The time of the city

Chapter 212 Go with Gu Bai

Mo Yu turned around and saw Gu Bai standing behind her with a faint smile on his face.

Mo Yu was filled with annoyance and didn't want to pay any attention to him. She quickly raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Xiaoyu, I know you were forced." Gu Bai's voice sounded again.

Mo Yu's footsteps suddenly stopped, her body stiffened slightly, she turned around and looked straight at Gu Bai.

"It wasn't you who seduced Ni Jiamu, it was him who pestered you and forced you. When we first started dating, he asked us to break up. After that, whenever he saw us together, he would go crazy. I should have thought of it earlier." A bitter smile appeared on Gu Bai's face.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Mo Yu asked coldly, her voice still a little hoarse from sobbing.

Gu Bai took a step forward: "Come with me, Xiaoyu. I have already prepared everything for studying abroad. I am not asking you to be with me again. Once we are abroad, you will be free and you won't have to be forced by Ni Jiamu."

"You're about to go abroad, yet you come to try on wedding dresses with Chen Xiangqin, and now you want to take your ex-girlfriend with you. You're such a scumbag! And you can't fight Ni Jiamu, and you can't take me with you."

Gu Bai hurriedly explained, his tone tinged with anxiety. "She and I were just accompanying her sister to try on wedding dresses. I didn't tell her clearly because I was afraid she'd stop me from going abroad. She's so controlling, so I did it all in secret. Xiaoyu, you can do it too. Do you want to marry Ni Jiamu? He's your brother, and you've been living with him for over a decade."

Mo Yu shook her head subconsciously, her expression somewhat gloomy: "I don't have a cell phone. Unless he takes me out, I can't get out at all."

Gu Bai noticed that Mo Yu's attitude had softened, and he was delighted. "I have an idea. I'll have our class monitor organize a class reunion next Tuesday and invite your class. Tell Ni Jiamu about it, he should agree. When the time comes, you can come over, and I'll assume you want to go with me. We can then leave secretly halfway through."

"I don't have any ID."

"Go back and look for it. I'll try to make a fake one for you in the next few days."

"Xiao Yu, are you not feeling well yet?" At this moment, Ni Jiamu's voice was clearly heard in the corridor.

Mo Yu looked at Gu Bai deeply, then turned around and walked out.

Seeing Mo Yu, a gentle smile immediately appeared on Ni Jiamu's face. He walked to her side in a few steps and asked, "Does your stomach still hurt?" As he spoke, his hand naturally stretched out, wanting to help Mo Yu rub her stomach.

Mo Yu pushed his hand away and said stiffly, "I'm on my period. I want to go home."

Ni Jiamu lowered his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, then nodded slightly without saying anything more.

On the way back, the car was almost oppressively quiet, the only sound being the gentle hum of the engine. Mo Yu sat in the passenger seat, her eyes wandering as she gazed out the window at the receding street scene, her heart awash with emotions.

She really wanted to ask Ni Jiamu what those Weibo posts meant, and whether her parents really didn't want her anymore. However, she was afraid of hearing an answer that would be unbearable.

At the same time, the words that Gu Bai had just said, like a seed, quietly took root and sprouted in her heart, making her begin to waver.

She really didn't want to marry Ni Jiamu. The thought of marrying him, with whom she had treated as brother for more than ten years, made her feel extremely awkward. She didn't know how to face Ni Jiamu's parents in the future. Should she continue to treat them as her parents, or change her address to call them father-in-law and mother-in-law? This dilemma made her feel suffocated.

Ever since she was little, she'd always been good at escaping whenever she encountered a problem. This time, she felt that perhaps going abroad with Gu Bai was a good option. This way, she wouldn't have to face Ni Jiamu or her parents. In a distant foreign country, where no one knew her, she could start over.

After much thought, she finally made up her mind to leave with Gu Bai. In order to successfully implement this plan, she secretly told herself that she must listen to Ni Jiamu's words in the next few days, behave well and sensibly, and let him completely relax his guard.

While Ni Jiamu was driving intently, he would occasionally observe Mo Yu's expression out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing her frown and pout, Ni Jiamu couldn't help but guess that she was having a severe stomachache, so he asked with concern: "Xiaoyu, does your stomach hurt a lot? I'll ask the doctor to come to your house to check you out."

"No, I'll just go back and lie down." Mo Yu turned her head and gave Ni Jiamu a faint, slightly perfunctory smile, then turned her head back and continued to look out the window.

After arriving home, Mo Yu went straight to her room. She sat down with her back against the headboard, her brows furrowed slightly, wondering where Ni Jiamu had hidden her ID.

"It's strange. Except for this room where I'm sleeping, I've turned the whole house upside down. My brother wouldn't hide anything here, would he?" She muttered softly, looking around the room.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she reached out and opened the drawer of the bedside table. She saw that the drawer was full of gift boxes given to her by Ni Jiamu, large and small, squeezed together.

She had casually tossed these gifts into a drawer after receiving them, never even opening them. At this moment, her fingers gently ran across the gift boxes, thinking, "I'm leaving anyway, so I might as well keep them as a souvenir and open them."

She picked up the largest box and opened it. In an instant, her eyes widened with surprise.
