Chapter 42
Alex
also tried to say something, looking at Gu Weiyi’s face, then gave up, Swiss,
like peace and neutrality, then hurried into his room.
They
were the only ones left in the living room. Mo laughed quietly and felt
embarrassed. She always thought impure. She had seen this person without
clothes. This person had also seen her without clothes. It's really impossible
to talk seriously. So human beings still needed to wear clothes, no matter how
hot it was, just wear them.
Gu
Weiyi picked up the remote control and pressed the TV and said, ‘Are you regretful?’
The
endless question stunned Mo, and she looked at him silently.
Her
silence seemed tacit to him, so the clever scientist had no choice but to ask, ‘What
do you want?’
Mo
wondered, what do you want? He had said he would take her out today? Then she
said, ‘I want to go out.’
Chinese
language had always dominated the world with its rich color and meaning. For
example, rainy days, detaining days, god detains while I don’t.
So
it seemed to Gu Weiyi that Situ Mo could not bear him and wanted to leave. ‘No,’
he said angrily.
Mo
changed from wonder to depression. What's the matter now? Did he make a fuss
when he had got her? She tried to quarrel with him, but she had to look into
his eyes when quarrelling with him. What she couldn't do now was look into his
eyes. As soon as she glanced at him, she would feel that they were so deep, so
charming, so fantastic and so fascinating.
So
Mo chose the cold war. Anyway, it's a good game for her.
Gu
Weiyi really hated the cold war. Sometimes he really wanted to split Mo’s head
to see if there was something wrong with that part of her brain and why didn't she
talk.
It
was Mo’s stomach that broke the deadlock.
In
silence, Mo’s stomach muttered a few times. She caressed her stomach sadly and
said, ‘Son, mother knows you're hungry, bear with it.’
This
was Mo’s own humour and sorrow, however as soon as she spoke the words, a
thunderbolt fell into their heads.
After
looking at each other, Gu Weiyi tentatively asked, ‘I go to buy some medicine?’
Mo
stared at him, ‘Of course you go to buy it, am I going to buy it?’
He
asked carefully, ‘Which brand to buy?’
Mo
grabbed the pillow from the sofa and smashed him, ‘How could I know!’
Gu
Weiyi was foolishly smashed into a solid, he said while walking outside the
door, ‘Well, then I'll buy it?’
Twenty
minutes later, Gu Weiyi came back with a bag of food and a bag of medicine.
Mo
went to turn over the bag of medicine. They were all in English. She grabbed a
bottle and screwed it open to eat. Gu Weiyi grabbed it to see and said, ‘This
is gastric medicine.’
She
grabbed another pot of medicine and opened it, ‘Why did you buy gastric medicine?’
He
grabbed it again and said, ‘Cold medicine.’
Mo
understood, the man had bought every kind of medicine in the pharmacy.
So
she spread out her hands and said, ‘Find out the medicine for me.’
He
took out two small pills after a while. Mo saw a box of legendary condoms
buried at the bottom of the bag. She grabbed them and stared at him, ‘What is
this?’
Somebody
bowed his head, blushed and looked pure, hanging his clothes in his hands and
said, ‘I don’t know either.’
Mo’s
stomach tumbled and she could not help but throw her pillow to him.
Gu
Weiyi laughed away, handed over another bag and said, ‘Eat something before
taking medicine.’
So
they made up again.
Sometimes
Gu Weiyi wondered how he could always make trouble with Situ Mo when he clearly
had an old head on young shoulders.
Gu
Weiyi took Mo to school in the morning and met many students who were
interested in this mini Oriental girl. He took her around formally and left in
a hurry. At noon, they went to a restaurant for lunch, and Situ Mo kept
clamoring that she could not eat any more, so they went back to the dormitory
after eating casually. When they were watching TV together, suddenly Situ Mo
jumped up and rushed to the toilet. He was shocked and followed her. She
retched with the toilet and turned pale.
Gu
Weiyi asked, ‘What's wrong with you?’ The voice shook a little.
Mo
waved her hands but could not speak.
After
she had calmed down a little, he hugged her and rushed to the hospital. She
leaned askew against him in the taxi, squinting and frowning, her face was blue
and white. For the first time in his life, he regretted that he had not chosen
a medical department.
When
she entered the hospital, the nurse was shocked by two young people with pale
faces. She thought it was drug use or food poisoning, and arranged the
examination quickly. As a result, Situ Mo had only responded to the
contraceptive. Finally, the doctor gave Situ Mo an antiemetic injection.
Back
into the dormitory, Gu Weiyi put Situ Mo on the bed and wrapped her with the
quilt layer by layer. She had no spirit at first, let him toss and turn. When she
felt better, she struggled to roll out of the quilt hill, comforting him with
wrinkled eyebrows and pale face, ‘I'm much better, don't worry about me.’
That
evening, Gu Weiyi put his arm around Situ Mo, buried his head behind her neck
and said sullenly, ‘Situ Mo, shall we get married?’
Mo
realized that he was really frightened today. She patted him on the back and
comforted him by saying, ‘Okay, do it tomorrow.’
His
voice was still muffled and his lips were slightly sticking behind her ears,
complaining, ‘You're perfunctory with me.’
