I just want to take photos of them.

Xu Mo was confused. Was Xincai afraid that she wasn't ruthless enough? Or had she found something to rely on?

Suddenly, Xu Mo seemed to realize something, and then he smiled knowingly. He had a good idea to get rid of Su Xincai's confidence.

---------------

After the morning, Xu Mo received a message from Iori Ayako. She wanted to ask Xu Mo when they would start working, and Xu Mo replied that there was no need to worry, as the company still had some equipment that had not been purchased, and when it was completed, she and Xia Xin would be notified to visit.

Since the last time, Xu Mo has entrusted the purchase of the remaining scattered items of the company to Fu Xiaohua. According to the time, Fu Xiaohua should have finished it by now. The most urgent task now should be to recruit employees. Xu Mo decided to go to the local talent market with Fu Xiaohua after lunch. After a while, Fu Xiaohua said that he was free in the afternoon and they could go together.

Xu Mo put away his phone and suddenly found that there was nothing he could do for the time being, so he opened the bedroom door, sneaked in, and prepared to see what Su Xincai and Carol were doing.

"Hehehe, Sister Xincai Carol is so itchy~"

"Carol, don't move, it'll make the drawing crooked."

Su Xincai is drawing Carol's eyebrows. Carol sits in front of the mirror obediently, while Su Xincai stands by her side and draws her eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil.

Seeing this, Xu Mo did not make a sound to disturb the two of them, but quietly walked to a place not far behind them.

"This is used to make the eyes look bigger, because cosplay wigs often have strange shapes, and if you don't make them thicker, it will look weird."

"Yeah, Carol knows this. I once cosplayed in the photography shop opened by Brother Xu Mo. Sister Bai Ran and Sister Luo Xin told me about this."

When Carol heard Su Xincai mention what she knew, she excitedly told her about the cosplay experience at that time.

"Hmm? Bai Ran and Luo Xin?"

Su Xincai heard the names of two unfamiliar girls. Judging from Carol's tone, she was obviously acquainted with Xu Mo.

"ah!"

Carol then came to her senses and realized that she seemed to have said something she shouldn't have said.

Seeing this, Xu Mo at the side immediately said:

"They are twin sisters. They used to be my photography clients. I took cosplay photos for them."

"Hey! Xu Mo?"

"Brother Xu Mo!"

Su Xincai was startled by Xu Mo's sudden appearance, so she said:

"Xu Mo, you scared me. Why are you always so elusive?"

"I've been here for a long time, you just didn't hear me open the door."

"Are you still in contact with the twin sisters? Are you really just a partner?"

Su Xincai suddenly changed the subject and directed her criticism at Xu Mo.

"Of course, we are just a cooperative relationship at the moment!"

Xu Mo said with great certainty. A kiss on the lips is also considered a cooperative relationship, and it is only for the time being, not in the future. He himself did not lie to Su Xincai, he was just telling half the truth.

"Aren't they beautiful?"

"Of course, both of them are cute and beautiful."

"Then who is cuter and prettier between me and them?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Xincai stared at Xu Mo, as if she would do something to Xu Mo if he gave a wrong answer.

"Xincai, you are beautiful, have a good figure, and are gentle and considerate..."

Xu Mo swore that this was the first lie he told today, saying that Su Xincai was gentle and considerate.

Hearing Xu Mo praising her, Su Xincai nodded with satisfaction.

"Especially that pair of white silk knee-high socks, they are simply..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Carol is still here, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Seeing that Xu Mo's words were getting more and more out of line, Su Xincai quickly stopped him and stopped him from continuing. Glancing at the innocent Carol beside her, Su Xincai felt filled with guilt.

Xu Mo had to admire his own intelligence and he managed to get away with it.

Chapter 112: Xia Wanning's Past

"Okay, let's get ready to eat. I'll cook today, just tell me what you want to eat."

Xu Mo had to go out in the afternoon, and there was still a lot of food in the refrigerator at home, so he decided not to eat out. What's more, Su Xincai's current physical condition made it inconvenient for her to go out.

"I, I, I..."

Carol raised her hand and answered excitedly, then froze in her place, as if she couldn't remember what to eat. Then, her eyes lit up and she said:

"I want to eat Brother Xu Mo's fried chicken..."

