They are in their final year of high school and are heavily dependent on me.

"Five cents a bottle? This is the father of Baishui Mountain, Qianshui Mountain. Can I sell it at a loss?"

"."

The classroom erupted in noise, but Li Zhihan wasn't greatly bothered, as she was within Lin Mo's protective circle. She simply watched the commotion from the center before slowly averting her gaze.

She glanced at her kettle; it was empty.

"Do you want some water?" Lin Mo asked casually as he was drinking water.

The ability to read between the lines is an essential skill for ministers.

Li Zhihan noticed his water glass and belatedly nodded her chin.

"Shall I go buy you a bottle?" Lin Mo asked again.

Li Zhihan shook her head again, her gaze fixed on his water glass. Then she opened her own water bottle and handed it to Lin Mo.

"Huh? You want to drink mine?" Lin Mo was speechless.

Things are getting a little ambiguous, baby. Does this count as... well, indirectly?

However, it is precisely in times like these that one must remain calm and composed.

"Okay, I'll pour you some. Um, actually, you see, this water dispenser has two layers. I usually only drink from the top one, so the water I pour for you is water I haven't touched before."

Lin Mo wanted to explain further to show that he was innocent and had no intention of seducing a respectable high school girl.

The water was poured into Li Zhihan's water bottle with a "slurp slurp" sound, and the girl took a sip immediately.

Lin Mo blushed, hesitated for a moment, and then turned away.

"I want some too!" Xu Lingxi said as soon as she turned around.

The girl's lips were still wet, clearly indicating that she had deliberately emptied the water bottle.

Seeing that Li Zhihan had poured Lin Mo's water, they started to compete with her in doing the same.

"Okay," Lin Mo also poured some water. Having already done it before, he felt less guilty about pouring water the second time.

But just as he finished pouring for Xu Lingxi, Chen Wenxin, with her hair tied up, asked shyly, "..."

"Um... I'm a little thirsty too."

"?"

One after another, is this never going to end?

Lin Mo felt a bit hot again. Strange, why did he feel hot right after drinking water?

Chapter 118 Getting a Spanking

"Born in Sheffield, a heartless capitalist."

During the break between evening self-study sessions, Guo Huowang drank the stolen Qian Sui Shan liquor and laughed and cursed.

"Wangzi, get me a bottle." Lin Mo lifted his collar to fan himself; the water bottle was empty, but he was still unbearably hot.

"Your kettle was full just now, how did it all disappear?" Guo Huowang asked in confusion.

"Is Bro a water buffalo?"

"I'm leaving." Lin Mo was too lazy to explain, and directly snatched another unopened bottle from Guo Huowang's hand.

I took a sip, and...hmm, the flavor wasn't quite there.

This water tastes off. Why doesn't it taste as good as the water in my own kettle?

"Born!" Guo Huowang blurted out, but he didn't dare to argue with Lin Mo.

Lin Mo is all muscle and can arm wrestle with the vice class monitor; one punch from him could send him to meet his great-grandmother.

Now that the teachers in the office won't let him in to check his grades, he can't show off his science scores anymore.

He looked around to see what kind of fun he could find, but then he noticed that the girls' expressions were all strange.

"?"

Damn, it seems like I really saw Grandma. Why is Han Shen blushing?

Right, is that right?

Not only Han Shen, but Xu Lingxi, Chen Wenxin, and Huang Yiti also turned red. No, no, he can still distinguish between blushing and redness. Huang Yiti's redness is just a turtle's, so he can ignore it.

They all shared the same expression as Lin Mo; Chen Wenxin even took off her coat.

"Hey, Lin Mo, have you caught a contagious disease?" Guo Huowang was a little scared. If Lin Mo mutated into a zombie, he would definitely be the Zombie King, and he would have to be fed grass.

"What infectious disease?" Lin Mo gulped down his water.

"Then you're asking me?"

Guo Huowang covered his face with his coat, cosplaying as a Middle Eastern bandit, to avoid being infected by Lin Mo: "You guys from Biyang have been drinking, haven't you? Your faces are all so red!"

红？

At first glance, Lin Mo noticed that Xi Bao's face was quite red, but blushing was normal for her, especially since she had sensitive skin.

"It's a bit hot," Xu Lingxi said, feeling uncomfortable under their gaze. "What are you looking at?!"

She pushed Lin Mo away, wondering why she had only drunk his water. After about ten minutes, her body started to feel hot, but she didn't feel uncomfortable, just a burning sensation.

Is it because of psychological reasons? Drinking a boy's water makes...

But Lin Mo said that if they didn't drink directly from the mouth, it wouldn't count. Li Zhihan and Wen Xin dared to drink it, so why wouldn't she?

It's so hot!

So the girl opened the window, and a gust of cold wind blew in, making her breathe a sigh of relief and groan with relief.

"Hmm" X3

"?"

"Holy crap, it's freezing!" Guo Huowang was testing whether he had been infected, so he took off his long sleeves, and screamed as soon as the cold wind blew.

Lin Mo was stunned, not because of Wangzi's scream, but because he heard three strange sounds the moment Xu Lingxi opened the window.

Lin Mo had only heard this sound once before, after Bai Limeng had gone to the toilet in the middle of the night.

It's like taking a sip of ice-cold sweet water after strenuous exercise—a refreshing and invigorating experience, like rain after a long drought.

But the source of the sound was first Xi Bao, and then Chen Wenxinhan.

Wait a minute, something's not right.

Lin Mo discovered the blind spot and was about to turn around to spy on him when Zhang Xinyi's voice came from behind him.

"Zhihan~ Your face is all pink, is it because you're cold?"

"."

"1."

"It's quite cold. I heard this year is going to be a cold winter, and even the school sports meet is being held before National Day."

