Chapter 151: Mo Kio's a softy
Mo Kio then chuckled, "Why are you crying?"
Yu Chen smiled through the tears that had begun to flow out her eyes. She said, "I could ask you the same thing."
It was then Mo Kio touched his cheeks and realised that he indeed had begun crying. Mo Kio wiped his tears and said, "Look at me. You're turning me into a softy Chen."
Yu Chen: "I'll wait for the day you will be crying over a dog documentary."
Mo Kio let out a laugh and turned to pick up the bag he had brought. He handed the bag to Chen and said, "Here, I want you to have it."
Yu Chen took the bag and opened it with a puzzled look. Inside she saw a laptop, it was actually the same one she had seen on Mo Anxia's table. Chen looked at the laptop and then at Kio. It was indeed the same one, but it felt a little different.
Mo Kio: "Chen, do you know why I wanted you to meet Anxia?"
Yu Chen shook her head with the same puzzled look. Mo Kio stroked the grave and said, "After we had that competition, remember? The one after school on the day we met? After that competition, your skills and the way you lectured me reminded me a lot of Anxia."
Yu Chen looked down at the laptop in her hands and then at Kio, who continued, "I don't know why, but when I met you, I felt like Anxia was somehow telling me that she was happy wherever she was and I should also move on and be happy."
"I personally built this laptop for her two years ago. I was going to give it to her, but before I could complete it, she....she."
Mo Kio could not continue. He looked at Chen and said, "Will you accept it?"
Yu Chen: "I...I can't. It's.. it's just....."
Mo Kio: "It's not too expensive. I built it with some of my very personal hardware because Anxia always complained that the usual laptops weren't fast enough. Though it's a bit old, but I made a few upgrades today. It should work just fine."
Yu Chen: "Is this what you were doing today?"
Mo Kio did not answer her question and said, "You're going away to London for God knows how long. So please, just take it. Even if you don't want to use it, keep it as a remembral. You can return it when you return."
Yu Chen still looked a bit troubled to which he added, "Don't think too much. I'm actually really selfish. I did this because I do not want to lose a genius friend like you. And this laptop will make you come to me, even if it is to return it."
Yu Chen smiled and said, "That's a rather clever way to get us to meet up again."
Mo Kio looked like a hold who had just been promised candy. He said, "So you're going to keep it?"
Yu Chen patted his head, "Of course I am."
Mo Kio: "And take the bag. I'm not asking you to keep it, but how else are you supposed to take the laptop home?"
