Chapter 46 Treasure There was silence in the car. After a long while, Jiang Congwen's slightly embarrassed voice laughed dryly:"Well, my phone only has 98% battery left. Let's not talk about it now. I'm hanging up now." "beep." Jiang Congwen finished speaking hurriedly and hung up the phone immediately, not giving Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou any chance to speak. Jiang Congwen breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone and looked at his toes. Fortunately, he almost got a house for free. Anyway, once the phone is hung up, I won’t be the one who is embarrassed. Jiang Congwen paused and couldn't help wondering what Chen Mo's mood was like now? Just thinking about it, Jiang Congwen laughed out loud. The current situation between the two of them must be very interesting. Based on Jiang Congwen's understanding of Chen Mo, Chen Mo would definitely rather die than let his fellow Taoist die, and push all the blame on him, but can you push it off? If we look beyond the surface and see the essence, isn’t it obvious who the beneficiary is? As for Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou, they fell into a short but long silence. Shortness is an objective fact, while length is a subjective feeling. "You guys." Xu Hongdou just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Chen Mo.
"They are all from the text, talking to themselves, guessing, thinking, directing and acting by themselves." Chen Mo said a series of four-character words, and then made a final summary: "not my business!" Just as Jiang Congwen thought, in Chen Mo's heart, brothers were being used as scapegoats at this time. I would trade my brother's ten years of singleness for my own happy love life. Good brother, I will share the good times and you will bear the bad times. At worst, I can write two sweet love songs for you later so that you can taste the sweetness of love even if you are single. This was probably what Chen Mo was thinking at this moment. If Jiang Congwen also had the talent for inspiration, he would definitely be able to hear a song here and now. [Listen to me saying thank you, because of you, the four seasons are cold] It can also be accompanied by a narration: It is my blessing to have you. Xu Hongdou was obviously not that easy to fool. "You are deceiving yourself and others, covering your ears to steal the bell, trying to cover up your mistakes, and covering up your faults." Xu Hongdou also replied with a string of four-character words, and then asked back: "You're not asking for it?" "You are good at Chinese." Chen Mo said with a dry laugh. "So you invited Nanxing to dinner last time," Xu Hongdou said again. "Just eating. Don't have any other thoughts other than eating." Chen Mo said in a sonorous and powerful voice. "This is a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt." Xu Hongdou nodded. "."Chen Mo. "The weather is nice today." Chen Mo tried to change the subject. Xu Hongdou looked out the car window.
The last ray of setting sun was ruthlessly buried by the darkness of the night, and the moon was hiding in the thick clouds. The sky was so dark that it was hard to see what was good about it. "Okay?" Xu Hongdou asked. "It's okay." Chen Moqiang said with a smile. Chen Mo was extremely embarrassed. If he hadn't stepped on the accelerator, he would have also wanted to buy an apartment. Three bedrooms and one living room were not enough, he would have to buy at least five bedrooms and two living rooms. The two fell into a long silence again until they returned to the community garage. Chen Mo sat there without moving. He felt that he should say something. "What's wrong? Get out of the car." Xu Hongdou unbuckled her seat belt and saw that Chen Mo was still sitting there, so she motioned for Chen Mo to unlock the car door. "Oh oh." Chen Mo quickly unlocked the car. Xu Hongdou was opening the door and preparing to get out of the car. "Wait a minute." Chen Mo suddenly said. "Huh? What's wrong?" Xu Hongdou sat back and closed the car door. "That." Chen Mo was thinking about what to say. "Just tell me if you have something to say." Xu Hongdou asked curiously. "That's it." Chen Mo was thinking about where to start, or how to say it appropriately. Would it be too sudden to say it later and scare Xu Hongdou? Should we wait a little longer? Hmm, this doesn't seem like a suitable location. The garage is pitch black and feels a bit casual. When I tell this to you, will Xu Hongdou think I'm joking? What if Xu Hongdou refuses? If I really get rejected, will I still have the dinner appointment with Xu Hongmi, the daughter of Xu Hongdou's sister? How about waiting? Wait until I finish my meal with Xu Hongmi? That way I won't be embarrassed. Chen Mo's mind was a mess. Just now, he was driving, but he was still able to concentrate on driving and forced himself not to think about random things. Now that he stopped, all kinds of thoughts ran out of his mind uncontrollably. The main reason was that Chen Mo felt that he had not made any preparations in advance, nor had he made a draft in advance, so he was unsure. [I just can't open my mouth to let her know It's just a few simple sentences that I can't do. "."Chen Mo. Chen Mo now wishes there was a switch in his mind that could turn off this damn inspiration. There is no need to be so responsive. Xu Hongdou looked at Chen Mo hesitating, his hands constantly stroking the steering wheel, his Adam's apple moving, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
Chen Mo gripped the steering wheel tightly, took a deep breath, and was about to speak. "Are you going to talk or not?" Xu Hongdou asked, tilting her head slightly, "I'm hungry. I want to go back and eat quickly." Xu Hongdou's sudden voice made Chen Mo's words, which had just finally reached his throat, fall back into his stomach in fear, shattering them into pieces. His courage was completely dashed, and his determination was shattered. "Oh, then. Let's eat first. Eating is important." Chen Mo quickly unbuckled his safety belt and called Xu Hongdou to get out of the car. "Don't you have something to say?" Xu Hongdou asked as she walked after getting off the car. "Um, what I wanted to say is..." Chen Mo was stuck for a moment. "What's wrong with you today?" Xu Hongdou asked doubtfully, "Is it because of what happened just now?" "Oh yes, and what happened just now." Chen Mo nodded quickly. "Don't worry, I don't take what happened just now to heart. You look nervous." Xu