Chapter 59

Three people strolled until noon, and simply found a fast food restaurant at the school gate to eat.

 

Xu Jieer hesitated at the door and asked Gu Weiyi, ‘Don't you need to find a cleaner one?’

 

Mo had already stepped into the door, turned around and said, ‘Gu Weiyi, don't show any cleanliness.’

 

Gu Weiyi shook his head at Xu Jieer and went straight into the store, so she followed him.

 

Mo picked up a table and directed Gu Weiyi to order. Xu Jieer volunteered to follow him.

 

Mo pulled out some paper towels to help Gu Weiyi wipe the stool and table carefully, but she herself sat down very casually.

 

‘Weiyi, what would you like to eat?’ Xu Jieer asked pleasantly.

 

Gu Weiyi looked directly at the waiter and said, ‘A Mapo tofu rice and a black pepper beef steak rice please.’ After that, he turned aside and walked away. As he passed by Xu Jieer, he said politely, ‘I'll go to the company Situ Mo first. Just choose whatever you want.’

 

Before Xu Jieer could respond, he had already gone away. She reluctantly smiled at the waiter, ‘A minced pork rice please.’

 

Mo asked Gu Weiyi, who was walking to her, ‘What did you order for me?’

 

‘Beef steak rice, which stool has been wiped?’ Gu Weiyi asked.

 

Mo hooked her foot on a stool and kicked forward, ‘Here, I won't wipe it for you next time, affected.’

 

Gu Weiyi hooked the stool and sat down, taking a couple of disposable chopsticks.

 

As soon as Xu Jieer sat down, Gu Weiyi handed her the chopsticks. She was surprised and took them over, thanked him sweetly.

 

Gu Weiyi said, ‘You’re welcome’ and then took apart the disposable chopsticks in his hand, wiped them with a paper towel and handed them to Situ Mo.

 

Mo took them, wrinkled her nose and said in disgusted tone, ‘Have you ever heard that It's not clean, it's not sick?’

 

Xu Jieer lowered her head and quietly disassembled the disposable chopsticks in her hand, and reluctantly hooked her mouth. She didn't even know who she was laughing to.

 

Mo had raised her head, trying to say something to Xu Jieer, but swallowed it back when she saw her lost expression, her heart was a bit bitter.

 

Fast food, of course, was fast. When the dishes are served, Mo cried to eat the minced meat in Mapo tofu and stirred it with her chopsticks in Gu Weiyi’s meal. In any other circumstances, Gu Weiyi would get angry already, but he could clearly feel that Mo’s willfulness had the feeling of acting, so he just let her go in a good temper.

 

But in Mo’s eyes, there was another flavor. He had been vicious usually, clean and calculating, but just act as a gentleman with his old lover here, ha?

 

Xu Jieer turned her eyes away so as not to see their intimacy. She felt sad in her heart. When she was with Gu weiyi in those years, she dared not touch his taboos even when she was wayward. She remembered once she went to see him play basketball. After waiting for a long time, she unscrewed the mineral water she had bought him and took a few drinks. He took the mineral water she gave him at half-time break, just smiled and put it aside when he found it had been unscrewed, went on to play basketball again. He played for more than an hour without drinking any water. Another time, when she ate ice cream with him, she suddenly felt like eating his, and she asked him to give her a bite, and he gave her the whole. She asked him to take a bite of the ice cream she had bitten, but he just refused. Finally, he walked away with a black face and ignored her for several days.

 

A meal was finished by three people with different thoughts in their mind. After that, they had no mood to go shopping any more, so went back home. Mo’s mother blamed them, saying that young people just didn’t like to eat at home. The food at home was delicious and hygienic, but they just ate outside… Mo was too lazy to speak up and left her alone. Instead, her son-in-law humbly accepted it. Xu Jieer also helped answer a few words. Mo felt as if they were the real couple, so she became more and more unpleasant.

 

In the afternoon, Gu Weiyi dominated the computer to play games. Mo and Xu Jieer were sitting in bed playing cards. They were both a little absent-minded. Especially Mo, for a moment, she felt that she herself was too stingy. For another moment, she thought that Xu Jieer was not focused on playing cards. Why did she peep at her husband?

 

‘Jair, do you want to play computer games?’ Eventually Mo could not help whispering, ‘What about asking Gu Weiyi to let you play for a while?’

 

Xu Jieer paused and said, ‘No, I just think your Gu Weiyi looks handsome when he is playing games.’

 

She had admitted so generously that Mo was embarrassed, laughed a few times and said, ‘Just so-so, you just don’t dislike him.’

 

Xu Jieer said earnestly, ‘Don't you think he looks very calm when he plays games, and there is a bearing of a great general?’

 

After carefully recognizing Xu Jieer's expression, Mo decided to put her in the perspective of pure appreciation, and was ashamed of her guess, so she answered her very carefully, ‘No, I think he seems quite ignorant and incompetent.’

 

...

