My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

After the boss brought the wine, he paused for a moment and said, "You guys have a really impressive capacity for alcohol. I haven't seen young people who can drink like you in many years. I admire you."

Lin Mo smiled politely, "Actually, we were just pretending. We felt terrible after drinking it, but it was all for the sake of saving face."

The boss turned and left with a strange look on his face.

I've never seen a young person drink so much, nor have I ever seen such a frank young person.

Qian Duoduo spoke first, "Lin Mo, if you can't drink, then don't. Drinking is for having fun; it's not worth hurting your health."

Bi Yuntao chimed in, "That's right, what's with all this talk about saving face? We live in the same dorm, and even though we haven't known each other for long, we're practically brothers. What's the point of saving face between brothers? Let's stop drinking."

Lin Mo nodded, having already opened the bottle of liquor in his hand. He poured half of it into his own glass and placed the remaining half-bottle in front of Cheng Fei.

The next second, he winked at Qian Duoduo and Bi Yuntao with a smile and explained in a joking tone, "What I said to the boss just now was mainly to explain for the two of you, not including me and Cheng Fei."

Qian Duoduo: "..."

Bi Yuntao: "..."

Is this a good way to chat?

Just like before, Lin Mo tilted his head back and downed half a bottle of baijiu in one gulp, then picked up a skewer of grilled chicken wings and started gnawing on them.

As he munched on his drink, he stood up without batting an eye. "Chengfei, I've finished my drink. I'll go first. You can drink slowly. It's okay if you don't finish it. Drinking is all about having fun, so don't make yourself sick."

"Row."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Fei finally understood why Lin Mo had asked that question earlier, and gave Lin Mo a thumbs up.

There are many rules in Lucheng's drinking culture, one of which is...

Once you're at the banquet, you shouldn't leave early under normal circumstances. If you really have an urgent matter, then finish your drinks before leaving.

Of course, it's not mandatory.

If you can't drink, admitting defeat is fine too.

Lin Mo glanced at Qian Duoduo and Bi Yuntao, then pointed to another unopened keg of draft beer on the table. "Don't open it if you can't finish it. If you want some, just get a few bottles. Don't get drunk. Cheng Fei drinks more than you guys. Help him out when we go back to school."

At this point, Qian Duoduo was completely convinced and dared not be stubborn anymore. "Brother Cheng and I are only so-so when it comes to drinking, so we won't drink anymore."

Bi Yuntao nodded in agreement, looking at Lin Mo with some concern, "Are you sure you're okay drinking so much? What's the rush? Does it have to be today? Why don't you come back to the dorm with us later?"

"Do I look like I'm in trouble?"

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Besides, I'm not going out; I'm just handling some things on campus."

Seeing Lin Mo say this, the others felt relieved.

Lin Mo secretly paid the bill, giving the shopkeeper an extra two hundred yuan, and asked him to personally escort Cheng Fei and the other two back to Xia Bei later.

It's only a little over 200 meters from Xia Bei's South Gate, very close, but considering that all three of them had been drinking and it's right next to the road, it would be safer to have someone escort them home.

The boss naturally wouldn't refuse such a good deal, and since it only took a few minutes to go back and forth, he readily agreed.

Lin Mo had just stepped out of the food stall when a voice came from behind him.

"Hello."

Hearing the noise, Lin Mo turned around in confusion, and when he saw Qiao Ming behind him, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He naturally had some impression of Qiao Ming, after all, he had just met her that afternoon.

Out of politeness, Lin Mo nodded to Qiao Ming, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

Qiao Ming walked to a spot next to Lin Mo, her expression revealing nervousness. "What a coincidence, you're eating here too?"

Lin Mo's eyes revealed helplessness. "I have other things to do. Goodbye."

Qiao Ming opened her mouth, her heart filled with a thousand words, yet she couldn't find the right way to express them. Finally, she managed to stammer out, "May I ask your name?"

"inconvenient."

Lin Mo strode away, moving very quickly.

Qiao Ming followed slowly behind, watching Lin Mo gradually disappear into the distance, a faint disappointment in her eyes.

The moment she saw Lin Mo downstairs at the dormitory this afternoon, her heart was in turmoil.

This guy's handsomeness is completely different from the handsomeness of idol stars you usually see on TV.

Refreshing!

Stunning!

