"How much longer until I can put on my shoes... my feet are getting a little cold."
Stretching, the girl smiled sweetly, seemingly having temporarily forgotten Lin Mo's scumbag persona. Blinking her bright, clear blue eyes, she looked at him innocently and asked,
"..." Lin Mo mimicked Li Qingran's poker face, and combined it with Jiang Wanfeng's disdainful look, as he faced her.
"No rush. What's more urgent is that you're not going to explain what happened last night?"
"..."
Shen Yanxi's shoulders trembled, her smile gradually faded, and she was suddenly reminded of this "temporary older brother."
What a scumbag!
Oh no, I've incurred another favor from that jerk. Could he already have his eye on me?
Dame dame, no, I won't let you capture me!
Eeya ya ya ya!
Oh my god!
After a few angry roars in her mind, the girl's eyes hardened.
Xixi will never leave the ranks of the pure love warriors! We must crack down on this lecherous pervert's philandering!
Stop being so stubborn, Lin Mo! Continuing like this will only break every girl's heart!
Make a choice as soon as possible!
"Hmph! Here's the money! I'll keep a hundred, the rest is all yours..."
As she spoke, the girl took out five bills from the compensation she had earned through her injuries and handed them over.
Lin Mo was stunned. So this was the compensation she gave him, as mentioned in the intelligence report...
The compensation is only in monetary terms, and that's why.
But if Lin Mo hadn't testified for her, she would have lost everything, essentially throwing her life away.
What an idiot.
"Last night, I... I know it must have been you who helped me... I'm so grateful, but... but, they're such good girls... you can't treat them like this!"
"If it were only Senior Sister Wanfeng, or only that cold-hearted senior sister, then Lady Xixi could still make an exception, but there are four of them now!"
The girl stretched out her small hands and waved them in front of Lin Mo.
"Four! The future and happiness of four girls! You, you will ruin them!"
Halfway through, she suddenly realized she was only holding up three fingers. Having sworn to be a warrior of pure love so many times, it had become muscle memory...
"Um... I made a mistake... Wait for me, don't run away..." The girl adjusted her hand gesture, but then realized she couldn't straighten her little finger; there was a wound on it...
She had no choice but to extend her other hand... her middle finger, then felt it was impolite to extend it halfway, so she switched to her index finger, but it still looked a bit like a curse.
Finally, she had no choice but to hold up three fingers on one hand and make a thumbs-up with the other.
After the pre-cast animation is complete,
The girl pouted and glared at him angrily.
"Four of them!! Can you give them happiness?! Do you know how miserable and pitiful they looked last night?!"
"Glug glug glug..." After voicing her challenge, the girl glared at him, letting out angry meows like a cat.
After all this time, it's just for a simple gesture... Calling her immature isn't entirely accurate; her worldview is quite normal, nowhere near as twisted as when she first met Li Qingran.
They look fierce, but I don't know what they're fierce about.
It wasn't scary at all like Jiang Wanfeng when she was angry; it just felt like one punch from her could make her cry for a long time.
Like a cat's pleading, a cat's gentle scratching.
"If you keep acting cute, I'll dump you too..." Lin Mo threatened.
With just one sentence, Shen Yanxi immediately broke down, pulling her arms back to hug her small chest and staring at him with extreme vigilance.
Great horror!
She had clearly tried her best to express her anger, but it still had no effect... Xixi had failed miserably...
No, it's not a failure. I... I still have...
"Didn't you tell them last night that you liked me too? Why don't you join them?"
"Uh! Uh... this..."
Shen Yanxi's face flushed slightly, and she looked away helplessly.
"I know what you're trying to do, but you haven't thought it through at all..."
"I haven't established a relationship with anyone. What if I'm the one being chosen by others? What if I'm being forced? Have you thought about that?"
"Is it possible that by stirring things up, you're not only failing to help them see reality clearly, but also hurting them even more?"
Upon hearing this, the girl suddenly looked up, her red lips slightly parted, and stared at him for a long while, but remained speechless...
The girl lowered her head, hunched her shoulders, and rested her chin on her knees. Her angry grumbling turned into pleading sobs.
"You don't understand anything, yet you're always meddling in other people's business. You're starving and have nowhere to live, and you're still worrying about other people's affairs. What if you fall headfirst today? Hmm?"
"What will you do if I don't help you?"
"Thinks he's very capable? Yet he hasn't even thought about how to clean up the mess?"
"Shen Yanxi, speak."
The girl whose name was called trembled again, but mustered her strength and said:
"I! I've thought about it..."
"I think I'll talk to them more and help them get through this... I also want to apologize to you and make money to make it up to you..."
"Think about it, if you also don't want to be bothered by girls... I, didn't I help you too..."
As she spoke, the usually optimistic girl bit her lower lip, her eyebrows arched like distant mountains, showing no intention of suppressing her urge to cry; tears welled up in her eyes.
