"Why don't you speak?"
The echo from the phone continued, but she couldn't hear anything; a sharp ringing filled her ears, and her mind went blank...
She glanced at the empty space outside the corridor; the ground seemed so close yet so far away, as if if she could simply climb over the railing, she could finally stand firmly on solid ground and reach the freedom she longed for...
A group of people had unknowingly gathered around her, saying the same things she had heard countless times...
"Senior, some of my classmates also want to see you. It's so great that you're still here. Can we take a few more photos?"
"Oh dear, they definitely won't refuse!"
"Yes, my senior is known for being gentle and kind..."
Without waiting for her consent, the group shoved their cameras right in front of her face...
It resembled the muzzle of a cannon, so dark and unseen that she couldn't see it clearly...
simply...
"Bring it here."
Suddenly, her hand went empty; her phone had been snatched away. A familiar scent filled her ear canal, and she was pulled back by someone.
"Get lost, all of you! What the hell are you taking pictures of? You're taking pictures of other people and using them as online dating photos, have you no shame?!"
"You fucking bastard, get lost!"
"Who are you?! What are you doing?!" the girls cried out, flustered by their discovery that the truth had been revealed. How did this boy who suddenly appeared know them...?
"I bought this phone with money I got scammed out of through online dating, and I still have the nerve to play around with it here."
"If you don't leave, I'll call the teacher and we'll all be taken away!"
"Let's go, what nonsense are you talking about..." The girls immediately panicked and quickly slipped away...
A mess was left behind, and silence followed.
Hu Yu'en then realized it was him...
In an instant, his senses cleared, and he saw him holding his phone, clearing his throat.
"Hello, is this Hu Yu'en's parent? The school is strictly controlling cell phones now, and your daughter's phone has been confiscated. To retrieve it, please wait until the end of the semester..."
hang up.
Lin Mo silenced all the noise around her within a minute.
He resolved all the surrounding flattery and his mother's control with just a few words.
In a daze, it seemed like I had found some kind of anchor...
"Thanks..."
"Don't thank me. What were you looking at while leaning against the railing? Hmm? You really wanted to jump, didn't you?"
Hu Yu'en was speechless.
For a fleeting moment, it really did seem like jumping would be so easy...
Then came fear.
He knows everything.
"If you're going to be this unstable, you should break off your friendship with Jiang Wanfeng as soon as possible, transfer schools, and leave so as not to affect her."
"I..."
"I could have let it go by playing along with you before, thinking you were an idiot, but I didn't expect you to be such a fool."
Lin Mo took out several hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to her.
"This money is what I used from your meal card."
The girl was bewildered; the warmth that had just welled up in her heart turned completely cold, leaving her at a loss.
Lin Mo was also furious. He had originally wanted to take the beautiful Hu to the rooftop to talk things over, to wipe the slate clean, and tell her not to overthink it or keep looking so gloomy, otherwise Jiang Wanfeng would eventually figure out what was going on...
His starting point was Jiang Wanfeng, but after waiting on the rooftop for ages, all he got were a bunch of pop-up ads and bright red exclamation marks.
Biyang just wanted to jump off a building!
Why are there so many trivial things to worry about...?
You said you couldn't handle it, yet you still played so fancy games. I thought you were really good at it, but it turns out you just love playing the worst games the more bad you are.
This isn't just about her; Hu Yu'en is Jiang Wanfeng's only close friend over the years.
The two were practically inseparable; moving one would affect the whole situation.
Feng Bao has only recently entered the second stage and doesn't know what to do yet. Hu Yu'en has dropped a bombshell. How is he supposed to play?
Have fun!
"I'm sorry... I was just thinking about it, I won't do it..." After hesitating for a while, the girl blurted out these words.
"If you dare to be a blond guy, what else wouldn't you dare to do?" Lin Mo retorted.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Hu Yu'en trembled.
yes...
She both loathed her privileged life and was unwilling to break free from it. She protested against her family's control but dared not rebel. She pretended to be dignified and virtuous in public while secretly enjoying stealing her best friend's crush...
