Chapter 22

Mo was sent to other places for training for more than a week. During this period, Gu Weiyi had made a phone call to confirm her safe arrival at the destination on the first day, and had never contacted her again. It's Fu Pei's message that never stopped. Every time she received one, she just deleted it directly.

Mo was quite disappointed. She could guess more or less that Gu Weiyi might a little bit like her and the same did she. Otherwise, who would let him hold her hand! And how could she be so decisive to Fu Pei! The fastest way to forget one person is to think about another one. That's the reason why Mo was depressed, wouldn't he be playing a reckless trick with her? She was not sure, after all, he and Fu Pei are so good friends. Brothers are bodies while women are clothes. Although she despised such a metaphor, it was not clear whether Gu Weiyi would choose to break bodies or take off clothes.

What Mo'd learned this week was driving her crazy. After all, difference in profession makes one feel worlds apart. Advertis.e.m.e.nt was not her major. She was very confused, but she had to think about the fact that Gu Weiyi didn't call her, which made her get more angry with him.

Here she lived in the dormitory of the company headquarters, the environment was very good. It was said that the branch company she belonged to also had staff dormitories, the environment was good as well, and that after the correction, she could choose to live in company dormitories or receive housing subsidies. Her first reaction to the news was how much the subsidy would be. Such a good for nothing. Thinking that she was about going back tomorrow, she took her phone and failed to call Gu Weiyi several times. She simply turned it off to pack her luggage.

She got on the plane the next morning, falling asleep for two hours, and returned home by car for another hour. Opening the door, the house was quiet, she shouted a few words but n.o.body answered. Suddenly, she felt uncomfortable, took her luggage back to her room and slammed the door hard to sleep.

When Gu Weiyi dragged his tired body home, he saw Situ Mo's shoes on the rack at first sight, his mouth raised. She'd came back? He quickly changed his slippers and rushed to her door and knocked on it, ‘Situ Mo, Situ Mo.'

‘What's wrong?' Her voice was m.u.f.fled.

Gu Weiyi, ‘Are you sleeping?'

‘Yes.'

‘Come out.'

‘No, I'm sleepy.'

Gu Weiyi knocked harder at the door: ‘Don't sleep, come out!'

Mo flipped the quilt off the bed angrily and opened the door vigorously: ‘Are you crazy? I said I was sleepy!

Gu Weiyi was amused by her bird's nest, he reached out and rubbed it more disorderly: ‘Have you eaten explosives?'

Mo was very dissatisfied with his att.i.tude, turned her head and said, ‘What on earth did you ask me to get up for?'

He still laughed, ‘What's wrong? Who made you so angry?'

She was not attacked by his words, and said, ‘n.o.body, I'm just sleepy'

He didn't take it seriously: ‘Change your clothes, I'll take you to eat something delicious.'

Mo turned a white eye, ‘I'm not hungry. I'm back to bed.'

‘Hey.' Don't be so disgraceful. I have good news for you.

Mo had wanted to be temperamental and say that your good news was none of my business, but she didn't say it at all, just dragged herself to change clothes reluctantly.

Gu Weiyi took her to a western restaurant. The atmosphere was quite romantic, making Mo's heart beat a little slowly. Especially when Mo ordered the most expensive set meal on the menu, he still smiled wildly, which made her think that he was ready to make a confession, so her heart just beat like a drum. Who would have thought that brother Gu began to tell her how dark and sobbing he had been doing experiments in the laboratory with the professor in the past week. Although the topic was boring and roundabout, she had guessed that he was explaining to her why he hadn't called her this week. Even though the explanation was too unlovely and circuitous, he managed to recover Mo's good mood from his clumsy explanation. But when on earth will he get to the point? She had listened for half an hour to the Electron Ion Light Energy, Electric Energy and Mechanical Energy...

‘Gu Weiyi' Mo shook her fork. ‘Didn't you say there's good news?'

It seemed that he had just remembered, ‘My supervisor took my graduation experiment report to partic.i.p.ate in the Provincial University Students' graduation design contest, and won the first prize.'

Mo didn't quite understand the meaning of the prize, had to say, ‘ Sounds like a great deal.'

Gu Weiyi shrugged his shoulders and said, ‘I was escorted to my graduate school and offered by the Provincial Academy of Sciences. I've also got the enrollment notice of MIT that I applied last semester.'

Now she understood. Academy of Sciences! MIT! He's not very good. He's an unbeatable! It was unexpected that the man who flipped through magazines every day on the sofa at home is a legendary scientist... After meeting a living star, she had created another peak in her life - to know a living scientist and live together with him!

MIT? This school is a G.o.dlike school for any student! What kind of human was he? How could he get its enrollment notice! Mo felt a sudden increase of halo on his head and could not help admiring him. After a long time of wors.h.i.+p, she remembered that MIT was in the United States, that is to say, he was going abroad? Suddenly, Mo's good mood disappeared, so she squeeze a smile and asked him, ‘Sure enough, congratulations, that... Which one are you going to?