She
laughed, ‘You found it.’
He
bit her ear angrily, and she laughed while hiding and begged for mercy, ‘It's
itchy. I'm wrong.’
He
slowly turned his bite into a kiss, inch by inch, but finally stopped and
pressed himself on her for breath.
Mo
did not understand his sudden stop but had no face to ask. She just pushed him who
was against her and said, ‘You're heavy.’
He
lifted himself up slightly with his elbow, but still sticked to her body, his
eyes burning at her, his voice was hoarse and low, ‘I'm sorry, marry me.’
This
endless apology, Mo was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered a Korean
opera called ‘Sorry, I Love You’, and then laughed low.
Gu
Weiyi was a real man, but someone was a real maliciousness. He was so angry
that he kissed warmly again until Situ Mo was out of breath and begged for
mercy and said, ‘Okay, okay, I’ll marry you as long as you ask me to do.’
Later,
Mo pillowed his arm and went to sleep, listening in a daze to what he was
nagging and not letting her take contraceptives any more or anything.
The
next day, Mo was tossed about by Gu Weiyi when she was asleep. She was so
sleepy that she refused to open her eyes. He changed her clothes and made some
breakfast for her, and then stuffed her who was half asleep into the car. She fell
asleep in the car again.
When
she was woken up again, they were in front of a church. Mo woke up in an
instant and stared at Gu Weiyi and asked, ‘What are we doing here?’
Gu
Weiyi said calmly, ‘Marry.’
Mo
trembled and said, ‘I, I believe in Buddhism.’
He
ignored her nonsense and dragged her inside.
Mo
screamed, ‘I'm not going to get married! I want to wear wedding gown and marry
beautifully! ‘
It
was a matter of expediency, but Gu Weiyi stopped and made a phone call. Half an
hour later Alex appeared in front of them and brought her several wedding gowns.
She picked out one confusedly. Then she was dragged away by a sudden woman to
make up. Then she mumbled to the priest, ‘Yes, I do.’
Alex,
who was always smiling, took out a pair of rings and put them into each other's
hands. He leaned in her ear and said, ‘Wife, I love you.’
Mo’s
eyes were red, alas, so she married herself.
The
morning light, the colorful auditorium, the smiling priest, the slightly
out-of-tune Wedding March, the red-eyed bride, the smiling groom, the white
veil of the bride dragged long on the ground, one corner of which was stepped
on the groom's feet, the black dress of the groom was tailored to fit, but the
leather shoes under his feet were obviously a yard large. ... Although it was not
a perfect dream, it was like the soft focus lens in the film, dizzily open in
the heart, shallow warmth.
In
less than a morning, they had accomplished the great thing in life. Sometimes Mo’s
mind would be short-circuited. After sitting in the car for a while, she moved her
hand which was crossed by Gu Weiyi’s and said, ‘Are we really married? Is it
legal?’
Gu
Weiyi leaned over and kissed her on the forehead and said, ‘Yes, it's legal.’
Alex
whistled as he drove.
Mo
thought to herself: Forget it. And when it's over, she kissed him, and said, ‘I'm
really crow-mouthed, casually said I’m your wife, I’ve really become your wife.’
He
just laughed, didn't speak, and squeezed the hand they were holding.
Mo’s
eyes burst into tears again. That's it. With this person, she's going through a
lifetime of storms and rains.
In
the afternoon, Mo followed Gu Weiyi to class. They hid in the last row of the
classroom. Gu Weiyi took notes very attentively while Mo slept very
attentively. He occasionally stopped to look at her sleeping with her mouth
open. It's a pity that they hadn’t go to the same university, otherwise, he could
live four years of pure university life with her like this.
After
class, Gu Weiyi woke her up and led her back.
At
noon, they went shopping for a while. Gu Weiyi bought her a lovely nightgown.
He had tried to buy a silk nightgown, but Mo thought it was like wearing nothing.
She despised his bad taste and chose a nightgown with Doraemon on it.
In
the evening, when Gu Weiyi was writing a report, Mo hummed and turned over a
magazine on her bed. It's a fashion magazine she forced Gu Weiyi to buy
downstairs. Fashion magazine had a special feature that she could watch the
pictures without reading the words.
Mo’s
hand suddenly stopped, and a very serious question came to her mind: Uh, how should
she tell her family when she return home? Saying that she went abroad and got
married? Hmm, interesting.
So
she closed the book and called, ‘Gu Weiyi.’
‘Yes?’
‘How
should we talk to our family?’
‘Any
way.’ The serious person's head was not raised, obviously perfunctory.
Mo
felt unhappy, flew the magazine over and hit him on the back, ‘I want to
divorce.’
Gu
Weiyi still did not raise his head, ‘Never mind, we haven’t registered in China
anyway.’
...
As
Gu Weiyi wrote, he suddenly felt uncomfortable. It was so quiet that he looked
back. Situ Mo sat on the edge of the bed with her hands over her face and her
shoulders trembling.
He
threw down his pen and ran to crouch in front of her, forcefully broke off her
hand. He had thought that with her ghostly personality, she might be smiling
with her face covered, but no, it was full of tears.
Then, after the ghost story incident, Gu Weiyi was once again surprised by Situ Mo's tears.
