Chapter 15
The school is closed this Friday afternoon and there is no evening self-study.
The other two people in the dormitory went home early. Chen Mo went to the guard room to pick up a express delivery. When he returned to the dormitory, before he had time to open it, a message popped up from an anonymous friend he had just added on the Penguin account.
[You paid for this? ]
Chen Mo glanced at the phone screen and two seconds later replied: Do one good deed a day.
Guessing that the other party wouldn’t believe it, I replied: I just saw the help post you posted on the community forum.
The other party quickly replied: [Too much money. 】
Chen Mo: Aren't you a college student? You're a programming major, maybe you'll be a big shot in the industry in the future. Just treat me as an investment, don't rush to ask for a return in five or ten years.
After half a minute, the other side: [Thank you,]
Chen Mo: You’re welcome.
Looking at the phone that was no longer lit, Chen Mo smiled.
He didn't plan to tell the other party his real name. After all, no one would believe that a sophomore in high school could come up with that much money.
Twenty-eight-year-old Chen Mo was not just busy fighting with Yang Zhi. He also had a small technology company under his name, which had just started. He was not the legal person, so not many people knew about it.
His partner is a technology expert who specializes in artificial intelligence.
That is the poor college student in the phone who is currently unable to raise enough medical expenses for his mother who is paralyzed from the waist down. In the future, his external name will be Lao K, and his personality will be as serious and taciturn as the one he sent the message.
On the day of the accident, Chen Mo didn't have many regrets, he just felt a little sorry for Lao K.
The company had just started when he, the investor, passed away and left the business alone. It had not been long since he and Yang Zhu joined forces, so he had very little capital to spare.
It is unknown whether Lao K found suitable investors later.
Chen Mo couldn't make up for it, and this was all he could do.
Chen Mo opened his phone and looked at the money he had invested in financial management during this period. As of today, the returns have begun to show. Although there is suspicion of opportunism, he at least used the theories he had learned and the experience he had accumulated over the years. He didn't say that he would open a lottery ticket worth hundreds of millions. Although it was because he couldn't remember, it would be a bastard not to make money.
Chen Mo exited the income interface without any psychological burden.
Another message popped up on the phone.
This time it was the familiar Husky avatar, and just like Chen Mo remembered, it would vibrate endlessly once the message was sent.
Gou Yiyang: What are you doing?
Gou Yiyang: I heard that you didn’t go home.
Gou Yiyang: Do you want to go out for dinner? It's still early.
Gou Yiyang: ...asleep?
Chen Mo: Who are they?
Gou Yiyang: I haven’t slept yet, that’s good.
Gou Yiyang: You met those people in the Internet cafe last time. Those bastards are still thinking about the fact that you didn't treat them to a meal. But don't worry, we're just getting together. I don't intend to cheat you.
Chen Mo recalled that day, he did not get to eat the barbecue as planned, and he ended up going to the hospital.
Chen Mo hesitated for two seconds: Go, give me the address, and I’ll let you cheat me.
Gou Yiyang sent him a thumbs-up emoticon that almost took up the entire screen.
Half an hour later, Chen Mo met up with Gou Yiyang and his group at a night market stall two streets away from the internet cafe. There were quite a few people, probably about ten or so, including a few familiar faces and some girls.
"Here! Mr. Mo!" Someone waved at him from a distance.
Chen Mo walked over to the crowded side and sat down in the newly added seat next to Gou Yiyang. He looked around and asked, "Is everyone here?"
"I've been waiting for you." Gou Yiyang put a bottle of beer in front of him.
Chen Mo took it away and said, "I don't drink. Just order whatever you want to eat. It's my treat."
There was a small wave of booing.
The night wind in this season always carries a hint of heat. The sizzling sound from the barbecue stalls and the sound of beer glasses clinking are the unique flavors of this season, full of the smell of fireworks.
Chen Mo didn't talk much, he just ate the food with a bamboo stick while listening to the gossip of the group. They talked about gossips from their own school to other schools. After listening for a while, Chen Mo realized that several girls at the scene were from other schools.
Among them was a girl she didn't know. She noticed Chen Mo as soon as he arrived. At this moment, she couldn't help herself and quietly asked the people next to her who this was.
After all, among a group of boys who are drunk and swearing, Chen Mo seems low-key, but he is actually the most conspicuous.
He was wearing the simplest outfit of a white T-shirt and jeans.
