Before she knew it, she had swallowed the shell too, making her grimace in pain.
She was going to peel the shrimp for Lin Mo, but she couldn't hold back her emotional breakdown and just left it there.
When I returned, the shrimp in my bowl was already half-cold, so of course I couldn't give it to him anymore.
Trying to suppress her emotions and peel another shrimp for him, she saw that there were no more shrimp on the plate, only a pile of shrimp meat in Lin Mo's bowl.
Just as her feelings of disappointment began to surge up, she saw Lin Mo push his bowl in front of her.
"The gold ingot also contains water chestnuts, which are quite delicious. You can eat these shrimp too, I'm full."
Lin Mo said.
Now that Shen Yanxi understood his meaning, even if it was only a partial understanding, and had already decided to leave,
Lin Mo didn't need to say or do anything more, lest she cause her already extremely sensitive and broken heart to ache beyond repair.
However, Shen Yanxi was confused and neither refused nor accepted at first. She just looked at Li Qingran.
"Qingran...do you...do you want to eat?"
"Lin Mo gave this to you, eat it," Li Qingran said softly.
"Thank you, Qingran~"
He was ignored.
These two people, one believes he has lost completely, and the other believes he has won completely.
Shen Yanxi mistakenly believed that Lin Mo had chosen Li Qingran, and that there was no place for her in the family. Li Qingran mistakenly believed that Lin Mo had chosen her, and that there was no place for anyone else in the family.
What should have been a thank you to him turned into an absurd situation, like a concubine thanking the principal wife...
For some reason, Lin Mo felt even more heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do.
Shen Yanxi stuffed her cheeks full quickly, as if to complete a task, resembling a hamster hoarding food—so cute it was almost unbearable.
"Hmm, Xixi is full, it's about time we went."
"Why not wait until tomorrow? It's New Year's Eve tonight, why don't you stay and spend the New Year's Eve with us?" Lin Mo urged.
"Hahaha... What are you talking about? If Xixi doesn't leave, you two won't have any time to yourself. And even if you two aren't embarrassed, Xixi will be super uncomfortable."
"Anyway, I'm just an extra... I feel empty inside, so it doesn't matter where I go~"
She poked her fingers, let out a "whoa!" and stretched as she stood up.
"Has the Spring Festival Gala not started yet? But these days it's not very good anymore," she said casually, deliberately trying to lighten the mood as she left.
"I'm leaving now~ Don't see Xixi off, okay? I'm really leaving~"
She said she didn't want to be seen off, but the girl kept turning back to look at herself as she lingered at the edge of the stairs.
Lin Mo gave a wry smile, and Li Qingran nodded to him as well.
After Shen Yanxi dawdled downstairs pushing her suitcase, Lin Mo went downstairs.
Hearing his footsteps, the girl must have had a fierce internal struggle. Finally, she hurriedly leaned half her body against her suitcase, looking like a small cart, and rushed towards the door.
When Lin Mo arrived downstairs, Shen Yanxi was already in the yard thinking about how to load the suitcase onto the bicycle.
"Where are you going? I'll help you move it."
Seeing that only he came down, Shen Yanxi breathed a sigh of relief and didn't refuse, nodding softly.
"Just follow Xixi. It's a milk tea shop near the school; there are dormitories inside."
"it is good."
Lin Mo carried the suitcase, while Shen Yanxi carried a small, tattered bag and pushed her bicycle.
The girl dared not turn around, afraid that if she did, she would be unable to resist embracing him.
The evening breeze was desolate, and there was not much laughter in the city. The festive atmosphere of Chinese New Year's Eve is mostly in the countryside, but Shen Yanxi had already severed ties with the countryside.
If it weren't for the extremely cold weather, it would be a rather romantic time to stop the car and admire the maple forest at dusk.
“Rustle…”
Since no workers were cleaning up the fallen leaves on New Year's Eve, Shen Yanxi would kick her little feet as she passed by, trying to gather the leaves together as much as possible.
But soon, the scattered leaves will be blown away by the cold wind...
At this moment, Shen Yanxi stopped and looked at them.
Just like her efforts, she strived to break free from sorrow, to defy her family circumstances, to remain optimistic and cheerful, to fight for her ideals, and to make everyone happy...
Trying hard... not to fall in love with him.
They are all like these scattered fallen leaves, a meaningless persistence.
Now, her efforts to be with him are equally futile.
Compared to others, compared to Li Qingran, Lady Xixi is just a tiny little thing.
Oh, that's okay, anyway, Xixi has really improved a lot~
Compared to when she first arrived, she hadn't lost anything, and her tattered bag was cleaner, the car wasn't creaking anymore, and she wasn't dirty either, plus she seemed to have a full tummy.
If you really want to point out what's wrong,
It's a pity... it's a pity that half of her heart was missing.
More than half.
A huge amount, more than half.
A super super super super much more than half.
Haha... Okay, okay, Xixi was just imagining things. There wasn't even half of it. How could there be so much half...
"Ugh..."
He sighed in frustration.
Is it all?
All my heart is gone.
It's not that I hadn't considered this ending, but I didn't expect it to come so soon. Xixi had only just made up her mind...
I feel like crying.
But is this considered a timely way to cut losses?
