Not Skipping a Day Chapter 8

At this point, the man finally believed what Noah said.

Noah didn't know how this incident would be spread by those who had had a grudge against him. Maybe when they gathered together to drink, everyone would bring up the name "Noah" and mock him with a "stupid idiot" and then laugh together. But he knew that this chaotic past that Mason looked down on was really cleared up.

If you want to fight or punish someone, you can always find a reason. Today I will find a reason that annoys me, and tomorrow I will go to your place to save my face and vent my anger. It will never end. A smile to end grudges does not exist between high school students. If you want to unilaterally withdraw from this game of fighting and end the past grudges, you must pay a price - including unnecessary blood, including the words of others, "Noah is a big idiot."

At the beginning of winter, the air in the north was very dry. One morning when washing his face, Mason even had a nosebleed. This was an old problem. Basically, when this season comes, he can't touch his nose. He took out two pieces of paper to plug his nose and walked out with his head held high.

"What's wrong with you?" Cheng Xu, who was putting on his shoes, vaguely saw his unusual posture and wanted to come over to check it out with concern, but on the way he accidentally tripped over the network cable on the ground, making a series of clanging sounds.

"Be careful, be careful." Mason said repeatedly.

Cheng Xu is highly myopic, but he refuses to wear glasses for a long time because his eyes will become deformed. He never wears glasses unless it is necessary. Mason also admires him very much. He can overcome being tripped by various things eight times a day.

"It's okay. The air is too dry."

Cheng Xu said he was going to a company to do research, so he picked up his schoolbag and went out early. Before he left, Mason threw him a piece of bread and asked him to eat it on the way.

Today, a senior student asked him to help guide an undergraduate student's smart car team. He said that his junior student had asked him out several times, but he was too busy recently and had no time, so he had to ask him for help. He changed his clothes and was about to go over when he received a call from his junior student. The junior student said that they had a dinner party last night and might have had a stomachache. Now they are all in the hospital receiving intravenous drips. He asked if he could guide him another day.

Mason naturally agreed, asked a few more questions with concern, and ended the call after making sure that they were fine.

The trip was canceled at the last minute. Mason had spent a week working on a paper for submission, and now he didn't want to go to the lab anymore. He cleaned the dormitory while listening to music, and carefully fixed the dropped network cable. After that, there was really nothing to do, so he thought about it and bought a ticket to go home.

Because he originally thought he would stay at school for two days, he lent his car to someone else on Friday.

Zhou Hui was surprised to see him coming back: "Didn't you say you wouldn't come back? Have you eaten yet?"

"I ate. I was busy at first, but then everything was fine, so I came back."

Zhou Hui came up and took the things from his hand: "What did you buy?"

"humidifier."

Zhou Hui frowned when she heard this, but Mason quickly said before she could: "I know there is one at home. I'll put another one in your room. The weather has been too dry recently."

Zhou Hui glared at him and scolded him for spending money recklessly again.

Mason smiled, changed into slippers, looked at the empty house, and asked curiously: "Where are my dad and Amelia?"

"I sent them to your grandmother's house. I just finished the general cleaning. There is too much dust in the house this season. When the heating is on, I feel uncomfortable, not to mention them." Zhou Hui took the coat that Mason had just taken off, pinched a sleeve and said in disgust, "Oh, look, your cuffs are dirty."

"How could that be?" Mason poured himself a glass of water. "I just washed it and wore it for only two days."

"Then you must not have rubbed the cuffs last time you washed the clothes. The cuffs and collars must be rubbed separately with soap. If you just throw them into the washing machine, they will definitely not be clean. I will wash them for you later."

Mason drank a large glass of water to quench his thirst. Listening to the sound of the washing machine spinning, he helplessly put his hand on Zhou Hui's shoulder, took away the coat she disliked, and pushed her to the sofa: "Come on, come on, I'll go back and wash it myself, you take a break. I'm leaving tomorrow, and you can't wash it now."

"You can't wash it clean, so I washed it for you and put it on the heater to dry overnight. You are so busy at school, why don't you just wash it yourself..."

