"I want to sit for a while longer." Mo Chengyu replied.

Firstly, Shen Xiyao is here, and secondly, it is really rare to have such a quiet environment. I don’t have to pretend and can stay for a while longer.

"The environment here is really great, and it seems like the pace of life has slowed down here." Mo Chengyu glanced at the stars in the sky, then looked at the lights from the city in the distance, and felt very comfortable.

"Yes, it's a place where people can calm down." Shen Xiyao looked at Mo Chengyu and asked, "Are you on a business trip to collect debts? What was the result?"

"Fortunately, I got a lot of bad debts that the company had already recorded, and my father said he would give me half of the commission."

"Really? You're amazing! Keep it up. With more achievements you can slowly climb up the ladder."

"hope so."

"I forgot to ask you last time, how is your mania now?"

"I haven't done it again since the last time I did it." Mo Chengyu said slowly and seriously, "In fact, there are triggers every time I do it. Now that I have truly let it go, those original triggers can no longer stimulate me."

"Have you really let it go? That's great. People should look forward. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'If something can be taken away, it's not yours. If something is yours, it can never be taken away.'"

After listening to her, Mo Chengyu smiled knowingly and said, "I find that every time you speak, you make sense. Although you are young, you speak like a life mentor."

"I don't dare to be a life mentor. I just pretend to be profound and comfort others occasionally."

Mo Chengyu smiled approvingly after hearing this, and then just looked at her, watching her look up at the stars in the sky, and looking at her profile from his perspective.

You can also see her eyes, which seem brighter than the stars in the sky, very pure and clean.

"By the way, didn't I owe you the salary for cooking for me? Can I pay it off with something?" Mo Chengyu asked.

"Ah?" Shen Xiyao was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Didn't you treat Xuanxuan and me to dinner last time?"

"It was just a meal." Mo Chengyu took out the jade bracelet he bought for her from his pocket, but he couldn't say that he bought it specifically for her, so he could only lie, "Didn't I go out to collect a debt this time? A family didn't have the money to pay back, so they gave me a bracelet in exchange. I was just wondering what to do with it, and I happened to meet you today, so I'll give it to you?"

Shen Xiyao took it and opened it to look. Although she didn't understand these jade pieces, she could tell from the color that it was very valuable.

"Isn't this expensive? I can't accept it." Shen Xiyao quickly returned it to him, "Since it's a payment to you, you can keep it or sell it in the market."

"It's not expensive. Here's the invoice." Mo Chengyu asked the clerk to alter the invoice. The fake one was very realistic. "The other party really didn't have the money to pay, but I kept asking for the debt, so he gave me this to get rid of me."

Three thousand yuan?

"How could this bracelet only cost three thousand yuan?" No matter how naive Shen Xiyao was, she would never believe it.

"As a payment, the value will definitely be much lower than the original value. Anyway, this bracelet is estimated to be worth this much now." Mo Chengyu said seriously, "You cooked for me at my place before, and it was your encouragement that helped me get back on my feet. This salary is also my way of thanking you. Will you accept it?"

After saying that, Mo Chengyu looked at Shen Xiyao nervously. This was the first gift he gave her. If they couldn't become boyfriend and girlfriend in the future, it might also be the only one. He was afraid that Shen Xiyao would refuse.

"It's really a payment, and I'm just very grateful to you. I really don't mean anything else."

Seeing Shen Xiyao hesitating, Mo Chengyu hurriedly added another explanation.

Since she said she would not fall in love during college, he would not give her any psychological burden and deliberately kept a distance.

I'm afraid that she'll become very sensitive after noticing it, and then I'll lose my friendship, which would be troublesome.

"Okay then." Seeing that Mo Chengyu was so sincere, Shen Xiyao took it again, "I'll take it, thank you."

Seeing that she accepted it, Mo Chengyu was really happy. He felt that he had never been so happy since he was a child.

"Second Master Mo, when is your birthday?"

Mo Chengyu was still immersed in his own joy when he suddenly heard Shen Xiyao's question again. He was stunned for a moment. She asked him his birthday?

"You asked me about my birthday?"

"Yes, I can't accept your gift for nothing. When it's your birthday, I'll prepare a birthday present for you."

Mo Chengyu really didn't expect this. He was very happy to give her this jade bracelet, but he didn't expect that there would be a give-and-take. However...

"My birthday is at the end of the year, which happens to be when you have winter break."

"Your birthday is so young?"

"Yes, a few days before the Chinese New Year." Mo Chengyu's eyes dimmed a little when he said this, and then he said, "You don't have to celebrate my birthday. I never celebrate my birthday."

"You never celebrate your birthday. Why?"

How could he, a young master from a wealthy family, not celebrate his birthday?

"Because... my mother died of complications during childbirth, and my birthday is the anniversary of her death. Plus, Chinese New Year is coming up in a few days. Maybe it's because of the festive atmosphere, but after my family went to my mother's tombstone to pay respect, we didn't feel like doing anything else, so..."

"I'm sorry, I don't know..."

Suddenly they talked about Mo Chengyu's sad story. Shen Xiyao felt very sorry and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Mo Chengyu quickly smiled and said, "It's okay, but I heard you said you would give me a birthday present. You can't go back on your word."

He was looking forward to receiving a gift from Shen Xiyao. Even if it was just a leaf, he would treasure it carefully.

"Well, don't worry about this, I will definitely prepare it for you." Shen Xiyao looked up at the stars in the sky and said, "You must have heard of it, right? It is said that when people die, they will turn into stars in the sky. Your mother is watching you in the sky now, and my father is watching me in the sky now."

Shen Xiyao just kept looking at the stars in the sky, but Mo Chengyu was not in the mood to look at the stars, so he just kept looking at her.

"You keep talking about your father, but I don't think you've ever mentioned your mother." Mo Chengyu asked carefully.

"My mom?" Shen Xiyao said slowly, "I don't even remember what she looked like. She ran away with someone when I was very young. My dad raised me since I was a child. He raised me all by himself and it was so hard every day. At that time, I thought that when I grew up, I would make a lot of money to be filial to him. Unfortunately... my biggest regret is that I couldn't let my dad enjoy a day of happiness and he couldn't see me grow up."

Speaking of this, Shen Xiyao couldn't help but shed tears. Her father taught her to be kind since she was a child, and she always remembered it.

But in the end, her father did such a stupid thing for her...