Hongdou said with a smile. Xu Hongdou thought that she didn't say anything after Jiang Congwen's phone call just now, and Chen Mo thought she was angry. "That's good." Chen Mo also breathed a sigh of relief. "Actually, I was going to say, I'm going to make braised prawns tonight, do you want to come and eat with me?" Chen Mo said. "That's it?" Xu Hongdou said. "Ah." Chen Mo nodded. "You were stuck for so long just now, is this what you wanted to say?" "Isn't it because I'm embarrassed to speak up about what happened just now?" Chen Mo said with a smile as if nothing had happened. "What did I think?" Xu Hongdou shook her head with a smile. "How about it? Just consider it as a small apology?" Chen Mo asked. "No need. I just told you that I don't take it to heart. Just use fewer tricks in the future." Xu Hongdou said. The two walked to the elevator, Xu Hongdou pressed the elevator button, and the two people who were waiting became quiet for a while. Chen Mo stood half a step behind Xu Hongdou. He could see Xu Hongdou's delicate face by slightly turning his head, her eyelashes fluttering as she blinked, her straight nose, her rosy red lips, and the pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak. Maybe it was because he was a little nervous just now and his breathing was a little rapid now, but Chen Mo could vaguely smell the familiar orchid scent on Xu Hongdou, just like the scent he smelled when he had dinner with Xu Hongdou for the first time and they got close together to take a photo. "Actually, that's what I just wanted to say," Chen Mo thought for a moment and spoke. "Ding!" The elevator arrived. "What?" Xu Hongdou turned around and asked. "I said the elevator is here, let's go." Chen Mo said with a helpless smile. Could it be more clever? Chen Mo was annoyed at being interrupted all the time. Is this a reminder to him that it's not time yet? Chen Mo couldn't help but hesitate. "Oh." Xu Hongdou nodded and walked into the elevator first.
Chen Mo looked at Xu Hongdou's back and sighed imperceptibly. How far do I have to go to get into your heart? How long will it take to get close to you? Close yet far away The person who can't be approached Waiting to meet you too Traveling around the planet How could this be have you】 Listening to the voice in his head, Chen Mo felt inexplicably sad. The melody was a bit sad and the lyrics were very touching, but Chen Mo didn't really want to hear such a sound at this moment. Chen Mo felt that he seemed to finally understand the feelings that Jiang Congwen felt every time he was sad and read the songs he wrote. Sure enough, the world doesn't really have empathy unless you experience it yourself. Chen Mo originally thought that he heard the "voice" and was able to write the song because he understood Jiang Congwen's mood at the time. Now it seems that I was just empathizing and resonating from the perspective of a bystander, just like acting, where the actor tries to empathize with the role, but there is still a layer of separation and it doesn't feel real. Chen Mo recalled his "cruel" behavior towards Jiang Congwen every time he wrote songs, and he actually felt a little guilty towards Jiang Congwen. Yes, there is only a hint of guilt, but it is there after all. "Come in, why are you standing there?" After Xu Hongdou walked into the elevator, she turned around and found Chen Mo still standing outside. She pressed the elevator door open button and said. "Oh, here I come." Chen Mo shook his head and walked into the elevator. Chen Mo slapped himself in the face. How could he be distracted while taking the elevator? Okay, the guilt is gone. "Why have you been absent-minded since just now?" Xu Hongdou asked curiously. "Is there?" Chen Mo said. "No? You can even be in a daze while waiting for the elevator." Xu Hongdou said. "I'm thinking about something." Chen Mo explained. "Music?" Xu Hongdou asked. "Huh? Why do you say that?" Chen Mo blinked. "Isn't it? I remember that when we had our first meal together, you suddenly became dazed." Xu Hongdou recalled, "I was shocked at the time." "Were you scared at that time?" Chen Mo was a little surprised when he heard that. "Of course, that was when we officially met, right? And you were so close to me at that time." "I'm sorry about that." Chen Mo touched the back of his head. At that time, he had not yet adapted to the sudden presence of melody in his mind. Moreover, when a melody sounded in his mind, Chen Mo was always afraid that he would forget it after a while, so he would immediately concentrate on listening to the melody in his mind and write it down. As a result, that misunderstanding happened.
Moreover, Chen Mo didn't finish listening to the song and didn't write it down, which he felt was a pity. Because that song contains the scene of their first meal together, it has a different meaning in Chen Mo's heart. "It's okay. Now that I think about it, it's quite interesting. This is the first time I know that a person can suddenly go into a daze," Xu Hongdou said with a smile: "At that time I thought you wanted to be a hooligan." "That's all thanks to you for trusting me at that time and not treating me as a gangster. You were merciful to me." Chen Mo joked. "Go easy on yourself?" Xu Hongdou was puzzled. "I've experienced your kicking skills a few times before." Chen Mo said with a smile, "If I were really a hooligan, you should have raised your foot a few feet higher and aimed at my vital point." Xu Hongdou certainly understood what Chen Mo meant. She rolled her eyes at Chen Mo and snorted, "It's good that you're afraid." "Thank you, lady, for not killing me." Chen Mo bowed. “Okay, you’re welcome.” Xu Hongdou clasped her fists in return. After saying that, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing out loud. Fortunately, there was no one else in the elevator at that moment, otherwise the two of them would be playing some kind of role-playing game. At this moment, the atmosphere between the two people in the elevator was inexplicably harmonious. One is childish, the other is cooperative. It seemed as if they discovered each other's childish and less mature side, which brought them closer to each other. Chen Mo looked at the girl in front of him with a beautiful smile, and he seemed to have found the feeling he had been looking for. Chen Mo's feeling was now manifested in Xu Hongdou. Chen Mo thought, if this thing had to be called something, then let’s call it “treasure”. Asking for a monthly ticket!
