Situ Mo stopped at the dormitory door with a pile of books in her hand. It was too hard to spare her hands to knock on the door, so she had to raise her foot to kick at the door until she heard the response of ‘Coming, Coming’ and the rush of footsteps coming from the door.
Wang Shan opened the door and was surprised at the books in her hands which were almost higher than her head ‘Wow, why are you holding so many books?’
‘To write graduation thesis.’
‘Well, I haven't started the writing yet. I spent all my time for the recruitment fair.’ Wang Shan sighed.
‘Recruitment fairs were so inefficient that many companies were not interested in recruiting people. They just went through the moves for advertising.’ Situ Mo answered casually and went to her place, folding the stack of books on another one on the table.
‘You really have guts, just give up after running for several recruitment fairs.’ Wang Shan said after her.
She turned on the computer and turned her head, ‘I'm lazy.’
Situ Mo had had been to four recruitment fairs and each time she got nothing but exhausted body and mind, so she simply took the route of ‘If postgraduate entrance exams were not to be taken in Senior Four, every day will be like New Year's celebration’...
‘I really envy you. I dare not be as so open-minded as you are. I always feel that as life, any possible opportunities should be tried. Try, hopeful, otherwise, hopeless…’. Wang Shan said with a contemptuous tone.
‘So you can be a strong woman in the future, but I can't.’ Situ Mo interrupted Wang Shan and turned back to the computer instead of talking to her. Wang Shan stood at her desk for a while, feeling bored, then walked away.
‘By the way, Mo, your brother Fu just called you.’ Wang Shan collected two pieces of clothes from the balcony and then returned to Situ Mo’s table.
Situ Mo looked back at her, ‘I said that he's not my brother Fu. Don't say nonsense.’
‘Come on, don’t be shy.’ Wang Shan gave her a big push.
‘What did he say?’
‘He said he couldn't get through to your cell phone and asked you to call him when you came back.’
‘I see.’ Situ Mo turned back to play the computer again.
Having stood behind her for a long while, Wang Shan finally couldn't help saying, ‘Don't you need to call him?’
‘No, he'll call again if anything happens.’ Situ Mo said without even turning her head back
‘Mo, you know... You'd better call him, or he'll think that I didn't pass the words.' Wang Shan was a little bit hesitant.
Situ Mo gave Wang Shan a look. Oh boy, this Wang Shan is really hopeless.
Fu Pei, called by Wang Shan as brother Fu, was a high school classmate of Situ Mo. His attitude toward Situ Mo has always been ambiguous. Situ Mo had tried several times to make it clear to him, but was satirized by him in turn every time. Since he wouldn’t admit, it seemed she’s too self-righteous to say anymore, so she had to let him go. Anyway, he’s a good friend, kind and considerate, but what if he act as a boyfriend? Just forget it. According to her incomplete statistics, since he began to understand the difference between men and women, the number of his girlfriends has been as many as a game of mahjong, not the number of mahjong players, but that of mahjong pieces.
People all over the world have felt that Wang Shan likes Fu Pei, although she stubbornly refused to admit. Situ Mo always felt that she had a certain responsibility for this, after all, because she knew both of them. So she always tell the story about Fu Pei's past in the dormitory, attempting to stifle Wang Shan's feelings for him. However, unexpectedly, the more she exaggerated Fu Pei's love story, the more Wang Shan became obsessed with him.
Women are sometimes foolish, knowing that the man is amorous, who is more diligent in changing girlfriends than changing his underwear, but she just feels that she can change him and become a different woman in his life. In fact, there are no such cheap things! His mother had taught him all her life but failed to let him become a kind and harmless person. You just live in hope that you could change him in a day?
‘Fu Pei, this is me, Situ Mo.’ Situ Mo skillfully dialed a series of numbers. Fu Pei's phone number is so easy to remember, a series of 8, a series of 9, a series of 0. She doubted that no other number will be easier to remember than this one, except for 13,800,138,000. ‘How much did he spent to get this number?’ Situ Mo wondered.
