Chapter 7 We all need to become better for each other
Yan Mo carefully inserted the key of the front door into the keyhole and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the door was locked.
After staying at Yaoyao's house for several days, she was finally ordered to leave. Because she didn't know Gu Tianhai's schedule, she had to open the door like a thief and then tiptoe up the stairs.
"Fortunately, Gu Tianhai is not at home." Yan Mo opened the door easily and put down the huge stone in her heart. She closed the door, lay on the sofa in the hall and looked at the ceiling.
What on earth has she been avoiding these days? She is the owner of this house, but she has to enter the house like a thief.
"Ding Dong--" Not long after Yan Mo sat down, the doorbell rang. Yan Mo shuddered and jumped up quickly. She stood on tiptoe and ran to the door in two or three steps. Through the peephole, she saw two women standing outside. One was Ye Zixin, and the other was the "ex-girlfriend" she met at the mall last time.
Logically speaking, shouldn't these two be rivals in love? Why did they come together? Are they looking for Gu Tianhai or her? Yan Mo fell into deep thought, not knowing whether to open the door.
"Yan Mo, open the door, I know you are inside." Ye Zixin shouted and knocked on the door of a certain age.
Yan Mo leaned against the door and sighed. These two women who looked difficult to deal with were indeed here to find her.
After thinking for a while, she opened the door.
Just as Gu Tianhai said, keeping avoiding the problem will not solve the problem.
"Come in." After Yan Mo opened the door, Gu Zhenni and Ye Zixin walked in arm in arm like good sisters. Yan Mo politely poured each of them a glass of water, and then sat on the sofa.
"Yan Mo, I'm going to get straight to the point today. I hope you leave Gu Tianhai and stop bothering him." Gu Zhenni went straight to the point. Yan Mo was stunned, shocked by the powerful aura of this woman.
"You are the ones who shouldn't disturb him, right? As his ex-girlfriend, aren't you meddling too much?" Yan Mo mustered up the courage to stand up. She looked down at Gu Jenny who was sitting on the sofa, seeming to be more powerful than her.
"What kind of weird idea is this? Do you know who this person in front of you is?" Ye Zixin snorted disdainfully and continued, "She is Gu Tianhai's sister, Gu Zhenni, the eldest daughter and general manager of the Gu Group."
"Sister? Gu Group? General Manager?" Yan Mo's brain was paralyzed as she couldn't digest so much information at once.
It turned out that Gu Tianhai was not a poor intern, but a person she didn't know at all. No wonder Ye Zixin said those strange things to her last time, it turned out that there was a reason for all this.
"Tian Hai has no future with a woman like you who is as useless as mud. If you really care about him, you should let him leave you."
Gu Zhenni looked Yan Mo up and down. There was nothing about her that was worth her admiration. Not only was she plain-faced and had no temperament, but she was also dressed like a square dancer. Gu Zhenni really didn't know what Gu Tianhai liked about her. There were a lot of girls like her on the street.
"Look at you, your hair is as messy as straw, you wear outdated clothes, and you don't go out to work. People like you are the parasites of society!" Ye Zixin sighed, and joined Gu Zhenni in criticizing Yan Mo.
Yan Mo looked at their bright and beautiful clothes and did not refute anything. Compared with them, she was indeed very dull. She didn't know how to put on makeup or interact with society. She was indeed the least qualified to be liked by others.
What's the saying? If you want others to love you, you must first love yourself.
Yan Mo was silent for a moment, then turned and walked towards the kitchen. When she came out, she was holding a fruit knife in her hand. Gu Zhenni and Ye Zixin shuddered and hurriedly fled Yan Mo's house in high heels.
"Don't run..." Yan Mo chased them out with a knife, and Gu Zhenni and Ye Zixin became even more terrified when they saw her chasing them out. They screamed and rushed out of the door. When Yan Mo chased them to the street, they had already panicked and got into the car, stepped on the accelerator and fled.
"I just want to cut some apples for you guys to eat..." When Yan Mo said this, Gu Zhenni and Ye Zixin's car had disappeared at the end of the street.
A dark cloud floated in the gray sky and spread over the city. The gentle wind gradually became violent. The trees on both sides of the road danced in the sudden strong wind, and the garbage and fallen leaves on the road were also blown into the sky by the strong wind.
Yan Mo raised his head and looked up at the sky. He saw lightning flashing through the gray and black clouds. The lightning was particularly bright in the dark clouds. The light covering the city gradually dimmed.
Day turns to night in just a few minutes.
A drop of water fell on Yan Mo's forehead, a flash of lightning tore through the clouds, and then a loud noise was heard.
A sudden rainstorm fell along with the lightning. The cold touch spread from the fingertips and penetrated into every cell.
Yan Mo turned around and stood under the eaves, stretching out his fingers to feel the falling rain.
