☆, Chapter 36
Xiu Yangui complained to Xi Mo about Moli, and also said something about Xi Mo, "Moli is too stupid. She doesn't understand what you say to her. It's like she's talking to you. It's completely irrelevant."
This is pure servility. Xiu Yangui is just like a little boy. He likes someone and he wants to make that person angry. He is so childish.
Xi Mo defended herself: "I understand."
"Really, Xi Momo."
"Yes."
There was only the kitten-like appearance of Moli and Xi Mo's face on the screen. Xiu Yangui enlarged Xi Mo's screen, saying it was to make it easier for Moli to watch. In fact, he just wanted to watch it and took many screenshots secretly.
The two were having a meaningless conversation, but in reality Xiu Yangui was just trying to gain attention because he was not happy that Xi Mo only paid attention to the kitten.
"Look, it's biting the string of my sweatshirt again. It's so stupid, just like Xi Momo."
Xi Mo would not get angry either, and would softly retort: "It's different, I don't bite the rope."
During the casual chat, Xiu Yangui was able to get a glimpse of the club through Xi Mo's camera. It was a high-end place that Xiu Yangui could not access, and the people inside were also high-class people that he could never meet.
Xiu Yangui ended the meaningless conversation and changed the subject, "Are you happy today?"
Talking about today, Xi Mo's slightly happy expression immediately drooped, "Not happy."
"Really? But I saw the restaurant behind you, it seems pretty good."
Xi Mo turned her head and took a look, her expression was indifferent and a little disgusted, "Not good, not good at all."
Xiu Yangui was glad that he was not in the camera, otherwise Xi Mo would have seen him laughing.
"Yeah, there's nothing good about that place. I'm so comfortable at home, free and unrestrained, and I have Moli."
"It's so nice to have a kitten by my side."
Xiu Yangui said that just to make Xi Mo envious. He did it on purpose. After saying it, he felt that he was bad and not a good person.
Xi Mo was indeed extremely envious. She frowned, pursed her lips, and said whatever came to her mind, "I want to go to your house to play."
"Come to my house and play? Can you come?"
That’s right, it was with this calm and peaceful tone that Xiu Yangui praised himself, and he absolutely couldn’t let Xi Mo hear the secret joy in his heart.
Continuing to press on with the victory, "If you can come, of course you're welcome, but you're very busy, aren't you?"
"By the way, if you don't come again, Moli might forget about you."
Xiu Yangui used a powerful move, and Xi Mo became really anxious, "I'll go to your house tomorrow, uh..."
She spoke too quickly, without thinking at all. Seeing this, Xiu Yangui knew that she would probably have something to do tomorrow.
"What's wrong? Can't you come tomorrow?"
Unlike Xiu Yangui's feigned reserve, Xi Mo directly expressed her inner disappointment, "I can't go. I have dinner with Aunt Peng Peng and Xi Ruoling tomorrow."
"Xi Ruoling?"
Xiu Yangui sat up straight, and his tone became serious and hard.
"Well, my mom and his mom are good friends. We're going to have dinner together tomorrow."
Good friends? Dinner?
Why haven't I heard Xi Mo say that she knows Xi Ruoling?
"How could I not know? Have you eaten here before? Did you know Xi Ruoling before?"
Xiu Yangui was a little angry. How could he only know such an important thing now? He spoke very quickly, and the impatience and annoyance in his tone were no longer concealed, but Xi Mo didn't hear it.
"Yes, when I was in elementary and middle school."
Then she thought about the first question Xiu Yangui had asked her, which she hadn't answered yet. "Actually, I don't know either. I only remembered it when I saw Aunt Peng Peng."
After Xi Mo said this, Xiu Yangui understood. After a few seconds, he suddenly changed his tone again, still impatient but full of concern.
"Does it give you a headache? When you think back."
Xi Mo's miserable appearance with a splitting headache a week ago was deeply engraved in Xiu Yangui's mind. Whenever the word "miss" was mentioned, he would get nervous.
"It doesn't hurt, I just remembered it."
If you don’t think about it deliberately, your head won’t hurt. Xi Mo discovered this rule.
Xiu Yangui was puzzled. "What's wrong with you? Why do you have a headache? Why don't you remember anything?"
Xi Mo only had a slight guess, "Maybe it's because he was sick."
It's strange to say, Xi Mo doesn't get sick often, and it's even more unrealistic that she gets sick with such a serious illness that causes amnesia and headaches. The only two times she got seriously ill before were on the second and third days of the Chinese New Year, and she was hospitalized at that time.
