"Put it on me!"

"Good~"

"The water I gave you really worked! You've won a medal now!"

"..."

Jiang Wanfeng watched a couple walking ahead of her; they seemed to be more than friends but less than lovers. The girl happily put on the medal the boy had won in the competition.

At school sports meets, the so-called desire to win a medal is really just a way to show off a little in front of the person you like, hoping they'll see it.

The woman wearing the medal the man won, even if it's the biggest one, is a response to their relationship...

Thinking back to the bittersweet memory of arguing with Li Qingran all day, and the lingering pain on my cheek,

Jiang Wanfeng couldn't help but feel a little envious; she could have had such a wonderful relationship with Lin Mo...

Did Lin Mo bring his medal?

But given her personality, it's unlikely she'd ask him for it.

She is simply strong-willed and straightforward, but lacks directness, rendering all the previous assertiveness ineffective.

"You have one too, stop looking."

The moment Jiang Wanfeng's little thought crossed her mind, Lin Mo's hand swept over her slender shoulders, the already nonexistent distance becoming infinitely close to an embrace...

She subconsciously looked up, and the red ribbon holding the easily fading gold medal slid down her neck following her gaze.

Suddenly, the gleaming gold medals, illuminated by the particularly bright lights of the stairwell, became eye-catching.

The beautiful girl and the gleaming gold medal instantly made her the center of attention.

The couple who were still playfully bickering ahead froze in their smiles upon seeing this; their attempt to show off their affection had backfired, and they'd ended up being the ones doing the show...

"Let's go, there are still two more tomorrow. Go home and practice your neck, so you won't be unable to hold it up by tomorrow."

"Who wants to practice their neck..." Jiang Wanfeng said, embarrassed and annoyed. Unable to bear the stares from those around her, she quickly walked away from his arm, not far from the stairwell.

But at the top of the stairs, she pursed her lips, suppressing a smile, crossed her arms, and tilted her chin up, silently waiting for him to catch up.

Perhaps she felt more proud of her beloved's achievements than of her own pride.

Jiang Wanfeng doesn't like sparkly jewelry, nor does she like to flaunt what she owns.

The only thing worth boasting about is, and only is, Lin Mo.

For example, holding up a medal and waving it towards the moon, making it impossible for people to look away.

This was a gift from her sweetheart, meant to show others how deep their feelings were, how outstanding he was, and how worthy she was of being with him, even at the cost of everything.

In school, gifts exchanged between boys and girls often carried great sentiment, even if they were small. Perhaps nothing carries more weight and meaning than a medal earned through hard work and effort.

Except for a love letter.

"This is a gift for me, right?"

Waiting for Lin Mo to catch up with her, Jiang Wanfeng, with her hands behind her back, lightly skipped to his side.

His pupils were blurred like ink, clean and clear, reflecting his face.

This action bears a resemblance to Hu Yu'en's; it's likely that Tea Fox taught her that.

"I'll hang it up for you first."

"What? It's not for me..."

"I promised Li Qingran I'd put it on her." Lin Mo knew that his words were just stirring up trouble.

But he couldn't keep pretending to be clueless forever; he had to at least get Jiang Wanfeng to accept the idea that 'he and Li Qingran were fairly decent, normal friends.'

Otherwise, in order to ensure Jiang Wanfeng's emotional stability, he would inevitably have to show much less concern for Li Qingran in their daily life...

"..."

His words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her, extinguishing the sweet affection that had just blossomed in the proud young woman.

"so..."

She pouted, then lowered her head, pretending not to care as she twirled her hair.

The ends of her smooth, straight hair were curled into a considerable arc by her habitual movements.

The difference between Jiang Wanfeng and before is that she is now able to control her emotions to some extent.

A little bit of willfulness and arrogance is innate and cannot be eradicated.

But at least in front of Lin Mo, he can't throw a tantrum and act heart-wrenchingly like before. That's a bad habit of his, and he has to get rid of it even if he can't.

It's hard to say whether it's a consequence of her distorted psychology.

It was as if a supreme command had been issued in her mind: 'Don't lose your temper with Lin Mo; he is the victim in this war of love.'

"Lin Mo, you actually have a very good relationship with her?"

"It's alright, just ordinary friends. We argue occasionally, but we'll borrow each other's stationery when we're short of it."

She told a small lie, but for Jiang Wanfeng, saying anything more would be explosive.

"Shall we hold hands?" the girl asked in a low, pleading voice.

"Now?"

"Oh, right..." The girl gave him a small glance and then took his rough hand in hers.

