Chapter 20

"Why do you always think about your work? Is it important for work or me? I won't let you leave again, not even for a moment!" He began to be arrogant and unreasonable again.

"Then let me think about it." I figured out his background, and tried not to compete with him when arguing.

He still seemed a little impatient, "Don't think about it, you hurry up and get your household registration booklet and passport, the National Day is coming, and there are a lot of people traveling abroad, so it's very troublesome to apply for a visa."

Shortly after the National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival, Geng Mochi took me out for dinner, but instead of going to restaurants or restaurants, he drove me into an unfamiliar tree-lined road. The whole road is quiet and elegant, with wide sidewalks and thick roads. Street trees.

"Where is this?" I looked around and asked.

"It's the place where I lived when I was a child, an old house in my family." As he spoke, he had already parked the car in front of a majestic crimson red carved iron gate. "My mother came back from abroad, she wants to see you." He said as he opened the car door for me.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw a delicate wooden sign on the wall next to the iron gate, with the word "Moyuan" engraved on it.The house is a typical small bungalow with a pointed roof in the old days. It has three floors, a red exterior wall, a chimney on the roof, and round arched windows. There are crimson semicircular carved iron bars on the second and third floors. On the balcony, red or white chrysanthemums are blooming all over the balcony. As soon as you enter the yard, you can smell the fragrance.

Frankly speaking, Geng Mochi took me to meet his mother this time, which surprised me even more. According to the traditional saying, I met his parents. I was both excited and nervous. I blamed Geng Mochi for telling me earlier, but he said, "Forget it, I can't stand you being so serious."

"At least I can change into decent clothes and put on some light makeup. This is also my respect for my aunt."

Geng Mochi glanced at me contemptuously, "I'd rather see a rabbit than a panda!"

Speaking of this, I was so embarrassed that I was dying of embarrassment. Last time Geng Mochi took me to a birthday dinner for a friend in his circle. He went directly from the studio, and then sent a driver to pick me up. I tidied up, so I followed the trend and put on a smoky makeup to go to the meeting, but my makeup skills were really bad, and when I entered the venue, I attracted laughter from those people. It turned out that my smoky makeup faded away and became a real panda.I don't even know how to describe the way Geng Mochi looked at me at that time, wishing he could shoot me to death.

Before he went out, he mentioned this again, and I muttered, "Pandas are national treasures, okay?"

He gave me a smack on the back of the head, "Just you, you're almost the same as a living treasure!"

After entering the door, Geng Mochi's mother had been waiting in the living room for a long time.I stared at the beautiful woman sitting on the sofa and was so surprised that I couldn't speak for a long time. Is that his mother?Why is she so young, she looks less than 40 years old!
She wore a well-tailored white dress and a pink-purple wool cardigan over it, revealing her elegant and dignified temperament.She didn't wear the short hair that middle-aged women are accustomed to, but a head of black curly hair hanging down her shoulders to her chest, especially her face, which was as white as snow, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and her lavender lipstick was the same color as her hair. The shirt fits perfectly.She sat on the sofa with an elegant posture, looked at me dumbfounded with a smile, nodded to me, and motioned for me to sit opposite her.

I sat down awkwardly, too nervous to lift my head.Geng Mochi sat down on the sofa next to me, and I peeked at their mother and son. The elegance and nobility are obviously innate and exude from the bones. I am glad that I have no makeup, otherwise I would be even more uncomfortable.At this time, an old servant with white hair came out from one side of the living room, walked lightly, and came to the sofa to serve tea to Geng Mochi and me, "Miss, please drink tea."

I nodded, didn't even say thank you, and started to drink the tea.

"It's very hot, wait a minute." Geng Mochi suddenly reminded him from the side.It’s okay if he didn’t say anything, but when he said it, I was startled, my hand shook, and the hot tea splashed out, so hot that I almost dropped the cup on the ground.

"Look at you, you are so careless..." Geng Mochi blamed.

"It's not hot, is it?" Geng's mother hurriedly stood up, came over and took my hand to see, "Fortunately, it's not very important." Then she told the old servant, "Liu Ma, quickly bring a cold towel."

I looked at her gratefully, a faint fragrance emanated from her body, the aura of motherhood and that fragrance complemented each other, softening people from the bottom of their hearts.

"Aren't you old?" Mother Geng asked with a smile, sat down beside me, and lovingly stroked my messy hair.