Is her existence a burden to Gu Tianhai? She can neither help him improve nor stand with him. She is good for nothing except drawing some unsaleable comics. If Gu Tianhai is not around, she can't even cook.
In the final analysis, she simply clings to Gu Tianhai. She is afraid to face this relationship, but she is even more afraid of losing it. Perhaps, what Ye Zixin said is right, she is just a parasite in society. Such a woman will only hinder Gu Tianhai's development.
"It's raining. I wonder if Tianhai went out with an umbrella?"
Yan Mo stood under the eaves, with the strong wind and heavy rain blowing on her cheeks. Thinking that Gu Tianhai might not have brought an umbrella, she hurried up to the second floor.
Just when she was holding an umbrella and preparing to go find Gu Tianhai, a familiar figure walked out from the heavy rain.
Yan Mo , who was standing at the door , paused, and Gu Tianhai, who happened to look up and saw her, also paused.
Gu Tianhai, wearing a hooded sweatshirt, stood in the rain, the hat on his head slowly slipped off, and the rain wet his eyes.
After a long time, Yan Mo remembered that Gu Tianhai was standing in the rain. She opened her umbrella in a panic, ran to Gu Tianhai, and held the umbrella for him.
"It's raining, why are you walking back? Why don't you find a place to shelter from the rain? What if you get sick?" Yan Mo said worriedly and raised her hand to wipe the water droplets on his face.
Gu Tianhai lowered his eyes slightly and inadvertently saw the diamond ring on Yan Mo's ring finger. He pushed Yan Mo's hand away, walked out of the umbrella's range, and walked ahead.
Yan Mo paused for a moment, hurriedly caught up with him, and held the umbrella high to cover his head.
"The ring you are wearing was given to you by Li Hao, right?" Gu Tianhai stopped and Yan Mo, who was following him with an umbrella, bumped into his back.
The navy blue umbrella slipped from their hands, and the cold rain fell on them like a farewell.
"Well...he gave it to me."
"When are you going to get married?"
"Tianhai, it's raining outside, let's go inside and talk." Yan Mo didn't know how to answer Gu Tianhai's question. She grabbed Gu Tianhai's wrist and led him to the stairs. But Gu Tianhai suddenly grabbed her and brought her back.
Yan Mo lost her balance and fell into his arms, looking up at him in astonishment.
The cold kiss fell in the rain. This time, Yan Mo did not push Gu Tianhai away. She raised her head, responded to the overbearing kiss, and let the cold rain pour down on her.
Gu Tianhai shuddered when he got the response. He subconsciously closed his eyes and responded to Yan Mo, then slowly loosened his arms.
"Why don't you push me away? Or do you like me too?" Gu Tianhai asked seriously. His intuition told him that Yan Mo liked him.
"Tian Hai has no future with a woman like you who is as useless as mud. If you really care about him, you should let him leave you."
Gu Zhenni's words penetrated into Yan Mo's mind, making her unusually clear-headed.
She really couldn't like Gu Tianhai, because Gu Tianhai would have a better future, but she might just live like this for the rest of her life. If Gu Tianhai chose her, it would mean losing the support of his family. A freshly graduated college student like him, without further studies and without enough family power, could not gain a foothold in society. If she liked him, it would make him worse, then -
"Are you kidding? How could I like an intern like you who has no money and no status?" Yan Mo snorted and stepped back. "Do you think I will like you just because you can cook and clean? You are overthinking. I like mature and stable men with a stable income."
"Then what do you think of me?" Gu Tianhai was calmer than ever, but behind this calmness was a huge wave.
"Of course it's just a toy for when you're bored. After all, a boy like you who has no experience in love is the easiest to be deceived."
"So that's how it is." Gu Tianhai lowered his head in disappointment, rain dripping from his chin, mixed with tears and not easily noticeable.
"I don't like incompetent brats, and I don't like people who can't even support themselves." Yan Mo clenched her fists tightly, tears already pouring down her cheeks. She tried to keep her voice constant, because in the heavy rain, no matter how many tears she shed, they would be washed away by the rain.
"I understand. Thank you for telling me this." Gu Tianhai smiled with relief, turned around, passed Yan Mo , and walked in the opposite direction.
He never thought that in Yan Mo's heart, he was just a small kid who was not strong enough. Childish and immature, only fit to be someone else's substitute and plaything.
From today on, he will work hard to become stronger, stand at the top of the tower, and never let anyone look down on him again!
Yan Mo cried all the way to Yaoyao's house. Yaoyao, who was watching TV, heard the knock on the door and came out to open it. After seeing Yaoyao, Yan Mo, who was soaked like a drowned chicken, burst into tears and threw herself into her arms. Yaoyao, who was standing at the door with a facial mask on, was a little surprised. She pushed Yan Mo away with disdain.
