☆, Chapter 74
Every time a math competition was about to begin, he would actively sign up to participate. On the one hand, it was for his own sake, and on the other hand, students participating in various competitions would gather in an independent study room to study, and Xi Mo would of course also sign up for the competition, so he could study with Xi Mo in the same large classroom.
Even though he didn't sit very close to Xi Mo every time, and always restrained himself to keep a distance that was neither far nor near, Pu Nuo was very content. As long as he could see her when he looked up, he would feel relaxed from the bottom of his heart and be full of energy.
There is certainly nothing wrong with this kind of liking. Xi Mo and him can still communicate in a friendly manner. Although not frequently, they are still harmonious and comfortable. Even so, Pu Nuo still envies Xiu Yangui.
Who says that kind of high-profile, uninhibited and sensational style of behavior is wrong?
Pu Nuo watched Xi Mo and Xiu Yangui's relationship becoming increasingly intimate, and slowly felt that there seemed to be a thin film between them that no one else could penetrate. The kind of inseparable and lingering feelings, the kind of wonderful and ambiguous atmosphere, made him feel heartbroken at a glance.
He felt lost and sad, but also unwilling to accept it. He was not inferior to Xiu Yangui in any aspect. Moreover, when Xi Mo and Xiu Yangui were in the first year of high school, before their relationship became so close, his classmates were still secretly supporting him and Xi Mo as a couple. But now, the whole class, even students from other classes, felt that Xi Mo and Xiu Yangui were a perfect match.
The most important thing is Xi Mo's attitude. He clearly noticed that the girl he liked seemed to have someone she liked now, and the lucky person she liked was Xiu Yangui in front of him.
In fact, the reason why Pu Nuo was able to remain calm was because he knew that Xi Mo was not someone who would easily develop love feelings for others. Although she seemed gentle and peaceful, she actually had invisible barriers towards everyone.
So he was not in a hurry. He was sure that he had plenty of time to get along with Xi Mo, get to know each other, and then fall in love naturally.
He waited. He chose to approach Xi Mo slowly in the most gentle and calm way, slowly knocking open her heart step by step, and communicating with her mind without her realizing it.
But now this path is wrong. Xi Mo's heart has long been occupied by another person. Unbeknownst to him, things have lost all control, deviated from the established trajectory, and are developing in an unusual direction.
To him, Xi Mo was like a mysterious and difficult math problem, difficult to solve, but solvable. When he calmly wrote down the steps one by one according to his thoughts, which should have been correct, he finally got the answer.
But there is no solution.
Even so, he will not give up. He will continue to fight and confess again.
Xi Mo didn't know that she was about to receive two sincere confessions from different boys in a short period of time. At this time, she was answering calls from Xi Yicheng and Ruan Wenwen.
Originally, they were just sharing their lives normally as a family, but after Xi Yicheng took over the phone, he began to ask about her and Xiu Yangui's development in both open and covert ways, and he spoke haltingly. Ruan Wenwen watched and laughed secretly.
Xi Yicheng was extremely sad because just a few days ago, Xi Mo told them that she and Xiu Yangui were dating. This hard-to-accept news made him exhausted and unable to sleep for half the night. That day, he insisted on buying a plane ticket to go home, but was stopped by Ruan Wenwen. Several days have passed, and Xi Yicheng is still heartbroken and cannot accept it now.
"Um... Momo, you guys, uh, are you and that kid okay? I don't mean anything else, I just want to know if you're eating well and studying well..."
Xi Yicheng hesitated and really didn't know how to ask. He had other ideas. In fact, the question he really wanted to ask was "Have you broken up with that brat?"
But as a refined gentleman, he certainly couldn't ask such a rude question, so he could only dither and talk about other things, which made his mistake even more obvious.
Xi Mo didn't know what Xi Yicheng was thinking, "Dad, we are fine."
"Ah..." Xi Yicheng thought about what else to ask, "Then, then, you..."
Ruan Wenwen started a new topic nearby: "So, you guys are going on an outing tomorrow and taking the bus. Is Momo going to sit with her boyfriend?"
The words were light and lively, forming a sharp contrast with the heavy and serious Xi Yicheng. Ruan Wenwen and Xi Mo were talking happily and harmoniously, but Xi Yicheng was about to make a fuss.
When he heard this, he shouted, "What little boyfriend! What kind of boyfriend is that!"
