Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 455 Sandalwood Hairpin
Miss Yuan wanted to imitate the girl in the video, but she didn't even look at her own abilities. Obviously, she failed to understand that the man in the video was stunned not because she had unzipped her pants, but because his attention was drawn to something else.

Unfortunately, the moves were good, but I didn't have the skill to execute them.

Lin Mo's last sentence, in particular, broke Miss Yuan's defenses. After she came to her senses, she was about to kick the cripple's crippled leg, but fortunately, the class monitor and the other two girls stopped her.

Lin Mo couldn't be blamed for this. He thought Miss Yuan was hot, so he had to fan her. She meant well.

"Come on, thank you Sister Yuan for your generosity in treating us to dinner!"

Inside a barbecue restaurant, Lin Mo raised his glass and smiled.

Miss Yuan asked him to treat her to a meal, but he ended up paying for it himself. What a kind person!

Seeing this, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, but Miss Yuan was sullen. After all, she had not only lost money this time, but also her dignity. It could be said that she had lost completely.

However, faced with the temptation of delicious food, Miss Yuan quickly forgot all about the unpleasant incident from earlier.

Although the barbecue couldn't compare to the lavish meal Liu Ruyan treated her to yesterday, nor could it match the taste of Lin Mo's restaurant, Miss Yuan was never picky about having something to eat. After all, she had paid for it herself, and she had to make sure she got her money's worth. If she could eat more than a thousand yuan worth and make Lin Mo reimburse her, that would be even better.

But it was obvious that the food prices in the university town were so high that even though there were six of them, they didn't end up spending more than a thousand yuan. They spent a little over six hundred yuan, and Lin Mo even had some money to spare.

After dinner, Miss Yuan exercised her power and made Chuanmei treat everyone to a bath and massage, since he had lost at billiards.

Everyone boarded the car in high spirits, except for Lin Mo, who stayed behind citing his leg problems.

"Really not going? Doesn't your older sister care?"

At the entrance of the residential area, watching everyone drive away, Liu Ruyan, who was holding his arm, couldn't help but smile.

She would never agree to a man, or even several men, going to a bathhouse for a foot massage, especially since they had just started dating. If Lin Mo dared to go to a bathhouse for a foot massage, she would beat him senseless. Did he really think she, Liu Ruyan, had no temper?

But now that there are several men and women together, especially with Yuan Meng there, she isn't worried at all. If Lin Mo really wants to go, she can even go with him.

"Forget it, I'm already like this, how could I possibly get a foot massage? Besides, I have a girlfriend now, and I'm determined to never go back to places like that again," Lin Mo said righteously.

Firstly, he's no longer single, and secondly, it's not like he hasn't been there before. He knows all too well what those people do there—take a shower, maybe get a late-night snack, but what's the point? Wouldn't it be better to go home and spend some time with your girlfriend?

Hearing this, although she knew Lin Mo was just saying it to make her happy, Liu Ruyan was still in a good mood. This was the side effect of being in love: it made her less intelligent.

It's not that it lowers intelligence, but rather that it leads to blind trust, especially when two people who are dating for the first time get together. They tend to cherish each other more and try to put themselves in each other's shoes to take care of each other's feelings.

"That's wonderful! I'll reward you properly when we get back today," Liu Ruyan said, taking his arm as they walked into the residential area.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo was incredibly excited, and even his legs felt lighter.

In the living room, Liu Ruyan examined his right leg: "You were able to walk by yourself today, you're recovering quite quickly, not bad, not bad. Did you have pig's feet for dinner? If not, I'll order some takeout."

"No, no, I really can't eat any more of this. My teacher and senior sister both said that if I eat pig's feet again, I'll almost produce milk. And I'm already better, really, so you see..." Lin Mo said somewhat embarrassedly, rubbing his hands.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan squeezed Lin Mo's ankle hard. Seeing that he had already frowned slightly, but still stubbornly refused to speak and even pretended to be nonchalant, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you done yet? Lying is not a good habit, little brother!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately looked dejected, like a wilted eggplant. He had been single for so many years, and finally had a girlfriend, but he was still living a single life. This was just too ridiculous.

