Chapter 128 Taste
At night, Chen Mo was video chatting with Xu Hongdou in the room.

"How was it? Did you encounter any trouble at the construction site today?" Chen Mo asked with concern.

"It's okay. Small troubles and incidents are definitely inevitable, but I can handle them, don't worry." Xu Hongdou had just finished taking a shower and was wiping her wet hair in her pajamas.

Even if you keep an eye on the construction and decoration process throughout, you can only avoid major problems, but minor problems are inevitable.

Even the size, color and pattern of a single tile may be mixed up by the manufacturer and sent incorrectly, not to mention other things.

"Be careful about safety at the construction site and don't overwork yourself." Chen Mo warned.

This was Xu Hongdou’s first time starting a business, and she was worried about everything and wanted to take charge of everything herself.

"I know. Nanxing and I will take turns watching. It's not tiring." Xu Hongdou smiled softly, "It's just that no one helped me blow dry my hair after taking a shower, so my hands are a little sore."

"Wait, I'll fly over right now." Chen Mo pretended to stand up.

"By the time you fly over, my hair will be dry without me having to wipe it." Xu Hongdou snorted.

"When it's done, I'll help you wash it again."

After saying that, Chen Mo added, "Well, let's wash together."

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes and said, "I just think about this every day."

Chen Mo lay back on the bed and sighed, "I can't sleep alone."

"Then just use one more pillow." Xu Hongdou was unmoved by Chen Mo's pitiful behavior.

Chen Mo's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he sat up, "Then I'll go get your pillow from your room, so we can sleep in the same bed together."

During the days that Xu Hongdou stayed at Chen Mo's house, they slept in separate rooms.

Fang Shuyun also asked Xu Hongdou to come and live at her house when she came to BJ in the future, and that room was reserved exclusively for Xu Hongdou.

"No, it would be so embarrassing if your aunt found out." Xu Hongdou quickly stopped her.

"It's okay, I don't care. I'm thick-skinned." Chen Mo took his phone and walked out of the room while video chatting with Xu Hongdou.

"I care." Xu Hongdou said anxiously as she watched Chen Mozhen go to the room where she slept.

Xu Hongdou felt embarrassed at the thought of Fang Shuyun finding out how "sticky" they were and having to sleep with their pillows on the same bed.

"Come back soon and don't take it." Xu Hongdou shouted on the phone screen.

Chen Mo walked without stopping and soon came to the room where Xu Hongdou lived a few days ago, "Hey, let me see..."

Before Chen Mo could finish his words, he ran into Fang Shuyun coming out of the room.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Chen Mo was stunned.

"The weather was nice during the day, so I took Hongdou's quilt to the balcony to dry it. I just brought it back and cleaned the room while I was there."

"What about you? What are you doing here?" Fang Shuyun asked curiously.

Xu Hongdou on the other end of the video covered her face when she heard Fang Shuyun's voice. She had just thought about it when it happened.

Chen Mo blinked and said, "Oh, Hongdou can't find something. Let me see if I left it in the room."

"Look, we're video chatting." Chen Mo turned his phone screen to show Fang Shuyun.

"Auntie." Xu Hongdou smiled and waved, greeting her.

"Red Bean." Fang Shuyun also smiled, "What did you drop? Auntie will help you find it."

Xu Hongdou's mind raced, and she smiled naturally, "It's nothing, Auntie, just a pair of earrings."

"I don't know which bag I put it in and couldn't find it, or I left it behind and didn't bring it with me. Just let Chen Mo take a look for me."

Fang Shuyun nodded, without questioning, "I see, I didn't see it on the floor when Auntie was cleaning."

Chen Mo was laughing secretly on the side. He was worthy of being the lobby manager of a five-star hotel. Oh, no, the deputy director of the housekeeping department. His on-the-spot reaction was so smooth.

"Let me see if it's in the closet or under the bed." Chen Mo pretended to search the room and shook his head. "No, see if it fell into your suitcase."

Xu Hongdou was on the screen at this time, staring at Chen Mo and saying, "Oh, okay, maybe it got mixed up with the clothes and I didn't see it. I'll look for it later."

Seeing this, Chen Mo smiled mischievously and suddenly pointed his phone screen at Fang Shuyun, "Do you want to say anything else to my mother?"

