On the other side, Zhou Mo's mother called to me: "Xiao Chen, come in and take a look. Can I get an extra quilt for you? Will it be cold?"
I responded quickly and walked into the bedroom.
Looking at the brand new quilts, I felt very uncomfortable because I had lied to them and I was not Zhou Mo's boyfriend at all.
I stood there and was stunned for a while before I came to my senses and said, "But, it's okay, Auntie, it won't be cold."
"If it's cold, there are blankets in the cabinet, you can just get them yourself."
"Okay, thank you, auntie."
"Don't be so polite, Momo brings her boyfriend back for the first time, I'm very happy."
The more she said this, the more guilty I felt.
In silence, Zhou Mo's mother said to me again: "You have a rest for a while, and I will cut some fruit for you."
"No need, Auntie."
"It's okay."
After Zhou Mo's mother left the bedroom, I stayed alone in this huge room. Although the room was a second bedroom, it was very clean, and the wooden floor was shiny, giving it a very warm feeling.
But I was very nervous. I didn't know if Uncle Zhou had noticed my identity, because there was something really wrong in his eyes just now.
If he knew that I had lied to them, he would definitely not help me save An Lan. More importantly, I had let down their good intentions.
I want to make it clear to them that I don't want to be a dishonest person, because often a lie requires countless lies to cover it up.
While he was thinking wildly, Zhou Mo's mother had already come to the bedroom carrying a cut fruit plate.
She quickly greeted me and said, "Xiao Chen, come and eat some fruit."
There are several kinds of fruits in the fruit plate, including apples, kiwis, grapes, mangoes, etc. They look colorful, which is enough to prove that Zhou Mo’s mother is very interested in me.
I took the fruit plate and said, "Auntie, you really bothered me."
"Hey, don't say such things, I feel so happy." After saying that, she asked me to eat some fruit.
It's really hard for me to swallow. I really want to tell her that I am actually a fake right now, but I can't.
Seeing that I was still standing, she hurriedly asked me to sit down.
She also sat on the bench next to the bed with me and asked me in an elder's tone: "Xiao Chen, how long have you been dating Momo?"
Uncle Zhou Mo also asked something like this before. I feel that I can't hide it anymore and I have to be more honest.
Just when I was about to tell the truth, Zhou Mo's voice suddenly came from the door of the room: "Mom, we haven't been dating for a long time, only a month."
I raised my head and looked at the door. Zhou Mo walked in with a smile. Judging from her expression, it seemed that nothing had happened.
Zhou Mo's mother answered and said: "One month! So where are you now?"
"Mom, why are you asking this?" Zhou Mo replied with some embarrassment.
Zhou Mo's mother smiled slightly and said, "I'm worried, look! Your Uncle Hu's sons are already married, and your Aunt Xue's granddaughter is in kindergarten."
Zhou Mo walked up to her mother, hugged her mother's arm, leaned on her mother's shoulder and said coquettishly: "Mom, you see you're here again. You can't rush something like this."
"I know, I haven't pushed you over the years. When you came to Chengdu, your uncle and I hoped that you could settle down in Chengdu. Now you won't go back to Beijing, will you?"
Zhou Mon pursed his lips and said, "Mom, my job is in Beijing, I still have to go back."
Zhou Mo's mother sighed and said, "It's about work. Your uncle can transfer you here at any time. The key is family. You are already a grown man."
Zhou Mo's mother, like all mothers in the world, hopes that her daughter can stabilize as soon as possible. I can see her good intentions.
Zhou Mo curled his lips and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I have my own plans."
"Okay, okay, every time we talk about these things, you say you have plans, so I won't say more. You can rest early. It's getting late."
Zhou Mo's mother said, stood up and said to me: "Xiao Chen, if it gets cold at night, there is a blanket in the cabinet, don't forget it."
I nodded, stood up and said, "I understand, Auntie, thank you."
"Haha, you're welcome. Let's take a rest."
After seeing off Zhou Mo's mother, Zhou Mo asked me to close the door, and then waved to me.
I hurriedly asked her: "Has your uncle noticed that I am a fake?"
She shook her head and said, "The reason she asked me to go was to help you save An Lan."
I suddenly said excitedly: "How did you say that?"
Zhou Mo said with a somewhat solemn expression: "My uncle said it's a bit difficult and will give me an answer tomorrow."
I sighed and said, "This matter is quite serious. If it's really difficult, then..."
Before I finished speaking, Zhou Mo interrupted: "Don't be embarrassed, the incident in your company itself was maliciously fabricated by someone, not to mention An Lan didn't know anything about it. My uncle said this, he was actually testing us.
."
"Test us?" I looked at her confused.
Zhou Mo nodded and said: "Maybe he is not sure whether you and I are boyfriend and girlfriend! My uncle is not easy to deceive."
After thinking for a while, I said, "How about telling him the truth! I think this is not good."
"It's already like this. To be honest, it's miserable!"
"But"
"Stop being stubborn and just listen to me."
I didn't say anything more. I was stunned and looked around the room. There was only one bed in the room. I definitely couldn't sleep with Zhou Mo.
After thinking about it, I said to Zhou Mo: "I'll make a bunk on the floor later. Is there a mattress or anything in the room?"
"Look in that cabinet. If it's not there, it's not there."
I walked to the cabinet and opened it. There was only a blanket inside.
I took out the blanket, looked at the bench next to the bed and said, "Then I'll sleep there, is that okay?"
"All right."
After a short pause, Zhou Mo said to me again: "How about you go out for a while? I'll change into pajamas, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."
"Yeah." I nodded and walked out of the bedroom.
There is a corridor between the second bedroom and the master bedroom, and the master bedroom is opposite. When I walked out of the room, I could still vaguely hear the voices of Uncle Zhou Mo and her mother talking from the master bedroom.
I didn't want to eavesdrop on other people's privacy, but no matter what, I heard Zhou Mo's mother ask: "Lao Li, do you think this Xiao Chen that Momo brought back has such a thing?"
After hearing this, my heart suddenly rose to my throat. It seemed that they were all suspicious!
Involuntarily, I approached the door of the master bedroom and listened carefully.
Uncle Zhou Mo immediately replied: "Momo said yes, is it still false?"
"But I always feel a little strange, but I can't explain it."
"Okay, don't think so much. Momo is a smart child and she is well-measured. Let's just do our part."
Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, Zhou Mo's mother said: "It would be great if it were true, then Momo would not have to go to Beijing again."