In the past, he wouldn't necessarily have done anything, but recently his body has been somewhat imbalanced in terms of yin and yang, and only those who suffer know how bad it is!
Seeing Lin Mo's expression, Liu Ruyan got up from the sofa, put on her slippers, and walked to the bedroom, smiling, "Alright, then tomorrow?"

You have to give me some kind of ceremony, right? I can't accept such a mundane scene!

I'm going to change my clothes!

Liu Ruyan's voice wasn't loud, but Lin Mo heard it clearly. As soon as she finished speaking, before he could ask any more questions, Liu Ruyan ran into the bedroom and closed the door.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo was stunned for three seconds before he reacted. Then, he was overjoyed and murmured, "Haha, I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! Wahahaha!"

After saying that, he remembered what Liu Ruyan had mentioned about the so-called sense of ritual. This was indeed something he was unfamiliar with. Thinking of this, Lin Mo quickly took out his phone, opened his browser, and searched for "how to create romantic rituals for your girlfriend".

As for Liu Ruyan, she leaned against the bedroom door, clutching her chest, her pretty face flushed red.

This kind of thing is something that should happen naturally between the two of you, but she gave a specific time because she knew that if she didn't give it, Lin Mo definitely wouldn't take any action. But she was, after all, a woman, and naturally she would feel embarrassed.

Of course, seeing that Lin Mo's foot injury had almost healed, she was secretly delighted. If it was like this today, it would most likely be completely healed by tomorrow, which would be just in time for her period this month, which was good news.

Of course, wanting a sense of ceremony was also her true thought. After all, on such an important day, at such a special moment, how could she be willing to give herself away in a plain and ordinary way? There had to be some special memories!

Liu Ruyan was relieved that she wouldn't have to suffer this month, and Lin Mo also received a specific timeframe; both of them were very satisfied.

After Liu Ruyan changed her clothes and came out of the bedroom, the two of them tacitly refrained from mentioning what had just happened, but both were looking forward to tomorrow.

Although they didn't go to the bathhouse, it was still quite fun for the young couple in the throes of new love to be together.

The TV in the living room has been turned on much more often lately. Before, neither of them had ever thought to watch it, but now that they're in a relationship, they can watch even boring variety shows with great interest.

The last time Liu Ruyan watched entertainment programs like variety shows was back in college, when she had money and free time to watch variety shows and follow dramas to pass the time.

But since graduation, she hasn't watched it again, throwing herself into her work. Unexpectedly, falling in love has brought back the feeling of her youth. "Hehehe, is Yuanyuan being so abstract today? Arm wrestling with you, and even imitating the girls in those videos zipping up their zippers, trying to beat you?"

Hearing about the stupid things Miss Yuan did this afternoon, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but lean against him and laugh until her whole body trembled.

If any other woman played this game with her boyfriend, she would have confronted him long ago. Is this kind of game something that can be played casually? Only couples wouldn't care. But Miss Yuan is different. Even if this little thing really had that idea, she doesn't have the means to play it.

"Of course! She picked me up from school today, and as soon as I got in the car, she said she was so worried about me. Then she asked me to treat her to dinner. She overestimated herself and challenged me. She lost a thousand yuan to me, so I used that money to treat her," Lin Mo said with a smile, his arm around Liu Ruyan's waist.

Recently, he's gotten used to the feeling of holding his girlfriend, and he's not as excited as he was at the beginning. The two of them can now cuddle together and chat normally.

The first two times, before they could even hug for a short while, their hands would start to wander.

"What a pity. The idea is good, but this move is too capital-intensive, and she not only doesn't have any, she's almost in debt. I didn't realize that before. You're quite sharp-tongued. Yuanyuan will be furious if she hears what you say!" Liu Ruyan wrapped her arms around his neck and gently bit his lips after saying that.

Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh: "How could I not be angry? I was so angry that she wanted to kick my crippled leg, but luckily someone stopped her!"

"You're still laughing? Keep being silly! But while Yuanyuan may not have the looks, your older sister does!"

