Chapter 10

Mo's wound was almost healed. The scabs fell down one by one like a snake molting its skin. Situ Mo felt sick when she looked at the bright red meat. Even the dormitory people were afraid to eat meat products for several days. Especially Hu Niu, who cried every day, ‘Mo, if your legs don't recover soon, your sister will have to change her name to Mao Niu instead. I have never heard the tiger will feel sick when it sees the meat.'

A few days ago, a stranger's mobile phone number sent a text message asking if she had recovered. She answered the text message and asked who it was but received nothing. So it was over.

Wang Shan and Fu Pei had been together secretly, but this time Fu Pei is different from the past. He seldom contacted Mo.  Maybe he has some scruples. Mo pretended to know nothing. Towards graduation, she was so busy looking for a job and writing graduation thesis that she didn't have the mood to think about all those things. She didn't seem to care as much about Fu Pei as she thought.

But there are some strange people in the world, such as Wang Shan. Having been as Fu Pei's secret girlfriend for two weeks, she was reluctant. She was determined to make things transparent. The first step of transparency was to inform Mo. So one night when it was dark and windy, Wang Shan stood bashfully at the end of Mo's bed: ‘Mo, I have something to tell you.'

‘Say it.' Mo gently scratched the scab on her leg with a cotton stick in her hand. It had been really itchy recently, but she couldn't scratch it.

‘I... I got together with Fu Pei.' Wang Shan whispered.

‘Oh, really, congratulations.' Mo frowned. She just used too much strength. The cotton stick stabbed the wound.

‘You... Are you all right? Wang Shan asked.

‘Me? I'm all right.'Mo looked up at Wang Shan and said, ‘But it's you who need to be careful.'

‘Ha ha, he's very kind to me.' Wang Shan hung her clothes at the corner. ‘It's great that you don't mind.'

‘Why do I mind? Seriously, don't let him bully you.'

‘No, he's really good to me.' Wang Shan skipped away with the joy of turning over from slaves to masters.

Mo shook her head while looking at her happy back. Just because Fu Pei was so good looking, many girls felt that he was innocent and kind. Even if he fed them poison, they would bow and say thank you.

Mo wanted to go to sleep after scratching her feet. She was so stirred by Wang Shan that she felt hungry. She felt her intestines wriggling like hell when lying in bed. She thought about losing weight, so Situ Mo decided to put up with it. Ten minutes later, Meng Lu came back after a date and brought back two lunch boxes of fried noodles for Hu Niu and Mo.

Mo jumped out of bed and quickly ate a box of fried noodles, then she said after having stared at another box of fried noodles for ten minutes, ‘Lu, Hu Niu should have eaten good food with her man. This noodle will be pasty after a long time.'

‘Just eat, you're hopeless.' Meng Lu rolled her eyes.

Mo cheered, and then attacked the second box of fried noodles. She was having a good meal when her cell phone rang. She took a look and found that it was Fu Pei, so she declined the call and kept on eating noodles.

The phone rang again, declined, kept ringing, declined... Having been that several times, Mo got angry. One of her hand was with chopsticks to the mouth while the other was about to shut down. But fortunately, she glanced at the phone, it was from her home. She quickly swallowed the noodle down and connected her phone.

‘Mo.' Mom's voice came.

‘Mom, why did you call me so late?'

‘Mo, listen that one of my friends' son is studying in the same city with you.'

Mo had a bad feeling. It seemed that mom wanted her to go for a blind date.

‘Did you remember Aunt Wang who bought you a doll when you was a child?'

‘No, I don't remember.' Mo said casually.

‘That's the one with a little black freckles on her face.' Mom didn't give up.

‘Which face did you mean? The aunt's or her son's?'

‘There exists such an aunt anyway. She is a good friend of mine from when we were children. She went to other places later , and now...'

‘Mom, please just say the point. My mobile phone is charged for answering the phone.' Mo interrupted.

‘Oh, well, she contacted me two days ago and said that she had just bought a house for her son, two rooms with a living room. She had been ready to let him live there after graduation. When she heard that you are also studying in X city, she enthusiastically invited you to live in the house as well.'

Mo was stunned for two seconds, did her mother let her live with a male stranger?

‘Mom -' Mo paused, ‘That's not good, is it?'

‘Are you concerned about the security?' Mother said, ‘You don't have to worry about that. Aunt Wang is a good person. The children taught by her can't be a bad person.'

‘Mom, you can't say so. You can't be so sure that the person taught by a kind man must be kind as well.' Mo said.

‘She's really kind-hearted. And as a girl, you live in an unfamiliar place, at least let someone take care of you.'

‘Mom, please have Dad on the phone. I want to talk to him.' Mo gave up reasoning with her mother.

