Bab 32: Another teammate
It took longer than Yu Chen expected and by the time they were done, it was already a little past six o clock. Yu Chen got up to see Mr. Mo looking at them proudly. Seeing that they had finished, he came over. Yu Chen greeted him and said, "You must be really proud of your son, Mr. Mo. He grasps the concepts faster than anyone I have ever seen." "I actually am more proud of you. You look like a good kid and are able to teach this bad boy so easily." he complimented her.
"Well it's partly because he is making it so easy to teach." Yu Chen blushed a little at the compliment.
Mr. Mo smiled, "Continue to look after him. Hmm?"
Before Chen could reply, Mo Kio cut in, "Stop talking about me like I'm a kid, and stop pretending that I'm not here. Anyway Chen, let's go. We will get late."
Mr. Mo raised an eyebrow, "You guys going anywhere?"
"Yup. I'm treating Chen and her friends at the new restaurant uptown, will be back in a bit." Mo Kio jumped from his seat.
"You? Treating someone?" Mr. Mo still did not believe him. "It's because he lost a bet with me." Yu Chen answered, very cleverly cutting out the part about beating him.
Mr. Mo smiled and nodded, "Okay then. Have fun. And make sure that she gets home safe."
Mo Kio nodded and went out of the room.
Yu Chen smiled, bowed to Mr. Mo, and followed him out. Mr. Mo sighed, "It has sure been a while since I have seen him this happy." As Mo Kio and Yu Chen reached the living room, they saw Uncle Leo coming in with a covered dish in his hands. "Young master, it's rude to let a guest leave without eating something." he said.
Mo Kio nodded and instructed him to tell the driver to pick up some people and reach on tje new Chinese restaurant at Fifth Avenue. He gave their addresses and then sat on the sofa with the dish in his hands.
He beckoned to Chen as he opened the lid, "Aunt Bell makes the best steamed dumplings, have some." he said, taking one and biting into it.
Yu Chen nodded and sat down. She took one then blew on it. Then as she put it in her mouth amd her face lit up in happiness. She complimented the dumplings again and again until Mo Kio cut her off saying, "Hey Chen, I have a favour to ask of you."
"I am not writing code for Si Xia, neither will I tutor you." she said with difficulty as her mouth was almost full of a big bite which she had taken.
Mo Kio put down the dumpling in his hand and turned to her, "It's not that, I want to be in your team for the 99-software open competition."
Yu Chen forgot to chew as she looked at Mo Kio with a dumb expression. "Who-who told you?!?" she screamed suddenly.
"Doesn't matter. Could I please be on the team. We can even practice and write our code at my home." he said, making the puppy eyes witch were so difficult to refuse.
Yu Chen rubbed her temples and said, "You are not going to give up till I say yes. Are you?"
