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

"Sigh, if I can't finish it today, I'll do it tomorrow. If I'm lucky, I won't have to do it tomorrow."

"Huh?" Xu Lingxi was caught up in his trap, and slightly turned her head to reveal her beautiful, red eyes that had just been crying.

"Because it's too late," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Xu Lingxi pouted; she was no longer the naive girl she once was.

"It is not funny."

“Baby, you’re actually prettier today than yesterday.”

"boring."

"But you'll definitely be more beautiful tomorrow than you are today."

"."

Xu Lingxi almost couldn't suppress her laughter, but she managed to do so by silently chanting in her heart, "Lin Mo is a big liar."

She even had the energy to retaliate, slamming her pen on his desk:

"Stop with all this nonsense! Instead of focusing on your studies!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Teacher Xu is right." Lin Mo became serious in a second and gave her a silly salute.

Then he saw the girl pursing her lips, turning to the side with her shoulders trembling, before turning back a moment later.

Officer Rabbit's cold face was extremely serious:

"Put your hands down! From now on, no talking nonsense! Do you hear me!"

Cute.

Baby, your warning sounds like you're being affectionate!

Of course, finding her cute is one thing, but at this point, you also have to go along with her wishes.

"Yes!" Lin Mo replied earnestly.

"Hmph." Xu Lingxi rolled her eyes at him, and the corners of her lips, which had been curved down by worry and grievance, finally relaxed into a faint smile.

But Xu Lingxi has her own principles; once she says she won't talk to him now, she means she won't!

Otherwise, Lin Mo would really think she's easy to bully! That he can lie to her and tease her at will!

Even a good deskmate won't do. It's precisely because of their close relationship that she wants Lin Mo to know she's not so easy to please, and she can't let him get used to it.

She wouldn't care if the relationship wasn't good; it's precisely because she values ​​someone so much that she pays so much attention to these details.

Well, she wasn't trying to make things difficult for him.

Xu Lingxi thought that Lin Mo was an orphan, so he must be even lonelier than her. The world was so big, and he was all alone, yet he didn't cherish himself at all.

It's because of loneliness that one feels it doesn't matter what one does when going out on risks, but that's not right.

She just wanted him to know that he was also cared about, and that he shouldn't take risks without explaining things to her; she had to have the right to know.

"Swish"

Lost in thought, the girl's pen unconsciously began to draw circles on the paper.

The words that were once clear in her eyes slowly blurred. Xu Lingxi thought that she could never forget that night.

He said he was such a lonely person and wanted to find a friend like him, which is why she agreed to his request.

How long will it take to forget? Who knows? Maybe a month, maybe two months, maybe many years. What will happen to her and him many years from now?

Will we still be good deskmates?

No, Lin Mo is such a pushover! He'll help anyone in trouble; he must have been lying to her before!

Scammers scammers scammers

Xu Lingxi suddenly deflated, slumped onto the table, and thought of the scene of Lin Mo decisively running out in the rain to find Li Zhihan today. Her eyes dimmed.

I haven't even considered it yet.

Life is tough, Rabbit sighs.

Just as Xu Lingxi lay down, she saw a lecherous hand reach out and steal one of her black pens!

The girl was angry; why was this person still acting this way?

But as soon as she looked up, she saw Lin Mo standing her pens upright on the table. Not just one, but many pens, leaning against each other, looking precarious yet miraculously maintaining a balance.

The shape formed by all these pens is a heart.

Xu Lingxi stared wide-eyed. How was this possible? She had only seen such amazing things on the TV show "Approaching Science." Could it really maintain its balance?

"Hehe." Lin Mo chuckled, hiding behind the heart-shaped pattern of brushstrokes, and stretched out a hand to make a heart shape as well.

"Don't be angry, baby, I'm sending you a heart."

"Tch!" Xu Lingxi broke down in a second. How come this person has so many strange skills!

"What kind of love is that? It's so cheesy!" the girl muttered with a laugh. "Hurry up and finish your test!"

"Are you still angry?" Lin Mo chuckled. The [Balance] skill might seem useless, but it's quite effective at making girls happy.

"I'm not angry, what's there to be angry about? I'm very magnanimous, okay?" Xu Lingxi glared at him, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at the heart.

"Really? Your belly doesn't look that big to me."

"You're so annoying!" Xu Lingxi yawned. Her naughty deskmate couldn't stand being praised!

Not a single one is perfectly shaped!

Guo Huowang and Li Yu, who were in front, couldn't stand it anymore and turned around with disdain, revealing the same expression as Jacky Cheung.

"Ugh, how annoying!"

Xu Lingxi blushed immediately and lay there silently.

"Dude, can you just give me a quick death? What's going on between you two?" Guo Huowang said with dead fish eyes.

"It's just a friendship between classmates," Lin Mo said calmly.

“You are this,” Li Yu said, giving the middle finger. “You’re a total social butterfly.”

"Born!" Guo Huowang cursed, but then his eyes lit up when he saw the heart-shaped pen array on Lin Mo's desk.

"Holy crap! A stroke of genius!" he screamed, drawing the attention of the entire class.

"Not buddy?"