"I just took a shower, don't hug me."
"I don't care. I just want to find someone to hug and cry to. I want to sleep at your house tonight, woooo..." Yan Mo hugged Yaoyao relentlessly, passing the rain on his body to Yaoyao who was wearing pajamas.
"I really can't do anything about you. Come in quickly, take a shower and change your clothes. If you get sick again, I won't have the time to take care of you." Yaoyao, who was really helpless, pulled Yan Mo into the house.
I just sent her back home this morning, and now she's here again. I really don't know what she's been doing during this time.
After Yan Mo came in, she sat on the sofa and continued crying.
Yaoyao hurriedly pulled her up, threw her onto a plastic chair nearby, and warned her not to get my sofa wet.
"I got soaked and I have to take a shower again." Yaoyao complained and took the clean clothes into the bathroom. When she looked at Yan Mo, Yan Mo was still sobbing. She shook her head helplessly and took Yan Mo's hand and walked into the bathroom together.
The bathtub was filled with steam and the bathroom was filled with a faint floral scent. Yan Mo took off her clothes at Yaoyao's urging and soaked in the bathtub. Yaoyao pulled the translucent curtain and stood outside the curtain by the shower to take a shower.
Yan Mo soaked in the hot water, the comfortable temperature melted away her sorrow. She hugged her knees in the water and dipped her chin in it.
"Yaoyao, let's go to Thailand for a few days."
"Okay, it's rare that you take the initiative to go out and play." The sound of the shower stopped, and Yaoyao wrapped herself in a bath towel and walked out of the bathroom. She didn't ask why Yan Mo was crying, because she knew that Yan Mo would tell her when she wanted to.
"Come out after you're done washing. Your skin will get wrinkled if you soak for too long." Yaoyao reminded Yan Mo before leaving the bathroom.
The sound of a hair dryer was heard in the hall. Yan Mo pondered for a moment and walked out of the bathtub. She changed into the clean clothes prepared by Yaoyao, dried her hair and went to Yaoyao's room. When Yaoyao dried her hair and returned to the room, Yan Mo had already fallen asleep on her bed.
"What a pig-like best friend." Yaoyao held her forehead and sighed, turned around and went to the hall to call her boss, and asked for a week's leave on the grounds of a family emergency.
The next day.
Yan Mo and Yao Yao went on a spontaneous trip. They booked their flights and hotels, packed their luggage and left the city.
Before the plane took off, Yan Mo sent a text message to Gu Tianhai and Li Hao. She told Li Hao that she needed a few days to think about it. She told Gu Tianhai that she and Yaoyao were traveling abroad.
Li Hao replied with the three words "I'll wait for you", but Gu Tianhai did not reply.
Yan Mo boarded the plane with her cell phone. She kept waiting for Gu Tianhai's reply until the flight attendant reminded her to turn off her phone.
The taking off plane quickly penetrated into the clouds, and Yan Mo looked down at the sky through the window.
The buildings look as small as sesame seeds of different colors, pieced together bit by bit to form the original appearance of the earth.
The sky above the clouds was shining brightly, and Yan Mo had to draw down the curtains because it was so dazzling. She looked at Yaoyao who had already fallen asleep, and gently leaned her head back on the chair and closed her eyes to rest.
An hour later, the plane slowly landed at Don Muang International Airport. Yan Mo, who was completely asleep, rested her head on Yao Yao's shoulder. When Yao Yao woke up and found her shoulders were covered with saliva, she made a move to slap Yan Mo. Then, Yao Yao bumped Yan Mo with her shoulder to wake her up.
"Wake up, we're here!" Yaoyao stood up and started to get off the plane with her 20-inch suitcase that could be carried on board. Yan Mo hurriedly put on her luggage and followed Yaoyao's steps.
It was a hot summer day outside the airport, and most people were wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts. Yan Mo and Yao Yao, who were wearing down jackets, were sweating while queuing for the border crossing.
After passing the security check, Yan Mo and Yao Yao rushed to the bathroom and changed into summer clothes. They did not check the travel guide and took out their cell phones with no signal, and they were in a state of mental collapse. They could not speak Thai and spoke broken English all the way, and finally found the hotel they were staying in.
The hotel's front desk staff was a middle-aged man who spoke many languages. He was very enthusiastic and helped Yan Mo and Yao Yao check in. He also gave them a map of the Bangkok travel guide.
"You can go to the Grand Palace first. It is the royal palace of Thailand and has great artistic value. There is also the Reclining Buddha Temple, which is the oldest temple in Thailand..." The man politely recommended tourist attractions in Chinese with a Thai accent.
After listening to him, Yan Mo and Yaoyao took the travel guide drawings and left the hotel.
The two first went to the Royal Palace of Thailand, which is located in the center of Bangkok. It is bustling and crowded with people.
