Put Your Head on My Shoulder (致我们暖暖的小时光) - Chapter 14

I pity Mo for taking a fancy to a guy who treated her badly. Glad that she finally saw what a bad man Fu Pei is (in the last chapter), and it's time for Gu Weiyi to enter her life with their cohabitation is going to start soon

Chapter 14

Mo didn’t remember how she got back to her dormitory.

Wang Shan was the only one in the dormitory. She moved a chair and sat on the balcony. When Mo entered the door, she turned around and gave her a fierce look. The naked hatred made her scared.

Darkness... The breathless darkness...

There were intermittent gasps coming to her ears, with whirring wind, the sound of leaves rubbing against leaves, and... Far away, there was a girl crying. She was crying. Why did she cry? Mo walked slowly over and patted her on the shoulder. She turned around and looked at her with only one pair of eyes on her white face!

Mo suddenly wakes up from her dream, sweating bitterly.

Fortunately, it was just a dream. She gasped slightly, tried to turn over to change her position and keep sleeping.

There's a man standing in front of her bed!

Fear was like a pair of big hands, tightening Mo’s neck tightly tightening it tighter and tighter until she could hardly breathe.

The long drooping hair, the cold eyes and the deep resentment in her eyes all made her hair creep.

It seemed the man is aware that she was awake. The shadow gave her a vicious look and climbed up the ladder. Mo quivered, pulled up the quilt and covered herself.

Nightmare and fright, when Mo went up in the morning, her eyes were red. Meng Lu was frightened when she wandered to the toilet. She spit out the foam in her mouth and cried, ‘Mo, what's wrong?’

‘Didn't sleep well.’ Mo returned weakly.

Meng Lu rushed over and pulled her to the full-body mirror. ‘No, look at your neck!’

Mo looked in the mirror. Her neck was red and swollen. What happened last night like a fast-moving movie, which passed through her mind quickly.

‘Mo, it's not a kiss mark, is it?’ Meng Lu looked at her strangely.

Mo was trying to say something when she pointed her eyes at her arms in the mirror and busily lifted her sleeves. There were red dots on her arms. She squatted down and lifted her pants, there were red dots on her legs. She squeezed out a bitter smile: ‘I have a wine rash.’

‘Really, but I don't think the swelling on your neck is the same as that on your hands and feet.’

‘There are many blood vessels around the neck. Of course, it will be swollen.’ A wise idea quickly occurred to Mo’s mind.

‘Don’t you need to see a doctor?’

Mo shook her head. ‘It will be over in a few days, just keep inside the dormitory.’

Meng Lu said as if remembering something, ‘How do I remember that you said you were going to help clean the house the night before last?’

Mo remembered it as well after Meng Lu’s words that she had to do voluntary work today. She really didn't want to do it, but she couldn't tell Gu Weiyi that she was in a bad mood and didn't want to work because she had been kissed by her sweetheart.

‘Sweetheart’... Whose heart was not made of flesh and blood, simple and fragile? If possible, Mo really wanted to label every heart as fragile, handle with care.

So, the sweetheart of everyone, could you, could you please, please handle it with care.

Fu Pei, have you seen it? Fragile, handle with care.

‘Mo, Mo, what are you stunned about?’ Meng Lu pushed her.

Mo put down her hand, which was holding her neck, and smiled, ‘No, I was wondering how to go out later to not let people think I'm overindulgent.’

Meng Lu touched her chin and said, ‘It's hard.’

Eventually, they turned in their wardrobes for a long time before they found a thin high-collar jacket, brown, with fleshy cloth that looked like a brown thermal underwear with a high collar, especially the overlapping of cloth around the neck, like a ring on the bark of a tree.

Mo despised Meng Lu, ‘This jacket is capable of evoking praises and tears. You have quite a unique eye.’

‘My man gave it to me.’ Meng Lu said helplessly, ‘When I received that, I felt a thunderbolt from the blue, but I had to pretend to be happy. Do you think it's easy for me?’

‘Not easy, not easy.’ Mo patted her on the shoulder. ‘I don't know where to buy such a classic jacket.’

‘My personal suggestion is wearing a thin coat on the outside.’ Meng Lu looked at it for a long while before she said.

Mo looked out at the sun: ‘It’s crazy enough to wear a long sleeve in such weather, I would be fed up with prickly heat with another coat.’

‘There is no difference for your neck, you just do whatever you want, but it's too ugly.’ Meng Lu concluded and walked away.

Mo looked carefully into the mirror for a few seconds, and finally put on another coat helplessly.

Gu Weiyi didn't sleep well last night, mainly because he would be awake if there's a little sound. So when Fu Pei came back to his dormitory at two o'clock, he woke up. Later, he didn't fall asleep. He laid in bed and watched Fu Pei smoking on the balcony all night. Later, he went to sleep in a daze and didn't see Fu Pei when he woke up. He asked Ak casually, ‘Where's Fu Pei?’

