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

"I won't say, I won't say." Lin Mo smiled, then pretended to look at Han Shen's essay. Li Zhihan's essay was nothing to read; it was so standard it looked like it was generated by AI.

He was thinking about Xu Lingxi's essay.

It might be a bit early to think about these things now, but he couldn't help it.

After all, he had irresponsibly and selfishly tied Xibao's life and health to him.

From that moment on, Lin Mo could no longer treat Xu Lingxi as an ordinary friend, nor could he treat her as a simple good deskmate.

Influenced by Bai Limeng, he also has a strong possessive desire.

It's always good to know a little about her inner thoughts beforehand.

Xu Lingxi's thoughts were surprisingly mature, probably because she came from a less privileged background and was therefore more sensitive to material things.

She has very low requirements for things like romance; what she wants more is a partner with whom she can work hard together.

Oh no, I'll have to work hard now. My plan to live off a woman has failed.

"Hey, Xixi."

"What's wrong?" Xu Lingxi was in a state of anger and shyness, and didn't really want to talk to Lin Mo.

"I'll make a lot of money, do you believe me?" Lin Mo said seriously in a second.

Xu Lingxi paused after listening, wondering if he was subtly alluding to her essay. After thinking for a while, she finally decided to change the subject:

"Why think so much? You haven't even finished your studies yet, and you're not as tall as me."

Things will get better.

"Hmph, bragging, your nose will grow longer."

"That's only possible when lying."

“Bragging is the same!” Xu Lingxi retorted, punching him twice without allowing any room for argument.

"Hey, what kind of boyfriend do you want to find in the future?"

".rogue."

"I was just asking. For example, I only want to find pretty girls."

"rogue!!"

Xu Lingxi gritted her teeth, her face flushed, and gave Lin Mo a set of rabbit Wing Chun on his chest.

"Humph."

I thought he would recover after being hit twice.

But Lin Mo's words still made Xu Lingxi's heart pound and feel blocked. The answer she had thought of in that instant was so ambiguous and so frustrating.

It's as if if you don't say it now, you'll regret it later.

Xu Lingxi tried to focus her attention on the class, but it didn't last more than a few minutes.

As usual, Lao Ni, who was on the podium, interrupted the class and began to talk about his youthful days, and the girl listened without realizing it.

Her gaze couldn't help but drift to his profile.

Xu Lingxi's heart fluttered, so she bit her lip lightly, slumped on the table like a deflated rabbit balloon, and muttered softly:

"Someone like you..."

"Huh?" Lin Mo turned his head instantly.

"I'm telling you, you're the worst kind of person! You'll never find a girlfriend!"

"You're being a bit malicious."

"Humph."

"Seriously, I'm going to make a lot of money, you believe me."

Xu Lingxi found it amusing when he repeated himself, not because she looked down on him.

On the contrary, it is precisely because she trusts him that she finds his words funny, because she has never distrusted him.

There are just some things I just can't say.

At her age, just being able to muster the courage to say half of it is enough to keep her in a daze in the classroom all day.

Before I knew it, a year had passed.

We'll talk about it later; hopefully it won't be too late.

Dismissal.

Shen Qingning had obtained the reading summary in advance and secretly read it while huddled in her seat.

The first thing I saw was Lin Mo's essay.

Although Xinyi kept urging her to ask Lin Mo for the answer sheet, the class monitor couldn't bring herself to do it.

After staring for a while, Shen Qingning became absorbed in the image and sighed.

"Ugh"

Sure enough, just as she had thought, Lin Mo had even hidden a little trick in his essay.

"Why bother?" Shen Qingning rested her fair chin on her hand, her gaze shifting away.

When she looked at someone, her blinking frequency suddenly increased.

Chapter 124 Li Zhihan's Essay and the Puppy

During the second Chinese class, Teacher Ni finally started talking about composition.

However, the first one we talked about wasn't Lin Mo's essay, but Li Zhihan's.

Lin Mo hadn't seriously read Han Bao's essay yet; he had only seen her previous writings in the abstracts and assumed it was still a standard AI-generated piece.

Unexpectedly, the teacher gave her a very high evaluation of her essay this time.

"Ah, before looking at Lin Mo's essay, ah, our class's second highest scorer, ah, Zhihan's essay this time was also quite good. Ah, people used to say that her essays lacked a bit of emotion and inspiration, but this time she has improved a lot."

Old Ni kept turning back to talk during his lecture, reading a passage from Li Zhihan's essay and praising it lavishly.

It looked more like an awards ceremony for Li Zhihan than a class.

However, Class Two might be indifferent to everyone, but they would never fail to support Li Zhihan.

For the first time ever, very few students were doing their own thing during Chinese class. The usually undisciplined class was now unusually focused on the blackboard, listening to Teacher Ni's comments on their compositions with increasing excitement!

"Okay! Okay!"

"This is so well-written, holy crap! Why didn't Han Shen win the Nobel Prize in Literature?!"

"Damn it, Erii would be resurrected if she saw this!"

"I was wondering why it was so warm even though it was cloudy today. Turns out the sun was shining right in our classroom!"

"Clap! What are you standing there for?! Clap!"