Xiu Yangui only knew that one of the reasons for her hospitalization was that she was abused by the evil housekeeper in the third year of junior high school and had a high fever and was hospitalized.
As for the incident in the second year of junior high school, he didn't know the reason either. At that time, he was in a state of confusion.
My mother went abroad, was kicked and beaten by Fang Sai's mother, and was hated by the neighbors. Xi Mo was not around because she had taken a leave of absence.
Xiu Yangui gathered his scattered thoughts, took a deep breath, and finally decided to ask, "Do you remember when you asked for leave in the second year of junior high? You were away for more than a week that time."
"So long? I don't remember."
Xi Mo really had no impression at all. Now that Xiu Yan Guiyi had mentioned it, she seemed to have a vague image, which was black and very depressing.
"It's okay if you don't remember. It's okay if you don't remember. Don't think about it. It will give you a headache."
Since you don’t remember it, just let it go. It’s good the way they are now.
Xiu Yangui was afraid that she would force him to remember it, which would give him a headache again, so he comforted her by saying, "You'll remember it later. Don't think about it now. Just look at Moli."
The two did not talk about the past for the rest of the time. Xiu Yangui interacted with Moli, allowing Xi Mo to concentrate on watching the kitten.
Xi Mo was sitting in the car on the way home, and the scenery outside was constantly receding.
She was wondering why her memory was missing and why she had no recollection of asking for leave in the second grade of junior high school. Even Xiu Yangui didn't know what happened.
And what about those dark and depressing feelings that are buried deep in my memory, which I felt after experiencing certain things in the past?
This memory is sealed in a locked and chained wooden box. She can only watch from the outside but cannot touch the truth inside.
Xi Mo still couldn't think of anything, and her head began to ache slightly. She decided to ask Xi Yicheng and Ruan Wenwen, maybe they knew.
"Mom and Dad, why was I hospitalized in the second year of junior high school?"
Xi Yicheng glanced at Xi Mo in the rearview mirror. "Second year of junior high school? Yes, you had a high fever and were hospitalized for two days before you recovered."
Ruan Wenwen also thought about it and said, "Yes, I have a fever. It's quite severe. What's wrong, Momo?"
"It's okay, I'm just asking."
I had a high fever. I also had a high fever when I was in the third grade of junior high school.
Xi Mo felt that her headache and amnesia were the result of two high fevers mixed together, the consequence of the two superpositions.
Something happened in the second year of junior high school that hurt her both physically and mentally. She had a high fever. Her body recovered, but her mind was not. She didn't know it herself. Then she was abused in the third year of junior high school and had a fever again.
Two high fevers caused the current headache and amnesia.
What exactly happened that time?
From those blurry images, Xi Mo could feel that this matter was related to Xiu Yangui.
Although it had no direct relationship with him, it also had a great impact on Xiu Yangui.
Things buried deep inside are like Pandora's box. If she doesn't touch it or try to open it, then everything will be fine and the past will go with the wind.
But if she insisted on opening it, Xi Mo's head would explode like a flame entering a confined space filled with gas.
Recalling the tearing pain, Xi Mo didn't dare to get any closer to it. She could only hide on the edge and test it, moving closer step by step.
She had to remember that she had made a promise to Xiu Yangui, and Xiu Yangui had promised to wait for her.
She believed that the truth of everything would come to light and any difficulties would be solved. She was calmer and more determined than ever before.
Because now she has him, he will always be with her at any time.
In the last few days of the winter vacation, Xi Yicheng and Ruan Wenwen left home again, and Xi Mo started going out to play when she had some free time.
I first set aside a day to go shopping with Qin Xinwei, watch a movie, check in at popular tourist attractions, and finally go home happily.
It feels really good to go out and play with friends. Xi Mo also seems like a real seventeen-year-old girl, feeling joy and excitement for the first time in a long time at all kinds of new and cute things.
The next day, Xi Mo attended Xiu Yangui's 18th birthday party, which was held at Xiu Yangui's home. It was only his first birthday party, and there would be a second one.
Although he is a social butterfly in school, Xiu Yangui has a strong sense of boundaries, so the first group is with the people he thinks are closest to him, and the second group is with his classmates in school.
Only a few people were invited to his house, including Xi Mo, Chen Nianyu, and Zhou Beizhen.
However, Zhou Beizhen was still in his hometown and couldn't make it back, so he could only attend the birthday party in the evening.