Ak suddenly got energetic, ‘I opened the balcony door in the morning and was startled. The smoke was so thick that I thought I was in the fairyland...’

‘Stop! Say the point.’ Gu Weiyi hurried to interrupt him, Ak, this guy couldn’t speak when he met a girl, but usually, he had more saliva than a cup of tea.

Ak stood up and went to the balcony to pick up a dustpan and shouted, ‘Look, he smoked all these. He hadn’t been afraid of pulmonary perforation.

Gu Weiyi took a look at the dustpan, which was full of cigarette butts, and said, ‘You haven't tell me where he is yet.’

‘How do I know? He ignored me when I spoke to him, and then went out.’ Ak put back the dustpan on the balcony. ‘Haven’t I been sweeping all the cigarette butts.’

‘Ak. Are you free today? Gu Weiyi asked, ‘If you are free, go and help clean the new house.’

Ak came back from the balcony: ‘Okay, but if I fail to find a place to live after graduation, you need to take me in.’

‘The living room will be left for you. Take your things and go. Maybe Situ Mo is already there.’

‘Are you really going to live with her?’ ‘What did Fu Pei say?’ Ak asked as he closed the computer.

Gu Weiyi understated, ‘Like staying away from his baby Mo or something else.’

‘Actually, I don't think it's proper for you to live together.’ Ak said casually, ‘Mo feels like a good girl. It's inevitable that love will come in time. At that time, one side is friendship and the other side is love. How will you choose?’

Gu Weiyi found the key and money from the drawer and stuffed them into his pocket. He was in a hurry and the money fell all over the floor. He had to go down to pick up the money.

‘Hey, you don't like her, do you?’ Ak asked hesitantly.

Gu Weiyi agitated to knead the money into a ball, straighten up, stuffed into his pocket: ‘Go, strive for an early return.’

Ak patted his pocket to make sure there was money inside and followed Gu Weiyi out of the dormitory.

When they arrived, Situ Mo was cleaning the glass. She stood on the chair with her back to the door. Hearing the noise, she turned her head, and smiled, ‘You have come, huh? Ak, long time no see.’

‘Stand up and be careful to fall down.’ Gu Weiyi reminded her.

Mo smiled indifferently: ‘No, I am very agile.’

Gu Weiyi didn't believe her at all and said angrily, ‘Come down and I'll wipe it.’

He had had a temper early in the morning! Mo jumped down and smiled at Ak, ‘You're here to help, too?’

‘Well.’ Ak smiled shyly. ‘I’m here to help.’

Mo handed the rag to Gu Weiyi. He took it over and stepped on the chair. ‘Where hasn't been wiped?’

‘The first two pieces of glass have been polished, while others not.’ Mo turned to Ak and asked, ‘Can you help clean the furniture? I’ll mop the floor.’

‘Okay.’ Ak nodded.

‘Then come with me and I'll get you a rag.’

Gu Weiyi watched her walk into the bathroom with Ak in the reflection of the glass. He didn’t know why, but felt very warm. The anger that lasted from morning suddenly disappeared.

Akti brought out a bucket of water with a mop in it. Then Mo came out with a basin of water.

Gu Weiyi cleaned the glass, Mo mopped the floor, and Ak wipped the furniture, everyone was performing his own functions. It's really fun to work.

After a few minutes, Mo couldn’t stand the heat, especially at the neck. She really felt like that the prickly heat were coming out one by one. She hesitated for a moment and took off her coat. Let ugly be ugly. After all, she would show him a lot of ugly looks after living together.

Gu Weiyi turned his head and saw that Mo had taken off her coat. The clothes inside were very ugly. His mouth was raised. He couldn’t help feeling that he really didn’t understand the aesthetics of girls. He was trying to turn back to clean the glass while he found Mo clean the floor. because of gravity, her collar opened a little. It was just a little but it was enough for him to see the red spot. Thinking of Fu Pei's smoking on the balcony for a night last night, his good mood which had been accumulated with difficulty disappeared in a flash.

‘Situ Mo!’ Gu Weiyi threw the rag at her feet. ‘Wash the rag.’

Mo picked up the rag and looked at him strangely. Did he have endocrine disorders? She washed the rag and handed it to him. He was stunned for half a day before he took it over. Mo had no idea what was going on.

Gu Weiyi’s face was a little hot, he rubbed the glass hard. She raised her little face in the sunshine and looked at him attentively just now, causing his brain to crash for a moment... The more he lived, the more he went back. It's disgraceful enough.

‘Ak, could you help me carry the water in and change it?’ Mo tried to pick up the bucket and found it was quite heavy.

