The Eternal team, which dominates the world championships, has three treasures: Yu Mo's face, Yu Mo's hands, and Yu Mo's sniper skills.
While everyone eagerly awaited, Yu Mo went ...
Yu Mo's words were like a sudden and powerful punch. Ye Feng was still unresponsive for two seconds before he finally felt the malice from the world between the lines of these obscure words.
Suddenly, the situation within this ranking team became turbulent.
Heping is a pure naive person, and has no idea what is going on. He only knows that in the following losing streak, his mother has had an extremely hard time. It seems like their sniper and pioneer fighter are sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams. He doesn't know who is the undercover sent by the enemy, and they are madly selling out the other.
Nini's mentality was broken. After the two games, she cursed her brother to be single for the rest of his life, then logged off in a miserable state to do her homework.
The ranking team was disbanded on the spot.
Yu Mo hadn't played a sniper in BOD's PC game for a long time, but he had a blast playing the role of Ye Feng in the mobile game. He had a great time playing the role of Ye Feng, and stretched himself with a refreshed mind. When he turned around, he found that the sofa was empty.
Gong Xue didn't know when he left.
Yu Mo just glanced at the things on the table. The very expensive Ceylon Comex set was still scattered on the coffee table. Gong Xue didn't take it away. She only took away the LV bag she was carrying when she came.
Yu Mo's heart was not moved at all, so he slowly turned his head away.
At this time, Ji Yan and Lin Meng came down from upstairs, arm in arm, looking very affectionate.
"Don't listen to Yu Mo's father's nonsense." Ji Yan said with a smile: "This will always be your and Yu Mo's home. It has nothing to do with anyone else. If you don't mind, you can treat me as your mother in the future. I don't mind having more daughters. I like girls."
Lin Meng touched the tip of his nose a little embarrassedly and whispered, "Okay."
"Huh?" Ji Yan glanced down at the living room downstairs and asked in surprise, "Shelly's gone?"
"Yeah." Yu Mo leaned back and put his hands behind his head.
"When did you leave?" Ji Yan asked.
"I don't know either." Yu Mo said lazily, "I just played two games, and when I looked up, he was gone."
Ji Yan was quite satisfied with this answer. She patted Lin Meng on the back and said, "Come over and play. I'll try the thick soup you bought." Then she hummed a little tune and went back to her kitchen.
Yu Mo looked at the intimate interaction between the two ladies and tried to hold back his laughter for a long time. Then, when Lin Meng came over, he grabbed her hand and pulled it towards him.
Lin Meng stumbled and fell lightly onto his thighs. She couldn't help but blush, "What are you doing?"
Yu Mo put his arm around her waist and smiled slightly, "Why? I've already met your parents, but you still won't let me touch you?"
"Someone is here, I want to sit on the sofa..." Lin Meng held his shoulders and tried to stand up, but was pushed back by Yu Mo again.
"No, I'm not happy." Yu Mo said, "You're so cruel to leave me alone down there for so long with someone who has evil thoughts about me."
Lin Meng: "...How dare you say that!"
"Why should I be embarrassed to say it?" Yu Mo raised his hand and pinched her soft neck: "Every word is true."
It is impossible to say that Gong Xue's appearance had no impact on Lin Meng's mentality. It would have been fine if Yu Mo hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as he mentioned it, the jealousy in her heart was suddenly burst, and the sourness overflowed and flowed privately.
"I see you're clearly reluctant to let her go." Lin Meng narrowed her eyes and began to rant, "Just now you stared at the direction she went for a long time, looking distraught. Don't think I didn't see it."
Yu Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are quite good at making up stories for me."
"Then you have to give me some material so I can make it up." Lin Meng rolled her eyes and said, "She has been a 'child bride' in your family for many years."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'm going to kiss you." Yu Mo threatened with narrowed eyes.
Lin Meng was shy after all, so she stopped talking nonsense immediately. She pushed Yu Mo and tried to stand up, but Yu Mo still pinched the back of her neck and kissed her forehead hard twice.
"You, you, you!" Lin Meng jumped up with a red face and took several steps back.
"You're such a jerk, you're just talking nonsense." Yu Mo crossed his legs and said, "If you really want to talk about child brides, I really wish we could go back three years."
"What do you want to do?" Lin Meng's face turned cold.
"I'll take you straight back from the internet cafe and lock you up in our little basement." Yu Mo chuckled softly and raised an eyebrow. "I'll ask you every day if you're willing to be my girlfriend, and I'll let you out once you say yes."
