"Come over next week to have a meal with Uncle Zhou and meet his daughter," Song Wanqin said cheerfully on the phone, "The little girl is beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and she just returned from graduation in the UK... "
"Mom, I don't have time," Pei Hao interrupted Song Wanqin abruptly, and replied with a bit of resistance in his tone, "Don't worry about this in the future, okay ?" That said, it hit Song Wanqin's sore spot.
Her son is outstanding in appearance, sunny in character, motivated and hardworking, and his family background is also placed here, so there is no choice. But this man is in his twenties, and he has never heard of any girl he has talked to or has a crush on.
At first, Song Wanqin thought that her son's vision was too high for ordinary girls, but later, no matter how good girls she and the old man introduced him, he was still sullen and said that he was not interested in anyone.
The old man said that it was right for boys to start a career first and then start a family, but she was always inexplicably a little uneasy in her heart.
Since Pei Hao returned to work in X city from Y city, his whole body has changed. His former high-spirited energy has disappeared, and his eyes are always shrouded in a layer of inexplicable sadness.
"I don't worry about who cares? You are too old to be young, it's time to talk to someone!" Song Wanqin changed her words with bitterness, "If you have someone to accompany you, you will not be lonely."
Pei Hao knew that if she didn't hang up her mother I can nagging on the phone for an hour, so I cut through the mess: "Okay, Mom, I have something else to do. I'll talk about it next time."
"You..." Song Wanqin's voice stopped abruptly on the phone.
After hanging up, Pei Hao walked to the balcony and lit a cigarette.
Since when did he start smoking, it seems since Moxie left him.
Often woke up in the middle of the night, in a cold sweat, and touched the person who should be beside him, but only felt a pile of cold air, and then his heart sank to the ground.
Then there was another sleepless night, blowing the night wind on the balcony, lighting a cigarette, thinking about everything related to that person.
The smell of smoke slowly diffused, just like the smell of that person. It was a little sweet at first, and then slowly turned into bitterness and penetrated into the internal organs.
Breathe in and then spit it out, as if those painful, annoyed and boundless thoughts can also be spit out together.
Pei Hao often stayed like this for a whole night. It was not until the dawn of the morning that there were twos and threes of pedestrians on the street, and he recovered like a dream.
That person really won't be coming back.
It's not that I haven't found it.
Pei Hao will always do everything possible to find someone. Even if Moxie deletes his WeChat, he can borrow someone else's mobile phone to check his recent status. He also secretly follows Moxie's Facebook over the wall to see his new circle of friends.
It didn't take much time for Pei Hao to determine the city and school where Mo Xi studied.
It's not that I haven't been there.
When there was a holiday, Pei Hao flew over to give him a sneak peek. He didn't want to be like a stalker, so he just watched him quietly not far from the school gate.
Sometimes I'm lucky, I can see him several times a day, but the man is still stupid, and he doesn't know how to wear more in winter, and his nose is red from the cold. So Pei Hao found a way to get Moxi's new home address from Dabai, and sent Moxi a dress and scarf as Dabai.
Sometimes he was unlucky, he couldn't see anyone for a few days, and he didn't know whether he was sick and didn't come to class or went out to play with his classmates. Pei Hao could only take another ten-hour flight back home angrily.
People who don't know, really think he has a partner in the United States, or the kind that he likes very much.
But he never took the initiative to speak to Moxie. In his dream at midnight, he always heard Moxi's resolute phrase "then I'll leave until you give up." When they met for the last time, he always kept away from him.
Pei Hao hid in the United States. where to go. Maybe he will show up again, and Moxie will hide in Africa next time.
Don't bother, it's the only thing he can do for Moxie today.
When Pei Hao returned to X City, the old man made arrangements to let him study for a few years and then take over the company. In this life, Pei Yixin never stopped to enjoy life. He wanted to take Song Wanqin to play around while he was still able to move.
