Chapter 53

Day and night, night and day.

 

Someone who was shameless and still studying had a winter vacation.

 

Mo and Gu Weiyi, a pair of Cowherd and Weaver Maid, welcomed Gu’s winter vacation, and he boarded the plane as soon as he finished his exam.

 

When Gu Weiyi got home, it was two o'clock in the middle of the night. Although he had told Situ Mo not to wait for him before, when he got home, the lights were blackened. However, when he opened the door and saw that Situ Mo slept soundly in the room, he was not happy with his extreme pettiness of character. He took two rounds in the room. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he was. How could he have such a disgraceful wife, who didn’t care about her husband at all!

 

The third time he stood by the bed, he really wanted to rush up and crush her to death, a dead woman with no conscience!

 

He hesitated again and again to give up. He was really afraid of frightening her in the middle of the night.

 

He turned to go out to wash, and a laughing voice came, ‘Husband, where are you going?’

 

The lamp flashed a few times and lighted on, and Situ Mo wrapped herself in a quilt, showing only two eyes and a water-like smile.

 

Gu Weiyi looked at her, was unable either to laugh or to cry, ‘Situ Mo, you are really naive.’

 

Mo blinked her eyes and said innocently, ‘Would you still think I was naive if I told you that I didn't wear any clothes under the quilt?’

 

Gu Weiyi was stunned, then slowly walked to the bed, Mo was giggling all the time.

 

He stood at the head of the bed and looked down at her, with flames flashing in his eyes, ‘Situ Mo, you asked for it.’

 

He pulled down her quilt at a blinding speed.

 

Mo screamed, turned and fell on the bed laughing fast.

 

Looking at Situ Mo, who was dressed neatly and laughed wildly, Gu Weiyi sighed weakly, slapped her on the buttock and said, ‘Get up and cook for me.’

 

Mo struggled and laughed, ‘Ha-ha... You just... Hahaha... The expression just now... Ha ha ha ha... It's too wretched.’

 

When Gu Weiyi came out of the bath, Situ Mo had made a bowl of noodles and was dozing with her head at the table. He went over and patted her on the head and said, ‘Go to sleep first.’

 

Mo blinked her eyes forcefully, yawned and said, ‘I'll wait for you. Eat fast.’

 

Gu Weiyi did not insist. He sat down and took up his chopsticks to eat noodles.

 

Late in the night, there was a small yellow light in a window. Under the light, a man and a woman were at both ends of the table. One was buried in noodles and the other was dozing seriously.

 

The next morning, Mo was woken up by the phone. In order not to disturb Gu Weiyi, who was still asleep, she climbed up and down to pick up the phone outside the door.

 

She heard Fu Pei shouting over there as soon as she answered the phone, ‘Situ Mo, what time is it now? Aren’t you ashamed to take my salary?’

 

Mo looked at the clock in the living room, good. It's over ten.

 

She had a hollow laugh, ‘Sorry, I overslept. I'm going to work right now.’

 

Mo was forced to be blamed by Fu Pei for a while and hung up the phone. As soon as she turned around, she was hugged by Gu Weiyi. Her hands shook with fear and her phone fell to the ground.

 

Mo was so angry that she threw her fist at Gu Weiyi and pounded him so hard until he begged for mercy, ‘Fine, fine, I’ll pick up the phone for you.’

 

He let go of her and went to pick up her phone. She watched him bend down in a wonderful posture, kicked him and ran into the room.

 

Gu Weiyi was kicked to a stagger and stood up to chase.

 

As soon as Mo entered the room, she closed the door, locked it quickly, and then listened to Gu Weiyi pounding at the door, and changed clothes.

 

When Mo had changed her clothes, she first leaned on the door and listened for a moment. Then she opened the door trustingly. When she saw Gu Weiyi leaning against the wall, smiling at her, she slammed the door quickly.

