Mo Chi didn't need to work today. She woke up early as she was used to getting up early. She lay on her bed listening to the sounds of washing coming from the bathroom. Long Fei woke up a little earlier than her. After washing up and changing his clothes, he didn't say a single word.
Naturally, Mo Chi did not say anything. The two of them were in the middle of a cold war. Seeing how busy they were while they were busy, she felt a little disappointed in her heart. In the past, Long Fei wouldn't have fought with her in cold war. No matter how unreasonable she was, he would always lower himself to coax and deceive her until she was happy. But today, he didn't say a single word.
Had he begun to change himself? But why did he have to change it when Yao Zhu appeared? Ever since Yao Zhu appeared, Mo Chi had become more sensitive and liked to be suspicious. She didn't even notice this herself.
After Long Fei finished dressing, he walked out of the bedroom and headed downstairs. Only after his figure had completely disappeared did Mo Chi quietly sit up from the bed. She didn't understand why she cared so much about his attitude towards her. She clearly didn't love him, right? Was it because of the baby in his stomach? Because of it, she had become unlike herself.
She didn't know if Long Fei wanted to go to work today, nor did she want to take the initiative to ask him. She slowly and quietly washed herself, changed her clothes, and then went downstairs.
There was already someone eating breakfast at the dining table. When Mo Chi saw that it was Long Han and He Rou, He Rou did not know what to say. His face was full of excitement while Long Han just listened quietly, seemingly not in the mood to speak.
Long Fei then walked out of the kitchen and said to He Rou with a smile, "You don't need to work today. Let's go out and have a look. I'll give you some money later to buy some things you like."
He Rou smiled and said, "Big Brother, I have money of my own. It's better if you save your money to buy things for sister-in-law."
"Your sister-in-law isn't interested in my money. She likes to earn it herself, just like you." Long Fei said.
When He Rou saw Mo Chi standing at the entrance of the restaurant, she waved at him, "Sister-in-law, come over quickly and have breakfast. Today's breakfast is chicken bone porridge cooked personally by Long Han. The taste is really delicious. Come over and try it."
"Oh, yes." Mo Chi walked over with a smile and sat down beside Long Fei. Just by smelling this fragrant smell, she could tell that it was the handiwork of Long Han. In the past, when Long Han lived in his rented apartment, he would occasionally cook for her. For a period of time, because she wasn't feeling well, she was hospitalized and ate a lot of this chicken bone porridge.
"Hurry up and try it. You must have never eaten such delicious chicken bone porridge before." He Rou scooped up a bowl for her.
Mo Chi smiled gratefully, "Thank you. Don't you have to work today?"
"No need, or else I wouldn't have come in the morning to have breakfast." He Rou had a blissful smile on her face as she said, "Long Han used his excellent skills to entertain me. It seems that I didn't get up early in vain and didn't expect that you and Eldest Brother would come back."
"If it wasn't for your sister-in-law and me coming back, you might not have been able to eat this chicken bone porridge." Long Fei smiled with a trace of ridicule in his smile. Why was Long Han's chicken bone porridge so soft? He didn't think so.
Mo Chi and Long Han naturally heard the mockery in his tone, but they did not say anything. Mo Chi's head was lowered as he ate his porridge. Suddenly, she felt that the chicken bone porridge she loved the most was so tasteless that it was hard to swallow. It was as if there was something stuck in her throat that made her feel extremely uncomfortable. It made her have the impulse to throw down her bowl and chopsticks, turn around, and leave.
"Dragon Wave, are you busy today?" He Rou who didn't feel anything unusual smiled as she asked.
Long Han was in a trance, so when he heard her question, he replied instinctively, "I'm not busy today."
He Rou excitedly said, "That's great! Accompany me for a walk. We haven't gone for a walk together for a long time."
"Sure." Long Han agreed. Although he hated shopping, He Rou had made this small request in front of so many people, so he had no choice but to agree. He Rou smiled excitedly. She didn't expect that Long Han would agree so readily.
He Rou then asked Mo Chi, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to work today, what's the program?"
"Me? I don't have any programs, so I stayed home to read and watch TV. "
"How boring is that? How about the two of us go for a walk? We don't need to go to Long Han. "
"No, you guys go. I don't want to go shopping today." Mo Chi didn't want to ruin their plans. Moreover, he knew that He Rou would rather have Long Han accompany her for a stroll.
"If you don't want to shop, then accompany me to see a patient." Long Fei suddenly said.
"Patient?" Mo Chi was puzzled. What kind of patient could an amateur like her look at?
"En, besides thinking about it, you are also bored. Why don't you come out with me and walk around?" His words were still spiteful, not forgetting to mock her and Long Han.
Mo Chi helplessly nodded his head, then stood up from his chair and said, "I'm full. I'll go up and change my clothes. You can wait for me downstairs later." With that, she turned around and left the restaurant. She couldn't wait to find an excuse to slip away, afraid that if she stayed any longer, Long Fei would say even more nasty words to embarrass her and Long Han.