When a person gets old, fame, wealth, and power are no longer so important. Instead, they often think of things that they didn't have time to do when they were young, and the world they didn't see.
Therefore, when Pei Hao first returned to his father's company, he had to follow up on large and small projects, and every important client had to meet in person. For a long time, he was too busy to find Moxie.
He joked with the old man: Dad, my salary at this time is about the same as that of a migrant worker, so I can't ask for leave.
Pei Yixin beat his head: When I first started working in the company, there was no hourly wage for migrant workers. Young people have to be able to endure hardships, and don't even think about reaching the sky in one step.
Not long after that, Pei Hao was sent to the hospital by Jin Yu's people. As soon as he woke up in the hospital, he heard that the old man had robbed a big client of the Jin family.
Originally, the two companies were discussing whether to cooperate or not, but Jin Yu's doing this was equivalent to slapping the Pei family in the face. Anything of mutual benefit and complementing each other was like a fart from the Jin family.
At that time, the old man at Jin Yu's house was dying, and the shareholders in the company had their own plans.
According to Jin Yu's temperament, he doesn't know that the advantages of cooperating with the Pei family at this time outweigh the disadvantages. He suddenly did such an impulsive thing, which surprised everyone.
At that time, Pei Hao worked hard to conceal the existence of Moxie in this matter. Otherwise, once his relationship with Moxie is exposed, his father will try his best to prevent them from being together.
But now he doesn't need to think about it, because Moxie doesn't want to talk to him at all.
One of the things Pei Hao does every day before going to bed is to go over the wall and brush Moxie's Facebook.
God knows how grateful he was that Facebook didn't have access to the logging feature.
Otherwise, he will lose even the only way to understand Moxie's life in a foreign country, which is the only happiness left in his current life.
But recently, a man has frequently left messages on Moxi's Facebook, which makes Pei Hao uneasy.
There is not much information on the man's homepage, except for a few photos and profiles that show him as a white American who works in the city where Moxie is located.
In terms of looks, Pei Hao feels that he is completely unworthy of Mo Xi. The eyes, although big, have no brilliance. Xiaoxi said that he likes bright eyes and white teeth; the nose, although it is too stiff, is not soft enough; the mouth, the skin of the mouth is too thin, and the thin lips are ruthless
...
The foreign man who had never met made a 360-degree critique without dead ends, and after confirming that Moxie would not like him, he turned off his mobile phone and lay on the bed.
However, he tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. All he could think about was what he would do if one day, Moxie really had the other half.
At this time, Mo Xi, who was on the other side of the ocean, was also disrupted by this sudden appearance of a foreign friend.
In the first semester of Moxi's study abroad career, there was a course that required him to do an internship in a company. The professor introduced Moxie's group to a mid-sized company where Shane was the deputy manager.
When they first met, Shane wore a neat suit and showed the group a tour of the company's facilities.
As the only Asian in the group, Moxie received "preferential treatment" from Shane. Shane often asked him his views on the project during the internship.
No way, with a face that is obviously different from everyone else, it is easy to be noticed.
On the day the internship ended, Shane took the initiative to ask for Moxie's contact information. Since that day, he has often actively communicated with Moxie on social software.
Moxie always felt that this deputy manager was more outgoing, so he didn't think much about it at all. Until one day, a classmate in the same group said to Moxie that Shane was interested in you during our internship and often looked at you and laughed. Do you still have contact?
Moxie just remembered and asked: Has he left your contact information?
The students all shook their heads and said no.
Moxie flipped out his Facebook page again with a bit of a sudden realization. He rarely posted photos, but each one had a message from Shane.
Thinking about it again, Shane asked him to go out for a hike before, but Moxie was too busy to answer at that time.
Even knowing this, Moxie didn't feel that life was any different, because he was purely a colleague with Shane.
Shane is a very attractive person, but he has no heart for this person.
To be more precise, since Pei Hao, he has not met anyone who is heartbroken.