‘Mo, where did you go just now? I couldn't get through to your phone’ Fu Pei's voice passed from the other end of the phone.
‘I went to the library, the signal was not good there. What did you want to see me about?' Situ Mo could feel that although Wang Shan was facing her with her back, her ears were actually listening to their conversation.
‘I can't find you if there's nothing? I miss you so much.’
‘Don't be saucy with me. I will hung up if you don’t say anything.’ Fu Pei's sweet words would never take effects for her.
‘Fine, fine, fine. I'll take my graduation picture on Friday. Come over then.’
‘No.’ Situ Mo had never been to Fu Pei's school during four years of university, but Fu Pei always ran to her school, which was the reason why Wang Shan could met Fu Pei.
‘Mo! Come on, I take graduation photos and you don't come. Wouldn't it be too much?' Fu Pei laments.
‘What am I going to do when you take your graduation photograph?’ Still, Situ Mo did not let go.
‘Many people will have friends from other schools to take pictures then. How poor will I be if you don't come.’
‘Look for someone else.’
‘You know that I don't have many friends.’ His voice suddenly dropped.
This is a big truth. Few people can stand Fu Pei's temper. So in high school, except for his endless girlfriends, he had Situ Mo as his only friend. But in fact, Situ Mo didn't volunteer to be his friend either.
Situ Mo did well in her study from childhood to college.
The reason for her good grades is either talent or hard work, but Situ Mo was neither talented nor diligent. All her efforts were forced by the environment.
From childhood to adulthood, no matter which teacher was, as soon as he got the student list, he would say, ‘Oh, there’s a student with multiple surnames in our class. Which one is Situ? Stand up and let me see.’ So she became the first person in the class to be known by her classmates. Then it would always turn into the situation that ‘Situ, please solve this problem.’ ‘Situ, you answer this question.’ ‘Situ, your homework will be checked by random.’ ‘Situ, recite this passage for us.’
...
So she was forced to be a good student by her name. It has been a common feature that in primary and secondary schools, good students should be class representative. So Situ Mo had been working as the monitor from small to large, which contributed to the fact that as long as she heard someone call for the monitor, she would can’t help but reply. In a word, Situ Mo, the monitor of the class at that time, was assigned by the teacher to teach Fu Pei, the cynic in the class, and then she became his so-called confidant. But he never knew that, in fact, she didn’t want to be his confidant at all.
‘Mo! Why don't you talk?' Fu Pei's voice interrupted her recollection.
‘Well, I'll go.’ Oh well, she'll go. Otherwise, he will be too poor without a friend. She has never heard of anyone taking graduation photographs alone.
‘Really? I love you so much. I'll pick you up in the morning.' He didn't expect her to agree so quickly, and was somewhat flattered.
‘No, I'll go myself.’ This guy is crazy. Everyone takes the bus, and why should he pick her up?
‘That's all right. I'll pick you up.’
‘I said I'll go myself, don't nag me!’
‘Fine, let me know when you get on the bus.’
‘Well, is there anything else? I'll hang up if there's nothing else.’
‘You are so merciless...’ He said sadly.
‘You just know that, bye.’ Situ Mo hung up and went to her place.
Wang Shan seemed very busy, bowing her head in the drawer to do something.
‘Mo.’
Situ Mo stopped and said, ‘Hmm?’
‘Uh... I just accidentally heard you talk about graduation photos...’ Wang Shan said hesitatingly.
She's really careless this time... Situ Mo just said, ‘Yes, Fu Pei took graduation photographs on Friday.’
‘My friend is in that school as well. I was asked to take graduation photographs several days ago. Shall we go together?’ Wang Shan looked at her expectantly.
Situ Mo nodded: ‘Let's go together.’
What else can be done? Anyway, she had blocked her too many times before. But if a girl really wants to jump into the fire pit, it’s really hard to stop her.
The book borrowed from the library by Situ Mo was returned back after being turned about two pages. Because everyone was waiting in line to borrow them during the paper period, and she has always been a good girl for others. Of course, another main reason was that she could not understand...
