Chapter 41 Brothers
"Nanxing sent your WeChat to my mom. Didn't my mom tell you anything she shouldn't have told you?"

Chen Mo saw the message sent by Xu Hongdou and realized that Xu Hongdou seemed to have forgotten that even if someone adds you through a business card, you can still see who shared your business card.

Is this a case of being too concerned?

Chen Mo pondered for a moment, his eyes turned, and he typed a reply:
"Don't worry, I understand."

Xu Hongdou next door was a little confused when she saw Chen Mo's message:

"What do you understand?"

Chen Mo replied:
"If you said it's Nanxing, then it's Nanxing. Don't be embarrassed."

Xu Hongdou frowned and quickly tapped the screen of her phone:

"What do you mean by if I say yes, it's Nanxing who pushed your WeChat to my mom."

Chen Mo: Okay.

Seeing Chen Mo's two short words, Xu Hongdou felt a little angry:
"One good is good, but two good means you don't trust me and you're just being perfunctory, right?"

Chen Mo looked at Xu Hongdou's reply and couldn't help laughing. He replied while holding back his laughter:
"You think too much."

Next door, Xu Hongdou took a deep breath, silently telling herself not to get angry, but her fingers tapped the screen harder and harder:

"What do you mean I think too much? I'm telling you not to think too much!"

Chen Mo: I didn’t think too much about it. My aunt and I are having a very happy chat now.

Xu Hongdou: What did you talk about?
Chen Mo: I can’t tell you that.

Xu Hongdou thought about it and sent a voice message to Liu Guiqin:

"Mom, why did you ask Nanxing for Chen Mo's WeChat? You didn't say anything nonsense to him, did you?"

Soon Liu Guiqin replied:

"Dou'er, don't worry. Mom and Xiao Mo had a good chat. Xiao Mo was also happy to chat with Mom. Don't worry."

You two both said that the conversation was going well, how can I feel at ease? Xu Hongdou looked helpless.

The better the conversation went, the more worried she became.

Xu Hongdou couldn't help but remind Liu Guiqin again:
"Mom, please don't tell anyone about me."

Liu Guiqin: "Don't worry, Dou'er, I understand everything. I only say what needs to be said. But I think Xiao Mo is an okay kid. You can try to get in touch with him. I support you."

Xu Hongdou felt tired when she heard Liu Guiqin's words. How come you understand it too? What do you understand? Can you let me understand it too?
Immediately afterwards, Liu Guiqin sent another voice message, but the voice coming from the phone was Xu Jianguo's:
"Dou'er, don't listen to your mom. Dad heard that you two have known each other for less than a month, right? Let's get to know each other better. Don't be anxious."

I could still vaguely hear Liu Guiqin's voice next to me: "What do you mean don't listen to me? She's my daughter."

Xu Hongdou sighed and replied:
"Mom and Dad, I know my own business, so please don't interfere."

After sending the message, Xu Hongdou sent another message to Chen Mo:
"Don't ask about my family's situation!"

Chen Mo: I didn’t ask about your family situation. I just talked to your aunt about you.

Xu Hongdou: You can’t talk to me. If you have anything to say, just ask me directly.

Chen Mo: Wow, you are so domineering.

Xu Hongdou: Is it not possible?
Xu Hongdou: It’s not too late to retreat when you know it’s difficult.

Chen Mo: What a coincidence! I like to face challenges head-on.

Chen Mo: So, what do you want to eat tomorrow?
Xu Hongdou: Whatever.

Chen Mo:.
Chen Mo: Do ​​you know that the most difficult thing to arrange is to be casual?

Chen Mo: How about braised spare ribs and steamed sea bass?
Xu Hongdou: Both are fine.

Chen Mo:.
Chen Mo: Who told me to ask him directly just now?

Chen Mo: Miss Xu Hongdou, given your negative attitude, I can only go and ask your aunt.

Xu Hongdou: Are you threatening me?