Qiu Wuqi and Guo Huowang, one fat and one thin, stood up immediately, and they would applaud and cheer every time Lao Ni said a few words.

"Ah, cough cough, you two, ah, stop making a fuss, ah, everyone be quiet and listen to the teacher's lesson."

Old Ni was speechless. Some students in his class were even more eager to improve than he was. He finally had a chance to teach Li Zhihan some emotional value lessons, but they were being overshadowed.

However, it's also a sad thing that the only time I could motivate the class to participate in Chinese class was when I praised Li Zhihan during class.

On stage, Lao Ni spoke eloquently, while off stage, Guo Huowang scanned the reactionary elements with his lion-like eyes.

In Class Two, supporting Li Zhihan is considered politically correct.

His first glance revealed Lin Mo was head down, engrossed in his own work! He wasn't even looking up, and he was discussing Han Shen's essay!

"Do you want to die?! Arrest him! Lin Mo is sabotaging the revolution!"

"Lin Mo! What are you doing?!" Guo Huowang's eyes widened as if he were about to execute someone.

"Let's look at the essay," Lin Mo glanced at him and said casually.

"Still trying to argue! Is Han Shen's essay on your desk? All the other students are looking at the blackboard, what are you doing?!"

Guo Huowang snatched Li Yu's glasses and put them on, then, mimicking Conan, pointed at Lin Mo and asked, "How does Han Shen usually treat you? How can you not even respect her?"

"What?!" Even though Chen Wenxin was between them, Huang Yaoyao heard the key words and crawled over to Chen Wenxin's legs in a dark manner.

"Hey, Yao Yao." Chen Wenxin was both amused and exasperated. She was too weak to stop Huang Yao Yao from moving forward.

"Who doesn't respect me, Lady Zhihan?" Huang Yaoyao's expression was unusually serious.

"How dare you, Lin Mo! Why aren't you listening to the lesson?"

"I can hear it," Lin Mo said, looking up.

"What's the use of just listening! You just don't respect our Zhihan! Waaaaah! Our Zhihan is so good to you, and you're the one who disrespects her the most, waaaah!" Huang Yaoyao started rubbing her eyes, pretending to shed small pearls.

"That's about it, Yao Yao, you're still in class." Chen Wenxin patted the unknown creature on her leg.

"Wenxin, let me tell you, this person is very bad, don't give him snacks!"

"Haha," the soft-spoken Chen Wenxin smiled helplessly at Lin Mo, indicating that she was also powerless to help.

"No, I was really looking at the essay carefully."

Lin Mo picked up Li Zhihan's answer sheet. "Her answer sheet is with me. It's much clearer than looking at the PPT."

"?"

Guo Huowang and Huang Yaoyao were both stunned, then turned pale with shock.

Huang Yaoyao collapsed, heartbroken, and tears of sorrow streamed down her face. They were both dogs, so why was Lin Mo so much more likable to Zhihan?

"You, you, you, you! How could you steal Han Shen's answer sheet? Holy crap, this is an imperial edict!" Guo Huowang shouted sharply.

"Hey! Guo Huowang over there, keep your voice down. We're talking about the best part of the essay, pay attention!" Old Ni reminded him.

"Wangzi! Don't you want to live anymore? Are you provoking Han Shen?" Qiu Wuqi pointed at him, making an expression and gesture that made Guo Huowang fly.

"I recommend death by a thousand cuts."

"support!"

Upon hearing that he was about to be falsely accused and become the target of public criticism, Guo Huowang quickly shrank back, cold sweat pouring down his face.

Damn, Lin Mo is truly defying the heavens.

"Sigh, Wangzi." Li Yu patted his trembling shoulder and shook his head with a sigh.

"Are you gay?" Guo Huowang got goosebumps from Li Yu's touch, feeling that the unshaven Li Yu was about to say something like, "Let me see."

"The price Lin Mo paid was greater than you imagine," Li Yu said.

"What price? To be Han Shen's dog? Isn't that giving him a good time?" Guo Huowang asked in confusion.

“The one who will make him pay the price is someone else,” Li Yu said mysteriously.

"?"

"I can't explain this clearly, the risk is too great, but I can give you some pointers, and you can figure it out yourself."

Upon hearing this, Guo Huowang immediately calmed down. Although Li Yu seemed gay, he was indeed well-informed, and it was always best to follow his lead when it came to gossip.

"Brother Li, please speak freely."

"Do you remember the messages in the group last night? What did Lin Mo post?"

"Hiss," Guo Huowang thought hard, but he really couldn't remember. He picked up his Little Genius watch, opened QQ, and took a look.

Upon seeing the word "buttocks," he suddenly realized what it meant.

"What the hell!?"

"Shh!" Li Yu gestured for him to be quiet. "You know, I know, Heaven knows, Earth knows, that's enough. Don't make a fuss."

Guo Huowang nodded seriously, his expression solemn.

Actually, he didn't understand. It was just that Lin Mo said his butt hurt and was then silenced by the class monitor.

So what? His butt hurts every day.

However, in order not to appear too stupid, he pretended to understand and planned to discuss it with another gloomy student in the class later.