‘Oh, okay.’ Ak responded and took the bucket to the bathroom with ease.

Mo carried a mop, stood in the TV cabinet to look at Gu Weiyi, who was cleaning the glass. His side face was really beautiful. It was like a fine brushwork which was painted by stroke. His eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth were exquisite and handsome. The muscles of the arm protruded with force, and a few droplets of water hung on it, glittering slightly in the sunshine, Mo was flabbergasted.

‘Mo, the water is ready.’ Ak lifted the water out.

‘Oh, thank you.’ Mo restrained the beating heart.

‘Situ Mo, you go to clean the ground in the room first.’ Gu Weiyi said suddenly.

‘Why?’ Mo didn’t know what’s the matter. ‘The living room is almost done.’

‘We kept walking in the living room and soon it got dirty again.’ Gu Weiyi said.

Mo thought it was true, ‘You should have said it earlier, making me mop so long.’

‘I'll carry the water for you.’ Ak picked up the water and ran inside.

Mo looked at his back admiringly. What a hard-working boy he was.

Gu Weiyi twisted the water off the mop and was suddenly irritated, causing him not want to see her or stay in the same space with her. Moreover, she looked like she didn't know anything and she had always looked at Ak with worshipful eyes, which made him even more angry.

At noon, Gu Weiyi went out to buy the box lunches. When he came back, he saw Mo and Ak studying how he could have wiped the glass so clean that flies would crash to death. Without noticing his cold face, Mo asked foolishly what to eat, and was choked with a ‘Can’t you see by yourself!’ Ak was the poorest one, who opened the box lunch and found that there was all what he didn't like to eat. He didn't dare say much, and had no option but to eat.

‘Hey, Ak, is he always so eccentric?’ Mo asked Ak in a low voice.

Ak looked up at Gu Weiyi, raised the box lunch to covered his mouth and whispered, ‘No, I don't know what happened to him today.’

Mo imitated him to hold her box lunch high, ‘What should we do then?’ I'm almost frozen to death by him.’

‘Eat quickly.’ Gu Weiyi said gloomily. Just a lunch, why did these two people get so close?

Mo and Ak looked at each other, bowed their heads and ate like mad.

Afternoon passed in a rush, Mo and Ak had a very happy life while Gu Weiyi didn’t, with a low-pressure center. Mo found that Ak was shy but would be fun after amused. Ak found that Mo was very bold, and not finicky. The two people become good friends after brief contact, even wanted to have a blood league.

When the house was ready, it was already over 9 o’clock. Gu Weiyi and Ak sent Mo to the dormitory downstairs together. Mo saw the last person she wanted to see from afar. She hid behind Gu Weiyi and tugged at his clothes, saying, ‘Call Fu Pei and let him go.’

Gu Weiyi pulled her out from behind. ‘Why?’

Mo was afraid of being seen, she turned to run. Gu Weiyi took her, ‘Where are you going?’

‘Call him to go.’ Mo insisted.

Gu Weiyi pulled out his phone from his pocket and while Ak stopped him. ‘Let me call.’

Understanding that, Gu Weiyi put the phone back in his pocket. Ak began to dial the phone, and Mo hid behind a tree. Gu Weiyi had to hide with her. Instead, he wanted to laugh a bit. How should they act like having a love affair stealthily?

‘What are you laughing at?’ Mo saw his laugh and was a little dissatisfied.

Gu Weiyi shrugged his shoulders, ‘What happened to you and Fu Pei?’

Mo didn’t know where to start, so she had to say, ‘It's as long as a piece of cloth. Don’t mention this person in front of me in the future, which would be enough. Oh, by the way, when will you move in?

Gu Weiyi didn’t inquire, but said, ‘I haven't thought about it yet.’ Actually he would move in in two days. After all, Fu Pei had been bothering him lately. He was very irritated. Fu Pei just swept his phone off his desk two days ago.

Mo kept silent for a moment, she wanted to move in quickly. First, she didn't want Fu Pei to find her. Second, if Wang Shan stood by her bed every night, she would be sent to the psychiatric hospital in three days. Besides, she was going to start her internship soon. It would be a little closer to live there. But the owner of the house hadn’t lived in yet. She couldn’t steal the show.

‘I may move in two days, though.’ Gu Weiyi seemed to see through her idea. ‘You can move at any time. Just tell me when you need help. I won't tell Fu Pei the address unless you say it yourself.’

‘Great.’ Mo smiled with ease. She seemed to be about to enter a new life, which would be a new one without Fu Pei.

‘I managed to fool Fu Pei away, you go up quickly.’ Ak came running.

‘Thank you.’ Mo rushed to the dormitory building and waved back to them before going upstairs. She really appreciated them for just helping her so simply, without asking the reason. They were all pure and kind people.