 

After dinner, Gu Weiyi tutored Situ Xiang in his room to do his homework. Mo and Xu Jieer watched TV with Mo’s mother in the living room. The mother's heart after spring or summer or something else? Anyway, the more Mo watched, the more she felt like dozing off. She had slept with Xu Jieer last night and was not used to that, so she just slept very shallowly.

 

‘Mo, Mo - your phone is ringing.’ Xu Jieer patted Mo, who was already half asleep, ‘Are you so sleepy?’

 

She rubbed her eyes and answered the phone, ‘Hello?’

 

‘Situ Mo! Did you enjoy your vacation, ha? Do you want to go back to work? Fu Pei’s voice came with mockery.

 

Mo yawned, ‘Not bad, abandoned myself to pleasures.’

 

‘Si, Tu, Mo!’

 

Mo heard his grinding voice clear through the great phone communication network in the small receiver, and she slowed down her tone, ‘I’m kidding, look at you. Let me ask the person you missed to talk to you.’ Then she handed the phone to Xu Jieer. Xu Jieer took it over and said with a smile, ‘Fu Pei?’

 

‘Uh? Are you?’ Fu Pei's voice hesitated, ‘Jieer?’

 

‘Congratulations on your correct answer. The prize is Jieer’s kiss.’ Xu Jieer's laughter was gorgeously dressed, and Fu Pei laughed very happily on the other side of the phone. Even Mo’s mother, who was enjoying watching TV, turned around and looked at Situ Mo. Was that good as a married woman?

 

‘Oh, really? Ha-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, why is your mouth still so seductive? Okay, I don't mind long ago... Ok, Ok, I'll call you when I get back.

 

Xu Jieer took the phone and chatted endlessly, with laughter from time to time.

 

Mo admitted that she was very unkind, and the word that flashed through her mind at that moment was adulterer **.

 

During this period, Gu Weiyi came out and poured a glass of water. With his eyes, he asked Mo why Xu Jieer was so happy. Mo gave him a silent look, and he shrugged his shoulders and went in again. Then Situ Xiang came out to the toilet and came to insult Mo about Gu Weiyi’s abnormal head. He said, ‘Sister, is your boyfriend's head a machine? Why could he work out the problem in two minutes, which would take half an hour for me to solve? Why do I need twenty minutes to do an English Reading Comprehension, and did it half right, but he did it all right for just five minutes? Why he could solve any problem? Why on earth? Are you hating my birth for having robbed your scenery? Are you trying to hit me? Are you trying to depress my life from now on? Did you know that I'm just a high school student? My heart is very fragile. I don't want to be poisoned by that strange scientist any more…’

 

Situ Mo and her mother jointly beat Situ Xiang into the room.

 

Xu Jieer just igored the progress which was cruel, and kept chatting with Fu Pei. She was lost in the good atmosphere of old lover would be better. Everything outside was floating clouds for her.

 

By the time Xu Jieer handed the phone back to Situ Mo, it was hot and kept sending out low-power warnings.

 

Mo looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock. Xu Jieer had talked for more than two hours. Nokia's batteries lasted a long time… She charged her phone and went to save the fragile high school student.

 

When Situ Xiang saw his sister coming in, he threw down his book with joy and said, ‘Sister, I shouldn’t have been knocked like this, my ‘Test book’ is almost half finished by brother Gu...’

 

Situ Mo squinted and smiled. She patted Gu Weiyi on the head approvingly and said, ‘Good job, little guy.’

 

Gu Weiyi stared at her, making her stopping her action like patting a dog, saying, ‘Ha ha, you can rest, let Situ Xiang rest and recuperate his wounded heart.’

 

Gu Weiyi nodded and said to Situ Xiang, ‘You can go to sleep after straightening out the ideas I told you today.’

 

Situ Xiang's mouth twitched. Gu Weiyi had told him more than a dozen solutions to the problems today, and many convenient solutions were not even mentioned by his teacher. He could organize his notes until daybreak...

 

‘Hey, why does my brother look as good as dead? How many problems did you ask him to do? Out of Situ Xiang’s room, Mo asked Gu Weiyi.

 

‘No, you had said that I can't abuse your brother too much, hadn’t you? I just gave him as many as a third of the problems I did every night in high school before.’ Gu Weiyi looked innocent.

 

‘Oh.’ That should be all right.

 

‘Situ Mo.’ Gu Weiyi called her at a corner of the hall.

 

Mo didn't know the reason, ‘Ah ha?’

 

‘When will she leave?’

 

‘Who? Oh, she, I don't know. Did you care?

 

‘No, just...’ He paused and did not follow up.

 

But, I just couldn’t get along with you alone. Where you grew up, listen to you tell me how naughty you were and beaten by your parents when you were a child. How did you fell down on which road carelessly; How did you talk back to your teacher and your parents were asked to go to school...

 

Just Just that when you're with Xu Jieer, and I would get worried.
