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

This weekend, Su Yuqing behaved mostly normally.

But Chen Mo still noticed that she was somewhat secretive in her actions.

I don't know what they're doing.

Sometimes when she's looking at her phone, if Chen Mo gets close, she'll immediately press the lock screen button and turn off the phone screen.

It was as if there was some special secret that Chen Mo couldn't know.

Chen Mo, having served as a criminal investigator for many years, was extremely observant of the smallest details in life, and Su Yuqing's little actions could not escape his notice.

However, everyone has their little secrets, and Chen Mo thought they were just some private matters between girls that she was embarrassed to let him see, so he didn't ask any further questions.

Chen Mo originally thought that Su Yuqing's condition would only last for a short period of time.

However, half a month passed quickly, and Su Yuqing became increasingly cautious in her behavior.

Sometimes, even while she's talking or watching TV, she'll suddenly seem to remember something, quickly run back to her room, close the door, and then disappear without a trace.

She usually came out again shortly after closing the door.

Faced with Chen Mo's surprised gaze, she didn't explain anything, but simply avoided the topic.

This only made Chen Mo more curious.

But Chen Mo could still guess that she probably ran back to her room to write in her strange little notebook.

I have no idea what Su Yuqing has been secretly recording lately that she doesn't want me to know.

Curious, Chen Mo asked Zhao Yueyue again, but still couldn't get any useful information.

It seems that even Zhao Yueyue is unaware of what Su Yuqing is plotting.

Summer is almost here, and the college entrance examination is just around the corner.

However, at this important time, there is another important event: Su Yuqing's birthday is also approaching.

Su Yuqing is a Gemini, so Chen Mo needs to carefully plan how to celebrate her birthday.

However, before he could finish planning this matter, his mother sent him a message when he woke up this morning.

[Abstract Mom]: Momo, you're about to graduate from high school. Your mom and dad have turned down all their work to come back and take care of you, and fully support you in preparing for the exam. My dear son and my dear daughter-in-law, do you have any gifts from abroad that you'd like? Mom can buy them for you.

Looking at the message from his mother, Chen Mo couldn't help but recall the time when he was in high school and about to take the college entrance exam. At that time, because of Su Yuqing, he declined his parents' offer to come back and take care of him.

Looking back now, I realize that even though my parents were very busy, they still tried their best to accompany me through important milestones in my life.

They were really dedicated to their duties, but they simply couldn't be with their children all the time because they were just trying to earn money to support their family.

In my past life, we never had a family reunion during high school, so in this life, we really should have a proper family reunion and celebration.

[My dear son]: When are you coming back?
[Abstract Mom]: It depends on how well I'm handling things. Anyway, I'll be back at least a week before your exam.

After talking with his mother, Chen Mo suddenly realized that Su Yuqing's birthday was also approaching.

Her birthday is a very special number, May 21st, which happens to be the day after Valentine's Day for many couples.

If they become a couple in the future, celebrating Valentine's Day first, and then celebrating their birthdays together at midnight that night would be a very romantic thing.

When Chen Mo thought about Su Yuqing's birthday being May 21st, he couldn't help but wonder if Su Yuqing had been secretly keeping some things from him for the past two weeks because she cared about her own birthday.
But if that's the case, then what is she secretly recording?

Chen Mo was quite curious about this, but since Su Yuqing didn't say anything, he could only keep it to himself and didn't ask too much. In the morning, Su Yuqing prepared breakfast for Chen Mo as usual.

After taking their seats at the dining table, Chen Mo looked at Su Yuqing and smiled, "My parents should be back soon."

Su Yuqing paused as she was scooping sugar into the porridge. The spoon fell into the bowl with a clatter, and a few glistening sugar frostings immediately clung to the rim of the white porcelain bowl.

When Chen Mo mentioned that his parents were coming back, she was immediately stunned.

A strange sense of unease filled my heart, and my heart began to beat faster.

"When...when will they be back?"

In her panic, Su Yuqing even started to stammer when she spoke.

"They didn't say a specific time, only that they'd be back in the next two or three days." Chen Mo smiled and took a bite of his fried egg. "They do have the key to this house. I was just worried that they might suddenly come back and scare you, so I was telling you in advance so you could be mentally prepared."

"Then... what should I do when I see them?" Su Yuqing was very nervous.

It feels like an ugly daughter-in-law is about to meet her in-laws.

"Silly girl, what can we do? Just do it normally. You can call them uncle or aunt if you like..."

Chen Mo paused deliberately halfway through his sentence, and after seeing Su Yuqing's face turn red, he continued with a smile, "You can call them employers too."

Upon hearing the second half of that sentence, Su Yuqing immediately rolled her eyes at Chen Mo.

This adorable, embarrassed expression made Chen Mo laugh, finding it even more amusing.

Although Chen Mo's jokes eased Su Yuqing's mind a bit, she was still very nervous at the thought of meeting Chen Mo's parents soon.

As a result, for the next two days, even during school hours, Su Yuqing was often in a daze.

Because she was still thinking about how to face Chen Mo's parents.

I wonder how they will react when they see me.

They had no idea how the other family would view their existence once they got home, and their hearts were filled with too many unknowns and too much anxiety.

As a result, Su Yuqing has been somewhat absent-minded and at a loss these past two days.

Friday night arrived in the blink of an eye.

After evening self-study ended that day, Chen Mo took Su Yuqing out for a late-night snack as usual before heading home.

As usual, the two returned to their front door, opened it, and prepared to go inside.

However, when Chen Mo pressed the light switch, he was surprised to find that the light wouldn't turn on.

However, the motion-sensor lights in the hallway behind us were still on, so it didn't seem like there was no power.

He immediately suspected that there might be a problem with the electrical circuits in his home.

"What's wrong?" Su Yuqing asked curiously when she saw that Chen Mo hadn't turned on the light.

"I don't know, it seems like there's a problem with the electrical circuit in the house." Chen Mo used his phone to illuminate the doorway before preparing to lead Su Yuqing into the room, but the moment the phone shone the light, Chen Mo's hair stood on end as he noticed something amiss!

"Wait!" He quickly shielded Su Yuqing behind him, preventing her from entering. (End of Chapter)
