Chapter 116 The Pair of Fans

"You two..."

"Have a cold?"

Lin Mo's feigned ignorance clearly displeased both girls.

There's a big difference between special concern and mere politeness.

Li Qingran's ethereal voice, filtered through the mask, originally had a somewhat aloof tone, but after the sweet breath of the young girl collided inside the mask, it acquired a coquettish nasal tone.

"Shouldn't you just ask me? Why did you have to include her? That stinky Lin Mo... tsk."

Jiang Wanfeng's very distinctive large, bright eyes with single eyelids, accentuated by the mask covering her other facial features, seemed to have their own background music playing...

After what seemed like an unknown fight, both girls were clearly very sensitive, and they sat down beside him as if in a huff.

Lin Mo's words immediately reignited their emotions.

This was an initiative to seek care.

It's like a kitten going out to fight and getting bullied by the neighbor's cat. It then sheepishly returns to its owner, acting all pitiful and wanting to be petted.

The two fighting kittens only realized they shared the same owner when they were in their owner's arms.

Even when they're being affectionate, they have to compete and compare.

Every kitten wants more attention, but the owner just strokes their heads at the same time and tells them to stop making a fuss...

"..."

“Jiang, please face up to the relationship between him and me. In terms of physical distance, I am closer to him than you are.”

Li Qingran cast a cold glance at her, "Our relationship as deskmates might be closer than you think."

Do you find it shameful to show concern for your deskmate?

[What's with all the arrogance about a guy you secretly like?]

“You’re a boy and a girl, how can you…” Jiang Wanfeng said directly.

"you are not?"

"I'm different from you."

"Yes, there is definitely a difference between classmates and deskmates."

"That's hilarious! It's just that you're closer to him at school, what's there to brag about..."

Jiang Wanfeng gave a very charming hum.

"After leaving school, do you still have other connections?"

Li Qingran remained silent, glanced at Lin Mo, and pinched her fingers together...

Yes, and it's much more "legitimate" than Jiang Wanfeng's.

However, she couldn't say. She only knew that Jiang Wanfeng held a very important place in Lin Mo's heart, but she didn't know the extent of Jiang Wanfeng's tolerance.

The fact that these somewhat dishonest probing haven't completely erupted is only because Jiang Wanfeng knows very little about her.

If it weren't for Lin Mo, she would rather he were utterly defeated and crying his eyes out right now...

“At school, studying is the main thing; I don’t overstep the boundaries like you do.”

After a long silence, the girl gave this official answer.

"Heh, you're so smug..." Jiang Wanfeng arrogantly raised her chin.

Because her face is small and the mask is large, her chin didn't achieve the desired "smug" effect.

Perhaps as a chain reaction, she also stopped herself from saying that.

Lin Mo can't know... Even a suspicion is acceptable, but knowing for certain that Li Qingran likes him is a completely different matter...

"Hmph... Yes, studies come first, that's true... I, I don't mean anything by it, I'm just afraid Lin Mo will be bullied by you!"

Jiang Wanfeng also gave an official response, crossing her arms in a serious manner.

"He might actually enjoy being bullied," Li Qingran said thoughtfully, offering a rebuttal.

"No...it depends on the method. Too much violence is unbearable," Lin Mo, caught in the middle, offered his opinion.

"..."

Li Qingran rubbed her temples and sighed helplessly.

"It's quite disgusting."

She can now express her discomfort, unlike when they first met when she foolishly wanted to give Lin Mo a full-body massage.

Jiang Wanfeng narrowed her eyes, swaying her serpentine waist with a look of disdain. She had intended to create some distance, but considering that Li Qingran hadn't fled, she calmed down.

"Lin Mo, you're getting more and more vulgar..."

[I raised him myself...so what if he's filthy...I'm only after him anyway.]

Fengbao, doesn't your conscience hurt when you think like this? In terms of being perverted, I'm probably not even a tenth as bad as you.

Seeing that the two girls were becoming increasingly hostile towards him,

"So, why are you wearing masks?"

Lin Mo changed the subject, while gesturing with his eyes to Hu Yu'en, who was squatting on a pile of grass not far away, counting ants.

Having been fed well in the morning, the fox was full of energy. Upon receiving instructions, it grabbed Jiebao, who had just finished shopping, and Shen Yanxi, who was writing down the battle plan, and rushed towards Lin Mo's direction.

To temporarily divert their conflict, he alone is definitely not enough.

"Fengfeng, where did you go for lunch? Did you eat?" Hu Yu'en sat down next to Jiang Wanfeng.

"Wearing masks means..." Chen Yajie was pulled over in a daze. The first thing she noticed was the two people's outfits; for a moment, she didn't even recognize them.

"Huh? Why would you do that?"

"..."

"I ate chili peppers, so I got a sore throat," Jiang Wanfeng explained, lowering her head.

