The voice was very soft and gentle, yet extremely mournful.

Lin Mo gave a wry smile, but having just attracted a lot of attention, he could only take Hu Yu'en's soft little hand and squeeze it gently when Chen Yajie wasn't looking, offering a long reassurance.

Tea Fox was easily satisfied; she pouted, looking somewhat smug like Feng Baozhi, and raised her noble chin.

[Being with Lin Mo in front of Ya Jie is actually quite nice...]

[Didn't you feel flustered after holding him for so long?]

That's enough, Hu Yu'en. As for Feng Bao, well, she's unlucky to have such a proud and stubborn friend like you. But you can't bully Jie Bao like this, or you'll ruin her life.

My mind is in turmoil... If you're talking about being a little irritated, then yes, it is, but with so many people watching, and a proud and a clueless guy fighting outside, if I keep messing around like this, you'll see my corpse in a few days.

"Hmph hmph hmph hmph..."

Where did that kitten's breath come from?

Lin Mo turned around, thinking it was Feng Bao coming to punish him, but it turned out to be Shen Yanxi.

"Senior, I saw everything... your little tricks." She said in a low voice, her face dark.

"..."

"You want to join too?"

"Perverted senior! I don't want to! And you just took advantage of me! Xixi is very angry, senior, you did it on purpose!"

Shen Yanxi immediately bristled, not only retreating far away but also her bright eyes welling up with tears.

Lin Mo was taken aback, realizing that this girl seemed quite sensitive about physical contact...

That's true. If someone talks about pure love all the time, it's not surprising that they actually practice it.

"What are you looking at! I'm not asking you to take responsibility... Xixi doesn't care about you anymore! You're such a jerk!"

Although Shen Yanxi was rebuffed, she was reasonable and knew he didn't mean it. She stomped her foot, turned around, and hugged the still shy Jie Bao, sulking miserably.

But before long,

A medal was hung around her neck.

"Here's the gold medal I requested ahead of time. Thank you for your help..."

Shen Yanxi snapped out of her daze. The school had a rule that a record-breaking gold medal could be exchanged for a scholarship...

She was suddenly startled.

Chapter 109 The Curse Between Feng and Ran

On the way from the stands to the base camp,

"By the way, where did Wanfeng and Qingran go?"

"Hmm... does Ya Jie really want to see them that much?" Hu Yu'en revealed a sly smile. A closer look revealed that the girl also had a small canine tooth, visible when she smiled.

Unlike Jiang Wanfeng, the arrogant girl has two sharp canine teeth, very noticeable and sharp to the touch, making her breath appear exceptionally fierce.

She often bites her lip when she's eating, and when she was little, she would cry for a long time every time. She would pretend that she wasn't afraid of pain and leave the table to secretly cry in her bedroom.

However, Hu Yu'en usually smiles with her lips pursed, a dignified and distant smile, rarely this playful one.

When she makes that sly, seductive smile, it usually means she's about to play a prank or be affectionate.

"If they come back~"

Chen Yajie stared at Hu Yu'en meaningfully, then suddenly regretted asking the question.

What she really wanted to ask was, 'When are Qingran and Wanfeng coming back...?'

Just like when I was a kid, my parents would go to work, and I'd secretly play on the computer at home. I'd always call them near the end of the workday to ask how much longer they'd be gone...

Usually, people ask this because they don't want their parents to come home too early, so they want to play on the computer a little longer, or they want to know in advance what time their parents will be back, so they can be sure how long they can play without being caught...

This is a very normal feeling, and that's exactly what Chen Yajie was thinking. However, she didn't want others to think she was being too selfish, so she changed "when" to "where she went," thus transitioning from time to place.

Even the gentlest animals have moments of possessiveness towards their food, not to mention she had just been immersed in this addictive, ambiguous relationship...

I couldn't hide it from the class monitor after all... She definitely figured it out...

"No, no, just asking casually..."

"Really? Then Ya-jie is doing it on purpose~"

"..." Chen Yajie lowered her head and remained silent.

"Haha, just kidding~" Hu Yu'en's lewd hand ruffled Chen Yajie's soft cheek.

"Then, class monitor, why did Wanfeng and Qingran start arguing?" Chen Yajie asked the question that should have been strange from the beginning.

"Ah... well, you know Wanfeng has a rather strange temper. Although she and Lin Mo are relatives, they have a very good relationship... Anyway, well, seeing Qingran like that, cough cough, being a bit close to Lin Mo, makes you angry, right?"

Hu Yu'en hesitated for a moment, but eventually managed to explain it clearly, albeit haltingly.

Chen Yajie puffed out her cheeks, still somewhat doubtful. She had no siblings, but seeing her close friends being so affectionate with others seemed like a normal thing to do, so it was understandable to feel jealous...

Jealousy... that's too much. Maybe it's just being too childish?

As they approached the base camp, the two women each had their own thoughts, occasionally pretending to look into the distance while secretly smiling sweetly.

For a moment, I forgot that the person I was daydreaming about was still behind me...

"Oh right, Lin Mo, he..." Chen Yajie had just turned around when...

Then, Lin Mo was seen being hurriedly pulled away by Shen Yanxi.

"Huh? What is Xixi doing..."

...

In a deserted corner,

"I do not want!"

Shen Yanxi was furious, having lost her usual lively spirit.

