Chapter 283: Morbidity and Possessiveness
"???"
In the eyes of Wang Ying, Jiang Mo's mentor Professor Li, and some teachers and students who are relatively familiar with Jiang Mo's character, this scene was very abrupt.
Jiang Mo suddenly walked down the stage as if she had lost her soul, and walked in front of the young man who appeared out of nowhere, and then the young man covered her mouth...
Only Wang Ying and others who were nearby heard Jiang Mo vaguely say something, but it didn't matter anymore.
Why do you use your rough big hands to defile the fairy sister in our piano department!
Wang Ying herself didn't dare to pinch Jiang Mo's face casually, let alone this kind of action, which would be like a man's palm touching her lips...
ohno!
Some boys who had been infatuated with Jiang Mo for a long time felt their hearts tighten instantly.
Let go of our senior sister Jiang!
Wang Ying raised her eyebrows and became very angry. Who allowed you to do this?
But before she could do anything, she saw Jiang Mo blink her eyes and then obediently lean into the young man's arms.
The young man hugged her and kissed her gently on the forehead.
Jiang Mo didn't seem to react, but Wang Ying clearly saw that one of her hands had grasped the corner of the young man's clothes at some point, and was holding it very tightly...
……
"Senior sister..."
Zhou Wang, who had avoided social death on the spot in time, hugged Jiang Mo for a while, then gently patted her back, indicating that this was not an appropriate occasion as there were so many people watching.
Burying his face in Zhou Wang's shoulder and taking a deep breath of his scent, Jiang Mo raised his head and gradually regained sight of other people.
Jiang Mo knew that she had lost her composure just now, and she was a little embarrassed, but only Zhou Wang could see it. In the eyes of others, Jiang Mo's expression was still very indifferent.
"Is this your mentor? Can you introduce him to me?"
The students didn't care, but a female professor who came over to show concern for Zhou Wang was ignored by Jiang Mo, so of course Zhou Wang had to make up for it.
Jiang Mo nodded, turned around and introduced: "Professor Li Wei, the deputy director of our piano department... Teacher Li, this is my husband, Zhou Wang."
There was some commotion among the people nearby. WTF...husband?!
Judging from their previous intimate behavior, everyone knew that their relationship was not simple, but as expected, Jiang Mo could at most say he was a "boyfriend", so what the hell was "husband"?
Li Wei was also stunned for a moment, and looked Zhou Wang up and down. Soon she smiled and nodded at Zhou Wang, "Hello."
"Hello, Teacher Li."
Zhou Wang probably knew that Jiang Mo might not have good relationships with her classmates, but if she continued to move up to this level, she would definitely not face any difficulties in school.
The reason is very simple, because Jiang Mo came in through Ding Yi's relationship, and one of Ding Yi's relatives holds a senior position in the college. Of course, in a place like this, there are too many people with connections, but Zhou Wang believes that Ding Yi's connections are strong enough.
This can be seen from the attitude of the professor downstairs when he greeted Jiang Mo. The fact that Jiang Mo, who is not worldly-wise, can still be treated kindly by the professors is enough to illustrate the problem.
Now that he thinks about it, the reason why Zhou Wang was willing to let Jiang Mo come to Beidu alone was largely because of Ding Yi.
Zhou Wang didn’t know what Ding Yi was thinking deep in her heart, but Ding Yi just had this convincing power, which was her character background that made her different from any other girl, and could be called her “shining point”.
"Student Zhou, why don't you go outside and wait for a while. In theory, our selection activity is not open to the public."
Li Wei looked around and whispered to Zhou Wang, "The dean and the others are also looking over here..."
Zhou Wang listened to the increasingly noisy discussions around him and suddenly understood.
Professor Li Wei was not targeting him, and the main reason for asking him to leave was not because of the so-called "not for external use", but because of Zhou Wang's sudden appearance and Jiang Mo's earth-shattering "husband". At this time, the order in the classroom had become a little chaotic, and his presence seemed to be a bit out of place.
"no problem."
Zhou Wang nodded readily, and just as he was about to turn around, he felt the corner of his clothes being pulled.
After a moment of surprise, he smiled at Jiang Mo and said, "Go to the event with peace of mind. I'll wait for you downstairs."
Jiang Mo had to wait for the results of the program selection to come out, so it would definitely not be appropriate for her to leave at this time, so Zhou Wang said this.
But Jiang Mo still hesitated to speak.
The magical tacit understanding made Zhou Wang know what she was worried about, so Zhou Wang smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't leave today."
