Chapter 122: Consider It

“However, you went home during the holidays and weren’t in City B. I was afraid that if I told you too early and you weren’t here, it would disturb your mood.” How could Qin Murong have been thinking about it for a long time? She’d just thought of it on the spot and was making an excuse.

“I came to school early, but I didn’t expect to see you so soon,” Qin Murong explained. “Since I’ve run into you, I might as well tell you now.”

Qin Murong smiled with a sincere expression on her face and said, “You can think about it. If you find it suitable, you can try it. If you find it inappropriate, then forget it.

“I won’t bother you anymore.” After she’d finished speaking, Qin Murong left.

“Lunxing, I really don’t think you should listen to her.” Feng Lizheng felt that the plan was untenable.

“I’ll think about it.” Hao Lunxing’s attention was already focused on this method.

…

Tan Mo didn’t even ask why Wei Zhiqian had come. Wei Zhiqian must have come to see her on her first day of military training.

Because military training was too tiring, Wei Zhiqian didn’t take Tan Mo very far. He chose a canteen in the school.

There were several canteens at Beijing University which were in many different areas with varying prices.

There were some with relatively low prices and some with higher prices.

Naturally, Wei Zhiqian was quite familiar with this place. He took Tan Mo to the canteen with the highest prices up on the third floor.

“You can come here to eat if you’re in the area. The third floor is like an ordinary restaurant where you can order most any food you want. On the second floor, there are also a variety of snacks that taste quite good,” Wei Zhiqian introduced her to the area.

“Little Uncle, do you usually eat in the school cafeteria?” This was a little unexpected to her.

This canteen was different from that of Jixia Academy.

The food here was kind of a hodgepodge.

“I ate here during my four years of undergrad, and I’ve also tried other canteens.” Wei Zhiqian saw Tan Mo’s reaction and smiled. “What do you take me for? It’s just a meal, so I’m not that picky about it. Ordering food delivery isn’t as convenient as eating in the school cafeteria, which is cleaner. Should I order food from Michelin restaurants every day?”

He didn’t have time for that nor was he that picky.

Qin Mufeng and many of the others who were studying abroad also weren’t as spoiled as some rich heirs.

They were there to learn, not to enjoy.

How could the environment there be as tough as it was in the Lanshan compound?

Therefore, they didn’t pa.s.s their time enjoying material comforts.

After they sat down, Wei Zhiqian let Tan Mo order whatever she wanted..

Tan Mo looked at the menu but didn’t have an appet.i.te for any dish.

After training all morning, she felt dizzy and her legs were sore.

She felt a little more comfortable now that she’d come into an air-conditioned restaurant, but she’d still lost her appet.i.te because of the heat.

In the end, she reluctantly ordered two cold dishes that looked refres.h.i.+ng and appetizing.

Wei Zhiqian added two more dishes and two bowls of ice jelly.

“Drink some ice jelly to make yourself feel more refreshed.” Wei Zhiqian put the menu aside and said, “But after you eat icy food at noon, you can’t eat anymore today.”

“I see.” Tan Mo pouted and said, “You are stricter than my brothers.”

“I am your Little Uncle, a generation above your older brothers, so naturally I am more strict,” Wei Zhiqian said without changing his expression.

Tan Mo: “…”

How can that be a legitimate excuse?

Tan Mo suddenly remembered that she was still wearing a hat.

No wonder her forehead felt a little uncomfortable.

Tan Mo took off her hat.

The sweat on her forehead had dried up quickly because of the air-conditioning.

The hair that had been sticking to her face from the sweat had also dried, but it was still pressed to her face because of the hat.

Even the hair on the top of her head had been flattened against her scalp.

She really didn’t look so good at the moment.

But Tan Mo never cared about her image in front of Wei Zhiqian.

She just casually tucked the loose strands of hair to the side and behind her ears.

The ice jelly came first, and, when she saw it, she couldn’t wait to dig in with her spoon.

The ice jelly had been mixed with brown sugar, water, and sweet raisins. When she put it in her mouth, her body felt cooled from the inside out.

“So refres.h.i.+ng.” Tan Mo narrowed her eyes.

Wei Zhiqian touched the top of Tan Mo’s head.

The hair that was on top of her head was messed up by Wei Zhiqian, but he made it look a little more fluffy.

Tan Mo quickly covered the top of her head and said, “Little Uncle, I practiced all morning and sweated a lot. My hair must be greasy and dirty.”

Even if she doesn’t care about her image in front of Wei Zhiqian, she can’t let Wei Zhiqian touch her dirty hair.

Wei Zhiqian wanted to flick her forehead lightly, but seeing her little flushed face that hadn’t recovered from the heat of the sun, he couldn’t bear to do so.

He smiled and retracted his hand and said, “Military training is so exhausting. Let me ask President Mu for you to be exempted from military training.”

Tan Mo has been doted on by the Tan family and the Wei family ever since she was a child. How could she have ever suffered such hards.h.i.+p?

She doesn’t need to suffer such hards.h.i.+p.

It doesn’t matter whether Tan Mo partic.i.p.ates in military training or not.

Tan Mo swallowed a mouthful of ice jelly and asked Wei Zhiqian, “Little Uncle, have you partic.i.p.ated in military training?”

“Of course.” Wei Zhiqian nodded. He doesn’t need any special treatment for such trivial matters.

Moreover, training in the Lanshan compound was much more gruesome than military training.

Military training for two weeks isn’t even worth mentioning to him.

“Then I have to continue,” Tan Mo said resolutely without any hesitation, “My Little Uncle has partic.i.p.ated, so I can’t not partic.i.p.ate.”

She acted as if she wanted to follow in Wei Zhiqian’s footsteps.

Although Wei Zhiqian cared about her and for this reason wanted her to avoid as much suffering as possible, as long as she wanted to do something, Wei Zhiqian never objected.

It was just like when Tan Mo was in the first grade. No one knew that Tan Mo was such a genius. Wei Zhiqian wanted to transfer her to another cla.s.s, but she wouldn’t agree. Instead, she wanted to skip grades. Wei Zhiqian agreed without even thinking about it.

Now, it was simply about continuing to partic.i.p.ate in military training. If Tan Mo wanted to, Wei Zhiqian would agree too.

“Okay, but if you get tired of training, just tell me, or you can go to President Mu directly. He has promised you so many conditions. If you add not having to undergo military training as one more condition, he probably won’t refuse.” Wei Zhiqian smiled. .

After lunch, Wei Zhiqian took her back to the dormitory.

There was still a lot of time before 2:00 p.m. so Tan Mo could take the opportunity to have a good rest.

Wei Zhiqian stood at the door of the dormitory watching Tan Mo enter before leaving.

Most of the people living here were freshmen.

Most of the older students hadn’t arrived yet.

The freshmen still didn’t know who Wei Zhiqian was.

There weren’t many people around who knew Wei Zhiqian, so he didn’t arouse any crowds.

As Tan Mo entered her room, she saw Jin Yuelin and Meng Yuxi looking at her with bright eyes.

As for Lin f.u.xi, the expression in her eyes was very complicated, but Tan Mo couldn’t even be bothered to a.n.a.lyze it.
