"Now, immediately, you are not allowed to delete anything."

"..."

Ran Bao is so rebellious.

He picked up his phone, silently hid the chat history of several girls, then opened up Li Qingran's privacy settings and showed her the phone.

Li Qingran nodded.

"Yes, and then, a couple's space."

"Huh? I don't have this..."

"Bound to Qingran."

"...OK."

Watching Lin Mo finish everything, Li Qingran crossed her arms and let out a mournful snort.

"Lin Mo, if you hadn't tried to argue, Qing Ran wouldn't have been so fierce with you."

"Yes, yes, I'll accept it from now on..."

He stopped talking back altogether and was completely humiliated by Ran Bao, who hung him up and slaughtered him mercilessly with interest.

"Since Xixi is here today, this is the end of the day."

Li Qingran gathered her loose hair, the swaying strands subtly concealing a fleeting smile, leaving Lin Mo with only her stunningly beautiful, icy profile.

But Shen Yanxi was facing directly and could see clearly. Suddenly, for some reason, the tip of her nose felt sore.

The two, both orphans like her, seemed to have found each other's emotional support, leaning on each other for comfort.

When I think of myself, I feel inexplicably sad and lonely.

Is Xixi also part of your play...?

But it was Xixi's own fault for bringing this upon herself; she insisted on bothering them. Judging from their behavior, they probably know what they're doing.

Sleeping next door isn't so bad... at least I won't have my mouth stuffed with food...

Shen Yanxi's thinking was off-topic; she didn't delve into the complex relationship between Lin Mo and the socks, simply considering it an abstract concept.

And to be honest, getting a foot massage is truly relaxing, both physically and mentally...

"Xixi, are you going to stay here?"

Changing the subject, Li Qingran looked at her.

Their relationship has improved; Qingran even calls her Xixi now. After all, she's not deliberately trying to be cute; that's just her catchphrase.

It's wonderful that Qingran approves of her, but it's a pity she's destined not to be one of them.

It seems I've finally understood something. What has always attracted me isn't just her naive "pure love and justice," but also the warmth and sweetness emanating from several girls who constantly challenged my worldview, going against the grain.

Everyone loves a warm and inviting home, and Shen Yanxi was no exception. She was curious, she longed for it, and she couldn't believe that something beautiful could exist within a world of love that she herself had rejected. So she approached, under the guise of so-called justice.

Shen Yanxi has her own bottom line, the boundaries of which Lin Mo has been constantly blurring. Now she wants to make that bottom line clear again.

They were secretly competing with each other.

What will the future hold? There's only one Li Qingran; will Jiang Wanfeng be the second Qingran? Even the seemingly weak Chen Yajie has a strong side, and the humble Hu Yu'en has her moments of explosive power...

Lin Mo, what would you do?

Let Xixi see how to do it properly. Since Xixi isn't involved, she can let go of the past...

"Hmm~" Shen Yanxi shook her head, "Since we're already here, I feel safer with the three of us together."

Compared to,

The thatched hut surrounded by relatives who forced her to obey filial piety; the abandoned coffin, considered a family scandal that couldn't be aired in public; the chilly underpass under the highway; the filthy rental room so bad it was infested with rats.

This is already very good.

I don't know if the sense of security came from Li Qingran, Lin Mo, or both of them.

Speaking of which, she had even lain down in the cemetery. It was cool and icy, no different from lying on a regular stone slab. But lying there, she would think of when she was very young, when the three of them, as a family, would visit the county town and sit on the cool, icy stone benches in the park...

"Time to turn off the lights."

Li Qingran reminded him, "He snores at night."

"Really?" Lin Mo thought Ran Baochun was being unfairly criticized.

"Yeah, it'll pretend to snore, then deliberately get close and inhale forcefully..."

"Yes, yes, she does snore." Lin Mo covered Li Qingran's mouth; not everything could be told to outsiders.

If this gets out, Shen Yanxi's reputation will be ruined for Fox, Jiebao, and Fengbao.

Especially for Jiebao, what to do when she's disillusioned?

"It's alright, Xixi will sleep here. You're not allowed to do anything strange! Xixi is a light sleeper; she'll wake up if there's any strange noise!"

Just as the lights went out, Shen Yanxi gave one last tug-of-war with her little fist.

Actually, she would encourage herself like this every time before going to sleep.

Sleeping is a very challenging thing for her.

Once, when she lost all will to live, she would hide in the woodshed, light the stove, fill it with firewood, close all the windows, and then think about having a good night's sleep before leaving this world.

But she would wake up suddenly in the night, her will to survive making her escape the carbon monoxide poisoning. Once, she accidentally set fire to the woodshed and was caught by her aunt, who told her very fiercely that she must be sent away to get married... She was so distraught that she dared not fall asleep.

I've gradually developed a habit of being a light sleeper, and I need to calm my mind before falling asleep...

This is why she could easily sense it when Jiang Wanfeng did *that* the day before yesterday.

Even sleeping with Li Qingran last night, I didn't feel at peace, because Li Qingran's own mind was in turmoil...

On the contrary, when I was sleeping in Lin Mo's bed, I seemed to relax inexplicably... and slept very well.