Shen Yanxi was thinking when she looked up again and realized she had arrived at her destination. The streetlights in front of the milk tea shop were flashing.
"That's enough for now~ Qingran is still waiting for you, so don't say anything to Xixi."
The girl kept her head down, looking at the two figures on the ground, her pink lips moving slightly.
"Let me catch my breath..."
Then, by the light of the streetlights,
The girl shifted her position with her hands behind her back, tilted her head, and their shadows overlapped, making it seem as if she was leaning on his shoulder, the two of them shoulder to shoulder, pushing their beloved little car together...
Lin Mo stood still and watched her quietly.
Shen Yanxi closed her eyes, listening to the sound of the wind whistling past her ears, imagining it as Lin Mo speaking in her ear. Hot tears flowed down her face without her realizing it, only to be cooled by the wind.
At least, his shadow could intersect with his.
Although people are not capable.
Chapter 168 Li Qingran Seeks Love, Not Pleasure
"Lin Mo, do you want it?"
"what?"
You look very unhappy.
"..."
Back at Li Qingran's villa, after seeing Shen Yanxi off, the house suddenly became much quieter. The two of them didn't have any more entertainment activities and tacitly wanted to rest and spend the New Year's Eve peacefully.
The two lay on the bed for a while. Li Qingran turned off the light, then crossed the dividing line she had drawn with a long, thin doll, and pressed almost her entire body against his.
Her voice, cool yet gentle, is so pleasant to listen to.
The lingering fragrance of the young girl's body, which was already strong enough to linger at the tip of his nose, suddenly became several levels stronger, and Lin Mo couldn't wait to hug her and kiss her.
But the current situation didn't allow him to act rashly, and he was also thinking about how to explain things to Li Qingran...
“From now on, it will only be Qingran and Linmo, so if Linmo is unhappy, he can do whatever he wants to Qingran.”
The girl was wearing thin, loose Pikachu pajamas, and her side-lying sleeping position caused the Pikachu on her chest to be squeezed so tightly that one eye was larger than the other.
A faint light drifted into the room from outside the window. Li Qingran peeked out from under the covers and draped one of her long, white legs over him, dazzlingly bright.
She was truly fair-skinned, not in a pale, muddy way, but with an icy, jade-like whiteness, her entire body radiating a delicate, translucent quality. This was similar to Jiang Wanfeng's; other girls, no matter how fair their skin, were still a milky white.
Li Qingran cultivated this innate beauty into a snow-white, lustrous sheen, while Jiang Wanfeng focused entirely on the allure of moisture and smoothness.
One was ice-cold, the other was scalding hot.
The difference between ice and water.
The other girls were like milk mixed with different fruits; what they all had in common was that they were all very delicious.
After tasting them, I couldn't bear to give up any of them and wanted to keep drinking them.
"Ran Bao, you mean..."
“Anything is fine.” Li Qingran emphasized further, “Last time, she bought another box of that one.”
Li Qingran refers to the relic that Jiang Wanfeng bought.
"..."
Lin Mo suddenly realized that Li Qingran, whom he hadn't been allowed to touch much lately, was suddenly being allowed to do as she pleased tonight.
The reason wasn't that she genuinely disliked him doing anything to her; perhaps there were many factors of dislike involved, but she certainly wouldn't refuse.
The reason for such strict restrictions is undoubtedly related to other girls.
Li Qingran has always had a severe case of mysophobia, so sharing the same food with other girls would naturally cause her both physical and psychological aversion. However, this is only a small part of the reason.
Furthermore, the girl hoped to correct Lin Mo's habits and prevent him from being so indulgent towards other girls. This was Li Qingran's little scheme, and also the main reason.
Now that Li Qingran no longer had anyone to be wary of, she opened up the restrictions on Lin Mo.
But playing on such a large scale all at once is still a bit scary.
Shall we start the new year's first party...?
In terms of age, they're not incompatible, but...
Lin Mo simply cannot agree to this now.
"It's cold outside, cover yourself with the blanket."
Lin Mo gently pulled her outstretched leg and tucked it back into the blanket.
The two initially shared one blanket, but later, after Li Qingran became jealous, they split it into two blankets.
Li Qingran blinked in the darkness, then suddenly kicked off the blanket.
Then, she quickly crawled into Lin Mo's blanket, and Lin Mo suddenly froze.
He suddenly had a whimsical thought: Jiang Wanfeng and Li Qingran's skin conditions were so similar, was it possible that their appearances reflected their inner selves, and that Ranbao's desires were actually no less than Fengbao's...?
"From now on, we'll sleep like this." Li Qingran rested her head against his chest, her ear close to his heart, and whispered.
The girl was completely inside his blanket, not even her head was sticking out. The temperature inside the blanket rose rapidly with his heartbeat and her breathing.
"Uh, Ranbao, don't lean your legs there..."
"Oh."
Li Qingran obediently hummed in agreement, then crawled around in the blankets, finally sprawling over him. A head, slightly frizzy from static electricity, popped out from the edge of the blankets in front of him.
Lin Mo was speechless, just staring at her. Even in the darkness, Li Qingran was still remarkably recognizable, not only because of her well-defined features and the excellent interplay of light and shadow, but also because of her exceptionally fair and radiant skin.
"Really don't want it?" Li Qingran asked cutely, tilting her head.
