☆, Chapter 49
The five of them chatted and laughed as they played another round. This round went more smoothly. If Deng Yue and Wang Yijiajia hadn't been there, Xiao Qi would have wanted to suggest kicking Deng Yue out and replacing him with Xi Mo.
Chen Nianyu thought the same thing and whispered, "Oh, if only the princess didn't participate in the competition that day, we could go together and win first place."
"Ah? So Xi Xiaomo is going to participate in the competition. I thought..."
Xiao Qi's eyes moved between Xi Mo and Xiu Yangui. She thought that Xiu Yangui, like Deng Yue, came with his girlfriend.
After spending half a day together, I found out that Xi Mo was actually good at playing, but she had a competition, so she couldn't participate.
"What a shame! Xi Xiaomo played really well. We were absolutely invincible in this game. No one could compare to us."
This was said a little loudly, and the two people on the sofa heard it. Wang Yijiajia yelled: "If she's good at playing, why don't you all go compete together? Why let Deng Yue come? Are you kidding us?"
Xiao Qi was surprised and covered her mouth with her hand. "Ah? Deng Yue is here? I didn't see him. Where did he go?"
"We've already finished a game, and he still hasn't shown up? Why has he been gone for so long? What's been going on? What's holding him back?"
Xiao Qi is worthy of being called a little firecracker, even more fiery than her hair color. With just a few words, she made Wang Yijiajia speechless, and she pulled Deng Yue away.
"Let's go! Deng Yue! They don't care about you anyway, so why are you still here? You're all a bunch of bitches!"
"Come on, big sister, it was you who got angry for no reason, and then Deng Yue went to comfort you, okay? Do we have to wait for him to comfort you before we can play games?"
"What kind of identity or status do you have? If you're that good, just help us win the championship."
I have to say, it’s great to have Xiaoqi around, and he said everything they wanted to say.
Deng Yue also felt that Wang Yijia was wrong to do this, and broke free from her hand, "Jiajia, stop being angry, everyone is watching us, sit back, sit back, don't argue anymore, don't argue anymore."
"Sorry everyone, I'll be right there."
Deng Yue's polite apology calmed everyone down a bit, but Wang Yijia was still cursing, "Why are you staying here? Don't you see their attitude? They look down on you. Can't you just be a little tougher?"
Xiao Qi continued to add fuel to the fire, "Don't blame others for what you have done. Who looked down on him?"
"I'm not talking about anyone else. I only have a big problem with you. If you weren't here, we would definitely have a lot of fun."
Looking at Wang Yijiajia who was so angry that his teeth were bared, Xiaoqi smiled even sweeter. She did it on purpose because Wang Yijiajia was the first to curse.
Xiu Yangui re-entered the game and clicked on the game invitation. "Let's play two more rounds, and then we'll disband."
The backbone spoke, Deng Yue comforted Wang Yijiajia hastily and sat down to play games. Wang Yijiajia stopped making noises and sat there angrily, staring at them playing games.
After the two games, Wang Yijiajia immediately grabbed Deng Yue and left, giving them a cold look before leaving.
Xiao Qi picked up the headphones and said, "Okay, I'm leaving too. See you next week."
Chen Nianyu: "Bye, Xiaoqi."
Xi Mo waved to Xiao Qi and said, "Goodbye, be careful on the road."
Xiao Qi smiled mischievously, "How thoughtful, Xi Xiaomo, muah."
Xiu Yangui originally wanted to say goodbye to Xiaoqi, but now he kept his mouth shut.
Very good, that damn Xiaoqi won’t get his “see you next week”.
Although there was a lot of fighting today, the result was pretty good. The five people cooperated well. Although Deng Yue sometimes couldn't keep up with the rhythm and didn't listen to instructions very well, because he had a girlfriend, no one was too harsh on him.
It's Sunday again, and this time we agreed to meet at Maile Internet Cafe. However, there are no small sofas here. I hope Wang Yijiajia won't come with Deng Yue this time.
Chen Nianyu, Xiu Yangui and Xi Mo arrived first, turned on the machine and sat down to wait for them.
Chen Nianyu saw an advertisement for a store again and pulled Xiu Yangui to go buy something. Xi Mo stayed behind to wait for others. Xiao Qi sent a message.
[Xiao Qi (red-haired version): Xi Xiaomo, I'm at Maile Internet Cafe. Where are you guys?]
【mol: We are at the innermost position, go in. 】
Three minutes later, Xiaoqi appeared in sight, and there was someone beside him. It was Yu Xiaozhi, who had not been seen for half a month.
Xiaoqi still had the same dazzling short red hair and black headphones hanging around her neck. Compared to her, Yu Xiaozhi looked much more haggard, with a weathered look, a bent back, and a dull and defeated look.