Xu Hongdou stared at the phone screen and squinted.

Chen Mo: I don’t.

Chen Mo paused for a moment, and then replied in a mean way:
"But it's okay if you understand it that way."

Xu Hongdou next door clenched her fists. She had been holding a grudge since just now.

When Chen Mo asked her to pick him up from get off work, she agreed. When he asked her to have dinner together, she also agreed. Now she is even more outrageous and is acting like a mother-in-law.

Just as Chen Nanxing said, Chen Mo quietly wove a web, and she fell into it unknowingly following his rhythm.

Xu Hongdou: Open the door, I will tell you in person what I like to eat.

Chen Mo: Can’t I just say it on the phone?

Xu Hongdou: Typing is too troublesome.

Chen Mo: You can send voice messages or make phone calls.

Xu Hongdou: I’m afraid I can’t explain it clearly, so it’s better to say it in person.

Chen Mo: We can still have a video chat, how can you not explain it clearly?

Xu Hongdou: We are so close, why should we waste this traffic?
Chen Mo: I have WiFi at home, I can connect you there.

Xu Hongdou was impatient. She felt that she would not be able to sleep unless she vented her anger tonight.

Xu Hongdou: Open the door, I'm at your door.

Chen Mo was a little surprised. He looked through the peephole at the door and found it was true.

However, Chen Mo didn't dare to open the door. Looking at Xu Hongdou's attitude, he probably wanted to make up for the kick he missed just now.

Chen Mo: Ah? But it’s so late, isn’t it bad?

When Xu Hongdou saw this message, she gnashed her teeth and asked, "Are you pretending to be Tang Monk in front of me now?!"

Why didn't you mention the difference between men and women when you asked me out for dinner just now?!
Xu Hongdou: How could that be? It’s just past nine o’clock.

Xu Hongdou: Didn’t we just have dinner together?

Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh. He could imagine that Xu Hongdou was probably feeling furious.

Chen Mo: It was just now. I am not available now.

Through the door, Xu Hongdou vaguely heard Chen Mo's laughter.

Xu Hongdou: Open the door, I hear your voice.

Xu Hongdou didn't knock on the door or shout directly, for fear of disturbing other neighbors.

Chen Mo didn't dare to go too far, for fear of really making Xu Hongdou angry, otherwise it would be counterproductive.

In the end, you still have to coax her by yourself, which makes things more difficult for yourself.

Chen Mo: I'll open the door, but please don't touch me.

Chen Mo: I don’t have a girlfriend yet.

Xu Hongdou knew that Chen Mo could see her behind the door, so she tried hard to force a smile.

Xu Hongdou: Don’t worry, if you can’t find a girlfriend in the future, I will compensate you with one.

When Chen Mo heard this, he immediately opened the door and said, "That's great. I don't have high requirements. I'll just do what you want."

Before Chen Mo could finish his words, he was hit on the front bone of his left calf by a kick.

"Hiss~~I."

Chen Mo subconsciously held his left calf with both hands and rubbed it, while his right foot stood in a one-legged stance.

"You don't talk about martial arts."

Without waiting for Chen Mo to finish speaking, Xu Hongdou stepped on the instep of Chen Mo's right foot again.

Chen Mo staggered back, holding onto the shoe cabinet at the entrance and sitting on a small stool to change shoes.

"A sneak attack, what kind of hero are you?" Chen Mo said.

Xu Hongdou lowered her hands to her chest, made a movement to sink her qi into her dantian, and exhaled a breath of turbid air, which finally made her breathe smoothly.

Sure enough, venting cannot solve the problem, but at least it can make you feel better.

"Are the people in Shandong so tough?" Chen Mo said with a grin.

"Sure. You even found out where I'm from." Xu Hongdou glanced at Chen Mo.

"Isn't this just a casual chat with Auntie about family matters?" Chen Mo felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm not going to eat anymore. Just eat your own food." Xu Hongdou said this and turned back.