His skin was visibly white under the dim light, and even his hair was submissive tonight. Whether it was the protruding wrist bones resting on his knees or the arc of his collarbone that was faintly visible under his T-shirt, he looked just the right amount of thin. He sat quietly. When someone asked him a question, he would answer a few words, but most of the time he just chatted with Gou Yiyang next to him.
When the boys heard that some girls were asking about him, they couldn't help but sigh and said with a smile: "Don't dream, is our Mo Shao an ordinary person? You can go to our No. 1 Middle School's campus forum and you will see that he is a legend now."
"What legend?" The girl became interested and even asked, "Is it as famous as the Xi Si Banquet in your school?"
When the girl mentioned this name, her face turned slightly red.
Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh that this person was so popular even in other schools.
The boy just now immediately said: "That's not a concept."
"for example?"
"For example, I'm a poor student." Chen Mo continued with a smile, "I smoke, drink, and fight in groups. I have a lot of bad history and there may be more in the future. Don't compare me with Xi Siyan, it makes me feel embarrassed."
In fact, Chen Mo was thinking that seeing Xi Siyan's face threatening to send him down from the fourth floor if he couldn't make it into the top ten would really shorten his lifespan if he looked at it too much.
Gou Yiyang, who was standing next to him, suddenly asked after hearing what he said, "Seriously, are you serious about Xi Siyan bringing you into the top ten?"
Chen Mo looked over and asked, "How do you know?"
"Oh, then it seems to be true." Gou Yiyang did not even bother to answer, and continued, "Everyone thought you had no hope, but now it seems that may not be the case."
Chen Mo: "Excuse me, what do you mean by everyone?"
Gou Yiyang said in a very casual tone: "In our class, everyone has long wanted to stop attending White Snake's class. Who knew that you would be the one to challenge us in the end? We are all waiting for the result."
Chen Mo: “…”
He didn't drink tonight but felt a throbbing pain in his head.
This topic has been discussed a lot recently. Does everyone think that he must be in the top ten?
The barbecue lasted until 9:30 in the evening.
The night market is still bustling.
Chen Mo paid the bill and rejected the proposal of several people to split the bill with him. It was not known whether they were embarrassed to let him pay alone or they had not made enough of the fuss.
Someone suggested continuing the party and going to KTV all night.
Chen Mo's sleep has been quite regular lately, but he didn't want to spoil the fun, so he went along.
At this age, the only entertainment options are Internet cafes and KTVs, playing games and early love. Even going into a bar may feel like a crime. The KTV they chose has a decent decoration. Inside, you can see the magnificent reflections. The soundproofing is good, and only the faint sounds from the various private rooms can be heard.
A group of people opened a large private room.
Chen Mo sat in the corner of the sofa, drowsy.
A group of boys were dancing wildly and scrambling for the microphone to sing high notes, while the girls were huddled together and whispering to each other while looking at their phones.
Just when Chen Mo was about to fall asleep, he felt the sofa next to him sink slightly.
He looked over and saw that the girl's face was as red as an apple under the dim light. As if he had a premonition, Chen Mo leaned back.
Unfortunately, the girl didn't pay any attention at all. She lowered her head and asked cautiously: "Chen Mo? Can I add you as a friend?"
"Why?" Chen Mo heard himself asking.
It’s not that I can’t add it, I just don’t want to add it with some tacit and ambiguous purpose.
Sure enough, the girl looked up at him and bit her lip: "I think you...are a good person."
"Ha." Chen Mo couldn't help but chuckle.
He really wanted to tell the girl in front of him that when he was hanging around in various entertainment venues and dealing with all kinds of so-called business people with big brains, he had put his arm around the waist of a hostess and let the princess kneel down and pour wine for him.
Say he's a good person?
But now, he just smiled shyly: "Sorry, I don't add anyone casually."
"I don't mean anything else." The girl's face seemed to get even redder, and she whispered, "Just be friends, isn't that okay?"
Chen Mo was a little helpless.
He stood up and grabbed a glass of orange wine from the table and drank it all in one gulp.
When he put down the cup, he looked over and sighed, "You are very pretty, but I don't like girls."
"Ah, ah?" The girl opened her lips slightly, stared at him with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe it, and stuttered: "You, you mean..."
"Yeah." Chen Mo nodded, "I'm gay."
The glass hit the table with a crisp sound, and someone happened to change the song.
So much so that Chen Mo's words became the only sound in the entire box, clear enough for everyone to hear.
When the prelude of the next song sounded, someone's microphone fell to the ground. The sharp sound was enough to prove the impact of this sentence at this moment.
The second floor of the KTV at this time.
Xi Jianxing was being forced to drink in the VIP box and was so confused that he really wanted to surrender.
