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

You don't know that the tranquility this small box of drinks gave her was the happiness she had longed for and pursued for many years.

[Some of the negative information has been unlocked.]

Ten years later, Li Zhihan is pregnant.

That's your child.

Eleven years later, she suffered a miscarriage at home.

Your future self will be completely unaware of this.

[With no relatives or friends around, Li Zhihan chose self-destruction in extreme loneliness and silence.]

[Remaining incriminating material awaits unlocking, progress 0%]

"Glug glug." That was the sound of Li Zhihan swallowing milk.

In the dark alley, the girl's skin was as delicate as snow, with a porcelain-like luster. A drop of milk slid from the corner of her lips and landed on her fair neck, indistinguishable from her skin.

It's hard to imagine that she would have so many entanglements with me, and that this would lead to this.

One corpse, two lives.

This boomerang from the future delivered a powerful elbow strike to him, traveling through time and space.

Lin Mo had mixed feelings.

Please read on and give me your monthly votes, meow~ Please, this is very important to my Zun Du!

Chapter 21 Give Me a Rub

"Selling candied haws~"

A vendor carrying skewers of candied hawthorns passed by the alley entrance, his shouts echoing through the alley, scattering the light and shadows that streamed into it.

The girl looked over curiously.

She looked away, while Lin Mo looked at her.

This socially awkward beauty, whose appearance alone suggests a cool and unappealing nature, has finally found her label to be much simpler:

[So happy!] [It tastes so good!] [It's strange not to like being here like this!]

What exactly happened that led these young girls to this state of mind, ultimately resulting in "self-destruction in extreme silence"?

"Hey, did you bump your knee on the chair?" Lin Mo asked, uttering the first words they'd exchanged since they'd been there so long.

To be honest, it was a bit awkward. Even though I knew she was even more fake and aloof than Xu Lingxi, I still felt a little unnatural when I saw her imposing pretty face.

Lin Mo's question went unanswered.

Li Zhihan turned her head timidly and stiffly about five to ten degrees, glancing at him out of the corner of her left eye.

Her chest heaved as she nibbled at the straw, leaving several teeth marks. She hesitated for a moment.

Finally, gritting her teeth and looking very embarrassed, she opened her mouth and said:

"Mmm mmm ...

"?"

Oh, she didn't mean to say that. She just said "um," but because she couldn't control her shoulders from shaking, she drew out the "um" sound and recited it like a repeating machine.

It's like talking to a fan.

"Does it hurt? Let me rub it for you?" Lin Mo thought that if Li Zhihan went home with an injured knee, her father would see her and probably come to the school to ask what happened. A quick investigation would likely reveal that he had abducted her.

The will-o'-the-wisp needs to be activated, but not passively.

We must open up dialectically and systematically, with the earlier openings driving the later ones.

Refreshing the wound won't heal it, but it can at least ease the pain, preventing Li Zhihan from limping home like this.

"!"

However, upon hearing his words, Li Zhihan became alert for a second. She tried to stand up and run away, but because of the bruise on her knee, she couldn't muster the strength and sat back down.

"."

Damn, she's so wary. I thought she was just a clueless, naive beauty.

Seeing that she couldn't escape, Li Zhihan opened her small schoolbag and took out a notebook and a pen.

She was holding the little notebook, which covered her face, revealing only her doe-like eyes peeking out like a kitten.

Lin Mo understood that she wanted to communicate by writing, but given her repetitive way of speaking, there was no way to have a normal conversation.

Then, the girl turned her back and began writing in her notebook.

It says...

"I'll give you more money, lots of money to buy milk, please don't touch me, okay?"

vulgar!

Lin Mo laughed in exasperation. He was being treated like a submissive man. Li Zhihan thought that buying his milk required sexual favors.

Baby, you're starting to have a bit of paranoia. Looks like your husband is doing a good job raising you.

You have a strong sense of self-preservation, and as the future father of our child, I'm very happy about that.

But I'm very unhappy that you're too wary of the child's father!

Thinking of this, Lin Mo snatched her notebook and pen.

He wrote in his notebook:

"Never mind, just give me a massage first!"

Upon seeing his words, Li Zhihan began to tremble and emit afterimages, clearly terrified. However, she needed his help, had offended him that morning, and now owed him a carton of milk.

I had no choice but to let him touch it a little.

The girl took a few deep breaths, then, with tears welling in her eyes, she reached up and rolled up her trouser legs.

Her pale pink ankles were exposed. The hemline went down to mid-calf, and she looked up at him.

