Chapter 15: Currying Favor 2
"Go up first. I'm not going. I'm here to rest. Xu Xinuo looked at the long steps and said tiredly.
"I'm not going either. I'm here with you. Sister Li, go up and take a few photos for us. Qin Mo said to Sister Li.
Sister Li agreed with a smile, and then continued to walk up the mountain.
Xu Xinuo sat on the stone and took out a wet towel to wipe the sweat from his face. It's so hot today, and there are so many people, but Qin Mo has to come over to climb the mountain, it will really torture people.
Qin Mo took out a bottle of water from the bag, unscrewed it and handed it to Xu Xinuo, and said, "Drink some water." ”
Xu Xinuo took it and drank most of the bottle in one go.
At this time, she felt a little cool, especially when the mountain wind blew.
"We'll take a sightseeing bus down the mountain and then we'll go back." Qin Mo put his bag on the steps and sat down beside Xu Xinuo.
Hearing that he was going back, Xu Xinuo nodded happily.
Before she came out, she was already thinking about going back. Now I can finally go back.
Xu Xinuo looked at the figures walking in front of him, regardless of men, women and children, they were all quite energetic. She really admired.
"Hello, could you please take a picture for us?" A sunny boy walked over and said to Xu Xinuo.
Xu Xinuo looked at the young men and women who were about the same age as him, and nodded slightly.
Qin Mo stretched out his hand to take the boy's mobile phone and said, "I'll come." ”
Wen Wenming nodded, handed the phone to Qin Mo, and said politely, "Thank you." ”
Yang Yueyue, Sun Yuchen and Han Ranran had already posed.
Wen Wenming ran over and stood next to Yang Yueyue.
Qin Mo took a few photos from different angles, and then returned the phone to Wen Wenming.
"Thank you......"
"Thank you......"
"Thank you......"
Several of them thanked each other again and again.
Qin Mo instantly felt the enthusiasm and politeness of the young man.
"You're welcome, you're welcome......" Qin Mo said politely.
Xu Xinuo looked at the backs of a few of them in the distance, and thought of the time when he used to go to college. At that time, they would travel on long vacations.
Now she could tell that the boy liked one of the three girls he was traveling with. At that time, she couldn't see that An Ruosu liked Yang Fan.
Xu Xinuo laughed self-deprecatingly. She thought it would be good if she didn't see it at the time, so she didn't have to be embarrassed. It's not a good thing to know too many secrets.
"Let's take a picture too." Qin Mo saw Xu Xinuo smile, so he proposed.
Xu Xinuo immediately refused: "I'm not in a good state now, and all the photos I took are ugly, so I still don't take them." ”
Qin Mo didn't have any opinions: "Okay." That's not filming. ”
The two of them sat down on a stone to rest. The vegetation on the hill is dense, the steps are dappled with shadows, and the light is a little dim.
A little kid struggled to climb the mountain and accidentally fell.
Qin Mo hurriedly went over and picked him up.
The parents of the little ones came from behind and said to the little ones earnestly: "What are you going to say to your uncle?" ”
Under the mother's reminder, the child said to Qin Mo in a milky voice, "Thank you, uncle......"
Qin Mo felt that his entire heart was about to melt.
"No thanks." He had a smile on his face that he hadn't even noticed, and his voice had become softer.
The little one continued to climb up. Neither of his parents could keep up with him.
"Let's bring the children over to climb the mountain in the future." Qin Mo said wistfully.
Xu Xinuo pretended to drink water and did not talk.
Qin Mo turned his head and saw that Xu Xinuo had finished drinking the water.
He unscrewed another bottle of water and handed it to Xu Xinuo.
"I want to drink sweet, and I don't have anything else?" Xu Xinuo looked at the bag beside Qin Mo.
"Yes."
Qin Mo changed a bottle of orange juice to Xu Xinuo.
Xu Xinuo drank a few sips of orange juice and felt a little regained in strength.
She looked at the magnificent mountain peaks in the distance, and her heart suddenly filled with emotion. A lot of feelings haunt my mind, I just can't put it into words. A deep sense of vicissitudes arises spontaneously.
"Eat some fruit. This also replenishes water and sugar. Qin Mo handed the cut fruit he brought to Xu Xinuo.
Xu Xinuo looked at the scenery below the mountain in a daze, and waved his hand gently.
Qin Mo used a fork to stick a piece of watermelon into Xu Xinuo's mouth and sent it to Xu Xinuo's mouth.
Smelling the sweet smell of watermelon, Xu Xinuo reached out and took the fork and changed his mind.
The watermelon is sweet and has a lot of moisture. She ate several pieces in a row.
After eating the watermelon, she went to eat other fruits.
Qin Mo held a square glass bowl like an attendant.
After the two of them finished eating the fruit, Sister Li also came down from the mountain.
Sister Li took a few photos of the scenery from the top of the mountain and sent them to Qin Mo.
They took a car ride around the mountain, ate outside at noon, and went back after eating.
Xu Xinuo went back to take a shower, then sat comfortably on the sofa and blew the air conditioner, and said with emotion: "It's better not to go out." Here you want to eat, you want to drink, you don't have to walk, you don't have to bask in the sun. ”
She sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the third floor and read her comics, and when she was tired of reading, she looked at the scenery outside.
