Mohism.
As the old man of the Mo family drank the porridge in his bowl with big gulps, he said, "This tastes good. This is the best porridge I've ever had except for the one in City G."
Dressed in a brown summer Tang suit, the old man exudes a subtle sense of majesty. Beside him is his wife, dressed in a gray cheongsam, the gentle hostess of the Mo family, Mrs. Mo.
The Mo family's patriarch, Mo Weijun, was a hero of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. After the war, he held a high-ranking position in the military, but for unknown reasons, he resigned and went into business. While his business ventures were initially challenging, they gradually improved, leading to his love for the eldest daughter of the wealthy Wei family. He eventually built a small company of only a few employees into a Fortune 500 conglomerate.
Putting down the spoon in his hand, Mr. Mo wiped his mouth and said, "This tastes so familiar, but it seems a little different. Who made this?"
Uncle Zhou bowed his head slightly and said, "He's the young master's friend."
"Friends?" Old Master Mo glared at him. "That brat actually made friends? Is he pretty? What's his character like?"
"She's very pretty, has a good temperament, a kind heart, and excellent academic performance." In Zhou Bo's mind, Luo Yu, Mo Han's choice, was the best. When it rained earlier, his rheumatic legs started to ache, but he didn't say anything. That evening, Luo Yu went home and brought him a bottle of medicinal wine, which he used, and it actually worked. Although the child didn't say much, she was incredibly thoughtful.
"Good academic performance? That child is still a student?" Old Master Mo was puzzled. When did his son start to like young girls?
"He is a college student. He was admitted to Kyoto University through his own efforts. He is a good boy." When talking about Luo Yu, the smile in Zhou Bo's eyes deepened.
"It's rare to see you praise someone like that, Old Zhou. He managed to get into Peking University on his own, so he's a hard-working kid." Old Mrs. Mo sighed. "That kid is finally making friends, and I'm relieved. Old Zhou, why is he so persistent after all these years?"
"Ma'am, you know the young master's temper, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to develop the company to its current size. Besides, if it weren't for that child, the young master might have..." Uncle Zhou couldn't finish the rest of the words.
Mrs. Mo snorted coldly, glaring at Mr. Mo and saying, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't said that you wanted your son to experience things on his own, he wouldn't have been kidnapped. Luckily, he was smart and escaped. But that kid is really something. I just gave him a piece of bread, didn't I? He actually gave away the jade pendant that was passed down to his wife. After all these years, he still can't forget me. Luckily, he has a girlfriend now. Otherwise, if I kept worrying like this, half my hair would be gray again."
Old Master Mo ignored Old Lady Mo's accusing look and laughed heartily, "That brat has the demeanor of me back then. He saved me, so of course I have to repay him. Isn't a little jade pendant worth that brat's life?"
"You are the only one who can say that. Why don't you think about the fact that your son hasn't had a girlfriend for all these years just to find that little boy?" When talking about this, Mrs. Mo was also melancholy. Her son was so outstanding, but he didn't even have a girlfriend. He was just waiting for a little boy named Xiao Luo. She really couldn't accept it at the beginning.
"You've been searching for her for twelve years and haven't found her, so you've given up hope now, right? That brat has a girlfriend now, what are you worried about?" Old Master Mo shrugged, turning to Uncle Zhou and saying, "No wonder he didn't come back to live in Kyoto. It turns out he has a girlfriend out there. Next month is my seventieth birthday, so I'll have him bring her back so I can have a look."
"Yes." Uncle Zhou replied. Although Mr. Mo and Mrs. Mo had some misunderstandings, it didn't matter. Uncle Zhou believed that as long as the young master liked it, it was not a problem, so he didn't point it out immediately.
…
"Jade pendant?" Luo Yu blinked and asked Mo Han, "Are you talking about the cracked jade pendant you asked me about before?"
"That's right, do you still remember where you got that jade pendant?" A rare hint of anticipation appeared on Mo Han's expressionless face.
Luo Yu thought hard, a blank look in his eyes. "I don't remember. I had a high fever when I was a child, and I forgot a lot of things after I woke up. I also forgot who gave me the jade pendant. But I'm used to carrying it with me everywhere. Now I keep it in the villa. Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"It's nothing, come, eat." Mo Han placed the cooled soup in front of Luo Yu. However, when he looked at the small birthmark on the back of Luo Yu's right index finger, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. The birthmark was very small and the color was very light. If Luo Yu's hands were not relatively white, it would really be difficult to see.
After lunch, Mo Han sent Luo Yu back to the villa, and Zhou Bo also happened to come back from Mo's house.
"Master, the master is going to celebrate his 70th birthday next month, and I want you to take Master Luo with you."
"Uncle Zhou, you are more anxious than I am." Mo Han said meaningfully.
"Young Master, since you've already made up your mind, it's better to do it soon to avoid complications. Master and Madam also hope that Young Master will settle down quickly." Zhou Bo, who had watched Mo Han grow up, was actually very worried about Mo Han's search for a partner. Now there was hope. Although the target was a man, after observation, although Luo Yu's family background was very different from the Mo family, putting family background aside, the excellent Luo Yu was still worthy of Mo Han. Moreover, the Mo family was not a family that placed much emphasis on the family background of their "daughter-in-law".
"I understand." In fact, Mo Han himself had this plan. Since the old man and the others knew about it, there was no need to hide it anymore. It would be better to decide it sooner rather than later.
