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

If he considers her a good friend or "best confidante," how could he talk like that?

Or is this how good friends are supposed to be? It seems Lin Mo and those boys were quite impolite.

But how could he help another girl fix things first? Didn't he even consider that she was his deskmate? Oh, and even if they weren't best friends, they were at least deskmates with a good relationship.

Since she has accepted him and decided to put aside past grievances and be good classmates and friends, shouldn't being classmates be the priority?

But though I had a thousand words in my heart and countless questions swirling in my mind, what came out of my mouth was:

"You...you know how to fix things?"

"Didn't you already ask?"

"."

"Oh, you can fix things."

Xu Lingxi held a mechanical pencil in her hand, muttering to herself before turning her head away shyly.

In fact, all the mental preparation she had done before was for this pen.

She had used this pen for many years; it was a precious birthday gift from when she was a child. Having just secretly peeked at it and learned that Lin Mo was very good at fixing things, she couldn't help but feel a surge of affection.

She wondered if she could use her status as a "best friend" or "good deskmate" to get Lin Mo to fix it for her.

But he had helped me so much before, so it's clear that things aren't as simple as Guo Huowang made them out to be.

From Xu Lingxi's perspective, there are too many coincidences.

She thought Lin Mo would ask her first, but why... even after all those hints, he still hasn't reacted? Could it be that being best friends or classmates was just a figment of her imagination? She clearly doesn't like him anymore, so why did Lin Mo treat her so specially before? So annoying!

Angry!

The school bell rang at that moment.

"Class begin!"

After testing the "new" little bee, Teacher Cai was in a great mood, and her voice even became much lighter.

She glanced around, finding Lin Mo more and more pleasing to the eye, while the boys in her original class seemed increasingly undesirable.

"Huowang, Zhiheng, who told you to go back to your seats? Go back to standing as punishment!"

"Huh? Teacher! What about Lin Mo too?" Guo Huowang, who was deep in thought, was stunned.

"Don't talk back to the teacher!"

"no."

"hurry up!"

Guo Huowang felt as if the world had ended, and dejectedly stood at the back.

Damn it! An invisible hand has exerted its force! The Trisolarans! Lin Mo is a Trisolaran! Just because he discovered Lin Mo's unspeakable secret! He's about to be punished!

This English class was much more normal, mainly because the troublemakers were singled out and no one caused any trouble.

Until the bell rang, the cancellation of the long break for exercises meant more free time. The boys in the class rushed out like mad dogs with basketballs and soccer balls. Guo Huowang, who had been suppressing his emotions for a long time, was even more out of control.

Lin Mo was surrounded by girls at his seat, and a few boys also came over, waiting for him to fix something.

As his deskmate, Xu Lingxi was forced to suffer the same fate. She sat awkwardly for a while, feeling a pang of bitterness in her heart, and then spoke:

"I'll step aside first. It'll make it easier for you to fix it."

Just as the girl was about to get up and leave, she saw Lin Mo's groping hand reach into her pencil case for the second time.

She paused, and when she looked again...

Lin Mo then precisely picked up the broken mechanical pencil.

The girl looked at him, holding her breath, her eyes filled with fluctuating emotions.

Lin Mo smiled but didn't respond directly to her. Instead, he addressed the people around him:

"Wait a minute, I need to fix my deskmate's deskmate's desk first."

"After all, having your deskmate as your deskmate gives priority."

That's more like it. Hmph.

Thank you so much for the monthly pass and red envelope from the user "找杂草"! You've gone to so much trouble!

Please keep reading and give me your monthly votes!

Chapter 29 Call Mom

At lunchtime, the students, who valued their meals above all else, dispersed within minutes.

Lin Mo quickly packed a lunchbox and went back to the classroom to eat, originally intending to enjoy some time alone with the socially awkward girl.

The socially awkward girl usually brings her own lunch, since she refuses to eat in the cafeteria, which is like a large-scale livestock farm.

Class Two values ​​lunch break quite a bit. School ends at 11:45 a.m. and classes don't start again until 2:30 p.m. After lunch, everyone goes to their dormitories to sleep. Day students also have temporary dormitories where they can take a nap.

Lin Mo finally understood.

Gluttony, excessive sleepiness, and lust are the three great laws of Class Two.

There weren't many opportunities for him to meet privately with Li Zhihan. The time between meals and lunch break was one such time. With enough time alone, they could naturally "get to know each other better."

Regardless, the prospect of two lives lost in a pregnancy in the future is still quite terrifying.

This goes beyond mere eroticism; it's not some sweet little story, but a real, extreme tragedy that will happen in the future.

But then again,

If he can remedy the situation now and turn Miss Social Anxiety into Miss Social Cow, the tragedy can turn into a sweet and bittersweet little story.

Hmm, a rosy youth, huh? That's interesting.

However, in the classroom now, besides Li Zhihan, there's also a proud and arrogant "Curvy King."

Because the atmosphere of dining alone is disturbed.

Li Zhihan hesitated, staring blankly at the lunchbox in front of her, and didn't open it for a long time.