"Even if you get a sore throat, it wouldn't happen this quickly, right? Wearing a mask caused acne? That's impossible with your skin type~" Shen Yanxi analyzed methodically.

"Food that's too spicy is irritating," Li Qingran added appropriately.

"Oh~ Is it because your face and lips are red from the spiciness? So you're wearing a mask to cover it up?"

Hu Yu'en deliberately leaned closer, whispering in her haughty best friend's ear, "You're so hot even through the mask, Fengfeng, what kind of spicy food did you eat?"

"If you can't eat spicy food, you should eat less." Chen Yajie, a former cook, has the right to speak on this matter.

"But I remember Qingran is really good at eating spicy food, right?"

"..."

"Hmm, spicy is fine, but oily spiciness is too pungent," Li Qingran murmured, glancing sideways.

"Ah~ that's true. Oily chili peppers can easily choke you, and then your face will turn bright red!"

Chen Yajie smiled, as if she had just thought of an idea, and held up one index finger.

"Hey~ I really want to see what Qingran and Wanfeng are like now? Because they usually seem like such aloof girls, is that okay, okay~"

He sat down next to Li Qingran, looking at her with a sincere gaze that was hard to refuse.

Hu Yu'en's lewd hands also reached out to her best friend.

Lin Mo sensed the atmosphere was a bit strange; Feng Bao's innermost thoughts had vanished... He stood up and pretended to go get a drink of water.

He could roughly guess some of it, and he hesitated about whether or not to do it...

[Information in advance: Revealing the truth will benefit you all in the future...]

This is how the intelligence was given.

Lin Mo understood that they needed to have an open and honest conversation... Not only Jiang Wanfeng and Li Qingran, but also Chen Yajie and Hu Yu'en, were on the verge of pent-up emotions.

The moment he managed to escape, the girls seemed completely relieved and surrounded the two girls who were wearing masks because they had eaten spicy food.

"No, not now, not now..."

"Hey, there's no one else here, we're blocking the way~"

Hu Yu'en smiled, and taking advantage of Jiang Wanfeng's momentary lapse in attention, she hooked the strap of her mask as she shook her head...

When a clear, indelible handprint appears,

The fox's eyes widened in alarm as she hurriedly tried to put the glove back on her best friend, but failed twice due to nervousness. In the end, Jiang Wanfeng put it on herself...

The other two girls also happened to catch a glimpse of it, and as they were momentarily stunned, the smiles on their faces vanished.

Then there's no need to look at Li Qingran...

There must be a handprint there too.

Bright red,

"Haha~ Looks like the chili peppers are really spicy..."

Chen Yajie's biggest fear was that her friendships would crack; she never expected this, never at all.

I was just thinking that I could just say a few words and move on, and that everyone shouldn't act like this...

It was confirmed. Even if she didn't want to believe it, she had to admit that Wan Feng, like Qing Ran, was attracted to Lin Mo...

Her own confirmation doesn't count; she can confirm it herself, pretend she doesn't know, and continue with the status quo.

As long as everyone is happy, anything goes.

If she's gone to such lengths, what will she do? If a fight breaks out, she'll definitely be the first to kneel down, covering her head and begging everyone to stop...

This time, especially in front of the class monitor, it was tantamount to directly exposing her lie.

Chen Yajie could understand; the class monitor was so smart, she must have realized long ago that Lin Mo's feelings for her were unusual.

The class monitor must be feeling terrible, being caught between two friends.

"We can try it together sometime, I'm a little curious~"

"Um, Xixi, uh, can you eat spicy food?"

As the instigator, Hu Yu'en was caught between not daring to look at her best friend or Chen Yajie, and could only try to talk to Shen Yanxi.

Perhaps doing this will help mend the current atmosphere.

It was too late.

"Jiang Wanfeng, are you satisfied?"

Li Qingran said coldly,

The girl ripped off her mask, as if tearing away her last pretense. Although the mask didn't cover her eyes, her gaze now revealed an extraordinary anger.

"Is this what you wanted?"

Before the masks are removed, there can be give and take, and mutual tolerance is possible.

Big or small matters, once they're brought into the open, they can't escape the judgment of one's own conscience.

After saying this, Li Qingran stood up and left the base camp.

Jiang Wanfeng kept her head down, unable to remove her mask.

"I...I'll go find Qingran..." Chen Yajie said with a complicated expression. "Class monitor, why don't you stay with Wanfeng...it's normal for friends to have disagreements..."

"Okay..." The fox nodded, nudging her best friend, who then ignored her.

Hu Yu'en immediately deflated like a punctured balloon.

"Wanfeng..."

"Did you know before? Yu'en, tell me the truth about Li Qingran."

Jiang Wanfeng arched his long legs, hugged his knees, and asked in a muffled voice.

"Hmm..." Hu Yu'en nodded with difficulty.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Because Wanfeng will be very angry... After all, Li Qingran and Lin Mo don't really have anything going on... Wanfeng, you have to believe him, he..."
