Chapter 73 First kiss?
Xu Hongdou was also stunned when she heard Chen Mo's words, "What sincerity?"
"Didn't you tell me to be sincere when I confess my feelings?" Chen Mo blinked.
Xu Hongdou frowned subconsciously, "When did I want you?"
"That's what you said yesterday."
Xu Hongdou thought about it carefully and suddenly understood why Chen Mo was like a blockhead last night.
It turned out that there was a misunderstanding between the two.
Xu Hongdou's expression was somewhat amusing and awkward, "So, you interpreted my sincerity as some kind of gift?"
"That's not the case." Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "I just think it should be more formal, at least with a sense of ceremony."
"If it's just words, then which words I said or which songs I sang were not confessing my love to you?"
Seeing Chen Mo's serious expression, Xu Hongdou felt a little confused for a moment.
"You're such a fool! I made it so obvious last night, but you still didn't understand." Xu Hongdou said softly.
"Last night?" Chen Mo also frowned and thought about it.
Chen Mo gradually opened his eyes, with an expression of disbelief, "So the process you told me last night was for me to confess my feelings?"
"What else?" Xu Hongdou tilted her head slightly.
"No, you." Chen Mo didn't know what to say for a moment.
After watching the horror movie last night, Chen Mo was indeed a little absent-minded.
That thing was really addictive to him. He almost couldn't sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, he thought of the bloody scene.
In addition, Chen Mo's understanding of "sincerity" must be slightly different from usual, so his mind was stuck and he didn't think about it that way for a while.
"Is it my sincerity just because I sing a song? Your requirements are so low why don't you just say it directly." Chen Mo couldn't help but say.
"I've already told you that you can hug me, isn't that straight enough?" Xu Hongdou raised her eyebrows.
When Chen Mo heard this, he felt even more heartbroken. He had missed this.
The beauty threw herself into his arms, but he didn't even catch this pie-in-the-sky good fortune.
"Oh." Chen Mo sighed with great regret.
Chen Mo thought about it and asked tentatively: "Can I tell you now?"
"Okay, just tell me." Xu Hongdou nodded.
"Is it really possible?" Chen Mo was a little bit unbelievable.
"I don't need any whole set of ceremonies or gifts." Xu Hongdou said seriously.
"Now that I am sure of my own heart and understand your feelings, there is no need to set a threshold for happiness. Isn't that just making things difficult for myself?"
After hearing what Xu Hongdou said, Chen Mo was silent for a while, and couldn't help but smile gently, "Xu Hongdou, Xu Hongdou, why are you so nice?"
"Now that you know, remember to be nice to me next time." Xu Hongdou snorted.
"Yeah." Chen Mo nodded with a smile.
"You know, every day I feel like I can't love you more than I do today, but I felt the same way yesterday."
"Is this your confession?"
"Okay, but the formal confession will have to wait."
"That's enough." Xu Hongdou shook her head.
"It's not enough. You must have what others have." Chen Mo also shook his head.
"We don't need to be like others. I said I don't want those." Xu Hongdou said.
"But I want to give it to you." Chen Mo said seriously.
"And I'm already prepared." Chen Mo couldn't help but smile, "So wait for me a moment, okay?"
Xu Hongdou looked at Chen Mo's persistence and sighed, "If you really want to give me a gift, can't you give it to me later? Can't I just give it to you as a gift when you confessed your love to me?"
"How can they be the same? Besides, can this thing be replenished later? It won't taste right if it's replenished later."
Chen Mo was also a little helpless. It was so difficult to give a gift.
Others’ girlfriends ask for gifts, why can’t he give any?
"It's up to you." Xu Hongdou was helpless.
Chen Mo didn't want to say anything now, but she couldn't force Chen Mo to confess.
I've heard of forced marriage, but what's that about forcing someone to confess their love?
"Actually, I wanted to keep it a secret from you and give you a surprise." Chen Mo said with a smile.
"But I'm afraid if you wait too long and misunderstand, it won't be worth it."
"Then we have to perform another sadomasochistic love scene like in the TV drama?" Xu Hongdou couldn't help but say.
"That's just too melodramatic." The two said in unison, looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.
This may be a point of tacit understanding and consensus between the two people. If there is anything, they will talk it out in time and not hide anything.
Don't do things like hiding things from each other or making guesses between each other, and don't make things difficult for yourself.
"Try this sweet and sour carp and see if it's authentic and whether it tastes like your hometown." Chen Mo picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and gave it to Xu Hongdou.
Only then did Xu Hongdou notice the dishes Chen Mo ordered. The stir-fried kidney, fried squid with coriander, four-happiness meatballs, and sweet and sour carp were all dishes from her hometown in Shandong.
