27. Be brave and bright, not afraid of difficulties!
Bai Yitong is far from as calm as she appears now.
After lying down on the sofa, she despised herself for being timid at the critical moment. So she searched online for various effective methods for women to chase men.
One of them happened to come across a guide about drinking milk tea together...
It's like a top student encountering the secret manual for passing a competition. He carefully read every word and every sentence for a long time, using his almost photographic memory to engrave the knowledge into his mind. He simulated the acting skills several times in his mind and made sure he understood it thoroughly.
.
He looked up at Chen Mo, lowered his head, looked up again...
After hesitating for a long while, he finally clenched his fists.
Cheer yourself up in your mind: Be brave and don’t be afraid of difficulties!
Bai Yitong finally imitated the tone in the guide and spoke out.
Then there was the sentence that Chen Mo heard...
The atmosphere seemed to freeze for a moment.
"Okay...here."
After Chen Mo was stunned for a long while, he slowly spoke.
He didn't refuse, he leaned forward, put his slender index finger and middle finger against the wall of the milk tea cup, and pushed it over.
I just wanted to remind you that his cup may be a bit bitter...
Then I saw Bai Yitong holding the latte to his mouth and taking a sip.
Bai Yitong seemed to notice Chen Mo's gaze and raised his head and smiled at him.
Her peach blossom eyes were curved into crescent moons, with a slight hint of baby fat on her cheeks, and there seemed to be stars in her eyes.
"Well, it tastes good, very sweet."
Chen Mo, who had just opened his mouth but had not yet spoken the words:...
Okay, very good and powerful.
“It’s very sweet. I’ll order this next time too.”
Bai Yitong said with a smile.
Chen Mo was extremely glad that high school was over and he no longer had to worry about this silly girl delivering a box of latte to the basketball team.
Seeing Bai Yitong's silly smile at this time, Chen Mo also frowned, looked at the milk stain on the corner of her mouth, and handed a piece of paper to her.
"Just rub it. Don't be dissatisfied with your taste. I don't think this tastes very good. The kumquat and lemon are not bad. You can try that one next time."
Chen Mo chuckled and coaxed unconsciously.
"Ah? Okay... next time I'll order kumquat lemon."
Chen Mo looked at Bai Yitong's dumb look. He didn't know why his teeth felt a little itchy, so he licked it slightly with the tip of his tongue. But it was of no use, and it still didn't stop the slight itching.
"Okay, I'll buy it for you next time."
At this moment, he seemed to understand why Bai Sha Niu liked to buy things for him.
When the two of them walked out of the milk tea shop, it was already getting very late, and the uncle and aunt in the park square were walking home with their fans and speakers.
Chen Mo went out and looked up to see the dark clouds in the sky that were still a little bit but had not completely dispersed... He tugged at the corner of his mouth helplessly, said goodbye to Bai Yitong with a smile, and made an appointment to see him when he fills in his application in a few days.
His Mercury retrograde period has not ended yet, and it would not be good for her to stay with Bai Yitong for a long time.
Looking at the soft and delicate face of the girl who looked like a jade doll under the light, she was smiling stupidly and raising her arms to wave goodbye to him. She sneered in her heart, she really looks like a fool, a good-looking fool.
But he also slowly stretched out his right hand and waved towards her gently.
He whispered: Goodbye.
…
It was already dark when Chen Mo returned home. When he walked into the alley, the old men and women in the alleys of Xiangyang were all asleep.
There is no busy traffic and bright lights like in the XC area.
The old people went to bed very early. Except for the door lights on the porches of a few small shops, the lights in other people's rooms were all turned off.
Only the moonlight in the sky is left shining on the earth.
"Jingle Bell!"
At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He picked it up subconsciously, and when he glanced at the contact with his peripheral vision, his hand paused in the air for a while, his light-colored eyes reflecting the light blue fluorescence on the screen.
The caller ID on the phone screen clearly says "Mom".
"Hello, Mom."
"Hey son! Do you miss your mother?"
"I think so. Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Kiss me, mua! I will bring Xiao Guozi to see you next time. Xiao Guozi misses you too. She has been asking me to bring her to see you every day. But she is asleep now. Let her talk to you tomorrow."
"Well, okay. Has she gained weight?"
"I'm getting fat, I'm getting fat again, I'm going to be a pig!"
"Hahaha, I won't be able to hold him next time."
"Son, your college entrance examination results should be out tomorrow, right? How are you nervous?"
"It's okay. If you perform normally, you should do well in the exam."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, son, why are you still so calm? In contrast to your mother, I am so nervous! I have been nervous since you finished the college entrance examination. The closer the score is, the more nervous I am. I browse the high-recruitment website of Z province every day for fear of missing out.
No matter what information, my hands are shaking."
"Don't be nervous, the results will be out tomorrow. I'll call you then."
"Hmm. That's why I called you today. If Xiao Momo can do well in the exam, I just want to see with my own eyes how good my son is."
"Mo Mo... If it hadn't been for those years... it wouldn't have been so difficult for you and you wouldn't have endured so much hardship..." Halfway through her words, the woman suddenly realized something and suddenly stopped talking.
"sorry, I……"
"fine……"
Chen Mo was silent for a long time. The screen of his mobile phone was quietly emitting a faint fluorescent light, and neither of them spoke.
It would be best for everyone not to tear apart some things.
There is no big grudge, it's just that Chen Mo has done very well since he was a child and has been competing since he was a child. He originally aimed to be a high school student in the provincial No. 1 middle school.
But during his junior high school years, his parents divorced, which had a great impact on his grades and mentality.
Changes in the family, the ever-present depressive atmosphere, occasional high-decibel quarrels, long periods of suppressed cold violence, broken beer bottles, cigarette butts on the floor, smoke all over the room, and the smell of nicotine permeating the room
Every corner of the floor was soaked with quilts and bed covers.
Such an environment would be difficult for a normal person to endure even for a moment, but it lasted at Chen Mo's home for two or three years.
Every time Chen Mo came home from school, he would subconsciously hide in his room, bury his head in the quilt and cover it tightly, as if he could not hear the outside sound, but the smell of nicotine from the quilt made him breathless.
.
At that time, the family was like a prison. The few people I loved most hurt each other and stabbed each other's heart with the cruelest words.
Finally, when his father couldn't suppress his anxiety and threw the empty beer bottle at his mother, Chen Mo, who had been playing a quail between the two of them, finally broke out. Instead of being a transparent person like before, he forcefully took the beer bottle from his father's hand.
The wine bottle broke this flammable and broken situation, and tore apart this broken marriage that was barely held together because he was still together.
Instead of two people torturing each other because of him, it would be better to let each other go and get together easily.
Just like the promise he made when he was joking when he was a child, he finally chose to protect his mother, and he respected his mother's choice. But he did not choose to go with his mother, because although his father was a little messed up during that time, in his heart he had always been
He is still the same hero he has admired since childhood, and has always been.
He just made a slight mistake.
Because of the depressive atmosphere at home in junior high school, it was not until my parents divorced before the high school entrance examination in the third year of junior high school that it finally ended.
In the first half of the semester, he tried his best to catch up in the last period.
He has a good brain, but learning never happens overnight.
Four hours of sleep every day, endless pressure and psychological torture are still fresh in his memory.
Fortunately, I finally got through that period and was admitted to Xiangyang No. 1 Middle School.