Jiang Mo heard this, and a trace of peace appeared in her eyes. She loosened her hand and said softly, "There is still half an hour."
"it is good."
Zhou Wang nodded, turned and left, leaving behind the increasingly intense whispers in the classroom.
……
Near the flower bed downstairs.
Click!
The Zippo co-branded lighter spun in his palm, and Zhou Wang lit a cigarette by imitating Andy Lau's handsome posture in the movie. He replied to Jiang Qingkui's message by the way. Just as he put away his phone, he heard footsteps behind him.
Turning around in surprise, Zhou Wang saw that the girl with a ponytail had followed him without him noticing.
"Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Ying, from Tianjin. I'm Jiang Mo's classmate and roommate, although she rarely lives in the dormitory... I didn't hear you clearly just now, is your last name Zhou or Zhu?"
A pure sports jacket, jeans without a logo, and ordinary white sneakers. The whole outfit would not cost more than 500 yuan, but the girl in front of me has a sunny smile and a graceful temperament, which makes people feel comfortable for some reason.
Looking at the hand stretched out before him, Zhou Wang smiled, shook hands with her and replied, "My last name is Zhou... My full name is Zhou Wang."
He knew very well why the other party suspected that his surname might be "Zhu". Who made the senior sister call out that word?
No normal person would think that way, so Wang Ying probably thought Jiang Mo wanted to call her name...
If Zhou Wang had failed to stop Jiang Mo in time, he might have had to temporarily change his name to "Zhu Ren" to cover it up.
"Zhou Wang, OK, I'll remember it!"
Wang Ying nodded, and then smiled at Zhou Wang, "I'm sorry, I'm just too curious about what kind of person Momo's boyfriend is. Do you mind if I sneak over to chat with you first?"
"do not mind."
Zhou Wang just smiled, and he roughly understood why Jiang Mo became friends with the girl in front of him.
Jiang Mo is the kind of person who seems cold but is actually very timid and kind-hearted inside. Maybe she has changed a little now, but if you have enough enthusiasm and thick-skinnedness, you can get into her heart.
This Wang Ying seems to be the kind of person who is very optimistic and cheerful, and can complement Jiang Mo.
From this point of view, Zhou Wang was still quite grateful to the other party.
If Jiang Mo really showed tendencies such as "world-weariness", having a friend with a personality like Wang Ying by her side could help pull her back to normal.
She needs more "human touch" around her, and this kind of pure friendship will undoubtedly be more contagious.
As for Ding Yi... Let's not talk about whether Ding Yi has enough time to accompany Jiang Mo. First of all, although Jiang Mo is sometimes stupid, it doesn't mean that she has no ability to think. Even if she has never pointed it out, she should be clear that for some reasons, Ding Yi and her can't really open up to each other.
"Hey, may I ask, are you really married?"
Hearing this, Wang Ying, who felt relieved, couldn't help but be curious and asked directly.
"We haven't obtained the marriage certificate yet, but in terms of intimacy, it's not much different from being married."
When the consumption mechanism of [Desire Gold] condensed into the fruit of [Soul Greeting Card], it meant that Jiang Mo had already given everything she had to him.
This is a system certification, which is far more valuable than any secular certificate, so Zhou Wang said this with great calmness.
"I feel it. I can't imagine that with Momo's personality, she can call someone her husband in person... But Zhou Wang, it's been more than half a month since the start of school. Why did you only show up for the first time? Do you know how many suitors Momo has? Aren't you worried that she will be snatched away by others?"
Seeing that Zhou Wang was quite easy-going, Wang Ying boldly asked half-jokingly.
"You're worried, so I'm here, right?"
Zhou Wang smiled and said, "I've been busy lately. Actually, I wanted her to come over when school starts..."
"So you're not a local, what do you do?"
"I guess we're doing business... Jiang Mo and I are both from Yunnan Province."
Zhou Wang seemed very patient and answered each question with a smile.
"Doing business?"
Wang Ying was startled. Seeing Zhou Wang's age, she thought he was still studying like them. When she heard this, her dark eyes turned, "So you are a rich second-generation?"
“An ordinary working-class family starts their own business.”
"Hey, then how did you get Momo? Sorry, I don't mean to belittle you, I just feel, feel..."
Wang Ying asked subconsciously, then realized that she had said something wrong and quickly explained.
"No need to say, I understand. At my age, what can I achieve by starting a business? How can I possibly pursue a girl like Jiang Mo just by being handsome, right?"
Zhou Wang winked at her. "Pfft...yes, yes, that's what I meant. I hope you didn't misunderstand me. But to be honest, you are really handsome!"