Yan Mo was filled with emotion as she looked at the scattered buildings. The carvings and paintings on these buildings were extremely exquisite, and the artistic atmosphere was very strong. However, there were no clear signboards in these buildings, so when she and Yaoyao walked into the Grand Palace, they did not know which of the four white walls led to the gate.
The two people who almost got lost inside came out with a Chinese travel agency. There are people from various countries traveling here. They speak different languages and wear exotic clothes.
Yan Mo looked at the golden Thai-style buildings from afar and thought, it would be nice if Gu Tianhai could come. When thinking of Gu Tianhai, Yan Mo's mood became a little depressed.
Yaoyao bought souvenirs in the souvenir area and took Yan Mo to take pictures next to the buildings with pointed roofs. Yan Mo tried hard to keep a bright smile, but she didn't feel happy at all.
In the next few days, they went to the oldest temple in Thailand, the Arun Temple, which is known as the "Eiffel Tower". They carried their bags and wandered in the place known as the "Foreigner Street in Bangkok".
There are numerous food stores on the street, and bars of various decoration styles are densely lined on both sides of the road. People from all over the world are partying on this bustling street.
Yan Mo, who is passionate about food, did not go out to eat and drink as usual. She followed Yaoyao quietly, as if she could see Gu Tianhai's figure everywhere she went.
The water of the Mekong River was not as blue as Yan Mo had imagined, but the surrounding scenery and buildings were very charming.
The setting sun in the distance fell on the ferry, and people stood on the yacht to watch the scenery. Yan Mo quietly looked at the pointed buildings in the distance, which were even more brilliant and dazzling under the setting sun.
I wonder what Gu Tianhai is doing now?
Yan Mo couldn't help but take out her phone with no signal and checked it. Although there was Wi-Fi in the hotel, she didn't have Gu Tianhai's WeChat. Li Hao contacted her several times, but she pretended to have no signal and didn't reply.
It's so ridiculous. Li Hao is obviously her nominal boyfriend, but she is always thinking about Gu Tianhai.
"Yan Mo, let's go back." Yaoyao, who had long noticed Yan Mo's absent-mindedness, sighed. Yan Mo paused, turned his head and looked at Yaoyao. Yaoyao continued, "Are you worried about something?"
"Yaoyao, Li Hao proposed to me. I have been waiting for this day, but when this day really came, I felt empty inside and didn't feel at ease at all. Tell me, why is that?" Yan Mo nodded and replied.
"You've fallen in love with Gu Tianhai, right?" As a bystander, Yaoyao saw that Gu Tianhai and Yan Mo liked each other when she first met them in the mall. Yan Mo, this idiot, probably hasn't noticed it yet, right?
"I don't know..." Yan Mo slowly turned his gaze back, tightly holding the silent phone.
Maybe she should go back...
The return flight took only two hours, and during these two hours, Yan Mo kept looking out the window.
Those two hours seemed like a century to her who hadn't fallen asleep yet. Yaoyao fell asleep as soon as she sat down and was awakened several times by the nervous Yan Mo. Finally, she gave up sleeping reluctantly.
The announcement of the plane landing sounded, and Yan Mo put on her travel bag and ran out. Yaoyao chased after her, but was eventually left behind.
"Yaoyao, I'm going home first. You can call a taxi for yourself." Yan Mo got into the taxi in a hurry, leaving Yaoyao who was dragging a suitcase not far away.
"Forget about friends for the sake of beauty!" Yaoyao complained a few words and stood on the roadside waiting for a taxi.
"Driver, please drive faster. I'm in a hurry." Yan Mo kept urging the driver to speed up.
The driver who had already overtaken several cars finally couldn't help but replied: "Miss, if you go any faster, the police will give me a ticket." Yan Mo calmed down. She clenched her hands tightly and sat in the back seat of the car nervously.
The scenery outside the window turned into lines of different colors, passing by quickly. She didn't know why she was so nervous, nor did she know what to say when she went back to see Gu Tianhai. All she could think about now was to get home quickly and see Gu Tianhai quickly.
"We're here." The driver parked the car outside the villa. After Yan Mo paid the money, he hurried to the second floor of the villa.
"Tianhai!" Yan Mo opened the door and called out Gu Tianhai's name. However, the house was empty and the silence was frightening.
Yan Mo turned and ran to Gu Tianhai's room. There was a key on Gu Tianhai's door. That was the key Yan Mo gave him when he checked in.
The moment the door was opened, Yan Mo trembled all over.
The originally clean and tidy room was left with only four blank walls and the original furniture. Everything related to Gu Tianhai had disappeared.
Yan Mo stood there for a long time, the letter that was placed lightly on the table fell to the ground with the air blowing in from the door. Yan Mo walked forward slowly, bent down, and picked up the letter on the ground.
