As if he had suffered a great humiliation, Li Huowang roared, clutched his chest, and ran out to ride P-chan.
"Damn it, you dead pig, it's all your fault for ruining my reputation!"
After a pig's squeal, followed by laughter, came Li Huowang's screams of agony as Aruba attacked him.
"Is that okay? He probably won't be coming back from evening study session; he'll have to spend the night in the infirmary."
"How terrifying..." Shen Yanxi shuddered and dared not leave.
...
As evening self-study was nearing its end, while Li Qingran went to the restroom, Shen Yanxi gave the package to Lin Mo.
Those gifts were always hidden in her tattered little bag.
Xixi didn't come here to cause trouble; she just wanted to complete the task Lin Mo had given her.
Throughout the entire process, Shen Yanxi seemed even more cautious than him.
"...Xixi didn't see it."
"Uh...it's actually okay to see it."
"Yeah...after all, they didn't give me my share..."
You've served tea too?
Lin Mo glanced at her, but Shen Yanxi, rubbing her eyes, happened to turn her head away and their eyes didn't meet.
"Dingle bell bell~"
"School's out! I'll go see if Qingran's back yet~"
But just as she slung her schoolbag over her shoulder and reached the door, she bumped right into Chen Yajie.
"Lin Mo... Waaah!"
Chapter 136 I'll Stomp You to Death with High Heels
"Ya Jie, what a coincidence...you're here too?"
"How did Xixi get out of here..." Chen Yajie reacted quickly, hiding the carefully wrapped gift bag behind her back.
Before Lin Mo accepted it, Chen Yajie didn't really want anyone else to see it.
Because it will be talked about, it will be the focus of attention, and most importantly, it will embarrass Lin Mo...
Unexpectedly, taking advantage of the momentum from the collision, Shen Yanxi hugged her tightly.
"Go quickly... Lin Mo has a gift for you, good luck."
"Gift..."
Before she could say anything more, Shen Yanxi let go of her, "I'm going to find Qingran, I can buy you some time..."
He left those words behind and ran off.
Shen Yanxi's behavior seems strange... I don't quite understand, but it seems like I'm trying to buy her some time.
It doesn't need to take long, as long as I can give her the gift I prepared.
As for what Lin Mo wanted to give her... well, it seems there was such a thing. She did something very embarrassing back then—she gave him her socks.
Will I get a gift in return?
"I don't want to think about it anymore, I just need to get it to him quickly..."
"Lin Mo~"
Her sweet smile, accompanied by the melodious voice of a young girl, instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yajie quickly covered her face and hurried to Lin Mo's side.
For some reason, Chen Yajie's heart was pounding as she received this "very precious" and meaningful gift for the first time in such a formal manner.
Especially since she had just specifically sent Wan Feng away to ask him to help her find a test paper in the office, and now Shen Yanxi had sent Qing Ran away as well...
Unfortunately, the class monitor wasn't there either.
Like the fear of theft, it tore at her chest, almost suffocating her, just like the little white socks she had given Lin Mo a few days ago...
It's the kind of situation where you have to clutch your chest and gasp for breath for half an hour afterward, and even cry tears of tension to calm down...
"Lin Mo..."
"What's the matter? Sit down and talk."
"Ah... okay, but this is... isn't this Qingran's seat..."
"It's okay, she's not here."
She's not here... Lin Mo, is she implying that I can be a little braver?
Chen Yajie took a deep breath and obediently sat down. The lingering warmth of the chair made her tremble violently.
It's like he's issuing a challenge to Qingran...
Two small, pale hands emerged from under her thick coat and rested on her lap, unconsciously clenching. The girl's expression turned serious amidst a mix of emotions.
Her thin, pink lips were pressed together into a curved, undulating line, like two peach petals that had just been withered by wind and rain, swaying uncertainly.
"Never mind, I'll go first."
Lin Mo could see that Chen Yajie felt particularly guilty, so he was the only one who could take the lead.
"I'll give you the gift I promised you last time before your coming-of-age ceremony. It's nothing, just a scarf."
He took the scarf, which was in a gift box, out of the drawer and handed it to Chen Yajie, who stared blankly without reacting. So he simply unwrapped it and draped it around her neck.
"Your clothes are always a size too big, they're heavy, and the collars don't cover your neck. It'll be cold this winter, so a scarf would be better."
The fluffy scarf was very soft. She instinctively gripped the end of the scarf tightly; the static electricity rubbed against her skin, causing a subtle, stinging sensation that assaulted her senses...
You're very observant...
Chen Yajie does have a little habit after winter sets in: she breathes warm air onto her hands and then covers her neck with it...
