Chapter 58

Situ Mo’s mother asked them when they were going to get married. Mo and Gu Weiyi promised righteously that they would get married as soon as Gu Weiyi graduated, and that they would feast everywhere.

 

Although it was inappropriate to deceive the elders, but when the elders were coaxed very happy, it was considered to have rounded it off.

 

Mo watched her mother shaking her waist and going out to call her dad to report good news. She turned to Gu Weiyi and asked him, ‘We must keep this secret for a lifetime. Burn the marriage certificate in case they see the date.’

 

‘Idiot!’ Gu Weiyi gave her a hard bounce on the forehead.

 

Situ Mo rubbed her forehead and said, ‘You are doing domestic violence.’

 

Gu Weiyi shook his head and went away to play the computer. Mo followed him and asked, ‘Do you think I should make a phone call and talk to Jieer first? Otherwise, I'm afraid that if she suddenly sees you, she will have some extreme behavior.’

 

‘How old is she? I’ll give her the rope if she wants to hang herself. I’ll hand her the medicine bottle if she wants to swallow medicine. I’ll help her sharpen the knife if she wants to cut her wrist. I’ll help her call the taxi if she wants a traffic accident, and if she wants to jump out of the window, I’ll just watch her.’ Gu Weiyi answered casually while playing games.

 

Mo was shocked, ‘Gu Weiyi, remember to remind me not to offend you.’

 

Mo sat on the bed and called Xu Jieer, but she didn't get through for a long while. So Mo just gave up.

 

After dinner, Situ Xiang took Gu Weiyi to get familar with the environment, while Mo chatted with her mother at home.

 

Older women would be inevitably chattering about short stories around them. She didn’t have to say anything, just listen.

 

It was more than ten o'clock when her mother suddenly remembered to say, ‘Why hasn't Gu and Xiang come back yet?’

 

‘Let me give him a call.’ She took out her phone and as soon as she put it through, the doorbell rang. Mo thought they were back and hung up to open the door.

 

As soon as the door was opened, Xu Jieer, who looked worn-out, stood in front of the door and smiled at her exhaustedly, ‘I'm coming.’

 

Mo was so scared that she almost threw the door on. She forced out a smile and leaned over and then said, ‘Come in, I called you several times this afternoon but you didn't answer them. I thought you were not coming.’

 

Xu Jieer looked a little uncomfortable, ‘No, the mobile phone broke down.’

 

After speaking, she went inside by herself. She greeted Mo’s mother warmly, ‘Hello, Aunt, I'm Jieer. Do you remember me?’

 

Mo’s mother looked at her carefully and said, ‘Of course I remember, you are getting more and more beautiful. This afternoon, Mo and Gu said that you have got married. It's a good thing to start a family when you are young...’

 

Mo closed the door and went into the hall. Before she could interrupt. The phone rang, it was Gu Weiyi, ‘We'll be back soon. Let aunt go to bed first. Don't wait for us.’

 

Mo lowered her voice and said, ‘Comes.’

 

‘Xu Jieer has come?’

 

Wow, a scientist's head couldn’t be underestimated. He could guess with such a short word.

 

‘Yes, come back soon.’ Mo hung up the phone in a hurry.

 

Xu Jieer saw that and asked curiously, ‘To whom?’

 

Mo’s mother was proud of herself, ‘Gu, Mo’s boyfriend, a very good child.’

 

Mo didn’t know how to talk. This very good child used to be a boyfriend of Xu Jieer.

 

Mo felt that she still needed to do a psychological construction for Xu Jieer before Gu Weiyi came back, so as not to frighten her mother with the drama that would be staged later. So she dragged Xu Jieer into the room and told her the whole story.

 

Mo talked very fast, and she talked about the process of how she knew Gu Weiyi, how she was together with him and how she found out that she was his ex-girlfriend. Finally she said that if she still feel that she was sorry for her as Fu Pei did then, she could just speak out, but this time she wouldn’t say sorry.

 

Xu Jieer was silent for a long time before she said that they were too young then. In fact, She felt sorry for him. Now that Mo had fallen into his hands, she just help atone for her crime.

 

Mo was amazed at her attitude. She felt that she had really changed. She was no longer the lady who used to act without considering others’ feelings. It was very good.

 

Gu Weiyi and Situ Xiang came back with many bags. When Gu Weiyi saw Xu Jieer, he said, ‘I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you all right?’

 

Xu Jieer generously responded to him: Long time no see, very good, I won’t ask you that, with Mo of course, everything will be good.

 

Mo was disappointed that she had not seen any pictures of the meeting of two old lovers, which should cause heaven thunders and earth fires. So she just scolded Gu Weiyi that as such a big man, he was still blackmailed so many things by her younger brother, who was just a little asshole, wondering if he could only read books with his head.

 

Gu Weiyi was in a good temper and didn’t quarrel with her. He just rubbed her hair and said, ‘Xu Jieer should be very tired when she came here. You should arrange her to wash and rest. I'll go out and not bother you.’