"Hey, didn't we agree on this? Why are you going back on your word?" Chen Mo shouted.

"Did I agree?"

Xu Hongdou just stepped into the door and leaned back, only showing her head and saying this, and then slammed the door of 1101. "This..." Chen Mo was a little dumbfounded.

But thinking about it carefully, Xu Hongdou did not actually agree to it.

It’s just that when Chen Mo said it before, Xu Hongdou didn’t refuse, so normally in this situation it would be assumed that she agreed.

But do you still play like this now?

Chen Mo stood up to close the door in annoyance. He had gotten too carried away by his success and ended up in tragedy.

"I still can't be too hasty." Chen Mo reflected on himself.

Originally, he wanted to pick up Xu Hongdou after get off work so that the two of them would have the opportunity to meet and interact with each other every day.

In the car, the two of them can chat, share their lives, and gradually increase their understanding of each other.

As for the matter of having dinner together, he was just trying his best.

But he didn't expect that there was a power outage at that moment, and Liu Guiqin happened to call Xu Hongdou. With the right time and place, how could Chen Mo give up such a great opportunity.

So Chen Mo instinctively wanted to create some harmony with others, at least to become familiar to Xu Hongdou's family.

Unexpectedly, Chen Nanxing came with an assist, connecting him with Liu Guiqin.

Everything went too smoothly, so after Xu Hongdou came to her senses, she felt a little sudden and uncomfortable.

"Take it step by step, there's no need to rush. The advantage is mine." Chen Mo murmured.

At least Chen Mo realized one thing from the communication with Liu Guiqin: Xu Hongdou had never brought a boy home or introduced him to her family.

Then there is no need to worry too much about the love rival.

After all, Xu Hongdou is so beautiful, and Chen Mo had anticipated that she would have a love rival.

But now he is familiar with Chen Nanxing and has met Liu Guiqin, and Xu Hongdou lives next door to him. He is already far ahead in this progress.

"But fortunately, she didn't refuse me to pick her up after get off work."

Thinking of this, Chen Mo became happy again. At least the main goal for today was achieved, and he also unexpectedly added Xu Hongdou’s mother on WeChat.

Chen Mo stomped his slightly numb left foot.

The kick from Xu Hongdou didn't hurt very much, because both of them were wearing soft-soled indoor slippers that covered the front of their feet, but the kick still had some force.

"It's a good thing she's not wearing high heels, this Shandong girl." Chen Mo couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

This straightforward and unpretentious personality is quite good.

The next morning, Chen Mo went out at normal working hours, and then stood downstairs in the community for a while.

Today, the sun slipped out of the clouds, shining through the branches, and a few sparrows chirped and played in the trees. The streets in the early morning were still covered with a thin mist.
Seeing this scene, Chen Mo couldn't help but take a deep breath
“Cough~~Cough~~”

Well, the air in the capital is not really good.

If we compare the emissions from car exhaust, we can be the best in the country.

Chen Mo waited downstairs for a while, but Xu Hongdou didn't show up.

It’s so early.

In fact, only Chen Mo felt that he had gotten up earlier than usual, but it was actually not early at this time.

The road is full of busy traffic and hurried office workers. It is now the rush hour.

Chen Mo checked his phone. At this time, if he left their community to go to the Waldorf Hotel, he would definitely be late.

It seems that Xu Hongdou's working hours at the hotel will be even earlier. Chen Mo feels that he should find a chance to ask someone and not just wait there foolishly.

Who to ask?
Asking the person himself is definitely the most direct, but also the stupidest.

Ask Nanxing? She must know.

But then Xu Hongdou would know.

Chen Mo was not sure that he could persuade Chen Nanxing to rebel.

I should ask someone about it, Chen Mo thought.

It wouldn't be difficult to ask someone to find out the working hours of the Waldorf Astoria staff.

But there is no need to rush. Learn from yesterday's lesson and stabilize the pick-up and drop-off service first.

As long as Xu Hongdou gets used to it, sending her to work will become natural.

