I really like your sand sculpture group friends

“Yes, my sister is only a few minutes older than me.” Su Mengyao nodded affirmatively.

Bai Shishi seems to be gradually getting used to it, and she can now hold Su Mengyao's hand directly.

"Hello, Sister Mengyao, I'm Bai Shishi."

Ah, I finally got to experience what it's like to be a big sister.

Su Mengyao felt so happy she almost fainted. She nodded vigorously and asked, "Can I call you 'little sister' from now on? Can I hug you?"

Upon hearing Su Mengyao's words, Bai Shishi quickly hid behind him, clutching his clothes as if this would give her a sense of security.

Then a small head peeked out, revealing a forced smile, and stiffly shook its head.

"No...you can't."

Su Mengyao wasn't disappointed. To her, seeing Bai Bai was a joy, and hearing Mengyao's voice was an even greater surprise.

There's plenty of time, let's take it slow.

"Sorry, but shall I still call you Shishi, little sister?"

"Mm." Bai Shishi, who was behind him, nodded gently.

Su Mengyao returned to her seat with a satisfied and happy smile.

Mo Xiangwen sighed inwardly. He had just wanted to see if he could be called "brother." Unfortunately, seeing Bai Shishi's expression, that was no longer an option.

He knew it was a bit much, but the temptation of being called "brother" by a beautiful girl was really strong.

No rush, no rush, we'll talk about it later. It would be even better if I could hear from my seniors again.

Bai Shishi breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Su Mengyao return to her seat, and then came out herself.

Suddenly, Mo Xiangwen felt his phone vibrating repeatedly. He took it out and saw that it was a message from the dormitory group chat.

Alarm clock: Dude, don't blame me for not reminding you, hurry up and get off.

Alarm clock: Yan is on the first floor, I think I've spotted you.

Xi Shao: Yan's expression was a bit dark. Just passing by her made me feel a chill.

Xi Shao: The three of us initially thought she was just in a bad mood because of her period, but who knew that as soon as we went upstairs we would see you chatting with a few pretty girls.

Alarm clock: It would be a miracle if I were in a good mood.

Alarm clock: Anyway, with such a big scene, let's not just watch, let's get some fresh food first.

Xi Shao: Bro, even if you're a player, you need to be careful.

Qin Shao: If all else fails, send me a message, and I'll call you and get you out of here.

Mo Xiangwen shook his head, both amused and exasperated, and sent a message.

Old Mo: Alright, it's not what you're thinking. Anyway, I understand, thank you. I'll treat you to something later.

No rush, there's another surprise in store. Everything is proceeding smoothly according to his plan.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Lies Full of Loopholes

Yipin Tea House, Second Floor

"When did you contact Bai Bai privately?"

Su Mengyao glanced at Bai Shishi, who was quietly standing next to him, and then looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"We didn't notice a thing beforehand?"

"It's less about good secrecy and more about coincidence."

Mo Xiangwen recalled that he had initially refused the commission, but it was thanks to Yan Nuoya that he accepted it.

He shook his head with a wry smile: "I only found out recently. Bai Shishi contacted me first, saying she wanted to come to H University to find us."

As for the specific reason why Bai Shishi came, it was a personal family matter, and he couldn't speak on her behalf.

“No wonder you brought an UNO.” Su Mengli nodded and glanced around at the surrounding tables. “But if there are four of you, you might have to find another table.”

As soon as Su Mengli finished speaking, he clapped his hands, as if he had remembered something.

"Oh, right, I have something to do, so I might have to leave for a little while."

"Huh? Is something wrong? At a time like this?"

"Yes, it'll only be a little while, I'll be right back."

Su Mengli frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.

"Since it's something that has to be dealt with at this time, then you go ahead. We'll take care of Shishi."

Mo Xiangwen looked down at Bai Shishi beside him and smiled at her.

"So, Shishi, can you chat with President Xiao Huo for a while first?"

Bai Shishi glanced around timidly, looking somewhat hesitant, but still nodded.

Mo Xiangwen looked back and noticed that many students were glancing in their direction from time to time.

There was nothing they could do; all three of them were simply too eye-catching.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why don't you come down with me, Shishi?"

Bai Shishi nodded hurriedly, like a chick pecking at rice, afraid that he would leave if she agreed any later.

"Alright, then I'll take Shishi away for a little while longer." Mo Xiangwen shook his head with a wry smile: "Then I'll trouble Mengli and Mengyao to wait a little longer."

Su Mengyao didn't seem to care much and nodded indifferently.

"Then come back quickly."

Mo Xiangwen nodded, turned around and went downstairs.

Bai Shishi secretly tugged at his sleeve, following closely behind him.

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

There is no way to continue like this.

Although she did have her reasons for hiding her identity, those reasons weren't really convincing.

