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

Chapter 177 Just how close is this relationship!
By this time, Huang Mao had already found out some basic information about Chu Mengyao. He immediately said he was going to buy water, avoiding the two of them, and secretly sent a message to Zhao Yueyue.

Watching him walk away, Chu Mengyao put her arm around Chen Mo's shoulder and said, "Now it's just the two of us. Tell me quickly, what exactly is your relationship with this girl?"

"For now, we're roommates," Chen Mo replied with a smile.

Seeing that Chen Mo wasn't answering honestly, Chu Mengyao asked more directly this time: "I mean, do you have feelings for her?"

"What are your thoughts?" Chen Mo asked Chu Mengyao.

"Girls are so pretty, do I need to tell you guys what you're thinking?" Chu Mengyao gave her a look that said, "Don't pretend to be innocent."

"What kind of look is that? I, your brother Mo, am a gentleman. We slept together when we were kids, did I ever take advantage of you? You were the one who clung to me like a facehugger." Chen Mo immediately retorted.

Hearing that Chen Mo still remembered the scene of the two of them sleeping together when they were little, Chu Mengyao couldn't help but laugh.

She was also reminded of her unrestrained sleeping posture when she was a child.

"I'm not talking about lewd thoughts. I'm saying that since she's so good-looking and lives with you every day, don't you want to take your relationship to the next level? Like, actually becoming boyfriend and girlfriend?" Chu Mengyao asked directly.

Upon hearing this question, Chen Mo already had the answer in his heart.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he doesn't dare.

After all, as Chu Mengyao said, the two of them lived under the same roof, a man and a woman alone together.

The relationship is not yet defined, so I can still control myself. But once the relationship is defined...

With them coming and going together every day, Chen Mo found it hard to imagine whether he had enough self-control to prevent anything from happening between him and Su Yuqing.

He was afraid that things would happen too soon and cause some negative consequences.

That's why he maintained an extremely ambiguous and intimate relationship with Su Yuqing.

They're not lovers, but they're closer than lovers, yet they maintain mutual restraint.

Actually, it would be relatively easy for Chen Mo to control his behavior with his own brain if he were only asked to do so. What he fears most is that once they establish a relationship, Su Yuqing will get closer to him and have more intimate contact with him.

When the other party makes more intimate and proactive contact, and he's not a saint, it's really hard for him to control himself.

At this age of youthful vigor, once their passion is fully ignited, the younger brother grows up to be harder to control than an AK47.

But if it's to control the gun and prevent the other person from getting too close, then what does it mean for the two of them to establish a relationship?
Won't this hurt their feelings?
This is also the most important reason why Chen Mo is currently trying to remain restrained and not take the relationship any further.

It would be better if the two of them took things further, at least after graduating from high school.

So he answered Chu Mengyao's question quite seriously this time, "Sometimes putting certain ideas into action might hurt the other person. Whether or not to take the relationship to the next level, we'll see after we graduate from high school."

Seeing Chen Mo's serious expression, Chu Mengyao was also taken aback.

She rarely saw Chen Mo with a serious expression, and if he did, it meant he really cared about the matter.

"It seems this girl is really important to you." Chu Mengyao didn't say this aloud, but only sighed in her heart.

I never imagined that Chen Mo would develop such deep feelings for another girl after only a short time apart from me.

She couldn't help but regret not contacting Chen Mo more, and also regret her shyness and pretense.

Whenever I see Chen Mo, we always act like best buddies. It seems our relationship will always be just that of childhood playmates.

Chu Mengyao could sense that Chen Mo rarely treated her as a woman.

The reason he could get so close to me without any reservations, like now sitting almost right next to me, letting me put my arm around his shoulder and chat with him.

It's because he didn't see himself as a girl at all, but just as a close friend, someone to sit with and chat and gossip. So he didn't care, and there was no need for him to be coy or avoid her.

Normally, even close male and female friends rarely get this close.

Thinking of this, Chu Mengyao still felt somewhat saddened.

Chen Mo never saw her as a woman.

She looked down at her clothes, then took out her phone to look at her medium-length hair. Perhaps it was because she didn't pay enough attention to herself that the other person couldn't notice her femininity.

She couldn't help but think that if they could get into the same university, she would definitely let Chen Mo see the girlish side of her.

At that time, it was still unknown whether he and this school beauty had taken things further.

She hoped that God would give her time to show herself, and that their relationship would be established later, before she fully revealed her feminine charm to Chen Mo.

At this moment, Zhao Yueyue had already received the intelligence sent back by Huang Mao.

"Hiss, childhood sweethearts, this is bad for Yuqing." Zhao Yueyue immediately showed the text message to Su Yuqing.

Upon seeing the information Huang Mao had gathered about Chu Mengyao and Chen Mo's relationship, Su Yuqing's heart immediately skipped a beat.

She never expected that Chen Mo would have such a handsome childhood sweetheart.

In Chen Mo's eyes, Chu Mengyao was just a good friend, and he never cared about her looks.

However, in the eyes of Su Yuqing and Zhao Yueyue, Chu Mengyao, who appeared to be dressed in a neutral style, was extremely charming.

Her face is the type that both men and women would find attractive.

This further aggravated Su Yuqing's sense of crisis.

Seeing her best friend face such a formidable rival, Zhao Yueyue was naturally anxious and worried.

Not only are they good-looking, but they're also childhood sweethearts.

The strength of this relationship is extremely high.

Especially seeing Chen Mo not rejecting Chu Mengyao's approach at all, the two of them chatting and laughing with their arms around each other's shoulders, it was hard to imagine how close their relationship was.

Different people see relationships differently from different perspectives.

Chen Mo had just run into one of his best childhood friends. They were used to putting their arms around each other, and he didn't even consider Chu Mengyao a girl.

However, in the eyes of Su Yuqing and Zhao Yueyue, the relationship between the two couldn't be better, and had reached a level that went beyond that of lovers.

Even normal couples wouldn't dare to act so intimately in front of so many people, especially with teachers around.

But they dared to do so, and didn't even care about the opinions of those around them. Just how close and natural must their relationship be?
