Chapter 37: Fit
After staying at Xu Mo's house until the third day of junior high school, Lin Jingchuan and Xu Mo started their return journey.
When leaving, Xu Zhao prepared Xu Mo's favorite pickled radish and lentils, and told her to put them in the refrigerator so she could eat them with rice.
Xu Mo hugged two plastic buckets, her eyes tearing up. Xu Zhao caressed her face and told her that they didn't need her to earn money. She didn't need to work hard for it. She needed to eat well no matter how busy she was, and that she could always buy a train ticket home if she missed home. Xu Mo nodded heavily.
Lin Jingchuan bought a plane ticket for the return trip. He leaned Xu Mo's sleepy head on his shoulder and read the newspaper on the plane.
Two and a half hours later, the plane arrived in Guangzhou.
Lin Jingchuan went to the parking lot to get the car. Before accompanying Xu Mo home, he had asked the driver to drive the car to the airport.
Xu Mo sat in Lin Jingchuan's car and slept all the way.
It wasn't until she got home and saw Dudu that she came to her senses. She spun around twice in her arms, hugging the kitten. She had been feeling down since she left home, but now she finally felt energized. Seeing that she was finally happy, Lin Jingchuan smiled back, put the things Xu Zhao had given her in the refrigerator, unpacked their suitcases, and put the laundry in the washing machine.
After washing the clothes, Lin Jingchuan started cooking again. He had already ordered the ingredients for making soup at noon while on the plane. When he got home, they had been delivered. He went to the kitchen and started washing the ingredients.
Xu Mo played with the cat for a while when Xu Shiying called.
She answered the video call, and Xu Shiying's delicate little face with full makeup appeared on the screen.
Xu Mo said: "Oh, who is this beautiful lady?"
Xu Shiying: "Miss Xu is here to wish Miss Xu a happy new year!"
Xu Mo smiled and said to the screen: "Happy New Year! May you always smile in the new year and may all your wishes come true!"
Xu Shiying held her face in her hands and asked, "Where are you now? Are you still at home?"
Xu Mo said: "I went back to Guangzhou."
"So early?"
Xu Mo's breath caught in her throat, and her eyes flickered: "I need to go meet Lin Jingchuan's family."
"Oh." Xu Shiying nodded. "You got married in such a hurry, but you should definitely meet both sets of families."
"What about you?" Xu Mo asked.
"I'm in Guangzhou." Xu Shiying glanced at the man sitting in the room playing games, "I'm with my boyfriend."
"You haven't told me about your boyfriend's background yet."
Xu Shiying lowered her eyes: "I'm back with Yuan Zhao."
Xu Mo:!
Yuan Zhao? Isn't this the ex-boyfriend Xu Shiying always mentioned to her, the one she loved and hated?
Xu Shiying always has some contradictions when she mentions this man. According to her description, she is very happy with Yuan Zhao and Yuan Zhao is very considerate, but she always feels that she has a hint of obscure blame and resentment towards Yuan Zhao.
She said Yuan Zhao was six years older than her and had several ex-girlfriends.
Xu Mo had met Yuan Zhao before. He was indeed very handsome, the kind of handsome that was a bit bad. He wore a black earring and a big silver necklace around his neck.
He looks like a playboy type.
Xu Mo asked: "Why are you back together? Didn't you say you two weren't suitable for each other?"
Xu Shiying said: "One night he liked my Weibo post. I happened to be awake that day, so I called him and he answered the phone. That's how we got back together."
Xu Mo: “…”
"That sounds a bit impulsive..." Xu Mo frowned slightly, "But didn't you tell me before that you wanted to get married in the next two years? Do you want to marry him?"
Yuan Zhao was still playing games. He didn't even turn around when he heard her talking to her bestie on the phone. Last night, they had a big fight because he liked a post on his ex-girlfriend's Weibo, but until noon today, he still hadn't come to comfort her.
Even if we get back together again, he will still be the same.
Xu Shiying felt a little depressed, so she simply walked to the balcony with her phone, closed the door, and said, "I don't think I can marry him."
"?"
"I visited his family during the Lunar New Year this year. They weren't well off; they didn't even have a decent house. He didn't have a decent job, and he hadn't even finished college." Xu Shiying shook her head. "My parents have always disapproved of us being together."
Xu Mo said: "Your parents don't want you to suffer if you marry into that family."
Xu Shiying nodded, and as if to cheer herself up, she said "hmm" heavily.
Being with the wrong person will only repeatedly confirm that the two of you are not suitable for each other.
Xu Shiying asked, "How are you and Lin Jingchuan? Bringing Lin Jingchuan home means you'll have to live under the same roof with Zhao Tingyu."
Xu Mo glanced at the kitchen, where Lin Jingchuan was cooking. She then walked into the bedroom and said to Xu Shiying, "A lot has happened since I came home."
"For example?"
"I think Zhao Tingyu has been a little strange these past few days."
"Why is it strange?"
"Yesterday at noon, Lin Jingchuan went out to answer the phone, and Zhao Tingyu came into my room..." Xu Mo recalled the scene at that time. The look in Zhao Tingyu's eyes when he looked at her was sticky, moist, and deep, as if he was going to pounce on her and devour her in the next second. She was a little scared. "He suddenly came very close to me. I asked him what he wanted to do, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at me quietly, then touched my face, as if he wanted to kiss me."
"Kiss you?" Xu Shiying frowned. "Doesn't he know that you and Lin Jingchuan are married? How could he do such a thing? Did you tell Lin Jingchuan?"
"No, I was afraid he would think too much."
"So you were scared and came back early?"
"Yes."
"It's a bit strange indeed," Xu Shiying said. "Did something happen to him?"
"have no idea."
"Forget it. You probably won't have much interaction with him in the future." Xu Shiying said, "With Lin Jingchuan around, he won't do anything to you."
Xu Mo shook her head. "To be honest, I'm a little worried about his mental state. Ever since his parents passed away, he's become quite depressed. I've been with him all these years, but I haven't been able to change him. Now that I'm married to someone else, he might feel like no one cares about him anymore? Is that why he's acting so strangely?"
"Xu Mo, you are just too kind. How much harm has Zhao Tingyu caused you over the years? He is very pitiful, but his suffering is not caused by you. You have no obligation to save him. What does it matter to you whether he is sick or not? You should care more about your husband."
"I know. I don't mean to bother Zhao Tingyu." Xu Mo nodded, "I just think it's a bit strange."
"You better be."
"certainly."
Lin Jingchuan's voice came from outside the door, calling her to eat. Xu Mo said to Xu Shiying, "I'm going to eat first. Bye."
She hung up the phone.
Lin Jingchuan is a person who attaches great importance to the quality of life. During the meal, he played music and prepared red wine. He drew the curtains, and the room was dark with only a few ambient lights on.
After dinner, they went to take a shower. Xu Mo finished first and sat on the bed reading. Lin Jingchuan came out with only a towel tied around his waist. His forehead was against hers. The man's hand slipped under her skirt. The delicate and soft touch made his kiss on her lips gradually deepen. The panting sound gradually overflowed, and the two bodies were infinitely compatible.
