99 Very silly and very naive (1/2)
Gu Jingman and Mo Wen sat next to each other near the parapet of a western restaurant with a relaxed ambience on the twenty-eighth floor of the hotel. With a glance down, one would have a view of the bustling streets.
”What should we eat?” Gu Jingman asked while holding the menu, after she had ordered the two glasses of fruit juices.
”I've just eaten. You just order something for yourself,” Mo Wen slumped himself into the soft comfortable seat to take in the view of busy streets outside. Sitting at that spot, one would have a taste of the bird's eye view.
”Don't you know that it is rude to refuse someone like that when having meals with them?” Gu Jingman threw the menu aside and glared at Mo Wen as it was obvious that she had no intention of having a meal either.
”I am really worried if you would be able to get a girlfriend. You don't even pretend to be a gentleman when having a meal with a beautiful woman,” Gu Jingman shook her head and sighed, looking disappointed and yet impatient with his development.
”A beautiful woman?” Mo Wen glanced around before looking at Gu Jingman and asked, ”You?”
”Talk back to me again and see if I would strip you and throw you into the banquet hall?” Gu Jingman squinted her eyes while her lips curled up to a dangerous smile.
The corner of Mo Wen's mouth twitched as this woman might really do it. However, he didn't think that Gu Jingman had the ability to strip and throw him out.
”Don't dare, right? Keep a low profile when you are interacting with me in the future. You are not showing any courtesy and respect at all. Still talking back to a girl at such age, even I am grieving for you,” Seeing that Mo Wen went silent, Gu Jingman's lips curled into a satisfied smile.
”How long are you going to stay in Charm City? If I am in a good mood, I would be able to bring you around for two days and show you the world,” Gu Jingman stirred the fruit juice with a spoon.
She found this brother whom she knew from the internet relatively amusing. She thought that he was simple in the past, but after meeting for a few times, she found him to be not only simple but also very silly, always a little dull. Why else was he surprised after meeting her? No curiosity, no flattery, seemed like a fool instead.
If Mo Wen knew that Gu Jingman had evaluated him to be very simple, very silly and foolish, his expressions would definitely be very interesting.
”What's your name?”
Mo Wen basically had no interest in allowing a sister, who had felt so good about herself, to bring him around to see the whatever world.
”Before asking for someone's name, aren't you supposed to introduce yourself first? I still don't know your name yet,” Gu Jingman looked askance at Mo Wen. She still didn't know Mo Wen's name, she only knew his internet nickname as Mo Wen.
”I told you before – Mo Wen.”
Mo Wen furrowed his brows. Could such a beautiful girl have some problem with her intelligence? He had already told her that his name was Mo Wen in the past and yet she was asking again.
”You are really called Mo Wen?”
Gu Jingman widened her eyes and stared at Mo Wen curiously.
She used to think in the past that Mo Wen was telling her not to ask, obviously she had misunderstood him.
Mo Wen's lips twitched a little and just kept his mouth shut, reluctant to comment further.
”I'm Gu Jingman. You will call me Sister Gu, understand?” Gu Jingman said with a wide smile.
Suddenly, a ringing tone resounded. Mo Wen touched his pocket seemingly out of conditioned reflex. After all, today was different from the past; he had a phone in his pocket.
”It's mine,” Gu Jingman glared at Mo Wen amusingly.
This brother was really too eccentric, he couldn't even identify his own ringtone.
