The sound was a bit too loud, attracting attention from those around, even the teacher.

Hu Yu'en had to suppress her emotions.

"Fine, don't talk about it then. Let me ask you, do you two have that...?"

"I'm going home." Jiang Wanfeng regained some of her senses and began packing her things.

Hu Yu'en's gaze was terrifyingly sorrowful.

She also wanted to tell everyone directly, including Li Qingran, Chen Yajie, and Shen Yanxi, that someone was eating alone, so that Jiang Wanfeng wouldn't be so quick to sneak food...

But if word gets out, she can't very well sneak a bite... What should she do...?

Just as the fox was about to cry in despair, his phone suddenly rang.

Hu Yu'en was stunned for a moment, then clicked on the profile picture that hadn't been lit up for a long time...

A red dot lit up, seemingly capable of stealing her soul.

Chapter 182 I Really Have Controlled You

Hu Yu'en carefully put her phone into her pocket.

Watching Jiang Wanfeng's retreating figure fade into the crowd of students leaving school,

Hu Yu'en composed herself.

She still hasn't adapted to her current role.

It's really impossible to avoid jealousy and rivalry.

Even though everyone now accepts this absurd situation, the most virtuous Chen Yajie no longer mentions it, simply studying quietly and waiting patiently.

But Hu Yu'en also knew very well that everyone harbored a pent-up resentment, whether from being deceived or manipulated, and ultimately forced to accept his proposed solution despite feeling wronged.

Adapting to a change in identity from special to ordinary is quite difficult.

Hu Yu'en had thought it through carefully. If her family hadn't suffered a sudden misfortune and he hadn't saved her once again, would she really have treated herself so lightly?

Of course not, even if she had such experiences and thoughts.

She was immature back then, and she knew the oppressive feelings it brought. Lin Mo gave her special care, and she never wanted to go back to that humble time...

But when you love someone, humility seems to be the right thing to do. Isn't Jiang Wanfeng humble? Li Qingran is the same. After they each took a step back in love, they were both humble.

It's all because of that dog-like man, utterly wicked, rotten to the core.

He picked up his dignity after it was destroyed, only to have it destroyed again by reality. Now he's picked up half of it and is telling himself that he can't pick up the other half; he'll have to pick up other girls' dignity.

Of course, it's very fair; everyone only gets half.

"Class monitor, do you have a camera at home? Can you bring it over the day after tomorrow? I'd like to take pictures with you guys and Lin Mo~"

Chen Yajie has recovered from her distraught phase and returned to her established image as a sunny and adorable young woman.

But the more seemingly fine Chen Yajie appeared, the heavier her heart seemed. Hu Yu'en, having shared a room with her for so long, knew perfectly well that this girl preferred to keep her worries to herself.

Jiang Wanfeng also liked to keep her feelings to herself, but her stubborn pride couldn't hide them at all. She just thought she was very good at pretending, while Chen Yajie was used to this kind of life.

They don't share their bad moods with others; they swallow all their bitterness themselves.

"Ah, cameras... we used to have a lot, but we sold them all to pay off debts." Hu Yu'en smiled helplessly. "I guess I'll have to borrow them from Qing Ran."

"Squad leader, are you having a hard time at home right now...? Maybe I can help you."

"No, not really... My mom found a decent job, so supporting me shouldn't be a problem. I'd rather be a little poorer, maybe that would draw him out. He'd definitely love to keep a canary as a pet."

Hu Yu'en said half-jokingly,

Actually, that's still the case now... My mother's new job came about out of nowhere.

Hu Yu'en can only deceive herself, she's probably been set up by capital...

Chen Yajie nodded blankly, "Then I'll go ask Qingran..."

"Hey, wait a minute."

"what's wrong?"

"Ya Jie, you're not even going to fight for it? You've already made up your mind, haven't you?"

Chen Yajie blinked, feeling somewhat lost with her hands unsupported. Finally, she placed them on her chest, touched the two jade Buddha pendants around her neck, and remained silent for a while.

Then, Chen Yajie's gaze shifted, and she murmured:

"Class monitor, I may not be as courageous as you guys... Well, my mom knows about my relationship with Lin Mo. Although she hasn't stopped me, I'm still young and have something important to do."

"My dream seems to have changed. I used to want to be a doctor, but now I just want to be by his side..."

"I feel that he doesn't want me to abandon my principles for him. I'm willing to be his safe haven, but I don't want to be a burden on his shoulders..."

"So, I won't fight you for it~ Otherwise, Mom will scold me. It's already so difficult for her to agree to let me entrust my future to Lin Mo... I've seen Mom secretly cry many times at night, saying she's useless and that she sold her daughter..."

"Although I really want to say that I wasn't sold, and that I really like him... my mother doesn't think so, and she feels very guilty."

"and..."

Chen Yajie sighed softly. After speaking, she was momentarily dazed, realizing that she had so much to say.

But there's really no one better than the class monitor to confide in.

These things can't be said to Lin Mo; it would put too much pressure on him...

"Besides, rather than fighting to the death, arguing about being the first, or what his favorite is... I'd rather... everyone be happy, that's all that matters to me..."

