“That makes sense, after all, he was a beggar who crawled out of an orphanage... Qingran told me that Lin Mo started out outsmarting people when he was very young, until all the old men on the street were convinced by him.”

Shen Yanxi muttered to herself, not as if she were talking to Hu Yu'en, but rather as if she were talking to herself.

Hypnotizing myself,

I'm still so annoyed.

"This is the last time Xixi will help you."

"Anyway, I'm very unhappy and don't want to do this anymore."

"I don't know how you managed to get through it."

Patting her bottom, Shen Yanxi left and blended into the busy group of volunteers.

Hu Yu'en lowered her head, her skirt trailing on the ground, covered in dust.

She's not pretty anymore.

What to do...

He came to save me again.

But she couldn't feel happy at all; all she could think was that she must have caused him trouble, and that she would definitely ignore him for a very, very long time...

The plans for the coming-of-age ceremony are going to fall through.

"Yu'en? Is that your classmate? She spoke very well, almost without a script, like a stand-up comedian. She enlivened the atmosphere with just a few words, which is much better than reading from a script."

"Exactly, maybe those old-fashioned teachers don't like to hear that? Haha... He even spoke ill of the principal, and the principal's face turned pale as soon as he sat down."

"It's just senior year of high school, it's okay to go a little crazy."

The host, who had just stepped off the stage, passed by, saw her, and exchanged pleasantries with her.

"Yes...yes, I'm a classmate."

"Oh, but in the future, when you want to collaborate with classmates, you should also discuss it with the teacher first. Otherwise, an accident almost happened."

Was it mistaken by the teacher for a prank by a senior in high school...?

Indeed, in previous coming-of-age ceremonies, some senior students would turn their speeches into a吐槽大会 (a Chinese internet slang term for a speech or a rant)...

But without exception, they all ended up being caught and reprimanded by the head of student affairs...

"When the party is almost over and before you walk through the adult gate, there will be an annual awards ceremony. You'll be presenting the awards for the seniors again."

"okay."

Or rather, I just want to die...

......

"Haha, is this a surprise Lin Mo and the class monitor prepared?" Chen Yajie's eyes sparkled as she looked at the person chatting and laughing on the stage.

"I've never seen him before~ Lin Mo is really amazing in front of everyone."

"Well, that's certainly true..."

Jiang Wanfeng hugged her knees, her face flushed, staring at him on the stage, her throat a little dry.

The thought of her man shining brightly on stage almost made her want to rush up to him and tell the whole world that he was hers, Jiang Wanfeng's...

"Wanfeng, are you blushing?"

"Ah, no, no! Mom, what nonsense are you talking about..."

Honestly, I don't know how it happened, but my mom and Ya Jie's mom became acquainted, and I was forced to sit together. It was so embarrassing...

"Lin Mo used to live in your house?"

"Yes, she grew up with our Wanfeng since she was little."

"No wonder, they are all very outstanding children."

"Hahaha... Wanfeng's suffering is nothing compared to that kid's, he's far inferior."

"Speaking of which, our Ya Jie and he have a good relationship... He's very capable and has helped Ya Jie a lot."

"Hmm? Is that so?" Jiang's mother narrowed her eyes, her gaze mirroring Jiang Wanfeng's wary one.

"Mom...we're just friends..." Chen Yajie said hurriedly, her face flustered, looking around blankly as she tried to change the subject.

They happened to catch a glimpse of Li Qingran, who had broken away from the formation and was walking towards them, seemingly about to leave the audience.

"Hey... Qingran, why is Qingran leaving?"

"Qingran~"

The aloof girl stopped and glanced at them. For some reason, an uncomfortable blush lingered on her usually cold face.

The contrasting beauty of that cold, aloof woman stunned the two middle-aged women.

After hesitating for a moment, recalling how Shen Yanxi greeted people, Li Qingran bowed to the two of them.

"Hello, Auntie. Hello, Ya Jie's mom."

"Ah, hello, hello...you're very polite..." Jiang's mother snapped out of her reverie, sensing that this girl seemed to have a close relationship with the boy she was raising...

What has Wanfeng been doing all this time...? She found such great guys for you to keep you company, and now they're all snatched up by other guys...?

"Qingran, Lin Mo is still up there, aren't you going to continue watching?" Chen Yajie asked with a smile.

When asked this question, Li Qingran's shoulders visibly trembled.

"Um..."

"Go, go wash up."