Yan Mo:
When I wrote this letter, I had already decided to move away. But don't get me wrong, the reason I moved away was not because of you. I wanted to call you to tell you, but I couldn't get through to you. So I had to write down what I wanted to say.
Yan Mo, maybe in your eyes, I am still very naive. Apart from saying I like you, I have not taken any real action. I have never thought about what kind of person I will become and what kind of future I will have. I always feel that I have enough time to choose and think on the way to the future. Until recently, I gradually realized that not everyone has enough time to wait for me to grow up.
Fortunately, you don’t like me, so you won’t miss me.
When I am gone, remember to wash your dirty clothes in the washing machine, don't leave food in the refrigerator until it expires, and put away the used paint properly, otherwise you won't be able to find it next time you need it...
Gu Tianhai
The letter slipped from Yan Mo's hand, and she involuntarily stepped back until she had nowhere to retreat and leaned against the wall.
Tears fell uncontrollably, she didn't know what she was sad about. She only knew that on this day, she hid in this empty room and cried for a long time.
Finally, she fell asleep in sadness and sleepiness. When she woke up, the room was so quiet that only the sound of the clock could be heard.
Yan Mo hurriedly put on her shoes and ran to the kitchen, which was clean. The person who had been standing by the stove had disappeared into a phantom.
Yan Mo looked at the empty dining table disappointedly. Normally at this time, the table would be full of breakfast, and Gu Tianhai would untie his apron while lecturing her: "Can you stop eating from your bowl and looking at the pot? I'm not competing with you."
Yan Mo turned and walked towards the refrigerator, wanting to see if there were any ready-made ingredients in it.
When she opened the refrigerator, she saw that all the ingredients in the refrigerator were labeled with dates and names. Gu Tianhai carefully wrote the cooking methods of different ingredients on the labels to prevent Yan Mo from messing around.
"You wrote all this down, do you think I'm stupid?" Yan Mo smiled bitterly and took an egg from the refrigerator. She wanted to boil eggs, but she couldn't light the gas stove. There was a label on the cabinet where the gas cylinder was closed, which read: I turned off the gas cylinder. Unscrew it counterclockwise when you use it.
Yan Mo stared at the label blankly, then tore it off.
Gu Tianhai was gone, and her life had simply returned to square one. Since it had returned to square one, there was no need to keep these memories.
Yan Mo was ready to tear off all the labels in the house, but it seemed that every corner of the house was left with labels written by Gu Tianhai. Whether in the kitchen, bedroom or hall, all were labeled with Gu Tianhai's writing.
Yan Mo looked at these labels, and replayed the scenes of their time together in her mind. They went to the supermarket to buy things together, made Christmas trees together, cleaned the house together, went shopping together, and discussed what to eat every day together...
Yan Mo suddenly stopped tearing off the label and stood quietly somewhere in the hall.
This room is full of their memories. Even if life can go back to the starting point, the heart that can no longer stop can no longer go back to the starting point...
Since Gu Tianhai returned home, Gu Zhenni has been busy arranging things for him and Ye Zixin. Because of Gu Zhenni's approval, Ye Zixin often appears at Gu Tianhai's house. Although Ye Zixin is willful and overbearing, she is very good at dealing with people.
Gu Shaojun, who was recuperating at home, loved listening to Ye Zixin's stories very much and loved her as his daughter. Gu Zhenni knew that Gu Tianhai didn't like Ye Zixin, but she still often told Gu Tianhai about Ye Zixin's good points.
After Gu Tianhai came back, he attended the company's training class to learn some basic financial management knowledge.
"Tianhai, the weather is nice today, you and Zixin should go out for a walk." Gu Zhenni, who finally caught Gu Tianhai at home, hurriedly grabbed him and entrusted Ye Zixin to him.
Gu Tianhai, who had just returned from the company, was a little helpless, but considering that Ye Zixin was good to his family, he agreed to Gu Jenny's request.
Yan Mo really couldn't stay in that house full of memories, so she took her cell phone and went to the mall to find Yaoyao.
Yaoyao at the clothing counter was recommending a coat to a young woman. Yan Mo, who was in a bad mood, walked up and said, "The clothes here make you look old, they are not suitable for you."
The young woman who was looking in the mirror glanced at Yan Mo, took off her coat unhappily and turned away. Yaoyao, who had hurriedly taken the coat, was extremely frustrated, and she felt extremely distressed when she saw the customer preparing to pay.
"Yan Mo! If you do this again, I will break up with you!"
"How long will it take you to get off work? Let's go for afternoon tea. I'm so bored alone." Yan Mo sat down on the roller leather chair at the front desk and walked back and forth in the store.
"Yan Mo, stop playing here! Let's go, or the manager will deduct my salary if he sees me!"
"Then get off work and go eat with me. I'm so hungry."