So now there are only three people and a cat at home. Xiu Yangui leans on the sofa and makes phone calls to reserve a private room and drinks for the evening. Moli lies in her little nest and takes a nap. Chen Nianyu pulls Xi Mo to sit on the carpet to play games and also calls Lan.
Incidentally, Lan's real name is Yu Lan. Chen Nianyu and Yu Lan met in person during the winter break, and now they are not only online friends, but also friends.
"Come on, Princess, get online. Yu Lan will be here soon."
"By the way, Ah Yan, can I invite Yu Lan to your birthday party tonight? I want to introduce him to Ah Zhen and the others."
"Can."
He booked the two largest private rooms, which were definitely big enough to fit everyone in.
Chen Nianyu chatted with Xi Mo while playing games.
"Princess, do you rich second-generations always eat at high-end restaurants when you visit relatives?"
"I look at Ah Heng's circle of friends. He posts pictures every day. They look really high-end and classy."
Xi Mo nodded, then shook her head, "They are not relatives, but friends of the family and partners of the company."
"Yeah," Chen Nianyu nodded. "I also saw a photo of you, Ah Heng, and Xi Ruoling having dinner together. Why isn't my Zihan in it?"
Zi Han?
Xi Mo paused, and before she could say anything, she saw Chen Nianyu burst into laughter after he finished speaking. She looked up at Xiu Yangui helplessly.
Xiu Yangui blinked at her soothingly, "It's just a tantrum, it's okay."
Chen Nianyu finished laughing and continued to ask, "Are you three so familiar with each other?"
Hearing this, Xiu Yangui stopped listening and explained for Xi Mo: "The rich second generation is a circle, it's normal for the three of them to have dinner together."
"Oh, I see."
"I heard from Ah Yan that you and your parents flew to City X. Was it fun there?"
"They're working there, it's not fun."
Chen Nianyu's mouth was never idle. He wanted to talk about everything and recite everything. After one game, he asked Xi Mo everything she had done during the entire holiday, and Chen Nianyu was still not satisfied.
"Ah, is this your winter break? Princess, aren't you bored? Don't you have any other friends besides us?"
"I don't have any other friends."
Faced with Xi Mo's honest answer, Chen Nianyu was a little confused. He was best friends with Xiu Yangui and the others, but he also had other friends, classmates from junior high school and elementary school. He had always kept in touch with them and would go out for dinner with them.
"No other friends? What about your good friends from elementary school and junior high school?"
Xi Mo glanced at Xiu Yangui and said, "Here."
"ah…"
"ah?"
Not only Chen Nianyu, Xiu Yangui was also a little confused. It turned out that he was Xi Mo's former good friend. He never knew.
Xiu Yangui always thought that he had been pestering Xi Mo to make friends with her since childhood, and Xi Mo only always indulged him because of her excellent upbringing and etiquette.
It turns out that in Xi Mo's heart, he is a good friend.
"But didn't you guys have any communication at all during your freshman year of high school? I didn't even know you two knew each other."
Speaking of this, Xi Mo was also a little strange. In her previous life, she thought that although she and Xiu Yangui were childhood sweethearts, their relationship had always been cold.
It was not until the car accident that she realized Xiu Yangui's feelings for her and understood that he was not without feelings for her.
After her new life, she could see how much Xiu Yangui cared about her, and it was a bright and shining emotion.
Then why was there no communication before?
It seemed to have started in the second year of junior high school, but she had no recollection of it.
She spent some time in a daze after being discharged from the hospital, and had no idea who was talking to her.
My mind was not clear, and my five senses seemed to be completely blocked. I could only face everyone passively.
Did Xiu Yangui come to see me at that time?
Did you go to find Xiu Yangui yourself?
Just like that, the two of them got separated.
Xiu Yangui began to feel nervous and guilty. He was the one who was wrong to Xi Mo in this matter. He was the one who distanced himself from Xi Mo first.
He was sensitive and fragile at that time, and felt that Xi Mo was very cold towards him. Although Xi Mo was not very enthusiastic about him, he was just nitpicking at that time, waiting for Xi Mo to take the initiative to find him, instead of taking the initiative to find Xi Mo.
Awkward and stubborn.
"Why, Ayan, did you have a fight when you were in high school?"
Xi Mo also looked at Xiu Yangui, waiting for his answer.
Xiu Yangui was racking his brains, thinking of how to explain, "Because, because I've grown up."
Yes, because I've grown up.
His strong self-esteem made him want to abandon everything in the past, abandon his mistress mother, abandon the fact that he was an illegitimate child, abandon the experience of being glared at, beaten and scolded, and even abandon Xi Mo, who knew everything about his past.
