"You are stupid," Zhou Mo complained, her eyes were already so sore that tears were about to burst out.
Han Chen also couldn't bear to leave Zhou Mo.
It had only been a short time since they had publicly announced their marriage, and they hadn't even had a few days of good times. He had been busy in the hospital and rarely went home.
Now we have to separate again.
Who is willing to do that?
"My second brother has said he'll help with Ren Huaibo's matter. Just focus on your studies," Han Chen said. "The weather has been bad lately, so you should keep warm and avoid unfamiliar places. There might be heavy rain in Dongjiang in the next few days. Your car has a low chassis, so it would be bad if it encountered waterlogging."
"Yeah," Zhou Mo couldn't bear to hear Han Chen's farewell instructions. The more he spoke, the more Zhou Mo wanted to cry.
"Okay, stop pouting. You're about to get hung up on me," Han Chen gently scratched Zhou Mo's nose. "Smile! Your husband is leaving, and you don't even smile back?"
The more he teased her like this, the more Zhou Mo couldn't hold it in. How could she have the heart to laugh?
"Hateful," Zhou Mo tried to slap his hand away, but was a beat too late. She closed her eyes and couldn't hold back the tears that fell.
"I won't tease you anymore," Han Chen raised his hand and gently brushed her off with his index finger, "Let's go back, okay?"
Zhou Mo wiped his face carelessly and looked at him reluctantly, "I'm leaving."
She thought she was very strong, but God knew how difficult it was for her to open the car door, get in, start the car and leave.
No one knows what will happen to Han Chen when he leaves, and no one knows when he will come back.
Looking at the person gradually disappearing in the rearview mirror, the urge to cry started to come over me again.
She tried to tell herself to be strong in her heart. It was just a trip to Manshan County, no big deal.
But self-comfort seems to be of no use.
On the way back, the feeling of reluctance lingered in her mind and could not be shaken off.
It was drizzling outside the car, and Zhou Mo was crying inside the car.
After Han Chen left, she felt as if all her spiritual support was gone.
Without him, she has to rely on herself for everything.
It was obvious that before Han Chen was around, she felt she could live well on her own. Why was it that she was completely unable to adapt after Han Chen was away for just a short while?
Habits are terrible things.
As the car arrived at Xiangbin Yali, Zhou Zheng called.
Zhou Mo quickly gathered his emotions and answered, "Hello, Dad, what's going on?"
"I saw on the news that the second medical team from the First Hospital of Dongda University is going to Manshan. Is Han Chen among them?"
Zhou Mo didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"He's got him, right?"
No one knows a daughter better than her father. Zhou Mo’s silence revealed all the answers.
"Didn't he tell your Aunt Liang?"
Zhou Mo responded softly: "Yeah."
"This kid, he just got married, and your Aunt Liang isn't in good health, so why would he want to get involved?" Zhou Zheng sighed anxiously. "Well, I understand. He's a doctor, and his responsibilities are greater than heaven."
"His registered place of practice is in Manshan. He is at the front of the line among those who are eligible to go to Manshan. This is the rule of the First Hospital of Dongda University, and it is what he should do," Zhou Mo said. "If he doesn't go, others will have to go."
"Alright, alright," Zhou Zheng knew it was too late to say anything. He couldn't persuade these two children. "For now, keep this a secret from your Aunt Liang. She has a weak heart. If she hears Han Chen go to Manshan, she might not be able to handle it."
"I know, Han Chen told me that," Zhou Mo asked, "How are my uncle and the others? Is the situation in Yushan okay?"
"There's been flooding, but it's mostly in the mountains and forests. A few roads in the town have been flooded, but nothing else," Zhou Zheng said. "I heard the flooding is pretty big and hasn't stopped yet. It's been raining in Dongjiang for the past few days, so be careful when you go out."
"I know," Zhou Mo said, "You and my mom too, be careful when you go out."
"I'll pick up your mom from get off work, so don't worry."
"Yeah," Zhou Mo saw the barrier at the entrance of the community rise up, started the car and drove in.
She didn't notice at all.
On the other side, the barrier exiting the community rose at the same time, and a brand new gray Cadillac ATS-L quickly drove out of the community and passed by Zhou Mo.
Zhou Mo caught a glimpse of it inadvertently out of the corner of his eye.
That seems to be Qi Yan's car.
I didn't see the license plate, so I can't be sure.
Before the call was hung up, Liu Xiangru's voice suddenly came, "Momo, why don't you just go home, huh? Han Chen is not here either. If you come back, I'll just make dinner. Come over and eat together."
"No, Mom," Zhou Mo said, "I still have some work to deal with. My teacher has several projects running at the same time recently, so it's a bit overwhelming."
"Okay," Liu Xiangru said dejectedly, "take care of yourself and eat well, okay?"
"Yeah, I know," Zhou Mo said, "You guys should eat quickly too."
After hanging up the phone with Liu Xiangru, Zhou Mo parked the car downstairs and for a moment he was a little reluctant to get out.
To be precise, she didn't want to go home.
I will go back alone.
She sat in the car for a while, and when she had rested enough, she pushed open the door and got out.
The rain had not stopped yet, and she hurried into the apartment building with an umbrella.
Han Chen was not around, so she hadn't cooked properly these days and just made some noodles to get by.
I just promised Liu Xiangru on the phone that she would eat well, but she didn't do it at all.
Today Zhou Mo just made do with it and had instant noodles for dinner.
While eating instant noodles, Zhou Mo took out his phone, opened WeChat, and found Chen Pan.
I haven't talked to her much these days and don't know how she is doing recently.
Zhou Mo greeted: Girl, have you finished drawing the sixth chapter?
Shen Pan: We are attacking.
Zhou Mo: Are you free now?
Chen Pan: Yes. What's wrong with you? Are you feeling down? I'd like to chat with you.
Zhou Mo: It’s not that I’m in a bad mood.
Chen Pan: What happened?
Zhou Mo: Just... just think of it as me being in a bad mood.
Chen Pan: Did you quarrel with Han Chen again?
Zhou Mo: Let’s not quarrel since I came here eight hundred years ago, okay?
Chen Pan: What happened?
Zhou Mo thought about it and decided to tell Chen Pan about Han Chen’s trip to Manshan.
Chen Pan: I understand. You're suffering from lovesickness. You become upset when someone is not around, right?
Zhou Mo: ...
Chen Pan: You don’t have to deny it, because I feel the same way.
Zhou Mo: ...
Chen Pan: You actually know that it’s not a big deal, but you just can’t help but think about it, worrying about his safety, and worrying about what to do if he doesn’t have enough food or sleep over there.
Zhou Mo: ...
All of them came true.
Chen Pan: If you ask me, there's no solution to this problem. Every woman would think so. The only solution is to endure until Han Chen comes back.
Zhou Mo: Indeed.
Chen Pan: How about playing a few games? I'll let Lu Zhishu help us get higher scores.
Zhou Mo: Now you have the chance to show your affection in front of me.
Chen Pan: Hehe. You found me.
Zhou Mo: Isn't Lu Zhishu busy? Do you still have time to play games?
