Chapter 21

Ak"s celebration party, which was interrupted because of w.a.n.g Shan"s suicide, was postponed to the weekend. The attendees were Situ Mo, Gu Weiyi, Big Fat, Eyegla.s.ses, Meng Lu and Hu Niu. Meng Lu and Hu Niu came because they had been coaxed by Mo, who was under the strong demand of Big Fat. Fortunately, their men was unknown, otherwise they would be peeled and boned. Fu Pei, who had been asked by Ak to attened, didn"t came because he had to take care of w.a.n.g Shan in the hospital. Mo breathed a long sigh of relief, she had been tired of him recently. Having been texting her all day long, apologizing and expressing his love. Yesterday, he was nauseous enough to ask Gu Weiyi to bring her a love letter. She took two glances and did not know where he had copied it. It wrote as: You are my stars, moon, sun, rotation and so on, making her disgusted! Human nature is amazing. When you liked him, you would like everything he said. When you don"t like him, whatever he said would be annoying. Love words would be sweet when they were spoken from the right people, and nausea when they were spoken from the wrong people. It"s ironic. The love words she"d waited for nearly six years sounded like a joke at this moment.

Ak was said to have found the legendary post where he can eat and wait for death, so he had deep pockets and a group of people rushed to one of the best restaurants in the area. Mo felt this place familiar when she entered the door. It took her a long time to recall that she was fed with brother Tie in this ghost place. Later, she was scolded by brother Tie for being unrighteous, leaving him alone and ran away with her little boyfriend. Mo took a look at the ‘little boyfriend" in front of her. He had been cold and indifferent since he gave her Fu Pei"s love letter yesterday. She tried several times to pull him into a squabble, but all failed. She was quite helpless.

‘Mo, we really don"t have to pay?" Meng Lu leaned over Mo"s ear and said, ‘It"s so expensive here that I would have to sell myself if I have to pay the bill."

Mo gave her a push, and her voice was a little loud: ‘Don"t talk in my ear, it itches to death." In freshman year, when everyone was playing in the dormitory, it was unknown who had blown a sigh in Mo"s ear and frightened her to shrink on the ground for a long time. From then on, these guys had been loved to talk in her ear.

Gu Weiyi heard the movement and glanced back at Mo, she shrank her neck.

During the meal, the seat was a bit weird. Meng Lu was sandwiched between two wolves, Big Fat and Eyegla.s.ses. Hu Niu was sandwiched between Big Fat and Ak. So Mo was sandwiched between Ak and Gu Weiyi. This kind of middle arrangement made felt like they were accompanying with wine.

Mo didn"t know what"s wrong with Ak. She"d been getting along well with him all the time. But since last time, he seemed to be disliking her. Especially this moment, she had told him that she"s allergic to alcohol. But he just poured a gla.s.s of wine to her, and says that no drink, no face, no pleasure for him.

Mo had to take the wine that Ak had handed over. When she was about to drink, Gu Weiyi suddenly reached over and grabbed the gla.s.s. He looked up and drank the wine, said sadly, ‘If she"s drunk, it"s me who would be unlucky!"

Ak"s looked unwilling. ‘Weiyi, everyone drinks, and she wants to drink it herself, what"s the matter with you?"

Mo thought, when did she say she wanted to drink? Didn"t you force me to drink?

Gu Weiyi slammed down the gla.s.s and said coldly, ‘I"m responsible for her wine."

Ak poured wine into the gla.s.s in front of Gu Weiyi. ‘It would be better to drink the portion of Fu Pei who could not partic.i.p.ate."

After this sentence, Mo finally understood why he was creating difficulties. He was standing up for his brother. What evil had she created? It made her look like a femme fatale. Mo moved the cup in front of Gu Weiyi and said, ‘I"ll drink it."

Gu Weiyi clapped her hand and said, ‘Don"t give me any trouble."

He clapped his hand so hard that Mo rubbed her hands under the dining table and couldn"t help staring at him, only to see him drinking, poker-faced, one gla.s.s after another.

After dinner, they decided to go to KTV to sing. Mo kept a wait-and-see att.i.tude toward this decision. Because Meng Lu and Hu Niu were karaoke masters, who would get crazy when seeing the microphone. Once the people in their dormitory went to sing together. Mo and w.a.n.g Shan did not even touch the microphone, which was quite cruel.

After they arrived at KTV, Mo found that there was still a mountain high. In addition to Gu Weiyi, the other three people grabbed the microphone with a lot of tricks. So it was seen that the five people gathered around the rmt-c, pushing and pointing endlessly.

Mo peeked at Gu Weiyi, who was at the other end of the sofa. He leaned on the back since he entered the door. His eyes were closed, and ears were a little red. Was he drunk?

Forget it, Mo sighed, took a tin of w.a.n.g Laoji from the table, opened the ring-pull, moved to his side and touched him. ‘Hey, are you ok?"

His closed eyelids moved, the long eyelashes slightly agitated, and eventually said with eyes closed, ‘I"m fine."

Mo turned a white eye. Seriously? She could smell the pungent smell of wine when he had only spoken two words. She touched his hand with w.a.n.g Laoji, ‘Hey, drink some w.a.n.g Laoji."

‘No." The tone was not very good.

She got a little angry. Why had this guy been showing bad face to her all day? Picking on her because of her good temper? She poured herself a mouthful of w.a.n.g Laoji and hummed, ‘Don"t drink as you don"t like!" Then she moved back to the other corner of the sofa, still feeling angry, she sat down on the single sofa to be far away from him.

