Chapter 504: 504, such an indifferent man
Back at the dormitory, the room next door was tightly shut.
Su Wenwen gave Mo Weiyi a call, only to be told she was studying in the reading room.
This girl had been studying like mad these past few days as if she’d been injected with chicken blood.
And she hadn’t seen Xiao Yebai come by either.
Although Su Wanwan was worried, Mo Weiyi kept silent, and as a friend, Su Wanwan didn’t feel right to keep asking.
…
Mo Weiyi returned as it was time for dinner.
Hearing movement next door, Su Wanwan quickly got up and asked, “Weiyi, are you going for dinner?”
“Yes.” Mo Weiyi put down her school bag, “Wanwan, remind me tomorrow morning to change the water for the turtles.”
“Got it.” Su Wanwan was speechless.
This girl could hardly even take care of herself and yet she was raising turtles in the dormitory.
And she was incredibly protective of these two little turtles, insisting that they were hibernating and needed their water changed regularly, the room temperature maintained, and even called Aunt Zhou regularly for advice.
All because these two little green turtles were a gift from that jerk Xiao Yebai!
Su Wanwan decided to let it be.
The exams were in a few days anyway, and after that, they would move back home. She really didn’t believe that Mo Weiyi could push it to divorce.
**
At seven in the evening, Chen Jin arrived for tutoring, and Su Wanwan went back to her own dormitory.
“Miss Mo, I’ll be heading back home tomorrow. Here are the key points I drew for you. You always forget these grammar rules and vocabulary. You must make sure to memorize them in the next few days, and these as well…”
Mo Weiyi nodded earnestly.
Although she had been studying hard, she had wasted two years, and trying to cram at the last minute was quite challenging.
But she still wanted to give it her best try.
If she had initially aimed for the top ten rankings in order to get pregnant and have a baby, now, it was for herself.
Ten years had passed.
In those ten years, she seemed to have been revolving around Xiao Yebai, forsaking her studies, lacking focus in life, only to eventually realize she was wasting her time.
Those scenes from their argument in the dormitory often replayed in her dreams.
She had slapped him, and the man stood at the door, his slender fingers caressing his cheek while he looked at her.
His eyes were pitch-black, deep, obscure, and difficult to decipher.
But she knew it. From their verbal argument in the office to their most recent quarrel, she had hurt him badly again.
Since that day, he had not come looking for her.
Neither had he called nor sent any messages.
Even when she called Aunt Zhou, Aunt Zhou would often mention him, but Mo Weiyi no longer wanted to listen.
They seemed like two trains heading in opposite directions, getting farther and farther apart.
“Start with these problems first.” Chen Jin’s voice sounded.
Mo Weiyi snapped back to reality, “Okay.”
Chen Jin sat for a while and then walked over to the table on the balcony.
She looked at the two hibernating small turtles in the blue water tank.
Once, when she was at the Lishui Bay Villa, she had asked Aunt Zhou out of curiosity whether Mo Weiyi actually liked to keep turtles?
After all, shouldn’t a girl like her rather prefer cute little cats and dogs?
At that time, Aunt Zhou had told her that Mr. Xiao had given these turtles as a wedding anniversary gift to the princess, and she had even named them Xiao Xiaobai and Xiao Baibai.
Xiao Xiaobai?
Xiao Baibai?
Chen Jin laughed.
Xiao Yebai actually let Mo Weiyi name the turtles after him?
Such a cold man, yet inside he had such a gentle side.
And obviously, Mo Weiyi was very fond of these two little turtles. After moving into the dormitory, she had even brought them along.
Chen Jin’s smile gradually faded, and there was something different in her eyes.
The room was very quiet, except for the occasional sound of Mo Weiyi working on her problems, Chen Jin could hear her own heartbeat.
“Throb,” “throb,” it was beating very fast.
She had recently looked up a lot of information about keeping turtles online and had come to understand why Xiao Yebai had given Mo Weiyi turtles.
Turtles were easy to keep, requiring a water change only once a week, feeding was not troublesome, they didn’t need much attention, and they hibernated for several months in winter. The owner didn’t have to worry at all.
She quickly glanced back.
Mo Weiyi was poring over the problems, her head bowed, her slightly curly fluffy hair draping over her cheeks, completely focused.
Chen Jin averted her gaze and subtly moved to the side to block the sight of the water tank, quickly taking out a small bottle from her pocket, unscrewing the lid, and pouring the liquid inside into the water.
Having done all this, her heart seemed to beat even faster, as if all her blood was surging to her brain.
After packing everything away, Chen Jin took a deep breath, “Miss Mo, I’m going to the balcony to make a call.”
“Okay.” Mo Weiyi was engrossed, oblivious to anything else.
**
It was nine o’clock in the evening.
After the lesson, Chen Jin said, “Miss Mo, all the classes are finished. I hope you get good grades in your exam tomorrow.”
“Thank you.” Mo Weiyi beamed at her, “If I need your help again in the future, I’ll call you. For your salary, Zhong Kai will settle it with you in a couple of days. If I do well in the exams, I’ll give you a big red envelope as a bonus.”
“Thank you, Miss Mo.” Chen Jin smiled brightly.
She packed her things and before leaving, glanced once more at the blue water tank.
If she remembered correctly, Mo Weiyi would be changing the water for the turtles in the next couple of days.
