Stardust in the Moonlight: Little Wildcat, Don't Try to Run Away

When Mo Chen woke up from the sofa, he was covered with a thin blanket with cartoon patterns on it. He knew it was his daughter's, because his son's things never had cartoon patterns on them, not even bright colors, which was exactly the same as when he was a child.

Mo Chen stood up and looked at Rongyue's back in the kitchen. He was lost in thought for a moment. Rongyue was making breakfast slowly. The whole living room was filled with the aroma of food, which made people feel happy.

Isn't this the life he wants?

Rongyue turned around and glanced in Mo Chen's direction, and found that he was awake and looking at her. "Go wash up and have breakfast."

After Mo Chen finished washing up, he sat at the dining table. Rong Yue had already prepared breakfast, a bowl of porridge, a fried egg, and a plate of stir-fried side dishes. In front of her was a piece of exquisite dessert.

"I don't know whether you are used to Chinese or Western breakfast now. You just have to make do with it." Rongyue sat down opposite Mo Chen.

"I can do anything you can do." Mo Chen looked at Rongyue with a smile.

Rongyue smiled, didn't respond, picked up the fork and ate the cake in front of her.

"How are you today? Is it still painful?" Mo Chen also started eating.

"much better."

"I'm going to the school's painting studio in a while...you..." Rongyue looked at Mo Chen.

"I'll take you there and then go back to the company."

Rongyue nodded.

… …

Rongyue is looking at the students' paintings.

Teacher Xu walked into the classroom excitedly and saw Rongyue, “Rongyue!”

Everyone in the classroom looked at Teacher Xu.

Teacher Xu shook the list in his hand and walked towards Rongyue. "Good news."

Rongyue didn't have time to speak.

"Gold Medal! Gold Medal at the National Art Exhibition! Rongyue!" Teacher Xu couldn't wait to tell the good news.

When the students heard the news, they looked at Rongyue happily and began to congratulate her.

Rongyue took the list from Teacher Xu, took a look at it, and found that it was indeed the award notice.

The National Art Exhibition is the most authoritative art competition in China. It is held every five years. All works undergo strict local assessments before being exhibited nationwide. The judges are all artists from the most authoritative art associations in China. It is a truly fair and just art competition at the national level. Many artists will be happy for a long time just to be able to participate in the exhibition, not to mention winning awards.

"And more! This time there is not only a bonus, but also a scholarship exchange from the Artists Association. Do you know where we are going this time?" Teacher Xu couldn't hide his happiness.

Rongyue looked at Teacher Xu expectantly.

"This time, we will send you award-winning artists to attend a world-class artist exchange conference abroad. The venue will be the university that our school recommended for overseas study." Teacher Xu smiled and patted Rongyue. "You could have gone there for further studies, but you didn't make it when you were in school. This time you can make up for your regret."

Rongyue almost jumped for joy.

"But!" Teacher Xu pretended to be serious.

Rongyue looked at Teacher Xu and waited for his next words.

"Your English is too poor! You have to start learning the language when you go out to communicate! You can't avoid learning anymore! Fortunately, there is still a month before you leave! Come on!" Teacher Xu patted Rongyue's head.

"Oh…"

“…Also…I may have to be there for about 3 months, because in addition to the exchange meeting, there will be a series of activities such as art creation…I also have to bring my works to the exhibition!”

Rongyue's smile faded when she heard this. She had to be gone for such a long time, and she had never left her children before... She had to be away from them for such a long time...

Teacher Xu looked at Rongyue's hesitant expression, which was what he had expected.

"Rongyue, your artistic achievements have been established in China. If you want to make a name for yourself in the world, don't miss this opportunity." Teacher Xu looked at Rongyue.

"You should not be buried. You should be yourself first, and then a mother. Your achievements and honors will make your children proud of you."

"Yes, Sister Rongyue! Go ahead!"

“Not long!”

"Don't miss such a great opportunity. Come back and tell us about it so we can broaden our horizons!"

Several classmates also persuaded Rongyue.

Teacher Xu's words stirred ripples in Rongyue's heart, and she understood Teacher Xu's good intentions.

Rongyue nodded.

… …

meeting room.

Li Xin's phone vibrated. He picked up the phone and clicked on the message sent by Rongyue. It was a selfie sent by Rongyue. In the photo, she was holding the paper with the award notice in her hand, making a scissors sign in front of him, and smiling brightly.

Li Xin looked carefully at the notice in her hand and started laughing unconsciously.

Li Xin: [Congratulations. I will treat the great artist to dinner tonight to celebrate.]

Rongyue: [Okay! ]

After the meeting, only Mo Chen, Li Xin and Xia Xiluo were left in the meeting room.

After Mo Chen and Xia Xiluo discussed the plan, they looked at Li Xin. Li Xin didn't even look at them. He had been looking at his phone with a smile on his face since he picked it up.

"Mr. Li, what happy thing has happened?" Mo Chen looked at Li Xin.

Li Xin looked at Mo Chen, the smile on his face remained the same, but the smile at the corner of his mouth added some ruffian and playfulness. He glanced at Mo Chen's phone and asked, "Didn't you receive the message?"

Mo Chen frowned and glanced at his phone, but there was nothing.

When Mo Chen looked up at Li Xin again, he found that his expression was even more smug.