"I'm... 28." I was still very nervous and couldn't speak fluently.

Mother Geng laughed, "In foreign countries, no girl would take the initiative to tell her age."

"Mom, she's just like this, don't laugh at me." Geng Mochi glanced at me helplessly, as if I was embarrassing him.

"How come, I like it very much. I like her very much as soon as she came in." Geng's mother looked at me carefully, and suddenly said as if she found some rare treasure, "Mochi, don't you think your girlfriend Does it look like Annie? It's not the looks, it's the temperament..."

"Who is Annie?" I asked curiously.

"Oh, it's my daughter, Mochi's younger sister." Geng's mother explained, her eyes always lingering on me.

During dinner, Mother Geng was still looking at me, still smiling.

"Now I understand why Mochi likes you so much." Mother Geng said suddenly.

"why?"

"He knows it in his own heart." Geng's mother turned her gaze to Geng Mochi, and there was a kind of sadness and love that I couldn't understand in her eyes.I also looked at him, wondering what he knew clearly, in fact, when did I understand what he thought?

"Mom, don't talk nonsense." Geng Mochi showed displeasure, and ate the food on the plate calmly, not looking at me at all.He's hiding something, I can feel it.

After dinner, Mother Geng took me to her room to talk.Her room smells as good as her body. The room is spotless, with white carpets, white floor-to-ceiling curtains, and fresh chrysanthemums in the antique vase on the dressing table. It is my favorite chrysanthemum fragrance.

"How long have you known Mochi?" Geng's mother asked me to sit by the bed.

I thought about it and said, "Three years."

Geng's mother sighed, and her face suddenly became solemn, "In all these years, I've never seen him treat a woman as seriously as you. Even Yesha is not half as good as you."

I said nothing, waiting for her to continue.

"The boy Mochi has a stubborn temper and is very arrogant, just like his father who passed away. So he has been withdrawn since he was a child, and he is very arbitrary in dealing with people and things. People just can't let go. He is my only son, I know him well, I heard about you from him two years ago, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and then he didn't mention it again, so I just let it go I forgot about it, but he was in a bad mood all the time, depressed and in poor health... At first I didn’t know why, but then he went to New Zealand to visit me and saw yours under his pillow by chance Photos, I understood all at once, he became preoccupied because of you. He couldn’t let go of you and kept your photos with him all the time, but he never took photos of his wife who lived with him for six years Take it. I suddenly understood how important you are to him..."

I lowered my head, tears covering my eyeballs like mist.

"I'm very curious about you, and I've been wondering what kind of girl he is so fond of. After meeting you today, I really understand the feelings in my son's heart." Mother Geng said Here the eye sockets became moist, and those eyes that were no longer young but still beautiful showed heartbreaking sadness, "Mochi has not been very happy since he was a child, maybe because he has no father, he and the people around him have always been in harmony with each other. He was out of place. He poured all his emotions into the piano. When he was a child, teaching him to play the piano was originally intended to give him some sustenance and relieve loneliness, but things backfired. No matter how good the piano was, he was still unhappy. In the few years of Yesha’s marriage, I have rarely seen him really happy. As a mother, my lifelong wish is not to expect him to be such a great musician, but to hope that he lives sincerely and happily, not like I have lived in depression all my life..."

"Why are you depressed?" I suddenly asked a very stupid question.

"It's hard to say, your generation won't understand what happened to our previous generations." Geng's mother looked at me and shook her head, stroking my hair like a mother and said, "Promise me, Kao'er, to stay in Mochi Be around, I can see that only you can make him truly happy. Maybe his temper is not so easy to get along with, but he has you in his heart... Maybe you think I am selfish, disregarding other people's feelings for my son, but I am a mother, a very helpless mother, you don't understand many things, how important he is to me..."

When he returned to the bedroom, Geng Mochi was leaning against the bed and reading a book, the soft light made his face look strangely peaceful and gentle.I lay in his arms like a cat, leaned on him and said, "Mo Chi, why did you bring me to see your mother?"

"What do you think?" He didn't look up, his eyes were fixed on the book.

"I didn't embarrass you this time, did I?"

"You are all shameless people, how can you lose face?"

