An Impossible to Reject Confession - Chapter 23
…
The sixteenth of the first month.
The ancient town in early spring was still a little cool. The young man seemed to be in a very good mood, his eyes were bright, his steps were brisk, and he walked straight into a pottery museum.
“Welcome, please visit, and call me if you like it.” Ms. Ji was sorting out the decorations on the shelf. When she heard someone entering the door, she just glanced at it casually and continued to organize the shelves. .
“Aunt Ji.” Qiao Mu shouted with a smile.
Ms. Ji was stunned, looked at the guest who entered the door again, and then her eyes widened a little: “Qiaomu?”
“It’s me.” Qiao Mu walked over with a smile and put the two boxes in his arms in front of Ms. Ji, “This is a special product I brought from Haishi, and my grandmother asked me to give it to her. You can send some. Also, my grandmother said she has to clean up the house in the past two days, so she won’t come to draw pictures. “
Ms. Ji always knew that Qiao Mu’s facial features were beautiful, and she also told her daughter that Qiao Mu would become a beautiful boy if she lost weight, but until now, she realized that she still underestimated Qiao Mu’s “beauty”. Look at these eyes, without the pile of fat on the face, how smooth the lines are, it is simply the best painter carefully crafted.
“I lost some weight during the winter vacation.” Qiao Mu explained.
“Where are you losing weight? It’s like a different person. It seems that you have grown taller.” When she first saw Qiao Mu, she could still look up, but now she has to look up.
“It grew by another three centimeters during the winter vacation.” At the end of last semester, Qiaomu was already close to 175 centimeters.
“You are growing too fast, and it is estimated that you will continue to grow according to your momentum.”
“Hope it.” He still wants to grow to more than 180 cm, Qiao Mu said, and looked in the store, “Isn’t Yuyou in the store?”
“I’m having breakfast at the wonton shop in the east gate.” Ms. Ji said.
“It’s almost eleven o’clock, so I only have breakfast now.” Qiao Mu frowned.
.”
“No, I haven’t had breakfast. I’ll go to the east gate to find Youyou.” Qiao Mu rubbed his hands nervously.
“Okay, go ahead.”
“Goodbye Aunt Ji.” After that, Qiao Mu turned around and went to the east gate.
Ji Leyao looked at the young man’s back in a hurry, and shook his head a little funny: “I also said that you had breakfast late, and I didn’t eat it myself.”
Qiao Mu walked to the East Street entrance, while walking, imagining the scene when she saw Xu Youyou. Lu Shi said that Xu Youyou would definitely not recognize him in his current state. Before coming, he also gave him an idea.
Lu Shi: “You see Xu Youyou in a while, if she doesn’t recognize you, you pretend to strike up a conversation to ask for a phone number and WeChat. If you are there, it proves that you are her dishes.”
Qiaomu: “What if you don’t want to arrive?”
Lu Shi: “If you don’t want to arrive, there is nothing to lose. With your current appearance, no matter what, you will get extra points.”
Qiao Mu hesitated as he walked, whether or not he should approach Xu Youyou, but he didn’t make up his mind until he walked outside Chaos Store. In the store, Xu Youyou had just finished eating and was checking out.
“Boss, how much.”
“Fifteen dollars.”
Qiao Mu was standing in front of the store, and Xu Youyou could see him when he turned around after paying the bill.
Why don’t you try it?
Xu Youyou had already paid the money, turned around and walked towards the door.
Qiao Mu clenched her fists, took a deep breath, took a step forward, and was about to open her mouth when she heard Xu Youyou call out to Qiao Mu with great precision.
Qiao Mu opened his mouth and stood still, unable to say a word of the lines he had prepared for a long time.
“Why is your face so red? You ran over?” Xu Youyou asked.
“Ah? Hmm.” Qiao Mu quietly observed Xu Youyou’s expression. Xu Youyou was surprised when he saw him, but he was not unfamiliar. He almost blurted out his name. .
She recognized herself at a glance.
“Why did you lose so much weight? What did you do this winter vacation?” After a winter vacation, the little fat man lost weight and turned into a beautiful teenager. If it wasn’t for deliberate weight loss, something must have happened. Thinking of Qiaomu’s insomnia in the first few days of the winter vacation, Xu Youyou was worried that something had happened to Qiaomu.
“Are you sick?” Xu Youyou became nervous.
“No.” Qiao Mu shook his head.
“Then you lost weight?” Xu Youyou jokingly mentioned that Qiaomu would lose weight several times, but that was also the beginning. At that time, she saw that Qiao Mu could not overlap with the Qiao Mu in her memory, and she was not used to it, so she wanted Qiao Mu to lose weight. But after getting along for a long time, Xu Youyou didn’t mention it much.