"Thank you for the compliment. As for how I managed to win over the senior, the story is a bit complicated. I can only say... I think luck played a big part in it."
Zhou Wang is very self-aware on this point.
He was just an ordinary person among the countless people. If the system had not fallen from the sky, he would not have been able to get Jiang Mo, Su Yajing, Xu Wenxi, or even a girl like Sun Xiningning even if he stood on tiptoe.
"You are very lucky. I feel that no man is worthy of Momo."
Wang Ying sighed and said seriously, "You have to be nice to her. I often see her in a daze. Now that I think about it, maybe she is thinking about you..."
"Thank you for the reminder, I will."
Zhou Wang could tell that the other party was speaking sincerely from Jiang Mo's perspective, so he responded seriously.
Zhou Wang chatted with Wang Ying in the flower bed for more than half an hour, and from her, he also heard more details about the daily life of the senior on campus.
He did not find it tedious, but listened with great interest. It was much more vivid and interesting than Jiang Mo's usual rigid "reports" to him on the phone.
And I don't know if people from Tianjin are naturally good at this, anyway, listening to Wang Ying describe Jiang Mo's daily life, it feels like listening to a crosstalk, and from time to time some jokes can pop out of her mouth, which is quite interesting...
It was not until people started pouring out of the piano room building that Zhou Wang realized that the selection activity was over. He looked back and sure enough, Jiang Mo, who had changed into a white shirt and black skirt again, soon appeared in his sight.
She was not surprised to see Wang Ying and Zhou Wang standing together, she just quickened her pace and walked over.
"How's it going, Momo, have you been chosen?"
Wang Ying came forward and asked with a smile.
"Ah."
"Really?"
Wang Ying was stunned, and then asked incredulously, "Why do you look so unhappy? This is a party hosted by CCTV... Oh my God, Momo, you are going to be famous!"
Wang Ying was much more excited than Jiang Mo. Obviously, even though she was joking beforehand, she didn't expect Jiang Mo to actually be selected.
Undergraduates, graduate students, doctoral students... The Conservatory of Music has a total of more than 2,000 students. It is full of talent, if not geniuses. Among the hundreds of programs reported in the first batch, only a dozen entered today's final selection, but in the end only two programs made it through the siege.
And generally speaking, in order to take care of the majority of people, in theory, solo performances like Jiang Mo's have a lower chance of being selected.
Just like the joke she made with Zhou Wang just now, maybe this school selection was just a formality, and those who would finally be able to step onto the big stage would still be those seniors who had already made their mark in the entertainment industry.
So Wang Ying didn’t care about the results of the selection at all, which is why she sneaked out and came to chat with Zhou Wang first.
Now that she heard that Jiang Mo was actually selected, she felt unbelievable.
Zhou Wang didn't find it strange. Not to mention that Jiang Mo did have this ability, plus Ding Yi's invisible influence behind the scenes...
Although no one knows what she thinks of her senior deep down in her heart, for now, she really has nothing to say about Jiang Mo. She has taken care of every aspect of Jiang Mo's study and life in Beidu and has not made Zhou Wang worry at all.
"But I... don't really want to go."
Different from Wang Ying's happiness, Jiang Mo seemed a little depressed.
"Ah, why?"
Wang Ying couldn't understand.
“Rehearsals…take too much time.”
Jiang Mo said this and glanced at Zhou Wang.
"?"
Wang Ying was a little confused when she heard this, because Jiang Mo had worked very hard before, and it was impossible for her to come up with an excuse like rehearsal took up too much time.
Only Zhou Wang understood. If he hadn't come to Beidu at this time, she wouldn't care. But now, she was worried that because she was selected for this program, she would be forced to spend less time with him...
After all, Jiang Mo should be able to guess that he couldn't stay in Beidu for too long.
Zhou Wang couldn't make any more promises. In fact, Jiang Qingkui had already reminded him implicitly that he should go to Shanghai first to make some preparations for the charity gala next month.
Instead of running to Baicheng and then to Beidu, just for two women...
The latter sentence was not said by Jiang Qingkui, but Zhou Wang could feel that it was what she really wanted to express.
From the secretary's perspective, as a boss, one should focus on business, so there is nothing wrong with Jiang Qingkui's suggestion, it can even be said to be completely correct... but he chose not to listen.
"No matter what, since you've been selected, that's a huge happy event. I'll shout in the group now and call Cindy, Brother Jie and the others. Let's not wait until the evening, let's go out for a big meal at noon to celebrate!"