The two argued for a long time, but Mason still couldn't convince Zhou Hui, so he could only watch her pick up her coat, take out the things in her pocket, put them on the coffee table, and go into the bathroom.

"Oh, by the way, last time your uncle said he would let you go when you come back. Yikan is in his third year of high school, and he said he wants to participate in independent enrollment. I remember you helped the independent enrollment of your school, right? Go and talk to him." Zhou Hui leaned forward, her hands still covered with foam, "Why don't you go now? It happens that No. 1 Middle School is on holiday today, and Yikan is at home."

"Later," Mason fixed the humidifier and yawned, "I'll take a nap first. I'm sleepy."

Mason was not one of those people who had a lot of energy. He was used to taking a nap, even if it was just for a quarter of an hour. After sleeping for a while, he was woken up by the sound of a door closing. This is how people with light sleep are. Even though there is a door between them, the slightest sound seems to be infinitely magnified in their ears.

"Brother? Why are you back?" Amelia looked at the man walking towards him in pajamas in surprise. After he realized what was happening, he quickly stuffed a bag in his hand into the shoe cabinet.

"You don't want me to come back?" Mason pretended not to notice her attempt to cover up her mistake and asked calmly, "Why did you come back by yourself? Where's Dad?"

"Still at grandma's house." Amelia whispered. She squatted down to change her slippers, her short hair hanging down, covering half of her face. When she stood up again, her face was already slightly red.

Mason stood in front of her, staring at her face for a few seconds, and suddenly reached out to open the cabinet door. Amelia reacted quickly and pressed the cabinet door, shouting anxiously: "Hey, hey, hey, you can't look!"

Mason laughed at her cautious look. Actually, he could tell what she bought by calculating the date, so he just teased her a little. He followed the girl's wishes, kept her mysterious, and stopped paying attention to the paper bag.

After laughing, Mason suddenly found that Amelia was wearing a pink down jacket he had never seen before.

"Did you buy new clothes?" He gently pulled Amelia's body and turned her around. "They look pretty good."

The down jacket is slightly longer than the short style, in the shape of an A, with a fluffy circle at the bottom, and a small pink pompom on the tip of the hat, which is very cute.

Amelia glanced at him and stammered, "hmm."

Zhou Hui came out at this time, and seeing the clothes on Amelia, she immediately asked: "Didn't you go to grandma's house? Did you go shopping?"

Amelia looked at Zhou Hui, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Zhou Hui was also very satisfied with this dress. She never minded the trouble of washing and liked to buy light-colored clothes for Amelia so that she could wear them like a little princess.

"It just so happened that it suddenly got cold after noon today. I told you that you didn't wear enough clothes, so I wanted to bring you some clothes. But then I thought that you didn't go out and it wouldn't be cold to take a taxi back home, so I didn't go. If you go shopping, you should buy some clothes. It would be troublesome if you catch a cold."

Amelia responded with a "hmm", took off her down jacket and hung it on the hanger, and took off her white cotton jacket. She glanced at Mason, and did not go back to the house, but slowly went to the living room to sit. Mason looked at the pink down jacket in front of him, and then looked at Amelia's expression that pretended to glance over here unintentionally from time to time, and was sure that there was something strange.

Before he could think about it, he suddenly felt that the hanger was a little empty. He took out Amelia's down jacket and cotton jacket and found that the coat he had hung there was gone. He looked again and found that not only the coat, but also the clothes he had worn back were hung on the heater.

Mason didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Mom, why did you wash everything for me? What am I going to wear when I go out?"

"Just find another one," Zhou Hui shouted from the kitchen, "I'll wash it for you so you can save some trouble when you go back."

Mason had no choice but to silently hug Zhou Hui, who had just come out with a fruit plate, picked up a piece of apple and put it in his mouth, then went into the house and picked out another set of clothes.

He didn't have many clothes of his own, and the ones he usually wore were all left at school, so he didn't bring any of them back this time. He rummaged through the closet for a long time before putting together a set of clothes that he thought were okay.