Meanwhile, Shen Qingning looked at Li Zhihan's face with a strange expression.

Why are you sweating a little from the cold? Do you have a cold?

Before Shen Qingning could finish speaking, Li Zhihan took off her coat and draped it over Lin Mo's head, using him as a coat hanger.

Aren't you cold?

Lin Mo's vision went black. With so many people around, it wasn't appropriate to cough up any air. He could only pretend to be a gentleman, fold Han Shen's clothes neatly, and place them on the table, then coughed awkwardly twice.

"Hey, Lin Mo, aren't you dressed yet? Are you waiting to be favored by Qing Ning?" Zhang Xinyi teased.

She looked around and saw that the other girls were all there. Suppressing her excitement, she reached out and patted Lin Mo's shoulder first.

"Men and women should not touch each other, Vice Class Leader." Lin Mo suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. Zhang Xinyi had no sense of restraint; her grip was strong enough to crush his head.

“I just told Qingning that real muscle is hard even when you don’t use force. I pinched it for her, but she didn’t believe me. She insisted that her own soft, fleshy body was also muscle.”

Zhang Xinyi laughed, "Let me pinch your verification. Look, Qingning, didn't you not find it before evening self-study? Go ahead and feel it."

Shen Qingning was stunned. She had been deceived by Zhang Xinyi. Her heartless best friend had told her that she would fulfill her wishes. She hadn't realized what was happening before she was dragged here. Wasn't this putting her in a very difficult position?

But the more this is the case, the less she can afford to show weakness. She absolutely cannot give Lin Mo any chance to have any illusions, otherwise wouldn't she just be a scumbag who tries to fish for attention?

So, you need to stay calm and pretend nothing's wrong. There's nothing for her to pretend anyway, so just pinch her again as normal.

Summon that kind of calm dedication to science, give it a light squeeze, and don't get carried away like before, unable to tear your hand away.

"Oh! I've heard that term before, 'living muscle, dead muscle'."

Suddenly, Chen Wenxin pulled Huang Yaoyao closer. The girl's cheeks were flushed, making her a truly captivating sight.

"Really?" Shen Qingning replied with a smile. It had to be Wen Xin; her emotional intelligence was so high that she could even help her out of a tight spot. Did she see that the class monitor was actually being deceived by her despicable vice-class leader?

"Mmm." Chen Wenxin rolled up her sleeves and pinched the fair skin on her arm. "Someone like me has dead muscle. It's so soft that I can't get it hard no matter how hard I try."

"Lin Mo's muscles are definitely dead muscle," Huang Yaoyao mocked from the side, secretly reaching out to pinch Lin Mo's arm to show him who the real king of dogs was.

But even though she pinched him hard, until her nails hurt, Lin Mo didn't seem to react at all.

Huang Yaoyao was immediately shocked and retreated. It was internal energy! Lin Mo had internal energy! He knew martial arts just like Xinyi!

Damn it, she wants to learn too! I'm going to go learn from Xinyi right now!

"Xinyi's mom! Quickly teach me martial arts!" Huang Yaoyao hurriedly hugged Zhang Xinyi's leg and rubbed her face against it.

Zhang Xinyi had no choice but to take Huang Yaoyao away from there first, and then smiled like an aunt from a distance.

"Can I have it massaged again?" Chen Wenxin watched the two leave, and thinking that Yao Yao had already started, she couldn't resist. "Just compare it with mine, okay?"

The girl looked at him expectantly, her heart pounding.

Perhaps the act of drinking water from his cup was too intimate, causing a hormonal imbalance?

Emotions are indeed very important in the final year of high school, as the psychological impact on the physical body is very serious.

However, the way this influence was being exerted made her somewhat embarrassed to talk about it.

"Uh, you can pinch it." Lin Mo looked at Chen Wenxin's apple-shaped face and couldn't refuse.

Didn't you get enough touches before evening self-study? You even made excuses to grope me. You can't wear tank tops anymore. Girls really have no self-restraint when they're lustful.

Fortunately, Chen Wenxin only squeezed for a second or two before letting go, then timidly nodded softly:

"Hmm, it must be muscle, it looks very powerful."

After saying that, she couldn't hold back anymore and blurted out, "What are you saying? Quickly sit back down and cool down."

"Then, it's my turn to try." Shen Qingning said seriously, pinching the spot without any hesitation.

"Squad leader, your hands are sweaty," Lin Mo said.

“Nonsense.” Shen Qingning paused, maintaining the composure of a class monitor, but her heart was churning.

Pah! It's all because you weren't dressed warmly enough! Wearing so little is all for the class monitor's benefit! So what if my hands were a little sweaty because I was nervous?!

I'll crush you, crush you, crush you!

"No~" Shen Qingning wiped her hands on Lin Mo's vest with a deathly smile, "There's no sweaty hands at all."

"I think it's just so-so, not as impressive as my muscles."

Xu Lingxi, watching from the side, had her cheeks puffed out. Her head was still spinning, so she simply reached out and pinched it too.

"?" Lin Mo was stunned and looked at her.

"What are you looking at (loudly)? I'm just trying it out (whispering)." Xu Lingxi let go of his hand and wiped it on his vest as well.

"Hmph, dead muscle, filthy."

Just then, a small hand suddenly reached out from behind Lin Mo and grabbed his arm, squeezing it.

"Uh?"

Lin Mo turned around abruptly and saw Li Zhihan's unusual gaze.

Although the cool girl's cheeks were slightly pink, her expression remained rigidly indifferent.

"1." After finishing, Li Zhihan wiped her hands on Lin Mo's vest and tapped the calculator to give a good review.

Seeing this, Shen Qingning raised an eyebrow, feeling like a cat whose fish had been stolen.