Xiao Qi glanced at Yu Xiaozhi next to her and said, "Xi Xiaomo, I just met her at the door. She came to see you."
Xi Mo looked at Yu Xiaozhi, and Yu Xiaozhi was also looking at her, his eyes full of emotions that Xi Mo could not understand.
There were only a few of them in the store, and Xi Mo followed Yu Xiaozhi and walked a little further away.
Xiaoqi was sitting there with headphones on, probably because she couldn't hear them talking.
Xi Mo and Yu Xiaozhi stood face to face, "Do you have something to talk to me about?"
Yu Xiaozhi nodded and swallowed nervously. Her voice, originally as sweet as a yellow oriole, became hoarse and unpleasant. "Where's Brother Yan Gui?"
"He and Chen Nianyu went shopping."
Yu Xiaozhi relaxed a little, no longer so paranoid, "Oh, uh, I have something to talk to you about."
"you say."
Yu Xiaozhi looked at Xi Mo's flawless white face, which was elegant and lovely. Her temperament was proud and unparalleled, and she was graceful and elegant. Standing next to her who looked so haggard, they seemed like worlds apart.
"I, I think..."
Xi Mo looked at her gently and calmly, her transparent and clear eyes as pure and beautiful as mountain spring water.
Yu Xiaozhi swallowed the bitterness in her throat and asked in a low voice, "Can you give Brother Yan Gui to me?"
"What?"
Even Xi Mo was a little surprised. After a moment, she calmly asked, "I don't understand what you mean."
Yu Xiaozhi spoke quickly, "Can you give Brother Yan Gui to me? I really need him."
"I have nothing left. My parents passed away a long time ago, and there is no one else in my family except my uncle. But now my uncle is also in jail. I am all alone in the world."
"I'm really scared. I can't sleep every night and can't eat during the day. I'm clumsy at work and can't do anything right. I was fired by my boss yesterday."
"I don't have any money. My uncle has spent all the money at home. I..."
I don’t know how many times Yu Xiaozhi has cried in these days, but as soon as she opens her eyes, tears start to flow.
She arched her back, raised her tear-stained face, and pleaded with Xi Mo: "Can you give Brother Yan Gui to me? He saved me twice, and I am very grateful to him, but I have nothing. I want to repay him. I want to follow him and stay by his side for the rest of my life."
"I don't want anything. I'll be satisfied as long as I can be with him. I can give him... I can give birth to his children. I can do anything."
"Please, I only have Brother Yan Gui. Please give Brother Yan Gui to me."
Seeing that Xi Mo didn't say anything and just looked at her with a frown, Yu Xiaozhi became even more anxious. She was now particularly sensitive to other people's gazes.
"I beg you, please give Brother Yan Gui to me. I can't live without him. You, you have everything. You are rich, good-looking, and have good grades. You have parents, you live in a villa, and you have many cars at home. You are a princess. You can live well without Brother Yan Gui."
"You have everything you need, but I don't. I really can't live without Brother Yan Gui!"
"Xi Mo, I beg you, please give Brother Yan Gui to me."
Xi Mo felt that Yu Xiaozhi was unreasonable, but at the same time, she felt sorry for her from the bottom of her heart. This was the first time she had encountered such a thing in her two lives.
After a while, he said calmly: "There is no need to give it up. Xiu Yangui is not my property. You should ask him, and then..."
"I asked! I asked! He told me to get out! Ugh, ugh, ugh, he told me to get out and not show up in his life anymore."
"Xi Mo, what should I do? Talk to Brother Yan Gui, he'll listen to you! Please give Brother Yan Gui to me, okay? I beg you!"
Although interrupted by the crazy Yu Xiaozhi, Xi Mo did not lose her temper. She just frowned and continued speaking.
"Hear me out."
"Then, I will not give Xiuyangui to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xiaozhi fell silent, staring at Xi Mo blankly, as if his soul had departed from him, his red and swollen eyes motionless like a machine.
Xi Mo turned away, not wanting to meet her gaze. "You should spend your time and energy on yourself, instead of relying on others to live."
He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and looked at Yu Xiaozhi again. "It's true that I have everything I need, but that's not a reason for you to use moral kidnapping on me, nor is it a reason for me to push Xiu Yangui away."
"I won't let Xiu Yangui leave me. He must stay by my side for the rest of his life."
"You..." Yu Xiaozhi was speechless. She was frightened by Xi Mo's cold eyes without a trace of warmth.
"You should learn to respect yourself and others. You are not someone's appendage. Without someone, you will die."