"You can't sit together! Sit separately!"
"We're still in class. We can't lose our composure. We have to behave ourselves."
"You are still students, so it is best to keep your distance at all times."
"And it's better to have separate sightseeing. That's in line with the city's appearance and what it means to be a good young man who aligns with the core socialist values."
Xi Yicheng started talking nonsense, and it was obvious that he was just trying to righteously ask Xi Mo not to have any contact with Xiu Yangui, preferably not at all, and it would be best if they were strangers.
Ruan Wenwen couldn't bear to listen any longer and snatched the phone away, "Momo, don't listen to your dad, he's not right."
Then he scolded Xi Yicheng: "As a father, don't you know your daughter's personality? They must know their limits. How could they lose their manners?"
"As an elder, you should act like an elder. Momo is already dating Yan Gui, so we have to be responsible for their child. When you're in a relationship, you should act like a couple, being affectionate and sweet. That's the way it should be."
"What do you mean by separate sightseeing? Is that reasonable?"
"Besides, wouldn't it be safer for Momo to be with her boyfriend? Who knows if the path to that scenic spot is easy to walk on? If it's not, wouldn't Yan Gui be able to take better care of Momo?"
Xi Yicheng couldn't refute it, and he felt that Ruan Wenwen was right. Xiu Yangui was still a good person.
Xi Mo is not keen on taking photos. Sometimes when Xi Yicheng and Ruan Wenwen miss Xi Mo, they can only call her or make video calls. When Xiu Yangui knows this, he will take photos of Xi Mo from time to time, taking some videos and photos of her studying or playing, and then send them to Ruan Wenwen's mobile phone.
I have to say that his daughter is extremely beautiful. There is nothing wrong with Xiu Yangui in this regard. He photographed his daughter beautifully. There is a saying that goes: The camera has no emotions, it just reflects the heart of the person taking the photo for you.
On the one hand, his daughter is naturally beautiful, and on the other hand, it also shows the depth of Xiu Yangui's feelings for Xi Mo.
But Xi Yicheng still felt aggrieved.
Because he secretly used Ruan Wenwen's mobile phone to watch the videos and photos. In fact, Ruan Wenwen took the initiative to show them to Xi Yicheng and wanted to send a copy to Xi Yicheng, but Xi Yicheng pretended to be aloof and was unwilling to see the beautiful photos of his daughter taken by that boy. He hid to watch them afterwards, and while being proud of his daughter, he secretly cursed Xiu Yangui.
After Ruan Wenwen finished talking about Xi Yicheng, she continued to say to Xi Mo: "Your father and I have different opinions on this point. My daughter is the best. She will definitely be able to balance everything."
"When you have summer vacation, your dad and I will treat you to a meal."
Xi Mo smiled, "Okay, Mom, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Xi Mo thought for a while. To be honest, she and Xiu Yangui didn't seem to become much closer. They still maintained the same way of getting along as before, and they had no contact in the past few days.
The senior high school students are in the tense and exciting countdown to the college entrance examination. In order to relieve the students' pressure, the school organized several activities for them to relax. Of course, the handsome and capable Xiu Yangui is indispensable at such times. He was invited to be the host at the senior high school party and has been in the rehearsal room during this time.
Ruan Wenwen is right. Since you are together, you have to be responsible for him and be sweeter.
Because today is the long-awaited outing day, people in the class group were sending messages early in the morning, and they were eager and excited about the journey that was about to begin today.
【xdm, are you up yet? 】
[Family members, are you up yet? Are you up yet?]
【I'm up, how about you? 】
I've already left. We'll be at the school gate in fifteen minutes. I want to be the first on the bus and take any seat I want. This is my world, the kingdom I built with my own hands.
[What are you doing so crazy so early in the morning? Just eat some Lychee Plums.]
Xi Mo looked at the messages in the class group and then switched to a private chat with Xiu Yangui. After saying good night to each other last night, there had been no communication between them. They had very little communication during this period. She was busy and Xiu Yangui was also busy.
He should be up at this time, so Xi Mo thought about how to make a noise.
【mol: Good morning.】
I waited for a while but got no response. Maybe he was packing up.
Xi Mo had already gone out, got in the car, and went to wait for Xiu Yan outside the community where he was returning home. Then the two of them went to the school gate together to meet up with their classmates.