"How can I get off work when it's not time yet? Do you think I'm you and don't have to go to work? Hurry up and get up and go away. I still have half an hour before I get off work. You can go shopping around by yourself." Yaoyao pulled Yan Mo, who was making trouble, up and drove him out of the clothing counter.
Yan Mo pursed his lips, walked out of the mall and started wandering around.
Two familiar figures stopped outside the zebra crossing. The red light across the road was on and pedestrians stopped to wait.
Yan Mo looked at the two figures across the endless stream of people on the street. Ye Zixin held Gu Tianhai's arm affectionately, smiling brightly. Gu Tianhai remained shy as usual and gently pulled his hand back.
When the green light came on, people started to move forward. The surging crowd quickly covered the two figures. Yan Mo was afraid that they would run into her when crossing the zebra crossing, so she turned around and ran back to the mall. She leaned against the wall next to the elevator in the mall, her face gloomy.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Gu Tianhai's dress and appearance have become much more mature. But his affairs have nothing to do with her, right? When Ye Zixin stood with him, they were so well matched. Unlike her, she always did things that were not in line with her actual age.
After Yan Mo was stunned for a long time, she gradually remembered the feeling of being heartbroken.
"Yan Mo, what are you doing standing here? I'm off work, do you want to go eat together?" Yaoyao's voice brought Yan Mo back to his senses, and Yan Mo tried hard to hold back the tears that were filling his eyes.
"I want to eat salmon." Yan Mo was smiling brightly when she looked at Yaoyao. But this smile suddenly froze a little bit, and Yaoyao turned in the direction she was staring at.
Not far behind them, Li Hao was kissing a sexy curly-haired woman. They were not afraid of the fact that this was a public place, and they flirted with each other.
At that moment, Yan Mo felt that the blood in her body had frozen. She stood there, staring blankly in that direction. When she came to her senses, Yaoyao had already rushed forward and grabbed Li Hao, giving him a hard slap. The woman kissed by Li Hao screamed, attracting countless passers-by to watch.
When Li Hao saw Yan Mo, the area was already full of people. The onlookers were talking about whether the original wife and the mistress were fighting over the man.
Yan Mo looked at Li Hao without any expression.
She remembered that a long time ago, someone told her that Li Hao had a new lover and didn't want her anymore. She didn't believe it at that time, because she firmly believed that the person she loved deeply had not changed.
Until now, she saw it with her own eyes.
It turns out that people’s hearts really do change. We don’t know when we will fall in love with someone, nor do we know when we will stop liking someone.
Yan Mo suddenly felt relieved. The sadness she had thought of was long gone. She walked towards Li Hao step by step, and then slowly took off the ring on her ring finger.
"Li Hao, you said that we have never officially broken up. I think today is the day to officially break up, right?" When Yan Mo walked in front of Li Hao, the ring was already in his hand, "Let's officially break up, don't bother each other in the future, and live well."
"Yan Mo, listen to my explanation. This woman is not my girlfriend, you are. You are the only one I love. You have to believe me. I am with her because..." Li Hao explained in panic, and tried his best to distance himself from the woman next to him.
The two who were still in love just a moment ago became strangers after Yan Mo appeared. The woman who was denied to be the other party's girlfriend widened her eyes, grabbed Li Hao, and slapped him without saying a word.
"You are such a bastard! Don't show up in front of me again! Let's break up!" The woman slapped Li Hao and turned away, but the high heels under her feet suddenly broke. The woman twisted her foot and kicked the high heels away in frustration.
The onlookers sighed as they watched the plump woman leave barefoot.
"Yan Mo, don't listen to her nonsense. In fact, I have nothing to do with her. I just want to..."
"That's enough." Yan Mo interrupted Li Hao, she raised her hands and slowly put them behind her neck. The necklace with Li Hao's name engraved on it was unbuttoned, Yan Mo placed the necklace in her palm and handed it to Li Hao, "In fact, I should have understood long ago that if there is a first betrayal, there will be a second and a third... Li Hao, let's end it here."
Li Hao was reluctant to take the necklace, so Yan Mo turned her hand over and the necklace fell to the ground with a faint and dull sound.
Yan Mo turned around and left, and the people around who were watching the fun made way for him.
Li Hao stood there, staring down at the necklace on the ground. He clenched his fists tightly and finally let out a suppressed roar.
Yaoyao hurriedly chased Yan Mo out of the mall. Outside the mall, there was dust raised by the wind. The dust blurred the vision, and people couldn't help but close their eyes and wait for the strong wind to stop. When the strong wind gradually stopped, Yaoyao could no longer see Yan Mo.
As night gradually enveloped the city, people going home from get off work gathered in the subway stations, scrambling to get on subways of different lines.
Metro stations in the city are always connected to some underground shopping malls, and many people who come out for dinner and shopping gather in these underground shopping malls.
