Delayed confession

Chapter 42 We Are All Adults

Joey pouted and looked at Sun Kexia who was surrounded by people across from him, and said angrily,

"Why didn't anyone take the initiative to send us a coat, Xibao? It must be because you are too fierce. Look at Sun Kexia, she even had someone from another class send her a coat."

Xu Weixi followed her words and deliberately frowned, "Yeah, why didn't anyone send us clothes? It seems that there are still not enough homework left."

Joey rolled his eyes in anger, but suddenly he touched Xu Weixi's arm with shining eyes, "Xibao, you helped Gu Mochuan with his homework, will he be...grateful?"

Xu Weixi knew what Joey meant, but she looked at Gu Mochuan standing like a human signboard among the boys 10 meters away from them. No matter how Mu Guanyu next to him acted, he didn't take off his precious jacket. She shook her head.

"Not like."

Joey also saw the situation there, sighed, and said to himself,

"It's so cold, you'll catch a cold, right? Xibao, do you have any cold medicine with you?"

"I brought a box."

Joey nodded resignedly.

"enough."

Just when the three of them were discussing who in the class was definitely interested in whom, Gu Mochuan walked up to them without them noticing.

Joey shuddered subconsciously at the stern-looking Gu Mochuan, and tugged at the sleeve of the girl next to him.

"Yang Xue, I'm going to the bathroom, are you coming?"

"I go."

...

Xu Weixi looked at the two people who ran faster than rabbits and found it a little funny. Gu Mochuan wasn't that scary, right?

She raised her chin slightly and looked at the other person inquiringly, "What's the matter?"

"You didn't bring your coat?" The moment Gu Mochuan and Xu Weixi's eyes met, they quickly looked away, pretending to look elsewhere, and asked in a stiff tone.

Xu Weixi glanced in the direction of the instructor's dormitory, wondering why the instructor hadn't come yet, and answered absentmindedly, "I brought it."

"Why not wear it?"

"Yes, under the military training uniform."

"Are you still cold?"

Xu Weixi touched his nose, retracted his gaze, and looked at Gu Mochuan inquiringly, as if he wanted to understand whether he was mocking him by asking this question. He replied in a light tone,

"cold."

"Then put this one on first." Gu Mochuan seemed relieved and began to take off his windbreaker.

Xu Weixi quickly stopped him, "What are you wearing? Aren't you cold?"

"I have one more."

Xu Weixi thought about it for a moment, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she asked, "Did Sun Kexia borrow clothes from you just now?"

"…No, she asked me a physics question and I said I didn't know how to do it."

When Xu Weixi heard that it was about studying, he immediately became interested, "Which question? Tell me."

Gu Mochuan probably didn't expect that Xu Weixi would still be thinking about studying at this time. He paused for a few seconds and explained,

"…It's too cold now. I'll go back and write it down for you."

Xu Weixi nodded, looking at Gu Mochuan's bony hands, and suddenly remembered a description of a novel that Qiao Yi had told her before. She leaned back and saw Qiao Yi and Yang Xue coming back one after the other. She raised her head, put on a gentle smile, and asked,

"By the way, how many clothes did you bring?"

"what happened?"

"I'll borrow one for Joey."

Gu Mochuan paused while taking off his clothes, and took off the white fleece jacket underneath his military training uniform.

"Then let her wear this one, and you wear this one. I'll go back to the dormitory and get another one."

In the face of Xu Weixi's demanding eyes, Gu Mochuan quickly said,

"I only brought three."

Xu Weixi was wearing a white coat and felt that he had gone too far just now, so he handed him the jacket.

"Thank you. You can put it on first and bring it over to change."

"No, I'm not cold." After saying that, Gu Mochuan ran away.

Qiao Yi had clearly seen Gu Mochuan taking off his clothes for Xu Weixi, but she still deliberately asked,

"Xibao, whose clothes are they?"

"Gu Mochuan's."

"Ok?"

Xu Weixi stuffed the jacket into Joey's hands openly.

"I also borrowed one for you, how about it?"

"Then what is he wearing?" Joey took the jacket happily, thought about it, and felt that he should still be polite.

"He said he had another one in his dormitory and went back to get it."

Joey put on his jacket and turned around to keep warm. "Xibao, you must be nicer to Gu Mochuan in the future."

"Tell me everything, otherwise Yang Xue will misunderstand."

Xu Weixi glanced at her, turned around, took off her jacket and handed it to Yang Xue.

Yang Xue waved her hands awkwardly, "No, no."

"I'm saying that next time when you teach someone a question, be patient and don't always scold them."

After hearing Joey's explanation, Yang Xue put aside her doubts, gave him a thumbs up, and praised him.

"Wei Xi, it turns out that you are the boy who slays the dragon, oh no, the girl."

"Okay, the instructor is here."

"Assemble," a male instructor in his early twenties walked up to them and shouted commands.

"Everyone, look to the right... look forward, at ease, stand at attention... turn left and right, run."

……

Xu Weixi walked to the gate of the community while thinking. Just when he was about to turn around and walk back, a cold voice sounded.

"Xu Weixi."

The two people looked at each other across the community fence. Perhaps they were too pleasing to the eyes. Today was also the Chinese Valentine's Day. From this direction, Xu Weixi could clearly see the people in the security room, leaning against the window and looking at them.

She sighed and walked out.

"What a coincidence."

Gu Mochuan lowered his head, his dark pupils full of grievance, "I've been waiting here for three hours."

Xu Weixi looked away and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

“It’s my birthday today.”

"Happy birthday."

Gu Mochuan looked at the silent girl, thinking about what she was concerned about, and said pitifully,

"Can you spend my birthday with me? My parents are so busy that they don't even remember my birthday."

Gu Boyuan and Wen Jing, who were preparing for a birthday party at home, sneezed at the same time.

Xu Weixi looked at him suspiciously, wondering how could such a young master have no one to help him celebrate his birthday?

Gu Mochuan thought she was doubting the date. Although he hated celebrating birthdays, it seemed that this was the only reason he would not be rejected, so he quickly took out his wallet and handed over his ID card.

"Today is really my birthday, and this is my ID card."

"Well, can we have noodles?" Xu Weixi took a look and returned it to him. Thinking of a good ramen restaurant up ahead, she asked politely.

"Okay." Gu Mochuan nodded quickly and prepared to drive.

"Let's go, I know a pretty good ramen restaurant just up the road."

Gu Mochuan followed Xu Weixi's side, watching her hair blown by the wind and falling beside her cheek. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but speak.

"Xu Weixi, no matter what my father said or did, he can't represent me."

Xu Weixi stopped and looked at him with an expression of "as expected".

"You think too much. We are all adults, so we should solve the problem in an adult way."