"Why are you keeping me in suspense?" Xia Xiluo looked at Li Xin with a puzzled look on his face as he saw him becoming more and more complacent.

Li Xin unlocked his phone, clicked on the photo sent by Rongyue, then moved closer to Mo Chen and showed him his phone.

Mo Chen's attention was attracted by Rongyue's photo. He enlarged the photo with two fingers. After seeing the words on the paper clearly, and seeing Rongyue smiling happily, Mo Chen also smiled.

"What? She hasn't sent it to you yet?"

Mo Chen raised his eyes and looked at Li Xin sharply.

Li Xin pretended to be embarrassed. "Oh! That's difficult. I said I would treat our great artist to dinner tonight to celebrate for her! So... should I take you with me?"

Mo Chen looked at Li Xin, adjusted his expression, stood up and walked out of the meeting room.

"How old are you! Still so childish!" Xia Xiluo watched Li Xin and Mo Chen walk out of the meeting room helplessly.

Xia Xiluo followed Mo Chen into Mo Chen's office.

Xia Xiluo watched Mo Chen sit down and open his phone. She didn't know what he was looking at. His expression was unclear and her emotions could not be seen.

Xia Xiluo sat down opposite Mo Chen and asked, "Are you angry?"

"What do you mean?" Mo Chen was still flipping through his phone. "I am indeed dissatisfied with the plan just now, but I am not angry."

"I mean Li Xin! He loves to joke around."

Mo Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard Xia Xiluo's words.

"However, they have been together day and night for three years, so they will naturally become closer..." Xia Xiluo observed Mo Chen's expression.

"Hmm..." Mo Chen responded without thinking as he looked at his phone.

Xia Xiluo frowned. Mo Chen didn't react to her words at all, so she smiled again.

"Can I join you guys tonight? I also want to get in touch with Rongyue, and this is a good opportunity to ease our relationship."

Mo Chen raised his eyes and looked at Xia Xiluo.

"Well, I just want to congratulate her...well...if it's inconvenient..." Xia Xiluo spoke cautiously, sounding more and more aggrieved.

"You go ask Li Xin what arrangements he has made. I have to go out in a while, so you can go with him." After saying this, Mo Chen lowered his head to look at his phone again.

"Okay! Then I'll go take a look and prepare a gift." Xia Xiluo got up and left the office.

An unfamiliar number called for the second time and Rongyue answered the call.

"Hello." Rongyue returned the paintbrush to the student and stood up to make room for him.

"Hello, are you Nangong Rongyue? I am Gu Jingwen." A mature voice.

"I am Mr. Gu, hello."

"Are you still in school now?"

Rongyue didn't understand why he suddenly asked this, but she still responded out of politeness, "Well... I'm substituting for a teacher at school, and the get out of class will be over soon."

"That's perfect. I'm downstairs in your art teaching building right now. Can you come down now?"

Rongyue walked to the window and saw Gu Jingwen standing in front of the teaching building.

"Please wait."

Rongyue went to say hello to Teacher Xu, who stuffed two books into her hands before letting her go.

When Gu Jingwen saw Rongyue, he smiled. Rongyue walked up to him and he handed the bouquet of flowers in his hand to Rongyue.

"Congratulations, I heard you won the award."

Rongyue hesitated but still took the flower. "Thank you. How did you know?"

"I am quite interested in oil painting. I know some friends from the Artists Association. I heard them discussing your paintings before. Today I came to the school to give a lecture and ran into them and talked for a while. I learned that you won the award."

"Oh!" Rongyue looked at the big bouquet of flowers in her hand. They were bright and beautiful with a fragrant smell. But it would be too ostentatious to walk out of the school with such a bouquet of flowers.

Gu Jingwen looked at Rongyue holding the flowers with a slightly red face. "Do you have any plans tonight? Let's have dinner together."

"I have an appointment with a friend tonight." Rongyue sounded apologetic.

Gu Jingwen chuckled and said, "When something happy happens, we naturally celebrate it. Let's do it another day... Can you leave now? Let's take a walk around the campus..."

Rongyue nodded.

The two people walked leisurely towards the school gate.

"Do you find it hard to raise a child by yourself?" Gu Jingwen looked at Rongyue.

"No... I have a lot of people helping me, otherwise I wouldn't have time to paint."

Rongyue lowered her eyes and looked at the flowers, cursing the Queen in her heart. She knew that the Queen would not let it go. The Queen and Gu Jingwen must have told her all these things!

"I heard that you've been divorced for a long time. Is it because no suitable person has appeared that you are alone?"

Rongyue turned her head and looked at Gu Jingwen, seeing his serious expression.

"Hmm..." Rongyue nodded.

Rongyue turned her head and looked at the basketball court next to her. It was getting dark and the boys were still playing basketball.

Rongyue suddenly remembered that night when Mo Chen accompanied her for a walk on campus because she was pregnant and uncomfortable, and then the two of them made a wish on the basketball court...

The promise that the two of them made to be together for eternity... every time I think of it, I still feel inexplicably sad.

Normally she would pass by with her students, and she could ignore the group of people laughing and joking, but today, for some reason, she turned around and saw the basketball court.

Rongyue sighed softly and looked at the flowers in front of her. Perhaps it was because time had passed and things and people had changed...

After walking a few steps, someone blocked my way.

Rongyue looked up and met Mo Chen's eyes as he lowered his eyes to look at her.