"Did you go out of your way to buy it?"
"I just happened to pass by a Shandong cuisine restaurant. I've eaten there before and thought it was pretty good, so I wanted you to try it too."
"Oh." Xu Hongdou glanced at Chen Mo, ate the fish that Chen Mo picked for her, and said nothing, but she knew some things very well.
This packaging doesn't look like it was just packed by someone just passing by.
"How does it taste?" Chen Mo asked.
"It's not as delicious as the braised prawns you made." said Xu Hongdou.
Braised prawns in oil is also a traditional Shandong cuisine, and Chen Mo has made it for Xu Hongdou before.
"Hmm? No way." Chen Mo also took a bite after hearing that. "It should be because it's packed. It tasted pretty good when I ate there before."
No matter how delicious the food in a restaurant is, if it is packed and kept in a takeaway box for half an hour, it will definitely not be comparable to eating it on the spot.
"I'll take you to try it out on site some other day. It should be pretty good."
"It's not as delicious as what you cook." Xu Hongdou shook her head.
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, "You like the food I cook so much?"
"The food at home tastes better than that in the restaurant," said Xu Hongdou.
Hearing what Xu Hongdou said, Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh, and laughed happily.
Whose home?
Of course it is his and her, their home.
"If you like it, I'll make it for you tomorrow."
"Ah."
After they finished eating, they cleaned up the table and kitchen together.
"I'm leaving."
"okay."
Xu Hongdou sent Chen Mo to the door, but Chen Mo stopped at the door.
"What's wrong?" Xu Hongdou asked.
"Well, didn't I allow you to exercise your rights in advance?"
"You said, and then what?" Xu Hongdou nodded.
"Then can I also exercise my rights in advance?"
"How do you want to exercise it in advance?" Xu Hongdou tilted her head and asked with interest.
Chen Mo opened his arms, his meaning was very clear.
"I told you to complete the process quickly, but you insisted on dragging it out. Now you want to skip the process. You're making it very difficult for me." Xu Hongdou shook her head and sighed.
"Is it okay?" Chen Mo asked while keeping his arms open.
"Close your eyes."
"Why do you close your eyes? You won't close the door while I close my eyes, right?" Chen Mo asked suspiciously. Chen Mo was now standing outside the door. Once Xu Hongdou closed the door, he could only look at the door and sigh.
"Will you close it? If not, I'll close it now."
"Don't play tricks on me." Chen Mo was a little worried.
He seemed to have locked Xu Hongdou out of the door before. Would Xu Hongdou take the opportunity to take revenge?
"If it's not closed, then forget it." Xu Hongdou said as she was about to close the door.
"Hey, hey, hey, can you be more patient? It makes me feel a little insecure if I don't close my eyes."
Chen Mo sighed and muttered as he closed his eyes, "How can you hug someone and close your eyes? I've never heard of that."
Xu Hongdou approached quietly, tiptoed lightly, and pecked her red lips.
Chen Mo opened his eyes immediately, but before he could react, Xu Hongdou had already closed the door.
Chen Mo blinked blankly, couldn't help swallowing, and subconsciously reached out and gently touched the corner of his mouth.
"My first kiss is gone?"
Xu Hongdou behind the door also covered her chest, her heart pounding and her face slightly red.
Xu Hongdou originally wanted to kiss Chen Mo on the face, but she didn't expect that Chen Mo was a head taller than her. She couldn't reach him even when she stood on tiptoe, so in the end she kissed the corner of Chen Mo's mouth for some unknown reason.
Just when Xu Hongdou calmed down a little, she received a message from Chen Mo:
"Are you being a hooligan? Give me back my first kiss!"
When Xu Hongdou saw Chen Mo's shameless "accusation", she was immediately furious.
This guy is taking advantage of others and acting like a good kid!
Xu Hongdou turned around and opened the door angrily, wanting to have a good "argument" with Chen Mo.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Hongdou opened the door, Chen Mo approached her. Xu Hongdou subconsciously turned her head away.
There was a clear and loud sound.
Chen Mo gave Xu Hongdou a "hard" kiss on the face.
After Chen Mo succeeded, he withdrew and said as he retreated:
"If you kiss me on the mouth, I'll suffer a little, but if I kiss your face, it'll be enough, and you'll get the upper hand."
When Xu Hongdou heard this, she immediately kicked off her slippers. Chen Mo had already hidden in his room and just closed the door.
"Bang!" The slippers hit the door of 1102.
Xu Hongdou's chest was heaving, and her fair face had already turned red. It was unclear whether she was shy or angry.
"Stinking rogue!"