Hu Yu'en was stunned for a moment, and her gaze towards Chen Yajie softened.

The slight resentment in my heart suddenly faded a lot.

"Hey, but class monitor, don't get too excited... After all, I have my own motives. Compared to doing those naughty things, maybe Lin Mo will know that I'm really doing this for his own good, that I'm really thinking about him~ He might treat me even better then..."

Chen Yajie was unusually playful, mimicking Hu Yu'en's signature wink and making a peace sign.

Hu Yu'en was amused and pretended to hit her, so the girl slipped away to the next class.

"I didn't expect her to be so insightful."

The fox muttered to itself.

The temper he had just lost during his argument with Jiang Wanfeng vanished in an instant.

Hu Yu'en thought for a moment, opened her phone, opened Chen Yajie's QQ account, and pressed the voice message button.

"Ya Jie, Lin Mo will be at the back of the school tonight, the place where we camped last time. Do you want to go see him?"

......

"Teacher, I need to ask for leave from evening self-study."

"Oh, you're asking for leave? What's wrong? Just for one day, or just for evening self-study?" Teacher Ni, who was supervising the class, was taken aback.

"Here you go, I've finished today's test. I want to go home and relax for a while."

"Okay, okay..."

Hu Yu'en turned around, slipped to the back door of the classroom, and winked at Chen Yajie, who was sitting anxiously in her seat. Her small mouth opened and closed as if to say:

"I'm leaving now. If you want to come, just ask for leave. You'll definitely be staying there all night!"

Chen Yajie isn't a lip-reading expert, so naturally she couldn't tell, but Hu Yu'en sent her these messages on QQ.

For a moment, I felt restless and uneasy.

After hesitating for a while,

"Hmm, I'll do more practice tests, one more set of papers. I need to focus on my studies first..."

The girl tried to alleviate her guilt about having an affair by studying.

"It's just a meeting, we can see each other in a couple of days anyway, it's okay, it's okay..."

As Chen Yajie was writing, she couldn't help but look out the window, just in time to see Hu Yu'en asking the gatekeeper for another pack of cigarettes on credit...

"Goodbye, sir. It'll still be on Lin Mo's tab. Don't worry, he'll be back the day after tomorrow."

The gatekeeper hesitated, wanting to say that it was normal to ask for leave without paying Hua Zi, but this little girl seemed determined to let that brat squander his money...

...

"Wouldn't you like a spendthrift canary?"

Hu Yu'en walked towards the back mountain, talking to herself.

"But that's just how I am. It's your fault for treating me badly..."

It's not that it's bad; in terms of material aspects, it's incredibly good.

But what she wanted was for him to spend no money at all, just a little bit of... effort?

"I'm not as lecherous as Wanfeng. Anyway, he's seen everything about me that he could see."

"Is it true that you can only have a few more children?"

Will my body shape change after giving birth?

Chatting ramblingly, Hu Yu'en slowly made her way to the mountaintop.

The exercise was a bit strenuous, but she had showered in her dorm that afternoon, so her sweat smelled nice—even though she didn't think it smelled good, Lin Mo liked it...

"What a pervert..."

"Oh well, there's nothing we can do about it..."

As the girl approached a tent, she fell silent. There, sitting in a pavilion on the mountaintop, was a stinky man feeding mosquitoes.

"..."

Even though she had talked a lot and taken many deep breaths along the way, her heart still ached slightly when she saw him again. That suppressed, possessive longing for love almost shattered her carefully constructed facade of normalcy.

Only then did she realize that Chen Yajie was no less courageous than she was, able to suppress her feelings for him and think of him in return, while neglecting her own primal desires...

A string of small light bulbs hung between the branches, casting a warm, soothing yellow light.

There's no campfire today, and no one else around.

Just like before, a few clouds hung in the sky, hiding from the moon. It was a pity we missed the sunset, otherwise we could have enjoyed the evening glow.

"Lin Mo, why did you only bring one tent? And it's the largest size~ Do you really want me to be your bedchamber maid tonight?"

After taking a few deep breaths, Hu Yu'en still walked over with a smile and teased,

"Uh... I figured if I bought two tents, you probably wouldn't just sleep in one by yourself."

"Oh~~" Hu Yu'en sat down beside him, following Lin Mo's gaze as she looked down at the scenery below the mountain.

"But whether you bring two tents or not is a completely different matter from whether I need to sleep alone. You're leaving me with absolutely no choice..."

The girl moved closer to him, her soft flesh nestled in his arms.

"Lin Mo, you're actually very afraid of losing any of us, aren't you? You deliberately leave us with no other choice, right?"

Lin Mo looked at her in surprise.

Before he could say anything, the girl who had moved closer to him suddenly raised her hand and slapped him across the face.

"Snapped!"

The force was so strong that Lin Mo initially thought it was Jiang Wanfeng disguised as a fox, wondering where the violent tendencies came from...

"Don't blame me, if I don't slap you now, I might lose control today..."

Hu Yu'en chuckled, cupped his face, and gave the spot where she had just slapped him a small peck. Then she kissed him passionately, completely treating him, still dazed from the slap, like a kissing robot.

After a while,

"Guess what I can't help but do?"