Xu Hongdou was a little caught off guard, but she immediately smiled and chatted with Fang Shuyun for a while.

When Chen Mo returned to the room with his phone, Xu Hongdou's angry voice immediately came from the screen: "Chen Mo!"

"What's wrong?" Chen Mo blinked "innocently".

"You're still pretending, aren't you?" Xu Hongdou became even more angry upon seeing this.

He made her lie and act, and teased her, causing her to almost make a fool of herself in front of Fang Shuyun, and now she is pretending to be innocent.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Chen Mo quickly said a few words to comfort her, then changed the subject and said with a playful smile, "It's useless to be angry. You can't hit me through the Internet cable."

Looking at Chen Mo's shameless appearance, Xu Hongdou gnashed her teeth and said, "Just wait. When you come over, I'll tell you that you are dead."

"All reactionaries are paper tigers." Chen Mo is righteous and fearless, jumping back and forth on the brink of life and death.

"Okay, okay, okay." Xu Hongdou said "Okay" three times in a row and then hung up the video call angrily.

After hanging up the video, Xu Hongdou's chest heaved for a while.

Thousands of miles away from each other, her boyfriend was being mean and irritating her, and she really had no idea what to do and felt helpless.

Is it possible that we can only wait for that guy to come over here and then settle the score?
No!

Xu Hongdou became more and more angry the more she thought about it. She had to endure the ovarian cyst for a while, but had to take a step back to deal with the breast hyperplasia.

Anger also has a time limit, and revenge cannot be left overnight, otherwise the emotional gains you make will be greatly reduced.

The greatest pleasure comes from being released at the peak of your anger.

Xu Hongdou's eyes rolled and she immediately had an idea.

As for Chen Mo, after teasing Xu Hongdou, Chen Mo just thought it was fun and didn't take it to heart.

"dong dong~~"

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Mo stood up and opened the door, he saw a shadow flash before his eyes, followed by a whistling sound that broke through the air.

"Hiss~ Mom, why are you hitting me?" Chen Mo jumped up and down when he was suddenly hit by a feather duster.

"Don't you know why I hit you?" Fang Shuyun held the feather duster upside down and used the handshake end to hit Chen Mo's thighs and buttocks.

"What should I think? Wasn't I fine just now?" Chen Mo was confused and quickly jumped to avoid it.

"Mom, let's talk it over. I'm already a grown-up, why are you still holding this thing?"

"What's wrong with being older? You're still my son! Don't even mention you're thirty, even if you're sixty, as long as I'm still alive and can hold a cane, I'll still beat you." Fang Shuyun said, waving a feather duster. "Look at you, the things are gone, Hongdou didn't do it on purpose, but you made Hongdou cry over this little thing."

"Stop, stop, stop." Chen Mo yelled and jumped onto the bed, signaling with his hand.

"What did Anko tell you? Why are you still crying?"

"You're still asking me?" Fang Shuyun glared, "Didn't Hongdou lose the earrings you gave her on our anniversary? Did you make her cry by giving her a stern look?"

"I" Chen Mo immediately understood what was going on and estimated that it was Xu Hongdou's revenge by reporting the case.

"What do you mean?" Fang Shuyun interrupted, "If the things are lost, we can just buy them again. It's not a big deal. We don't need this little money."

"I'm telling you, if you bully Hongdou again, I won't forgive you." Fang Shuyun warned.

"I, I understand." Chen Mo was now like a dumb person eating coptis chinensis, swallowing the bitterness, unable to explain.

After Chen Mo repeatedly assured her that he would coax Xu Hongdou, Fang Shuyun left with satisfaction.

Chen Mo closed the door, took out his cell phone, and sent a video invitation to Xu Hongdou.

"Beep——" The call was hung up after just two beeps.

Chen Mo had no choice but to send a package of emoticons of "raising the white flag" and "kneeling" to express his intention, and then made another video call.

This time it was connected.

"What?" Xu Hongdou glanced at him lightly, her crystal-clear face full of coldness.

"I was wrong." Chen Mo clasped his hands together and begged for mercy.

"What have you done wrong?" Xu Hongdou looked "confused". "Even if you did something wrong, I can't beat you up through the Internet, right?"

"No, you can." Chen Mo shook his head.

