"I like it..." Li Qingran began to work her brain.

"What? What?" Chen Yajie blinked her lively and bright peach blossom eyes, sparkling and utterly captivating.

"Lin Mo's."

"Ah... what dish are you referring to?"

"I don't eat green peppers."

"I don't eat green peppers... this isn't a dish, is it?"

"Ah."

Chen Yajie's face fell like a kitten's, but it didn't stay that way for long before she suddenly regained her energy:

"Oh, I know, it's because Qingran isn't a picky eater, she likes to eat everything~"

"After all, we lived a relatively frugal life when I was a child..."

"Class monitor, there's no need to ask that question. Qingran probably doesn't even know how to answer it herself." Chen Yajie sat up obediently, glancing out the window as if nothing had happened.

No...she's answered that many times, she only likes the food Lin Mo gives her...Ya Jie, can't you tell?

Hu Yu'en felt that one of them was pretending to be stupid, while the other was genuinely stupid, making her feel extremely uncomfortable in the middle.

It gives one the illusion that I am the only one sober while everyone else is drunk.

What to do, what to do? One act of courage has resulted in a lifetime of introversion. I shouldn't have tried to get close to Li Qingran; she's not interested at all...

Poke~

Tea Fox felt two pokes in her waist and instinctively looked at Ya Jie, only to find her looking out the car window.

not...

On the right, Li Qingran's unblinking, cold gaze seemed to want to plunge her into an abyss.

Hu Yu'en's breath hitched. She had always been terrified of Li Qingran, ever since their first meeting. This girl was even more perceptive than Lin Mo.

Lin Mo witnessed her dark side in real life, but Li Qingran seemed to be able to see right through her eyes...

Even after swallowing, my mouth still felt dry.

"Qingran, ha, you..."

"What about you?"

"Me? What happened to me? Don't worry, I won't take it from you... really, I won't..."

Li Qingran shook her head.

What do you like to eat?

Hu Yu'en, who was being questioned, was taken aback. Her fox-like eyes widened, but her gaze seemed unable to focus, and her pupils swayed and contracted.

She was considering the meaning of that sentence.

Is it an implication? What's the purpose behind it? What exactly does this girl, who's practically monopolizing half of Lin Mo's world, think of her? Why would she suddenly ask her this...?

What I like to eat... I like Lin Mo...

It seems there's nothing left to eat. Lin Mo's cake is sickeningly sweet; can't she even pick up a scrap...?

A little sweetness would have been enough for her... Did I have to be so cruel? I know it was wrong of me to steal, but...

Li Qingran is not Lin Mo; neither her coquettishness nor her feigned pitifulness worked. Hu Yu'en was at a loss...

At this moment, Lin Mo suddenly spoke to the driver.

"Uncle, what do you taxi drivers like to eat the most?"

"Just grab some fried rice from a roadside stall, what about you young folks?"

"What a coincidence, I also love street food. I'll take them there later."

"Taking three such beautiful girls to eat at a roadside stall?!"

"Uncle, can I not charge you for the ride? I'll treat them to a nice meal."

Just kidding, hahaha...

When you're extremely nervous, all sounds around you are amplified and leave a very deep impression.

Lin Mo was giving her a hint.

It's perfectly normal for a normal person to ask another person what they like to eat, and then ask them the same question in return...

Perhaps, Li Qingran isn't that cunning.

After all, all she did was ask, "What do you like to eat?"

Li Qingran replied just as naturally:

"What about you?"

"I... I like chocolate..."

"Mmm, chocolate." Li Qingran nodded her chin, her elegance like a dragonfly touching the surface of water, creating ripples in the lake of her heart.

"Bitter on the outside, sweet on the inside." The cool, aloof young woman offered a fair assessment.

Hu Yu'en immediately broke into a bright smile, her confused gaze focusing on Li Qingran's ink-painting-like face.

So that's how it is. This girl's heart is as pure and clear as her appearance.

I was just overthinking things... I've caused Lin Motian more trouble...

Let's make up for it quickly.

"Yes, it's bitter at first, but sweet later. Experiencing this process through food is also quite enjoyable~"

"Mmm," Li Qingran responded, indicating her agreement.

"And those caramel desserts have a similar feel~"

"Didn't eat."

"Let me describe it to you... um... how should I put it?"

"Squad leader, what are you guys talking about?" Chen Yajie, who had been admiring the scenery, joined the conversation.

Is it candy?