What sets her apart from other girls is probably her straightforwardness; she doesn't hide her laughter or tears.
How beautiful she is when she smiles, how pitiful and tragic she is when she cries.
"Yesterday, I'm so sorry... You helped me, I'm really sorry, and I'm also very grateful to you... Today too, thank you so much, but right is right, and wrong is wrong..."
"No matter what... this is wrong, really wrong... Xixi didn't want to mess this up, Xixi knows it will make everyone feel bad... so I want to help everyone..."
"Xixi's mother was abandoned by her father. He had an affair, so she jumped into a very deep river. Xixi's father also passed away because he regretted it..."
"It's so painful, really... Xixi knows, I'll cry for a long, long time, I won't be able to study, I won't want to eat, I just want to be alone, and cry and cry..."
"..."
Did you take a year off from school because of this?
No wonder the intelligence reports didn't give Lin Mo much information about her background; it turns out that when she's overwhelmed with emotion, she'll reveal everything...
Oh no, apart from Fengbao's parents being somewhat normal, none of them, including Lin Mo, have any living parents...
No, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang aren't exactly normal either. They dare to keep working overtime and staying in the hospital, leaving their daughter to be taken care of by a teenage boy. That's just unbelievable.
Lin Mo was somewhat relieved, as he was born without a acre of land.
If there are no acres left after tomorrow, things like Shen Yanxi's situation could have a significant impact...
However, given such a family tragedy, the fact that she's still alive is a miracle in itself, and her almost unnatural optimism is an even greater miracle...
"Xixi wasn't pretending to be pitiful!"
Seemingly sensing the awkward silence, Shen Yanxi looked up again and said in a cute yet fierce tone,
"These are all Xixi's problems, they have nothing to do with you, I only told you because I was so upset..."
"Yeah, I wasn't planning on pitying you," Lin Mo replied, continuing the conversation.
"Then why did you help me yesterday..."
“A normal person would help you; helping you and pitying you are two different things.”
"Humph..."
Taking advantage of the girl's emotional state, Lin Mo casually snatched the money from her hand.
Only two were drawn.
"Six hundred, I'll take two hundred. One hundred is for last night's accommodation, one hundred is for my testimony for you today, and you can keep the rest."
"Even if both are cleared up."
"If you have any conscience at all, go and explain things to those two girls who helped you yesterday."
The girl crumpled the banknotes in her hand. She had originally intended to give him five hundred yuan as compensation, but now she was certain he wouldn't accept it no matter what she offered.
He clearly didn't intend to take her money, but he still took two bills as a token.
Shen Yanxi knew that this was to make her feel better.
She was intelligent from a young age, the smartest girl in the village, and exceptionally good at reading people...
But this also means that she can easily empathize with the other person's perspective.
Embarrassedness and awkwardness entangled her heart.
"I...I'll explain...If I made things worse, I'm sorry..."
"However! If Xixi finds out you've bullied other girls, I won't let you get away with it!!"
"..."
Lin Mo thought for a moment, then decided that being threatened wasn't satisfying enough, so he decided to make her understand things more clearly.
Anyway, knowing this girl's character, she'll figure it out sooner or later.
"According to you, you didn't actually help but caused trouble; you were just sabotaging things for me."
"Huh? Is it really that bad...?"
"Because I want it all, and you guessed it, I'm as awful as you can imagine, much worse than you can imagine."
"!!!"
Shen Yanxi opened her bright, watery eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
What kind of bad person would say they're bad? That's just stupid...
"Then! Then Xixi won't let you get away with this..."
Shen Yanxi wanted to be fiercer and more imposing, but when she thought about how the person in front of her was truly a villain in matters of the heart, a living, breathing womanizer, she couldn't help but soften and become meek.
"You just wait... Listen, did you hear me? But please don't lay a hand on me..."
The girl can't escape now, she's not even wearing socks or shoes. What if Lin Mo had some succubus magic, or hypnotized her and turned her into an idiot...?
Oh no, that's it.
The only option is to show weakness and back down...
wrong!
She wasn't afraid at all; she wouldn't be seduced by him! Xi Xi hated this kind of person the most!
That jerk who plays with other people's feelings! I hate him so much!
Thinking about this, she didn't seem so scared anymore, and she wished she could beat him to a pulp right now!
Seeing Shen Yanxi proudly wave her little fist at him, only to writhe in pain as she touched her wound, Lin Mo almost couldn't help but laugh.
"You stay here by yourself. I'm leaving. I have no right to tell you what you want to do, but if you cross the line, I'll deal with you next."
"Waaah... Xixi isn't afraid of you!"
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Mo glanced again at the girl's toes, which were flailing around along with her little hands; they were surprisingly agile... consider it collecting some interest.
He turned around and was about to go back to the playground to find the pretty girls...
"Hey, wait a minute..."
"What? Is there something else...?"