At that moment, the air around her seemed to freeze, so stable and peaceful. Her breathing was effortless, as if someone was helping her breathe...

I don't know if there will be any left tonight.

After all, Lin Mo was right next to them.

She was too embarrassed to say this to herself, so Xixi wasn't really a silly girl who kept shouting about pure love and justice all day long.

Everyone wears a mask, and she is no exception. Perhaps her selfish desires outweigh her ideals.

But Lin Mo has worn down his ideals...

"Lin Mo, don't bury your head under the covers."

"It's cold outside."

"If Lin Mo keeps taking deep breaths, he will suffocate."

"..."

"Does Ranbao's body odor contain oxygen?"

"No, and besides, if Lin Mo said something like that, Qing Ran would really want to scold you."

"What are you cursing about?" Lin Mo asked curiously.

"Scum, pest, bastard... Phew, I haven't learned any more insults with modifiers yet. Do you want more?"

"Thank you, it's delicious."

"Hey! You two, that's enough! Xixi's sleepy!"

Shen Yanxi was just immersed in her own world of sadness when her conversation with the two of them broke the silence.

You can't understand what they're saying, but just listening to them makes you blush and your heart race.

"Good night."

Goodnight, Ranbao.

"..."

Shen Yanxi hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

Why didn't you say goodnight to Xixi...?

Even if she's a third wheel, she shouldn't not even say goodnight, right?

Qingran said goodnight to her yesterday...

He turned over and tossed and turned until he fell asleep.

She thought she must have fallen asleep, because the night quickly became quiet.

But it was all blurry and indistinct, and soon it became noisy, making her ears itch.

I initially thought Lin Mo was going to do something bad to Li Qingran.

Suddenly, he lay down beside her and whispered in her ear,

"Get up and do me a favor."

Chapter 127 Don't wake Li Qingran...

"Stinky pervert... Clean..."

Shen Yanxi instinctively wanted to shout out.

It's like a puppy facing a sudden stranger; even though it has no ability to protect itself, it still tries to act fiercely and intimidatingly, attempting to scare away the enemy.

Of course, the puppy didn't really intend to scare the other dog away; it just knew that humans preferred a dog that would fight back to a clingy, submissive puppy. It found these dogs more interesting to bully, and watching it yelp was better than simply killing it.

In addition, the puppy will also whine, trying to call for its mother to protect it.

She also wanted to wake Li Qingran and strike back at Lin Mo, that beast who would raid at night.

As a result, Lin Mo covered her mouth tightly and even grabbed her neck, making it impossible for her to make a sound, not even a whimper.

"I don't have a hand to pick you up right now. Either you walk by yourself, or I'll put my mouth on yours and carry you to the living room with one hand free."

Lin Mo's low voice boomed in her ear.

Is he really going to do this to her...? Why? What's the reason? Helping him? Helping him with what...? Solving...solving what kind of problem...?

Like in the TV dramas, the exploited and kept in suspense by his mistress, the unpleasant married man, unable to vent his anger, takes it out on his young female slave...

Xixi, Xixi doesn't know... She's only ever read about relationships between men and women in biology books, and she hasn't seriously studied in a year...

What should he do? Should he take off his pants first or his clothes first? Or would Lin Mo feel more aroused wearing Qing Ran's pajamas...?

That wretched Lin Mo! He must know he can't confront Uncle Hat, and since he still has to eat and stay there, he can't report him to Li Qingran. He can only swallow his anger and bear it silently... He wants to cry but can't, he endures it in silence, feeling extremely wronged but not daring to even breathe on it...

Ugh, ugh, what am I going to do?

Shen Yanxi dared not raise her voice, afraid that Lin Mo would directly shut her up, so she took the initiative to grab his shoulders and wrap her arms around his waist like an octopus, timidly raising her eyes and saying with a hint of resentment:

"Keep your voice down, don't wake Qingran..."

If she were woken up, Li Qingran would definitely go to the kitchen, grab a cleaver, and chop her into pieces.

This sentence confused Lin Mo. Why does it sound like he's stealing... Wait, you're going to be the second fox?

Even if the fox is humble, if someone tries to take the place that rightfully belongs to her, the fox's bestial nature will not be spared...

Lin Mo knew perfectly well that Hu Yu'en's seemingly heartless cheerfulness stemmed from the fact that no trouble was coming her way, allowing her to enjoy the leftovers...

Lin Mo picked up Shen Yanxi, who had been tamed in an instant, and carried her to the living room. He was wondering whether to close the door, but Shen Yanxi herself hooked her little foot and closed the door shut, making almost no sound.

Who did you learn it from...?

Before Lin Mo could even speak after placing her on the sofa, Shen Yanxi immediately prostrated herself, bowing in submission.

"You, come here!"

"Xixi, Xixi is ready. From now on, I'll repay all the favors I owe you... and cut all ties!"

The girl's pouting, unwilling, indignant, aggrieved, and helpless expression, coupled with her soft, threatening tone, was exceptionally adorable.

After saying that, she closed her beautiful amber eyes in the night.

The living room is colder, especially when cold winds blow in from all directions.

Her long, slightly curled eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings.
