On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 118 The Aura of Youth! (Don't let this book sit unfinished!)
"See, this time you've gotten better at it and it's taken shape much faster."

Seeing that Su Yuqing was able to roughly shape the clay on her own, Chen Mo then placed his palm on the back of Su Yuqing's hand again to help her stabilize it.

The pottery machine continued to spin tirelessly, and the splashes of clay formed a fine curtain between the two of them.

After confirming that Su Yuqing could handle things on her own, Chen Mo returned to his own side.

Chen Mo suddenly let go of her hands, leaving Su Yuqing, whose hands had just been warmed by his touch, feeling a sense of loss.

Having experienced what just happened, she finally understood why couples in the throes of new love like to hold hands and link their fingers together.

Because when fingers intertwine, they can feel each other's delicate and warm touch, which immediately makes the heart beat faster, blood vessels dilate, dopamine is released rapidly, and one feels pleasure, making one reluctant to part.

However, Su Yuqing didn't dwell on it and quickly calmed down to focus on the clay in front of her.

She was making this for Chen Mo, so naturally she had to put her whole heart and soul into it.

Before long, the two of them had each completed a hairstyle.

However, shaping on a potter's wheel is only the first step. The process of shaping, applying plastic, drying, glazing, and finally firing is still very time-consuming.

It will take many more days to actually get the finished product.

Chen Mo brought Su Yuqing along to deliver a gift to Zhao Yueyue, but in reality, he deliberately brought Su Yuqing to relax and experience the small, beautiful moments in life.

Of course, that doesn't stop him from actually planning to make a cup for Zhao Yueyue.

I would take photos and show them to Zhao Yueyue first, and then send them to her after the goods were shipped.

It was a surprise for her in advance, giving her something to look forward to.

After spending half an hour there, the two finally washed their hands and mud-covered faces and walked out of the shop together.

They were all very much looking forward to seeing what the finished product would look like in a few days.

Because of Su Yuqing's limited skills, she only made a cup for Chen Mo.

Chen Mo made two at once. One was intended to be given to Zhao Yueyue in Su Yuqing's name, and the other was made specifically for Su Yuqing.

Since the gift couldn't be given directly right now, Chen Mo and Su Yuqing browsed around the shops next door for a bit.

I bought Zhao Yueyue a small backpack that fits her well.

This backpack isn't expensive, and it looks like it would be perfect for a high school girl.

Chen Mo and Su Yuqing both guessed that Zhao Yueyue would like it.

After buying the gifts, the two left the mall together and headed towards Jiangbin Xiaozhu.

They were delayed because they were making ceramic cups, and at this point, only the two of them were missing from Jiangbin Xiaozhu.

There are currently five people in the private room.

Zhao Yueyue and Huang Mao were already seated. Next to Zhao Yueyue was a girl who looked somewhat similar to her.

She is Zhao Yueyue's younger sister, Zhao Yuanyuan.

She is one year younger than Zhao Yueyue and is currently a high school sophomore.

Unlike Zhao Yueyue's outgoing personality, Zhao Yuanyuan is a rather introverted girl.

During the school weekdays, I rarely even leave the classroom.

So he rarely visits his older sister's place. You can tell from the way they're sitting here.

Zhao Yuanyuan was very reserved. After sitting down, she barely looked at anyone else and just kept her head down looking at her phone.

Besides the three of them, the rest were Lin Yu-an and his younger brother Lin Yu-xi.

Lin Yu'an initially thought it might not be appropriate to bring his younger brother along, but it was Zhao Yueyue who suggested that Lin Yu'an bring his brother.

They knew each other before. Zhao Yueyue knew about Chen Mo and Su Yuqing going to the night market because Lin Yuxi told her.

Zhao Yueyue felt that having more people around would make her birthday more lively.

The five people were all seated, but seeing that Chen Mo and Su Yuqing were still late, Huang Mao immediately sent a text message to urge them to arrive.

Inside the taxi, Chen Mo looked at Huang Mao's message, smiled and replied, "I'll be there soon," before turning to look at Su Yuqing, who was leaning on his shoulder.

Whether it was because she got up too early and did too much work this morning, or because she had been completely focused on making ceramic cups, she was now a little mentally exhausted and simply leaned on Chen Mo's shoulder to take a nap.

Seeing this, Chen Mo naturally couldn't bear to disturb her, so he let her lean against the window peacefully and turned to look at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window.

As he watched the scenery change, Chen Mo once again felt the passage of time.

Ten years from now, things will be completely different from what they are now.

The times are developing extremely rapidly.

In just ten years, technology has undergone tremendous changes.

The city's development has also undergone a complete transformation.

This sudden return to ten years ago has truly been a unique experience.

Suddenly, the person on his shoulder trembled slightly. Chen Mo turned around and saw Su Yuqing coming back to her senses, looking at him apologetically.

Chen Mo smiled gently, put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close, saying, "If you're tired, sleep a little longer. It'll still be ten minutes before we get there, not counting the traffic lights."

Su Yuqing glanced at Chen Mo with her beautiful eyes trembling slightly. She wanted to say that she wasn't tired, but feeling the warmth of the hand on her shoulder and the warmth of Chen Mo's chest, she couldn't help but swallow back the words she was about to say. She leaned against Chen Mo's chest, gently rested her head on his shoulder, and closed her eyes again.

This time, however, she didn't fall asleep. Instead, she simply closed her eyes and felt the touch of the boy next to her.

Su Yuqing's eyelashes trembled slightly on Chen Mo's shoulder.

The faint, refreshing scent of soapberry emanating from the boy, mixed with his unique, sunny, hormonal aroma, became increasingly clear in the enclosed carriage.

His chest rose and fell gently with his breathing, and a reassuring warmth emanated from his thin shirt. Su Yuqing counted his steady heartbeats and suddenly felt her ear tips burning—Chen Mo's slender fingers were gently tucking a stray strand of her hair behind her ear, and a tiny electric current was stirred when his knuckles brushed against her earlobe.

She hurriedly closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling frantically beneath them.

Chen Mo's Adam's apple suddenly moved above her forehead, and the sound of swallowing mixed with the sound of the wind outside the window entered her ears.

She pretended to adjust her posture, burying her face even deeper. When the tip of her nose brushed against his collarbone, the most lethal hormonal scent of a young man to a girl in puberty surged from Chen Mo's chest into Su Yuqing's nostrils, brewing a slightly intoxicating sweetness in the enclosed car.

The smell of hormones isn't the sour smell of sweat, but rather the fresh fragrance of shower gel released from the body heat of a young man.

The scent, warmed by the boy's body temperature, seemed to carry the vibrant energy unique to youth, and when smelled by a girl, it would naturally stir up a flutter in her heart.

"Master, could you turn the air conditioning down a bit?" Chen Mo's low voice resonated through his chest.

Su Yuqing felt the hand that was on her shoulder had somehow landed on her hand, which was casually resting on her knee.
