On Saturday, Wu Hui tidied up her hair, divided her hair into two parts accurately, and put it behind her ears before going out with confidence.
Probably because of wasting such a little time, she unexpectedly ran into Mo Weiming. He happened to be coming down from upstairs. The two looked at each other, both standing there motionless.
"You finally got rid of your fever?" Wu Hui said.
"I quit a long time ago." He rolled his eyes, "I even worked for two days. Where are you going on the weekend?"
Wu Hui was speechless. After her contact with Lord Ruyue yesterday, she was still a little unwilling to give up and planned to go to Eclipse to find out. I may not really intend to get the things back, I just want to get an explanation and learn something about Kisaragi-kun. After all, he didn't say anything prohibiting him from contacting Shopkeeper Shi.
She said a little guiltily: "It's nothing. Since I'm on vacation, I just go out and wander around. But you, you are just sick, where do you want to go?"
"That's not an illness. Since you have nothing to do, it's a good time to come with me to Feiyunxuan."
Wu Hui felt guilty again. She forgot to tell him that she just came back from there last week and saw Yu Hengqing, whom she had not seen the last time they were together. More importantly, Liang Yuejun told her that day that there was an irreconcilable dispute between herself and the police doctor at the police station. She couldn't ask what it was specifically, but it probably had something to do with Liang Yuejun's family during his lifetime. It was also at that time that Wu Hui realized that Liang Yuejun was considered very "young" as the Six Paths Impermanence.
However, no matter this time or the last time, Mo Weiming was shaken by Tang Zhen's words and actions. If Mr. Liang Yue finds out again this time, he will definitely kick them out, and they will never even be allowed to step into Feiyunxuan. The relationship between Liang Yuejun and Tang Zhen is also somewhat intriguing. Wu Hui believes that at least one party must have hidden something from them - the antecedent or purpose. Or maybe they did both.
Therefore, she didn't think it would be a wise choice for Mo Weiming to go there today.
Especially when his brother said that...
"I, I think you should reconsider it again? What if you are ordered to be expelled again?"
"What's there to consider? They have to have a reason to drive us away. How can we know if we don't go to the door and ask personally?"
"They may not tell you if you go."
"But you won't say anything if you don't go, right?" Mo Weiming pushed up his glasses and added, "And that's not the only reason for me. There's no need to worry about being kicked out by them. As long as they always hold the chips in their hands, they will You have to take us seriously.”
After his reminder, Wu Hui suddenly thought of a good idea. She pretended to have gone through a fierce ideological struggle.
"Um……"
"what do you want to say?"
Mo Weiming really asked. Wu Hui pretended to be troubled and said:
"I won't hide it from you anymore. In fact, the clam has been lost."
Looking at her behavior just now, Mo Weiming didn't completely guess this possibility. But when she really said it in person, his pupils still changed slightly for a moment. But other than that, he didn't react much and just stood still at the top of the stairs. But the usual smile on his face had almost completely disappeared.
"You...are not stupid because of your anger."
"I was wondering if you were joking."
Wu Hui sighed.
"It's true - it was the day Yushu and I visited you together before. When I got home, everything was rummaged through. Then, the thief took the beads he found and jumped out of the window in front of me. Escaped. Nothing else moved."
"Stealing? Isn't this an open robbery? Did you see him? What does he look like?"
Mo Weiming finally stepped down from the last two steps and stood in front of Wu Hui, taking three steps at a time and then two steps at a time. She raised her head slightly and looked at the other party's serious face. Although these are all true, Wu Hui's mentality is still a bit erratic.
"I saw it...it was the girl who was completely naked. In fact, the reason why I went out today was to ask Shopkeeper Shi for an explanation."
"You told me about such a big thing today?"
Mo Weiming was almost certain that she was not joking to herself, and there was no need for it.
"Why are you angry? Weren't you in a bad mood at that time? I thought what if I told you that your fever was worse? And it was too outrageous to ask for leave from the newspaper for such a thing. It was even more impossible for me to tell Qi Wen, let him run for me - not to mention he's not here for a while. Besides, wasn't it you who asked me to get rid of it quickly in the first place..."
Mo Weiming was really angry and laughed.
"Now and then, do you have to focus on this? What happened in the middle, you didn't mention a word. Forget it... there is no point in arguing about this here. Call a rickshaw and see Boss Shi first."
Wu Hui breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, it can be delayed for a while. Since he took their things, Shi Wuqi must have his own reasons. If this reason could convince Mo Weiming to give up participating in the dispute between the star disciples, that would be even better. In addition, he has close contact with Liudao Wuchang, so he should know that Lord Ruyue does not want Mo Weiming to get involved.
Sitting on the rickety rickshaw, Mo Weiming remained silent all the way. Although he usually doesn't talk much, the atmosphere this time is obviously different. Wu Hui could feel from a long time ago that he was actually a person who valued his family very much. Kisaragi-kun is right. If there is information about his brother besides his father, he will definitely plunge into it and eight horses will not be able to pull it back.
