Faced with Cao Lian's question, Lin Mo became even more embarrassed, "That..."

"Explain yourself clearly. If you don't, I won't help you with this."

"Actually, it's nothing much, just a bed and some bedding."

"..."

Cao Lian, sitting in the office, stared wide-eyed. For a moment, he wondered if he was hallucinating.

It's one thing for a student to give orders to him, the dean of students, but what's worse is that he's asked to help buy a bed and bedding...

"Lin Mo, you've really gone too far this time!"

"I……"

"I'm the dean of students at Xiabei High School, what do you take me for?"

"I……"

"That's right, universities don't restrict students from dating, but does that mean the dean of students has to buy...buy beds for students?"

"I……"

"After buying the beds, do you also need to build a maternity hospital at the school? And then a postpartum care center?"

"..."

Lin Mo slapped his forehead. Before making the call, he had anticipated that Cao Lian might misunderstand after hearing his request, but he did not expect the misunderstanding to be so deep.

"Director Cao, it's not what you think."

"Ah--"

Cao Lian rolled his eyes secretly, a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "Lin Mo, do you think I'm stupid?"

"I……"

"You've already bought a bed, and it still doesn't mean that. An's charm is undeniable, but you can't just act like this. She's still young, you've been together for a long time, there will be plenty of opportunities for that kind of thing in the future, why rush it? What you should be doing now is..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Seeing that the call had fallen back into the previous pattern, Lin Mo hurriedly called a halt and explained earnestly, "Director Cao, it's really not what you think. I won't ask you for help with this matter anymore. Just pretend I never made this call."

"and many more!"

Just as Lin Mo was about to hang up the phone, his lips twitched, and he patiently asked, "Director Cao, is there anything else?"

"Transfer the money and send the list."

Cao Lian snorted irritably, his tone carrying a subtle reminder, "I'm telling you, this is a one-time thing, and there won't be a next time."

"No, really no need..."

"Transfer the money and send the statement!"

"Beep...beep beep..."

Hearing the phone call end, Lin Mo leaned against the railing in the corridor, utterly on the verge of tears.

He really didn't have any bad intentions...

Why can't there be more trust between people?

Ugh, what a mess this is!

Cao Lian was very fast; the whole process took just over half an hour. Around noon, he arrived at the Cuttlefish Library with several porters carrying a large bed.

"Knock Knock-"

A knock sounded at the door, and Lin Mo hurriedly went outside.

Just as Cao Lian was about to speak, Lin Mo gestured for silence and whispered to the movers, "Gentlemen, just put the things down quietly and don't make any noise."

Upon hearing this, Cao Lian's expression became quite strange.

isn't it?

This kid wouldn't have... before the bed even arrived.

brute!

Just then, Cao Lian's phone vibrated in his pocket. He glanced at Lin Mo, who was quietly directing the workers, walked aside, took out his phone, and saw that it was a message from Zhou Yi asking if he wanted to have lunch together.

Upon seeing the message, Cao Lian grinned. Just as he was about to reply, he suddenly remembered something, his fingers rapidly tapping on the screen before clicking send.

Miss Zhou, let me tell you, Lin Mo is really no good...

【? 】

[This guy made me, the dean of students, run off-campus to buy him a bed and some bedding. Before, he asked me for the right to use a classroom. I was a little confused at the time. He's a freshman, he hasn't joined any clubs, and he hasn't founded any clubs. What would he need the right to use a classroom for? Now I understand. This kid just wants to create a space for himself so he can take advantage of An Youyu. This guy's head is full of dirty thoughts...]

After seeing the movers to the stairwell, Lin Mo took out several hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them over, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

"Not hard, not hard."

Seeing that there was a tip, the movers were all smiles.

After seeing the others off, Lin Mo saw Cao Lian leaning against the wall, tapping away on the screen. Curious, he quietly approached from behind and, taking advantage of his height, easily saw Cao Lian and Zhou Yi's chat.

When Lin Mo saw the words 'yellow waste', his expression instantly became incredibly interesting.

"Director Cao!"

Chapter 618 Candlelight Lunch

"Director Cao!"

The sudden sound startled Cao Lian, causing him to stumble and nearly drop his phone. Turning his head, he met Lin Mo's gaze and felt a strange chill run down his spine.

As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the soul.

And Lin Mo's eyes at this moment...

