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

Lin Mo gladly accepted it; this innocent-looking girl was quite sensible.

Sure, sure, once I become the most powerful minister under Han Shen, you will be second only to me!

"Hmph." Xu Lingxi couldn't help but let out a small snort when she saw this, hugging her small chest and acting all sweet and coquettish.

"Lin Mo of Biyang! You're so particular about arm wrestling with Han Shen?" Guo Huowang was so jealous he was practically writhing on the ground.

"So the person who is best at arm wrestling is the one who receives Han Shen's reward," Li Yu mused.

"If you were that strong, Han Shen would arm wrestle with you too," Yang Jian said, amused.

"Damn it, he's definitely going to grope me!" Guo Huowang said indignantly, looking at the vice squad leader.

"Vice-class monitor, look at him! He's offending Han Shen!"

"Waaaaah!" Huang Yaoyao bit her handkerchief and tugged at Zhang Xinyi's sleeve. "Xinyi, my heart aches so much. I really want to hold Zhihan's hand too!"

"Xinyi, Xinyi, please help me put in a good word for myself! I also want to compete with Zhihan!"

However, Zhang Xinyi was already addicted to the drama and completely ignored the others' impeachment and requests against Lin Mo.

She could only think that Lin Mo was a genius and that she hadn't chosen the wrong couple after all, as he actually thought of using arm wrestling to openly flirt in class.

So sweet!

Unfortunately, no one had anything to say to each other, and no one thought it was ambiguous!

There were only two people, and her, the expert on romance from God's perspective! She knew about it. A super sweet little scheme!

Ahhh, they made eye contact, they made eye contact. Seriously, even though they're an old married couple, they're still doing this. Huh? Lin Mo is even swallowing his saliva.

Do this kind of thing!

Huh? Why is Xixi baby angry and blowing bubbles? Oh my god, she even did NTR in front of everyone?

So sweet! And those distorted teeth!

"laugh!"

Zhang Xinyi couldn't help but let out an extremely high-pitched squirrel-like cry, which startled the several girls who were crying and wailing nearby who were eyeing Li Zhihan.

The ministers are about to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?

"Xinyi?" Huang Yaoyao was stunned. "You were definitely laughing just now, weren't you? You..."

"What?!" Zhang Xinyi rolled her eyes at her. "PE class is about to start, the first class of the semester."

"Zhihan definitely won't play with you guys. You're overthinking it. Lin Mo looks stronger than me, you guys can't handle him~"

"Everyone, go home, go home! Get ready for PE class!"

"woo woo woo woo."

Zhang Xinyi led everyone to disperse, but although they seemed to have dispersed, their attention was still completely focused on Lin Mo and Li Zhihan.

After all, it was just too bizarre. They wanted to know that Li Zhihan, who had always been indifferent to everything, would actually be interested in arm wrestling. Anyone would want to develop superhuman arms from that.

"Holy crap! You're really born, you idiot!"

Guo Huowang took a couple of steps with his soccer shoes in his hand, then couldn't help but turn around and saw Lin Mo holding Li Zhihan's hand, which made a sharp, explosive sound.

"You're really good at this!"

The thought that he was the one who started the loudest and attracted the attention of the whole class, eventually drawing Han Shen's attention to their arm wrestling, filled him with excruciating pain!

What is he then? A matchmaker? Someone who does all the work for others? Someone who's used and then discarded?

"Don't touch! Don't touch!!" Huang Yaoyao screamed along with them, running around the two of them helplessly, and finally could only comfort herself.

It was just an arm wrestling match, that's right, it doesn't count as holding hands. Her Zhihan is still innocent!

"That's infuriating, bro." Qiu Wuqi squinted and observed from afar. "Damn, this kid's gestures are all wrong, aren't they?"

"Nonsense, who arm wrestles using only their fingers?" Li Yu commented. "I knew he was going to pull some tricks once he got his kicks."

"Give up." Han Zhiheng remained serious. "Anyone would be unable to resist."

"Biyang, I'll get my revenge!" Guo Huowang put on his spiked boots. "I'm going to smash him to pieces!"

"I'm going to kick that scoundrel's demon ball to pieces with a soccer ball!"

"You idiot Wangzi, it's all your fault! You moron! Who told you to shout so loudly?! Now look what happened, you just gave Lin Mo a chance to show off!"

"Do you think I wanted this?!"

While the classroom was noisy, Lin Mo's place was surprisingly quiet. It wasn't that the noise had stopped, but rather that Chu Nan was a little shy.

Xu Lingxi snorted and pushed the table away. Huang Yaoyao was being held back by Chen Wenxin and kept from running around, making a squeaking sound like a groundhog. Guo Huowang was also making loud noises. Most people were paying attention to this place, but there was a suitable space for him to express himself.

All I can say is that Zhang Xinyi exerted her influence subtly; thank you, Zhang's mother.

However, being stared at like this made even Iron Sigma a little embarrassed, so he only stretched out half of his hand and placed it on Li Zhihan's fingers, not even touching her palm.

I was too embarrassed to grab the rest.

Girls' fingers often look like this, pale and cold. Li Zhihan's fingers are also a bit bony; you can feel her slenderness just by touching them.

Lin Mo swallowed hard, his mind a complete mess. Damn, this was truly terrifying. There was a difference between interacting with Li Zhihan in private and interacting with her in front of so many people.