"Yu Xiaozhi, your thoughts are wrong. Your parents in heaven wouldn't want to see you living like this."
Xi Mo paused, said nothing more, and chose to leave.
Xiu Yangui and Chen Nianyu came back with things and found that Xi Mo was not sitting at her seat. Xiao Qi pointed to the big flowerpot in the corner.
Xi Mo just walked out from that side and approached Xiu Yangui, "Xiu Yangui, I have something to tell you."
"good."
Xiu Yangui looked at Xi Mo blankly. Xi Mo's expression was serious. Xiu Yangui thought about how he hadn't done anything wrong recently and felt a little uneasy. "What's wrong?"
"Yu Xiaozhi contacted you privately."
Xi Mo's affirmative sentence made Xiu Yangui suddenly realize that he had forgotten about this matter. The next second, he immediately apologized: "I'm sorry."
Xi Mo was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed, "Why apologize?"
"I forgot. I was going to tell you, but I had the monthly exams these past two weeks and I was so busy reviewing that I forgot. I'm sorry."
Xiu Yangui apologized carefully. Xi Mo certainly wouldn't be angry with him because of this. "No need to apologize. It doesn't matter if you forget."
Xiu Yangui breathed a sigh of relief, then his expression changed, "Could it be Yu Xiaozhi coming to see you?"
The two of them are childhood sweethearts, and they guess each other's affairs more accurately than anything else.
Xi Mo nodded. "She should have left by now. She doesn't dare to see you. You once told her to get lost."
"Fuck, tell her to get out, she should get out of here!"
Xiu Yangui was unkind and his words were cold and heartless. He was afraid that Xi Mo would be upset if she knew about it, but he didn't expect that this would make him feel particularly bad now.
"She was in a very bad state and her words were very strange."
Xiu Yangui nodded unhappily, still speaking without mercy, "That woman is just crazy, possessed by a demon."
"Don't worry about her, just treat her as dead."
"This isn't something we high school students should be involved in. She should be put in a mental hospital so she doesn't come out and harm others."
Seeing Xi Mo was about to speak, he quickly stopped her and said, "Don't mention her. I feel bad when I mention her."
Xi Mo stopped talking, shut her mouth obediently and nodded.
Xiu Yangui was afraid that Xi Mo would use her rich compassion on an ungrateful person, so she started gossiping, "Don't worry about her, just take care of me. I only ranked sixth in the monthly exam. Teach me how to catch up with you."
Xiu Yangui swore that he just spoke too quickly and had no other intentions.
He also swore that he only spoke fast with his mouth, not other parts of his body.
Xi Mo glanced at him and said, "Confess to me and you will be able to catch up with me."
"ah?"
Xi Mo left after saying this, without leaving a trace of cloud behind.
Chen Nianyu handed Xi Mo her milk tea and asked, "Why doesn't A Yan come over? What is he doing?"
Xi Mo sat down in her seat with a natural look on her face. "He's distracted."
"oh."
Chen Nianyu was just asking casually. He wasn't curious about the correct answer. He just wanted someone to reply to him.
"Ayan, your cup is on your table. Stop being distracted and play games. Brother Deng will be here soon."
When Deng Yue arrived, Xiu Yangui walked over with heavy steps, sat next to Xi Mo, and continued to stare at the computer screen in a distracted state, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
Xi Mo glanced at him sideways, then looked at the dark computer screen in front of him. She kindly turned on the computer for him and said, "Concentrate on playing games."
Two minutes later, everyone was ready and the first game began. Xiu Yangui controlled his character, wandering around the jungle, and asked Xi Mo seemingly nonchalantly, "Did you just say that casually?"
Xi Mo raised her head from the book and said, "I am serious and never speak casually."
"I understand." Xiu Yangui replied calmly and continued to concentrate on playing the game.
After trying a few games, everyone's tacit understanding has improved. Wang Yijiajia is not here today, so there will be no quarrels. The six of us get along well and go out to eat together after the game.
They went to a Zhejiang restaurant, which had round tables. A group of people sat in a circle. Yu Lan and Xiao Qi sat on either side of Chen Nianyu, and Xiu Yangui and Deng Yue sat on either side of Xi Mo. Yu Lan and Xiu Yangui sat next to each other, and Xiao Qi and Deng Yue sat next to each other. They all had topics to talk about.
In the middle of the meal, Deng Yue took out his phone and hoped to take a group photo. After all, the atmosphere was so good and everyone was good-looking. They would go to City B for a competition in half a month, and they might not see each other again after the competition, so he wanted to keep a memory.
It was reasonable for everyone to cooperate and take a photo together. Xiaoqi and Chen Nianyu also took out their mobile phones and took photos with some individuals after dinner.
