The More Happy You Are, the More Disappointed You Are
The next day.
"37,000 words. That's about it. Today's mission is completed.”
The alarm clock rang at 9:50 am. Chen Mo was typing something. He smiled in satisfaction when he saw the number of words and uploaded the message.
She changed her clothes, put on her shoes, packed her guitar, and picked up her phone to send a message to Deng Xiaoqi.
"Xiao Qi, I'm going out now. Is there any problem on your side?”
On the other side, although Deng Xiaoqi had been doing her daily practice this morning, she could not wait for this moment.
When she saw Chen Mo's message, she immediately replied that it was no problem and quickly packed up her violin.
After checking her makeup and making sure that there was no problem, she carried the violin case and prepared to go out.
However, at this moment, her phone suddenly rang.
Deng Xiaoqi picked it up and looked at it." Mom." A smile appeared on her face.
"Hello, Mom!"
"Baby, where are you now? Mommy will be back soon. Are you surprised?”A gentle and pampering middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Really?"
Deng Xiaoqi beamed with joy. She even forgot that she had agreed to practice with Chen Mo.
"I'm at home now. How long will you be back? How long can you stay at home this time?”
"This…"
The voice on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment. Deng Xiaoqi realized something and the smile on her face dimmed.
"It's okay, Mom. I know you're busy. I'll wait for you at home now.”
"I'm sorry, baby. Mommy is really busy. This time, I happened to be in City Z for something…"
"Alright, I got it. I'll hang up first.”
"This girl…"
After hanging up the phone, Deng Xiaoqi returned to the sofa and sat down. Suddenly, she found the violin case in her hand.
After being stunned for a moment, she couldn't help but cover her face with her hands, feeling extremely distressed.
"Hey, why did we bump into each other?”
She hesitated for a while before she picked up her phone and sent a message to Chen Mo,"
"My mother just called me and said that she's coming back soon. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I have to wait for her at home.”
"So, I can't go out to practice the piano with you. I'm sorry, please forgive me! (Pitiful)"
Chen Mo was already waiting for Deng Xiaoqi at the building she was staying in. He felt helpless when he saw the message.
"It's fine. It's rare for your mother to come back.”
"Yes, yes."
Chen Mo shook his head and went home to practice his guitar.
A few days ago, he didn't have much time to practice the song.
He had only familiarized himself with the simpler "Canon","When You Are Old", and "Mid-Moon Serenade".
As for " The Night of Confession," he was not very familiar with it and did not play it smoothly.
This was good too. He could practice it today.
Deng Xiaoqi sat on the couch for a while after she texted Chen Mo.
She returned to the piano room and began practicing every day while waiting for her mother to come home.
However, they practiced until 11:30 pm when they finally noticed someone entering the house.
She came out with a happy smile, only to find that it was the auntie who cooked for her. She could not help but be disappointed again.
"Auntie Zhou, my mother is coming back today. Please make some fish.”
"Alright."
The kitchen helper nodded.
Deng Xiaoqi wasn't in the mood to practice the violin. She just sat in the living room and watched TV.
From time to time, she would pick up her phone and call him, but she would put it down because she was afraid of disturbing him.
An hour later, the dishes were ready, and the fish was ready. They were placed on the dining table and looked very sumptuous.
However, the person she was waiting for still did not return.
Just as Deng Xiaoqi was about to call and ask, the door opened.
"I'm back."
The same female voice that she had heard on the phone earlier was heard.
Then, an elegant lady in a long white dress entered the house. She was Deng Xinhua, Deng Xiaoqi's mother.
"Mom, you're finally back."
Deng Xiaoqi's previously expressionless face suddenly blossomed with a smile. She got up and jogged over to hold her arm.
"Auntie Zhou made your favorite fish today. Come, try it!”
"Come, sit down and eat together." Deng Xinhua smiled when she saw her daughter so happy.
"Mom, you haven't washed your hands yet.”
"I'm not washing. Let's eat first."
Deng Xinhua sat down and placed her bag beside her. She smiled as she picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the fish.
"Auntie Zhou's fish is indeed the best. It's ten thousand times better than the ones in the restaurants outside!”
"Xiao Qi, eat more."
After praising her, she put a piece of fish in Deng Xiaoqi's bowl. Then, she stood up and picked up her bag. She hesitated for a moment.
"You eat first. Mommy will go and change her clothes first.”
After saying that, she quickly walked into the bedroom.
"It's just a meal. Why are you changing your clothes?”Deng Xiaoqi put down her chopsticks, feeling a little strange.
"Um, I can't have dinner with you today. I have a business meeting today. It's very important to discuss the contract today.”
The smile on Deng Xiaoqi's face gradually disappeared again. She stood up and looked in the direction of the master bedroom. After a moment of silence, she said,
"How often do you come back? Don't you even have time to eat?”
At this moment, there was no trace of joy in her voice.
"This is very important. Let me tell you. If this deal is successful, I can earn a lot of money…"
Deng Xiaoqi didn't want to listen anymore. She turned around and quickly returned to her bedroom. She closed the door, leaving only the sound in the room.
"You're so good at spending money now. If I don't earn money, how can I support you? I'll treat you to dinner when I'm done…"
As she spoke, Deng Xinhua changed her clothes and went out. However, she realized that Deng Xiaoqi, who was at the dining table, had disappeared. Her voice could not help but stop abruptly.
"Where's Xiaoqi?" She asked the cook.
"Let's go in."
Deng Xinhua was about to enter the house when her phone rang.
After answering the call, she said a few words. Then, she gave up the idea of entering the house and only shouted into the house,
"Xiao Qi, I really have something to do now. Eat well. I'll leave first.”
After saying that, she went out.
