you are a star

When the car drove out of the range of the old bungalow, Li Dongbai saw Chu Mo's cold face in the light and shadow from the corner of his eye.

Then, turning around to look at her openly, he asked, "Will you really go to my house tomorrow night?"

Chu Mo held the steering wheel, looked at the road ahead, and said flatly, "I have already promised my aunt."

Li Dongbai heard the words of aunt, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising, but he held it back, and then he said: "My mother hasn't cooked for a long time, she cooks good dishes, you will definitely like."

Li Dongbai said to himself: "Actually, my mother didn't know any cooking skills before she married my father, and my father obviously had a servant at home, but he often cooked food for my mother when he was free. Later, I My father passed away, and my mother learned the dishes my father cooked before his death, one by one, and then the cooking skills became very good."

That's Ms. Bai's way of seeing things and thinking about others. Li Dongbai knew it in his heart since he was a child, but he never pointed it out.

Chu Mo turned his head to look at Li Dongbai, and remained silent.

"My dad, you may not know, he was a navy man who died under the gun of a pirate sniper."

Chu Mo was driving the car, and the red light was on in front of him. At the moment of braking, the sound of the wind whizzing by, accompanied by the sharp sound of bullets tearing through the air, could be heard.

"Mr. Li is a hero." Chu Mo said.

Li Dongbai looked at her in the bright and dark light, and nodded after a while. He is indeed a hero, but Li Dongbai also blamed him for not being a good father before.

After sending Chu Mo back to the empty city, Li Dongbai went downstairs, and the driver had already parked the car outside the empty city.

As soon as he got into the car, he said to the driver, "Go back to Li Garden."

After the car left, a taxi parked in the parking lot slowly lowered the window, and the man looked darkly in the direction Li Dongbai left.

……

Chu Mo sat on the sofa in front of the french windows, recalling what Li Dongbai said in the car in her mind, she got up and poured a glass of red wine, walked to the french windows and stood there.

——My dad was in the navy and died under the gun of a pirate sniper.

Chu Mo drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

She sat back on the sofa, took out her laptop, and after an hour, she went to take a shower and go to bed.

It was raining patter outside the window.

It was like going back to that night 21 years ago.

She was abducted to a boat, where she saw that terrifying man with dark and greedy eyes.

After a few days of peace, she thought that she would be sold to an unknown place like other abducted children.

But in the middle of the night, when it started to rain outside, the man took her away from the pile of children sleeping together and threw her into a small, dark room.

Her screams and terrified voice seemed to pour into the darkness, and in the flickering skylight, the man who was going to rape her was frightened by a gunshot and fell to the ground.

The bullet barely passed by her ear, and almost hit the man's hand holding her hair.

He got up like shit, cursing something in a foreign language.

She was lying in the corner of the cabin, looking out from the round window, a navy in white uniform on a warship.

The sound of breaking the door made her scalp numb, and then a neat line of navy came in and took away that sinister and frightening man.

Behind a group of people in white military uniforms, a tall and burly man walked in, took off his coat, wrapped her in ragged clothes, and hugged her with one hand.

"Good boy, don't be afraid."

The deck was bathed in the sun, and she, who was less than six years old, was carried to a bright and warm place by a man. She shivered and couldn't speak a word.

I just remember that the man used a sentence in Chinese that she didn't understand at the time: "The Li family will protect you."

After that, she was sent to the orphanage run by the Li family in country M, and became one of the children taken in by the Li family.

Mr. Li is a hero and her benefactor.

……

When Li Dongbai returned to Li Garden, Ms. Bai hadn't come back yet, so he went back to his room to take a shower, and when he came out to drink water, Ms. Bai finally came back.

When Ms. Bai saw him, she froze for a moment, "Why are you back? Are you not with Chu Mo?"

Li Dongbai put down his water glass and came over, pulled Ms. Bai to sit on the sofa together, and said, "I came back just because of Chu Mo's matter."

"What's the matter?" Ms. Bai put the bag aside.

Li Dongbai looked at his mother seriously, and said solemnly: "Mom, I want to be serious about chasing Chu Mo."

"I'm serious," Li Dongbai said without hesitation, "Different from the women I used to piss you off, Chu Mo is not a woman I just play around with. I like her very much."

Ms. Bai smiled and said, "I can see it."

"I originally planned to let you meet her after I caught up with her, but I didn't expect to see her by such a coincidence today. You still want to invite her to your house for dinner."

"Why, you still don't want me to invite her?" Ms. Bai glared at him.

"How could I not be happy? I just have Li Ruo's lessons learned. I must first listen to your thoughts. If you find that you don't like Chu Mo and neglect her in the future, I won't bring her here tomorrow. I don't want Chu Mo to come. A little bit unhappy."

Li Dongbai's earnestness made Ms. Bai also become serious.

but--

"Why don't I like Chu Mo?"

"Didn't you expect me to find a woman of the right family?"

In case his mother is enthusiastic about Chu Mo tomorrow, and later finds out about Chu Mo's background, he has an opinion on her. He doesn't want such a poor treatment to happen to Chu Mo.

Of course.

This has nothing to do with whether he pursues Chu Mo or not. Back then, he could give up Li Ruo, but Chu Mo, he would never give up.

After listening for a long time, Ms. Bai realized that what Li Dongbai was going to say was that Chu Mo was not a match for Li's family.

She couldn't help laughing: "I said that you are well-matched to prevent you from finding those celebrity models. I said it on purpose. Besides, with our Li family's family background, we don't need to be well-matched to show off, nor do we need the support of the other family."

"Besides," Ms. Bai glanced at him, "I don't think Chu Mo is interested in you, is it? You don't know if you can catch up with her."

Li Dongbai was stabbed by his old mother, and his lungs hurt from anger.

"Didn't I prepare in advance, I can't wrong Chu Mo."

Ms. Bai gave him a reassuring smile: "Then don't worry, I really don't value your mother's family background, what I value is her character and character."

Li Dong nodded, "And mom, Chu Mo is an orphan. She grew up in an orphanage. Don't ask her where she is from like today, and don't ask her parents."

He didn't want Chu Mo to feel uncomfortable.

Ms. Bai's smile gradually disappeared, "Orphan?"
