At this time, Zhou Mo's voice came from the second bedroom: "I'm fine, come in."
I quietly returned to Zhou Mo's room. She had already changed into her pajamas and was lying on the bed. She had also taken off her makeup, but her skin was still so good.
As soon as I came in, she asked me: "You only have a blanket, will it be cold?"
"No, it'll be fine just for one night."
"Let me turn on the air conditioner and heater." As she said that, she picked up the remote control of the air conditioner and pressed it.
I also sat on the bench next to the bed and covered myself with a blanket. I didn't take off my clothes.
"If it's cold, just tell me." After adjusting the air conditioner temperature, Zhou Mo said to me again.
I hummed and said to her: "Zhou Mo, I just went out and overheard the conversation between your mother and your uncle."
"What did they say?"
"Your mother may doubt me."
"No way?" Zhou Mo looked at me in surprise.
"But your uncle said that you were sensible, so he didn't say anything about it."
"Don't think too much. As long as we keep it secret, they won't know the truth."
"But I just feel like this is not good."
"Why are you thinking so much? You don't know, they want me to find a boyfriend in Chengdu, but they don't want me to go back to Beijing again."
"No wonder your mother just said it would be great if it were true, so you wouldn't go back to Beijing."
Zhou Mo smiled bitterly and said: "I was born in Beijing, went to school in Beijing, and worked in Beijing after graduation. My circle is all in Beijing. Do you think I can't go back?"
"You should go back."
"But my uncle is from Sichuan. My mother settled in Chengdu after marrying him. She hopes that I will move to Chengdu with her."
"Then what do you think?"
Zhou Mo was silent for a while and said: "Chengdu is actually quite good. I have been here for almost three months and I feel very good here."
"Then you have no idea and just settle down in Chengdu?"
Zhou Mo suddenly smiled and said: "I really have this idea. If I can meet someone who wants me to stay in Chengdu, I might be willing to stay."
"Well, I know that. The best way to fall in love with a city is to fall in love with a person, right?"
"Haha, smart!"
We just chatted and chatted and fell asleep one after another.
When I woke up, I found that there was an air-conditioned quilt on my body. Zhou Mo must have covered it for me.
I tried not to make any noise and looked at the time. It was already half past six in the morning, but since it was winter, the sky outside the window was not fully lit yet.
I walked to the balcony and wanted to smoke a cigarette, because I hadn't smoked a cigarette since I arrived at Zhou Mo's house last night, and I really couldn't control myself.
After walking to the balcony, I took out the cigarette, lit it and took a long puff.
After not smoking for a long time, I suddenly took a puff of nicotine and felt a little dizzy.
I took several puffs with full enjoyment, but at this moment, I noticed that there seemed to be someone in the yard downstairs, staring at me.
A closer look revealed that the person in the yard downstairs was none other than Zhou Mo's uncle!
I really wanted to die at that time. Yesterday I lied to him that I didn’t know how to smoke, but now he caught me.
I quickly put out the cigarette, looked downstairs at the yard again, and found Zhou Mo's uncle smiling at me.
That smile made my hair stand on end. I really wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl down there. I was too embarrassed to see anyone!
After hesitating for a while, I walked out of the room quietly and went to the yard downstairs.
Uncle Zhou Mo was wearing very casual clothes and was practicing Tai Chi in the yard.
I came to him extremely embarrassed, and he stopped and said hello to me: "Good morning!"
"Good morning, uncle." I said still embarrassed.
"Why are you up so early?"
"I can't sleep."
"Is there something on your mind?"
I don't know why, but as soon as he opened his mouth, I felt that he had already seen through my fake identity.
I was silent, and he asked me again: "Is Momo still awake?"
"No." I replied dryly.
He nodded slightly and then said: "Momo told me a lot last night about you."
"Uncle," I really couldn't bear the discomfort of this kind of deception, so I interrupted him and said, "I'm sorry, I lied to you."
He was not surprised at all, and still maintained a calm smile on his face, waiting for me to say the next thing.
I lowered my head and murmured: "I'm really sorry. I lied to you. In fact, I am not Zhou Mo's boyfriend at all."
Yes, I couldn't pretend anymore, and I decided to tell the truth, because even if he could help me rescue An Lan in the end, I would not be balanced in my heart.
Even after hearing what I said, he was still not surprised, as if he had already seen through my false identity.
"Thank you for the hospitality you gave me. In fact, I have been very nervous. From last night to now, I feel very guilty for deceiving you."
This is also the reason why I woke up so early. Even last night, I had constant nightmares. I just can't hide things.
But after I said this, I felt at ease.
"Yes, I like your frankness." Uncle Zhou laughed, very kindly.
"Ah?!" I was a little surprised. Shouldn't he blame me?
"However, Momo's willingness to help you like this proves that she has a special affection for you."
After a short pause, he sighed softly and said: "Since I got married to her mother, she has barely said a few words to me. I know that she is not willing to admit that I am her stepfather.
"
I didn't know what to say, so I chose silence.
He continued: "I can see that Momo likes you. So would you consider further development with her?"
My heart skipped a beat. I never expected that he would ask me this question, but from this it seemed that he had a pretty good impression of me.
After being silent for a long time, I finally said: "I'm sorry, uncle, but the person I want to save is actually my girlfriend."
He was still not surprised at all, and said calmly: "I guessed it, otherwise how could you have paid such a high price to save her?"
"So I"
He sighed softly, turned around suddenly, and continued to practice Tai Chi again.
But I froze in place, extremely uncomfortable.
While practicing Tai Chi, he said to me: "What happened to Yuanfeng Group is not trivial. As far as I know, the day after tomorrow is the day when the court will be held."
"Yes."
"So far, you should not have found any favorable evidence to release An Lan on bail."
"Yes."
He suddenly stopped, turned to look at me again, smiled and said, "I can help you."
"Really?" I suddenly became excited and looked at him with shining eyes.
"But I have a condition."
"What conditions do you want? As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it." I said without hesitation.
"Be with Momo. As long as you agree, I guarantee that the person you want to save will be safe."