"Huh?" Xu Hongdou asked puzzledly.

"My mother just came with a feather duster to help you vent your anger." Chen Mo explained what had just happened.

Xu Hongdou was surprised at first, then smiled and said, "Auntie is so amazing."

"Thanks to you, I was able to relive the fear of my childhood." Chen Mo's eyes were full of resentment.

"Haha, you're welcome." Xu Hongdou smiled happily.

"My mother also said that you cried?" Chen Mo asked.

Xu Hongdou reached out and took out an onion from the side and shook it, "I just got it from the kitchen."

Chen Mo gave a thumbs up, convinced.

"Let's see if you dare to act like a bitch again next time." Xu Hongdou snorted.

With the nuclear support of Fang Shuyun, Xu Hongdou is confident that he can carry out precise strikes at long distances and no longer has to worry about being out of reach.

Chen Mo also realized this, and immediately said with great sorrow: "In fact, as soon as the video ended, I regretted it. I really shouldn't have been so naughty with you."

“I have done deep reflection on this.”

"Haha." Xu Hongdou didn't believe it at all. "You must have been very happy just now, right? It's rare that I let you stay so far away, so you can show off as much as you want."

"That's impossible." Chen Mo denied immediately, "Ever since I sent you to the airport, I can't help but think of you. Even when I accidentally meet someone on the road, I think he looks like you."

Xu Hongdou curled her lips, obviously not believing these exaggerated statements.

"The explanation in words is too pale. Please allow me to sing a song to express my true feelings." Chen Mo leaned forward and bowed.

Xu Hongdou raised her eyelids and waved her hand: "Approved."

Chen Mo coughed twice and sang with deep affection:

[I thought I could be sad less often, I thought I could live a good life, but who knew that when I think of you, I miss you so much that there is no cure and no escape]

[I miss your smile, your coat, your white socks and the smell of your body]

"Eh~~" It sounded fine at first, but when she heard "white socks", Xu Hongdou couldn't help but reveal a look of "disdain".

Before they were together, Xu Hongdou noticed that Chen Mo's eyes would often linger on her legs.

After they were together, Xu Hongdou discovered that Chen Mo might indeed have a preference for her legs. He liked to sleep with his head resting on her thighs, and often lingered on "ravaging" her when giving her a massage.

It’s nothing, Xu Hongdou can accept it. Sometimes, when she sees Chen Mo being “obsessed” with her body, she actually feels a little secretly happy.

But Xu Hongdou didn't expect that Chen Mo actually had a special liking for socks and even wrote about it in the song.

【I miss your kiss.】

Chen Mo stopped singing halfway when he saw Xu Hongdou's expression and asked, "What's wrong? Is it not good to listen to?"

“It sounds nice, but you…” Xu Hongdou didn’t know what to say. Forget it, at most if she sees it in the future, she will just pretend she didn’t see it.

"What?" Chen Mo was puzzled.

Xu Hongdou thought about it and reminded: "Socks are very dirty and have fungi. It is easy to get lung infections if you smell them often."

"What the hell is going on?" Chen Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I don't have this habit."

"What about what you wrote?" Xu Hongdou still had some doubts, thinking that Chen Mo was embarrassed to admit it.

"The inspiration for this song is not me. If you listen further you will know that this song was written from a female perspective," Chen Mo explained.

"It's just that there are common feelings between men and women, and I think the lyrics are quite appropriate, so I sang it for you."

"Oh, so that's the case." Xu Hongdou breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.

Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't you know what I like?"

Xu Hongdou said seriously: "I know it, that's why I'm worried that your preference might get worse and develop into a habit."

"." Chen Mo, "Don't your white legs smell good in front of me? Why would I be interested in socks?"

"Besides, if I was really interested, it would be black stockings, not white socks."

"Look, you are really smelling it." Hearing Chen Mo's words, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but shrink her feet.

"No, the 'fragrant' I mentioned is a comparative quantifier, not a word to describe the taste." Chen Mo felt tired.

"Don't worry, I don't have a foot fetish."

"Oh, it's okay. I understand."

Xu Hongdou waved her hands, showing great understanding, and finally reminded him again, "There are indeed more fungi on the feet, and they are prone to infection."

"I really didn't!" Chen Mo shouted at the top of his lungs.