The look in his eyes that seemed to want to kill someone was so obvious it couldn't be clearer!

"cough--"

Cao Lianqiang put away his phone, trying to appear calm. "Why do you walk so quietly? Don't you know you can scare someone to death?"

Lin Mo sneered, "If I weren't walking so quietly, how could I possibly see how Director Cao framed me?"

"False accusation?"

Cao Lian's face was tense. "What framing? What are you talking about?"

Seeing that Cao Lian refused to admit it, Lin Mo's lips twitched. "Stop pretending. I saw your chat with Sister Zhou. Your mind is full of dirty thoughts? Ha! Director Cao, can you not jump to conclusions before you've figured things out? How am I full of dirty thoughts?"

Seeing that Lin Mo had brought this up, Cao Lian was extremely embarrassed. "Ahem! Just kidding."

"How can you joke like that?"

Lin Mo took a step forward, and the next second, he raised his right hand, and Cao Lian's phone appeared in his palm.

Such a stealthy method startled Cao Lian, who stared wide-eyed. He belatedly touched his pocket and felt a chill run down his spine.

Without saying a word, Lin Mo made a video call to Zhou Yi.

After the call connected, Zhou Yi was clearly surprised when she saw Lin Mo.

"Sister Zhou, don't listen to Director Cao's nonsense. Things aren't like that at all..."

Lin Mo explained the whole thing very clearly in less than three minutes. After he finished explaining, he pushed open the classroom door and pointed the camera at An Youyu, who was sleeping on the table.

"Sister Zhou, that's the gist of it."

"Okay, I know."

In the video frame, Zhou Yi covered her mouth and laughed non-stop, "Lin Mo, give the phone back to Director Cao, I'll say a few words to him on his behalf."

Lin Mo glanced at Cao Lian, whose face was full of grievance, and said indifferently, "If possible, it would be best to scold him a few times."

"Haha... Okay, I'll think about it."

After tossing his phone to Cao Lian, Lin Mo went to the wooden crate leaning against the wall. The weight of over 200 pounds was negligible to him. He picked it up with one hand and began to carry it into the library.

This scene left Cao Lian completely dumbfounded.

When we went upstairs just now, he helped carry it for a while. The whole set of components must weigh at least 270 or 280 pounds, if not 300 pounds.

Four movers, including him, had only been carrying wooden frames containing components up a few flights of stairs, and everyone was exhausted and drenched in sweat, but now…

Lin Mo actually picked it up with one hand?

This……

"Director Cao, Director Cao?"

Zhou Yi's voice pulled Cao Lian back to reality, "Oh...oh, what's wrong?"

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "You need to apologize to Lin Mo for this. You really misunderstood him. Also, you can't make hasty judgments about things in the future. Learn from your mistakes."

The gentle voice made Cao Lian chuckle awkwardly. He scratched his head and said, "Okay, I'll apologize to Lin Mo later. I have time for lunch, let's have lunch together."

"Okay, that's all for now. See you at noon."

"See you at noon."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Lian hurriedly picked up the bed sheet and quilt from the corner and went inside. He glanced at An Youyu, who was sleeping on the table, and slowed his pace.

Seeing Lin Mo squatting on the ground assembling the bed, he walked over, put down what he was holding, and explained in a low voice, embarrassed: "Actually, this misunderstanding can't be blamed on me. When you suddenly asked me to help you buy a bed and these bedding items, any normal person would misunderstand."

Lin Mo didn't speak, but instead looked up and gave Cao Lian a look.

Cao Lian gave an awkward laugh, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Hearing this, Lin Mo stopped what he was doing, looked at Cao Lian with a half-smile, and said meaningfully, "Director Cao, you and Sister Zhou are developing quite quickly, aren't you? We just had lunch yesterday, and today Sister Zhou has already invited you to lunch. Is that alright?"

Cao Lian sensed the teasing in Lin Mo's words and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, his face flushed, a rare occurrence for him. "Miss Zhou and I... hit it off immediately. She's a very nice person and very beautiful..."

Noticing Cao Lian's expression, Lin Mo chuckled inwardly, "Director Cao, since you think it's a good match, then strike while the iron is hot and make the relationship official as soon as possible."

"I think so too."

Cao Lian smiled sheepishly and took out his phone, "I still have more than half of the money you transferred to me..."

"Take it."
