43. Soulful singing

"The former chairman of Jiahe Group passed away due to illness."

Chen Zhou sat in front of Shi Mo with his cell phone, and then muttered word by word.

"Pei Xu's grandmother passed away."

Chen Zhou couldn't help but sigh as he spoke: "No wonder I haven't come to see you during this period of time."

Thinking of the kind old man in his memory, Shi Mo picked up the milk tea beside him and took a sip.

Then he smiled faintly and said slowly: "Isn't this good?"

"He and I are not the same kind of people."

Chen Zhou thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "That's true."

"Let's go sing tonight. I haven't relaxed in a long time." Chen Zhou said as he stretched lazily.

I work all year round, and now that I have my annual leave, I can finally have some free time.

"Let's book the tickets tomorrow and travel abroad." Chen Zhou was thinking of going to Country R to have a look and have some fun.

Going abroad?

Shi Mo thought about it and decided that it was not impossible.

"Sure." Shi Mo agreed happily.

After hearing Shi Mo's agreement, Chen Zhou's eyes were filled with stars.

"Sister Shi, you are so nice." Chen Zhou said with tears in his eyes, and he almost rushed over to hug her.

"Call me sister when you are happy. Why didn't you call me sister before?" Shi Mo said with a smile.

Chen Zhou laughed, looking as servile as he could be.

The two of them walked around the mall and bought a lot of new clothes and some food.

Since we are not planning to spend the New Year in Fengcheng, let’s make a delicious meal tonight.

Standing in the small kitchen of Shimo's apartment, the two of them were busy preparing a table full of food.

Shi Mo prepared four dishes: sweet and sour pork ribs, cola chicken wings, braised pork elbow, and a soup.

Chen Zhou is used to ordering takeout all year round. The only one or two dishes he is good at are the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and smashed cucumbers that he often makes.

So he did these two.

Since there were only two of us, the portions of each dish were not very large.

But together they can both eat enough to fill them up.

"Your cooking skills are amazing!" Chen Zhou's eyes lit up as he ate the cola chicken wings.

"Then eat more." Shi Mo said with a smile.

"I know." Chen Zhou was not polite. How could he miss out on such delicious food?

Fortunately, not much rice was cooked, so there wasn't much left after the two of them had eaten.

After cleaning up the mess, the two sat down to have a good rest.

At this moment, the cell phone that Shi Mo had placed aside suddenly rang.

She took it and took a look. It was an unfamiliar number.

Shi Mo didn't think much about it and thought that they were looking for her to do a job.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

"Shi Mo, I miss you." Pei Xu's tired voice came from the phone.

Hearing that it was Pei Xu's voice, Shi Mo was silent for a moment and then immediately hung up.

"Who is it?" Chen Zhou asked casually while looking at the tablet in front of him.

"It's a nuisance call." Shi Mo blocked the phone number.

"These scammers are really dedicated to their work, making harassing phone calls during Chinese New Year." Chen Zhou sighed.

"Yes, he is really dedicated." Shi Mo continued.

Pei Xu, sitting in the car, called again and found that the number had been blocked.

Pei Xu chuckled, then fiddled with it and sent a message to Shi Mo.

Pei Xu: I'm already on my way to your house. Wait for me to find you.

[Pei Xu: I miss you so much.]

The cell phone dinged, and Shi Mo took a look and saw an impatient look in his eyes.

【Shi Mo: Can you please stop pestering me? 】

【Shimo: I really annoy you. 】

Pei Xu read the message sent by Shi Mo with great interest even though it was a rejection.

I feel so happy that she even sends me messages. That’s great.

Pei Xu touched the file bag beside him and waited for Shi Mo to sign the document after seeing her.

These things were left to her by her grandmother.

【Shimo: Idiot.】

Looking at this abusive sentence, Pei Xu thought of Shi Mo's angry look and typed these two words.

"So cute." Pei Xu said with a chuckle.

The two of them lay there until ten o'clock in the evening, then put on their clothes and went to KTV.

After booking a private room, they went in to sing.

I have booked three hours, and today I must show off my beautiful singing voice.

"The vast sky is my love——" Chen Zhou stood in front of the big screen holding a microphone and sang loudly.

Shi Mo sat beside him, eating a fruit plate and watching him sing.

Chen Zhou sang very loudly, his voice was full of emotion, without a trace of technique.

After singing this song, he excitedly rushed to Shi Mo and shouted, "Let's sing the next song together!"

"What song is it?"

"Moonlight over the Lotus Pond."

Shi Mo's hand holding the microphone froze for a moment, "Okay, let's sing together."

The two of them stood there and started singing, each one taking a line, without caring whether it sounded good or not.

They were a little reserved at first, but after singing a few more songs, they completely relaxed.

When Pei Xu arrived at the apartment, he knocked on the door several times and found that there was no one inside.

Pei Xu frowned. Where did he go so late at night?

He took out his cell phone and hurriedly checked Shi Mo's current location.

Pei Xu's eyes widened slightly and his handsome brows frowned.

Actually in KTV.

Thinking of that kid Chen Zhou, Pei Xu's eyes changed.

They won't be together, right?

When Pei Xu thought of this, he turned around and left the apartment directly.

Sitting in the car, he drove towards the KTV.

After arriving, he went in and started looking for a private room.

After finding it, Pei Xu took a deep breath, then raised his hand and pushed open the door of the box.

The two stopped singing passionately because the door was suddenly opened.

At the same time, everyone looked at the door of the box, where colorful neon lights were spinning around.

Because Pei Xu was facing against the light, Shi Mo couldn't see what he looked like clearly.

But Shi Mo still looked at the figure and figured out who it was.

The smile on his face gradually collapsed at this moment, and Shi Mo put down the microphone.

"Why are you here?" Shi Mo looked at the man with impatience in his tone.

"I'm here to take you home." Pei Xu looked at her and said with a smile, "New Year's Eve is only two or three days away."

"New Year's Eve is a time for family reunion dinner."

When Chen Zhou heard the voice, he realized who the person was.

He immediately stood in front of Shi Mo, opened his hands, looked at him warily, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Also, Shi Mo will not go back with you!"

"Give up on this idea."

Seeing Chen Zhou protecting someone like this, Pei Xu felt even more unhappy.

"This is a matter between me and Shi Mo. All irrelevant people, get out of here!" Pei Xu's eyes were filled with anger. If it weren't for Shi Mo's sake, Chen Zhou would have been dealt with by him long ago.

You damn bitch, you're still alive because of Shi Mo.

Pei Xu cursed Chen Zhou in his heart without any hesitation.

"Your relationship with Shi Mo is not as good as mine and hers. What are you yelling about here?" Chen Zhou retorted.

These words hit Pei Xu's sore spot exactly.
