Delayed confession

The moon sets and the sun rises, and the sunlight outside the window shines into the entire house like gold.

The girl in his arms mumbled something and slowly opened her eyes. She could not help but open her eyes wide when she felt the shallow breathing next to her.

She looked up carefully, slowly lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Looking at myself in the mirror with messy hair, my memories gradually came back.

Fortunately, I just said a few words yesterday and didn’t do anything excessive, otherwise, I would have been in such a mess.

Having said that, the man's warm body and low words yesterday still echoed in my mind unconsciously, uncontrollably.

Gu Mochuan on the bed woke up the moment the girl stood up. He narrowed his eyes quietly, trying to peek into the girl's inner thoughts, but she went to the bathroom very naturally without even turning her head back.

The man clutched the sheets with disappointment on his face.

Xu Weixi calmed down and came out to see this scene.

The man curled up his tall body like a poor bullied child.

She tried to make her expression look more natural, leaning back in a chair nearby, packing her things while explaining,

"I have to go back first, Shen Ruoxuan... I'm a little worried."

"I'll go back with you."

Gu Mochuan guessed that the other party was going to go back early, but he didn't expect that he was not included in the plan.

"The ticket is quite expensive. It would be a waste if I don't go, and I can't get a refund."

Xu Weixi raised his head and looked at the half-lying man, coughed lightly, and looked away.

"You, get dressed first."

Gu Mochuan looked down at his black shirt that had been ravaged by a night of torture, and the girl's slightly red ears, and quietly raised his lips.

"I have a good figure, right? I've been training for a long time. I have six-pack abs."

The man's teasing words made the girl raise her eyebrows, turned around and looked him up and down, and gave an objective evaluation.

"is acceptable."

"that's it?"

"if not?"

……

On the train, the scenery outside the window kept receding. As the year was coming to an end, those who changed their tickets in advance could only buy hard seats.

The two of them finally squeezed into their seat amidst the crowds of large and small bags.

"You don't have to accompany me back." Xu Weixi looked at the man with a gloomy face and said seriously.

"I am also Shen Ruoxuan's teacher. In this situation, I should go back to visit him. Maybe he doesn't want to tell you, but he is willing to tell me."

The man was unable to get over the devastating morning.

Well enough?

Has she seen anyone else's?

Who else have you seen?

Xu Weixi thought that he just didn't like this crowded scene and smiled self-deprecatingly.

After getting off the train, the two went straight to their home in Yueqing without even going home.

Seeing her haggard face, Xu Weixi patted her shoulder with some heartache.

"Sister-in-law, did he give an explanation?"

Yue Qing shook his head dejectedly, poured a glass of water for the two, and started talking to himself.

"Xiao Xi, maybe we are pushing him too hard, and he is under too much pressure."

Xu Weixi didn't say anything. After she expressed her fear, she said, "I'll go see him."

"it is good."

Yue Qing looked at the two people, one in front and one behind, with a trace of confusion on his face.

How did these two come together? Did they meet at the door?

But her mind was now filled with her son, so she didn't think much about it.

Looking at the basketball star posters in Shen Ruoxuan's room, Xu Weixi paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

The man sat directly on the computer chair next to him.

The boy lying on the bed heard the door opening and footsteps, but no voice asking questions. Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer and got up from the bed.

"What, stop pretending?"

Xu Weixi leaned against the table, crossed his arms over his chest, and spoke slowly.

"Aunt, I was wrong."

The boy lowered his head with some guilt. He was too impulsive yesterday and forgot about other people's feelings. After sobering up today, he was scared.

"Your mother said a few words to you, and then you ran out to drink to drown your sorrows?"

"So what are you going to do if the person you like rejects you when you go to college? Jump off a building?"

Xu Weixi's seemingly calm words revealed a sense of majesty.

"I won't. I'm just...a little stressed out by studying."

Seeing that he still didn't want to tell the truth, Xu Weixi was about to make it clear, but was stopped by Gu Mochuan.

"Pour him a cup of hot water. I think he's still a little conscious."

Although she was puzzled, she did as she was told.

After the door closed, Gu Mochuan asked, "Who is that girl?"

"What...girl?"

Shen Ruoxuan evaded the question with evasive words.

"The bar you went to yesterday belongs to a friend of mine. He has surveillance video. Do you want to recall your drunken confession?"

Shen Ruoxuan: “…”

"I told you, can you keep it a secret for me?"

The man shook his head. “Your aunt already knows. I can only ask her not to tell your parents.”

"Will my aunt listen to you?" the boy expressed doubt.

Gu Mochuan was choked and touched his chin awkwardly.

"She is my girlfriend, so of course she will consult my opinion."

His voice became lower and lower, and he felt a little guilty. After all, he was not sure, but fortunately Shen Ruoxuan did not notice.

"I had an argument with my mom yesterday and was thinking of going to the Internet cafe to continue playing games... Then, I saw her kissing someone else."

"Your classmate? This is puppy love, right? Her family won't agree at this point in time."

What Gu Mochuan meant was that he still had a chance and there was no need to be discouraged.

"Not classmates, not my classmates."

Gu Mochuan suddenly had an idea and asked in surprise, "Our...classmate?"

After saying that, she looked at him cautiously and nodded, then took a deep breath.

Xu Weixi was getting a little impatient waiting and was about to go in, but saw the man pushing the door out with a conflicted look on his face.

"How about it? Did he say it?"

Gu Mochuan looked at the eager anticipation of the two people in front of him and didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment, so he had to make an excuse to go to the bathroom and postpone it for the time being.

"Knock, knock, knock." Xu Weixi leaned against the door and raised her eyebrows to indicate that he could speak directly.

Gu Mochuan stuck his head out and saw that Shen Ruoxuan's mother had gone somewhere else, so he spoke hesitantly,

"You also know the girl he likes... Not only do you know her, but you know her very well."

Xu Weixi frowned and tried to recall his classmates that he had met. He shook his head in confusion, "No one I'm particularly familiar with..."

"Think about it again...except for his classmates."

"Besides classmates, I know people who are pretty close to me." She suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"Could it be...Joey?"

Xu Weixi knew that this idea was ridiculous, so she hoped that the man opposite her would give her a negative expression.

But obviously, she was disappointed.

The girl scratched her hair in annoyance, her brows furrowed, "When did it start?"

"He didn't say anything, and I didn't ask. He just briefly told me what happened that day... He was originally going to the Internet cafe, and saw Joey kissing someone else on the street."

"Nonsense, Qiao Qiao has a boyfriend, isn't kissing normal?"
