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

"You have low blood sugar, eat while you write." Lin Mo withdrew his hand; he hadn't been able to resist rubbing it a couple more times, hoping he wouldn't be seen as a pervert.

He wasn't trying to take advantage of her, but he didn't expect her hands to be so thin, with almost no flesh to touch them, which made him pause for a moment. They were fair and tender and quite pretty, but he thought he was touching a bamboo pole.

She's gotten so thin.

Xu Lingxi had known about her hypoglycemia before. To put it bluntly, she never liked to eat and would often roll around in her food even when she was hungry. She would force herself to stay awake and say that she wasn't tired, sleepy, or hungry, playing with her health. It was a bad habit that she had developed.

"No, I'm fine now." However, Xu Lingxi awkwardly refused, picked up her pen again, and finally remembered the two sentences she had just stammered over.

"Day and night."

Yes, love must withstand the test of time and space—a truth known to the ancients thousands of years ago. Therefore, modern relationships are simply laughable.

Senior year of high school is so busy, and so short; she can't afford to waste a single moment on meaningless things.

I can't believe I missed the quiz because I was thinking about him and what he did to me. I was so stupid to agree to let him bring me steamed buns.

He definitely had ulterior motives. He should have made it clear a long time ago that she absolutely refused to date him in a puppy love relationship!

If Lin Mo insists on disregarding her pride, she'll have no choice but to ask the teacher to change her seat.

As for the money she owed him for breakfast, sausages, and acupuncture, she could just pay it all back. At most, she could just cut back on the dishes on her plate for the rest of the week and save the rest.

But the fact remains that he was good to me.

So, after finishing the quiz, the girl took a deep breath and looked at Lin Mo.

The other person seemed to notice her odd behavior and stared intently at her.

"Thank you. I will pay you back."

"But... I said I wouldn't agree to that later."

"How much do you weigh again?" Lin Mo changed the subject.

"Ah, over eighty, I guess."

Do you believe I can lift you up with one hand?

"Hmm?"

Xu Lingxi was stunned by the question. Was this person really lacking in emotional intelligence, or did they simply not understand the meaning behind her words? Or had she misunderstood?

How can someone be so serious and meticulous one moment, and so childish and abstract the next?

"You're too thin. There will be a tug-of-war competition at the sports meet. What if you drag our class down? You need to eat more."

Lin Mo started rambling, "Because I emptied the steamed buns yesterday, the cafeteria switched to giving away free snacks today. A lot of people were scrambling for them, and I only managed to get two, which I brought to you."

He suddenly smiled smugly and pointed at her: "Aren't you going to thank your father?"

Xu Lingxi was stunned, her gaze gradually turning to disdain. She hadn't quite believed it at first, but after hearing Lin Mo say "Thank you, Dad," she felt a surge of inexplicable anger.

He's already made her angry, so since she got the shumai in exchange for steamed buns, she doesn't care anymore!

Thinking of this, the girl took out a shumai from the drawer with a stern face, took a big bite and shoved it away angrily.

As for the milk, Xu Lingxi put it back on his table; it was something outside of their agreement.

"Huh? How did you manage to steal the milk?" Lin Mo asked in surprise.

"You put it here yourself!" Xu Lingxi retorted resentfully, feeling wronged.

"Don't talk nonsense. Sigh, who knows if you've been secretly drinking it? I don't want the secondhand stuff."

As Lin Mo spoke, he pushed the milk back onto Xu Lingxi's desk. The girl frowned and was about to push it back when she saw Lin Mo's groping hand reach into her pencil case.

"Your pen refill is quite pretty, I'll trade you milk for it."

The girl opened her mouth, but didn't speak.

He simply scooped the milk back up silently.

Those were her favorite pen refills, which she had been saving for the exam; for her, milk wouldn't be enough to buy them.

For a moment, I felt a pang of bitterness and grievance.

But since Lin Mo had brought her breakfast and she still owed him sausages, she could only be generous.

The idea of ​​"puppy love" that had been on her mind was completely forgotten.

Lin Mo's performance was absolutely terrible! Who pursues a girl like that?!

"Ouch."

Xu Lingxi took another bite of the shumai in anger, and then gulped down milk in revenge, though she was unwilling to admit it, it was true.

It tastes so good!

Exchanging pen refills doesn't seem like such a bad deal.

"Oh, right, was there something you didn't finish saying?" Lin Mo asked casually, drawing a few circles on the paper with her pen refill.

"There's no need to say it." Xu Lingxi glanced at him, then turned slightly away, not wanting him to see the expression on her face as she enjoyed drinking the milk.

"Okay, I thought you had a crush on me. It's good that you don't."

Xu Lingxi's eyes widened immediately as she glared at Lin Mo.

You couldn't tell when she had a serious expression, but when she opened her eyes wide, you could tell they looked like a rabbit's. Perhaps she hadn't fully developed yet, so she didn't have a gentle, charming look, only the lively and cute appearance of a small animal.

"You...you...you...you're talking nonsense! It was clearly you who did this to me before!"