Moreover, she didn't really want to say that she wanted to observe the group members more closely.

Wouldn't that make her seem like she doesn't trust anyone?

...Okay, even if it's true, it's not a reason to say it in front of the person in question.

That's strange. He's clearly not the same kind of person as me, is he?

Yan Nuoya sat in the chair, gently turning the plastic cup in her hand, watching the ice cubes rolling in the empty cup, and couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.

What should we do? If we don't come up with a solution soon, the situation will only get worse.

If all else fails, I'll just have to bite the bullet and explain it; if today passes, it will only become more difficult to explain.

Yan Nuoya stood up, just in time to see him leading Bai Shishi downstairs.

"Getting impatient?" Mo Xiangwen winked at her and teased, "Want to come up with me?"

"...It's up to you now."

Yan Nuoya pursed her lips; now she knew what the other party wanted to do.

I will apologize to you properly after the party ends.

Mo Xiangwen nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

In his view, there was actually no need for an apology.

To be honest, Yan Nuoya hadn't done anything too outrageous to him.

Even though she had been hiding her identity for so long, she had only teased him a couple of times during this period.

However, if she wants to apologize, then she should apologize. If she isn't allowed to apologize, she'll probably feel a little uneasy.

Bai Shishi glanced at him and Yan Nuoya curiously and asked, "Didn't you have something to do?"

"Okay, the job's done. We can go back now."

"Huh? Okay."

Bai Shishi looked a little confused, but she still nodded obediently, turned around and led the way upstairs.

Mo Xiangwen carefully followed behind her and went up as well.

Yan Nuoya quickly jogged a step and caught up with him.

He suddenly slowed down, creating some distance between himself and Bai Shishi, which allowed Yan Nuoya to catch up with him.

"Don't worry, I've checked it out for you," Mo Xiangwen said softly. "You'll get along well."

"Mm." Yan Nuoya extended a finger and gently pushed his back, nodding: "I believe you."

When he brought Yan Nuoya over, Su Mengyao and Su Mengli looked at him strangely, wondering what he was up to now.

Surely she's not someone in the group too? The thought flashed through Su Mengli's mind, but she quickly dismissed it.

After all, this wasn't the first time she had met this girl, and she was Mo Xiangwen's classmate.

We've been chatting in the group for so long; if we were really group members, we should have met in person by now.

But Mo Xiangwen just denied that she and Bai Shishi were related. Why would he suddenly bring her over? Is it just to make up the number of people so that they can play board games?

Mo Xiangwen glanced at the group of people in the room, each with their own thoughts, and coughed lightly to bring them back to their senses.

"How about this, Noah, why don't you introduce yourself first?"

Since Mo Xiangwen said he had already checked it out for her and brought her up, there's no need to worry so much.

Unlike Bai Bai, she wasn't stage-frightened.

It's not that she can't do it; she just simply doesn't want to.

Yan Nuoya looked at the other three and slowly said, "My name is Yan Nuoya."

For her, every unfamiliar person is full of unknowns.

She needed to see the full picture of this unknown world before she was willing to take the first step.

It sounds silly, and it really is.

If everyone had to understand this, it would be such a painstaking and laborious task.

So, as long as I know him and them, that's enough.

Although he hasn't quite figured out what kind of people they are yet, he's already said that "we'll get along well."

Then she might as well lower her guard a little and give it a try.

At least she had some idea what kind of person he was.

Believing in him is not much different from believing in yourself.

Yan Nuoya's voice carried a hint of apology: "I'm the 'pigeon' in the group. I'm sorry for revealing my identity to everyone so late."

"Eh?!" Su Mengyao and Bai Shishi exclaimed in disbelief.

Su Mengli only opened her mouth slightly before immediately returning to her normal demeanor.

"Then why didn't you greet me and my sister at the store a couple of days ago?" Su Mengyao frowned and asked curiously, "I even told Xiang Wen to call you over to sit and chat, but you didn't come."

"You didn't tell me you were a pigeon just now." Bai Shishi's little face showed a hint of grievance.

Yan Nuoya could only look at the two of them with an apologetic expression and remain silent.

"Ahem, this is my fault." Mo Xiangwen interrupted the two's questions, cleared his throat, and said, "Originally, I was thinking of discussing with her to give Mengli and Mengyao a surprise together."

"Later, I found out that Bai Bai was coming, so I decided to wait a little longer."

"We'll give you a surprise when Bai Bai arrives."

A lie riddled with holes.

Su Mengli looked at him silently, wondering what he was thinking.

Mo Xiangwen noticed Su Mengli's gaze and could only wink at her, giving her a meaningful look.

For adults, it doesn't matter whether a lie is flawless; what matters is that things look good on the surface and that no one is embarrassed.
