Chapter 29

Early in the morning, Situ Mo knocked blindly at the door, making Gu Weiyi very angry. Last night, he helped her do the graduation album until two o'clock last night. It took another half an hour to listen to her complaining about the company's creative department that how startling the slogan was…It's just six o'clock now, and he had just slept about three hours. It's not that fun to think about chronic murder.

Mo knocked on the door for a long time without any response. She said, ‘I'm coming in?’ then opened the door to get in. Gu Weiyi laid in bed, his head was covered by the quilt, as straight as a corpse. She went to pull the quilt, but he pulled it so tight that she could only see Gu Weiyi’s head after a long deadlock. He held the quilt in one hand and moaned with his eyes covered by the other, ‘My aunt, why are you bothering me early in the morning?’

Mo broke off his hand which was covering his eyes and coaxed him, ‘Get up, I'll make breakfast for you.’

‘No!’

‘I'll grind soybean milk for you.’ Ever since she became the owner at home, she hid the soya-milk machine which like a corpse crusher.

‘No!’

Mo took his hand and shook it, Hey, get up and I’ll make breakfast for you.’

Gu Weiyi was so annoyed that he sat up and shouted, ‘Situ Mo! What are you doing?'

Mo laughed and combed his sleeping hair with her hands. ‘Get up, let's clean the house. I have an appointment with Meng Lu and Hu Niu to play at home today.’

Gu Weiyi squinted and groaned, ‘Are you crazy? Get up at six to clean the house. Are you hosting the chief of state?’

Mo was still happy, ‘It’s a chance for you to meet my friends, to give you a proper name.’

Gu Weiyi dozed off with his head askew, and his speech is vague, ‘Haven’t seen them all?’

‘That's not the same. You identity has been different.’ Mo had been explaining for a long moment and felt bored. She threatened, ‘Get up or not, if you don’t get up, I’ll tell them not to come and you won't see them anymore! ‘

‘Yes.’ He rubbed his eyes and compromised, ‘When are they coming?’

‘Ten o'clock.’

‘Ten o'clock?’ Gu Weiyi raised his tone, ‘You get up at six o'clock to prepare?’

Mo looked at her watch and said, ‘It’s not six o'clock, It's half past six. We have to clean the house, buy food and cook. We need to feed them as soon as they come.’

He had no choice, ‘Couldn’t we go out to eat?’

Mo refused righteously, ‘No, I promised to cook for them.’

He muttered as he got out of bed, ‘Why didn’t you care that much about me? Cook for them, ha?’

Mo folded the quilt for him, ‘How could that be the same? I have four years of revolutionary affection with them, and you are too young.’

Gu Weiyi got angry, turned around to pressed her into bed. His nose pointed at her’s, ‘Say it again?’

She hastened to beg for mercy, ‘Gu Weiyi, it’s my fault, you and I are have most tenacious revolutionary feelings.’

Gu Weiyi was amused by her, ‘If you say a few more good words, let go of you.’

She was very cooperative, ‘Brother Gu, uncle Gu, ancestor Gu, let me get up, it's not easy to talk.’

But he was not cooperative, ‘Girl, then don't say anything, laugh at your uncle first?’

Mo was amused. She did grinned foolishly and naively.

His heart beat a little faster, such a woman had been sent to his bed early in the morning, and laughed so beautifully, the focus of which was that she was his girlfriend, legitimately he should…

Bang! Gu Weiyi fell from bed to the ground.

Mo felt puzzled, turned over to see him who was lying on the ground rubbing his buttocks. She asked inexplicably, ‘Why did you suddenly jump up? Are you ok?

Mo stood high, half hung on the bed and leaned over to look at him. The collar of her clothes was open because of gravity. Gu Weiyi laid low, looking impartially into her collar. What a radiant and enchanting scene!

Mo asked twice ‘Are you ok?’ without receiving any response. She looked back at herself in his eyes and jumped up screaming, ‘Wolf!’ She pulled a pillow and smashed it down. Gu Weiyi leaned over and avoided it, ‘Hey, I didn't mean to do that either.’

Mo didn’t care whether intentionally or unintentionally, she chased him all over the house until he begged for mercy, ‘Little girl, your uncle was wrong, or else, your uncle will give you a laugh?’

They went out to buy food at more than nine o'clock after tossing about for a long time, so all the way to the market, she had kept sighing that she really had foresight. However, when they arrived at the market, there were still many things to worry about. Scientist Gu fully exerted his rigorous scientific spirit in the market. Fish needed to have the most obvious signs of life, vegetables needed to have the least residual chemicals, meat needed to be pure natural without preservatives. Don't ask him how did he identify it. He just looked at it with his eyes and smelled it. It's the level of anti-drug dogs. Mo and he went around the market to buy the ingredients for cooking. She received a phone call from Hu Niu saying that she had arrived at the bus station as soon as she went back to the downstairs of home. She threw the ingredients to Gu Weiyi and rushed to the station to pick up her.

As soon as Hu Niu and Meng Lu entered the neighborhood, they clamored that even if Mo’s adopted, it's about that level. So they asked her to settle down on the future Nobel laureates. When they got excited, Hu Niu even said that she would help them find a mentor to set their date. Mo was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. She could only warn them not to talk at random after entering the door and not to portray her as a hungry and thirsty woman who needed an urgent marriage.

