Chapter 6: Face-to-face group building

Xu Hongdou was keenly aware of Chen Mo's gaze.

Sometimes women are actually very sensitive to the gazes of the opposite sex.

Xu Hongdou frowned slightly, and subconsciously distanced herself from Chen Mo. She looked at Chen Mo with some disgust, but found that Chen Mo's eyes were dull and unfocused.

"Hey, Chen Mo, what are you daydreaming about?" Jiang Congwen saw Chen Mo's impertinent behavior behind him and Xu Hongdou's somewhat distant movements on Chen Nanxing's mobile phone screen, so he quickly turned around and reminded him.

Brother, I know you are feeling amorous, but you can't stare at the girl so closely.

If someone slaps you in the face later, you won't have anywhere to complain.

Chen Mo's thoughts were interrupted by Jiang Congwen's sudden voice, and the melody in his ears disappeared.

"Huh?!" Chen Mo frowned subconsciously.

Chen Mo came back to his senses and found that everyone's eyes were focused on him.

He was indeed attracted by the sudden fragrance and stunned by the charming face. He was distracted for a moment. In short, he was mesmerized.

Then the sudden melody rang in his ears again, making him subconsciously concentrate his attention to listen and remember.

So from the perspective of Jiang Congwen and Chen Nanxing, Chen Mo was staring at Xu Hongdou like an infatuated maniac.

Only Xu Hongdou, as the object of attention, felt the difference between the before and after.

Chen Mo saw that Xu Hongdou's ears were a little red and she was looking at him with a strange look, while Chen Nanxing and Jiang Congwen in front of him also turned around and looked at him with a little surprise. Chen Mo then realized that his rash behavior just now was a little impolite and seemed to have caused quite a bit of misunderstanding.

"What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed." Jiang Congwen asked, breaking the briefly awkward and weird atmosphere.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it." Chen Mo first said hurriedly to Xu Hongdou. He also knew that it was Jiang Congwen who was helping him to pass on the message so that he could explain.

"It's okay." Xu Hongdou saw that Chen Mo didn't mean it, so she shook her head gently.

This was also because Chen Mo had given Xu Hongdou a very good feeling before, and Chen Mo was also very handsome, so people would not think of him as something vulgar and dirty.

"Even if our Hongdou is pretty, you can't keep staring at her. You're almost obsessed with her." Seeing that it was a misunderstanding, Chen Nanxing joked with a smile.

"No, no, I just suddenly had an inspiration. There is a melody in my mind..." Chen Mo explained hurriedly.

Before he finished speaking, Chen Mo himself felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched. Staring at the girl and then saying that he had some inspiration, what kind of inspiration? This was definitely a hooligan.

"No? That means our red beans are not good-looking?" Chen Nanxing said playfully.

"No, no, she's very nice-looking..." As he spoke, Chen Mo noticed that Xu Hongdou was looking at him strangely, so he quickly stopped talking.

"No, I mean she's very beautiful, but I..." Chen Mo tried to reorganize his words to explain himself.

"But you don't like it?" Chen Nanxing asked.

"I like it. I like it very much." Chen Mo answered subconsciously, and then realized that this was a bit ambiguous and misleading, so he quickly said, "But what I mean is that I didn't have any bad thoughts just now, I just..."

Chen Mo felt that his words were a little pale at the moment, and the more he explained, the more unclear it became.

"Melody? No wonder. Those creative people would say that they got inspiration from time to time, but to outsiders, they just looked stupid and dazed." Jiang Congwen looked at Chen Mo's incoherent speech and hurried to help him out, saying to Xu Hongdou.

"What kind of melody?" Xu Hongdou was a little curious. He was taking pictures and got inspiration when he got closer to her?

"I was interrupted and didn't remember everything." Chen Mo was a little discouraged.

"Or you can stare at our Hongdou again and try to see if you can remember it." Chen Nanxing joked.

Chen Mo smiled awkwardly.

"Nanxing." Xu Hongdou felt a little embarrassed and annoyed when she heard this. What was wrong with her best friend today?

"Let's think about it later. Let's take the photos first?" Jiang Congwen suggested.

"Yes, yes, let's take the photos first. Hongdou has something to do later." Chen Nanxing didn't hold on to it anymore and raised his phone again.

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come on, three, two, one, eggplant."

Click.

Time freezes.

This time the four of them took a group photo smoothly.

"Is it okay for me to post on WeChat Moments later?" Chen Nanxing looked at Jiang Congwen and Chen Mo and asked.

"Of course no problem, just send it out." Jiang Congwen said.

Chen Mo also expressed no objection.

"Send me the photos later, and we'll post them on WeChat Moments. It's a happy and memorable day to meet new friends today." Jiang Congwen continued in a seemingly casual tone.

Chen Mo looked at Jiang Congwen in confusion. As far as he knew, Jiang Congwen only posted to show his affection on WeChat Moments and never posted anything else.

Chen Mo himself never posts on WeChat Moments. He would read other people's WeChat Moments, sometimes like or comment on them, but he would never post on his own.

"Okay. How should I send you?" Chen Nanxing nodded.

Jiang Congwen ignored Chen Mo's silly look and took the opportunity to suggest, "Let's just create a group face to face. It will be faster, and you need to pick up the photos yourself."

"Okay. Then it'll be 9999." Chen Nanxing set the group password.

Jiang Congwen picked up his phone and started to operate it, and at the same time he did not forget to urge Chen Mo: "Hurry up and join the group."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo also picked up his phone and joined the group. It was difficult to say that he didn't need it at this time.

When Xu Hongdou saw that everyone had joined the group, she also used her mobile phone to join the group.