"Hey, you said it yourself before, that we could hold hands on the way home... I didn't mean anything by it... and I didn't force you."

Lin Mo was taken aback. Although school was over, it was still within the school grounds, and Feng Bao, who was always easily embarrassed, would never dare to do such a thing...

"Don't you think she's acting strange?" Jiang Wanfeng asked hesitantly after taking a few steps.

"Li Qingran?"

"Ah."

"He's a strange person. How should I put it? He's very controlling and a bit of a perfectionist. Anyway, he doesn't have many friends."

"..."

"Lin Mo, I don't like her." The girl spoke her mind; for someone of her personality, saying this was already incredibly difficult.

"If you don't like her, you don't like her. It's no big deal if you don't interact with her. It won't hurt you. There's no need to force it," Lin Mo said casually, holding the back of his head.

"But...she's very beautiful."

"you are beautiful too."

"Who's prettier?" Jiang Wanfeng blurted out.

Girls tend to compare themselves to others.

"...You know, I've never been someone who cares about appearances."

"So you just think she's pretty! Just say so..."

"I never said that. Besides, I really think you're very beautiful, even more so than celebrities."

"Yeah~"

Jiang Wanfeng's voice immediately took on a hint of pleasant falsetto; although she was a bit arrogant, she was actually very easy to coax.

As long as one's emotions haven't completely collapsed, a few compliments about how beautiful one is will make one's heart flutter.

"So that means I'm prettier than her?" she asked again, still unconvinced.

"Yes, that's how it is right now."

"Tch... 'At this moment,' what's with the nonsense..."

"You are the most beautiful in my eyes right now."

"loquacious..."

Jiang Wanfeng bumped her head against him, but staggered back a couple of steps, clutching her forehead in pain.

His distinctive little tiger teeth tugged at the silvery strands of his tongue.

"Just the facts."

He was afraid his conscience wouldn't allow it; with Ran Bao present at that moment, it was impossible to say who was truly more attractive than whom.

But when Jiang Wanfeng is alone, let's try to comfort her.

She's probably the girl who's been kept in the dark the most right now, which makes her seem a little pitiful.

It's hard to say whether to thank Shen Yanxi or if he's just lucky; the girl seems to have accepted Li Qingran's presence.

Perhaps today's slapping has actually brought her to her senses.

Overall, the situation is relatively optimistic, without any hysteria.

"You have to cheer me on for my match tomorrow..."

"Can you run 1,500 meters?"

"I'm in great physical condition! I practice every day!"

For some reason, when she mentioned "practicing every day," Jiang Wanfeng's face became rosy and charming.

"How did you practice?" Lin Mo asked knowingly.

"I want you to take care of it!"

She bumped her forehead against his again, breathed on him to cool off, and hurriedly ran away to cool off. Seeing that he wasn't waiting for her, she soon followed him, looking rather resentful.

Like a dog accompanying its owner to the park, it gets excited and runs around when it sees butterflies and flowers, then barks loudly once its owner is out of sight, never leaving their side.

Humans like to keep cats and dogs as pets, perhaps because their habits are inherently close to human nature.

Clingy, loyal, can be affectionate, can have a temper, always puts you first, and is understanding.

These are wonderful girls; they all possess a cute and innocent side, like little animals, which often makes Lin Mo think of them as kittens or puppies.

I want to pet her.

...

"Senior...your house is so big!"

Shen Yanxi was caught by Li Qingran at the villa. She was initially worried that she would be locked in a dark room and severely punished.

I never expected the treatment to be so high!

Lady Xixi has never lived in a big villa before... and her first time is like this, um...

"Xixi will definitely be able to buy a big villa in the future!"

"If you want it, I can sell it to you cheaply."

"Huh? How much is the cheapest price...?"

"Whatever. The money from the sale is enough for Lin Mo and me to buy another small house."

Shen Yanxi thought she had misheard. What was going on? She wasn't even at the age to talk about marriage yet, and she was already thinking about how to support a family.

"Also, this isn't my home."

"Huh? It's not the senior's?"

"It belongs to me and Lin Mo."

"..."

"After we graduate and get married, his name will be on the property certificate."

"..."

“I gave him my bank card, property certificate, and ID card.”

"..."

Shen Yanxi was utterly shocked and couldn't understand what this was at all.

"Hey, senior, even if you really like him, you don't have to risk your entire fortune..."

The energetic young woman suddenly lost all interest in enjoying the villa; she was now thinking about how to win back this wayward girl.

This is downright blatant fraud, a complete swindle of money and sex! They're trying to take everything from Li Qingran!