"Back to you!"

He grabbed Lin Mo's hand and handed the gleaming gold medal back to him.

"Do you even know what you're doing, you scumbag! I told you not to do this to me, not to do this, not to do this!"

The girl's bright eyes narrowed, tears welling up, the ripples reflecting neon colors in the sunlight.

That bastard, no wonder so many girls... he's absolutely awful!

It's as if, unintentionally, at the moment when someone's emotions are at their most extreme, you suddenly step into the softest, most vulnerable, and most worried part of their heart...

That's so vicious, so disgusting! How could anyone do that? What do they take her for...?

Looking back now, she initially had a good impression of him, but after discovering he was a complete jerk, her opinion of him plummeted. Yet, he helped her many times, and Lin Mo was constantly pulling her emotions in different directions.

She knew that girls were more likely to be robbed of their treasures than to find them in the trash.

She witnessed Lin Mo's entanglement with several girls, gained insight into Jiang Wanfeng's inner world, and saw her infatuation with this scumbag. It was as if she had spotted a treasure that everyone wanted to touch...

She's an orphan like me, so I can understand and respect her thoughts...

My perception of him changed so subtly that even when I called him "scumbag," the insult and anger were gone. Instead, there was a strange feeling that "it's a nickname; calling him 'scumbag' instead of his name seems a little more intimate..."

He knew perfectly well that record-breaking medals could be exchanged for money... and he knew that money was what she needed most right now.

You'll become dependent, starting with material things, then moving to psychological support, and eventually completely succumbing to him. By then, it'll be too late to realize what's happening, and you'll be caught in the same vortex as these other girls...

But, but how come they can still laugh...?

At that moment, without a doubt, my heart skipped a beat. The medal, still damp with his sweat, suddenly pressed against my neck, a suffocating feeling... Everything before my eyes seemed to disappear, my head spinning...

Absolutely not!

Lin Mo watched as her face flushed and paled in turns, and realized that what he had done was inappropriate...

Subconsciously wanting to consider everyone's feelings, I included her, since she had indeed helped.

"Okay, actually it won't fetch much money, only about a hundred yuan..."

"Then I don't want it either!" Shen Yanxi shouted loudly, "Xixi forgives you this time! There won't be a next time!"

"If you keep doing this, if you keep doing this... I..."

"Well!"

Before Shen Yanxi could finish her harsh words, Lin Mo suddenly covered her mouth, pulled her around the waist, and hid her in the nearby bushes.

After a brief respite, he pulled her into the bushes, leading her to the woods where school patrols frequently caught young couples dating too early. They hid behind a large tree, a tree close to a wall...

The girl's eyes widened, a fleeting look of fear and terror crossing her face, before she was pulled tightly into a hug again, pressed against the wall. He pressed himself against her, blocking her view of the outside world; all the light was cut off, and she could only see his Adam's apple...

"Don't talk yet."

His mind went completely blank in an instant. The girl's beautiful eyes narrowed into cross-eyed stares as she watched his Adam's apple bob up and down...

I've become an idiot...

"Li Qingran, I know you like him. You don't need to pretend anymore. There's no one here. Just admit it."

"do not like."

"Still pretending? Heh... Are you afraid I'll tell him the truth?"

Just then, a familiar voice came from nearby, separated only by a tree and a few clumps of grass.

"Thump, thump..."

She couldn't tell if it was his or her own heartbeat, but it pounded like a drum, crashing against her chest.

Wow, that's so exciting...

Is Li Qingran and Jiang Wanfeng arguing outside? It's the first time Xixi has witnessed this, and she's very curious...

But she dared not show herself at this moment. If they discovered that she and Lin Mo were having a secret rendezvous in this grove, they would definitely grab her and pull her hair.

You can only listen secretly, very secretly, and very carefully.

I resisted the urge to smell Lin Mo's scent, so I just kept my eyes crossed, staring at his neck and letting my mind wander...

"Coward! I'll just tell him you like him, and see if you can still be deskmates!"

"..."

"Ah."

"You just... that's it?"

"Fengbao is stupid."

"Don't call me Fengbao anymore! Don't you think it's disgusting to hear you say that?"

"will not."

"Ranbao Ranbao Ranbao Ranbao Ranbao Ranbao Ranbao Ranbao... How about it? Are you satisfied? Did you enjoy listening to it?!"

"unhappy."

"Is that all you can say? You have no guts!"

Jiang Wanfeng was furious, feeling like she had punched cotton with all her might. She bared her little tiger teeth and hissed.

This time he was really fierce, not the kind of gentle, affectionate hiss he gave Lin Mo.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she couldn't help but push Li Qingran's shoulder.

She didn't control her strength well and didn't expect Li Qingran to be completely unprepared. The aloof girl was pushed to the ground in one go.

"what..."

Jiang Wanfeng was momentarily stunned. He was about to apologize and help her up, but then he realized the ground was grass and it wouldn't hurt if she fell. Since the other person didn't make any move, he gave up.

"Humph."

She snorted coldly.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to fall so easily, I didn't even use any force... Ah!"

Jiang Wanfeng was halfway through her awkward movement when she lost her footing. Li Qingran hooked one of her feet and pulled her, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground as well...

Between being pushed down and losing your balance and falling, which hurts more?
