"The day after tomorrow?" Wang Yao hesitated for a moment. Wei Cai said she was going to Zhidu tomorrow, the day after tomorrow? He probably wouldn't be able to attend this meeting, but... after all, Lü Xian had clearly refused to go with her, so maybe Wei Cai would prepare for another day...
"Well... I'd better register first..." Wang Yao said to Xiao Jiang. Then Wang Yao filled out a sign-in sheet that Xiao Jiang handed him haphazardly, and took a copy of the attendees' contact numbers back to his room.
He saw that the first name on the contact list was Situ Bei, whose title was prominently displayed as a sociologist and visiting professor at Changsheng University.
A week later, outside the "Tom's Chicken" chain fast food restaurant in Ziqiang County, Wang Yao stood quietly. His "sensory perception" had been activated, and he was listening to the conversation between a man and a woman inside "Tom's Chicken." The man and woman were, without a doubt, Wei Cai and Mo Luopo.
As it turned out, the Lion's Roar Beast was indeed efficient. Unaffected by Lü Xian's refusal to accompany her on the trip, she still embarked on her journey early the next morning, thus ruining the symposium that Wang Yao wanted to attend.
Everything went smoothly as expected. Wei Cai first toured Zhidu, and then went straight to Ziqiang County, where she met Mo Luopo in Sanyantang.
It was raining that day, and Wei Cai forgot to bring an umbrella. Mo Luopo led her to his old house to take shelter from the rain. The two of them did something, and then Mo Luopo took the initiative to take on the role of tour guide.
"Let me tell you, I actually have a boyfriend in Huadu, but he couldn't come out with me this time because he's busy with work." Wei Cai's voice was somewhat hesitant.
"I know, how could such an outstanding woman like you be single?"
Molupo seemed rather awkward. This meal was paid for by Wei Cai; otherwise, Old Mo would never have thought of coming to this fast food restaurant in his life. In his mind, this kind of place was only for fooling children, and adults would only fall for it if they were out of their minds.
“But… I feel like I don’t like him anymore…” Wei Cai said.
"Why? Just because he's busy with work and can't come out with you?" Molop asked.
"No, I think... I think he... he might have a wife..."
"This...how is this possible?"
"You wouldn't believe it, his whereabouts have always been shrouded in mystery. He says he's a leader of some bureau, but I've checked, and there's no such bureau in the human world. Besides, he can be gone for days at a time, sometimes even more than a month. When I ask him where he's gone, he always gives me vague answers."
“Then…then you’d better be careful, there are quite a few bad people in society these days.” Molopo’s voice became noticeably more lively.
“I…I don’t think Ah Bin is a bad person…but…but what women want at my age is a sense of security, mutual understanding, a decent home, and children…” Wei Cai said slowly.
“You’re right. All this dating is ultimately about getting married and starting a family. You can’t just date forever, can you? A stable life is the right way to go,” Moropo nodded in agreement.
"You... I think you're a very intelligent person, so how come... how come you're still single?" Wei Cai suddenly asked.
“I… sigh, I had no choice…” Mo Luopo sighed and recounted his past to Wei Cai, who listened with amazement.
"So, you...you've never even been in a relationship?" Wei Cai astutely grasped the key point in Mo Luopo's experience.
"Sigh, who...who can say otherwise? There's nothing I can do. When I was young, women didn't even notice me. Now that I'm older, they might be interested, but I feel it's not right for me." Maupassant sighed.
"Why is it inappropriate?" Wei Cai asked.
"I'm stuck in a rut, what else can I do? Someone as young and beautiful as you, no one would want me. As for those with children who want to come and retire here, I'm not willing to settle for that," Molopo replied somewhat vaguely.
"I...where am I young and beautiful? I'm an old woman now." Wei Cai said modestly after hearing Mo Luopo's praise, but she was clearly happy.
"If you're still an old woman, then there are no young girls left in our Ziqiang County, are there?" Mo Luopo's praise was utterly sincere.
"You... I thought you were a very honest and upright person, but it turns out you can be quite glib." Wei Cai seemed a little shy.
“I’m speaking from the bottom of my heart, not just being glib. If a girl like you liked me, I would have been married eight lifetimes ago. Why would I have waited until now?” Now that Moropo had opened his heart, he didn’t care about anything else and confessed his feelings directly.
However, after he finished speaking, Wei Cai didn't say a word and didn't respond to Mo Luopo's words.
“I…I know that someone like me is someone you…you would definitely not look up to. I…I was just giving an example…” Moropo was obviously a little embarrassed and hurriedly tried to save face for himself.
"Why would I be so sure I wouldn't like you?" Wei Cai suddenly asked.
“I… I’m not well-off, I’m from the countryside…” Molopo stammered.
“Whose ancestors weren’t from the countryside a few generations back? I was originally from a suburban county of Huadu, just like you, a country person. So what if we’re from the countryside? Aren’t we just like city people? Besides, I think country people are much more honest and reliable than city people.”
“Besides, what kind of good conditions do couples need to live together? I see that your house has all the necessary furniture, and it’s no worse than the city. Moreover, I also get a salary. We’re not saying we’re better off than others, but at least we’re not worse off than others, right?” Wei Cai said.