As he spoke, Lin Mo suddenly felt a sudden darkness in front of him.

The next morning, Lin Mo's leg was indeed much better; the swelling in his right leg had completely disappeared, leaving only a slight bruise.

Although walking is still a bit unnatural and hasn't returned to the previous brisk pace, it's almost the same as a normal person's. Although I can't do morning exercises yet, I can still make breakfast.

As she ate the breakfast prepared by her little man, although it wasn't the first time she had eaten it, it was the first time Lin Mo had made it for her since they became a couple. It was a simple and heartwarming meal, and Liu Ruyan seemed to see their daily life after marriage in this scene. She had a faint smile on her lips all morning.

"If you're free today, stay home. I'll try to come back early this afternoon," Liu Ruyan said, glancing at Lin Mo's healed right leg.

Although Lin Mo is already recovered, Liu Ruyan doesn't mind waiting another day since they've already waited this long. After all, this is an important moment for her, and she needs to prepare, as does Lin Mo.

"No problem, I'll definitely stay home obediently today and not go anywhere," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Although neither of them said anything, they both knew exactly what was going on; it was just a tacit understanding between them.

After Liu Ruyan left, Lin Mo tidied up briefly and then started thinking about how to achieve the sense of ritual that Liu Ruyan had mentioned.

Although today is not a holiday, it still holds special significance for the two of them, so he still wanted to give Liu Ruyan an unforgettable memory.

He had already prepared the gift, but it lacked a sense of ceremony, something he hadn't learned.

As for the gift, it was all thanks to the shopping page. I don't know if it was luck or if the shopping page also has big data functions, but in any case, it gave him a great gift on this special day.

[M1 Bazooka Rocket Launcher: Three shells: ¥4.62]

【Nine-Turned Intestines (Original Flavor); Once opened, the person opposite will definitely taste it. A top-notch scheme, the perfect choice for revenge. ¥6.66】

【Rosewood hairpin; a symbol of a principal wife, representing the enduring bond of marriage: ¥999.9】

[Electric-assisted bicycle: Compact, lightweight, and foldable: ¥0.1]

He had just woken up in the morning when he saw this sandalwood hairpin. He didn't even glance at the other options before buying it.

The item itself may not be worth much money, but its symbolism and effect are undeniably powerful, practically sealing their fate for life.

For Lin Mo, this was simply the perfect gift.

As for the sense of ritual, after failing to find the answer online, he originally wanted to call his few close friends to discuss it, but considering their personalities, he thought that if he did it, they might not be very gossipy, especially Miss Yuan, just thinking about it gave him a headache.

Finally, with no other choice, Lin Mo gritted his teeth and made a phone call to his cousin.

"Hey, what's up, little brother?" Su He's voice came through the phone, and there were sounds of traffic and people around, so it seemed she was already at the company.

Seeing this, Lin Mo didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Sister, you're familiar with Ruyan, do you know what kind of sense of ritual she likes?"

"A sense of ritual? Aren't you two already together? It's not a holiday or your birthdays, why are you suddenly thinking about creating some kind of ritual? You can't just do that."
Wait a minute, wait a minute, you two aren't going to... First, tell me when you need it?

Halfway through the conversation, her cousin Su He seemed to realize something and quickly asked.

Lin Mo swallowed hard: "Just today."

"Today!!! Why didn't you say so earlier? Wasn't it noon?" Cousin Su He exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Mo held the phone a little further away and said, "No, I'll use it this afternoon or evening!"

"Wait a minute, I'll go ask for leave right away and I'll be there soon," said Su He, her cousin, before hanging up the phone.

Lin Mo:
Just kidding, this is obviously a breakthrough in the relationship between the two of them. As her cousin and Liu Ruyan's best friend, she naturally has to give them a helping hand. Otherwise, how could her cousin, with his blockhead, possibly do such things? Thinking of this, Su He hurriedly ran to ask for leave, not daring to stay for even a moment longer.

On the other end of the line, Lin Mo listened to the busy tone on the phone with some confusion: "I didn't say Lu?"