Gu Weiyi shook his head: ‘I haven't thought about it yet.'

‘Oh.' Mo bowed her head and cut the steak.

Gu Weiyi looked at her and tentatively asked, ‘What do you think?'

Mo paused with her knife and fork, looked up and smiled. ‘Come on, MIT, if this school wants me, I'm going to float over even I'm dead.'

Gu Weiyi nodded his head, with disappointment flashed in the eyes

How did she finish the meal in the second half? She could not remember it at all. Probably she had chewed and swallowed the steak. It was a pity that the steak was so expensive.

It rained heavily the next morning. Raindrops clattered against the gla.s.s, making Mo so anxious in her sleep that she finally woke up from the dream. She leaned against the bed and tried to recall the fragments of her dream. She was in a trance, as if there were Gu Weiyi and Statue of Liberty, or Gu Weiyi was painted green and turned to Statue of Liberty? She patted her head, got out of bed and opened the door. As soon as she left the door, she saw Gu Weiyi standing in front of the window of living room with his back facing her. It seemed that he was watching the rain. So sentimental... Mo hesitated for a moment, and finally stood and looked at him.

Gu Weiyi stayed awake all night, though he had some confidence in his mind, he still hesitated. n.o.body could tell what would happen in the future. Went or not, regretted or not, he imagined the whole night and thought about all the possible ideas. When it began to rain in the morning, he simply got up to make tea and watch the rain. It was really rare for him to be so sentimental. He turned his gla.s.s and looked up at the window. How long was she going to stand in the back?

Mo blinked her eyes, sighing in her heart. The rain was rippling outside the window. Whose juvenile would he be? She swallowed the choke down her throat and turned around.

Gu Weiyi took a sip of tea, which was a little cold. The corner of his eye caught sight of her turning around, he called her, ‘Situ Mo.'

Mo took back her feet that had stepped out, turned around, ‘Uh huh?'

He turned around as well, smiled and said, ‘Come here.'

Mo approached Gu Weiyi slowly. He handed her the cup. She was stunned and took it, ‘What's wrong?'

Gu Weiyi just laughed. Suddenly he reached out and held her in his arms. ‘So I'll be free to hold you.'

Mo crashed into his chest and her mind was blank. A moment later, she hesitated and said, ‘ What do you mean…by that?

Gu Weiyi let go of her, stepped back, bent down and looked at her, ‘You still want to pretend to be silly?'

Mo turned her head away from his eyes and said, ‘I don't know what you're talking about.'

He pulled her head, insisted on looking at her, ‘I like you, I want to be together with you. Now you know what I'm talking about?'

Mo's eyes flickered and twinkled, but just did not follow him, ‘Oh.'

‘Oh'? What's the answer? Gu Weiyi was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he had expressed love to a girl, he lacked practical experience and didn't know how to deal with such an answer at all. He had to ask, ‘What do you mean?'

Mo bowed her head and said, ‘I don't know.'

Gu Weiyi was apparently quite dissatisfied with the answer, ‘What do you mean to have said you didn't? Who else would know if you don't?'

She was at a loss what to do in the question, put up the tea in her hand and drank it in a hurry, coughing incessantly.

Gu Weiyi patted her on the back and suddenly raised his eyebrows and laughed, ‘Aren't you shy?'

Mo straightened up, drew his hand away, and said angrily, ‘Who is shy? You, who confessed, haven't be shy, why should I be?

He laughed and rubbed her hair. ‘Well, tell me the answer now that you're not shy.'

Mo dodged and said stiffly, ‘No!'

Gu Weiyi was nervous, ‘You mean don't not be together with me or don't tell me the answer?'

‘Ah?' Mo blinked her big eyes, ‘Give me some time to think about it.'

‘How long?'

‘How long for what?'

‘How long it would take for you to think?'

Mo thought about it and reached out two fingers: ‘Two weeks.'

Gu Weiyi clapped her hand. ‘Two weeks? Would you just say two years? No, two days at most.'

‘Two days are too short.' Mo tugged at the hem of his clothes. ‘One week.'

‘No, two days or two hours, it's up to you!' Gu Weiyi looked sideways at her hand hanging his hem.

Mo stared at him: ‘Now give you the answer, I don't want to be together with you.'

Gu Weiyi also stared at her, and they instantly presented the scene in the cartoon - the gaze of long and short legs.

Eventually, when both eyes were about to be out of the orbit, Gu Weiyi gritted his teeth and said, ‘One week, one week.'

Mo smiled proudly and stuffed the cup back to him, ‘Take your time to enjoy the rain. I'm going to brush my teeth and wash my face.'