 

Gu Weiyi put his hands around his chest and said coolly, ‘Situ Mo, if you have the ability, never come out.’

 

Mo pouted her lips in the room, ‘I will not go out!’

 

So the two bored people stubbornly got outside and inside one door until Mo’s phone, which was in Gu Weiyi’s hand, rang. When he looked at it, it was Fu Pei, so he picked it up without hesitation, ‘Hello.’

 

‘Hello?’ Fu Pei hesitated for a moment before he asked, ‘Gu Weiyi?’

 

‘Yes.’

 

‘When did you come back?’

 

‘Last night.’

 

‘Well, how long is the holiday?’

 

‘One month.’

 

‘Well, come out for dinner when having time and I’ll wash the dust for you. But let Mo listen to the phone now, I have something to do with her.’

 

‘Wait a minute.’ Gu Weiyi knocked at the door, ‘Situ Mo?’

 

Mo’s voice came through the door, ‘You don't have to shout, I won’t go out whatever you say.’

 

He smothered a laugh, ‘You are wanted on the phone.’

 

Mo hummed, ‘I’m not a fool!’

 

Gu Weiyi put the phone back to his ear and said, ‘Fu Pei, Situ Mo is on leave today. Should you deduct her salary? It doesn't matter, just do it.’

 

Mo listened carefully in the room, hurried to rush out and grabbed the phone and screamed, ‘Fu Pei, don't listen to his nonsense. I'm going to work. Don't deduct my salary.’

 

When Fu Pei was about saying that I didn't say I would deduct your salary, he heard a scream from the phone, ‘Ah... Gu Weiyi, you are mean and shameless, how could you attack me sneakly!’

 

Fu Pei hung up the phone in a bad mood and leant heavily back in his chair. It's a fucking sin.

 

Mo still went to work. Chen Xiaoxi saw her come in and whistled, ‘Oh, Miss Situ Mo, spring is shining all over your face.’

 

Mo was in a good mood and garrulous, ‘Of course, my wife’s back.’

 

‘He’s not your wife. Haven't you studied!’ Suddenly a cold voice came behind them.

 

Today, Fu Pei was very hot-tempered. Chen Xiaoxi's design manuscript made a mistake in one color and was severely cut by him. He also blamed that Mo’s accounts were in a mess. He even hung up two calls from clients.

 

The boss was in a bad mood. Of course, as an employee, she had to follow the rules desperately. Originally, Mo was going to leave early in the afternoon to buy food and cook with Gu Weiyi. Now she dare not even mention it.

 

When she called Gu Weiyi and told him, she found that Gu Weiyi was in a good mood, saying that he would pick her up from work and go shopping and cooking with her.

 

At the end of work, Mo went out with Chen Xiaoxi and came downstairs to see Gu Weiyi coming to her.

 

Mo said to Chen Xiaoxi, ‘My boyfriend is coming.’

 

Chen Xiaoxi said, ‘Wow, beautiful enough to feast my eyes.’

 

After a brief greeting, Gu Weiyi suddenly said, ‘I often hear Situ Mo say that you take good care of her. What about having a potluck at my home. Situ Mo’s cooking is very delicious.’

 

Mo looked at Gu Weiyi in a bit of surprise. How could this person invite someone home for dinner?

 

Chen Xiaoxi was about to refuse when Fu Pei appeared. He smiled and said, ‘Dinner, let me join you. I can drive you there.’

 

Gu Weiyi also smiled, ‘Let's go then.’

 

So a car of four people went to the market. Fu Pei could not find a parking space for a while, so he had to let them get off to buy food first, and he went to find the parking space himself. It was not easy for him to stop and enter the market. He looked for a long time before he saw them in the distance.

 

Chen Xiaoxi was picking fruit in front of a fruit stand. Gu Weiyi and Mo were standing in front of the meat stand. Mo looked up and listened to Gu Weiyi carefully. Then she smiled and naturally put her hand in his hand. Mo turned back and said something to the butcher. The butcher smiled and handed her a bag. Gu Weiyi reached for it and Mo handed the money to the butcher.