Lin Meng: “???”
Lin Meng: "You're a pervert!"
The girl's face was as red as a ripe apple, and she looked as cute as ever when she jumped up and down. Yu Mole was so happy to be called a pervert by her that the smile on his face deepened.
"Yu Mo, you're bullying Lin Xiaomeng again, aren't you?" Ji Yan shouted in the kitchen, "Ahhhhh, this should be cooked now! Hiss, hiss, it's scalding to death."
Yu Mo quickly got up, ran into the kitchen, took down the scalding-proof gloves from the wall and put them on, then quickly took the large casserole from Ji Yan's hand.
"Move aside, I'll serve it."
Ms. Ji pinched her ear from the burn. Lin Meng came over and said, "Let me get the chopsticks. Where are the chopsticks?"
"In the disinfection cabinet." Ji Yan rubbed her sore fingertips and said, "Oh, cooking is really not something that can be done by one person... Next time I should call Xiao Wu back to help. I'm really not good at this." She lamented.
"It's really rare that you can realize this." Yu Mo put the casserole on the dining table, lifted the lid and took a look. The thick white soup was bubbling, and the aroma was quite good. It seemed that it was something edible. He couldn't help but sigh, thanks to his sudden inspiration to buy the thick soup treasure.
"Come on, come on, sit down." Ms. Ji greeted enthusiastically: "Try my cooking! You two can sit across from each other, sit next to each other, yes, yes, yes, don't be shy."
The three of them sat around the steaming casserole, holding the snow-white ceramic bowls, smiling at each other, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
At this moment, footsteps were heard on the stairs.
Yu Chengen slowly walked down from upstairs.
He quickly glanced around the huge living room, and when he didn't see Gong Xue, he stopped and closed his eyes.
"What's wrong? Are you disappointed because you didn't see anyone?" Ji Yan sat at the table with chopsticks in his hand, turned his head with his slender shoulders and glanced at Yu Chengen.
"No." Yu Cheng'en wasn't angry either. He smiled unexpectedly. This smile made his face look more lively and seemed much kinder and more approachable. He pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and walked down slowly: "I am relieved."
"Why?" Ji Yan asked disapprovingly.
"I was afraid you would ask me to kick her out myself." Yu Cheng'en smiled and said bluntly, "To be honest, I couldn't bring myself to do that, Madam. Fortunately, she left on her own."
Ji Yan rolled her eyes: "You are honest."
"So am I worthy of having dinner with you?" Yu Chengen shrugged and asked innocently.
Yu Mo and Lin Meng looked at each other quietly, then looked at Ji Yan at the same time.
Ji Yan sat there motionless, her back straight like a statue of a saint. She didn't move, and Yu Chengen didn't move either, just staring at her with gentle eyes.
"Forget it, come and sit down." Ms. Ji finally gave in and said in a noble and cold manner, "Get the chopsticks yourself."
Yu Chengen smiled slightly, without saying much, and turned around and walked towards the disinfection cabinet in the kitchen very obediently.
Lin Meng was really shocked by the extent to which Yu Chengen obeyed Ms. Ji's words. She blinked and couldn't help but poke Yu Mo with her elbow out of curiosity.
Yu Mo lowered his eyes and looked back at her, his eyes curved with a smile, and his expression of no surprise seemed to be proudly showing off, "Look, this is the fine tradition of our Yu family."
Yu Chengen quickly picked up the chopsticks and sat next to Ji Yan.
Ms. Ji was still rolling her eyes slightly, looking as if she didn't want to pay any attention to him. Yu Chengen didn't get angry either, but smiled gently and said, "Who made this soup today? It looks so appetizing, with both color and aroma."
"Is it even necessary to ask this kind of question? It must be the person with the best cooking skills in our family." Ji Yan said unhappily, "Besides me, who else in our family is the best cook?"
Lin Meng thought about it. She had the impression that Yu Mo could cook. Several times at the base, his share was stolen by the fat boy Panda, so he would cook another portion for himself. It seemed that this was a skill he had cultivated over the years of living under the same roof with Ms. Ji.
But such words were definitely not to be said now. How could one expose the past of one's future mother-in-law to her face? Unless she was tired of living.
Next to him, Yu Mo's will to survive was also very strong. He sat in silence with a solemn expression. Both of them left the opportunity to connect the gag to Yu Chengen. Yu Chengen raised his hand to touch his nose and smiled: "Then it can only be you."