At noon, although Mo Han was a little confused, when Luo Yu returned to the villa, he still found the cracked jade pendant from his suitcase.
The jade pendant was strung on a red string. It was only the size of Luo Yu's little finger and shaped like a water drop. Originally, there was a Chinese character engraved on it, but after years of wear and tear and the obvious crack in the middle, it is now no longer visible.
That time when Luo Yu injured his wrist and Mo Han let him stay at the villa, Mo Han saw the jade pendant he had placed on the table. At that time, Mo Han's expression was a little strange. But Luo Yu didn't pay much attention to it. Today, he suddenly brought it up again. Could it be that Mo Han knew the origin of this jade pendant? Unfortunately, even if Luo Yu's memory was good now, he could no longer recall the memories he had lost in his childhood.
However, when he was young, Luo Yu always carried this jade pendant with him. Even now, although Luo Yu no longer wears it on his body, he will carry it with him wherever he goes. It has become a habit.
Before going to bed that night, Mo Han kept holding Luo Yu's right hand, rubbing the birthmark on Luo Yu's finger. Although Mo Han said nothing, Luo Yu knew that he was worried. However, since Mo Han didn't tell him, Luo Yu didn't ask him.
That night, Luo Yu had a dream. In it, he returned to his childhood. A faceless young boy took a jade pendant from his neck and placed it around his neck. He seemed to say something to him, but strangely, when Luo Yu woke up, he couldn't remember it no matter how hard he tried. But Luo Yu was certain it wasn't a dream, but rather a memory of the jade pendant he had lost as a child.
He clearly couldn't remember anything before, but it must have been Mo Han who suddenly mentioned it yesterday at noon, which evoked those memories deep in his memory.
After breakfast, Sun Minghao and the other two came to pick up Luo Yu on time, but the original motorcycle was gone, so Sun Minghao and the other two actually came on bicycles.
Luo Yu took a look at Sun Minghao's obviously modified bicycle and asked curiously, "Have you changed your interests again?" You don't like motorcycles anymore, so you want to modify it into a bicycle?
"Luo Yu, don't ask anymore. It brings tears to my eyes just talking about it." Sun Minghao loved the motorcycle very much, but he only drove it a few times. After returning from military training, he found that his motorcycle was missing. He then realized that it was confiscated by his uncle. Even Zhou Jiazhi's motorcycle was taken away. After that, a modified bicycle was sent to him, saying that motorcycles were too dangerous and bicycles were safe and environmentally friendly.
Sun Minghao almost cried. Why didn't his uncle say this when he was riding alone before? It was only when he drove to pick up Luo Yu that his uncle started to pay such attention to his safety. In fact, the person who was paying attention was Luo Yu, right?
It takes about half an hour to ride a bicycle from the villa to the school. Although it doesn't take much energy to get to school, I still sweat a lot because of the hot weather.
After parking the car, they prepared to go buy a bottle of water first, but they met Lu Jie again in the convenience store.
"What a coincidence, we meet again, fellow juniors." Lu Jie greeted the three of them with a smile.
"It's quite a coincidence. I seem to run into my senior almost every time I come here!" Sun Minghao looked at Lu Jie with suspicion. Not only did they meet him when buying water every day, but they even met him when eating outside the school. How could it be such a coincidence?
"Haha, maybe it's fate." Sun Minghao scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, glancing at Luo Yu out of the corner of his eye.
"Sorry, senior, we have class in the first period, so we'll leave first." After Sun Minghao stuffed the water in his hand to Luo Yu, he winked at Zhou Jiazhi and Zhou Jiahao.
Zhou Jiazhi blocked Lu Jie's sight and said to Luo Yu, "Let's go, Luo Yu, we're going to be late."
"Yeah." Luo Yu nodded and left with Sun Minghao and the other two.
Looking at the four figures, Lu Jie hadn't reacted yet. He was just about to say hello to Luo Yu.
When they reached the teaching building, the four of them separated, but Sun Minghao and the others were no longer as anxious as before.
"The man just now seemed to have intentions towards Luo Yu." Zhou Jiazhi spoke first.
"It seems so." Zhou Jiahao nodded.
"What do you mean 'seems to be'? It's obviously the case. I saw through his little tricks at a glance. He has been pretending to meet by chance every day. He has used this trick so many times. Only Luo Yu can't see through such a low-level trick." Sun Minghao crossed his arms and said disdainfully.
"Should we tell your uncle?" Zhou Jiahao asked Sun Minghao.
"Do you think, with my uncle's personality, we need to explain these things?" He must have already investigated everything thoroughly. Sun Minghao knew Mo Han well enough to know that he wouldn't bother to take action against someone who posed no threat. However, if he felt threatened, he would immediately make that threat disappear.
"Let's not talk about Luo Yu for now. Minghao, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble soon." Zhou Jiazhi smiled meaningfully.
Sun Minghao raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Jiahao laughed and said, "Brother Hao, you really don't know? The girl from the Xie family is back. She will be back next month. I heard that she will come back to attend Grandpa Mo's 70th birthday. Brother Hao, congratulations." After two weeks of military training, Zhou Jiahao lost a lot of weight again. His facial features became more three-dimensional, and the baby-faced Zhou Jiahao looked more childish than his peers.
The girl from the Xie family? Sun Minghao's face changed as his memories were brought back. Why did she come back?