Qiu Wuqi ran around two large groups to come and see, his jaw almost dislocated. He looked at the heart shape, then at Lin Mo, and swallowed hard.

Are you Ma Liang?

“I think it’s Ip Man, the one who adds the finishing touch to the painting,” Han Zhiheng said, also coming over with his hands behind his back to observe.

"You mutt! Ip Man was the one who practiced Tai Chi!"

"What the hell are you talking about? Isn't Ip Man the one who's worth fifty to me?"

More and more people gathered, and even several girls came over to watch. Huang Yaoyao pulled Chen Wenxin along, looking on in amazement, and then pulled Shen Qingning and Zhang Xinyi over to see as well.

Xu Lingxi, on the other hand, was completely flustered and blushed, pretending to write her test paper seriously in front of everyone with a bright red face.

But the thought that Lin Mo had made this heart for her, and that so many people had seen it, made her incredibly embarrassed. Especially the vice class monitor, who kept staring at her and laughing!

And the way they were laughing was so weird!

That bad deskmate! So bad!

Just then, the school bell rang, and Lin Mo finally took apart the heart-shaped decoration. The crowd dispersed, and Li Zhihan appeared at the back door, diverting attention.

Xu Lingxi then covered her cheek and gasped for breath. Still unable to contain her anger, she punched Lin Mo twice more!

"? You study Wing Chun? Your punches are so fast?" Lin Mo asked in surprise.

"Hmph!" Xu Lingxi snorted coldly, "You big liar."

Give me back my pen.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, you're going to kill me."

"It's best to beat you up!"

Shame and indignation could not ultimately conceal the smile.

As Xu Lingxi listened to the school bell ring, her mind was only thinking about...

So what if he's a scammer?

Anyway, she was willing to believe his lies.

Finished it! 7,000 words today, meow!

Chapter 87 Li Zhihan: I'm in so much pain

After school, the students were noisier than usual, partly due to the weather, partly because they had just experienced the farce of a power outage, and partly because day students would have to stay in the school dormitory temporarily that night.

Any change that can bring to the boring senior year of high school is enough to excite students.

"Li Meng, it's raining so hard."

Hu Meng leaned on the railing, her narrow, upturned fox eyes seeming to hold a glimmer of light. She looked at the pattering rain and was about to stick out her tongue to catch it.

"Hey! The rain is dirty!" Bai Limeng was startled by her friend's action. Her best friend was a bit greedy and liked to lick everything she came across.

Bai Limeng pulled her back abruptly and criticized her:

"Mengmeng, have you forgotten how your tongue got frozen when you tried to lick ice in winter?"

"You're not a child anymore. Don't just open your mouth whenever you see something that looks edible."

"Oh." Hu Meng nodded. "I wanted to test whether acid rain is acidic or not."

"It's probably not that bad here. The environment is quite nice, and you won't be drinking acid rain, but the rainwater is still not clean."

As Bai Limeng explained, she texted Lin Mo, asking him which dormitory he lived in.

Hu Meng leaned over to look at her phone, saw Lin Mo's profile picture, and suddenly asked:

"Li Meng, are pretty things usually delicious?"

"Of course not, many beautiful mushrooms are poisonous."

As Bai Limeng spoke, she saw the "blue and sad mushroom" emoji sent by Lin Mo, smiled, and thinking that Hu Meng wouldn't understand either, she teased her:

"Especially those that grow on smelly men."

Upon hearing this, Hu Meng frowned and pondered for a while, then asked in confusion:

"Li Meng, isn't that called Yin?"

"!" Bai Limeng quickly covered Hu Meng's mouth. "You can't tell!"

"There are still so many people here, someone will hear us!"

"Children speak without thinking!" Bai Limeng silently vowed to herself, and she would never play the abstract game with Hu Meng again.

My best friend is not only a glutton, but also very outspoken.

I still remember the last time the two of us were taking a walk, we saw the principal's wig blown away, and Hu Meng even laughed at him in front of the principal, saying his head looked like a moldy hard-boiled egg.

Principal Lu Dan was so angry that his face turned red, so Bai Limeng grabbed Hu Meng and ran away quickly.

Every time the teacher taught Chinese class, Hu Meng was the one she feared most, because she always asked some very tricky questions.

For example, the teacher said in class that Confucius was actually a tall and strong man from Shandong, and that he was able to travel around the states because he was good at fighting.

Upon hearing this, Hu Meng would likely draw parallels to Confucius's saying, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening," which would mean:

"If I know the way to your house in the morning, I can beat you to death by tonight."

Or perhaps, "A gentleman who is not dignified will not command respect," she might think:

"If a gentleman's fist is not heavy, he cannot establish authority."

There are many similar stories; in short, humanities teachers are all afraid of her, and science teachers aren't much better off.

After she made explosives in the lab three times in a row, the chemistry teacher stopped teaching her lab. When asked why, she retorted, "It's what the textbook taught me, so why can't I do it?"

Because of this personality, Hu Meng's outspokenness offended many of her classmates. Fortunately, Bai Limeng protected her well and managed the relationships between her roommates, ensuring they could all take care of her.