She was chatting with her roommate after returning the book. Suddenly, the phone rang and she looked at the name of the caller. It was Fu Pei, who could appear everywhere. He has been calling her every day recently to remind her to take graduation photos on Friday.
‘Hello,’ she was really peevish. ‘I see. I'll be there on Friday.’
‘Ha-ha, I'm afraid you may forget, will you buy me flowers?’
‘No.’ Why should she buy flowers which would be expensive? At that time, there would be a group of girls competing to send flowers to him. Should he worry about the flowers, with such a charming face?
‘Why? Why don't you give me flowers when I graduate?' Fu Pei’s voice came over coquettishly.
‘I have no money.’
‘I'll give it to you.’
‘No.’ Crazy, better to donate the redundant money to Project Hope.
‘Mo...’ He wanted to act like a spoiled child again.
‘If you argue again, I won't go.’ Situ Mo threatened him.
‘Well, call me when you get on the bus tomorrow.’
‘Tomorrow?’ She did not respond for a moment.
‘I know that you forgot. Tomorrow is Friday. You said you had remember.’ Fu Pei complained, ‘I know that you never take my affairs seriously. How can I suffer so much?’
‘Well, I'll call you tomorrow. Bye-bye.’ She couldn’t be blamed too much. As a senior, who would care what day tomorrow is?
‘Mo, who’s that? Shouldn't it be Fu Pei again?' Wang Shan attempted to asked casually.
‘Yes.’ Situ Mo responded coldly.
‘What time shall we take the bus tomorrow?’ It seems that Wang Shan failed to notice her indifference and asked excitedly.
‘Anyway, as long as it's not too early.’
‘How about 8:30?’
‘Who told you it’s not early at 8:30?’ Situ Mo rolled her eyes, the beauty sleep should be ensured even to see her loving brother.
‘Nine o'clock?’ Wang Shan, who act a bit slowly thought that it would be thankful for Situ Mo to have another 30 minutes of sleep.
‘Ten o'clock.’ Situ Mo took out the newly borrowed books from her bag, with each one trembled to make sure that nothing had been clipped.
‘Ten o'clock? Wouldn't it be too late?’
‘No, but if you think it's too late, you can go first.’ Situ Mo finished taking out the books and put them on the table.
‘All right.’ Wang Shan dared not say more. Although Mo had a good temper, she would not change her mind as long as she has made a decision.
It's night, the moon is like a hook.
The moon was visible in Situ Mo’s bed. She pillowed her arm and looked out of the window at the moon. She calmly endured the ups and downs of Wang Shan, who was sleeping on the upper berth. Oh, it's not good to sleep in the lower berth. The upper berth turns over and the lower berth shakes the ground. Originally, Situ Mo wanted to say something to her. Later, she forgot it. Every girl is full of affection, every maid has affection, too. Fu Pei is too charming to be neglected. She just survived that way in those years. Forget it, the past can't be recalled. Oh! She just forgot to ask him if he had a new girlfriend recently, if so, she might be able to do some mental preparation for Wang Shan first, so as not to break her heart as soon as she arrived there.
Having clearly said to go at 10 o'clock, Wang Shan, a woman with a springy heart, had to get up and toss at 8 o’clock. She looked at the mirror and dolled herself up. Nobody would say anything if she didn’t make any noise, even if she is painted herself like a big cat. But she mustn’t and kept dropping her eyeliner and liquid foundation. What’s worse, she would give voice to every action - ‘Oh, my eyeliner.’ ‘Oh, the eyeshadow dropped.’ ‘Ah, foundation solution.’
Hu Niu, who had a shallow sleep in the dormitory was not happy, ‘You have been muttering endlessly, just to meet a lover brother!’ Hu Niu’s original name was Jiang Xian, a very small girl from Dongbei province, who is different from the northeastern girl in our impression. So we all decided to give her a strong nickname to show that she comes from northeast.
‘Don't say nonsense.’ Wang Shan is also in a coy mood.