"I like maltose," Chen Yajie said.

[Because being with Lin Mo always makes my heart feel sweet...]

But I know Qingran also likes this kind of sweetness...

Therefore, class monitor, it's best not to easily disrupt this balance.

My mind is racing with thoughts, but in reality...

Chen Yajie and Hu Yu'en laughed and joked, occasionally patting Li Qingran's shoulder, seemingly very affectionate.

Chen Yajie used this action to avoid Li Qingran's intentional or unintentional, headstrong declaration of love for Lin Mo.

She was also terrified, having heard Li Qingran's "truth" in front of Hu Yu'en...

I like what Lin Mo made... um.

How could Chen Yajie be so foolish as to not understand the implied meaning? To call her ignorant would be nothing but self-deception.

That way, by fooling the class monitor, it's as if she was fooled too, as if she can pretend she didn't hear anything, and naively believe that... Qingran just doesn't know how to speak properly, and people misunderstand her.

But she knew that Li Qingran was more perceptive, intelligent, and sensitive than most people.

Now all she has to do is forget about all that, so that the trip doesn't get ruined and everyone can have a good time.

As for how she feels, I don't know, and it doesn't really matter.

When she couldn't help but cry, she would stare blankly at the scenery outside the window for a while, as if Chen Yajie didn't understand anything.

Lin Mo gave her the willpower to live on, but not the courage to enter his life.

But in a better life, she dared not be greedy or reckless, dared not ask for anything better.

Originally, I just wanted to be his star, a star cradling the moon.

Unexpectedly, the moon wasn't him, but her, or them.

The moonlight obscures the starlight, and the faint star has no choice but to hide.

He used his grades to hide it from his mother, smiled foolishly at the class monitor and Qingran, and used the scenery outside the window to numb himself.

"arrive."

The car door opened, and Chen Yajie was the first to jump out.

Wow, there are so many people for the Mid-Autumn Festival!

The girl's sweet smile dispelled the gloom that had lingered in the car for so long.

"I visited Meishan Temple many times when I was a child. There are many Bodhisattvas living there. The monks are all very kind."

"It seems there will be vegetarian meals for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they're free! We can eat lunch right there on the mountain!"

"Really? I've never been here before." Hu Yu'en got out of the car again.

Lin Mo, from the other side out of the two women's sight, led Li Qingran out of the car, offering some kind of comfort.

After going around it, I let go again.

Li Qingran's little finger reluctantly hooked around his palm.

"Qingran, have you ever eaten vegetarian food?" the two women asked simultaneously upon seeing her.

"No."

"Shall we try it at noon?"

"It's delicious, eat up," Lin Mo urged from behind.

"Okay, let's eat." Li Qingran walked towards them, and together they stepped onto the steps leading into the temple.

Lin Mo maintained a certain distance from the three girls, but his gaze never left them.

The psychological complexities of Jiebao and Tea Fox were beyond his imagination.

Hu Yu'en began to think of everything simply.

Chen Yajie started to overcomplicate things.

Things are a bit confusing.

"Ah~ because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I can actually get a purse from the monk uncle!"

I could hear Jiebao's voice from afar.

"Things that symbolize peace, things that symbolize reunion, and..."

"Regarding marriage, eh, does it require a couple to obtain this...?"

Chapter 79 Love Divided into Four Quarters (Seeking Double Monthly Tickets~)

"Where did this purse come from? It's so pretty!"

Jiang Wanfeng finished his morning run and went to the market. He caught a glimpse of the small trinkets that the flour shop owner and his wife were playing with.

For some reason, the embroidered phrase "May you have a long and happy marriage" on the purse really touched her heart.

"This purse? It's from Meishan Temple. My wife and I went there early this morning to get it. Hey, how many pounds of flour did you want?"

"Ah, oh, I... I need 600 grams of flour, 50 grams of cornmeal... and..." Jiang Wanfeng took out her phone, looked at the list of items needed for making mooncakes, and read it aloud.

"Hey kid, we sell everything by weight here, and we don't have cornmeal here."

"Excuse me... well, how about those two pounds of flour?" The cool, aloof girl with long, straight black hair at school looked like a flustered little girl at the market.

"Boss, can I buy that purse?"

"No, no, what are you buying this for, kid? Go to the Meishan Temple and pray for a purse that brings academic success..."

Jiang Wanfeng pursed her lips. She... she wanted this perfect match...

"Can I ask for one?"