It was like a black hole, drawing her in irresistibly.

The book says that everyone will see a ray of light in their youth and meet that special someone who can amaze them throughout their youth.

Previously, Qiao Ming scoffed at this statement, but now she realizes that what was written in the book was true.

The boy who was walking further and further away was the ray of light that could dazzle her youth...

Chapter 504 Qiao Ming's Mysterious Confidence

Qiao Ming arrived at the dormitory building in a daze. Just as she was about to go upstairs, she suddenly saw Lin Mo sitting on the flower bed by the roadside and stopped in her tracks.

What is he doing here?

Is it...

Upon considering that possibility, the disappointment on Qiao Ming's face disappeared, replaced by happiness.

She knew it! With her looks and proactive attitude, no normal guy could resist her.

Qiao Ming took a deep breath and walked lightly to Lin Mo. "Were you waiting for me?"

"No, I'm waiting for my boyfriend."

The lighting was dim where Lin Mo was, so Qiao Ming couldn't see his expression clearly. After hearing his answer, a shy blush flashed across her pretty face, "We've only just met..."

She changed the subject midway through her sentence, adding, "Of course, I'd be willing too."

Lin Mo: "?"

Seeing that Lin Mo remained silent, Qiao Ming stepped forward and mustered her courage to speak: "Don't keep your feelings to yourself if you like someone. If you like someone, be bold and say it. Don't be shy."

Lin Mo frowned. "What exactly are you talking about?"

Qiao Ming smiled, pursing her lips. "Still not admitting it?"

"Admit what?"

"Admit that you like me."

"..."

Lin Mo forced a smile, looking at Qiao Ming a meter away with a truly fascinating expression.

Is this girl out of her mind?

Twice... no, including this time it should be three times. In those three meetings, he and Qiao Ming exchanged no more than ten sentences.

Throughout, his attitude was extremely cold, even indifferent.

In this situation, what exactly made the girl mistakenly believe that she liked him?

Unexplained self-confidence?

"Sorry, I don't like you."

Lin Mo's voice grew colder and colder, "If I remember correctly, I told you I have a boyfriend. Please don't talk nonsense here, thank you."

Qiao Ming looked bewildered. "Isn't your boyfriend me?"

"I bumped into her this afternoon, then again at a food stall just now, and now this time too. It can't all be a coincidence. I've seen this kind of 'chance encounter' tactic to woo girls all the time, so there's nothing wrong with admitting it."

"You've been waiting here for me, haven't you? You said you were waiting for your boyfriend, but you should at least confess your feelings. You're just saying I'm your boyfriend without even confessing..."

Lin Mo frowned and jumped down from the flower bed. "Wait, is your sister's surname Liang?"

Qiao Ming looked puzzled. "My sister? I'm an only child, I don't have a sister. Besides, my surname is Qiao, so even if I had a sister, she would only have the surname Qiao."

Lin Mo suppressed his impatience. "You've got it wrong. I have a boyfriend, and it's not you. Please stop with your unrealistic fantasies, okay?"

Qiao Ming was left speechless with embarrassment.

Lin Mo's words were very clear and concise, without any beating around the bush.

These words shattered all her preconceived notions...

Just then, a series of thumping footsteps sounded.

Lin Mo and Qiao Ming both looked towards the dormitory entrance, and soon, a beautiful figure appeared in their sight.

Wearing a mask, An Youyu looked left and right, and when she saw Lin Mo, who was more than ten meters away from the left side of the dormitory gate, the corners of her lips under the mask slightly curved up.

However, she also saw Qiao Ming, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.

How could Qiao Ming be with Lin Mo?

Does she know Lin Mo?

Thinking of this possibility, An Youyu's lips unconsciously curved downwards as she quickly approached the two of them.

Before she could ask, Qiao Ming spoke first, "Little Fish, you've come at the right time. Help me take the food upstairs, I need to take care of some personal matters."

As he spoke, he handed the food in his hand to An Youyu.

An Youyu blinked blankly, "Um... Qiao Ming, I won't go upstairs for now."

"Ok?"

Qiao Ming was taken aback. "It's so late, you're not going out, are you?"

"No."

An Youyu shook her head. "Someone is looking for me."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Ming asked, "Who is it? Male or female?"

"male."

Where did they ask you to meet?

"here."
