After three days in Clearwater Township, they were basically busy from morning to night, without a single moment of free time, with all sorts of files to organize and categorize. The higher-ups planned to merge Qingshui Town into the next town, thus they came this year just in time for the busiest period. On this night, the students had just put down the work in their hands when someone came over to inform them that there would be a dinner gathering in the large cafeteria in the evening.
It was hot, nearly 40 degrees every day, and they basically hadn’t eaten anything in the past few days. This will hear the news of gathering dinner can not help but excited a few points.
Jane Mo and her classmates went late, when they went over, there were two seats left at the leader’s table. The two girls how to go to sit there. She just wanted to ask the waiter to add a seat at the other table, when the leader’s table over there asked them to go over.
“Don’t worry too much, just act like you’re at home.” The mayor said with a smile.
That student pulled her hand, a hand of moistening. Jane Mo pulled the corner of her mouth towards her, in fact, she herself was no better, Zhong Yu sat beside her, she even felt that this was deliberately arranged by him.
Jane Mo can see, this table of people are all deliberately and carefully watching Zhong Yu act. The waiter sent two bottles of white wine, Zhong Yu said with a smile, “There are students in, wine will be exempted.”
The mayor and secretary laughed and said, “Yes, today all change juice it.”
Jane Mo belabored, it really is a class characteristic.
Zhong Yu personally poured her a glass of orange juice, Jane Mo did not say anything.
A meal was tasteless, she was never used to eating with such people, it was too tiring. Originally a simple matter of eating a meal, but more than a lot of hidden turbulence.
After the meal, she and the classmates followed the opportunity to slip away.
On the way back to the hotel, Jian Mo specially went to a snack bar, just paid the money, and saw Zhong Yu walking in her direction.
“Not full?” He looked at the cold skin noodles in her hand with a few smiles at the corners of his mouth.
After coming here, she realized that she wasn’t so much repulsed by him. The Zhong Yu she knew seemed to have returned, the concentration, the indifference when he was working, were all familiar to her from back then.
“Give me one too.” Zhong Yu said, “I saw you eating quite happily in the office the other day.”
Jian Mo was surprised, when did he go to their office.
“I was just passing by at work.” He seemed to have guessed what was going on in her mind in general.
Two people each carrying cold skin noodles back to walk, the night returned to quiet, there is no traffic here, no neon lights, occasional insects chirping birds. Jane Mo watched the shadows of the people in front of her entangled, she did not trace the bias outward.
At this time a motorcycle suddenly passed by her, Zhong Yu pulled over her hand, “I don’t know
know the danger?” His face was sullen. She was about to walk out onto the main road just to separate herself from herself?
Jane Mo heart a cold war, the hand of the cold skin noodles have fallen to the ground, he looked at her eyes contain repressed anger, Jane Mo without trace want to draw back the hand, Zhong Yu dead grip. He suddenly made a force Jane Mo let out a cry of surprise, he has half embraced her, “Do not move, your classmates in the back.”
Jane Mo was angry and worried, she gritted her teeth, but she was not willing.
“Jane Mo, is your heart made of stone? What exactly should I do so that you can let go of everything in your heart.”
He spoke softly, each word gently hitting her already hard and stubborn heart, as if there was a crunching sound and something cracked.
As the cool breeze blew by, she only felt the tip of her nose sour. “Zhong Yu, we are impossible. The current me has long since stopped being already that Zhou Mo.” Jian Mo was not Zhou Mo.
To this day, she finally admitted her identity in front of him. She held back the sourness in her heart, the corners of her eyes slowly filling with a layer of moisture.
Zhong Yu gritted his teeth, his voice sighed, “Anything is possible with me. Jian Mo, listen to me for once, don’t be stubborn with me anymore, and don’t go against your heart anymore, okay?”
She leaned on his shoulder, her nostrils filled with the faint scent of his body, she raised her hand to tremble slightly, her fists slowly clenched against his chest, pushing him away little by little, “Zhong Yu, no-”
Before her words were finished, Zhong Yu immediately cut off her words, “Jian Mo, trust me.”
Trust him? Jian Mo’s dark eyes looked at him motionlessly. Zhong Yu looked at her slightly stunned, slowly curved the corners of his mouth, then picked up the cold skin noodles on the ground and threw them into the trash. On the way back, he has been pulling her hand, seems to let go a little, she will escape in general.
When she arrived at the guest house, Zhong Yu handed her her own cold skin noodles, “Don’t eat too much, or you’ll have a hard time with your stomach at night.”