Seeing the tall figure pushing the door open, he said quickly, "Let's stop drinking here today... um, I have to go back... him? He can't do that. This is my nephew, and he's still a high school student. Be a decent person, I'm leaving first, everyone. Bye, bye."
I finally got out of the box.
Xi Jianxing tugged at his tie and cursed, "Fuck, these old foxes are more ruthless than each other."
After saying that, he looked at his nephew who was leaning against the wall, his teeth gnashing, "I asked you to come to save the situation. If you had come half an hour later, I would have been the one collecting the body of your uncle!"
"I can choose a good cemetery for you."
Xi Siyan stood up from the wall and put away his phone.
Xi Jianxing almost vomited blood.
At this moment, his good nephew, the eldest son of the Xi family, was dragged to some dinner party tonight. He was wearing a white shirt and trousers, with his hair gelled, and he was extremely handsome.
It just lacks some humanity.
"Can we go now?" Xi Siyan grabbed the man who was almost dizzy from standing, "The driver is at the door."
Xi Jianxing looked at him with resentment, "What if I say I can't leave?"
"Then you climb down?"
Xi Jianxing took two deep breaths and sneered, "You should really let your good classmates see the true face under this skin."
Xi Siyan followed behind him leisurely, "What's his true face? He stood up your brother and sister-in-law, and kindly came out to pick you up from a banquet that even your grandfather would attend. Is this his true face?"
"Bah." There was no respect or affection between the uncle and nephew. Xi Jianxing exposed him, "You hate this kind of occasions. Haven't you played the role of a good son and a good grandson enough since you were a child?"
Xi Siyan put his hands in his pockets and said, "If you think so, I can't help it."
"Save your scumbag quotes for your future wife, and see if she'll slap you in the face!"
I kept arguing with people all the way downstairs and passed the bathroom.
Xi Jianxing leaned against the wall and kept shouting that he couldn't do it anymore and that he had to go vomit.
Xi Siyan was waiting at the bathroom door.
The wait was ten minutes.
When Xi Jianxing came out, he was stared at by the passers-by. The passers-by, who were becoming increasingly impatient, frowned and said, "I thought you fell into the toilet."
"Didn't I just go there to watch the fun?"
Without Xi Siyan asking, Xi Jianxing took the initiative to say, "I didn't expect that you high school students are so fierce nowadays. Just now, there were two boys in the bathroom, one was vomiting and the other was trying to persuade him, and I listened to everything carefully. The boy who vomited came out publicly because a girl confessed to him. It seems that there is another person he likes but cannot declare his love for, so he got himself drunk. It made me feel uncomfortable just by listening to him."
Xi Siyan: "Are you going to leave or not?"
"Come on, come on, can you be a little more patient? It seems like he is from the same school as you."
Just as he was about to leave, Xi Jianxing saw a certain male high school student, who had just been standing outside the toilet cubicle door giving earnest advice, rushing out of the toilet with a pale face.
As soon as he moved aside, he saw his nephew suddenly reach out and grab someone.
"Gou Yiyang."
"ah?"
Gou Yiyang was confused and the moment he looked up and saw his squad leader he almost burst into tears.
Xi Siyan looked at him and frowned, "What are you doing?"
Gou Yiyang then remembered the important matter and pointed to the toilet with a trembling finger, "It's Chen Mo. Chen Mo is dying. I have to go get someone."
At this time, Chen Mo was supporting the sink with one hand and pressing his stomach with the other.
It was a little dark in front of my eyes.
He didn't feel anything wrong when he drank the glass of wine. It might be because the taste of the barbecue tonight was too strong. The two combined, the familiar pain came over him within three minutes of drinking it.
The stomach is empty due to severe vomiting.
He wanted Gou Yiyang to calm down, but unfortunately, Gou, who didn't even know that he would hold a scalpel in the future, was still a high school student who was easily frightened. After seeing Chen Mo's pale face and the cold sweat running down his face, he probably thought he was about to die.
It will be over soon.
When the pain subsides a little, remember to go to the pharmacy to get some basic medicine on your way back just in case.
When Chen Mo thought about this, he turned around and leaned against the sink, trying to squat down to calm himself down.
Halfway through squatting, I found myself being lifted up by the waist.
Chen Mo's nose hit the hard shoulder, and his hand rested on the shirt rolled up to the elbow, which was of unusual texture. Chen Mo only had time to look up and see the outline of a jaw before he heard a familiar voice above his head.
“It’s the second time.”
"A ride to the hospital, I'll carry you?"