Situ Mo take a look at her cell phone, and the time is only 8:20! Her anger came up in a flash. She did not sleep well last night, because Wang Shan had been tossing and turning over the whole night. What’s wrong with her this morning? Did that face deserve two hours?
Taking two deep breaths, Situ Mo opened her mouth and said, ‘Wang Shan, if you're in such a hurry, you can go first, there is need to wait for me. You’d better go out as soon as possible. Don't leave your friends waiting. We'll make up for sleep then.’ After that, she turned over and went to sleep again.
Wang Shan was very aggrieved. Her nose was sour and she wanted to cry, but she did not dare to. Then she went on with her makeup. This time, she made little noise.
At about 10 o'clock, Situ Mo was awakened by a cry of ‘Mo, Mo’. Opening her eyes, she saw Wang Shan standing at the head of the bed and asked carefully, ‘Mo, it's 10 o'clock. You're not getting up?’
Situ Mo looked at the pitiful girl, and sighed in her heart. She said while getting up, ‘Wait ten minutes.’
Situ Mo sent a message to Fu Pei upon getting on the bus. Fu Pei called back quickly and said, ‘Mo, I was trying to call you again. Be careful on the bus. Call me two stops in advance.’
‘Ok.’ Situ Mo was too sleepy to talk with him and hung up the phone.
She leaned her head against the glass window and looked at the rows of high buildings retreating back. All of a sudden, she was wondering on how she could be in this city. A strong sense of wandering suddenly surged into her mind. This feeling had happened to her in her freshman year, when she fell asleep in a public class and woke up a little confused, as if she were still in the high school classroom, the countdown of the college entrance exam could be seen with a turn of the head and… Fu Pei's smiling eyes.
Shaking off her dull head, Situ Mo turned her head and saw Wang Shan fixing her makeup with a mirror. In fact, Wang Shan looked very good, with fine eyebrows, eyes and mouth, and grace that comes from the south of the Yangtze River. She seemed like a girl who's coming out of an ink painting, but she had too heavy of makeup, making her look not very coordinated, like a mixture of ink and oil paintings. Suddenly, Situ Mo wanted to laugh, because she remembered the words in Mulan, ‘ By the window l combed and coiffed my cloudy hair, before the mirror l adorned my forehand with a yellow pattern’
It’s sure enough that women dress up for their beholders. Looking down at her casual clothes, she shouldn't have cared about it long time ago.
Before getting off the bus, Situ Mo received another call from Fu Pei, ‘Didn't I ask you to call me? Where are you now?’
Well, she's forgotten to call him.
Situ Mo hung up the phone, jumped out and waved to Fu Pei at the station. He rushed over in a rage and said, ‘I have tried to call you every minute, but I don't get your call, neither could I get through to your phone.'
‘Calm down, calm down. My cell phone had been that way since it fell. I'm here right now.’ Situ Mo stood on tiptoe and patted him on the shoulder. ‘Let me see, it's quite a beast in a bachelor's uniform.’ This is true. Fu Pei has dashing eyebrows, phoenix eyes, tall and straight nose and slightly thinner lips, which makes him charming.
Fu Pei stared at her and looked around to see the person behind her. ‘Who did you bring?’
‘My roommate, Wang Shan.’ Situ Mo pulled Wang Shan out of her back. ‘She has friends from your school who took graduation photos today as well.’
‘Hey, remember me?’ Wang Shan greeted shyly.
‘Beauty, How could I forget?’ Fu Pei said with a smile, ‘You have graced our school with your presence.’
Wang Shan smiled behind her hands while Situ Mo rolled her eyes.
‘Come on, let's take photos.’ Fu Pei said while trying of putting his hand on Situ Mo’s shoulder, but he had to put his hand down because Situ Mo was glaring at him.
Fu Pei's school was really a well-known Polytechnic school. Although not brilliant, at least it's magnificent. There are many people selling flowers at the entrance. It is estimated that they are temporary sellers for the graduates.
