"Why don't you live in the dormitory?"
Zhou Mo glared at him speechlessly, "It's inconvenient to sell things."
As for what to sell, he knows.
“Why sell things?”
"Lack of money."
Han Chen was slightly stunned. "How much is missing?"
Zhou Mo cast a suspicious look at Han Chen, "Why are you asking so many questions?"
"See if I can help you. After all... even if we're not husband and wife, we're still friends."
Zhou Mo snorted, "Didn't you just say that after the divorce, we'd be strangers?"
Han Chen looked unnatural, "Aren't you still divorced?"
"Okay," he said, and Zhou Mo admitted defeat. "I'll go first."
As soon as I pushed open the car door with my right hand, I suddenly felt a warm and strong force on my left hand.
Zhou Mo lowered his head and looked at the back of his hand being held in Han Chen's palm. The burning touch instantly flowed up along the blood vessels on the back of his hand and penetrated his limbs and bones.
She was dazed for a moment and pulled her hand back in an instant. The residual warmth on the back of her hand made her breathing disordered for a moment.
"Is there something?" Zhou Mo tried his best to calm down.
Han Chen's empty palms felt cold. He clenched his fists slightly, his expression normal as he asked, "Didn't you say you were short of money? How much?"
Zhou Mo was stunned for a moment. He actually took her joke seriously...
I felt a mixture of emotions for a moment.
"Thank you for your kindness, but... I don't think our friendship is close enough to allow us to easily discuss money. Being short of money is just talk. Who doesn't need money these days? I haven't seen anyone starve to death because of lack of money."
Han Chen looked at her in surprise, holding the steering wheel, speechless for a moment.
Zhou Mo said nothing more, pushed the door open and got out of the car, adjusted the shoulder bag on his shoulder, and walked quickly towards the entrance of the community.
In the late spring in Dongjiang, the willow trees are covered with fresh green, their branches hang down, and the breeze blows by. Under the warm sunshine, the shadows cast on the sidewalk are mottled and flickering.
Zhou Mo's thoughts were in a mess, and she walked forward with her head down. She had a hunch that the person behind her had not left.
"Momo?!"
A scream from not far away brought Zhou Mo back to reality.
Zhou Mo looked up, "Mom?"
I saw Liu Xiangru holding a basket of vegetables in her hand, it seemed that she had just come back from buying vegetables.
"Why did you go grocery shopping this afternoon?"
"Your father is feeling unwell again and hasn't eaten much today. I'll go buy him some of his favorite dishes so he can eat more in the evening."
"Is my dad okay?" Zhou Mo asked worriedly.
"It's nothing, it's just that Yu is pissed off, and he's feeling a bit sullen. He's a very proud man, and he used to work in the provincial government, so he wouldn't tolerate such humiliation."
Zhou Mo nodded, knowing his father's temper.
Zhou Zheng used to be the team leader in charge of Ai Meiyi at the Provincial Center for Disease Control. In Dongjiang, he can be regarded as the most authoritative expert in the prevention of Ai Meiyi.
He works in a high-ranking department and is an expert. He is treated with courtesy wherever he goes. How could he ever be bullied?
Zhou Zheng is as his name suggests, he lives a very upright life. He has always been just an expert and a nominal team leader. He is not very tactful and cannot be promoted. He has been working in this position for decades.
Later, his health deteriorated and he fell seriously ill, so he retired early.
There is no way. When the disease control department is idle, it is idle, but when it is tiring, it is really tiring.
Going to the countryside, working night shifts, running around, irregular work and rest schedule, and low salary. Although it sounds like a public servant, but... that's just the way it is.
Zhou Zheng is too pretentious and has too much of the aloofness of an intellectual.
If you meet a reasonable person, you can talk to him about everything and convince him. But if you meet an unreasonable person, like Yu Yizhou, it's like a scholar meeting a soldier, and you're the only one who gets angry.
Zhou Mo took the basket of vegetables from Liu Xiangru's hand and asked, "You didn't go to work today?"
"I've asked for leave. I'm worried about your dad being like this."
As soon as she finished speaking, a blue-black BMW slowly passed by Liu Xiangru. The window of the cab was open. Although she only took a quick glance, Liu Xiangru still felt that the person in the cab looked familiar.
"That person... looks so familiar!"
Zhou Mo turned around following Liu Xiangru's gaze and only saw the rear of the car. However, the license plate on the back of the car clearly showed that the person who just passed by was Han Chen.
"This car is very expensive. How could we know such a person?" Zhou Mo deliberately confused the audience.
"No, no, no," Liu Xiangru held Zhou Mo and thought hard in her mind. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "It was the doctor in the emergency room that day!"
Zhou Mo's heart skipped a beat. It was over. Her mother actually recognized her.
Just at a glance, Zhou Mo had to admire Liu Xiangru's memory.
Afraid that Liu Xiangru would think further and associate it with Han Chen, Zhou Mo said indifferently, "Really?"
"Didn't you go to the hospital? He's Yu Yizhou's attending physician. His last name is Han. Haven't you seen him? No, his last name is Han..." Liu Xiangru suddenly realized something. "He looks a lot like Han Chen, who used to live across the street from us... Could they be the same person? I'll ask your Aunt Liang when I meet her someday."
Zhou Mo's heart was hit hard. It was over. Her mother was determined not to give up.
However, Zhou Mo could only make a random excuse: "How is he similar? Don't think every handsome guy looks familiar to you."
"You saw it too?"
"No."
"How do you know he's a handsome guy if you haven't seen him?"
“…”
Zhou Mo was speechless. Her mother was indeed a math teacher and her logic was extremely strong.
"Let's go home, I'm hungry," Zhou Mo took Liu Xiangru's arm and took her home.
Liu Xiangru was immersed in the previous topic, "Momo, tell me, were you and Han Chen dating at that time?"
"Mom, that was a rumor from ages ago. Why are you asking these questions?" Zhou Mo really didn't want to admit it.
Liu Xiangru snorted softly, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I saw it with my own eyes. There used to be a newsstand at the intersection in front of the community gate. I saw you two being affectionate there several times."
Zhou Mo was embarrassed. The old things were brought up again, and they were embarrassing things from his youth. Zhou Mo really wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Although she always insisted on not admitting that she had been in a relationship with Han Chen, she could deceive Liu Xiangru but not herself.
Seeing Zhou Mo remained silent, Liu Xiangru sighed slightly, "We used to be so concerned that we were distracted. During the crucial time of the college entrance exam, we didn't want all those messy things to interfere with your studies. Now... I kind of regret it. If you and Han Chen had gone to the capital together... your love life wouldn't be so bumpy now. You have three boyfriends, and none of them are worry-free."
"Mom, let's not talk about regrets, okay?" Zhou Mo was extremely upset.
"Okay, but first tell me, were you and Han Chen dating at that time?"
"No." Zhou Mo still insisted.
Liu Xiangru looked at Zhou Mo carefully and said meaningfully, "That's good."
Zhou Mo didn't understand what she meant.
A faint smile suddenly appeared on Liu Xiangru's face. "If you two haven't dated before, it won't be awkward when you meet in the future."
"Meet?" Zhou Mo was puzzled.
"Yeah, think about it, if your Aunt Liang moves in, she'll definitely run into Han Chen. And... you two are classmates, you know each other well, maybe in the future..."
