Cui Xun stopped making fun of Su Mo, and handed the case to him.
“Don’t get back to work so early. You have a lot of things to deal with since you will get married in ten days. Can you manage all these affairs?”
“My parents are in full charge of everything related, and he is enthusiastic about the wedding, too. There is nothing I can do. You told me that this is a complicated case on the phone, and I’d like to take it.”
“You can take it after your wedding.”
“I’d like to learn some background information about the case first, so that I can get to work immediately after my wedding.”
“He didn’t object to your work?”
“We have reached an agreement not to interfere with each other’s work.” Su Mo smiled as he added, “He agreed and is quite supportive about my work.”
“Xing Biao is really a good man. As your friend, I’d like to advice you not to pull that long face all day long. Xing Biao would not be enthusiastic if you keep pouring cold water.”
Su Mo took a sip of coffee and smiled at the thought of Xing Biao.
“He enjoys it a lot. Even if I pour ice to him, he would still enjoy it as the water-sprinkling festival. The more cold water I pour, the happier he gets. In fact, he is a bit…special.”
“A normal man will not fall in love with you, because he cannot stand your indifference. Do you know why nobody has confessed to you or fallen in love with you for these years? You are an insulator, immune to both soft and heart tactics. You can never be moved by anybody. You are so lucky that such a careless man falls in love with you.”
“Do I look so hard to get?”
“My heart flipped when I first saw you. However, I soon realized that I would never get to your heart after merely one day with you, which is why I never mastered up the courage to bare my heart.”
“You just did. But it’s late.”
Cui Xun sighed, with no sadness but excitement in his expression.
“Everyone will meet his Mr. right. Admiration is quite different from being in a relationship, and sharing a life together would be something even more special. I have no regrets about you getting married. But I’m really curious if Xing Biao can make you behave in a normal way after you get married.”
“I will make him behave in a normal way. I’m normal and reasonable.”
“Everybody in love is not reasonable.”
Su Mo nodded, “You seem to have a lot of experiences. So you must have fallen in love with others for many times. You must be a playboy.”
“Shit! You mean I’m dissolute?”
“Yes, as you think.”
Cui Xun did not agree with Su Mo at all. Su Mo was so calm that nobody with a normal mind would like to marry him. Su Mo knew nothing about romance. Getting along with somebody was not like studying or handling cases, in no need of too much reason. As a careless man, maybe Xing Biao could bear the indifference from Su Mo.
Su Mo laughed. It was funny to tease Cui Xun.
“You got a minute? I could use some company to the hospital.”
“Will he be jealous if he knows I accompany you to the hospital? This could be a sign that I’m more important to you than he is.”
“I just need some help to walk up and down the stairs,” said Su Mo as he thought his senior had really rich imagination.
“How could I have a junior like you? So unimaginative you are!”
“Please, senior.”
“Alas! What a caring senior I am!” thought Cui Xun. Su Mo’s foot should be recovered soon, or he might show in the wedding ceremony with his injured foot. How pathetic would that be!
With the liquid medicine for massaging acquired from Old Zhang, plus that he had been cautious all these days, he would recover soon. The doctor had a check and told Su Mo that the bone fracture was almost recovered, and he should walk slowly. Generally speaking, Su Mo must be a handsome bridegroom on the wedding day.
Su Mo treated Cui Xun to a dinner. It was already late in the evening when he went back home. Aunt Su saw that Su Mo was making a call when he opened the door, frowning with an impatient expression.
“Aren’t you having dinner with your guests? Why keep calling me?”
“I’m back home already. I didn’t go anywhere. Are you interrogating me? Do I have to tell you what I had for dinner? Don’t be such a busybody, okay? You’ll be exhausted.”
“I don’t care about who are having dinner with. It’s none of my business.”
“What do you want? You are so silly! I’m telling you not to kiss me through the phone, it’s disgusting.”
Su Mo hung up with an impatient expression.
“Idiot,” Su Mo cursed.
“Bickering with Xing Biao again?”
“He is so annoying. He’s called me five times today. He even told me how many bottles of beers he had drunk. Such a nuisance he is.”
Aunt Su laughed and took over the coat of Su Mo.
“He is afraid that you may worry about him.”
“So isn’t he afraid that I will be annoyed? I don’t want to respond to him.”
Su Mo got back to his room with the case material, to analyze it. Aunt Su shook her head with a smile. Su Mo said he did not want to talk to Xing Biao, but why did Su Mo answer all the five calls? He knew perfectly well that they would quarrel as long as he answered the phone, but why did he answer them? As a person with such experiences, Aunt Su knew everything.
