You have absolutely no right to talk about others like that... Lin Mo was speechless.
Jiang Wanfeng silently cursed in her heart, a playful smile curving her lips.
Then, as if testing the waters, she moved her small hand, secretly slipping it between Lin Mo's fingers, rubbing it for a long time. Seeing that he didn't object, she intertwined her fingers with his.
Lin Mo was stunned.
Logically speaking, Jiang Wanfeng would have her own thoughts behind any subtle actions, but just now...
No.
As they held hands, the girl's steps became lighter, and the swing of her arms became more pronounced.
As they approached the noodle shop, the smoke thickened. The girl finally loosened her grip on his hand, ran a few steps, and hid in the smoke. She glanced back at him, revealing her small tiger teeth in a half-smile, half-scolding expression.
"Lin Mo, from now on, we should hold hands every time we go home, okay?"
"Just make sure your hands don't sweat."
"I won't!"
Just holding hands was enough to make Jiang Wanfeng very happy, to dispel the confusion of last night, and to erase her taciturnity along the way.
Lin Mo wondered how to protect her adorable, girlish charm, with her undeniable cuteness and dimples...
"Auntie, two more bowls of noodles, just a little chili on each, and a plate of vinegar too."
"Xiao Mo? Is that girl alright from yesterday?"
"It's nothing, just a little tantrum."
"Jiang Wanfeng, when you learn to eat spicy food, try eating it with vinegar first..."
Let's start by teaching her how to balance the amount of spiciness and vinegar...
...
"Squad leader, are you jealous?"
"Huh? Why would I be jealous..." Hu Yu'en had just put on her pajamas, covering her slender figure, when she heard Chen Yajie's words and was almost scared to death.
"Mom brought me dumplings today!" Chen Yajie opened a metal lunchbox commonly used in the 80s and 90s. "It's my first night living with the class monitor, so I prepared some food for her."
Oh, I thought...
"Ah...are we having dumplings for dinner?" Hu Yu'en was a little surprised. She usually only drinks milk at night...but she hasn't been drinking it lately, she's old enough now.
Normally at home, she would be asleep by this time, but sometimes she would sneak a peek at comics... which Wanfeng lent her.
But this is truly the first time I've ever eaten anything.
"Yes, it's gotten colder recently, so it's a good time to eat dumplings."
"Autumn came so early this year~ Will the sports meet be held earlier too?" Chen Yajie muttered to herself as she put dumplings into her small bowl.
"Ugh, I have to perform at the sports meet... Even though it's my last one in high school, it still feels like such a hassle."
Listening to the girl's rambling, Hu Yu'en felt relieved and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of herself.
How could someone be jealous of such a pure and gentle girl...?
Hu Yu'en sat down next to Chen Yajie, propping her chin up as she looked at her. Why did Chen Yajie's smile seem so natural?
It's not exactly stunning, but it's just so captivating that you can't take your eyes off it.
"Uh... Class monitor, am I talking too much?"
"No, so many people in the class want to talk to you but don't have a chance. I don't know how many people envy you~"
"No way..."
I envy you too. How come you get special treatment from him so easily?
Why are you still so naive?
But why did you give him that water glass? Didn't you have your own ulterior motives, Ya Jie...?
Hu Yu'en stared blankly at the gentle young woman, lost in thought.
"Give~"
Chen Yajie faced her and gave her the dumplings in the large lunchbox, while Chen Yajie herself used the small bowl.
The dumplings were plump and varied in shape, unlike the stiff, seemingly delicate dumplings I used to eat. They looked very appetizing.
"Squad leader, would you like vinegar, soy sauce, or chili sauce?"
"I'm fine with anything."
"Then I'll prepare a special dipping sauce for you!"
"Good~"
The dumplings were delicious, and Chen Yajie will be a great friend. Hu Yu'en ate her fill.
But even though my stomach was full, I felt empty inside.
"Class monitor, you seem to have hiccuped," Chen Yajie said sweetly as she cleared the dishes.
Others saying that might not make her happy, after all, she's someone who values her reputation a lot.
And very few people dare to directly point out her lack of decorum...
But hearing it jokingly from Chen Yajie didn't make her feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, it made her feel that this girl was even more approachable and adorable...
Was it because of her special status, or had he already been "trained" by Lin Mo?
"Really? Maybe you ate too fast?"
"It really tastes delicious~ Ya-jie's mom is such a good cook."
"My mom is the best mom in the world! And... the class monitor's mom too!"
Chen Yajie put away the lunchbox, turned around, picked up her toothbrush to wash up, unaware that Hu Yu'en's eyes dimmed slightly after hearing her words.
How enviable.
Hu Yu'en had a feeling that Lin Mo had deliberately arranged for her to share a dormitory with Chen Yajie. Was there some purpose behind it?
