Birth of a Beauty

Chapter 91: It will be just a burden for you

"What?" Xi Mei felt like she heard him wrong. Without looking at her, Mo Xung looked at his father

instead. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

" Father, Don't you think we should help her. She is Nanny Sui's granddaughter after all and You know

how much Nanny Sui mean to us. Living alone by herself is very risky, so why don't we let her stay with

us until Nanny Sui returns back."

Then only he looked at Xi Mei " And since she is my classmate and I happen to be injured she will help

me with studies. Isn't it like hitting two target with a stone? What do you think.."

Just as Xi Mei was going to say something, Mo Xung continued after looking back at Mo Dunguo

"..Father?"

Mo Dunguo nodded his head as he replied "For the first time, You have used your brain for right thing."

Mo Xung smiled brightly before realizing what his father's words meant.

"Father!!" He glared at his father. Mo Dunguo didn't give any heed to him, just stared at Xi Mei with a

parental smile.

" Xiao Mei, What do you think of the idea? I won't ever force you. But it will be safer for you if you stay

with us here. If you are worried about Nanny Sui, then-"

Xi Mei hurriedly cut him off as she shook her head " No, I am not hesitating because of Grandma. To be

real honest, She also told me the same thing and was about to ask you if i could stay here until she

returns but i was the one who refused."

"Why?" Mo Xung gazed at Xi Mei , completely puzzled.

Xi Mei lowered her head, fidgeting her little fingers " Actually, I thought it will be just a burden for you if I

begin to stay here. Added to the fact that I wanted to try how it feels to stay home alone by myself. So,

Rather than giving problems to others, I decided to stay alone independently."

*Silence*

Both 'Mo' Son and Father duo looked at eachother before looking back at Xi Mei.

After a while, Mo Dunguo broke the silence " I really appreciate your courageous thoughts. And In

today's world, There are many people who live alone but many of them are already adults.."

".. But Living alone can be really dangerous for you. As I stated already, I won't force you. So, you can

give your answer after you think about it after we have dinner. Go rest in the living room till the dinner is

cooking."

After saying that he got up and went to the kitchen. Xi Mei pursed her lips as her gaze followed his

back till it disappeared deep inside the kitchen.

"Mind if you take me to the living room too?" Mo Xung asked.

"Huh?..Yeah." Xi Mei stood up and helped Mo Xung sit in the wheelchair before going towards the

living room.

She made him sit in the couch before adjusting herself in the nearby chair.

But Neither Xi Mei nor Mo Xung said anything to eachother. Xi Mei was still fidgeting with her fingers

silently.

Mo Xung was staring at Xi Mei attentively as he reminisced his school interaction with her from the

start...

First scene goes by, when she entered the classroom as a new transferee, That time everyone were

gossiping but Mo Xung was staring at her.

And his lips broke into a smile without his knowing. His heartbeat was unusually fast.

' So familiar..' Those words was revolving in his mind. Just then, he realized why he felt she was

looking so familiar that moment.

Next scene was When Ji Yoheng was messing up with Lin Xueqing. Xi Mei was murmuring "Don't

fight.." repeatedly as she hated watching fights but she didn't know her murmurs were making Mo Xung

restless.

So, He was ready to stop Ji Yoheng just because Xi Mei didn't like it.

But that time he didn't know why he was doing it, now he know it clearly.

Third scene was when some boys were bullying Xi Mei by taking her tiffin box, he helped her. Then she

offered him her snacks as a thank you.

When he saw her cutting the spring roll into half, then taking out the inner stuffing and filling it in Fried

rice.

Only after mixing everything she ate it, he felt the scene very familiar yet again.

That time his thought were 'Is she Meimei?' No that can't be..

But now he realized how much of a fool he was. He couldn't even guess it after taking in so many hints

like her name itself.

He lastly remembered the scene when Xi Mei called him " Shǎzi !( Fool in chinese)" and entered the

class in school uniform for the first time.

He felt like his heart was going to jump off his chest. His face and ears were turning red.

Obviously, He would feel like that because he used to get flushed red whenever he saw little Xi Mei in

his childhood. His old habits never changed at all.

He liked Xi Mei in the past and he still likes her the same.