Mo Chi only ate half of the chicken bone porridge in his bowl. Everyone around the dining table looked at each other.
Mo Chi returned to the bedroom on the second floor. In fact, she didn't even need to change clothes before she could go out to wear. What she said just now was just an excuse to slip away. She picked out another set of clothes from the wardrobe and put them on, casually tying her hair behind her head. She purposely lingered in the bedroom for ten minutes before she went back downstairs.
Downstairs, Long Fei looked at her and found that she had taken off her makeup. After changing into a dress, it was also very attractive as she had a different personality. His whole body was giving off a refreshing and pleasant aura. It didn't matter if he wore makeup or not, he was still good-looking. He retracted his gaze and was surprised to find that Long Han's gaze was also fixated on Mo Chi. It was a gaze of admiration.
"All of you go out? Who's going to play cards with me? " Madam Long, who had just finished her morning exercise in the garden, looked around and asked anxiously when she found that everyone seemed to be preparing to go out.
"Auntie, I'll come back for you to touch later, and coincidentally, the dragon feast will also be in the afternoon." He Rou laughed.
"What about you? Mo Chi? " Madam Long turned towards Mo Chi. Mo Chi's gaze landed on Long Fei. This question was not easy to answer because she was accompanying Long Fei to see a patient. Only Long Fei knew when to look.
Long Feidei answered, "Mom, as long as you call me over, I'll immediately send Mo Chi back to you."
Madam Long chuckled. "Alright, your words are enough. You can all go and play. Have fun."
Sitting in the car, Mo Chi looked out the window at the street scenery which gradually became unfamiliar, and confirmed that this road didn't lead to the hospital where Long Fei was. But instead of asking where he was taking her, she leaned back in her chair.
She knew that the reason why he brought her out on the flying belt was because of Long Han. He didn't like her having too many opportunities to come into contact with Long Han. Along the way, the two of them were still silent and no one had any intentions of talking. Mo Chi never took the initiative to speak after a quarrel, but Long Fei also stayed silent all the way, which made her feel astonished and helpless.
The car travelled for a long time before finally stopping in front of a flat house halfway up the mountain. Long Fei also said the first words he had said since leaving the house: "You get off the car and walk around nearby. Don't go too far, I'll come out in about half an hour."
Mo Chi looked around him. This was a relatively remote suburb, surrounded by fruit trees and bungalows. There was only one path up the mountain, which was the one they were walking on. The scenery here was pretty good, but to let her walk alone while living in such familiarity, she was truly a little afraid. Who knows which children will throw stones at her, which dogs will chase after her?
Mo Chi turned to look at him and said, "You go ahead, I'll wait in the car."
Long Fei could already see the fear on her face, so he didn't make things difficult for her. He opened the car door and got off, then took out a medicine box from the back of the car and walked inside. An old woman came out of the house, smiling at him and bowing and greeting.
As Long Fei was invited into the room, Mo Chi was a little curious. He was the boss of the hospital, the attending physician. No matter what, he would still have some time to make a diagnosis. This sort of thing would normally not happen to big shots like them. They really didn't understand him.
In reality, there were many things about Long Fei that she did not understand because she had never properly and sincerely understood him. As a wife, she had to admit that she had failed.
Mo Chi opened the car window and listlessly opened the CD to listen to music. Inside, there were a few solos, which Long Fei liked. Although she wasn't fond of music, listening to it when she was bored was still acceptable.
Just as she leaned against the back of the chair and closed her eyes to rest, she heard someone knocking on the window. She opened her eyes and saw a small old lady standing outside. It was the old lady who had just welcomed Long Fei into the room. The old lady seemed to be quite happy. She opened her toothless mouth and said, "Miss, why don't you go in and have a drink of water? How hot is it in the car?"
"Ugh …" Mo Chi glanced at the window. She didn't actually feel warm at all, but seeing the old lady's warm smile, she could only laugh uncomfortably, "It's alright. I'm fine sitting in the car. Thank you, old lady."
"Don't call me Madam. Just call me Aunt Zhang, that's what Doctor Long calls me." The old lady smiled. "That said, you are Doctor Long's wife, the big benefactor of our family. Benefactor, please come in and sit down. Come, come down."
"No, don't say that, Auntie. Sending help for the injured is the responsibility of the doctor. This is what he should do."
"No, we've all been to many hospitals, but we've never met a doctor as good as Doctor Long. Doctor Long is a good person, it's good luck for us to have a girl." The old lady was obviously very happy and pleased for Mo Chi.
Mo Chi felt very uncomfortable being flattered by her. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Was Long Fei a good person? Was she lucky? Why had she never felt this way before? Mo Chi shook his head and laughed because a visit was categorized as a good person.
"Miss, get out of the car and sit inside. Auntie will serve you green bean paste." The old lady urged again.
Mo Chi couldn't refuse, so he got out of the car and followed the old lady into the house.
