Chapter 4

The Polytechnic School is really a place with few girls around. Mo enjoyed the treatment as a famous model. She was borrowed by a group of unknown hungry young boys, who were said to be Fu Pei's good brothers and then smiled at different cameras. At last, her face was almost become stiff.

The group of people didn’t go for lunch until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the young people were easy to get acquainted with each other. After two or three hours, everyone called Mo as ‘Mo baby’. Fu Pei was so angry that he screamed to stop them, while Mo had no objection. And that Gu Weiyi just kept a gloomy smile on the side.

‘Mo baby, introduce girlfriends to brothers. We don't ask much, the one like you is enough.’ Eyeglasses said while pouring beer for Mo.

Mo laughed and said, ‘Aha, I just represent for the low standard.’

‘Well, the young man didn’t speak well. He means just as beautiful as you are.’ Big Fat raised his glass to drink with Mo.

Mo hesitated since she had a mild alcohol allergy. Alcohol rash would appear if she drank more than three glasses. She was still hesitating while Fu Pei reached for the glass, ‘My Mo is not an assistant for drinking, why should she drink with you? Let me drink if you want.’

Mo, who had sharp eyes, saw Gu Weiyi frowning again. She muttered in her heart, did this person love Fu Pei? Or else why would he dislike me and hate Fu Pei for helping in blocking the wine for me? Well, this road was not easy to walk. It's rainy and windy. She wasn't so heartless as to see Fu Pei being led around, and to have a hard future.

‘Fu Pei, I want to eat sizzling beef.’ Mo leaned over Fu Pei's ear and said.

Fu Pei suddenly blushed and stood up to take the beef across the table in front of Gu Weiyi. Situ Mo gave Gu Weiyi a provocative look when Fu Pei put the beef in her bowl.

Gu Weiyi was stunned, pretending not seeing the look she sent his way, clinking his glass with Eyeglasses and drinking. His heart despised Situ Mo even more, what a girl! Having whispered things to Fu Pei's ear, tenderly and sweetly, then sending provocative look his way the next minute.

The ringing tone of the mobile phone interrupted Situ Mo glaring at Gu Weiyi. She answered the phone, it was Wang Shan.

‘Mo, where are you now?’

‘Having dinner, have you eaten yet?’

‘Not yet. My friend left with a man. Shall I follow you this afternoon?’ Wang Shan was a little hesitant.

‘All right.’ If Fu Pei hadn't told her about Wang Shan's friend before, she would have doubted whether it was just Wang Shan's excuse to come here today. But at this moment, she only had sympathy. ‘Where are you? I'll pick you up for lunch.’ Wang Shan talked about a place. Situ Mo was not familiar with the neighborhood, so she gave the phone to Fu Pei.

Five minutes later, Wang Shan joined the table. The hungry boys of science and technology were all those who would abandon the old for the new. They turned around to show their courtesy to Wang Shan one by one.

‘Wang Shan, have a spicy chicken. The spicy chicken here is authentic.’ Eyeglasses put a piece of spicy chicken in Wang Shan's bowl.

‘Wang Shan, let me ladle the soup for you.’ Ak said.

‘I said, Mo baby, you are so kind to implement the requirement we just mentioned immediately, but this is obviously not enough for all of us.’ Big fat winks at Mo.

Mo picked a chopstick and shot it at Big Fat. ‘Get out, it’s not for you.’

‘Mo baby, you're so cruel.’ Big fat moved his fat body to avoid the chopsticks, being proud, who would know that clear guns are easy to hide but hidden arrows are difficult to guard against, but another chopsticks clocked his forehead.

‘I said that you can't call her as Mo baby.’ Fu Pei clapped his hands and asked credit from Mo. ‘ Accurate shot, wasn’t it?’

Mo patted his head and said, ‘Yes, you can definitely go to circus and perform.’

A table of people laughed together.

Wang Shan didn't understand what they said, just looked at Fu Pei's smiling face, feeling that he was so cute that her heart was going to melt.

After lunch, everyone took graduation photographs again, and Mo found that Wang Shan was prepared. Wang Shan put a camera in her arms and said, ‘Mo, take a picture for us.’ Then Mo suddenly fell from a model to a photographer. But Mo prefer to take photos for others. It's much easier than standing there and being photographed, what’s more, it would be her right to instruct others.

‘Give me a laugh, Gu Weiyi.’ Unaccustomed to Weiyi's gloomy face, Mo decided to rectify him. ‘I’ve told you to laugh, why are you so stiff-faced?’

Gu Weiyi ignored her and stared at Fu Pei.

Fu Pei was too busy to pay attention to them. Wang Shan was holding his hand very tightly. He wanted to break it but was too embarrassed to do that. He hadn’t expected that the woman had such great strength that he think he would need to apply some medicine to his hands.

‘Look at the camera, Gu Weiyi.’ Mo got angry when she saw him looking at Fu Pei affectionately. Can't he find something who shares the same interest with him? Must he break a good man?

‘Fine.’ Gu Weiyi turned his gaze lazily back to the camera, The woman had spared no effort to attract his attention.

‘You haven't smiled yet.’ Mo felt sick.

‘I can't smile at you.’ Gu Weiyi raised his eyebrows and laughed, then everyone laughed together.