"Hate!" I pinched him.He grabbed my hand, put down the book, looked at me and said, "Don't you think this is good? We should all really integrate into each other's lives. Two people really want to stay together, not just living together and having sex. I didn’t think about this before. I always felt that love is two people together, isolated from the world, and not disturbed by the outside world. Now I understand that love is based on life, and love separated from life is very unreliable. So I hope you can integrate into my life as soon as possible, not only become a part of my life, but also a part of my family."

"Well, I'll take you to see my family too, but..." I looked at him with some embarrassment, "My parents are not educated, I don't know if they will accept an educated person like you, but what do you want?" Be mentally prepared." In fact, my mother has always been very taboo about me getting together with Geng Mochi, and she was very nervous when she heard that I was coming to Shanghai, and she made phone calls every now and then, which annoyed me.

Geng Mochi was in a trance for a moment, he seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't seem to think about anything, he stroked my long messy hair, hesitant to say: "I'm not a very likable son-in-law, you know, I I don't like to please people. But... well, I will try to reach out to your family, but not now, in the future..."

"Why do you want to wait until later? How about you come back to Hunan to meet my parents after my training?"

Geng Mochi was quite unconfident, "I'm afraid of being kicked out by your parents."

"Hey, you still have self-knowledge?"

"Because I abducted their daughter, they will definitely hate me."

"Then tell me, where are you going to take me?"

"The question is, would you like to come with me?"

"Yes, I am willing to go anywhere, as long as it is not too far away from home. In fact, it is very good to stay in Shanghai, and it is very convenient to go back to Hunan. Of course, it is best for us to return to Hunan to settle down, but... I know this is impossible. Your career and The circle of life is here, I have to accommodate you, marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, don’t you think?”

He immediately became angry, "Who is a chicken dog?"

"I, I'm using an analogy."

"I'll slap you to death!" Geng Mochi dragged me into the quilt, wrapped me up and kissed me, taking off my pajamas while kissing.His palms were hot, and he seemed to be on fire when he stroked my body, and I instantly became ablaze, murmuring indistinctly: "Mochi, whether you are a chicken or a dog, I love you the same, I love you very much ..."

"Try to say it again, I'll strangle you to death." He bit my earlobe, wishing he could bite off my whole ear.I was talking nonsense as soon as I burned, but my consciousness was still clear, and I instinctively catered to him, panting, "You just said that you want me to be part of your family, do you want to propose to me?"

"It's a good idea, I beg you? It's almost as good as you beg me." He refused to admit it.

"Then get out of here."

"Get out when you're done."

Waking up in the middle of the night with an empty pillow, I got up to look for Geng Mochi.

The house was very dark, I walked barefoot on the soft carpet, and when I left the bedroom, I felt that the lights were on downstairs, but I didn't go downstairs. Geng Mochi and his mother were sitting on the sofa in the living room talking, I didn't want to rush disturb.

"Are you really planning that?" Geng's mother's voice sounded a bit choked, "I'm really afraid that she will become the second Yesha again, I don't know why, I think this child is very pitiful and lonely, very similar to Anne when she was young, You can't help but want to warm her up."

"That's why I want to take her with me everywhere, and I won't let her leave me for half a step." Geng Mochi was smoking, the red cigarette butt was flickering in the dark corner, he couldn't see his expression clearly, but Feeling that his heart is splitting, "Actually, I am more lonely than her. Mom, you know, since I was a child, I can't get along with the people around me. I don't need anything, but I always feel that I have nothing, nothing belongs to me... When I met her later, I felt that I could finally have a true love, I really wanted to grasp her and own her, as long as she could belong to me, I would die without regret."

"Mochi!" Mother Geng's voice trembled, "Don't you kill me for saying such things in front of me!"

Geng Mochi ignored his mother and continued: "So I will take her to France and never come back for the rest of my life. I won't give her any chance to leave me until I die... The most fragile moment of life is with the woman I like, and I will feel at ease when she sees me on the road." The cigarette butt in Geng Mochi's hand is getting darker and darker, and it will be extinguished at any time, just like his hope for himself, "Maybe I will do this It's cruel, but I don't care about it anymore, after I leave this world, I will give her back her freedom, but before that, she must be by my side."

"But what if she doesn't want to?"

"If you don't want to, you have to be willing. Even if you tie her in a sack, you have to tie her to Paris."

"I still think it's inappropriate for you to do this. Her parents know what to do, and you didn't ask for their opinions."

"I can't control so much for the time being, I will explain to her parents later, if I can live longer. In short, she can be free after I die..."