Upon discovering that Lin Mo had also arrived, Li Zhihan immediately put away her lunchbox and eyed them warily.

Oh ho, you're possessive of your food too?

Send it!

Let the socially awkward kitten stay there for now; food guarding is not a good habit.

"Why didn't you go to eat?" Lin Mo walked over and sat down, asking Xu Lingxi, who was engrossed in writing her test paper.

While asking the question, I scanned the girl's emotional tags.

[Nervous][Shy][I won't be hungry][If I eat, I won't be able to pay back the money for the sausages.][Silly mom doesn't give me money.]

Lin Mo glanced at her again; Xu Lingxi had just stopped writing, her expression calm and aloof.

Even though I've seen it before, it's still hard to imagine that the other person's little heart is such an adorable reduplicated word.

"There are too many people in the cafeteria."

She said calmly, looking at him as she considered her words:

"Oh, the pen is fixed. Yeah, thanks."

"It's just a matter of being deskmates, nothing special."

Xu Lingxi nodded, glancing at the lunchbox on his table. Her breathing became erratic, and she almost lost her composure.

Why did this guy bring food with him?!

Well.

It's okay, I ate a big breakfast, I can handle it.

Xu Lingxi adjusted her breathing and continued:

"I thought you were the same as in the old class. I misunderstood you, which is why my attitude wasn't very good before."

"Same as what?"

"Well, that..." Xu Lingxi suddenly felt her face burning. She realized how silly she was; she always thought he liked her.

People change, and besides, I rejected him so fiercely last semester.

She shouldn't have overthought it; Lin Mo clearly doesn't have those feelings for her anymore.

Remember his kindness from now on.

So now, I owe him money for a grilled sausage, a favor for bringing me shumai, a favor for fixing my pen, and a favor for helping me integrate into the class.

She had nothing to give him at the moment.

So, he silently bestowed upon Lin Mo the title of "Good Desk Mate" in his heart.

She'll pay it back later!

Once she has repaid all the favors she owes, they can be just ordinary classmates and ordinary friends.

Of course, it wasn't that she actively wanted to be his deskmate! It's just that this person insisted on coming up to her, and she happened to have some needs.

"Hmm? Why is your face so red?" Lin Mo suddenly leaned closer. "Which one is that?"

"I don't know." Xu Lingxi blushed and retorted, seizing the opportunity from the previous sentence, "I'm not blushing, I'm not embarrassed."

"Hey, they say a young girl's blush speaks louder than any sweet words, so what about you?"

As Lin Mo spoke, he opened his lunchbox. The cafeteria food smelled especially delicious today, almost as good as the pretty girl next to him.

Are you a teenage girl?

"?" Xu Lingxi was stunned for a moment. What did he mean by "she's a girl"? While her mind was racing, she couldn't help but look at Lin Mo's lunchbox. Why was it open?

Hold back!

"Otherwise what?" The girl swallowed hard, and patiently asked, considering that Lin Mo was a good classmate.

"It's Mom."

"."

Xu Lingxi clicked her tongue, her expression one of disdain, but she was utterly puzzled. How could she, at only eighteen, have a son who was half a head taller than her?

"Haha, just kidding. I played too many games during summer vacation, so it just came out of my head," Lin Mo laughed.

Actually, during summer vacation, Bai Limeng would always tease him and play games with him. Every time she won, she would say:

"Yay, I won! Call me Mom! Aren't you as awesome as I am? Good boy!"

This is similar to a guy saying "Am I awesome or not?" when he's having fun.

Lin Mo shouted many times, but there was no way around it. Shouting to Bai Limeng would make her happy and she would get gold coins, ranging from a green grandpa to a red grandpa.

This world is so mercenary; money talks.

One day, he'll turn the tables and make Bai Limeng call him "um." Just thinking about it is wonderful.

Now, he has to figure out a way to keep Xu Lingxi from starving to death.

Although it's unknown whether Xu Lingxi ever called him "Dad" in the future,

But considering only her status as his deceased wife...

She is also a mother figure.

"Hey, I remember now, someone brought me food, so this was a waste of money," Lin Mo suddenly said.

Xu Lingxi paused for a moment, then secretly glanced at Lin Mo's lunchbox again. "Oh, someone brought you lunch. You got it for nothing."

The girl was clearly not good at conversation; often, when she got nervous, she could only monotonously repeat what the other person said.

"Yes, so what should I do?"

"What should we do?" Xu Lingxi repeated, her embarrassment and longing practically written all over her face, but it was absolutely impossible for her to speak up.

"How about you do me a favor? You can eat this, it'll save you from queuing at the cafeteria, and I won't charge you."

"Help me? Oh." Xu Lingxi took a deep breath, pretending to be nonchalant, and rested her hand on her chin as if thinking. "If I need help... let me think about it."

"I'm not that hungry. I didn't really want to go to the cafeteria." Xu Lingxi awkwardly pressed the cap of her mechanical pencil with her other hand, trying to distract herself.
