"Brother Liu, your wife is looking for you!"
Liu Dekai sat up abruptly in bed, his expression filled with shock.
Mo Youyou came to find him?
This was completely beyond his expectations, because in their interactions, he was always the one coaxing Mo Youyou, including the last time when his mother came to persuade him to go home. Mo Youyou actually came to his dormitory to find him under such circumstances.
"Hey Battalion Commander Liu, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go see your wife!" Xiao Gao was particularly enthusiastic, and what was rare was that he wasn't one of those people who gossiped behind Liu's back. On the contrary, he was quite naive and didn't notice anything strange about Liu Dekai living in the dormitory.
"Brother Liu, I noticed your wife didn't look too good just now. Can you comfort her? It's probably because you've been staying in the dormitory lately and she's upset about it!"
"You too, you're doing just fine at home, why are you stuck in this shabby dorm!"
Xiao Gao was still muttering to himself when he saw that Liu Dekai hadn't moved, so he couldn't help but urge him on again.
"Brother Liu, hurry up!"
Liu Dekai then came to his senses, thanked Xiao Gao, and got up to go outside.
He was puzzled, unsure why Mo Youyou had come to see him this time. After all, he wasn't naive enough to think that Mo Youyou had come to beg him to go home, and even if she had, he had no intention of compromising.
Liu Dekai walked out of the dormitory and saw Mo Youyou standing under the tree waiting for him.
It's been quite a while since the two last saw each other.
But the tacit understanding remains.
No one spoke, and they both instinctively walked into a corner, deliberately avoiding the people coming and going and avoiding everyone's sight.
"What is it?" Liu Dekai's tone was cold, and he didn't look directly at Mo Youyou. His gaze was fixed on a certain spot in the void, and his whole being exuded an attitude of resistance.
After not seeing each other for so long, and even taking the initiative to come to the dormitory, Liu Dekai's attitude is like this?
Mo Youyou's resentment and dissatisfaction instantly intensified.
If it weren't for Mo Jiaqing's birthday banquet over the weekend, why would she, the daughter of a brigade commander, lower herself to come and find Liu Dekai?
For now, she could only swallow her anger and keep quiet. Her hands, hanging by her sides, were clenched into fists as she silently told herself not to get angry and to resolve the matter first.
“It’s Xiaoqing’s birthday this weekend. His cousin is throwing a birthday party for him at a restaurant. Everyone will be there, and you have to go too,” Mo Youyou said.
So that's what it was for.
Liu Dekai was reluctant to go. Although the rest of the Mo family's relatives had not joined the army, they were doing quite well in other industries, so they naturally looked down on him, a peasant, even though he had married Mo Youyou.
"You can just make up any excuse, right? I don't really want to go," Liu Dekai said, showing no sign of lowering himself to please Mo Youyou just because she took the initiative to come to him. On the contrary, he still put on a high-handed attitude.
"Liu Dekai, what did you say?!" Mo Youyou exploded instantly.
But after she shouted it out, she realized that they were still at the entrance of the male soldiers' dormitory. If they really started arguing, they wouldn't be able to hide in this corner.
"Liu Dekai, I'm not discussing this with you, this is a notification!"
"Make up excuses? Those excuses might fool my cousins, but can they fool my dad? If my dad finds out about the current situation, do you think you'll get away with it?" Mo Youyou's face turned red with anger.
She never considered asking her father to seek justice for her, even though she knew he could.
But now is not the time to date, and if anything goes wrong, she complains to her father. Now that she is married to Liu Dekai, she doesn't want to tell her father everything anymore.
Moreover, the core of the conflict in this Cold War lies with Liu Shengrui.
Mo Youyou herself couldn't explain why, but subconsciously she just didn't want her father to hear Xiao Rui say anything about being a superhero again.
"Liu Dekai, I've already told you the time and place. Whether you go or not is up to you!" Mo Youyou wasn't really going to lower herself. She was only here to inform him. If Liu Dekai was determined not to go, was she going to force him to go? "In any case, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."
After saying that, Mo Youyou left.
She was afraid that if she stayed even a second longer, she would lose control and start arguing or even fighting with Liu Dekai.
I really don't understand. Where does Liu Dekai get the confidence to tell her that "he doesn't really want to go"? What makes him think he doesn't want to go?
Returning home in a huff, Mo Youyou had nowhere to vent her anger, so she took it out on Zhang Cuihua, who knew nothing about it, nitpicking at everything.
"Why is the house so dirty? Don't you ever earn money? Can't you even clean properly? Xiao Rui loves to sit on the floor and play. Are you trying to make him sick by making it so dirty?"
"What kind of food did you make today? It's awful! Is this even fit for human consumption? I give you so much allowance, and this is what you serve me?"
"Apples again! Can't you buy some other fruit? I'm sick of seeing apples every day!"
Mo Youyou was so angry that she threw the cushions on the sofa aside, then stood up, turned off the TV, and went straight to the bedroom to lie down.
"What kind of madness is she having now?" Zhang Cuihua muttered to herself.
She could tell that Mo Youyou was deliberately picking a fight with her, so she didn't respond at all. But it was strange that Mo Youyou was acting like this.
Could it be that you were upset at work?
But Mo Youyou's job was carefully selected by Mo Cheng. It was definitely not going to be too tiring, and there was no chance of getting angry. From her superiors to her colleagues, everyone was exceptionally tolerant of her.
So why is that?
Zhang Cuihua couldn't understand it, but the current precarious relationship at home made her afraid to have any real disagreements with Mo Youyou, so she endured whatever she could.
"It seems I'll have to talk to Dekai again. He stays in the dorm all day long; this just can't go on!"
On the other side, after Mo Youyou left, Liu Dekai also fell into a very irritable state.
He could tell that Mo Youyou was very angry just now, and he understood that she didn't start a fight directly because of her pride. He really didn't want to attend Mo Jiaqing's birthday banquet.
This has nothing to do with the Mo family's condescending attitude, or even with Mo Youyou. He simply doesn't want to see Liu Shengrui again.
But Mo Youyou was right about one thing: if he didn't go, Mo Cheng would definitely find it strange, and when he asked about it... he wouldn't even have a chance to lie.
Therefore, Liu Dekai ultimately decided to go; he didn't want to escalate the matter to Mo Cheng.
"Damn it!" he cursed and kicked the tree trunk hard.
They can only vent their dissatisfaction through this behavior.
On the way back to the dormitory, Liu Dekai looked very unwell.
"Brother Liu, I heard your wife came to see you just now. Why do you look so pale? Did you two have a fight?"