 

Fu Pei stopped, took a deep breath before going on walking. He came to them and asked, ‘How many things have you bought?’

 

Gu Weiyi raised his bag, there were meat, fish and vegetables.

 

Mo said, ‘Steamed bass, braised pork ribs, stewed Dongpo pork, corn rib soup.’

 

Fu Pei protested, ‘I don't eat fish.’

 

Mo gave him a white look, ‘I bought for Gu Weiyi, not for you.’

 

Fu Pei's heart was sour, but he laughed at her and said, ‘I know, only your man is human, and no one else is human.’

 

Mo shook her head, ‘No, everyone else is human. You are a beast.’

 

Fu Pei looked at Gu Weiyi and said, ‘Having a glib tongue, I sympathize with you.’

 

Gu Weiyi just smiled without speaking up. Fu Pei suddenly felt that he laughed provocatively.

 

Mo rebuffed and said, ‘You are a beast in clothes, and I sympathize with your future wife.’

 

This side was still bickering, Chen Xiaoxi, who was in the next fruit stand shouted, ‘Mo, Mo, I’d like to eat kiwi fruit, but it's expensive, come to pay for it.’

 

Mo turned her eyes, took two steps and turned back to Gu Weiyi, opening her palm and said, ‘Hey, I don't have any money.’

 

Gu Weiyi took out his wallet and put it in her hand, ‘Buy some oranges.’

 

Fu Pei saw the ring on their hands with a sharp eye, and his heart sank again. He had tried to buy a couple watch when he was together with Mo, but just refused, saying it was too ostentatious.

 

For the first time, Fu Pei looked carefully at the place where they lived together. There were two simple rooms and two halls. There were cups everywhere. There's an iron shelf next to the sofa, which was full of science magazines. Others were very ordinary, no special flavor of the owner.

 

Gu Weiyi went to cook with Mo. Fu Pei and Chen Xiaoxi watched TV in the living room. Fu Pei stared at the TV screen, while his ears lengthened, listening to the sound in the kitchen.

 

Mo: ‘Gu Weiyi, have you finished washing the food yet?’

 

Gu Weiyi: ‘It's almost done.’

 

Mo: ‘Wash quickly, my oil is hot.’

 

Gu Weiyi: ‘What's the rush, wash it yourself if you are in such a hurry.’

 

Mo: ‘Do you believe I’ll put your head in the frying pan?’

 

Gu Weiyi: ‘No.’

 

Mo: ‘Wordy, you fry dishes, I’m not going to do that.’

 

Gu Weiyi: ‘Forget it, just have one less dish.’

 

Mo: ‘You really won’t fry, will you?’

 

Gu Weiyi: ‘Better die than surrender.’

 

It was quiet for two minutes. Only the oil was sizzling in the pan. Then Mo suddenly gave a cry.

 

Gu Weiyi: ‘What's the matter?’

 

Mo: ‘Splashed by oil.’

 

Gu Weiyi: ‘Trick?’

 

Mo: ‘No, it's all red.’

 

Gu Weiyi: ‘Stop acting. I’ll do that. I've never seen anyone more clumsy than you.’

 

...

 

Chen Xiaoxi looked at the TV and then at the boss, who looked constipated. After thinking about it for a while, she opened his mouth and said, ‘Boss, although it is an old saying, there are plenty of fish in the sea, let alone the fish has its owner.’

 

Fu Pei was silent for a long time before he said, ‘Do you have a owner?’

 

Chen Xiaoxi pointed to her nose and asked, ‘Me? No, boss. Even if you don't eat fish, should you eat grass beside the nest. It's too tasteless.

 

Fu Pei nodded and said, ‘Yeah, I think you're not good enough.’

 

Chen Xiaoxi: ‘...’
