"bribe..."

Oh, what a treacherous bribe.

Chapter 133 Being scolded by Li Qingran

"So... Xixi has to help you hide these things well, right?"

"Hmm, Qingran gave you a small room, right? Just put it in your room, and bring it to school for me the day before my coming-of-age ceremony."

"it is good..."

Shen Yanxi took the shopping bag, and her slender waist suddenly felt a weight; it was heavier than she had imagined.

"A bit heavy? Oh right... there are some things I need to take out..."

Seeing Lin Mo take out a few more small items from the shopping bag—items that girls would like—the bag was a bit light.

For some reason, Shen Yanxi's gaze followed Lin Mo's hand movements, as if he were hiding some treasure.

If I just take it out in front of her, will she get a share too?

Shen Yanxi thought greedily.

"what happened?"

"Oh...it's nothing~" Shen Yanxi gave a somewhat awkward chuckle and turned her head away.

But the deflated Pikachu on his chest, and the lingering gaze at the corner of his eye narrowing into a line, still held a fondness for the small gift he was sorting through in his hands...

The scarf has a cute embroidered pattern, lilies? Hmm, that's Ya-Jie's favorite flower. I don't know if it's a high-end brand, but the tag looks expensive... Is it because it's winter that I'm giving her a scarf?

Those high heels, who are they for? Bright red, they must be for Jiang Wanfeng, right? They suit her perfectly...

And also, headdresses!

Hmm, these... cat ears? Or fox ears? Who would like to wear these kinds of animal headbands...?

Is Qingran the only one left? After all, Yu'en's situation is rather strange and special...

To be honest, Xixi really likes small animals. Wearing it on her head would be so cute; she could even meow!

Of course, that's if...

"Okay, that's it."

"I'll take these. Please keep the rest safe and don't let Qingran see them."

"Shen Yanxi?"

"Huh? Oh, okay... Xixi understands, I'll take care of this little thing."

Shen Yanxi puffed out her chest proudly, but the Pikachu on her chest still looked pitiful, showing no signs of survival, remaining wrinkled and far from rounded.

Is she malnourished? I feel like she's being compared to Jiebao, but Jiebao is much smaller.

"It's such a small thing, and you went out of your way to buy me a gift... Honestly, it makes Xixi think you're planning something else..."

Shen Yanxi pursed her lips, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, and patted his shoulder as if she didn't care much.

"Hey~ Du, Du, even though Xixi looks down on you, I'll still help you with small things."

"No need to go out of your way to buy it."

"You bought it on the spur of the moment, you just accidentally bought too much."

"..."

Liar! I accidentally bought too much, and you even bought it according to someone's preferences... Little dresses, even I, Xixi, have dreamed of being pampered like a princess by the person I love...

However, he seems to be just like that, a habitual gentle offender; his casual words and actions so naturally touch a girl's heart...

What a jerk...

No matter how many times I tell you, it's no use, she's still the same, a heartbreaker...

"Hmph~ Who cares about you?"

shameless.

Shen Yanxi clapped her hands, picked up the shopping bag (which had been lightly padded), and walked upstairs before Lin Mo.

"..."

Lin Mo watched her retreating figure, carrying a large bag and swaying unsteadily in the dark stairwell, seemingly all alone.

"Turn on the lights!" the girl yelled.

Oh, the motion-activated light in the hallway isn't on.

"Little lamp, turn it on quickly!"

"You stinky light bulb! Xixi said to turn on the light soon!" Shen Yanxi stomped her foot angrily on the floor, and with a "fierce" expression on her cute face, she finally woke up the motion-activated light.

"Yay! Xixi wins~"

She's a girl who can entertain herself anytime, anywhere.

Only those accustomed to solitude are adept at entertaining themselves, including Ran Bao. When she's bored, she can spend an entire day playing QQ Farm, planting and watering vegetables...

As for Jiang Wanfeng, his way of entertaining himself is somewhat bizarre.

When Lin Mo is alone... he's never idle. He's either thinking about how to fill his stomach or how to fight Old Deng for the trash.

Speaking of garbage...

Lin Mo glanced at a dilapidated old bicycle parked in the yard. Not only were the tires punctured, but the chain was broken, and it creaked and groaned as if it were about to fall apart.

This bicycle, which was accidentally damaged beyond repair, was practically a piece of trash. Shen Yanxi probably spent quite a bit of time moving it from the back gate of the school.

The bike was fairly clean, with a tattered rag draped over the handlebars, indicating that she took great care of it.

That makes sense, though. A little girl riding hundreds of kilometers along rural roads, through wind and rain, should have some feelings for the place.

The car repair would cost a couple hundred yuan, and Shen Yanxi had been focusing on her studies these days, so she probably didn't have the nerve to borrow money from Li Qingran again.