Gu Tianhai, who had no intention of going out shopping, was dragged by Ye Zixin into an underground shopping mall. There were clothing stores of various brands in the mall, and snack streets and chain restaurants were everywhere, making it dizzying.
When Ye Zixin saw nice clothes and bags, she would buy them with her credit card without hesitation, and Gu Tianhai would naturally become the one who carried the things.
"Zi Xin, it's getting late. Let me take you home." Gu Tianhai, who was really exhausted after a day of shopping, said tactfully, while Ye Zi Xin stopped at the door of a clothing store with a lingering look on her face.
It was a shop that specialized in selling evening gowns, with all kinds of different styles of dresses sparkling under the lights. Gu Tianhai looked at the dresses inside, and the image of Yan Mo wearing an evening gown for the first time flashed through his mind.
Yan Mo also looks beautiful when she dresses up seriously.
"Tianhai, why don't we go eat Western food?" Suddenly, Ye Zixin turned around and took Gu Tianhai's hand. After looking around, she focused her attention on the "Yueying Western Restaurant" in front of her.
Gu Tianhai did not refuse and followed Ye Zixin, carrying large and small bags.
The French decoration style in Yueying Western Restaurant is very romantic. Perhaps because the consumption level of this Western restaurant is very high, not many people come here to dine. After Gu Tianhai and Ye Zixin entered, they quickly found a seat and sat down.
"Tianhai, I heard that all the people who come here to eat are couples. Do you think we look like a couple now?" Ye Zixin blinked her bright eyes, expecting Gu Tianhai's answer. After removing Yan Mo, the thorn in her side, Ye Zixin started a new round of pursuit.
"Zi Xin, although my father and sister both want to make do with us, I hope you can understand that I don't like you. I can treat you as a sister or a friend, but I will not treat you as a girlfriend." Gu Tianhai directly rejected Ye Zi Xin.
Ye Zixin, who had a smile on her face just a moment ago, suddenly frowned.
When the waiter came with the menu, Ye Zixin stood up and left the western restaurant angrily. The waiter holding the menu was a little embarrassed. He stood next to Gu Tianhai, not knowing whether he should pass the menu over.
Gu Tianhai felt a headache when he saw the shopping bag abandoned on the chair by Ye Zixin.
"Sorry, I don't want to order."
Gu Tianhai looked at the menu handed over by the waiter, feeling a little embarrassed. He picked up the heavy shopping bags and walked out of the western restaurant.
The subway station entrance is one hundred meters to the left of the western restaurant.
Gu Tianhai looked at the crowded crowd and resolutely gave up taking the subway. He picked up the shopping bag that Ye Zixin had left and walked to the side of the road.
The air on the street is cooler and more fluid than underground.
Many commercial buildings have neon signs on their doors, and cars with different license plates are moving quickly on the road. Some taxis with LED display boards on their roofs are parked on the roadside, and some drivers are smoking, some are eating dinner, and some are standing outside their cars waiting for passengers.
As soon as Gu Tianhai stretched out his hand, a taxi not far away quickly drove up to him and stopped.
"Where are you going, young man?"
"Please help me deliver these to this place." Gu Tianhai took out a business card with the address of Ye Zixin's father's company. "There is a security booth at the door. Just tell him it's Miss Ye Zixin's."
"Aren't you getting in the car?" The driver looked at Gu Tianhai in confusion as he was taking out money.
"Master, just tell me how much it is and I'll pay you."
"It's not far, I'll charge you 28 yuan." The driver looked at the address and said. After Gu Tianhai paid the money, he watched the driver leave.
There are only two types of people who get drunk on a snowy day: those who have been heartbroken, and those who are alcoholics. Yan Mo probably belongs to the first type.
"I love you, love you, love you forever..." Yan Mo sang Aaron Kwok's classic song as she staggered out of the bar. The waiter who helped her out walked her down the stairs at the door and watched her walk forward before turning back to the bar.
Gu Tianhai walked aimlessly on the street. He didn't know where to go. He just felt depressed and wanted to walk around.
Unconsciously, he stopped at the door of a bar. The first time he came to this bar was because of Yan Mo, the idiot who went to drink even though he had no money. But why did he stop here? He had moved away and had nothing to do with that idiot anymore.
"Come on, have another drink! I am Dongfang Bubai, I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk! Hahaha..." Yan Mo, who had just finished vomiting and leaned against the wall, continued to act crazy. She couldn't see the road in front of her, and just kept walking forward based on her feelings. But when she walked forward again, she bumped into a strong chest.
"Yan Mo?" Gu Tianhai was a little surprised when Yan Mo bumped into him. He didn't expect to meet Yan Mo here. And she was drunk and confused.
