"Get in the car, I'll take you home," Zhou Mo said.
Zhao Xiaoshuang's eyes were full of stars: "Then I won't be polite."
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Zhou Mo smiled and opened the door of the cab.
After Zhao Xiaoshuang got in the car and fastened her seat belt, Zhou Mo started the car and took Zhao Xiaoshuang back to the dormitory.
On the way.
"Why didn't I see Liu Kai this afternoon?" Zhou Mo asked.
"Teacher Chu called me away again," Zhao Xiaoshuang said, "and he asked me to give Guotie Brother some private 'make-up lessons.'"
Zhou Mo frowned, "It's about the code again?"
Zhao Xiaoshuang: "Why not? Guotie brother isn't focused on studying. He's always thinking about those unorthodox things. It's hard for Teacher Chu to care about him so much, but he doesn't care at all."
Zhou Mo said angrily, "Liu Kai is not Teacher Chu's student. Isn't his time his own? His father was sick before, and he fell behind in many things. Now he is trying to catch up. How can he let them take advantage of him like this?"
Zhao Xiaoshuang: "After all, Teacher Chu is a teacher, and she has a good relationship with Director Shen, so it's hard for Liu Kai to refuse."
Zhou Mo: "Does Director Shen know about this?"
Zhao Xiaoshuang: "I don't know what to say. It's not like Teacher Chu hasn't helped Director Shen before."
If we go into more detail, it will be difficult to distinguish.
This is not a big deal. After careful analysis, it is indeed Liu Kai who suffered a loss.
But it seems difficult to make any requests when helping the teacher.
This kind of "moral kidnapping" is probably the most uncomfortable.
Whether you are willing or not, you have to do it. There are too many interests involved, and it is not something a small graduate student can resist.
It is impossible for Shen Qingyi to turn against Chu Xia for such a small matter. At most, he will turn a blind eye. Maybe he will even be polite to Chu Xia and send Zhao Xiaoshuang and her to Chu Xia for use.
Although he knew that this was a helpless move, Zhou Mo felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Perhaps this is a common problem among the Liu family. Once they identify someone as one of their own, they cannot bear to see them suffer any injustice.
Zhou Mo was influenced by his surroundings since he was a child and had the same way of thinking.
"Where's Ding Ning?" Zhou Mo asked, "Why isn't she here?"
Zhao Xiaoshuang: "She said she went to class, but... I have her schedule, and she doesn't have any class today."
Zhou Mo frowned: "What's wrong with Xiao Ding? Why is he hiding something from us?"
Zhao Xiaoshuang: "Who knows. But I saw her staring at her phone and grinning a lot the other day. I felt like she was probably in love."
Zhou Mo: "What's going on? Do you have any news?"
Zhao Xiaoshuang shook her head: "You know this girl, she's very tight-lipped. No matter how much you try to insinuate yourself, she won't say anything."
Zhou Mo: "When children grow up, they inevitably have their own little secrets."
Zhao Xiaoshuang: "Senior Sister, your tone sounds like an old mother."
Zhou Mo glanced at her.
Zhao Xiaoshuang shut up instantly. She looked ahead and said immediately, "I'm here. There's a place to park up ahead."
Zhou Mo parked the car on the side of the road.
Zhao Xiaoshuang said goodbye to her and got off the car.
Zhou Mo said goodbye and navigated to a nearby vegetable market.
She bought a lot of things and decided to "bribe" Han Chen.
Just after buying groceries and getting in the car, Han Chen sent a message saying that he would be home soon.
Zhou Mo got into the car in a hurry and drove back.
After arriving home.
Han Chen came out of the kitchen chewing a cucumber. Seeing Zhou Mo with her hands full of things, he put the cucumber on the dining table and hurried over to take the things from her hands.
"You bought so many things, why didn't you let me pick you up downstairs?" Han Chen frowned.
"Not bad," Zhou Mo said with a smile, "If I didn't have a car, I would definitely ask you to pick me up. Now that I have a car, it's much more convenient."
"It seems I bought the wrong car," Han Chen said. "It has taken away all my usefulness."
Zhou Mo smiled, "Who said you are useless? Today I will give you a difficult task."
Han Chen: "What mission?"
Zhou Mo: "Keep your stomach open and eat as much as you can. I'm going to cook tonight and make a delicious meal. I'm going to cook seriously."
Han Chen frowned and looked at Zhou Mo with suspicion, "Did you know my dad was coming and practice cooking in advance?"
"Uh--" Zhou Mo opened the handbag that Han Chen placed on the dining table and took out the dishes inside.
"Han Chen." Zhou Mo called softly.
"Um?"
"I want to tell you something," Zhou Mo put down the food in his hand with hesitation.
"What's wrong?" Han Chen asked worriedly, "Have you encountered any difficulties in your studies, or has your teacher asked you to do something again?"
"Neither," Zhou Mo said, "but...my teacher has a national project to participate in soon and can take me with him."
"This is a good thing," Han Chen said.
"It's a good thing, but—the day after tomorrow my teacher is taking me to the capital for a meeting. Your father is coming to Dongjiang in the next two days, so the meeting will take at least five days, so..."
Han Chen was slightly stunned, obviously caught off guard.
"What do you think?" Zhou Mo asked cautiously.
Han Chen was helpless and smiled bitterly, "Your advisor only brought you on this project, right?"
"Um."
"It means your teacher thinks highly of you and is interested in cultivating you."
"Um."
"Go ahead," Han Chen said. "This is a rare opportunity. If you miss it, it's gone. You can meet my dad anytime. Besides, this is mainly a meeting between both sets of parents. It's fine as long as Uncle Zhou and Aunt Liu are here."
Zhou Mo was so moved that she suddenly hugged Han Chen and threw herself into his arms.
"It's so kind of you."
"When was I not okay?"
Han Chen patted Zhou Mo on the back and said, "The fact that you can participate in such a high-level project shows that you are also very outstanding. I am so happy to have found such an outstanding wife."
Zhou Mo had been worried that Han Chen wouldn't understand, that he would feel disappointed, or that he would overthink things. But Han Chen was so understanding, how could Zhou Mo control himself?
Her eyes were already wet.
How could there be such a good husband like Han Chen in this world?
Zhou Mo felt that he had accumulated blessings for several lifetimes to meet someone like Han Chen.
"You just say nice things to coax me," Zhou Mo's eyes were red, and there was a sparkle in them.
Han Chen helped her scrape it off gently with his thumb and said with a smile, "If I don't tell you the nice things, who should I tell them to?"
Zhou Mo was filled with joy and hugged Han Chen tightly and rocked him.
Damn, she likes it so much.
Han Chen also hugged her, lowered his head and gently kissed the top of her head, "Are you still cooking? I'm hungry."
"Do it!" Zhou Mo's eyes were full of smiles. "What do you want to eat?"
"I don't have anything in particular I want to eat. I like anything you cook."
Zhou Mo stood on tiptoe and pecked his lips. "You're really getting more and more talkative. Aunt Liang always says you're dumb, but I think... humph, you're the one with the smooth talk."
"I've given you all my smooth talking skills. I can't say them to anyone else."
Zhou Mo couldn't help laughing. Looking at Han Chen, he liked him more and more. He stood on tiptoe to kiss him on the cheek, then took the dishes into the kitchen.
Han Chen touched his face, which had been kissed, and the corners of his lips curved.