"My word, whatever."

When Su Xincai said "whatever", Xu Mo got a headache. The most difficult requirement is to be whatever you want. Even if you say it's whatever you want, you still won't eat something you don't like.

"Okay, the two young ladies wait at home, I will go downstairs to buy the ingredients now."

About half an hour after Xu Mo left home, he came back with a large and small bag of ingredients. After a busy period, he finally prepared all four dishes and one soup. Su Xincai and Carol were also attracted by the aroma and sat at the dining table early to wait for the meal.

"Is it tasty?"

Xu Mo looked at Su Xincai who had just put a piece of duck blood into her mouth and asked.

"Hmph~ It's just so-so."

Su Xincai blushed, slightly avoiding Xu Mo's sight, and answered casually. Seeing Su Xincai's standard blush, Xu Mo knew that his new duck blood vermicelli soup was still good.

The three of them quickly finished all the food on the table. Su Xincai, who usually ate very little, drank half a bowl of soup. As for Carol, she finished most of the food on the table. It was normal for a Lolita with full combat power to eat a little more.

Today, because Su Xincai was still there, Xu Mo did not take a nap with Carol. He just lay in the bedroom for half an hour and could not feel sleepy. So Xu Mo sent a message to Fu Xiaohua, saying that he was going to find her now.

----------------

After Xu Mo took the elevator to his floor, he turned left after exiting the elevator and arrived at the door of Fu Xiaohua's rental house. Xu Mo gently pressed the doorbell and waited for the other party to open the door.

"Hello, what can I do for you..."

"Ah, why is it you?"

Xu Mo raised his head and moved his sight from the phone to the front. He saw Xia Wanning, who had messy hair and was dressed in very rustic and conservative clothes. Her big eyes, which usually blinked, were now full of dark circles, and Xia Wanning's mental state was not very good.

"Hello~ I'm here to look for Xiao Hua, please make way."

Xu Mo greeted him politely, and then motioned for him to let him in. Xia Wanning first looked inside the house, and after finding that there was no movement, she walked out of the door frame, and then pushed gently, half-closing the door.

"What are you doing here now? Are you going to attack Xiao Hua so soon?"

At this moment, Xia Wanning was like a hen protecting her chicks. Although there was a huge gap between them, she still bravely faced the predator Xu Mo.

"What are you thinking? We have an appointment to purchase supplies for the company this afternoon."

"Do you think I will believe you? You must want to ask Xiao Hua out, then have dinner and drinks alone, and finally take Xiao Hua back to be a ???. Isn't this what you men think all the time when you see beautiful girls? You can fool Xiao Hua, but you can't fool me. I am an illustrator of male-oriented books who is well versed in men's human nature."

Xia Wanning stared at Xu Mo with a slight sneer, as if she wanted to appreciate Xu Mo's explanation in a clumsy tone.

"So, you made a man buy your 30,000 yuan book with just three sentences?"

"What do you mean?"

Seeing that Xia Wanning didn't understand the joke, Xu Mo could only shake his head in disappointment, saying it was nothing. Then Xu Mo stretched out his hands and pushed Xia Wanning against the wall, and kept approaching Xia Wanning.

From Xia Wanning's perspective, Xu Mo's handsome face kept getting bigger and bigger. Although her heartbeat was getting faster and faster and her snow-white neck was gradually covered with red, Xia Wanning still looked at Xu Mo with a cold expression.

Seeing that Xia Wanning didn't react at all, Xu Mo quietly distanced himself from her, then raised his phone to show her the contents.

"This is..."

"Why are you letting me see this?"

The painting displayed on Xu Mo's phone screen was her latest work, which was inspired by her last "adventure". Now that Xu Mo took it out, she was naturally a little embarrassed.

"Unfortunately, I just read your work, Mr. Xia. If I remember correctly, the plot seems a little familiar."

What Xu Mo was referring to was, of course, a setting in this latest book, which was a pair of underwear that could be turned into a Band-Aid. Then the male and female protagonists used this treasure to constantly try various exciting sex acts. For example, riding a carousel together, doing it in the corner of the school playground, and in front of their bestie and boyfriend.