At that time, find an opportunity, and for both of them to go out at the same time and "run into" each other unexpectedly, that would be a natural thing.

After Chen Mo made his plans, he decided to have breakfast first.

As for going to work, who would go to work on time if nothing goes wrong?

If I go to work on time, wouldn't it be a waste to run this company at home?

Driving past the nearby subway entrance, Chen Mo remembered that this was where he first met Xu Hongdou.

Crowds of people are crowding towards the subway entrance. The subway entrance is like a bloody mouth that swallows people who are full of energy and vitality in the early morning, and spits out people who are exhausted and tired in the evening.

People in big cities are like wound-up springs and can't stop for a moment.

Chen Mo also saw a promotional advertisement for "Star of Tomorrow" on the road, and the registration for the auditions had already begun.

Floating Cloud Entertainment.

As soon as Chen Mo entered the company, he saw Jiang Congwen.

"Huh? Why did you come to the company today?" Chen Mo asked.

"Didn't Director Zhang ask me to release an album before? I'm still short of three songs. The company has collected some songs recently and asked me to listen to see if there are any suitable ones." Jiang Congwen said.

Chen Mo then remembered that Jiang Congwen was going to release an album. He seemed to have promised Jiang Congwen to write a sweet song for him?

Hmm. When did this happen?

Chen Mo said calmly: "I'm also thinking about writing a song for you."

"How is it?" Jiang Congwen asked expectantly.

"Oh, no, I haven't had any inspiration lately." Chen Mo shook his head and sighed.

"I don't know why, but when I write sad love songs for you, they flow smoothly one after another."

"But the thought of writing a sweet song for you just doesn't sit right."

"." Jiang Congwen.

Could it be that he has some kind of insulating constitution?
"It doesn't have to be sweet songs, just ten songs will be fine." Jiang Congwen said helplessly.

"Don't worry, I've been thinking hard about it for several days and nights, and I will definitely write a song for you." Chen Mo patted his chest and promised.

"Several days and nights? Didn't we just talk about this on Valentine's Day, or the day before yesterday?" Jiang Congwen blinked.

"Really?" Chen Mo also blinked, then frowned and said, "Maybe I've been thinking about writing songs for you these past two days, day and night, so it feels like a long time has passed."

"You wouldn't have forgotten about this at all, right?" Jiang Congwen looked at Chen Mo suspiciously.

"How is this possible!" Chen Mo said loudly.

"I stayed in the company until the end of the day yesterday to write a song for you. If you don't believe me, you can ask Senior Brother Zhang."

Jiang Congwen saw that Chen Mo's story was very convincing, with the time, place and witnesses, so he believed it.

"I worked day and night to write a song for you, and you actually doubt me?!" Chen Mo asked.

"No, no, I just want to check on you. You seem so tired that you can't even remember the days." Jiang Congwen waved his hands quickly, "I'm not in a hurry for my album. You should take a rest. The company is also collecting songs for me."

"And I know there are many people in the company who want to invite you to sing songs."

"It's okay. I just wrote a few songs for you? Not even an album." Chen Mo waved his hand and said with a slightly tired voice.

"This is your first album, brother, I will personally produce it for you no matter what."

"Everyone else has to step back and wait until you're good enough to release an album."

When Jiang Congwen heard this, he couldn't help feeling moved.

"Old Chen" Jiang Congwen seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Old Jiang, let's not talk about this." Chen Mo patted Jiang Congwen on the shoulder.

"I shouldn't have threatened you with the chat screenshots of you talking about Sister Nan." Jiang Congwen said a little embarrassedly.

Chen Mo couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he heard this, but he quickly said calmly: "It's okay, just delete it."

"What are you talking about me? What was deleted?" Lin Nanxi's voice suddenly came.

"Chen Mo, I just said last night that you rarely get off work on time, but today you are late again." Zhang Yundong's teasing voice followed closely.

"."Chen Mo.