"That's good to know." Ji Yan said, "Then I'll give you a chance to taste my cooking."
Yu Chengen nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you."
He stood up and Yu Mo handed him a ceramic soup spoon. He carefully took the spoon and stirred it in the casserole, then scooped the soup and pig's trotters into the bowl.
"Abalone, shark's fin, fish maw, pig's trotter, and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, ma'am." Yu Cheng'en said sincerely, "You can cook all these famous Chinese dishes. It's amazing! Your culinary skills will be limitless in the future!"
Lin Meng's eyes widened. It was the first time she had seen someone flatter someone so seriously and solemnly. It was almost like a national leader delivering an important speech. One could not help but believe it. Yu Mo, who was standing next to her, was the first to lose his composure. He couldn't help but chuckle and cover his mouth with his hands.
"Well said, well said." Seeing Yu Chengen glaring at him, Yu Mo couldn't help but clap his hands: "Old Yu is worthy of being a leader, his speaking level is different."
"Then I won't be polite. Let me taste your cooking first." Yu Chengen nodded slightly.
Lin Meng didn't think it was a big deal. These ingredients were all top-quality. Any combination of them could make a delicious soup. What's more, Ms. Ji also used their killer ingredient - concentrated soup. Even if someone couldn't cook, the soup wouldn't be too unpalatable!
So they all watched with anticipation as Yu Chengen took the first sip of soup.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Yu Chengen seemed to be petrified.
Ji Yan was so happy just now, but now the smile on her face gradually froze.
"Why don't you swallow it?" She asked with a dark face.
Yu Cheng'en's Adam's apple rolled up and down, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and after a while he spoke, "It's so delicious, I can't bear to swallow it. I want... I want my taste buds to enjoy this wonderful moment a little longer."
"Ah, really?" Yu Mo breathed a sigh of relief and stood up and said, "Then I'll try it too."
Lin Meng: "I want it too, I want it too."
Yu Mo: "Give me the bowl, I'll help you fill it."
They each filled a bowl of soup and sat back. Lin Meng held the bowl, Yu Mo held the spoon, and they each took a sip.
Lin Meng: “?!”
Yu Mo: “…”
Yu Cheng'en calmly wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, looking at their frustrated expressions with a cold look.
Ji Yan was still looking forward to it: "How is it?"
Lin Meng swallowed with difficulty, wanting to cry but unable to. Yu Mo, who was using a spoon and was less affected, couldn't help but shout in shock, "Mom! How did you turn Buddha Jumps Over the Wall into a sweet soup?!"
"Sweet soup?" Ms. Ji said blankly, "No, I didn't put any sugar in it."
"Then why does it taste like this—" Yu Mo was stunned: "No soup base would taste like this! I swear! Otherwise, their manufacturer would have gone bankrupt long ago!"
Ji Yan sat back down, thought seriously for a while, and slapped his head: "Ah, I remember, I added some Chuanbei loquat paste."
"Chuanbei loquat paste?!?!" the three people around shouted in unison.
"Yes, I saw on the Internet that Buddha Jumps Over the Wall can also be made into a medicinal food, but we don't seem to have any Chinese herbal medicine at home, and I don't know how to process ginseng, so I just poured some ready-made ones in -" Ms. Ji said innocently.
"You haven't... tried it yourself first?" Yu Chengen asked tentatively.
"No." Ji Yan answered confidently: "It's so hot, how can I taste it?"
Yu Chengen: “…”
Yu Mo: “…”
Lin Meng: "..."
In the end, Ms. Ji still failed to achieve her goal of cooking for everyone herself.
In the end, Yu Chengen called Lao Han's private restaurant and asked them to expedite the preparation of the private dishes for takeout.
While waiting, Lin Meng had no choice but to chew some bubble gum with Yu Mo to satisfy their cravings.
The two of them sat together on the swing in the Yu family's house, swinging back and forth. Lin Meng said, "I never thought your father would be like this in private. It's quite amusing."
"You didn't expect that, did you?" Yu Mo put his arm around her shoulders and said, "There are still many unknown things about our family. When you marry in, I'll tell you everything."
"I don't care to know." Lin Meng curled her lips: "Besides, you are so perverted, who would want to marry you?"
"Isn't it because of you that I'm a pervert?" Yu Mo leaned over and gently bit her earlobe: "It's all because of you."
"You!" Lin Meng couldn't stand this kind of topic. She reached out and pushed him away: "Stop putting the blame on me and go be a pervert yourself!"