 

Xu Jieer was a little disappointed when she watched Gu Weiyi go out. He was still that handsome. There was a unique temperament from his bones, which had captivated her at that time. She was even willing to sacrifice anything in order to make him angry. If it weren't for him, she would not fall into this field today... However, he just looked at her once when he greeted her, and his eyes were so smooth that he seemed to just see a friend whose name had been forgotten by him.

 

Mo picked out a set of pajamas from the wardrobe and handed them to Xu Jieer. She said, ‘Go to take a bath first.’

 

Xu Jieer answered and took the pajamas, she met Gu Weiyi, who had just finished washing at the door of the bathroom. He nodded to her and walked sideways. Xu Jieer couldn't help but call him, ‘Gu Weiyi.’

 

Gu Weiyi stopped and looked back at her.

 

She burst into tears and choked, saying , ‘I'm sorry.’

 

Gu Weiyi didn't comfort or say much. He just smiled and said, ‘That's all right. Good night.’

 

In the bathroom, Xu Jieer touched the old scars and bruises on her body in front of the mirror. In a moment of sadness, she turned on the tap with sobs. In the sound of the water, she heard Situ Mo say to Gu Weiyi, ‘Why did you buy such an expensive pair of shoes for my brother? Are you crazy?’ Gu Weiyi said, ‘Your brother gently expressed to me that if I bought nothing for him, he would tell his mother that he had bumped into us in the room when we were doing bad things.’ Situ Mo said, ‘Asshole, I’m going to kill him.’ Gu Weiyi said, ‘Come on, he’s just a little boy, just take it as buying some gifts for my brother-in-law.’ Situ Mo said, ‘Don’t be garrulous, you are wasting money, and you couldn’t live well.’ Gu Weiyi said, ‘You can live well, that’s enough.’ Situ Mo said, ‘I want to drink water.’ Gu Weiyi said, ‘Pour it by yourself.’ Situ Mo said, ‘You carry me.’ Gu Weiyi said, ‘You are so heavy...’ Xu Jieer thought herself amazing. The water was so loud and they were so far away. How could she hear anything?

 

Xu Jieer rubbed the bruises on her thighs viciously.

 

Why was her life always worse than Situ Mo’s? It was she, who was the princess, wasn’t it?

 

When Mo woke up the next day, Xu Jieer was still asleep. Mo looked at her and thought bitterly that it was so good that she didn’t have to go to work and could wake up naturally every day. Unlike her, whose biological clock had been tuned as an alarm clock, and couldn’t relax even on holidays.

 

Mo slightly got out of bed. Xu Jieer felt the movement and suddenly cried ‘No’. Then she shrank and looked panicked. Mo felt a little strange and thought that she must have been so tired as to have nightmares, so she didn't go deep into it.

 

Walking lightly out of the bedroom, Mo found that Gu Weiyi had been helping her mother in the kitchen. She shook her head. The boy had tried his best to please her mother. If this trend went on, she would soon be replaced by him. No one would be on her side if there was a quarrel in the future.

 

Mo shouted to her mother, ‘Mom, I got up. What can I do for you?’

 

Her mother turned around and smiled kindly, ‘No, Gu is helping me, it's enough.’

 

she said as if nothing had happened, ‘Mom, you have to be careful of the enemy's sugarcoated bullets.’

 

Her mother laughed pamperedly, ‘Naughty child, talking nonsense early in the morning.’

 

Mo glared at Mo when her mother didn’t see him, and was gesturing to throw the carrots in his hand to her. So Mo cried out, ‘Mom, he bullied me!’

 

Her mother turned to see Gu Weiyi again, who was washing the carrots cleverly, showing innocence. She laughed, It’s so good to be young, and can flirt.

 

When they finished their breakfast, Xu Jieer got up and rubbed her eyes, showing a charming expression. She said, ‘Aunt, I missed the fried chicken wings so much. Could you make them for me?’ Her mother met Bole at once, and said gladly, ‘I’m going to buy chicken wings right away.’

 

‘Aunt, you've been busy all morning. You must be hard. Tell me where to buy it. I'll buy it.’ Gu Weiyi said.

 

Mo’s mother laughed and said, ‘No, I’m not tired. Walking helps me exercise.’

 

In the morning, Mo and Xu Jieer spoke in the room for a while, but their lives had been disconnected for too long, and they had no common topic. They could only talk about those ancient memories over and over again, and could only make up the common language by consuming Fu Pei. At last they had nothing to say, so Mo suggested that they go out and take a walk. Then the three wandered idly on the road and finally into their high school.

 

It was class time, and they shouldn’t have been allowed to get in, but they slipped in while the doorman was dozing off.

 

Mo and Xu Jieer were very nostalgic, the flowers and trees here shared their memories, so there were more topics around the campus.

 

On the contrary, Gu Weiyi was bored. The memories here had nothing to do with him, but he still had to endure: Didn't you date with Fu Pei often on this bench before? This tree produced a lot of guavas every year. Every time Fu Pei would pick a lot of guavas, and I would steal his. Why hadn’t this trash bin been replaced yet? This cave was kicked by Fu Pei, who was a bully...