I'll fix it for her when I have time...

Go upstairs and wait for Ranbao to take a bath.

Li Qingran has always been very meticulous about bathing; she has a certain degree of obsessive-compulsive disorder when it comes to cleanliness and has been very concerned about cleaning her body since she was a child.

When Ranbao was little, she cried for a long time because the orphanage had no water and she couldn't take a bath. She had to put two lollipops in her mouth to calm down.

Whether something is clean or not is one of the few things that can affect her mood.

This is why she was particularly disgusted by Lin Mo's attitude towards her feet.

Just then, Li Qingran emerged from the bathroom, steaming with heat.

Her hair was still damp, and she had put on her pajamas, but she liked not to dry them completely, letting her slightly damp skin cling to the fabric, subtly highlighting the beauty of her figure.

The expressionless girl, her rosy cheeks exuding a cool and aloof air, couldn't help but shiver when she came face-to-face with the cold air outside.

Looking down, Ran Bao hadn't had time to put on her pants yet, leaving her legs looking bare. Her long, slender, and delicate legs twitched slightly, turning inwards.

The puppy shook off the water, and she shivered, shaking off a few drops. The sound of dripping water came from above, evoking all sorts of thoughts.

"Ah..." Her delicate nose twitched slightly as she sneezed, a sneeze that was both unexpectedly cute and contrary to her image. Her face flushed instantly from the sneeze.

"Are you cold? Why don't you wrap yourself in a towel first..." Lin Mo approached.

"Lin Mo, you're back very early." Li Qingran didn't answer the question about whether she was cold or not.

"I just missed you."

"Yes, Qingran misses you too, but Lin Mo, it would be better if you didn't look down when you talk to Qingran."

Li Qingran's eyes were deep and unfathomable, and she curled up her toes as if in fear.

"Then, the bathwater was poured out, leaving you nothing to drink."

That's a bit bizarre.

"..."

"Ranbao, how did you figure out what I was thinking?"

"I was just guessing, but now I'm sure. Lin Mo really does drink my bathwater."

"No...it's still in the theoretical stage."

"Well, I'm sorry, there won't be a chance to practice."

Lin Mo was speechless. Ran Bao had been speaking with a bit of anger lately, but that made sense. Knowing everything, she was under just as much psychological pressure as Lin Mo.

As the girl walked past him, the sound of her feet splashing in the water was truly captivating.

After taking a few steps, Li Qingran seemed to remember something, and turned back with a frown, saying:

"Besides bath water, foot bath water is also not allowed."

"Ranbao, you used to always let me have my way with you..." Lin Mo said, feigning disappointment.

"At that time, Qingran didn't understand Lin Mo's thoughts, so it doesn't count."

When her past controversies were brought up, Li Qingran, already flushed pink after her bath, had an even greater advantage.

"Moreover, Qingran has always felt very embarrassed, it's just that Qingran was a bit slow in the past."

"Lin Mo, do you want to go back to the way things were before?"

Li Qingran looked at him and said seriously,

"Qingran also wants to go back."

"If we could go back, Qingran would definitely, definitely not let Lin Mo become someone else's Lin Mo again."

"..."

"In that case, Qingran can continue to be a fool."

These words made Lin Mo feel ashamed.

"Doesn't Lin Mo like Qing Ran now?"

"I like her very much, and that has never changed," Lin Mo said, staring intently at her.

"Yes, me too." She replied simply, without playing any more tricks with her words.

"I love you very much, and that has never changed."

The most understated tone conveyed a love that was as powerful as a rainbow.

"Want me to blow-dry your hair?" Lin Mo picked up the hairdryer he had prepared beforehand.

"I was hoping the wind would dry it," she said coldly, her voice trembling. The wind was unexpectedly cold.

"You'll catch a cold like that." Lin Mo quickly closed the window.

The girl's shoulders, which had been hunched over from the cold, relaxed.

"Since Lin Mo is here, there's no need for that."

"Sit on my lap and let me dry your hair?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingran narrowed her eyes, cautiously observing Lin Mo's physical changes.

"No, Qingran can just stand and blow it."

Lin Mo didn't mind, and gently ruffled her hair, which still felt nice to the touch even when wet.

"Ranbao...were you thinking about something terrible just now?"

"Only Lin Mo is bad," Li Qingran snorted.

"Uh?"

"It will dig into my lower back and is very uncomfortable." She said something that a normal person could understand.

Lin Mo noticed that her earlobes had turned even redder.

"That's all your fault," Lin Mo retorted.

"Lin Mo's self-control... is indeed very poor, otherwise Qing Ran wouldn't have so many friends."
