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

Chapter 143 The Confusion of Two People!
A serious man is the most handsome, and a serious woman is the most beautiful.

With a serious and focused expression, Su Yuqing gives off a feeling of being both beautiful and cool.

Chen Mo was completely absorbed in watching from the side.

He once thought that God had sent him back to the present to save Su Yuqing.

But now, Chen Mo thought about it again and realized that Su Yuqing's spirit might have seen him being tormented by his obsession and sent him back to save him.

That figure that always appeared on rainy days was nowhere to be seen after I went back this time. Isn't that why?

With her presence, I finally found some comfort in my heart; with her presence, I could feel completely at ease.

Only in her world can I have the chance to be myself again.

Who saved whom?

At that moment, Chen Mo suddenly had a clear-headed judgment.

"You're awake."

Just as Chen Mo was lost in thought, a gentle and soft voice came from inside, which was both reassuring and comforting to hear.

Seeing Su Yuqing turn her head and smile at him, Chen Mo gave a soft "hmm".

"Are you hungry? I'll go make you something to eat." Su Yuqing stepped forward to pull the blanket up for Chen Mo, sat down next to him, and gently patted his stomach through the blanket.

"I think I'm actually a bit hungry," Chen Mo replied with a smile.

"Then lie down obediently, I'll go make it for you right away." Su Yuqing smiled sweetly and immediately got up and left.

Chen Mo had just woken up and his mouth was a little dry. He wanted to drink some water, but after seeing Su Yuqing leave the room, he didn't call her again.

Unexpectedly, Su Yuqing returned shortly after leaving home with a water cup.

Upon seeing this scene, Chen Mo's heartstrings were involuntarily tugged.

I never expected Su Yuqing to be so thoughtful.

"You had a fever and just woke up, so you must be quite thirsty. Here, have some water first, and then I'll cook for you." Su Yuqing said softly, gently helping Chen Mo sit up against the headboard before bringing the water glass to his lips and slowly feeding him.

With half a glass left, she placed the glass on the bedside table and said with a smile, "You can't drink water too quickly. If you're still thirsty with the remaining half glass of warm water, take your time to drink it. I'm going to cook now."

After saying that, Su Yuqing left the room.

Watching Su Yuqing's departing figure, a fleeting fantasy suddenly flashed through Chen Mo's mind.

I imagine what it would be like to have a wife like that at home.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!
Lying in bed, Chen Mo's mind was racing with imagined scenarios.

When I came to my senses, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious and uncertain.

Sometimes, as the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly.

To everyone else, Chen Mo and Su Yuqing were already a perfect match, a match made in heaven.

However, they still didn't cross each other's boundaries.

Take Chen Mo himself, for example, at this moment.

He could understand Su Yuqing's care and concern for him, and even feel the love and dependence she conveyed.

But is this relationship a result of her lack of love from her family of origin, leading her to seek emotional compensation in others, which is why she treats herself this way? Or does she genuinely like and love herself, and is willing to become her lover and spend her life with her?

Chen Mo himself couldn't quite grasp the extent of this relationship.

Because the boundaries of emotions are inherently blurred. Some say that romantic love eventually transforms into familial affection.

Does a love that starts out like familial affection also exist?

Chen Mo felt that his relationship with Su Yuqing had skipped the romantic stage and entered a state similar to that of family.

The inseparable bond between the two stems more from an unbreakable bond like that of family.

Having come from the broken family of origin, Su Yuqing definitely needs a better family environment and stronger family affection to fill the void left by her past.

So when Chen Mo calmed down and carefully considered Su Yuqing's feelings for him, he was actually confused.

Especially after he developed feelings of love for Su Yuqing and wanted to spend his life with her, he became even more hesitant and fearful.

If Su Yuqing's feelings for him are merely a way to fill a void in their family relationship, would it seem abrupt for him to express his love for her?

Will it make her feel like she's caught in an emotional entanglement?

Thinking about all this made Chen Mo's mind even more confused.

He shook his head, ending these random thoughts. "There's always a way out. Things will work themselves out. Let nature take its course. We'll deal with the future later. It's too early to think about this now. I should at least wait until I graduate from high school before considering such important matters in my life."

Chen Mo suppressed this throbbing emotion.

In the kitchen, Su Yuqing was humming a little tune as she prepared a loving afternoon tea.

She seems to have an exceptional drive to take care of people.

This actually stems from Su Yuqing's own psychological flaws.

Under the constant insults and belittling education she received from her mother, she always felt that she was not needed by anyone.

So when she feels needed and that her existence is valuable, she will unconsciously feel happy.

This situation made her realize the meaning of her existence.

I am not dispensable, nor am I a burden to my family.

You can also play your own role.

Before, when Su Yuqing lived in this house, even if she wanted to demonstrate her value by cooking and doing housework, Chen Mo would often rush to do it or help her.

All of this makes it difficult for her to feel a unique sense of purpose.

Even today, after Chen Mo fell ill, he showed a strong dependence on her, entrusting everything at home to her.

Only then did she truly feel the meaning and value of her existence.

However, this mentality is ultimately unhealthy. After all, when a person needs to desperately try to prove their worth to others, they are already heading in the wrong direction.

Those who truly care about you don't need you to prove your worth.

Su Yuqing and Chen Mo have not yet fully realized their significance in each other's hearts.

But at least for now, this mindset has greatly alleviated Su Yuqing's depression in this respect.

Soon, Su Yuqing returned with the afternoon tea she had prepared.

Looking at the congee with preserved egg and lean pork that Su Yuqing had made, as well as some refreshing side dishes, Chen Mo's seriously ill and weak body inexplicably felt a surge of appetite.

After enjoying afternoon tea under Su Yuqing's service, Chen Mo inexplicably felt that his illness had suddenly lessened a lot.

Only then did he realize that he had forgotten to ask the retired mercenary who had been secretly protecting him near his home.