In short, after Xu Mo finished appreciating the book, he severely criticized the behavior of the male and female protagonists in the book for moral reasons. It is strictly forbidden to do it in public. It is too immoral.

"Really? Isn't this kind of plot very common? If you feel it's familiar, then you must have seen it somewhere else in other works."

Xia Wanning's tone softened unconsciously, and her originally serious expression began to look awkward. After all, no normal person would use the embarrassing things they experienced personally as references in a book.

"Speaking of what I saw, yesterday..."

"Xu Mo, don't mention yesterday! I'll let you in, okay?"

Finally, Xia Wanning gave in. This incident has become a black spot in Xia Wanning's life, and Xu Mo has mastered it. She can no longer protect her sister's innocence.

“I can’t do anything…”

Xia Wanning muttered to herself with a dazed look on her face, and followed Xu Mo stiffly into the living room. Coincidentally, she ran into Fu Xiaohua who came out of the bedroom.

"Xu Mo? You're here."

"Huh? Ningning, why do you look so distraught?"

It was only when Xu Mo heard what Fu Xiaohua said that he noticed Xia Wanning behind him.

"Yes, it wasn't very far, so it didn't take long. As for Senior Wan Ning, it should be that her relatives came."

"What nonsense! There is still a week left."

Xia Wanning suddenly raised her head and said coldly.

"So you two know each other!"

Fu Xiaohua was very surprised that her best friend actually knew Xu Mo, and it seemed like they were quite familiar with each other.

"I am Senior Wan Ning's junior."

"I am the senior of junior Xu Mo."

Looking at the two people's identical explanations, Fu Xiaohua suspected that the two were siblings.

After the three of them sat down, Xia Wanning briefly explained that she and Xu Mo knew each other because they both joined the school's comic research club.

"Oh~ So the unique junior student you mentioned is Xu Mo!"

Chapter 113 Good Girlfriends, Sharing

"Oh? What did Senior Wan Ning say? I'm very easy to ride."

After listening to Fu Xiaohua's words today, Xu Mo realized that Xia Wanning had noticed him a long time ago. Xu Mo wanted to hear what Xia Wanning meant by her comment that he had "personality".

"Nothing, Xiaohua, you are not allowed to tell me."

Xia Wanning stopped the conversation before Fu Xiaohua could finish. Xia Wanning's attitude made Fu Xiaohua confused. How could her best friend who was usually cheerful and outgoing be so rude to Xu Mo now? After a little thought, Fu Xiaohua thought that there might be some grudge between the two of them.

"Okay, I won't ask."

Xu Mo made a smooth talk to avoid an awkward atmosphere. He could ask this question later when he was alone with Fu Xiaohua. Could it be that if he went out with Fu Xiaohua, could Xia Wanning follow them?

"Xiao Hua, thank you for your hard work these past few days."

Fu Xiaohua has basically purchased all the commonly used items in the past few days. Xu Mo knows that Fu Xiaohua has recently started writing his graduation thesis. The tutor has already assigned a topic, and he will basically write a proposal report within the next two weeks. Not to mention that as a music fanatic, he needs to spend a lot of time practicing songs every day.

"It's okay, I just bought it while I was out shopping."

Fu Xiaohua narrowed her eyes slightly, her red pupils looked a little coquettish. Her raised mouth corners told Xu Mo that she was very happy.

Xia Wanning, who was standing by, first looked at Xu Mo, then at Fu Xiaohua, and then her eyes kept moving back and forth between the two. She felt like she was about to get goose bumps all over her body. Although she liked to draw pure love couples, it didn't mean she wanted to be fed dog food in reality. Especially since Xu Mo was a "scumbag".

"For the afternoon, we just need to buy some more mats from the dance studio and some fascia guns for relaxing muscles, and that should be all we need."

Xu Mo recalled the previous shopping list. Apart from the items Fu Xiaohua bought a few days ago, there were only these two small items left. At the beginning of operation, it would definitely not be particularly well prepared. It would be enough to meet basic needs. If there is anything special later, we can go out and buy them together.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Fu Xiaohua had little interest in anything other than singing. It was tiring to be able to take the initiative to help Xu Mo do so many things. Next, she just wanted to be a weird and obedient "good employee" who would do whatever the boss asked her to do.

"Are you going out to buy something later?"
