"No, brother, you don't even have a girlfriend yourself, so why do you care whether I find one or not?"
"Have you found it?" Qi Tan seemed to hear the hidden meaning in the words.
"No," Qi Yan said embarrassedly, not daring to admit that he had tried to pursue Ding Ning.
"You, I don't understand you?" Qi Tan snorted. "You look smart, but you have no self-discipline at all. Without anyone watching, you can act lawless. You've only lived in this rented place for a few days, and look how messy it is."
Qi Yan was even more in the wrong.
If the house wasn't such a mess, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to go home, right?
But no matter whether he returned early or late, he could not escape Qi Tan's scolding.
"Go back and pack up quickly," Qi Tan said, "I'm leaving first."
"Goodbye, brother." Qi Yan immediately said goodbye with a smile, wishing that Qi Tan would disappear right now.
But after Qi Tan left, Qi Yan felt lost again.
Living alone is quite lonely.
…
night.
Zhou Mo and Han Chen had dinner at home.
Han Chen was washing dishes in the kitchen.
Zhou Mo took the washed clothes out of the washing machine and carried the basket to the balcony to hang the clothes.
Suddenly I remembered that I could see Qi Yan's house from my balcony.
She glanced outside and saw that the curtains in the bedroom were drawn and there was light on.
Zhou Mo thought, Qi Yan must be playing games again.
She was still putting clothes on the hangers when Han Chen had finished washing the dishes.
He came out of the kitchen and went to the balcony to help Zhou Mo.
"Are you tired?" Zhou Mo asked.
"You mean work?"
"Work and life," Zhou Mo turned around and hung the clothes on the clothesline. "You work all day and then you have to help me with housework when you come back. Don't you feel wronged?"
"What are you feeling wronged about?" Han Chen raised his hand and hung up a piece of clothing.
Zhou Mo just happened to have her back to him, so he put his hand around Zhou Mo's waist and hugged her from behind.
A slight force pulled Zhou Mo back slightly, and he leaned gently in Han Chen's arms, his back against his front.
Zhou Mo smiled and turned to look at him, "I still have to hang clothes."
"Hold it for a while and then hang it up to dry. There's no time to waste." Han Chen lowered his head and buried his chin in Zhou Mo's shoulder.
Zhou Mo felt itchy all over because of his actions, as if his ticklish spot was being tickled. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh too loudly, so he could only let him hold him.
"My junior brother lives over there," Zhou Mo pointed to the window of Qi Yan's house, "the one with blue curtains and a light on."
"The one with the broken hand?"
"My name is Qi Yan," Zhou Mo was amused. "Don't you remember people's names? They all call you 'Brother Han', but you call them 'the one with the broken hand'."
"Doctors can only remember the patient's illness and bed number, but not their name."
“…”
"Why is he renting so close?" Han Chen asked, "Does he have any bad intentions towards you?"
Zhou Mo smiled slightly and turned to look at him, "Are you jealous?"
"Really?" Han Chen frowned. "Doesn't he know you're married?"
"Look at you, such a stingy person," Zhou Mo loved Han Chen's fussy look. "I'm already a married woman, and he's just a kid who just graduated from college. What could he possibly care about me? He originally liked Ding Ning, but... Ding Ning already has someone she likes, and now she has a boyfriend. I guess Qi Yan's relationship is over."
"That'll do."
"What do you mean, that's fine?"
"It's none of my business who he likes, as long as it's not you."
"You think too much," Zhou Mo said with a smile, "You know my temper and personality. Apart from you, there are few people in this world who can stand me."
"Just because there aren't many people doesn't mean there are still some." Han Chen deliberately pinched Zhou Mo's waist and threatened, "Tell me, who are they?"
Zhou Mo's ticklish spot was pinched and she overreacted. She screamed and tried to break free from Han Chen's arms, but he held her tightly in his strong arms and she couldn't get away at all.
In the end, Zhou Mo, who was twisting left and right like a maggot, could only cry and laugh, begging for mercy again and again, "Ah - I'll tell you - please stop teasing me."
"Not enough," Han Chen had no intention of letting go.
"Please, please," Zhou Mo laughed until tears came out, "Hubby, I was wrong, please."
"Scream more."
"Husband, husband, husband...I was wrong..."
"That's more like it," Han Chen finally stopped and helped Zhou Mo stand upright. "Tell me, I want to hear who can tolerate you and indulge you."
"You, my dad, who else?"
"I don't believe it," Han Chen said, "What about your ex-boyfriend whom you never mentioned? The one behind me."
"Uh..." Zhou Mo was speechless for a moment.
"Is it inconvenient to say?"
"No," Zhou Mo thought for a moment, "I haven't figured out how to say it yet."
"Is there anything you haven't thought of yet? I'm not one to hold grudges, so feel free to speak up."
Zhou Mo looked at him suspiciously, "You don't hold a grudge, but you're jealous..."
Han Chen: “…”
Zhou Mo turned around and hugged Han Chen's waist. "The reason why I don't want to talk about it is all because of you."
"Blame me?" Han Chen was surprised. "You're dating your second boyfriend, so why are you blaming me?"
"Who told you to go abroad?" Zhou Mo snorted. "I finally got a place to go to Imperial Capital University as an exchange student. I thought I would meet you soon...but you went abroad...and you left with Luo Fu...What should I think..."
When Zhou Mo mentioned this, he choked up.
Some memories are so overwhelming that as soon as I recall them, the feelings of despair and helplessness at that time come flooding back.
"You thought I wouldn't come back, and that there was no possibility between us, so..."
"Um."
Han Chen pulled Zhou Mo over and hugged him tightly in his arms.
He never thought that three years after the breakup, after he had gotten over this short first love, Zhou Mo would run for him again.
"I hadn't originally planned on dating during my undergraduate years. I had so much classwork and was busy preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, so I didn't have the energy to do it... After I went to the Imperial Capital, you were gone... I thought, I can't just give up on my future life and stop dating, getting married, and having children just because you're not here. When I was an exchange student at Imperial Capital University, he happened to be our senior student leading the team, and that's how we met."
"Dating just after we met?"
"No," Zhou Mo said, "You don't have to get to know someone before you start dating them. How can you just start dating right away?" Zhou Mo thought for a moment and said, "He just took us to Imperial Capital University to register and handle the handover. After the handover, he and the teacher returned to Dongjiang. He was two years older than me and was busy graduating and preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam. He and I really started when I was about to be a senior. He took the exam for the first time at our university and did well, but regretted it and chose to take the Imperial Capital exam for the second time. I was disqualified from the recommendation, and in a fit of anger, I gave up the postgraduate entrance exam. He was determined to go to Imperial Capital and insisted on taking the exam. We had different ideas, so we broke up."