Just as I was about to say something.

But then Li Zhihan suddenly grabbed his hand tightly.

"Uh?"

The two men pressed their palms together.

"Clap."

Lin Mo's hand was pressed down on the table, while the girl tilted her head, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

That doubt seemed to say

You're so weak.

Lin Mo's face turned slightly red.

At the same time, another scream erupted in the classroom.

"He's letting the water out! He's letting the water out!"

"He did it on purpose! He just wanted to take advantage of Han Shen! Vice class monitor, you see right through this!"

"Hehe!" Zhang Xinyi laughed with satisfaction.

"?" Everyone looked horrified.

I wrote this in a bit of a rush, so I don't know how many typos there are. I've roughly planned out the rest of the plot, so it should flow more smoothly now.

Chapter 96 A Girl's Puberty

"."

The cat frowned.

Li Zhihan held Lin Mo's hand and shook it back and forth several times, but she realized that he wasn't exerting any force at all.

She was the only one who moved.

It's meaningless if only one person is moving.

Lin Mo was limp and weak; a light touch was enough for her to collapse onto the table like a deflated balloon.

She had never arm wrestled before; her attention was entirely on him. She just felt he seemed very strong, so she wanted to give it a try.

This feeling of having only him in her eyes was so strange that it made her forget that she was still in the classroom, still in the noisy environment she usually resisted.

But it's time for physical education class too.

Li Zhihan tried to pull her hand away, but Lin Mo's usually weak hand suddenly exerted force.

"You're amazing." Lin Mo gave him a thumbs up. "You're really strong."

Then, Lin Mo simply grabbed her hand and started touching it repeatedly.

The boy's slightly rough fingerprints rubbed against her palm.

It was a little itchy, yet it also reminded her of the temperature that had kept her awake all night.

Although it's not quite as good as a foot massage, it's still quite comfortable.

However, after a brief moment of comfort, a strange sense of embarrassment began to creep into my heart.

The surrounding gazes seemed to heat the air; the sweltering air brushed against her temples hidden in her hair, the ends of which covered her neck, accumulating heat completely different from comfort.

It's like this again.

When you're close to him and he touches you, the comfort is a quiet warmth, but as time goes by, that warmth slowly turns into a burning heat.

The intense heat kept her awake all night staring at his chat profile picture, and she even got a small mosquito bite while standing on the balcony to get some fresh air.

Now, in a space no longer just between the two of them, under so many gazes, the oppressive heat and unspeakable emotions clashed internally and externally.

For the first time, her evasive gaze was no longer due to fear, but rather to an indescribable emotion.

Li Zhihan's breathing became slightly erratic, and she couldn't help but gently kick his leg under the table.

Lin Mo was stunned, looking at the girl's pretty face, which remained expressionless, except that her ears seemed to be a little red.

Emotional tags popped up:

[Hot] [Need to go to the toilet] [Looks like I need to]

"?"

Ha, I caught you! Were you thinking something lewd?

Who insisted on arm wrestling, and now they can't handle it?

No, no, you've touched my hand for so long, now I have to touch it back.

I will take back all the teeth and jaws I've lost!

Soft, tender, and juicy—it's truly a top-quality ice cream!

"laugh!"

Just then, Zhang Xinyi's squirrel-like squirrel call suddenly rang out again. Lin Mo turned around and saw several unfriendly gazes.

This class is alright in every way, except the classmates are too fond of spying.

Lin Mo felt it was a pity and decided not to wash his hands until he touched Li Zhihan's hand again.

Finally, they let go.

"..." Li Zhihan quickly withdrew her small hand, looked at the blush that had been rubbed on it, and pursed her lips.

Lin Mo stood up nonchalantly and coughed twice:

"Well, victory and defeat are common in war. When you meet a worthy opponent, it's easy to get carried away and end up using a bit more force."

"Lin Mo, you're disgusting! You're despicable! I'm going to beat you up, waaaaaah!" Huang Yaoyao gritted her teeth. If Chen Wenxin hadn't been holding her back, she would have rushed over and fought him to the death.

"Yaoyao, never mind, class is about to start, let's go." Chen Wenxin pulled her outside.

"You bastard, just wait until we kick you to death!" Guo Huowang and his men were all ready to go, rubbing their spiked shoes against the tiles.

"They must be severely punished! You got your pleasure, and you even dared to touch me inappropriately!"

Qiu Wuqi found a rugby helmet somewhere and put it on his head to cosplay as a rugby zombie.

"During physical education class, the physical contact made Lin Mo's simple drawing fly up!"

"Let's test the strength with Wangzi first. Oi, Wangzi, hold on tight. Let me see how hard this helmet is, whether it can crush your hemorrhoids."

"Your mom? Just say you want her!"

"."

When the bell rang, the remaining half of the students in the class ran out. They had waited two or three weeks to get their first physical education class in their senior year.

The answer is always the same: the PE teacher's wife is about to give birth, his sister-in-law is about to give birth, his mother is about to give birth, his son is about to give birth—any excuse will be enough to send the PE teacher flying.

Lin Mo picked up his water bottle, ready to exercise as well. Senior year physical education classes are still very valuable, even though there aren't many serious activities.

They also noticed that Xu Lingxi seemed to have left in a hurry and hadn't brought a water bottle, so they picked it up for her as well.