When the arbor is still growing in height, if it loses nutrition due to weight loss and becomes shorter, it will not be worth the loss. After all, you can lose fat at any time, but you can’t grow taller if you want.
In order to participate in the Go game before, Qiaomu did not completely stop taking medicine. During this time in the sea market, he excused to accompany Lu Shi in filming, and forcibly stopped the medicine without being discovered by his grandmother. Although it was a little uncomfortable at first half a month, but finally survived.
In that half month, Xu Youyou was the one who encouraged him the most, although every time she called, she asked him to help solve the problem.
So I lost weight? Could it be that Qiao Mu was so thin in his last life? Seeing that Qiao Mu’s eyes were clear and his words were full of energy, and he didn’t look like he was sick, Xu Youyou accepted this excuse.
The two came out of the wonton shop, walked back together, and as they walked, Qiaomu asked casually: “Lu Shi also said, you must not recognize me when you see me now. As a result, You recognized it right away.”
“Although you have lost weight, your facial features are still the same.” Xu Youyou replied with a little guilty conscience.
If she hadn’t been reborn, and had known Qiao Mu in her last life, she certainly wouldn’t have been able to recognize her just now. But the trees that have lost weight are 80% similar to the trees of the previous life. Compared with the previous little fat brother, the current Qiaomu is the young Qiaomu in her cognition.
Qiao Mu returned from the pottery museum, Lu Shi was running on the front line of eating melons, and Qiao Mu hadn’t sat down yet, so he moved up excitedly.
“How, how, did you strike up a conversation? Did it succeed?”
“No, she recognized her at a glance.” Qiao Mu was actually a little disappointed, and he finally made up his mind to strike up a conversation.
“No, you’ve changed so much, I wouldn’t have recognized it if I hadn’t watched you lose weight day by day.” Lu Shi was amazed, “Then how did she react to seeing you lose weight? Is it amazing, praising you for being handsome or something?”
Lu Shi didn’t ask, but when he asked Qiao Mu, he was even more depressed, because Xu Youyou never expressed any opinion on his appearance from beginning to end. As if it made no difference whether he was fat or thin.
“No response.” Qiao Mu shook his head.
“No reaction at all?” Lu Shi didn’t give up.
“Ask me if I’m sick to lose weight.”
“I recognized you who lost dozens of pounds at a glance, thought you were sick…” Lu Shi thought for a while, then his eyes lit up, and he patted Qiao Mu’s shoulder fiercely. “True love.”
“What?”
“Isn’t there such a sentence on the Internet? Others only care about whether you are handsome or not, but I only care about your health.” Lu Shi said.
“That’s not what I said.”
“It doesn’t matter whether it is this sentence or not, it means the same thing anyway. Only those who really care about you will not pay attention to your appearance, but only pay attention to your health. Xu Youyou, she cares about you , and I am very concerned.” In order to increase his persuasive power, Lu Shi did not hesitate to use himself as a comparison, “Look, I am your cousin, and I only care about whether you are thin or not throughout the winter vacation?”
“…Thank you, you are really my cousin.” Qiao Mu was speechless.
“Cough, it’s not that I don’t care at all. I observe your mental state every day. I think your mental state is always good, so I didn’t ask.” Lu Shi looked for it and added.
Every time I take medicine, the doctor will advise Qiaomu to take it as little as possible. That’s why Lu Shi was so firm in supporting Qiaomu to stop taking medicine and lose weight, and then judge his condition through Qiaomu’s mental state every day.
After Lu Shi explained, seeing Qiao Mu bowing his head and ignoring him, thinking Qiao Mu was angry, he hurriedly continued to explain: “Really, I didn’t lie to you. If you don’t believe me, ask my parents, I said hello to them, and before I went to the sea market, I secretly hid a bottle of your medicine, preparing that if you were in a bad mood, I would take it for you.”
“Are you telling the truth?” Qiao Mu looked at Lu Shi.
“Of course it’s true.” Lu Shi nodded heavily, “If you don’t believe me, I’ll call my mother now and ask her…”
“So Xu Youyou can recognize me at a glance and really care about me.” Qiao Mu said.
“…” Lu Shi held the mobile phone and couldn’t respond for a long time, until the confused voice of Lu’s mother came from the other end of the phone.
“Hours? Hello? Why don’t you speak?”
She cares about you very much, grandma sees that you are losing weight so fast, and she is worried that your body will not be able to bear it, so she cares about you the same as grandma.”
Qiao Mu smiled and turned to Lu Shi: “Have you ever been in love?”
“…” Lu Shi choked.