Jane Mo has always been very slow in terms of feelings, she does not understand, just one night, between her and Zhong Yu seems to have changed qualitatively. She was simply powerless to fight back in general.
Zhong Yu’s eyes stayed on her face, her thoughts seemed to be drifting, Zhong Yu dissatisfiedly pinched her cheeks, “What are you thinking about?”
Jian Mo’s face brushed red and she brushed away her face, “Zhong Yu, don’t give an inch.”
Zhong Yu smiled meaningfully, she thought she still had a chance to backtrack?
Jane Mo couldn’t figure out that night, how could it have developed into such a situation? She didn’t sleep all night, and when she woke up the next day, she saw the shadows clearly visible under her eyes.
After a busy morning packing up some of the information, almost lunch
When her cell phone prompted a message, Jane Mo took it out and looked at it.
“What do you want to eat for lunch?”
Jane Mo rubbed her eyebrows feebly and returned a message: no need. I ate too much cold skin noodles and had indigestion.
She purposely inked a bit, thinking that if she ate some to go to the cafeteria, Zhong Yu Ren should also leave.
I did not expect that when she went over, that person was still there, looking at her with a smile. She and her classmates at a table, eating while carefully sizing him up, Zhong Yu picked up the cutlery ready to leave. Favorably forgetting her place, he walked over and finally stopped at her side.
“Got you some chicken wings, I have to go beforehand.” With his words, Jian Mo only felt a chill on her back.
She knew he was doing it on purpose.
Everyone finally understood at this moment.
Zhong Yu’s trip to Qing Shui Town could be described as a full return. After going back, he officially went to the city government to report, a double harvest of love and career, of course this was his own idea.
Since that night after meeting that person, Jane Mo knew he would come to her. When she returned from the “three rural”, she received a phone call, the voice is distant, obviously extremely familiar but seems to be far away across thousands of mountains.
“Mo Mo–” The familiar name buzzed in her ears.
“Hello.” She greeted slightly faintly.
“I’ll pick you up this afternoon.”
Jian Mo hooked the corner of her mouth, “Good.” He knew that since they met, he would definitely come to find her, so why should she run away. “I’ll go find you, I don’t want uncle and the others to see.”
Zhou Weiping was briefly silent and reported a place name.
When Jian Mo went over, she only reported the name, and the waiter led her in. “Miss Zhou, please wait a moment.”
Jane Mo’s brows knitted slightly.
Ten minutes later, the door to the box opened from the outside. Zhou Weiping’s footsteps were much faster than usual, and he walked over in large strides. The atmosphere of the room was a bit strange all of a sudden.
He sat down and sized up Jian Mo. After not seeing him for four years, this child was even more composed than before.
“Mo Mo-”
“Mr. Zhou.” Jian Mo faintly greeted.
Zhou Weiping’s complexion changed as he sighed in his heart, “What do you want to eat? The pastries here are very well made.”
The corner of Jian Mo’s mouth moved slightly, “What are you looking for me for?”
How could Zhou Weiping not sense her indifference towards him? This daughter was afraid that she would never forgive herself in this lifetime. He had been trying to get his daughter to let go of the knot in her heart towards herself, but
seemed to have been ineffective.
“What back to the country?” He asked helplessly.
Jian Mo was silent for a split second and snorted, looking at him with unusually calm eyes, “I’ve never left the country, what return to the country.”
Zhou Weiping’s bland face was startled, “Your mom is not ……”
Jian Mo frowned, she didn’t like him mentioning her mom, “What do you have to say straight away. Mayor Zhou, I know you’re busy.”
Zhou Weiping’s face was embarrassed, “I saw you and Zhou Zhi at the banquet the other day, and listening to Zhou Zhi, you guys got along for a while. That child I looked at is good, I’ll bring you and his parents to get together sometime.” He wanted to try to make up for this daughter, after all, she owed her too much.
“I’ve already broken up with him.” Jian Mo said coldly.
Zhou Weiping’s face was suddenly gloomy, “How can you be so nonsensical, you young people are just too rash.”
Jian Mo clenched her hand and looked at him fixedly, what qualifications did he have to lecture her? Her face was a little pale, she let out a restrained breath to hide the bitterness in her heart.
Zhou Weiping was a little regretful when he finished speaking, his tone softened, “Mo Mo, don’t remember the past, live a good life, since you’ve come back, you’ll live with dad in the future.” He looked at her lovingly and said slowly.
Jian Mo’s heart was cold, she couldn’t help but think of her mother, then she thought of the year she took off from school, her lips couldn’t help but tremble a few times, finally finding her voice, “Mr. Zhou, goodbye.”