"Hmm? Me to you?" Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, turning the tables on him with the accusation of the villain.

As long as he doesn't admit it, Xu Lingxi definitely won't have the nerve to say something like, "It's clearly you who likes me."

LOL, actually I don't really want to be friends with you either.

My past dark history must be washed away! What confession? What does what Lin Hei Gou did have to do with me, Lin Mo?

It's not a clown, it's not a simp, it's called selective amnesia.

There was no other way; otherwise, this girl would always treat him like a "pursuer," which was really annoying.

To further increase her favorability, he will definitely do things that go beyond the scope of normal friendship, and it's not convenient for him to be labeled as a "pursuer".

Ideally, Xu Lingxi would treat him like an idiot; an idiot can do anything and it's all reasonable.

This is similar to playing Genshin Impact. When you can't understand someone's behavior, just knowing they play Genshin Impact...

Then everything makes sense.

After this breakfast, the haughty young lady should lower her guard.

The system just happened to pop up:

You've completely overcome the last barrier between you and Xu Lingxi about being deskmates, and she feels even more at ease with you.

[Some of the negative information has been unlocked]

Xu Lingxi is your second wife.

Yes, your first deceased wife.

[Years of irregular eating habits and overwork, coupled with the same hereditary disease as her mother, made it impossible for her to spend the rest of her life with you. Xu Lingxi chose to leave you and bear it alone.]

Her death certificate was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

[Remaining progress on unlocking black material: 0%]

A series of fragmented texts about spending time with Xu Lingxi in the future played out in Lin Mo's mind, leaving him stunned.

unexpected.

Lin Mo originally thought it would be at most a dating relationship, and even if they got married, perhaps they would separate due to incompatibility? Even knowing it couldn't possibly have a happy ending.

But I never expected it to be another life-or-death separation.

A memoir by a deceased wife? That's a bit of hell.

So, arrogance ruins a life, Xu Lingxi.

Why are you staring at my hands?

Xu Lingxi finished the quiz for him and noticed that the person was staring at her hand as if asleep, but his eyes were open.

"Haha, I just think you're amazing. You have so many fingers, at least ten. That's incredible."

Lin Mo recovered from her daze, praised her deskmate, and gave him a thumbs up to ease the tension.

"Boring." Xu Lingxi turned her head and covered her face, feeling an inexplicable urge to laugh. She really didn't know why every word Lin Mo said could tickle her funny bone.

"Are you full?" Lin Mo asked abruptly after she finished laughing.

"Ah? Yeah, I'm full." Xu Lingxi was slightly taken aback; such a simple greeting made her feel a little uncomfortable.

It's such a simple question, "Have you eaten yet?" But the last time I was asked this question seems like it was many years ago, before my mother became so unreliable. After meals, she would always ask me if I was full.

But I don't know when it started, even when her stomach was empty, she would habitually say that she was full.

Because she needs to learn to be strong; she has her own dreams.

That's why she wasn't afraid of going hungry.

"Sure?"

"Sure."

"As long as you're full, that's fine." Lin Mo smiled, then waited for the bell to ring for the end of morning self-study. He sprang to his feet and woke up Guo Huowang, who was fast asleep in front of him.

"Wangzi, get up and run the water!"

"No, I'm too sleepy."

"What did you do last night?" Li Yu, who was standing next to him, was still full of energy.

“I know, he went to sell human organs,” Lin Mo guessed. “He sold buttocks.”

"Damn it! I'm not deaf!" Guo Huowang seemed to have triggered a key word, suddenly waking up. "Go to the toilet, fuck it, let me show you what a steel ass looks like!"

"."

Xu Lingxi watched Lin Mo chatting and laughing among the group, and suddenly felt a little lonely.

In my new class, he seems to be the only one I can barely call a friend.

"Are you going to get some water?" Lin Mo had already reached the door, but he turned back to look at her.

Xu Lingxi looked up in confusion, intending to refuse, but then she remembered Lin Mo's earlier question, "Do you have a crush on me?"

Angry!

Go with him to get some water, it's no big deal. It also proves that I have nothing to hide.

She nodded, and then heard Guo Huowang emit a sharp, explosive sound:

"Birth?! Didn't you tell us to go relieve ourselves? Why are there female companions here?!"

Li Yu also looked disdainful, "Biyang, go by yourself. You want to drag us along as third wheels? No way!"

Lin Mo chuckled, "Hey, don't think of yourself as hydrogen gas, making popping noises all the time."

Actually, that's not the case. Calling his buddies is just a side thing; the real sense of accomplishment comes from bringing his pretty female classmate to get water.

Then, as Lin Mo told corny jokes and Xu Lingxi returned with the water, Nizi was so amused that she became withdrawn and vowed never to go out with him again.

But the two of them bumped into their homeroom teacher, Lao Ni.

And, following behind the teacher, was the aloof and reserved Li Zhihan.

Old Ni greeted them, pointed at Li Zhihan, and gave her a strange look.

"It's him?"

Li Zhihan nodded obediently, shifting her gaze a fraction of an inch away, as if she dared not look directly at him.
