Chapter 190 Reunion
Chen Mo carried Xu Hongdou’s finished bowl downstairs and came to the kitchen, where he saw Hu Youyu coming down the stairs from the other side, also carrying a tray.

“Has everyone else finished eating?”

Chen Mo cooked porridge for everyone, and Hu Youyu was responsible for the other three.

Hu Youyu put the bowl into the sink and nodded, “This is the last one.”

Chen Mo joked, “I was worried that you would only send one and forget about Nanxing and Nana.”

Hu Youyu said righteously: “How is that possible? I sent it to Nana and Nanxing first.”

Chen Mo suddenly realized, “I misunderstood. I thought you wanted to stay longer to see off the last person.”

Hu Youyu coughed dryly and said, “Well, I’ll wash the dishes. You do it and I’ll wash it. This is how we’ll divide the work for the next two days.”

Chen Mo smiled, found a chair to sit down, and said to himself: “Oh, it seems that Qingya’s lease period is less than a month left?”

Hu Youyu paused while washing the dishes and looked up in surprise, “So fast?”

Chen Mo shook his head and hummed: “You who can’t catch love always watch it slip away~~ People who are lost in love are everywhere, and you will be one of them.”

Hu Youyu: “.”

“Don’t love too much and miss out, leaving you single and singing love songs alone~~”

Hu Youyu took a deep breath and said, “Brother, is this the word?”

Chen Mo smiled and said, “I wrote the song, and I have the right to interpret it.”

Hu Youyu felt a pain in his teeth, and Chen Mo said no more.

All of a sudden, everything became quiet, with only the sound of running water from the sink faucet remaining.

Suddenly, Hu Youyu asked, “What do you think I should do?”

Chen Mo shrugged. “It depends on you. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again.”

Hu Youyu was tangled up: “I am a little afraid of that.”

Chen Mo smiled and said, “Old Hu, do you know who doesn’t have a girlfriend?”

Hu Youyu thought for a moment and asked, “No money?”

Chen Mo shook his head. “There are many people who have girlfriends even though they have no money. There are also some who are short and ugly, but there are no such people who are cowardly.”

Hu Youyu gritted his teeth and asked, “Is there any excellent experience I can learn from?”

Chen Mo looked at him strangely. “You sing in a bar every day. Even if you haven’t eaten pork, you must have seen pigs run, right?”

Hu Youyu sighed, “Don’t bars have a specific environment and atmosphere? Besides, it’s not awkward to be rejected. After drinking, we won’t meet again. But it’s obviously not appropriate now.”

Chen Mo touched his chin and thought: “You know what, your current situation is quite similar to mine back then.”

“Before Hongdou and I got together, we lived next door to each other. Now you live in adjacent rooms upstairs. And you have an advantage over me. The common area in the yard is a natural geographical advantage.”

“Back then, if I wanted to meet Hongdou, I had to find ways to create an encounter. If the two gates in the city were closed, I might not be able to meet her even if I relied on luck for ten days or half a month.”

Hu Youyu perked up when he heard this, “So how did you do it back then?”

Chen Mo raised his chin to indicate, “I’m just cooking for Hongdou. It’s said that if you want to capture a man’s heart, you have to capture his stomach. In fact, the opposite is also true.”

“So if you want to talk about money, then I was quite frugal when pursuing Hongdou. The money I spent on a meal at a restaurant outside was enough for me to cook several meals at home.”

Hu Youyu’s eyes widened. “You caught up with Hongdou by cooking?”

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, “Do you think I rely on spending money?”

Hu Youyu chuckled, “That’s not the case, but logically speaking, for someone like you, isn’t it the easiest and quickest way to spend money?”

Chen Mo shook his head and sighed, “Hongdou was worried and hesitated for a long time because I was too rich.”

Hu Youyu smiled and said, “That really fits Hongdou’s personality.”

Chen Mo thought it was funny, “Anyway, you have to take advantage of the advantages that others don’t have.”

“For example, Hongdou used to work in a hotel. Her hotel was one of the most luxurious ones, so she had seen a lot of rich people, and she had also seen a lot of people sending flowers and gifts to her. And I live next door to her, so I can definitely do something that others can’t do.” Hu Youyu thought thoughtfully.

“Woof~~”

At the door, a fat white Samoyed ran in.

“A bunch of hands?”

Chen Mo clapped his hands and shouted, and the gangster stuck out his tongue and immediately ran over.

“How come you are not alone, but a dog came here by itself?”

Chen Mo stroked the furry body of the dog and looked towards the door.

Sure enough, a pair of canvas shoes stepped over the threshold, a khaki long skirt fluttered, a long and wide white shirt, a beige knitted vest, a simple bun, and a suitcase in her hand.

“barley.”

“Hey, isn’t this my sister Damai?”

Hu Youyu said happily: “I can hardly recognize this artistic guy.”

Da Mai rolled his eyes, “You can recognize her just by her dancing skills, right?”

Hu Youyu choked and said, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Da Mai raised his head and glanced toward the second floor with a mischievous look in his eyes and a humming sound.

Hu Youyu looked embarrassed and smacked his lips.

Seeing Hu Youyu being embarrassed, Chen Mo said with a smile: “Old Hu, the girls have a special group chat and they keep in touch with each other.”

When Barley saw Chen Mo, he smiled and said, “Brother Mo.”

Chen Mo rubbed the man’s head and asked, “Why did you get left behind by him?”

Da Mai glanced at the dog and shook his head helplessly, saying, “It knows the way now. It dragged me to the alley and I couldn’t run any further. Seeing that there were not many people on the road, I just let it run away.”

Chen Mo chuckled, “You came back just to see Hongdou and the others?”

Barley nodded and asked with concern, “Is everyone okay?”

“I’m fine now. I’m resting in my room now. My body is recovering and I tend to feel sleepy.”

Chen Mo smiled knowingly, “It must be tiring for you to run back and forth.”

Da Mai spread his hands and said excitedly: “So this time, I plan to live in the courtyard again~~”

Chen Mo was stunned at first, then he smiled happily and said, “Then you guys can continue your late night snack party.”

“Yeah.” Da Mai nodded happily, “I told Hong Dou in advance and asked her to reserve a room for me.”

Chen Mo pointed, “Now the only room left is the one next to Nana on the first floor.”

Da Mai clapped his hands and said, “It’s just right. I have a bunch of bamboo shoots with me now, so it’s convenient for me to live downstairs.”

Nana on the first floor walked out of her room after vaguely hearing Da Mai’s voice. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, “Da Mai?”

When Da Mai saw it, he immediately trotted over and said, “Nana.”

The two hugged each other happily.

“How did you come?”

“I miss you guys.”

While the two were playing, a surprised voice came from upstairs: “Barley?”

“Hongdou, Nanxing.” Damai waved excitedly towards the second floor.

Chen Mo chuckled and said, “The courtyard will be lively again.”