Mo was the only person who knew how contemptuous his eyes were, as if she was a large cockroach. She glared at him, pressed the shutter to record the group of idiots who laughed like fools.

‘Mo, I didn't take a photo with you alone.’ Fu Pei managed to break away from Wang Shan. He grabbed the camera from Mo’s hand and stuffed it to Gu Weiyi. ‘Yi, take some pictures for us.’

Mo gave Fu Pei a look, Yi? So friendly.

‘Mo, Can I kiss you on the cheek and take a picture of it. Treating it as a graduation gift you give me?’ Fu Pei proposed with a shy face.

‘What do you think if I punch you and give you a black eye as a graduation gift?’ Mo squinted.

‘That's all right. I'll just put my hand on your shoulder then.’ Fu Pei put his hand up and looked at her with a smile.

‘Are you going to take photos or not?’ Gu Weiyi was impatient and glared at Situ Mo.

Situ Mo ignored him and smiled at the camera.

Gu Weiyi was distracted for a moment, her smile came too suddenly, too simple and warm, like the sunshine in the forest in the morning.

‘Hey, have you found the shutter yet?’ Situ Mo sneered, ‘You don't have to pretend to understand if you don’t.’

‘Mo, that's his camera.’ Fu Pei kindly reminded.

Mo stared at him. He was sold and helped to count the money foolishly.

Fu Pei was confused. Why did the two people feel so discordant?

Before dinner time, Mo kept complaining for hunger. She was really hungry because she had been walking around the campus with them like guerrillas the whole afternoon, and her feet were so sore. After this day, she had admired Wang Shan, who ran up and down in high-heeled shoes without even complaining. How great the power of love was!

‘Wait a minute, we'll go for dinner after taking pictures of the library.’ Fu Pei appeased.

‘That's right, Mo, bear with it.’ Wang Shan also said.

‘Well, I’ve taken enough photos. You’d better hurry up’ Mo sat on the grass, waving at them, ‘I really can't do that. Give me your package. I’ll be responsible for guarding these.’

Gu Weiyi glanced at Situ Mo and walked away.

Mo got angry, why did he look at her like that? It seemed like he thought Mo as delicate. She's actually really tired, and she didn’t feel the need to show off in front of the one she liked as Wang Shan did. She's not stupid. Why should she do that?

Mo buried herself in three bowls of rice, which really frightened everyone.

‘Mo, you should eat slowly and stop from overeating.’ Fu Pei poured a cup of tea and put it in front of her.

‘Never mine. Leave me alone, I'm really hungry.’ Mo was busy with the braised spareribs in front of Ak. Ak quickly moved the braised spareribs to her. Mo didn’t care for her image, so she laughed and said, ‘Thank you.’

‘You’re welcome.’ Ak scratched his head shyly and gave a goofy smile.

‘Ak, Mo is mine. No fantasy.’ Fu Pei jumped out suddenly.

‘Shut up.’ Mo scolded him, accidentally bumping her eyes into the icy vision of Gu Weiyi, and returned his gaze with an ever colder look.

After sending Mo away, Fu Pei saw Gu Weiyi lying in bed reading as soon as he returned to the dormitory. He jumped to say, ‘Yi, send me the photos.’

‘I haven't put them on my computer yet.’ Gu Weiyi's eyes didn’t leave the book at all.

‘Do it now.’

‘Tomorrow.’ Gu Weiyi turned over a page.

‘I want to see the pictures taken with Mo today.’ Fu Pei urged him, ‘Yi, hurry up.’

‘Don't call me Yi.’ Gu Weiyi closed the book. Unable to stand this fellow, having been called him as Yi from the freshman year. It was useless to oppose him. He was too lazy to take it seriously usually. But today, he even called him like this in front of Situ Mo. At that time, he clearly saw the mockery on her face.

‘You put the pictures now and I will never call you that again.’ Fu Pei promised.

‘Well, you said it.’ Gu Weiyi stood up to turn on the computer. He seldom go to the school recently, the computer was loaded with game software by Eyeglasses, and the speed of opening had slowed down a lot.

‘Don't stand behind me.’ Gu Weiyi said to Fu Pei, who had been standing behind him.

Fu Pei then decided to take a bath. Gu Weiyi had always been such a man. Nothing could matter to him. He had no popularity at all. The nickname Yi was used to make him approachable. Even Mo also hated him. On her way back to school, she had been kept saying bad things about him.

Gu Weiyi clicked on the photo. The first one was Situ Mo, taken without her knowing it. She sat on the grass, bowed her head and rubbed her feet, the evening light shone on her. She was coated with golden yellow light of the sunset, especially the her hair and her eyelashes, as if there were sunlight jumping on it. Behind her was a dark green meadow and a long, pale shadow. Hmm... This woman is very photographic, with good skin, long eyelashes, small mouth but always tight, looked very stubborn. In a word, the person who took this picture is very good at photography.

He clicked another picture, which was and Fu Pei and her, laughed like fools.

Next, Fu Pei and her classmates.

Next, Ak, Fu Pei and her classmates.

Next... He found that she didn’t take many pictures. Were they all in other people's cameras?

Gu Weiyi said to the screen, ‘Ak, I'll send you today's photos and you send those to me in your camera.’

Ak, who was two tables away, turned around and said, ‘Oh, good.’