"A little higher," Lin Mo said fiercely, not noticing any bumps or bruises.

Li Zhihan shuddered again, continuing to roll up her pants until the rounded knees of her long legs were completely exposed to the air.

Lin Mo actually smelled a fragrance, which was quite an exaggeration.

Upon seeing two rather deep bruises, he made Li Zhihan stop, otherwise she would have almost taken her pants off, and then there would really be no way to explain it to the police.

Of course, after confirming the location, he still lowered the girl's trouser leg and rubbed it for her through her school uniform pants.

Deep Blue, give me some points. Refresh!

Li Zhihan, who had closed her eyes and prepared to endure suffering, was caught off guard the moment Lin Mo made his move.

"嘤~~~"

The girl suddenly let out a soft moan, quickly covering her mouth and looking at him in surprise.

"Get up and walk around, it shouldn't hurt so much anymore." Lin Mo suppressed the urge to burst out laughing and pretended to be nonchalant.

Li Zhihan nodded, tried to stand up, and indeed the swelling was gone.

She blinked in confusion, staring at him.

They stared at each other for a second.

two seconds,

three seconds,

Li Zhihan blushed.

Your face is blushing.

Lin Mo was only halfway through his internal monologue when the girl quietly turned around and, in the blink of an eye, dashed out of the alley and disappeared.

"."

Garlic bird.

Communicating with people with social anxiety is still a long and arduous journey.

Lin Mo also emerged from the alley. The food stalls near the school gate were preparing to close, which meant it was already past 10:30.

His schoolbag, phone, and other belongings are still in the classroom.

On the way, Lin Mo bought some grilled sausages at the food street. The owner couldn't sell them all, so he gave him a few extra. Then Lin Mo returned to the classroom.

I ran into my new class's homeroom teacher on the way. He seemed to be looking for someone, but I couldn't be looking for him.

Back in the classroom, the lights were already off, and Lin Mo assumed no one was there. But as soon as he turned the lights back on, he found Xu Lingxi fast asleep, her lips smacking as she lay on the desk.

No?

My Deskmate, fast asleep in the classroom late at night

Using the [Emotion Perception] feature, Xu Lingxi's emotion tags changed again:

[Hungry][Sleepy][Not hungry][Not sleepy][The questions are so hard][Not hard][.]

"Fine, fine, you're going to be this arrogant all you want," Lin Mo thought, speechless. "How did you manage to do that?"

Is the interplay between the left and right hemispheres a manifestation of wave-particle duality unique to the arrogant? Quantum mechanics no longer applies.

"Wake up, the dorms will be locked if you stay any longer." Lin Mo went over to pack his bag, and tapped on Xu Lingxi's desk as he did so.

Xu Lingxi suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes red-rimmed, whether from crying or just waking up, it was hard to tell.

"Why are you back?" The girl was taken aback when she saw him, then smelled the aroma of grilled sausage.

"Guluulu~"

My stomach let out a disapproving growl.

There were only two people present. Which baby's tummy was rumbling? It's so hard to guess.

Xu Lingxi covered her face and pretended to be dead, and then came the classic scene—

"I'm not hungry."

"Oh, actually I wasn't planning on giving it to you either," Lin Mo said cheerfully.

Xu Lingxi pouted, "I don't want to eat."

"But..." Lin Mo slung his backpack over his shoulder and placed the sausage on the table.

"While you were sleeping, you were talking in your sleep and spat on my sausage. You'd better figure out how to pay for it."

Xu Lingxi put on a stern face; how could she get angry so quickly?

"You're really not convinced, huh?"

"Then you'll have to eat all these grilled sausages as punishment."

"Huh?" The girl was stunned.

"Oh right, I just saved the world and forgot to finish off the monster's corpse. I need to go back and finish it off first." Lin Mo muttered to himself, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and ran off.

"You guessed it right, I am the magical boy high school student, bye-bye."

"."

Before leaving, Lin Mo took one last look at her.

Upon noticing that the girl's emotion tag had been updated to include "A nice person," I couldn't help but frown and ponder.

Something is wrong with you.

But after a while, another message appeared above her head: "[No way!]", and Lin Mo's furrowed brows relaxed.

That feels good, that's more like it, otherwise I always feel like something's missing.

There's one good point too.

Lin Mo stopped in his tracks, his obsessive-compulsive disorder kicking in; he felt a sudden urge to go back and snatch the sausage that was already in her mouth.

Go all out with your arrogance, you bastard!