Fu Pei ran over and soon came back with two bunches of flowers. He handed one of which to Wang Shan and said, ‘This one is for your friend, wish her a happy graduation.’
Wang Shan took the flower with a red face and whispered, ‘Thank you.’
Situ Mo wanted to smash his head with flowers. It seems that the man would die if he didn't pick up beauties in a day.
After a few steps, Situ Mo met the friend of Wang Shan. A girl with an ordinary appearance, but seemed hot and arrogant. The girls who were slightly better looking in general polytechnic schools all had this problem, because of boys’ favour.
Wang Shan followed her friend and turned to look back at each step, as if her friend was going to sell her to a brothel.
‘Your roommate's friend is very famous.’ Fu Pei handed the remaining bunch of flowers to Situ Mo.
‘What is her famous for?’ Situ Mo did not accept the flower, but was interested in the gossips.
‘As soon as she entered school, two brothers fought for her, and it was heard that someone had committed suicide for her.’ Fu Pei stuffed the flowers into her arms. ‘Just hold these and give these to me when I take photos, so I can gain face.’
Situ Mo held the flowers and asked curiously, ‘How wonderful it is, what about the follow-up? Do you know her?’
Fu Pei knocked her on the head and said, ‘You're in charge of other people's affairs. Why should I know her?’
‘Because you'd rather kill the wrong than let it go.’ Situ Mo shook her head twice.
‘Idiot.’ Fu Pei reached over and rubbed her head.
‘Come on, don’t you want to take photos.’ Situ Mo tilted her head to avoid his hand.
There were people in black robes along the way. Fu Pei stopped many times to say hello. He took photos with different people. It seemed that he had a better popularity after he went to college. Finally he led her to stop in front of a group of boys.
‘Now, let me introduce her.’ Fu Pei clapped his hands vigorously, arousing the attention of the boys who were playing, ‘This is Situ Mo, my baby.’
Situ Mo held flowers in one hand and pinched him at his waist with the other. At least, these are future elites of our motherland, how could he destroy her market.
‘Hello, everybody, just call me Mo.’ Situ Mo smiled and nodded at them. Situ Mo didn’t like to be called her by name, because her surname was antique, like the heroine in kungfu fictions. She would always feel that in the next second, she had to draw a sword from behind her to start cutting demons, eliminating evil spirits, enforcing justice on behalf of heaven, helping the strong and supporting the weak, robbing the rich to help the poor, and so on.
‘You are the baby Mo who has been hidden by Fu Pei for four years?’ A man sitting on the grass patted himself and stood up. ‘He describe you properly. You're really a great beauty.’
Looking at him, there are only two words left in Situ Mo’s head - amazing. His thick eyebrows wrinkled slightly with a pointed and pedantic stare, and his sexy lips raised lightly to reveal a mocking smile.
Mo was confused, when had she offend such a handsome man? Why had he talk in such mean way and stare at her in disgust?
‘That's right. Our Mo has always been beautiful.’ Fu Pei put his arm around Mo’s shoulder and sounded very proud.
Mo looked up and smiled at him, thinking that Fu Pei, oh, you’re the only person who would think he was praising me sincerely. Her brows frowned even tighter when she saw the super handsome boy in the corner of her eyes, and her heart was crying. No wonder I haven't heard about Fu’s new girlfriend lately. Has he been entangled by male compatriots?
‘Hello, I'm Gu Weiyi. Nice to meet you,’ said the handsome boy, who came with evil intent.
‘Ha ha, nice to meet you.’ Mo gave him a gentle handshake. It was strange that she hasn’t been well adapted to shake hands since she hasn’t stepped out of school yet.
She looked at him once again. He had a temperament to wear a black scholar's robe with a distinctive taste.
Gu Weiyi was also looking at Situ Mo. Is this Fu Pei’s unique treasure? She's barely beautiful, and there's nothing particular about her, except those bright eyes which were very attractive.
Next, Mo got to know Eyeglasses, Big Fat and Ak in turn. Ak's skin is dark, so people translate black into Chinese, and call him Ak for short.
