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

Chapter 137 Two as One!
"Doing good deeds anonymously, and no one even knows which school the student is from."

"That's right, you've really taught a good student."

"People's hearts have grown cold; there aren't many people willing to stand up for what's right these days."

The people around him also spoke highly of Chen Mo.

At this moment, the woman glanced at the nearby surveillance cameras and had an idea for what to do next.

But right now, her child was the most important thing. She took off her coat and covered the boy with it, then gently rubbed his hands to keep him warm.

……

After leaving the scene, Chen Mo felt the soft body clinging to him tighter and tighter.

So much so that I could clearly feel the soft texture of the entire area.

"Yuqing, I can't breathe like this." Chen Mo said with a helpless smile as he looked at Su Yuqing, who was hugging him tightly.

But when he looked down, he saw a pair of eyes brimming with tears.

Su Yuqing's eyes were red-rimmed, and tiny water droplets clung to her eyelashes, clearly indicating that she was trying hard to hold back her tears.

She looked up at Chen Mo, her lips trembling slightly, as if a thousand words were stuck in her throat, but in the end, they only turned into a soft call with a nasal tone: "Promise me, you can't get into any trouble in the future."

The night breeze swept over his half-damp shirt, but Chen Mo's back burned from the warmth of her body pressed against his.

The sandalwood scent from the girl's hair, mixed with the fishy smell of the lake water, wafted into his nostrils. He instinctively wanted to pull away, but Su Yuqing's hands, wrapped around his waist, gripped him even tighter.

As the noise from the pebble beach faded into the distance, he could hear her rapid heartbeat piercing through her thin clothing, overlapping with his own pulse.

"I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?" Chen Mo softened his tone, raising his hand to wipe away the moisture from the corner of her eyes, only to find that his palm was still covered with dust from the lake.

He paused in mid-air, then simply wiped his hands on his own clothes and chuckled, "Let go first, don't get your clothes wet too."

Her clothes were already half-wet from the water stains on her body, and with Su Yuqing clinging to her so tightly, they would probably get wet too.

"So what if it's wet!" Su Yuqing's voice suddenly rose, tinged with tears, her knuckles white as she gripped his shirt. "If that boy had dragged you down, if you hadn't come up just now..." Her words abruptly cut off in the night wind as she buried her face in his chest, warm liquid seeping onto the cool fabric.

Chen Mo stood frozen in place.

Suddenly, I noticed a slight twitch on my shoulder—Su Yuqing was crying, but stubbornly refused to make a sound.

He sighed silently and gently placed his clean hand on her trembling back.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Hearing the gentle voice in her ear, Su Yuqing slowly stopped crying.

Just now, when the boy struggled frantically, almost causing Chen Mo to suffer as well, she dared not think about that scene any longer.

"Let's go home quickly, or I'm afraid I'll catch a cold if we stay any longer." Chen Mo smiled as he looked at Su Yuqing, who was trying to wipe away her tears.

Upon hearing this, Su Yuqing dared not delay any longer.

She immediately hugged Chen Mo tightly again and led him quickly forward.

Five minutes into their journey, the siren of an ambulance pierced the night sky in the distance.

However, the two ignored all of that and finally managed to get a ride-hailing car to return home.

Throughout the journey, Su Yuqing held Chen Mo tightly with her right hand while grasping his left hand with her left, trying her best to warm Chen Mo's gradually cooling body with her own body heat.

Chen Mo could clearly sense her nervousness and concern for him.

At this moment, Chen Mo also realized what was happening.

My life no longer belongs solely to myself.

I still have her life on my shoulders.

The two of them, now bound by a shared destiny, had become one. If something happened to him, what would become of Su Yuqing?

Thinking of this, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for the girl.

In this world, besides myself, is there anyone else who would genuinely care for her?

He pulled Su Yuqing into his arms, and the two of them embraced and snuggled together in the car like a couple.

The driver saw this scene through the rearview mirror and revealed a meaningful smile.

He thought to himself that young people these days really have no shame.

Back in my day, I wouldn't have dared to do that when I was dating.

Because there are not many vehicles on the road at night, and some sections of the road even have their traffic lights turned off, the time to get back is much shorter than the time to get there.

Soon, Chen Mo and Su Yuqing returned home.

As soon as she entered the house, Su Yuqing immediately ran to the kitchen and said, "Go take a hot bath. I'll make you some ginger tea."

Chen Mo smiled and nodded, then returned to his bedroom.

Su Yuqing then started making brown sugar water for Chen Mo, and added a few slices of ginger to the brown sugar water.

It is hoped that this will help Chen Mo dispel the chill that has accumulated along the way.

A short while later, Chen Mo's bedroom door opened, and Chen Mo, dressed in his pajamas, came out.

Su Yuqing, who was listlessly watching TV, quickly got up and ran to the kitchen.

Soon, she poured Chen Mo a cup of warm ginger tea.

"I checked, and the doctor said it's best to drink warm water; hot water isn't good for your health," Su Yuqing said gently, handing Chen Mo a mug filled with ginger tea at just the right temperature.

Chen Mo smiled, took the cup, sat down on the sofa, and obediently began to drink.

This ginger tea is filled with sweet love.

It tastes exceptionally sweet.

"It's getting late. I'm fine now. You should go to sleep." Chen Mo said with concern, looking at Su Yuqing who looked tired.

"Wait until you finish drinking." Su Yuqing sat down next to Chen Mo, gently keeping him company.

Chen Mo felt a warmth in his heart and said nothing more. He obediently finished the whole cup of ginger and brown sugar water, and only then did Su Yuqing go back to sleep satisfied.

After washing up and lying in bed, Su Yuqing's heart was still not at peace.

She never wanted to experience that terrifying feeling of almost losing Chen Mo again.

After forcing herself to calm down, Su Yuqing drifted off to sleep.

Compared to her, Chen Mo felt exceptionally tired today and fell asleep early.

But that night, he began to feel unwell.

At 1 a.m., Chen Mo was awakened by a feeling of suffocation, and his nose and throat began to feel uncomfortable.

"It seems I've caught a cold, cough cough." After coughing a few times, Chen Mo immediately touched his forehead with the back of his hand and felt that it was a little hot.

"Luckily it's Sunday, I'll just stay in bed all day."

Chen Mo picked up his phone and checked the time. It was only 1 a.m., so he immediately went back to sleep.

He slept soundly until a gentle knock came at the door, at which point he groggily opened his eyes. "Chen Mo, Chen Mo, are you alright? I need to use the spare key to open the door!"