Yu Mo: "Then give me a kiss."
Lin Meng felt that this bastard was talking about marriage, and what he wanted to do seriously might be too far away. Now they were in the mansion of their old Yu family. What would happen if the two elders of the Yu family saw them?
She immediately changed the subject and said, "No, no, I still have questions to ask."
"What?" Yu Mo asked.
"How did Gong Xue's parents die?" Lin Meng asked.
Yu Mo thought for a moment and said softly, "Actually, I don't know the details. I just heard my mom mention it once or twice. It seems that Gong Xue's father used to do business with my dad. For a while, my dad had a conflict with some gang members, and they tampered with the car that picked up my dad on his way home."
"Something was done?" Lin Meng asked in shock, "What did you do?"
"It seems like the brakes failed or something." Yu Mo said, "But my father didn't take that bus. Instead, it was Gong Xue's father. He was in a hurry to get home, so he asked my father to change the bus. My father agreed, so--" He shrugged and didn't say anything else.
Lin Meng paused: "What about her mother?"
"If I remember correctly, Gong Xue's mother was also a full-time housewife. But unlike my mother, her mother didn't have a family background, so she relied on Gong Xue's father for food, clothing, and other expenses. So when her father got into trouble, her mother collapsed and committed suicide by cutting her wrists at home."
Lin Meng opened her mouth, but fell into a long silence.
"This incident has always been a thorn in my father's heart. He always felt that it was Gong Xue's father who protected him from disaster, and that it was his responsibility that Gong Xue's family was destroyed and that Gong Xue became an orphan. Therefore, his kindness to Gong Xue over the years has been unconditional." Yu Mo said, "To make up for his inner guilt."
Lin Meng lowered her eyes.
She didn't want to say anything more about whether it was Yu Chengen's fault or not, but she knew that her heartache for Yu Mo would never fade.
"I don't care." She suddenly threw herself into Yu Mo's arms, hugged the man's waist, and complained in a low voice: "I don't care what they do, anyway, they can't hurt you, no matter who hurts you."
Yu Mo patted her head with a smile.
"The takeaway is here, come in and eat!" Ji Yan shouted, sticking her head out of the window.
"Hey, here I come." Yu Mo responded, stood up and carried Lin Meng off the swing, and the two of them went into the house together.
The dishes in the regular private restaurant were indeed worlds apart from Ms. Ji's dark cuisine. The four of them were very hungry, so they started eating without any further greetings.
At first, Lin Meng was embarrassed to take more food to eat, as she thought she was very greedy. As a result, Yu Mo and Ji Yan took turns to take more food and meat for her. The food in her bowl piled up into a small mountain, and she had no place to put her chopsticks.
Yu Chengen was halfway through his meal when he couldn't help but say, "Lin Meng, just eat freely. Don't be so reserved as if you were being tortured."
Lin Meng shrank her neck: "Well, I... I'm losing weight."
"What weight loss? I hate it most when young girls are dieting all the time." Yu Chengen said, "If you starve yourself, your stomach will be damaged. From now on, all you eat is medicine instead of food. It's not worth it."
Lin Meng: "Ah, that's it."
"Your Aunt Ji was always trying to lose weight when she was young." Yu Chengen said with a straight face, "I was the one who corrected her in the end."
"Hey, hey, hey." Ji Yan angrily knocked on the edge of the bowl, "ding ling bang" sound: "Just eat, why are you reminiscing about the past?"
"The more I look at her, the more I think this little girl is like you when you were young, sharp-tongued." Yu Chengen said, "She can boost people's popularity, but at the same time, she's not annoying." He shook his head with deep emotion, "No wonder Yu Mo likes her."
Yu Mo coughed a little, and Lin Meng's face flushed red. He slowly lowered his head and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, Uncle Yu..."
"I don't mean to blame you." Yu Chengen said, "I just feel a little sad."
"Being like me is a good thing." Ji Yan said unhappily, "But I'm also very fortunate that my son didn't inherit your ability to identify whores at all. Thankfully, he didn't."
"Jian bitch? What do you mean?" Yu Chengen frowned and asked seriously: "Do you want to buy a watch? What brand? A wristwatch or a pocket watch? I have some knowledge of the watch industry."
"It's about identifying a green tea bitch, Yu Chengen." Ji Yan's face was full of disgust: "Why did I marry an old-fashioned person like you? If you don't understand, go to Baidu! Okay, stop talking and eat."
Yu Chengen: “…”