An hour later, Xu Xinuo felt a little sleepy, so he put down the computer and went to bed for a nap a little later, intending to start drawing comics after getting up.
As a result, I slept until almost five o'clock.
She woke up in a daze, and after getting used to it, she realized that she had slept for a long time.
It's not a good time to use.
Let's draw a comic tomorrow and rest today.
She comforted herself in her heart.
Xu Xinuo was on the terrace and saw Qin Mo watering flowers in the yard.
Qin Mo is not bad-looking, he has a good personality, and he is quite family-oriented. Xu Xinuo couldn't figure out why he was reduced to having children through contract marriage.
There must be those who chase him who really love him.
She didn't know what Qin Mo was picking, or if he thought very highly of himself and felt that others were not worthy of him.
Qin Mo often said inconsequential things to her now, as if he had forgotten that the two of them were in a contract marriage between each of them.
Or is everything she thinks too much. Qin Mo just said casually.
Xu Xinuo looked at Qin Mo quietly, but he couldn't see what he was thinking.
There was a bug flying towards Qin Mo, and Qin Mo sprayed the bug with a water pipe.
Xu Xinuo saw Qin Mo looking up, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back.
She went downstairs.
Sister Li was busy in the kitchen, preparing dinner.
Xu Xinuo went over and took a bottle of yogurt from the refrigerator to drink.
She couldn't help much with cooking.
Xu Jiang never let her cook.
Some time ago, she cooked her own meals to save money. Every time something goes wrong, she doesn't want to eat the food she cooks.
"Cyno, Sir has been so kind to you. Ever since you came, he's been learning to cook. There are really not many people like him who are rich and down-to-earth. Sister Li said enviously.
Qin Mo's gentleness and carefulness to Xu Xinuo, she was moved when she looked at it, and she knocked sugar every day.
Xu Xinuo smiled faintly and did not respond.
Sister Li doesn't know the inside story, and her thoughts are a little simple.
Xu Xinuo is not easy to break, so let her be.
While washing the vegetables, Sister Li continued: "A person like Mr. is good, there is no messy relationship, he does not use his money to do nonsense, and he is low-key and calm. ”
Xu Xinuo looked at Sister Li and wanted to say, "Sister Li, you really have a deep misunderstanding of Qin Mo. ”
"I can assure you that Sir will not be half-hearted in the future." Sister Li said with an oath.
Xu Xinuo nodded slightly. She agrees. A person like Qin Mo who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, and is somewhat paranoid, will not take the initiative to provoke others, and others provoke him, and he is very defensive.
Seeing Xu Xinuo's response, Sister Li thought Xu Xinuo was interested, and continued: "I used to think that it was difficult for my husband to get married, just like the old lady. I didn't expect him to get married all of a sudden. Now the old lady shouldn't be in a hurry, and she won't come over to urge her husband to get married and have children......"
Hearing this, Xu Xinuo suddenly became enlightened and knew why Qin Mo wanted to marry her.
It turned out to be a difficult family to get married, and he was annoyed by his old mother, and he wanted to have a child.
Qin Mo sorted out his clothes and came in from outside. He has a mottled watermark on the placket.
Xu Xinuo saw that Sister Li still wanted to continue, so he quickly changed the topic: "Sister Li, I want to drink kelp pork rib soup." Can you make this soup later? ”
"Yes. It just so happened that I bought salted kombu yesterday. Sister Li said briskly.
Qin Mo walked over and silently prepared to make kelp pork rib soup.
He's cooking decently now.
"A little more kelp or a little more ribs?" Qin Mo looked at Xu Xinuo and asked.
Xu Xinuo was stunned for a moment, and realized that Qin Mo was talking to him. She quickly replied, "Just a normal amount." ”
Qin Mo nodded lightly.
At such a moment, Xu Xinuo had the feeling of going out to eat some food.
She slipped out quietly.
The yard is covered with green grass and pomegranate flowers and roses in full bloom.
Because Qin Mo had just been watered, there was a faint smell of earth in the air.
Xu Xinuo walked into the gazebo. Parasols block the low-hanging sunset. The shadow of the gazebo is stretched very long.
A few days ago, she contacted Xu Jiang's escort abroad and knew that Xu Jiang was doing well now.
She was also relieved.
Everyone seems to be doing well.
That's it.
Compared with the desperate predicament some time ago, she thinks it's pretty good now.
She now felt that Qin Mo might not be what she thought at the beginning, he was a bohemian son.
He didn't have anyone he liked, but he had to get married and have children, and he was rich...... That's why I want to find someone to contract marriage with him.
As for why her? Maybe it's really a coincidence, as Qin Mo said.
She doesn't have the scheming and ambition of those girls who try to get close to him, and when she is in a difficult situation, it is easier to accept his conditions. His small favor can save her from fire and water.
After figuring these things out, Xu Xinuo didn't bother anymore.
They all have a purpose, and each takes what he takes.
No one is nobler than another, and no one is inferior than another.
The smell of kombu pork rib soup wafts through the air.
Xu Xinuo turned his head to look at the glass window of the kitchen.
Qin Mo and Sister Li were busy in the kitchen.
She wouldn't pretend to feel that Qin Mo was for her, but would attribute everything to the child. He's trying to learn to be a good father.