The room was one of those old-fashioned bungalows. The space was not considered small, but the decorations were simple. With a quick glance, one could not find anything of value. There was a skinny old man sitting in the corner of the living room. He looked a little stupid, and in the middle of the living room, there was a cute little girl sitting on a wheelchair.
The little girl stared at Mo Chi with her big, twinkling eyes, obviously curious about her arrival.
Long Fei was taking her blood pressure, his expression was careful and serious.
The old lady smiled and instructed the little girl, "Tiantian, hurry and call aunty."
The little girl obediently greeted, "Hello Auntie."
"Good girl." Mo Chi extended his hand to touch her little head, but was pushed away by Long Fei. "Don't touch her first."
Mo Chi awkwardly retracted his hand, the old lady pulled her to the side of the table and sat down. She enthusiastically said, "Miss, please sit for a moment, I'll go bring you a bowl of green bean sand. I cooked it myself, it's much better than what's being sold outside."
"NO!" "No need …" Mo Chi's words were still in his mouth when the old lady walked into the kitchen.
The living room instantly quieted down. Mo Chi couldn't play with Tiantian, couldn't communicate with that old man, and definitely couldn't disturb Long Fei's work. He could only sit on a chair and re-evaluate this simple and crude house. Such a poor family should be considered rare in Binhai City. Why would Long Fei come here to seek medical treatment? Was it sympathy?
The old lady had just said that Long Fei was her family's benefactor, so it must be true. She didn't expect him to have such a kind moment. In her impression, Long Fei was just an elegant and elegant young master, who liked to squander his fortune with a bunch of rich second generations. He should only have money and women in his heart, how could there be a poor person?
Long Fei lowered his head to help treat Tiantian, while Mo Chi secretly watched him. This was the first time Mo Chi saw him work so hard. Long Fei used to work in the hospital, so she almost never went there to find him.
The old granny quickly carried out two bowls of green bean sand from the kitchen and placed one of them in front of Mo Chi with a smile, "Miss, try out whether the green bean sand that auntie cooks tastes good. If you like it, I'll make it for you next time."
"Thank you." Mo Chi took the porcelain bowl, "Aunt, I'm Mo Chi. You can call me Mo Chi from now on."
"Un, Mo Chi. He's so nice to listen to." The old lady praised, her eyes still fixed on her, waiting for her to taste her handiwork. She had specially prepared this green bean sand for Long Fei to eat. Other than these, she didn't have anything better to thank him for.
Mo Chi actually didn't like eating mung beans, but seeing how enthusiastic the old lady was, she could only scoop a spoonful and put it in her mouth. Then, she pretended to be happy and nodded, "It's delicious, much better than the ones sold outside."
"As long as it's delicious." As she spoke, she went to get another bowl for Mo Chi. Mo Chi hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no need. I just had breakfast, I really can't finish it. Thank you."
Long Fei was very clear that Mo Chi didn't like eating green bean paste. Hearing her hypocritical words, he couldn't help but feel funny and cute. She knew that Mo Chi was doing this out of good intentions.
He helped Tiantian plug in a few drops, went into the bathroom to wash her hands, then walked to Mo Chi's side and sat down. The old lady was already urging him to eat green bean paste. He really liked mung beans, so they tasted good.
Mo Chi barely finished the green bean sand in the bowl. In order to prevent the old lady from persuading her to eat another bowl, she immediately put the bowl down and walked to Tiantian's side. She smiled and teased, "Little friend, what's your name? You're so strong, you didn't even yell for pain when you injected yourself. "
"Auntie, I'm called Tiantian." Tiantian obediently said, "Uncle Long said, a child that cries after acupuncture is not a good child, so I can't cry. I want to be a good child so Mom and Dad can come back to me, Grandma said." Tiantian said in all seriousness, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Old Granny chuckled and lowered her voice, "This is what I said to coax her. Actually, her parents are long gone. They will never come back in this life. Doctor Long, Miss Mo, please don't make fun of them."
"Yes, I understand." Mo Chi nodded. There was actually a bunch of questions in her heart, but she had already understood some of them. In order to not touch the hearts of others, she could only suppress the curiosity in her heart. Tiantian was a pitiful child, she could tell from the moment she entered the room. She just didn't expect that her parents had died a long time ago.
"Aunt Mo Chi, will you visit me again in the future?" Tiantian looked at her expectantly.
Mo Chi didn't expect her to ask such a question and didn't know how to answer her for a moment. He turned his head to look at Long Fei and replied with a smile, "Of course I will. As long as Tiantian obediently takes the injection, Auntie will come often to see Tiantian."
"Really? "Then I'll definitely take my medicine on time!" Tiantian exclaimed happily. Seeing her happy expression, Mo Chi felt too embarrassed to continue attacking her, so he could only laugh along. Actually, she didn't know whether or not she would have a chance the next time. The reason Long Fei brought her here was because he didn't want her to stay in the Long Residence and interact with Long Han too much. He definitely wouldn't bring her along when he came to consult with the little girl again.