Gu Weiyi opened his eyes slightly and saw her watching the TV screen, twisting her eyebrows and frowning her face.

Five minutes later, Gu Weiyi got up and moved a chair to the right of the sofa Mo was sitting in. He sat down and reached for the w.a.n.g Laoji in her hand. ‘I"m a little thirsty."

Mo turned his eyes from the screen to him. He drank w.a.n.g Laoji quietly in the dim light, so peaceful.

Five seconds later, Mo turned again to watch the MV on TV. Her face turned red. He drank the w.a.n.g Laoji which had been drunk by her.

Gu Weiyi looked at her face and felt dizzy. After a few drinks of w.a.n.g Laoji, he stuffed the jar back to her and half leaned on the back of her sofa, closed his eyes for rest.

Mo held her breath slightly. He was so close to her… She could even feel his breath mixed with alcohol spraying on her arm, brushing each of her hair, itching.

It was more than twelve o"clock, the karaoke superstars finally had a good time. Gu Weiyi had fallen asleep on the arm of the sofa. Mo patted his arm: ‘Gu Weiyi, get up. Gu Weiyi, we"re going back now."

Gu Weiyi raised his head confusedly: ‘Going back?"

Mo nodded, ‘Going back."

Ak was responsible to take Meng Lu and Hu Niu back to school. Before Meng Lu got on the taxi, she took out a letter from her bag and handed it to Mo, ‘When I met Fu Pei in the hospital this morning, he asked me to give it to you."

Mo was stunned by the letter. What"s the matter now? All the people are postmen?

‘Situ Mo, go home." Gu Weiyi pulled at the back of her dress with a frowning face.

Mo turned around and smiled, ‘Okay." Then put the letter in the trash can by the roadside.

Gu Weiyi stared at her. ‘That"s a garbage can."

Mo clapped her hands and laughed naughtily: ‘Of course I know it"s a trash can. I"m not a publishing house but he contributes every day!"

Gu Weiyi was in a good mood, he rubbed her head and said, ‘Are you not moved? So calm?"

Mo reached out four fingers and shook in front of him: ‘Four words, long illness into good doctors."

He laughed and pushed away her hand. ‘Clearly, it"s five words. Your mathematics is not good."

‘Ah?" Mo broke her fingers and counted them one by one, ‘Long, illness, into, good, doctors, yeah? Really five words."

When she counted, her eyes blinked. She was so cute that Gu Weiyi reached out and hold her hand. ‘Let"s walk back."

Mo wanted to withdraw her hand, but he held it too tightly. She said angrily, ‘What do you mean by this?"

Gu Weiyi narrowed his eyes and smiled, ‘I"m drunk and I can"t stand steadily."

Mo looked at him suspiciously. His ears were a little red and his eyes were really not focused. She knew deeply that it was irrational to reason with a drunkard, so she had to let him hold. There"s another thing which was unbearable: ‘Did you know how long it will take to get home from here? I"m going to take a taxi.

Gu Weiyi refused, ‘I will vomit by car, and last time you were drunk here, I carried you back on my back."

She shook their hands and said, ‘You remembered very well. Are you sure you"re really drunk?"

He nodded heavily: ‘Sure."

Mo felt helpless, what an honest alcoholic: ‘Let"s go."

They stopped and went all the way, watching the street lights along the way lengthen and shorten their shadow. There were some strange conversations along the way from time to time:

Mo, ‘Gu Weiyi, loosen your hand, it hurts me a little."

Gu Weiyi, ‘Your hand is too small, I can"t hold it."

Mo, ‘Then don"t hold it."

Gu Weiyi, ‘I said I"m going to faint. You thought I want to hold it?"

Mo, ‘I don"t know if you are really drunk or fake drunk."

Gu Weiyi, ‘It"s really drunk."

...

Gu Weiyi: ‘Situ Mo."

Mo, ‘Why?"

Gu Weiyi, ‘Call tp see if you will respond. Don"t you hate people calling you Situ Mo?"

Mo, ‘How did you know that I hate being called Situ Mo?"

Gu Weiyi, ‘Fu Pei said."

Mo ‘Then why did you call that every time!"

Gu Weiyi, ‘I"m happy to do that."

Mo shouted loudly, ‘Gu Weiyi!"

Gu Weiyi, ‘Keep your voice down. I have a headache."

Mo shouted more loudly, ‘Gu Weiyi! Gu Weiyi! Gu Weiyi! ‘ After several calls, Mo suddenly found that if the middle word in his name was removed, it would be ‘Gu Yi", which meant ‘Deliberately" in Chinese. She was proudly trying to ridicule him. He said, ‘You"re deliberate and you wanted to kill me with a headache."

Mo"s heart missed a beat for the ambiguous sentence ‘You"re deliberate". She blushed and felt stunned, did not know how to answer his words.

Gu Weiyi pinched her little hand in his palm and said, ‘Hey, why didn"t you talk?"

Mo, ‘You said I was noisy."

Gu Weiyi, ‘You just know it."

Mo, ‘Then don"t talk to me."

Gu Weiyi, ‘Why should I listen to you?"

Mo cut his palm with her nails and said, ‘I"ve never seen a drunken person as wordy as you."

Gu Weiyi, ‘I"ve never seen a person who would be so unkind to a drunken person."

Mo, ‘Are you really drunk or fake drunk? The logic is so clear.

Gu Weiyi, ‘I"m really drunk."