Wang Ying, who didn't understand, didn't bother herself. She turned around, took out her cell phone and spoke excitedly.
Jiang Mo held her back and shook her head, "No, Sister Ying, I won't go tonight either."
"Ah, that won't do. We agreed that you would come with us this time to join in the fun. And Momo, if you don't go, the performance list we reported to the restaurant won't match up. It's such a last-minute event, where can I find another keyboard player?"
Wang Ying hurriedly tried to persuade him, but when she saw Jiang Mo just shaking his head, she suddenly realized the real reason why Jiang Mo didn't want to go, so she looked at Zhou Wang.
"Zhou Wang, I know you guys are supposed to have a date today, but please, can you lend us Momo for a day? To be precise, it's not a day, just enough time for dinner. This performance is related to the life and death of our band..."
"Speak slower, I can't understand you."
Confused Zhou Wang said helplessly.
So Wang Ying told Zhou Wang the whole story from the beginning again.
It turned out that Wang Ying and several alumni of the Huaxia Conservatory of Music had formed a band. After all, it was a conservatory of music, so there were actually many such bands or small groups for fun...
Jiang Mo was a non-staff member of the band of which Wang Ying was the lead singer. She originally did not like to get involved in such things, but Wang Ying believed that playing music would be more interesting with like-minded partners, so she forced Jiang Mo in.
In addition to playing music together on a regular basis, they also take on some commercial performances, resident singing and other jobs outside, which not only make money but also accumulate performance experience.
And tonight, they happened to have a performance for the opening of a western restaurant. Jiang Mo had originally agreed to go with them after Wang Ying's constant nagging, but now Jiang Mo had changed his mind, and Wang Ying was of course not happy about it.
"I see, but I don't quite understand why you say this performance is related to the survival of your band?"
"Because they pay a lot of money, everyone in our band has to earn their living expenses on their own. If I can't help everyone make money, this band will have to disband right here..."
Wang Ying answered honestly.
Zhou Wang found it funny but suddenly realized that most of the people who study music come from well-off families, but there are always exceptions. At least judging from Wang Ying's simple outfit, she should be from a relatively ordinary family.
Zhou Wang suddenly understood why Jiang Mo chose to take the bus to school and changed into her old clothes...
After experiencing family changes, the cold-tempered senior also understood the sufferings of the world. Perhaps she was carefully maintaining this unexpected friendship with Wang Ying in this obscure way?
Zhou Wang glanced at Jiang Mo. From her hesitant expression, he knew that his guess was correct.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Wang smiled and said, "If I can go too, then I have no objection. Otherwise, I can only say sorry to you."
"You can go, of course you can go!"
Wang Ying nodded quickly, "It's settled then. I'll go meet up with the others first, and we'll help Momo celebrate at noon!"
Wang Ying, fearing that Zhou Wang would go back on his word, quickly took her phone and went to the side to call for help. Jiang Mo, who had just come to her senses, looked at Zhou Wang and whispered:
"No need to be like this, I...it's okay."
"I'm going to spend the whole day with you anyway, so it doesn't matter where we are. Since you promised Wang Ying, there's no need to break the contract."
Zhou Wang waved his hands and smiled, indicating that he didn't care. But in his heart, he was thinking that he would wait for him to personally verify it. If there were no messy people in this band, it would always be good to let Jiang Mo participate in such group activities more...
He was still a little worried whether Wang Ying alone could pull back the vague sense of being apart from the world in Jiang Mo and let her return to normal life.
Jiang Mo must have some psychological problems now.
But Zhou Wang was not sure how much this had to do with him. He just felt that he could monopolize the senior sister's splendor in the night, but could not let her splendor in the daytime belong only to him. That was too unfair.
She is also a living person, and she should have her own part of life.
Entering the Conservatory of Music and the Academy of Fine Arts would have been a good start, but he was worried about his senior’s current condition.
"Um……"
Jiang Mo naturally listened to Zhou Wang unconditionally. She nodded and moved closer, then raised her hand and grabbed Zhou Wang's fingers, her quiet eyes always staying on him.
Not far away, among the teachers and students passing by on the boulevard, there were still a lot of strange looks cast at him from time to time. Zhou Wang smacked his lips and suddenly wanted to change his mind.
Or maybe just forget it, go to a useless school, and just bring the senior sister home and hide her there, making her your own...
Who can blame such a senior sister? Maybe she is mentally ill, but the absolute dependence she shows in the details really makes people feel satisfied... and it is a satisfaction that Zhou Wang cannot get from any other woman.
Oops, headache.