"Huh? Gu Tianhai? Is that you? Haha, I must be hallucinating because I drank too much." Yan Mo poked Gu Tianhai's chest, pinched his face, and said, "It must be an illusion. Why is my Xiaohai here? He should be with Ye Zixin."
"Yan Mo, you've drunk too much. I'll take you home first." Gu Tianhai was worried that Yan Mo, a girl alone outside, would be in danger. He grabbed Yan Mo's arm and wanted to take her to the roadside to call a taxi.
"Go away, you are not my Xiaohai, I don't want you to care." Yan Mo frowned, shook off Gu Tianhai's hand, and burped. She danced and shouted in front of Gu Tianhai like a madman, and finally squatted on the ground and cried, "Tianhai ignored me, he left."
"What nonsense are you talking about? It was you who drove me away first." Gu Tianhai sighed helplessly. He stretched out his hand to pull up Yan Mo who was squatting on the ground. Yan Mo, who stood firm, suddenly threw himself into his arms and hugged his waist tightly.
"Today, I saw Li Hao with another woman."
"Is that why you drank so much?" Gu Tianhai frowned, feeling a little unhappy.
"I'm very happy that we can finally break up officially. But I'm also very sad because I will never see my Xiaohai again. He's gone and he doesn't want me anymore." Yan Mo buried her head in Gu Tianhai's arms, trembling all over and crying.
"In fact, I am the childish one. I like you but I dare not say it. Gu Tianhai, I like you, do you know? I don't want you to leave at all, not at all, wuwu..."
"Are you speaking the truth after drinking?" Gu Tianhai looked at Yan Mo crying in his arms with heartache. She was like a homeless kitten.
Gu Tianhai gently hugged Yan Mo and let her bury her crying face in his chest. He didn't want others to see Yan Mo crying, he just wanted to protect her.
"We go home."
Gu Tianhai reached out to stop a taxi, and he helped Yan Mo into the car. Yan Mo, who had cried until she was exhausted, rested her head on Gu Tianhai's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.
The driver looked through the rearview mirror at the man and woman in the back seat. They looked like a young couple who had quarreled and reconciled. Gu Tianhai gently wiped the tears from her face with a tissue and stroked her hair gently.
"It's great to be young." The driver couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Tianhai glanced in the direction of the driver and couldn't help but chuckle.
When the taxi arrived at the destination, Yan Mo had already fallen asleep, so Gu Tianhai had to carry her on his back. The two of them walked in the dim light, like an old movie.
The sound of the taxi driving away disappeared into the night. Yan Mo lay on Gu Tianhai's back, with her hands hanging naturally. Gu Tianhai stopped in front of the gate and struggled for a long time before finding the key on Yan Mo's body to open the door.
The moment the door opened, a smell of stinky socks mixed with the smell of instant noodles was extremely disgusting. Gu Tianhai, who was attacked by the poison gas, quickly turned on the lights in the hall. He quickly put Yan Mo on the sofa and opened the windows in the room for ventilation.
"I've only been away for a few days and you've already turned the house into this state." Gu Tianhai held his forehead and sighed, while Yan Mo had fallen asleep hugging the pillow on the sofa.
Finally, Gu Tianhai spent an entire night cleaning up all the garbage in Yan Mo's house and thoroughly cleaning it. It was winter, but he was sweating because of excessive exercise.
When Gu Tianhai finished cleaning, the clock on the wall had already reached six o'clock. He looked at Yan Mo who was still snoring and sighed again...
When Yan Mo woke up, Gu Tianhai had already prepared breakfast. He stood at the door, preparing to change his shoes and leave. Yan Mo rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked around the clean and tidy house to make sure he was not dreaming.
"Tianhai." Yan Mo lifted the quilt covering her body, ran forward in three or two steps, and hugged Gu Tianhai's waist tightly. Gu Tianhai suddenly trembled, as if he did not expect Yan Mo to wake up at this time.
"Are you awake? I've prepared breakfast and I'm going to the company now." Gu Tianhai gently let go of Yan Mo's hand.
"Tianhai, do you still like me?" Yan Mo lowered her head slightly, afraid to look directly into Gu Tianhai's eyes.
"In fact, I have never liked girls who can't take care of themselves, nor do I like girls who always stay at home and don't know how to do anything." Gu Tianhai bluntly stated his previous mate selection criteria, "And you don't like naive interns like me. In fact, we are the same. We can't meet each other's standards."
Yan Mo was stunned and lost the strength to refute. When she came to her senses, Gu Tianhai had already left her house.
After a long time, Yan Mo wiped away her tears. She ran to the balcony facing the street and shouted at the figure walking away: "Gu Tianhai, I will work hard to become an outstanding person, and I won't let you look down on me!"
Gu Tianhai paused as he walked forward, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
Then I won't let you look down on me. When we both become better, we will definitely meet again...