Xu Hongdou wiped her face with the back of her hand, then staggered out the door on one foot, picked up her slippers, and finally got so angry that she kicked Chen Mo's door.
Hearing the noise, Chen Mo looked through the peephole on the door, couldn't help but smile, and subconsciously pursed his lips.
"So soft and fragrant."
In the following days, Chen Mo still went to pick up Xu Hongdou from get off work every day.
Everything was normal between the two of them, except that they became closer to each other.
As for the confession that Chen Mo said he was going to prepare, there was no movement on it yet, but Xu Hongdou didn't urge him either, as if both of them had forgotten about it.
During the time when Chen Mo was busy dating, Jiang Congwen's album had also been completed and the promotion and pre-launch had officially begun.
Jiang Congwen is currently taking promotional photos for several albums.
"Wow, it's true that clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse."
"Put on some makeup and some clothes, and I instantly look several levels more handsome."
Chen Mo looked at Jiang Congwen, who was dressed up nicely, and couldn't help but tease him.
"Bullshit, that's because I have a good foundation." Jiang Congwen said disdainfully.
"I just keep a low profile and don't want to show off my handsomeness. I just want to be with you in a normal way and don't want to put pressure on you."
"Look at me, then look at yourself in the mirror. Do you think it's appropriate for you to say this?" Chen Mo asked seriously.
The costume designer and makeup artist next to them heard their conversation, glanced secretly between the two, and couldn't help but hold back their laughter.
Indeed, anyone with a discerning eye can see that even when Chen Mo is standing here in casual clothes, he is much more handsome than Jiang Congwen.
Jiang Congwen was unaware of this and shook his collar in a smug manner, "Are you kidding? Is there any need to say that?"
"My brother was not the most handsome boy in the school, but at least he was the most handsome boy in the department. That was the result of the votes of thousands of female students. Do you think this is a joke?"
"Then why don't you dare say that you are the school idol?" Chen Mo asked sincerely.
"That's just disdainful of me, bro."
"Oh? Isn't it because of me?" Chen Mo smiled, "Besides, we are in the same class. Where I am, there is no way you can get the title of grass."
"Damn it, why are you here?" Jiang Congwen was a little jumpy.
"You're here to ruin the highlight of my first album, right?"
"It allows you to sweep away vanity and recognize yourself."
"Get lost. I am the most handsome in my album. I won't accept any rebuttal."
"If you are alone, then you are indeed the most handsome." Chen Mo shook his head reluctantly.
"But your MV for 'Ten Years' seems to be directly based on the video that Hongdou and I shot?"
"." Jiang Congwen just remembered this.
"Okay, let me ask you, are you going to Sister Nan's concert this Sunday?"
"I asked her for four tickets before, but you seem to be very busy recently."
"Go, I have to go to Sister Nan's concert to support her no matter what." Jiang Congwen said immediately.
"You are so shameless. You even have the nerve to say you are going to show your support after getting free tickets." Chen Mo complained bluntly.
"So what? Even though it doesn't matter if I'm in the audience or not, wait until I become famous, then this will be a good story."
"What's the good story?"
"Shocking! Before his debut, King of Pop Jiang Congwen was actually a loyal fan of Queen of Pop Lin Nanxi!"
"Hold him in the mirror more often."
Chen Mo said something to the makeup artist next to him, then shook his head and left.
Time quickly came to Friday, at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
"Hongdou, your boyfriend is here to pick you up."
When Zhong Xueyao saw Chen Mo's car coming, she couldn't help but make a teasing remark.
Of course Xu Hongdou also saw Chen Mo's car, and nodded to Zhong Xueyao with a smile, "Then I'll leave first."
"Bye-Bye."
"Bye-Bye."
Watching Xu Hongdou get in the car and leave, Zhong Xueyao said to Xu Zixin next to her:
"Now Liu Guangyu can give up completely."
"Yes, indeed." Xu Zixin nodded in agreement.
There is no need to ask now, Xu Hongdou has already admitted it so obviously.
"How is it? Are you tired today?" Chen Mo asked.
Xu Hongdou rubbed her neck and said, "Not bad."
"Then will Nanxing come over tomorrow?"
Chen Mo had already told the "Food Squad" about the concert in the group chat in advance.
"The concert is in the evening. She can just come over on Sunday, and then stay at my place after watching the concert."
"Oh." Chen Mo nodded.
Chen Mo had a clear idea once he confirmed the time.
In fact, Chen Mo had already received the things that Hu Youwei had asked him to carve the day before yesterday, but he still had to find a suitable time and make some preparations in advance.
Now it seems that Saturday, which is tomorrow night, is just right.