Xi Mo sat upright in the car, looking out the window. The sun was occasionally blocked by clouds, adding a touch of coolness to the early summer.
There is still no message on the phone. What is Xiu Yangui doing now?
Just as I was thinking about it, my eyes focused and I saw a familiar figure appear in the distance of the road. Xiu Yangui was walking towards the community, looking like he was going home.
Where did Xiu Yangui come from so early in the morning? Why did he come back from outside? Where is he going now?
Not only that, there was a girl next to Xiu Yangui whom Xi Mo had never seen before, but Xi Mo had seen the coat she was wearing before, and it was Xiu Yangui's clothes.
Although it is early summer, the scenic spot they are going to visit today is in the suburbs, which is covered with mountains and forests and has waterfalls. Last night, Lao Lin considerately asked the students in the class group to bring a thin jacket to avoid catching a cold.
The girl was wearing Xiu Yangui's coat. The coat was very long, reaching her thighs, making her look particularly petite. Perhaps she was a little shy, and her face was flushed pink.
Xiu Yangui, wearing a black T-shirt and gray sweatpants, was still the same, with a faint smile on his face, chatting with the girl next to him.
The two of them walked together and talked happily, which made Xi Mo's eyes sting a little. She blinked and continued to watch them walking towards the community.
Who is that? Why are they together so early in the morning?
As they walked, Xi Mo watched all the way. The girl went into a convenience store next to the community, while Xiu Yangui was standing outside waiting, and then he took out his cell phone.
After a few seconds, a message came on Xi Mo's phone.
【xiuyG: Good morning.】
Xi Mo watched quietly. The heart beating heavily in her chest showed its presence all the time. The small space felt inexplicably depressing.
She was unhappy and angry.
After typing out the words again and again, she deleted them bit by bit. Xi Mo suddenly realized that she was not a brave person and she was afraid.
But she was not afraid that Xiu Yangui would fall in love with someone else, but she was afraid for herself.
Is this overwhelming anger and pain that is now condensing in my heart reasonable?
Xi Mo took a deep breath and started typing.
[mol: I'm in the black car across from the complex.]
When Xiu Yangui saw the message, his face looked a little unnatural, and there was no surprise in his eyes. He suddenly looked up and stared at Xi Mo getting out of the car and walking towards him.
"Xiu Yan Gui classmate, I'm fine now."
Before Xi Mo got close enough, the girl came out and looked at Xiu Yangui with a smile, and then she saw Xi Mo walking towards her.
Xi Mo felt a dull pain in her heart because Xiu Yangui was avoiding her gaze, but he was not looking at the girl either, he just didn't dare to look her in the eye.
"Well, I'll be leaving first."
The girl felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, so she left first. It turned out that she also lived in this community and was apparently Xiu Yangui's neighbor.
Xi Mo glanced at the girl's back. She was still wearing Xiu Yangui's jacket, and the jacket had gone with her.
Xiu Yangui was still evasive, "Uh, why are you here?"
"I'm coming to see you, can't I come?"
There was no smile or frown on Xi Mo's face, no expression at all. Seeing Xi Mo like this made Xiu Yangui a little scared.
He quickly explained: "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I'm going to get a power bank. Wait for me for a moment, right away."
Then, Xi Mo watched Xiu Yangui's back as he ran away. She knew he was in a hurry, but she still felt unhappy. Why did Xiu Yangui leave so quickly?
The emotions and thoughts that kept surging up in her mind now were all negative and pessimistic. Xi Mo didn't want this to happen, but she just couldn't adjust herself.
Only then did Xi Mo frown and began to analyze her inner self, find out the root cause and solve the problem.
Is this the sour feeling that comes with love?
It seems that she likes Xiu Yangui more than she thought, and her possessiveness towards Xiu Yangui has also increased.
Xi Mo was a little worried. She knew that there was nothing going on between Xiu Yangui and that girl because she had seen Xiu Yangui's heart being moved. Naturally, she also knew what he looked like when he had no love for someone.
She was just thinking about another thing, whether her extremely strong possessiveness towards Xiu Yangui was reasonable.
Xiu Yangui ran home, caught the elevator, and ran out again, in a hurry, worried that Xi Mo would wait too long. He had another coat hanging in his arms and a power bank in his hand. "I'm ready, let's go."
Xi Mo took a look, said nothing, and turned to walk towards the car.