"I...can I ask you something?" Wu Hui said, "About your family -"
"... Just ask. If you insist on asking, I can't stop you."
Wu Hui glanced at him, and he resumed his faint smile, but his eyes were firmly on the road ahead. Regarding her question, Mo Weiming was mentally prepared. He also knew that his attitude was a bit abnormal, and anyone would find it strange.
"You said last time that you would be very happy if the technology left by my father could benefit people. Of course I believe it, but what I feel now is more about your obsession with him. I still remember you saying, You have not lived with your father since you were a child...so I am very curious, why even though Mr. Mo has not been with you since birth, he can have such a big influence on you?"
Mo Weiming frowned.
"I don't think these two things have any influence on each other. Why can't I be obsessed with his research and his news? Rather, it is precisely because our contact is not long that I am more curious about everything about him. Well. I grew up in the interior, and the environment is almost the same as that of other children of the same age. In addition to me, many children’s parents also work outside the country. Except that I am taken care of by a nanny, they are taken care of by their grandparents, there is no difference.”
"Then?"
"Then when I was about ten years old...it was a time when a child's mind was very active and his memory was very good. My cat and I were taken into his research institute. After that, I never left the house again. Do you understand? When I say going out, it’s not that I can’t go out... but that I no longer have contact with any peers. Before I left, I heard the children in the neighborhood say that in the future we will go to study and go to school—middle school, middle school, etc. University."
"That's true. But I remember having a private teacher teaching you all the time."
"You also know, as I said before, I have never been to school. In fact, some of my peers went to elementary school and came back to tell me and younger children who had no money to go to school interesting things about the school. Although those few People who go to school like to complain, and especially hate doing homework, but this is indeed new for us. I have tutors, and they think that at least they don’t have to go out, and everyone is just envious of each other. I also grew up with expectations for school."
"But you didn't go there later..."
"Yeah. The life in the graduate school is completely different from what I imagined, especially it is so... so closed. I am too bored. But fortunately, I don't hate learning. I have basically mastered it before I was fifteen years old. Middle school knowledge. It was only later that I realized that many people at this age have just started middle school. My father was very bold at that time and dared to let me directly take a knife to the operating table - of course, he only cut some experimental animals. "
"Mr. Mo's education style is really... what about your mother?"
"Both of them are very busy. Even if they are in the same building, it is difficult to see each other. Compared with my father, my mother is less likely to take the initiative to see me. Oh, she is not my biological mother... When I first came here, the two of them Welcoming them together. It was really one of the few opportunities for a 'family of three' to be together. I thought I would rush into their arms excitedly, but no, they all made me feel strange. At that time, they told me that my biological mother was here I died when I was born, but I could call that woman mother.”
"That's too weird, isn't it? How can this be said?"
"Indeed. So I was a little resistant at first, and I didn't even want to call her aunt. But later I found out that whether it was her or my father, I still wouldn't see much of it in the future, so I felt there wasn't much difference. And she was actually a very nice person. , which is pretty good to me. Besides, people at the institute refer to them as 'your father' and 'your mother', so I just call them that. It's just a title, nothing."
"But no matter what, my father is my biological son, so you..."
"There should be this reason, I have thought about it myself. Moreover, although there are few opportunities, he will take the initiative to see me. Especially when I memorize new formulas, solve new problems, and let others praise me , he will appear. He will also praise me - and then assign new tasks to my teachers."
"Ah? Then don't you feel a lot of pressure?"
"Are you okay? But it is true that my uncle and aunt will be more nervous and serious than usual. When the atmosphere with me is very different from the past, I know that he is coming. He always brings me some small gifts - just They are the same as the souvenirs that were sent back to me when I was a child and brought by many parents to their children. They are ordinary gadgets from all over the world. Children still like these. Moreover, as long as I behave well, the group can ask for more. Many resources. In life and research.”
"Did someone tell you this, or did you observe it yourself?"
"Forgot. Anyway, I just feel that good things will come from him. As long as I study hard, everyone will be happy, and I will be happy too. You are a young man, very simple. What I am happiest about is that he personally taught me Sometimes. When others couldn't explain it to me, and when I couldn't figure it out myself, he got through it in just a few sentences. I admired it very much, and everyone admired it. But such opportunities don't come often, so I I always try to meet him."
Wu Hui nodded thoughtfully.
"I understand...actually you have always wanted to get his approval."
"Really? Even now, I'm probably still a little unwilling. I'm obviously my biological son, so why don't I understand him better than my subordinates in the end?"
Mo Weiming's voice lowered and his eyes moved downward. He lowered his eyes, leaving Wu Hui wondering whether he should say the next words.
"...Then, what about your brother?"
