Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 469 I thought I could never win against a deceased person!

A celebrity once said that when you become successful, everyone around you is a good person.

Fortunately, Lin Mo succeeded without experiencing the so-called ugliness of society; at least now he is surrounded by so-called good people.

His university classmates, his cousin, his girlfriend, Miss Yuan and her family, his two teachers, his senior classmates, his former colleague Zhang Wei, and his mentor Lao Wang, all took good care of him. The people around him were also very kind. It was just that Fatty Dong had disgusted everyone back then, but now he has been reformed.

Even better, the people around Lin Mo didn't all fawn over him after he got better; everyone had their own things to do.

Liu Ruyan is busy with her career, her cousin has her own job, and Chuanmei and Director Wang are also working hard for their future. When there are things to do, everyone is busy with their own things, but when they have free time, they will get together and enjoy life.

This can be described as an ideal state, where no one is anyone else's appendage and everyone has their own path to follow. However, unlike most classmates, no one goes their separate ways after graduation and may never see each other again in this lifetime.

Therefore, Lin Mo could clearly feel that the people around him were in very good spirits during this period, giving people a vibrant and positive feeling, which was significantly different from most of the working class in society.

Even the two female class leaders felt the same way, because if Chuanmei's studio became more established in the future, they would both have a bright future.

For students with only a regular undergraduate degree, this is already a fairly high and good starting point.

As for the days to come, we can only take it one step at a time; no one knows when we will part ways.

At 3:30 p.m., Lin Mo finished his classes for the day, drove away from the medical university, and didn't return to his residence until 4 p.m., where he began preparing dinner.

Because Liu Ruyan said she would be coming over later, even though today wasn't Wednesday, he had already learned to cook after so long, but the taste was much worse than on Wednesdays.

However, he tries to focus on chicken, and the taste is quite good. Today, he specially bought a black-boned chicken to nourish his partner.

A little after five o'clock, Liu Ruyan walked into the house, looking somewhat tired. Although her menstrual cycle had greatly improved, she was only in a normal state, far from being as superhuman as Miss Yuan.

My body is already quite tired during my period, and my back also aches. After a full day of work, it's no wonder I'm exhausted.

Lin Mo felt heartbroken seeing this, so he let her lie on the sofa for a while and handed her a cup of hot water. After the meal was prepared, Liu Ruyan recovered somewhat.

"What's wrong? Is there a lot of work at the company? Are you so tired?" Lin Mo asked while serving food to Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan nodded: "There's quite a bit. I have something to tell you. I might have to go on a business trip for a while soon."

"Huh? A business trip? Where are you going? Should I come with you?"

Upon hearing that Liu Ruyan was going on a business trip, Lin Mo's first thought was to go with her. After all, for a newly established couple, being in a long-distance relationship at this time is practically the same as being widowed.

"Go to the capital and then to Shanghai to meet some business partners. Let's just go together, since you have your own things to do."

"The restaurant will be open as usual next week. I've already arranged guests for you. But don't worry, I'm not leaving right away. I can stay home for another day. And my business trip won't be long. I'll be back in a few days. Why are you following me around like this, you idiot?" Liu Ruyan saw Lin Mo's reaction and couldn't help but tap his forehead with her finger and laugh.

Although the two were in a relationship and there was indeed a significant difference in their social status, she never treated Lin Mo as a gigolo who lived off her, nor did she regard him as her appendage.

It's not a sugar daddy/sugar baby relationship, so she naturally wouldn't let Lin Mo focus all his attention on her. How could he make progress if he did that?

You know, Lin Mo's income is not low now. Although she doesn't care about her partner's financial situation, a man still needs to have his own career. She doesn't want to turn Lin Mo into a useless person.

“Alright, I’ll cook you some good food and give you a massage these next couple of days. That way, you’ll feel more relaxed,” Lin Mo nodded. He knew that even if they went together, he would most likely just wait at the hotel for Liu Ruyan to return. After all, he didn’t understand anything about company matters and couldn’t help with anything. So, he might as well focus on his own work.

"Okay, then I'll leave my health to you to take care of these next two days," Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

She still misses her little man's massages; they're so comfortable.

After dinner, Liu Ruyan lay on the sofa, and Lin Mo sat on her lap to massage her, relieving her fatigue and also alleviating the discomfort in her lower abdomen.

Feeling the warm, large hands on her body, Liu Ruyan let out a soft, comfortable moaning sound, which made Lin Mo feel somewhat restless.

More than half an hour later, Liu Ruyan clearly felt some changes in Lin Mo behind her. She couldn't help but turn over, pat him on the shoulder and scolded, "Alright, I told you, no flirting! No matter how much you flirt, it's not allowed now!"

Hearing this, Lin Mo's face flashed with embarrassment, then he retorted, "How dare you say that? I didn't hear you make any such noises when I was massaging you before!"

"I'll endure it? Now I don't have to endure it anymore, haha!" Liu Ruyan laughed triumphantly.

Since they're both like this, neither of them knows the other anymore. What's the point of enduring it like before? Just do whatever makes you comfortable.

As they were talking, Liu Ruyan's gaze fell on the glass display case in the living room, and then she fell silent.

Seeing this, Lin Mo asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

His living room was originally set up like this; apart from a bicycle taking up a lot of space, the rest of the space even seemed a bit empty.

"I was looking at that box of candy," Liu Ruyan said bluntly.

Lin Mo was taken aback when he heard this, then looked at the box of candy he had carefully stored in the glass display case. It was a gift from Jiang Xia. Of all the gifts, he had brought back only this box of candy.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo thought for a moment, walked over, took out the box of candy, turned around and returned to the sofa, sat down next to Liu Ruyan, and handed her the box: "Would you like some?"

"Is it okay?" Liu Ruyan asked uncertainly.

Lin Mo nodded: "Of course!"

“This isn’t your classmate.” Liu Ruyan clearly knew where this box of candy came from.

But their relationship hadn't progressed before, so she was too embarrassed to ask. Now, however, she had a proper status.

"Yes, she said there was a rainbow in this box of candy, and it was a gift for me."

But she also told me that if I ever meet a girl I really like, I shouldn't always say "wait for another chance" or "next time." Instead, I should say, "Let's go on a date tomorrow. I'll be waiting for you downstairs in three minutes." And I should say, "I like you."

"This is one of my most precious gifts. I've eaten one, and I'm giving you the rest of the rainbow." Lin Mo opened the box, took out a candy, slowly peeled it open, and placed the candy near Liu Ruyan's lips.

Liu Ruyan looked at him for a while before opening her mouth and putting the candy in her mouth. Then she wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear:
"I thought I could never win against a dead person!"