Chen Nanxing: [Photo] Jiang Congwen: Received
Chen Mo: +1
Xu Hongdou: +1
The dishes were served one after another and the four of them finished eating quickly.

In the end, Jiang Congwen rushed to pay the bill.

Then, because Xu Hongdou was in a hurry to get back to work, the four of them said goodbye and dispersed.

on the way back.

"How is it, did you meet someone you like this time? You stared at her with such fixed eyes just now, you almost kissed her." Jiang Congwen said jokingly.

"No, didn't I just say that I suddenly got an inspiration?" Chen Mo said helplessly.

"Don't give me that. You can only use this excuse to fool the girl. Inspiration? Who can get inspiration from looking at a girl so closely?" Jiang Congwen said disdainfully: "I have known you for so long, why have I never seen you get inspiration from other people like this."

"If I hadn't helped you, do you think you could have gotten away with it so easily?"

"Then thank you." Chen Mo also knew that his reasons did sound a bit far-fetched. Although what he said was the truth, he could only hope that she would not misunderstand him.

"Of course not. For my performance today, I deserve an award: The Strongest Wingman of the Year." Jiang Congwen said quite complacently.

"Wingman?" Chen Mo was puzzled. If you are a wingman, then what am I? What is our goal?
"I'll tell Xu Hongdou in front of her that I'm moving, and then let you move in. That way, it will be natural for you to show up in front of her, and she won't feel awkward or frivolous. You can get the upper hand by being close to her."

"I said that by creating a group face to face, you will have other people's contact information and channels. Otherwise, if I really want photos, I can just add Chen Nanxing as a friend. Why bother to create a group?"

"I suggested setting up a group face to face, and then the three of us joined. Normally, the rest of the people would follow suit subconsciously. In group activities, people tend to follow the crowd to avoid being alone."

"I said she had to pick it up herself just to reinforce the hint. Otherwise, if she wanted the photo, she could just ask her bestie to send it to her directly."

"In the end I paid for the meal, which leaves the possibility of meeting for dinner again."

"I was wondering why you are so proactive. You are so calculating even when treating someone to a meal. This is how you tricked Li Jinting back then." Chen Mo didn't know what to say.

"Hey, what do you mean by calculating? What do you mean by lying? You are so rude. These are all my valuable advices, based on my years of experience. I won't tell them to ordinary people."

"Sincerity is the ultimate weapon." Chen Mo said.

"You know it's called a special move, which means it has to be used at the critical moment, and before that, you need to lay the groundwork, and that requires skills and methods. You can't just use your ultimate move as a normal attack right away, can you show your sincerity to others?" Jiang Congwen said angrily.

"I rushed to pay the bill just to avoid splitting the bill. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you treat others or they treat you. It's a give and take."

"If people don't want to have anything to do with you at all and are afraid of getting involved with you, then it means you have little chance."

Jiang Congwen taught earnestly, and Chen Mo's eyes twitched as he listened.

"The fact that you two met is fate; if you move there, you will have the advantage of location; based on my observation just now, her best friend wouldn't dare say she is very satisfied with you, but at least she is okay with you and doesn't have any feelings of disgust, that's harmony among people."

"If you can't get the right time, right place, and right people, then you'll be single for the rest of your life."

"No, I've only met him three times, and I don't have that idea yet." Chen Mo looked at Jiang Congwen talking to himself, feeling a little amused.

"Look, you clearly remember how many times you met him, and you still say you have no thoughts?"

“……”Chen Mo.

"Just now you said in front of her that she was beautiful and that you liked her very much. Now you say you have no idea?"

"I was just stating an objective fact. When choosing a partner, you can't just look at their appearance. You also need to consider whether their personality and other aspects are compatible."

"Are you sure that what you said is objective facts and not subjective feelings? Weren't those junior sisters who pursued you in school pretty? I never saw you tell them the objective facts." Jiang Congwen ruthlessly exposed.

“……”Chen Mo was speechless.

"Just tell me if you feel moved by her appearance or not?"

"..."Chen Mo was silent.

"Personalities can be adjusted and shortcomings can be corrected, but fate is something that is missed once it is missed," Jiang Congwen said earnestly.

"Brother, happiness is something you have to fight for yourself, not wait for."

"It hasn't come to that point yet." Chen Mo said. He was rather cautious in relationships. He wouldn't take that step without really clarifying his feelings and making sure whether there was a possibility between both parties.

"It's enough to have this hint. You can slowly confirm your feelings." Jiang Congwen was satisfied and felt that his love life over the past few years was not in vain and had found a place to put his skills to good use.

Although he had just climbed out of the pit of love, it did not stop him from kicking his brother into it.

"Let it be." Chen Mo was not in a hurry. He neither resisted nor forced feelings.

Jiang Congwen knew Chen Mo's temper and didn't say anything more.

"By the way, are you really planning to move?" Chen Mo asked.

"Well, change the environment, change your mood, and start again." Jiang Congwen said seriously.

Chen Mo knew that the reason why Jiang Congwen moved here was to make it easier for Li Jinting to work.

Watching the couple get to this point, Chen Mo felt a little sad.

Because he and Jiang Congwen shared a dormitory in college, Chen Mo basically knew when Jiang Congwen did not come home at night.

Jiang Congwen has stayed in almost all the hotels near the university. He often recommends to Chen Mo which hotel is better to visit during holidays and which hotel is more cost-effective on weekdays. He also often complains about which hotel has poor sound insulation and which has poor facilities and supplies.

Unfortunately, Chen Mo never used this strategy until graduation.

How many windows have you wandered through?
How many hotels have you stayed in?
Only then will I feel that separation is not unfair.

Suddenly, two piano notes, followed by slightly sad string music...
