

The voice of gnashing teeth grabbed her from dream.

 

Situ Mo blinked her eyes hard and looked at the man in front of her. Although missing was a very mysterious thing, it would not be so mysterious that it can make a person come out of it.

 

‘Why, hell?’ Gu Weiyi laughed and put her chin which almost fell down the ground, ‘I've never seen a better sleeper than you, sleeping all the way to snoring.’

 

Mo pinched herself and then pinched him, and giggled, ‘Why are you here?’

 

He rolled his eyes and said, ‘I was trying to surprise you, but you slept through my surprise.’

 

Mo stopped talking and just looked at him, giggling.

 

Gu Weiyi was a little uncomfortable with her, and said in a rough voice, ‘Stop looing, go.’

 

Gu Weiyi pushed the truck and Mo took his hand as they walked slowly through the crowded airport.

 

Suddenly Mo stopped and said, ‘Why did you follow me? How many days off did you take?

 

Gu Weiyi pushed her head and said, ‘Now you think of asking. I took three days off.’

 

Mo said, ‘Only three days, so you have to go back the day after tomorrow? You burn money, did you know how expensive air tickets were? I tell you, you have a family now, your family is me, I am your family, you are still a poor student, but you spend money arbitrarily, what will you be later on? I hope you can support me in the future. I tell you, I don't have much dream in my life, just pass away my time, and you are God's gift to me to help me achieve this dream, so you can’t develop the habit of luxury and waste, you have to be diligent and thrifty for me, you...’

 

‘You are becoming more and more like a wife.’ Gu Weiyi shook his head and said softly.

 

Mo ignored his words, without knowing whether he was praising her or not, she continued to nag dutifully.

 

Mo was dragged back to Gu Weiyi’s house by him, simply tidied up the house, and then was dragged out of the house, confused to the Civil Affairs Bureau, took photos, saw an aunt, whose hair was like instant noodles, signed, paid nine yuan of notarization fee. Mo was so nervous that she signed her name to her husband's column. The aunt blacken her face, changed a sheet of paper to them, insisted that they pay an extra printing fee. Today, how can such a service attitude work… In short, they are notarized, and it's cheap to get married.

 

Out of the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, they went to the market again and bought food. After the Rock Paper Scissors, he lost and had to cook for her in the kitchen.

 

Mo watched TV in the living room, constantly changing the stage, turning back to see Gu Weiyi busy in the kitchen from time to time. It felt a little wonderful. Was this the legendary life of husband and wife? It seemed to be the same as before.

 

Mo paused with the remote control in her hand and pressed back to the channel she had just flashed. Uh? Lin Zhicun's advertisement? Stop and have a look.

 

Ah, it's her advertisement. She didn't expect that she would be so excited to see the results of her work on TV. Looking at the children's clear eyes, Lin Zhicun's jumping fingers, Meng Lu’s dreamy side face... Well, it's a genius.

 

Mo sighed and cried, ‘Gu Weiyi, come out and see, my advertisement is on the air.’

 

Gu Weiyi ran out with a spoon. He was very enthusiastic. However, when he saw Lin Zhicun, he hummed, ‘This fair-faced man again.’

 

Tut, little tolerance.

 

Mo ignored his sour grape mentality and was immersed in joy. It took her a while to suddenly think about it. Why was it on TV? Do entries have to be broadcast on TV?

 

The next day, Mo was forced by Gu Weiyi to ask for leave early in the morning. She called back to the company and asked for two more days off. Her new head in the creative department was a very serious woman. She was not very talkative, but she promised her leave very quickly.

 

Putting down the phone, Mo hugged Gu Weiyi's neck in joy and said, ‘Ha-ha, I've successfully asked for leave.’

 

Gu Weiyi looked askew at her hand hanging around his neck. ‘You're going to strangle me, aren't you?’

 

In a good mood, she ignored his cold words and said, ‘What are we going to do all day today?’

 

Although they had been together in the United States these days, he kept writing reports and attending classes, she had not completely occupied his day. She wondered why her honeymoon was so wrongful.

 

Gu Weiyi took off her hand and said, ‘Visit our parents.’

 

Mo was stunned, ‘What? I don't know where your parents are, but my parents are thousands of miles away. How can we visit them?’

 

He patted her on the head and said, ‘There is a kind of transportation in the world called airplane. If I remember correctly, you took it yesterday.’

 

She was anxious and pulled him to say, ‘No, if my parents knew that I had got married before telling them, I would be beaten to death then. If you want to see my parents, step on my body.’

 

He stared at her for a long time before he compromised and said, ‘Well, then visit my parents.’

 

Mo just wanted to nod, but felt something was wrong, ‘You took me as a fool, my mother would know everything as long as you mother knows. I’ll also be beaten by my mother. If you really want to change your bride, just say, let's depart on good terms, don't make a fuss.’

 

Gu Weiyi was sulky, ‘So you're going to let me be an underground husband?’

 

Mo nodded and said, ‘You must remember that you don't have any financial resources now. You are a poor student. You can't do underground banking. You can only be an underground husband.’

 

He squinted and gritted his teeth, ‘Speak more?’

 

She had to laugh, ‘Oh, don't do that. Anyway, we've got registered. I can't run away from you. Just wait until you come back home and we have settled down. You don't want my family to think you as a rash kid who doesn't respect the elders?’

 

Scientist Gu Weiyi’s head was not very familiar with the sophisticated aspects of human relations, so he had to stop.

 

So Gu Weiyi promised to take Mo to the amusement park after breakfast, and have a romantic party like in Korean drama.