‘I've talked to your dad about that and he asked you to make your own decisions.' Mom said.

‘Then I decided not to go.' Mo sighed.

‘If you're afraid of safety, at least meet her son first. Her son is remarkably handsome and talented, and he wouldn't do anything to you. What's more, just think that how much rent could be saved through this!'

‘Mom, this is not a blind date, isn't it?' Mo become very sensitive. She's not suspicious, but her mother really had the habit of being a matchmaker. She had helped create many couples, and this time, her daughter had become her next target.

‘What are you talking about? I just wanted to help you find a place to live. It's your parents' fault to not being able to buy a house for you. We are also distressed.'

‘Mom, I didn't mean that.' Mo had to explain. Everyone could be provoked except for the old lady who had watched ‘A Curtain of Dreams' or ‘See a Curtain of Dreams again' four times.

‘Forget it, I won't force if you don't want to.' Her mom sounded a little sad.

‘Well, I'll see him first.' Mo reluctantly agreed. Anyway, she could make up some excuses to coax her mother after seeing the boy.

‘Really? It will be at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, at the house they bought, you can also check the environment around.' Mom said.

Her mom even already made the arrangement about the time and place? As expected, the old lady was acting, she had become more and more treacherous.

‘Ok' Mo hung up. Ten minutes later, Dad sent a text message to her, telling her that she could not go if she was not willing to. The address was attached at the end of the message. Mo checked on the internet, it seemed to be in a very good community with nice environment. It seemed that the aunt was very wealthy. It might be difficult to get along with people from wealthy families. Well, that's what poor people all thought.

Mo got up at nine o'clock the next day, and dressed casually. She went to the door and then decided to change to wearing a skirt, revealing her mottled legs. Aunt Wang's son, right? Look, I will scare you with these injuries!

God's way is higher than man's.

Mo had thought that Aunt Wang's son should have the surname Wang, so she cursed him all the way and made a lot of nicknames at the beginning of the word ‘Wang' for him. Unexpectedly, the surname of Aunt Wang's son is... ugh... Gu.

Mo was stunned at the person who opened the door, with her hand still on the doorbell.

Gu Weiyi was also stunned when he opened the door and saw her, but he quickly responded, ‘Are you Aunt Su's daughter?'

‘Hmm... Yes.' Mo answered unconsciously ‘That...'

‘Stop ringing the doorbell. It's noisy.' Gu Weiyi frowned and interrupted her.

‘Oh.' Mo retracted her hand from the doorbell.

‘Come in.' He said, then turned to go inside the house.

Mo stared at the door and looked inside subconsciously, the house was still being decorated, with paints, sawdust, ceramic tiles, and newspapers everywhere. But the space was huge.

Gu Weiyi looked back at her, who was foolishly standing at the door. He hummed and hawed for a while and then said, ‘Aren't you ashamed to show your legs?'

Mo wished she could lift her skirt over her head and hesitated for a long time before her said, ‘Then... What did your mother tell you?

‘Just said that her good friend's daughter may come to live here after graduation, but I didn't expect it would be you.'

In fact, he disagreed with his mother when she told him. Later, he couldn't bear her bombing him everyday making him feel fatigue, so he reluctantly agreed to meet the girl and planned to talk about his thoughts with her after the meeting.

‘Oh, what do you think?' Mo really didn't know what to say. She didn't even figure it out it would be Gu Weiyi. It's... It's too coincidental. Although there is no story without coincidences, could she learn from First Emperor of Qin who repudiated Confucius, and burned the books?

‘I don't have any problem. It's up to you whether to live in.'

‘Oh.' Mo answered with one sentence, the small abacus in her heart began to crackle. Firstly, this fellow did not like women. Secondly, she was not ugly, but there are many people more beautiful than her, even Fu Pei would be more beautiful than her if he wore women's clothes , so absolutely she had no ability to change Gu Weiyi. Thirdly, the environment here is good, the rent would be at least 2,000 yuan. A lot of money could be saved if she lived here. Fourth, maybe she could use Gu Weiyi to give her mom generalities. Since she was graduating, and was afraid of being caught by her mom for dating. Fifthly, although Gu Weiyi looked difficult to get along, she believed absolutely that he is a good person.

‘Then... I'll have to disturb you later.' Mo decided to pick up the bargain. ‘I'll move in after graduation and please contact me if you need help with the decoration.'

‘What can you do for me?' He glanced at her. ‘You've been standing at the door for quite a long time. Do you want to visit the house or just go back if you don't want to? The workers are going to come to decorate later.'

‘Then I go back.' The host had said that. What else could she say? It's really hard to get along with.

‘Okay.'
