Chapter 540  : Wei Keli Again

“I had always liked Uncle,” Tan Mo said softly.

Qin Muye jumped in shock, but still did not forget to lower her voice and ask, “Since when was that?”

“Actually…it wasn’t for very long. I was still young before and did not think about such things,” Tan Mo said. “It was on the day of my 18th birthday. After midnight, Uncle set off a fireworks display for me. At that time, uncle was standing below my dormitory, and he hid and did not come out.

“The moment I saw uncle walk out from the shadows, my heart rate suddenly quickened, as if I had fallen sick.” When she talked about it, Tan Mo could not help but recall the scene.

That scene was engraved on her heart.

It had always been so vivid, as if it had just happened the day before.

Tan Mo could not help but cover her chest with her hands.

Her heart rate had quickened.

“At that time, I didn’t really understand what was going on. But after that, every time I was with Uncle, and when we were close, my heart rate would become very fast,” Tan Mo said softly. “I had always interacted with Uncle closely, and things only changed later on.

“Actually, for a period of time, it was not only Uncle who avoided me. When I found that there was something wrong with me, I also avoided Uncle. But the more I avoided him, the more I missed him, and I figured we might as well meet.

“I was thinking that I would hide my feelings carefully. I was also afraid that after Uncle knew about them, he would not be willing to see me anymore. He saw me as his niece, and I had other intentions toward him. I was afraid that he would find me…disgusting.”

“Why would you think that way?” Qin Muye was shocked and quickly placed her arms around Tan Mo’s shoulders.

Why would Tan Mo think so badly of herself?

“Until yesterday, I knew that Uncle would get married sooner or later. When I thought of Uncle dating and marrying another woman, I was very upset. I was still thinking before that this day would come sooner or later. Uncle’s energy would be placed on his own family and the time spent with me would not be as much as before. I had even thought about it. When there were festivities, I will treat it as greeting my elders and be able to have a look at Uncle.

“But I realized yesterday that these thoughts were not things that I can do anymore,” Tan Mo said in a low voice. “Just thinking about how Uncle would date and marry in the future got me very upset. If that day really came, I would certainly go far away to hide. I didn’t even know how I would be when the time came.

“I was upset yesterday and when I passed by a convenience store, I bought a few cans of RIO to drink,” Tan Mo said softly.

“With your poor alcohol tolerance, you still bought alcohol to drink?” Qin Muye looked Tan Mo up and down.

This lass didn’t drink, and then because of Wei Zhiqian…

Tan Mo bowed her head. “I was upset! Moreover, I didn’t think that those things that seemed like fruit juices would get me drunk.

“I was drunk in front of uncle…” Tan Mo wanted to die of embarrassment when she recalled what had happened. “I wanted him to guarantee that he would not find a girlfriend and would not get married.”

Qin Muye: “…”

You are really something, sister!

“When I woke up, Uncle told me what had happened when I was drunk.” Tan Mo had omitted quite a bit of the details. “Uncle probably was afraid that I was too upset and told me that he liked me. I was of course overjoyed and admitted then that I also liked him.

“Although our relationship changed, and I was not used to it, I was happy because Uncle likes me.” Tan Mo’s smile had never been so bright before.

Even when she scored full marks for her college entrance examinations, Tan Mo’s expression had been calm, as if it was natural that she would get a perfect score.

It was the first time Qin Muye had seen Tan Mo this happy.

SIGH! Qin Muye grumbled, “I thought that it was brother Zhiqian who had bluffed you. You are young and had never liked someone before. Plus he had a lot of tricks and I thought that you fell into one.

“It turns out that your feelings are mutual. You both had a one-sided love for each other.” Qin Muye still thought to herself that it was shocking.

“Your description is very apt,” Tan Mo said. “Will you consider coming to the Department of Chinese Literature?”

“You are teasing me now,” Qin Muye said. “With my poor grades, how can I go to the Department of Chinese Literature? Forget it.”

Tan Mo was not her usual self.

Her mind was full of the thought that she was someone with a boyfriend.

Which had caused Tan Mo’s efficiency to be greatly reduced in all three labs.

She had drunk alcohol the night before and had been upset and had not had the time to edit the scripts.

She still had to continue editing her work.

Wei Zhiqian called her to let her know that he was already waiting at the school entrance.

Tan Mo then quickly grabbed her bag and walked toward the school entrance.

She did not expect that someone would call her just when she exited the school, “Tan Mo.”

The voice was very familiar, but the way it addressed her was foreign.

It was Wei Keli.

Wei Keli had always called her Mo Mo in the past.

He had embarrassed himself many times, and Tan Mo would not acknowledge him anymore.

But Wei Keli still insisted on calling her Mo Mo.

Could it be that because they had had a disagreement this morning Wei Keli called her this way?

Tan Mo felt that it was quite good.

She could not tolerate Wei Keli calling her Mo Mo.

She found it disgusting.

“What is it?” Tan Mo frowned and showed her impatience.

She didn’t want to delay her meeting with Uncle.

“I wasn’t finished with our talk this morning,” Wei Keli said.

“What else do you want to say?” Tan Mo felt that Wei Keli had said enough.

“I know that you still mind about what happened with Yuan Keqing,” Wei Keli said in a low voice.

Tan Mo: “…”

No, you did not know.

But Wei Keli was also heartless.

He usually called her Sister Keqing, but now that Yuan Keqing was not around, Wei Keli would not acknowledge her and called her by her name in full.

It sounded cold.

“I do not mind. I don’t think about it at all,” Tan Mo said coldly. “I only want you to stop harassing me about this matter anymore.

She took a deep breath. “No matter if it was Yuan Keqing or someone else with you, it has nothing to do with me. How can I make you understand? I do not care. I do not care about you and naturally do not care what you do with someone else.”

“Tan Mo, it has come to this, and you can just be honest. How could you not care? In the past, to help me have a good relationship with Qin Murong, you did not mind when Qin Murong targeted you,” Wei Keli said. “I remember the things you have done for me. So even if you are angry now, I will not dispute with you.

“I understand, the deeper the love, the deeper the hate,” Wei Keli said. “So I understand your attitude now.”

Tan Mo: “….”