Between her and Chen Yajie, who was the one arranged to be the leading lady?
"Um, Ya Jie~"
The fox-girl also chased after him from the sink, toothbrush in hand.
"Hmm?" Chen Yajie spit out toothpaste bubbles.
"Are there any tea leaves left? I brought a tea set~"
"Ah, I gave some to Lin Mo... He said he really likes drinking tea..."
Upon hearing this, Hu Yu'en was stunned. What... how could he...
"Hmm, how much is that tea? Maybe I should go buy some?" Chen Yajie blinked her peach-blossom eyes, a bit of undiluted foam clinging to her lips, looking rather silly.
Hu Yu'en opened her mouth, as if to say something, but then stopped, leaving only a complicated, bitter smile.
"It's okay, I'll bring it next time."
The fox-like girl chuckled, casually pinching Chen Yajie's soft cheek and wiping away the silly bubbles.
"There's still foam around my mouth; it hasn't been rinsed off properly."
"Oh, thank you, class monitor."
"OK."
After washing up, Hu Yu'en lay down on the bed first, while Chen Yajie sat at her desk, still organizing the knowledge she had learned that day.
The dormitory lights were half off; Hu Yu'en's side was dark, while Chen Yajie's side was lit.
The fox-like girl tossed and turned in bed, seemingly because the dormitory bed was much harder than the one at home.
Even with the blanket covering her, her perfect figure was still completely undeniable.
"Ya Jie?"
"Hmm? Class monitor, I'll be done soon. Are you sleepy?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to say that we don't seem to have each other's contact information yet?"
"Do you have your phone with you?" Hu Yu'en asked in an unusually heavy tone, as if she had been holding it in for a long time.
"Oh, yes, I have a small cell phone..."
"Let's add each other on QQ?" Hu Yu'en said immediately, sitting up on the bed with bright eyes.
The moment the words reached Chen Yajie's ears, the girl froze as she rummaged through her bag for her phone.
Chen Yajie glanced at her... practically defunct cell phone, the kind that would still play music when turned on...
"You have QQ, right? We often use QQ to send out materials in class..."
Chen Yajie pursed her lips. She only used the classroom computer to look at those materials after everyone else had left school, or she would stay at school on weekends to look at them...
A smartphone, though not particularly expensive, was, in her eyes, just like glasses—something that would cause her mother trouble.
"Speaking of which, I also added Lin Mo on QQ. He's not much of a talker..."
It's so great to be able to chat with Lin Mo on QQ... It seems like we can even make video calls and see each other from a distance.
Chen Yajie didn't really want a cell phone, but then she thought about being able to chat with Lin Mo, and a longing rose in her heart... She seemed to have become a materialistic girl.
"Hmm?" Hu Yu'en asked again, sounding puzzled.
"I forgot I'm out of data. How about we exchange phone numbers first? What's yours?"
Chen Yajie breathed a sigh of relief, gave her phone number, and just as she was turning her attention back to her studies, she heard...
"Ya Jie, I think I saw you wearing contact lenses?"
The fox lurked in the darkness, watching her cunningly.
Chapter 51 The Cruelty of Jiebao and Ranbao
"Haha...yes, um...I'm a little nearsighted."
Chen Yajie told the truth with some bitterness.
What's it like wearing contact lenses? I've heard there are a lot of side effects.
"I don't know, this... I find it quite comfortable wearing it, there's nothing that bothers me..."
After hearing this, Hu Yu'en got out of bed and walked slowly to Chen Yajie's side.
"Can I see your glasses case?"
"okay."
Hu Yu'en took the glasses case from the girl and examined it for a while. The label on it was very clear...
"Hmm, it's a big brand."
"Is this...is this very valuable?" Chen Yajie's materialistic instincts kicked in, and she blurted out the question.
"Well... it's alright."
Hu Yu'en laughed it off and returned it to the girl.
"I don't know much about it either. I can only say that it's a little better than regular glasses? That's about it."
"..."
Chen Yajie lowered her eyes, realizing she had thought that way again, thinking that constantly accepting Lin Mo's help was... very... very useless, wasn't it?
But Lin Mo had clearly told her, and she had promised him, that she wouldn't think about helping him anymore.
If it were just Lin Mo, she could devote her whole heart to him. As long as she thought about not making Lin Mo unhappy, she wouldn't dwell on the negative aspects...
But when Lin Mo is away, it's still very upsetting to be discovered by outsiders or to be subtly reminded of things by others...
"Ya Jie, it's past eleven o'clock, let's go to sleep?"
Hu Yu'en took her hand and simultaneously turned on the lamp switch.
"I'm a little scared that I won't be sleeping at home on the first day. Ya Jie, can you sleep with me?"