However, as soon as they entered the door, they completely forget Mo’s warning and desperately try to sell Mo to Gu Weiyi. At first, they talked seriously about what is suitable for living, and that Mo’s graceful in the drawing room and skillful in the kitchen. At last, they even said, ‘Mo’s figure is really good, gourd-shaped,******** will definitely give birth to babies and feed them in the future...’ Mo heard with cold sweat, pulled Gu Weiyi into the kitchen to cook, leaving them in the living room to watch TV with melon seeds.

Mo said to Gu Weiyi while cutting tomatoes, ‘They love to talk nonsense. Don't listen to them.’

Gu Weiyi washed the food carefully and asked casually, ‘Which one?’

Mo turned her eyes, ‘All!’

He looked at her and snickered, ‘After my morning check-up, I don't think that ‘gourd-shaped’ is nonsense.’

Mo’s mouth twitched, and resisted the impulse of throwing the kitchen knife to him. It’s inappropriate to create a murder when there are guests at home.

The kitchen was at loggerheads, while the living room was full of joy.

Hu Niu and Meng Lu had been in a good mood for happy events recently, and kept making endless noises. It was unknown who started it, they began to throw melon seeds at each other. The more they played, the more exciting they got. They even jumped around and screamed, soon the living room was filled of melon seeds. Mo came out to take a room. She almost fainted when she saw the scene. Gu Weiyi was a clean freak, he would be nagging with her feet on the sofa. But now, the living room is full of lemon seeds, how angry would he be?

While Mo was worrying, a handful of melon seeds hit her face and fell from her forehead to be scattered on the ground. Mo got angry, she rushed over to grab a handful of melon seeds and shouted, ‘You two goblins! get ready for your death!’ She threw the melon seeds to their heads and faces. They were chasing each other around the house. Meng Lu stopped suddenly and laughed guiltily at the kitchen. Mo and Hu Niu turned to look at the kitchen. Gu Weiyi was leaning against the kitchen door and looking at them with a faint smile, nobody knew how long he had been watching.

Mo looked back at the damaged living room, swallowed and tried to say something. Gu Weiyi came over and picked up her collar. He laughed at the other two and said, ‘Take your time, but she ran away without finishing the cooking, I’ll take her back to the kitchen.’

Meng Lu waved indifferently, ‘Take her away, your wife is too aggressive, we are not her countworkers.’

Gu Weiyi hugged his fist, ‘Thanks a lot!’

When they entered the kitchen, Mo observed the expression of Gu Weiyi for a long time, and came to the conclusion that he had no expression. She thought about explaining it, so she said, ‘They're crazy, and they'll clean up later.’

Gu Weiyi flicked her head, ‘Let the guests clean up? Aren’t you ashamed?’

Mo rubbed over and held him in the arm, ‘Don't you get angry? Your cleanliness was not offended?’

He flicked her head again, ‘It’s a group of friends, I have to do a good job, and wait for them to clear my name, how dare I be angry?’

Mo loosened his hand and ran far away, ‘Well, then, put up a good show. Don't always flick my forehead. It will make me foolish.’

It was not easy for Meng Lu and Hu Niu to enjoy their meals on the table. They commanded Gu Weiyi confidently. However, Gu Weiyi's behaved properly to improve his character today, and had done everything they asked, such as buying food, drinks, and poker cards. Moreover, he did everything with a smile. Mo was stunned, why hadn’t she enjoyed such a treatment?

Gu Weiyi went out to buy poker cards while Mo, Meng Lu and Hu Niu were chatting on the sofa.

‘Mo, I think Gu Weiyi is all right, at least more reliable than Fu Pei.’ Meng Lu said as she cracked melon seeds.

Hu Niu kicked her with her feet. ‘All right? It's absolutely superb.’ And then turned to Mo to have a discussion, ‘How about I change my boyfriend with yours?’

Mo stared at her, ‘No, I can't get along with him.’

Meng Lu cut in and said, ‘Mo, did you really let him go to America?’

Mo’s most sensitive spot was touched, she could do nothing but nod her head.

Meng Lu consoled her, ‘Yeah, you can't do anything that misleads people's future. If the worst comes to the worst, you can wait for him for two years. Two years later, you’ll become the birds of the same forest that have undergone a severe test. Nothing could break your relationship then.’

Hu Niu looked worried about the country and the people, ‘In my view, his appearance, would be popular everywhere. Take care and in case he is taken away by others. I think it's better to get the marriage certificate, and you’d better be with him when having time.’

Mo and Meng Lu looked at each other and were speechless. Since this vixen decided to go to the tomb of marriage, she had been nagging, and she had wished everyone could be like her all day long that everyone could sing military songs, kick and walk forward into the battlefield of marriage.

A group of people spent the afternoon playing cards and playing ears. Meng Lu and Hu Niu were shameless and dishonest. Mo couldn’t stand that while Gu Weiyi was very calm. Sure enough, after one afternoon, Gu Weiyi kept winning while Mo didn’t. Meng Lu and Hu Niu had been accompanying guests, watching Mo being flicked on her ears.

After dinner, they offered to leave, fearing that they might miss the bus.

Mo failed to detain, so she sent them to the station with Gu Weiyi.

Before leaving, Hu Niu said solemnly to Gu Weiyi, ‘We are quite satisfied with your performance today, and we officially handed her over to you. Besides, you have performed so well that we decided to tell you a hearsay. Mo’s ears are very sensitive, take advantage of that.’ After that, these two ran away quickly. Mo tried to chase and hit them, but was stopped by Gu Weiyi. May be that’s what making friends carelessly had meant.
