On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 4 The time for committing the crime is approaching!

As if she noticed Chen Mo's gaze, the shy Su Yuqing subconsciously hurriedly pulled the hem of her sweatshirt, resulting in her losing her balance on the stool.

"Be careful!" Chen Mo hurriedly reached out from behind to support the staggering Su Yuqing, but his palm just passed through her armpit and slid to the front, seeming to hold a place that should not be held. Su Yuqing was sensitive to skin contact, and she felt her body suddenly go limp, and she could no longer stand. She stumbled and fell off the chair, falling into Chen Mo's broad arms.

The lingering sandalwood in the hair and the citrus scent of the shower gel suddenly blended together, and the two of them froze in place.

Until the boiling water in the soup pot splashed onto the cooking table, breaking the beautiful atmosphere.

Chen Mo quickly withdrew his hand, took a half step back, and stuffed the colander into her sweaty palm: "You stir it, I'll get the eggs."

When he turned around, he saw the red tips of his ears in the cabinet mirror. Chen Mo then realized that it was not that he had no feelings for girls over the years, but that there was no other girl who could make him feel excited again.

Su Yuqing blushed as she lowered her head to stir the noodles. The collar of her sweatshirt opened slightly with the movement, revealing half of her light pink roundness.

This caused Chen Mo to start aiming non-stop.

The steam rising from the pot lingered between the two of them, and the blush on Su Yuqing's ears spread all the way to her collarbone.

She tugged at the hem of her sweatshirt in panic, but Chen Mo had already turned around and cracked eggs into the frying pan. The sizzling sound of the oil perfectly covered up the roar of his heartbeat.

The aroma of tomato noodle soup quickly filled the kitchen. When Chen Mo pushed the porcelain bowl in front of Su Yuqing, his fingertips deliberately avoided her trembling fingertips.

The girl lowered her eyes and stared at the chopped green onions floating on the soup. The collar of her sweatshirt slid down half an inch as she leaned over. The girl's shoulders glowed like pearls under the warm yellow light.

"Be careful of the heat." Chen Mo's Adam's apple rolled as he placed the remote control on the edge of the dining table. "Turn to the channel you want to watch."

The moment the TV came on, Su Yuqing suddenly clenched her chopsticks - the TV happened to be showing the study materials that Chen Mo had forgotten to switch to, and the girl in the picture was extremely fierce!
Su Yuqing subconsciously looked down at herself.

"Cough!" Chen Mo coughed awkwardly, quickly reached out and pressed the switch button, immediately switching from the screen projection to the TV on-demand interface.

So many years have passed that he himself has forgotten that he was watching this on the screen alone at home that night.

No wonder I drove Su Yuqing away in such a hurry.

He suddenly remembered all his feelings at that time.

At that time, he was watching TV and doing handicrafts, but suddenly the doorbell rang, and he was so scared that he almost collapsed.

This is why he directly turned away Su Yuqing who interrupted his spell after she made a strange request for shelter.

If he had not been feeling ashamed and angry at the time, and had heard the doorbell under normal circumstances and let Su Yuqing into the house, he would not dare to imagine that he, at that age when he was eager to practice more knowledge about physiology and hygiene, would do something inappropriate to such a little lamb that was at the mercy of others.

Who knows what disastrous consequences might arise.

Fortunately, after so many years of settling down, he has become much more calm now.

Even if the study materials were exposed in front of girls, he could pretend nothing happened and quickly cut them off without blushing or feeling any pain.

The two of them understood each other tacitly and pretended nothing had happened, and no one said a word.

"I heard that girls like watching Crayon Shin-chan very much, let's play Crayon Shin-chan." Chen Mo clicked on the Crayon Shin-chan cartoon, and soon the familiar cute and silly voice came from the TV.

The cheerful music from the cartoon quickly dispelled their awkwardness. Watching the cute little Shin-chan jumping around on the screen, Su Yuqing's tense shoulders finally relaxed. She scooped up a spoonful of noodle soup and blew gently. The steaming heat dyed her eyelashes a misty silver.

"How does it taste?" Chen Mo knew how to cook when he was in high school, but later he worked as a criminal police for so long that he had less time to cook and could just make do with it.

This suddenly brought him back to high school, and he didn't even know if his cooking skills had changed.

As the sour and sweet taste of the tomato, wrapped in heat, bloomed on the tip of her tongue, Su Yuqing's eyes suddenly lit up, like stars suddenly lighting up in the night sky. She couldn't help but take another sip before looking up at Chen Mo: "So you're such a good cook!"

The collar of the sweatshirt slid down to the shoulders as he tilted his head back, and the corners of his lips, stained with soup, shone brightly under the light.

Chen Mo held his chin up and watched her puffing out her cheeks and blowing air. The steaming mist blurred the girl's face, but could not cover the tiny beads of sweat oozing from the tip of her nose.

He took out a tissue and gently wiped her, then said with a smile, "Sweating will drive away the cold."

"Eat slowly, there's more in the pot."

Amid the exaggerated sound effects of the cartoon, Su Yuqing secretly glanced at Chen Mo, who was looking at her with his chin in his hand.

The boy's knuckles pressed against the jagged curve of his jawbone, and his neat jawline, like a meticulous painting, still retained the youthful thinness. His little finger unconsciously stroked the peak of his lips, but the corners of his lips were naturally slightly upturned, always giving rise to a faint smile.

Looking at the boy's outline being roughened by the warm light, his handsome face appearing and disappearing in the flickering light and shadow of the cartoon, and the way he stared at her infatuatedly, Su Yuqing's heart was beating, but she pretended not to see anything and concentrated on eating noodles.

Soon, she had eaten all the noodles and soup.

Only then did she show a look of satisfaction.

"Are you full with just one bowl?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Ah."

Just as Su Yuqing finished speaking, there was a sudden explosion of thunder outside the window.

Chen Mo looked at the wall clock reflexively - the hour hand pointed to nine fifty-seven, which meant there was still about half an hour left before the crime in his previous life.

It would take some time to get there from his home, and it would also take time to investigate suspicious objects nearby, so Chen Mo prepared to leave.

"Come and drink some water to rinse your mouth." Chen Mo got up, took a glass of water and a blanket, covered Su Yuqing with it, and said with a smile.

"Since you're full, why don't you watch some TV in the living room to help digest your food? Leave this bowl here for now and I'll wash it later. I'm going out to buy some things and will be back soon."

"Why are you going out in such heavy rain?" Su Yuqing looked at the heavy rain outside worriedly.

"It's okay, it's very close, I'll buy something for midnight snack." Chen Mo replied with a smile.

"Remember, no one can open the door by ringing the doorbell before I come back, okay? I have the key and I won't ring the doorbell." Chen Mo stood up and walked to the door before suddenly turning around and reminding you.

He was afraid that the criminal Su Yuqing encountered was not a spur-of-the-moment criminal, but a premeditated one. It was very likely that the criminal would follow Su Yuqing and ambush her somewhere near her home.