Jiang Wanfeng also cast a strange glance, then happened to catch a glimpse of what Li Qingran was holding...

ring?

Her breath hitched, and Jiang Wanfeng clenched her small fists, a bad feeling creeping over her...

No way, Li Qingran must have bought it herself to show off...

Lin Mo buys her things with the money he earns from collecting trash... how could he possibly buy a ring for another girl?

"Huh? Why are you going to wash up...?"

"It's dirty."

After leaving this reply, Li Qingran quickly left and headed to the restroom.

Her curled toes made her steps unsteady.

In his mind, Lin Mo was in a public place,

I begged her, saying, "Just pretend you're putting on her shoes, then no one will notice, and there weren't many people around yet..."

Because they need to borrow her so-called "superpower," they need a kiss in order to stand on stage without losing face...

It was still to save the day for another girl... Li Qingran's physical discomfort was compounded by her psychological distress.

In the end, Lin Mo almost collapsed to his knees in despair. She couldn't bear to see him so anxious, so she indulged his behavior.

If it happened again, she'd rather he continue to be anxious... That's ridiculous.

"How can this be...it really, really feels like eating a lollipop..."

With her eyes closed and leaning against the sink, Li Qingran let out a long breath.

Although he looked dazzling on stage, the thought that he had achieved this by borrowing her "superpowers" made him so ashamed he wanted to kill someone...

Indeed, the bottom line can be crossed either zero times or countless times.

When you get home, be sure to wash your face with Safeguard soap...

That's what I was thinking.

Looking at herself in the mirror, her face turned almost as red as Jiang Wanfeng's...

Lin Mo said he really liked her like this.

More humane, more lovable

However, he also said that his usually aloof demeanor is just as endearing.

That bit of anger vanished instantly.

For her, "cute" is not just a simple adjective.

It means "can be deeply loved".

He quickly combed his hair, dampened a tissue to wipe the back of his feet, his expression returning to solemn and cold, and walked back.

Then I heard the broadcast.

"Ah, finally, regarding mindset guidance for learning, everyone says that the pressure of senior year in high school is immense, but actually, it's okay to be a little childish during senior year; it can help relieve stress. For example, I'm still using Safeguard shower gel, and I still use YaYaLe toothpaste, and I always have to ask my mom to help me..."

His voice amplified across the playground, eliciting a burst of laughter, mainly from the students. The principal and other leaders, however, did not look pleased.

Especially Li Huowang and his group, who led the way by shouting things like "Lin Gou evolved without me, huh?!", made the scene even more lively...

Li Qingran's carefully cultivated "aloof" demeanor crumbled once again.

Because...it's always her who Lin Mo calls "Mom"...he feels embarrassed every time she's called that, how can he even bring it up...?

Chapter 141 On Footprints

Although he included a lot of personal opinions, he generally followed the content of the prepared speech.

He certainly couldn't have completed it in a short time with just his brain; it was Ran Bao's Yu Zhu that really came in handy.

There have been precedents for this before; a high school senior's coming-of-age speech turned into a roast session, which is why he dared to try it.

Backstage, that vibrant red came into his view, then vanished in the blink of an eye.

The timid fox believed she had ruined everything and did not take the scholar's concern as a sign of favor.

The way it hides with its tail between its legs is quite endearing, but approaching it at this moment would likely startle the fox.

He exchanged a glance with Shen Yanxi in the crowd; the girl was pouting and making a sour face.

I waved to her, but there was no response.

"Shen Yanxi?"

"Humph~"

Her fair face hardened, and all that remained in his sight was her very cute and charming profile.

He waved to her again, and the girl glanced at him sideways, turning her head from its original right-hand tilt to the left, still sporting a huffy and charming expression.

She even made a face at him.

So cute, I want to catch her sticking-out tongue.

There was no other way but for him to go.

"you..."

"Humph."

"Can't speak anymore, huh?"

"No matter what, Xixi is unhappy right now."

"What's bothering you?"

"I..." Shen Yanxi was about to express her feelings when she suddenly realized that this shouldn't be her emotion...

Because he helped other girls, took advantage of her, and didn't even say thank you...

Most importantly, she didn't want to see him act rashly and disregard her feelings...

These chaotic feelings are not something she should be experiencing.

"No."

Her lips clenched in a struggle, swallowing the indistinct words, her crescent-shaped eyes widening into a straight, serious line.

"I... I just felt that Yu'en was upset because of you, so I was angry."

"Then can you do me another favor?" Lin Mo stated the purpose of his visit.
