Chapter 1586: Chapter 1586: I’m Chasing You, Can’t You Feel It? (5)
The car was moving smoothly and calmly on the highway.
Xiao Mo has always been calm and reserved, so Xia Chuqing didn’t have to worry about anything when riding in his car. Actually, there’s no need to worry about fatigue driving either, as he’s not the type to joke around with his life.
“When are you going to Paris?” Xiao Mo asked with concern.
“No need to go for now. I’ve completed all my credits; as long as I prepare my thesis before graduation, it’s fine.”
“Hmm, is your teacher satisfied with your studies?”
“Quite satisfied. I’m the star pupil of my ntor.”
Xiao Mo’s lips curled up, “Not very old, but you’re good at bragging.”
“I’m not bragging. If you don’t believe , ask my teacher. She really likes .”
“Male or female teacher, and how old?” Xiao Mo looked wary and asked with a serious tone.
“Female teacher, thirty-two, single, blonde with blue eyes, great figure. Mr. Xiao, are you interested?” Xia Chuqing felt inexplicably cheerful and teased him.
“Not interested, I only like younger ones.”
“Young ones are immature, bad-tempered, and willful. If I were you, I wouldn’t like younger ones.”
“You’re not .”
Xia Chuqing changed the subject again, “The scenery on the highway is really nice; you can see the stars.”
“Are you sleepy? If you are, take a nap, and you’ll arrive when you wake up.”
“I’m not sleepy. Weren’t you asking to chat with you? Otherwise, what if you get fatigue driving?”
“Your life is in my hands. How dare I not cherish it?”
Xiao Mo’s tone was very steady, and his words were particularly heartfelt.
In the darkness, Xia Chuqing’s face flushed slightly with embarrassnt.
The rest of the words remained unsaid by Xiao Mo; after all, he’s not the kind to be overly sentintal.
Actually, he also wanted to say, if you entrust your life to , I will definitely cherish and treat it well.
Although over the years, he had upset her before, that would never happen again.
In others’ eyes, she might not be anything special, but in his eyes, she is the best, and that’s enough.
Just then, in the darkness, Xiao Mo’s phone rang.
He glanced at it; it was his father calling.
“Son, where are you now? Can you make it back ho for the New Year’s Eve dinner?” His father’s tone was full of anticipation and hope.
Even though this son had made him quite angry, chiding his own child is impossible, and how could he bear to really hold a grudge against his son?
“Still on the highway, won’t make it. You and Mom go ahead and eat. I should be able to make it by tomorrow night.”
“Alright, drive slowly then. I told you to take a flight back, but you insisted on driving. Told you not to work overti, yet you wanted to make it back by New Year’s Eve. Alright, enough said, be careful driving.”
“Don’t worry, Dad, my driving skills are much better than yours.”
“Do you find it hard to not compete with ? I’m telling you, once you get back tomorrow, see if I don’t teach you a lesson.”
“Are there parents who scold their sons on New Year’s Day?”
“Unless your girlfriend pleads for you!” His father saw through Xiao Mo and knew he didn’t have a girlfriend.
“What if I have a girlfriend to plead for ?” Xiao Mo grinned.
“Then Dad will give you lucky money!”
Xiao Mo couldn’t hold back his laughter; sotis his dad was quite amusing.
“How much?” Xiao Mo couldn’t help but ask.
“As much as you want.”
“Then, for good luck, eighty-eight thousand and eight hundred.”
“No problem!” His father knew his son was joking with him.
“Alright then, I’ll have her call you.”
With that, Xiao Mo handed the phone to Xia Chuqing.
Xia Chuqing widened her eyes; she had actually overheard the conversation between him and his father, so now he wanted her to pretend to be his girlfriend?!
“Um, do a favor, just say a greeting and you’ll get lucky money.” Xiao Mo glanced at her.
“? No way… I can’t deceive Uncle.” Xia Chuqing whispered.
“Just say ‘Hello, Uncle’.” Xiao Mo coached her.
“Kid, are you fooling ? Where’s your girlfriend?” His father was impatient.
Xiao Mo gave Xia Chuqing a threatening look, and she reluctantly took the phone and greeted, “Hello, Uncle.”
His father was stunned on the other end, wondering what was going on. Could it be that there really was a woman with his son?
Xiao Mo grinned, “Dad, are you satisfied now?”
“Oh my, you’ve made so progress; this year’s als weren’t in vain.” His father chuckled. “Bringing the girlfriend ho tomorrow? Let Dad take a look.”
“Don’t scare her. She’s timid.”
“Alright, alright, treat her well. Don’t be cold or overly focused on work.”
“Got it. You go eat now.”
With that, Xiao Mo hung up his dad’s call.
Xia Chuqing looked at Xiao Mo with disdain, “Eighty-eight thousand eight hundred?”
“Yep, the lucky money is secured. I’ll share it with you tomorrow.”
“Cheating your dad out of lucky money, shaless.” Xia Chuqing burst into laughter; he was over thirty, yet still so childish.
Xiao Mo remained silent, thinking, well, let’s say it was about the lucky money.
“Uncle seems quite nice,” Xia Chuqing added, “He seems very concerned about you.”
“He is. When I was a kid, he used to hit with a ruler a lot,” Xiao Mo smiled.
“Hmm? You were disobedient when you were young?”
Xia Chuqing couldn’t imagine it. Xiao Mo, such a young, successful, and calm person, must have been a top student, excelling in all subjects one would think.
“Do you think I was an obedient child?” Xiao Mo asked in return.
“I do, I thought you must be a model student! A well-mannered boy!”
“Xia Chuqing, if you hadn’t taken a liking to , I’d really question your judgnt.” Xiao Mo laughed, “I used to get into fights, skip classes, and I was capable of anything. Would you believe that?”
Xia Chuqing widened her eyes again, her face filled with astonishnt.
She quickly shook her head, “I don’t believe it.”
He didn’t seem like the disobedient bad student type…
“You think everyone is like you, paying attention in class, doing howork after school? Listening to teachers at school and parents at ho, a plain, unremarkable student life?”
Xia Chuqing defended herself, “But my academic performance is real, or I wouldn’t have gotten into C University. You know, I even received the Pri Minister at college, and although I’m not from the Foreign Languages Departnt, my simultaneous interpretation skills are excellent! I’ve won all sorts of awards!”
“But I also have those,” Xiao Mo replied calmly.
“…” Xia Chuqing was frustrated. Xiao Mo was the kind who didn’t work hard during the sester but would cram and score well on exams.
Compared to Xiao Mo, Xia Chuqing felt defeated. She truly couldn’t match up to him in anything.
Before Xia Chuqing could say anything, Xiao Mo looked straight ahead and said lightly, “But unfortunately, I don’t have you.”
Xia Chuqing felt her heart skip a beat. She dared not look at him and was inexplicably touched.
Xiao Mo self-deprecatingly chuckled and switched topics, “Do you know? Back in junior high, I got into motorcycles, hanging out with a group of hooligans, racing by the riverbank at night. Whoever lost would drink.”