The school rules state that as long as the clothes underneath are school uniforms, it's fine. To save money, Chen Yajie didn't buy a school uniform jacket.
As for the coats she owns at home, they're all low-cut.
Because besides hunger, cold can also make people alert, and low-cut clothing doesn't protect the neck.
During winter study sessions, she liked to sit by the window. Whenever she felt drowsy, she would simply open the window a crack, and the biting cold wind that swept across her thin neck would immediately wake her up...
We don't need to do that anymore...
During evening self-study, as I habitually reached to open the window, I was momentarily chilled, and then I realized that I'm different from before.
Whenever I wanted to eat less, he would feed me until I was full. Then I'd think about how flat my genitals were, and I wouldn't dare eat too little when I was alone. I just wanted to grow up quickly...
Now I'm actually more sensitive to the cold, constantly covering my neck... but I've completely forgotten why I feel cold in the first place.
After all, once you get used to the cold and hunger, you forget why you even needed to get used to them in the first place...
In her young heart, besides her studies and her mother, there was a large space reserved for another person.
"It must have taken a long time to make these clothes."
Lin Mo was so generous that it might seem a bit rude to outsiders; he took away the clothes that Chen Yajie had been sewing for two months.
I brushed past her shoulder, bent down to pick up the gift she had hidden behind her back.
But this rudeness unexpectedly brought her a sweet surprise.
Compared to what was forced upon him, being needed by Lin Mo would certainly make her happier.
"Actually, I guessed it last time at the supermarket. It's not that I'm narcissistic, it's just that you were too obvious."
"However, if there's a next time, remember to sew yourself a thicker coat first. Things aren't like they used to be; we don't need that little bit of money now."
"If you don't do it, don't blame me for buying it for you. I'll buy a whole bunch, more than you can wear."
Oh, so you want Ya-jie to take good care of herself...
She never focuses on herself; she knows how to be good to others, but forgets how to be good to herself.
Lately, you've been very focused on him... Your mind is completely on him, and he's noticed...
"Um..."
"Lin Mo, the clothes..."
"I'll wear it tomorrow," Lin Mo replied instantly.
She's seen through again... Is her little scheme really that obvious?
Being completely open with him, revealing everything—what's the difference between that and confessing your feelings...?
No, or is it because it's Lin Mo that he's so oblivious in this regard? Qing Ran and Wan Feng have been arguing so much, yet he still hasn't stepped in...
Ah, no... the gift is one thing, there's something else...
Hmm, I can't say it.
"Lin Mo... is so stupid~"
Chen Yajie thought of this and suddenly laughed.
The smile lines at the corners of her eyes, like the veins of flower petals, overlapped, creating dimples that sank in like soft candy.
"You've led me astray... What I wanted to say wasn't just this..."
"But, what I'm saying now..."
You'll definitely become Lin the fool, right?
"That's settled then. Ya-jie really likes the scarf."
Given that there were still many people in the classroom, she lowered her voice slightly.
But after lowering her voice, Lin Mo noticed that her peach blossom eyes seemed to be speaking volumes...
"Then, I specially sewed a star onto the garment, in this position..."
Chen Yajie made a small heart shape on her left chest, where her heart would be, reminding her of the goal of "becoming his star."
"I'll keep wearing this scarf. Well, I'll be going now..."
The girl started to leave, her swaying hair not yet settled, then twirled like splashed ink, her gaze spreading out like a vast river of stars.
A pleasant fragrance lingered between them.
He looked at him intently, his gaze burning.
"I'll wear it for my coming-of-age ceremony too."
The implication is that tomorrow, please walk through that door with her too...
After speaking, the girl lowered her head, shrank her neck, and pulled her scarf over half of her face.
Her heavy breathing was completely blocked by the thick scarf, which made her feel dizzy from the heat.
Without waiting for Lin Mo's reply,
I ran out of the classroom and felt the cold air, which helped me recover a bit.
For the first time, I so wished that winter would be the only thing left in the world.
That way, I can keep the scarf on all the time, and after saying sweet nothings, I can hide myself away without him noticing my shy and awkward behavior.
Winter may be cold, but it can't chill a young girl's heart.
"Ding dong~"
My phone rang; it was the notification sound of a message I was particularly concerned about.
Chen Yajie was taken aback and quickly took it out to check.
[Mo]: Why are you walking so fast? There's something else I haven't given you.
[Mo]: I'll give it to you tomorrow.
She stared, stunned. Were there still gifts for her...? Actually, she had seen the shopping bags Lin Mo had packed when he wasn't there; there were many more there, seemingly gifts for other girls...
But if she gets double, does it mean that even the "slow-witted" Lin Mo has finally figured it out...?