She's so fake... She's a fake person made up of hypocrisy.
But what should she do? She didn't know... She just didn't know, and that's why she lived such an awkward life.
What could she do? She could only continue to smile insincerely at everyone, unable to distinguish between their good intentions and bad intentions; she was merely a decorative vase and a source of moonlight...
Telling the most heartbreaking lie to your best friend, bearing devastating pressure for your closest family members.
So sad.
"I don't know what to do..." The usually cheerful girl had tears welling up in her eyes and slumped against the wall.
When the truth was fully revealed, a feeling of helplessness completely overwhelmed her.
At this moment, she remembered the stern-faced girl sitting beside Lin Mo, and the girl who had become radiant after being healed by Lin Mo...
Then I recalled how he had swiftly and efficiently resolved everything for me, just as naturally as he had returned the meal card yesterday...
A strange sense of security.
As if grasping at a straw, the girl looked at him, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Lin Mo, I know you're amazing, please help me..."
But before she could finish speaking, Hu Yu'en trembled at his sharp gaze, and the rest of her words caught in her throat.
He choked up.
I have no strength, no right, and no reason to beg for his help.
She knew how much trouble she was in, so why should she drag Lin Mo down with her? He belonged to Wan Feng... not hers...
How despicable.
How pathetic I am.
"I'm sorry, I'm sure I embarrassed you..."
"You knew too?" Lin Mo said coldly.
"......sorry."
"What's the use of saying sorry? What about the psychological trauma you caused me?"
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"
"Aren't you living a good life? What are you dissatisfied with?" Lin Mo questioned.
"So what if she's pretty and comes from a rich family, and has a strict upbringing and fewer friends?"
"I think you're just not miserable enough, you're just bored, you're just cheap. Starve you for a few days and you'll behave."
"I've been scavenging for so many years, I'm an orphan, and I haven't cried a lot, but you're acting all high and mighty."
Hu Yu'en hugged her knees, shrinking into a small figure like a fox with its tail between its legs, sobbing silently. Listening to Lin Mo's merciless words, her eyes were filled with grievance...
She had heard Wanfeng tell her story about Lin Mo... She heard that when her family found him, Lin Mo was fighting with an old man in a garbage dump...
If she had that experience...
"Crying, crocodile tears," Lin Mo sneered.
"I'm sorry!" Hu Yu'en tried to wipe away her tears, but she couldn't stop. She could only shout "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" loudly, hoping that this would lessen her weakness, guilt, and hypocrisy...
"But I'm so scared. Mom is so mean. Wanfeng is such a nice person, but I'm such a terrible person... I..."
"You finally told the truth, you fucking idiot." Lin Mo pulled a few crumpled tissues from his pocket and handed them to her. "Is it that hard to admit you're an idiot?"
"Your mother has a problem, and so do you."
"The tissue is wrinkled..."
"Use it or not, it's up to you! Even if Jiang Wanfeng, who hides in her crotch, wants it, I won't give it to her!"
She was yelled at again, and Hu Yu'en felt wronged once more. She buried her face in the wad of tissues, looking miserable, and muttered:
"I used it, I used it! I'm sorry..."
"You'll be fine after you've cried." Lin Mo sighed. Being a good person is really addictive; these girls truly see him as their savior...
"I'm out of tissues for you to wipe your tears. If you cry again and someone sees you, you'll have to deal with it yourself."
Upon hearing this, Hu Yu'en's tense body seemed to be refreshed by a gentle breeze...
He was actually helping himself see the truth... and protecting the last vestiges of his dignity...
"Can't you live at a school instead of commuting to school and being controlled by your mother?"
"You're only in your final year of high school, it's just a few months away. How much can your mom control you when you go to college? If all else fails, just marry some blond guy."
The girl's pretty face flushed red; she felt Lin Mo was hinting at something...
"But...my mom won't let me stay at the hotel..."
"Idiot." Lin Mo was speechless.
"sorry...."
"Please don't mention Kun, I'm so tired of hearing it."
"Oh..."
"After the exam, come with me to find the teacher. It's just a matter of finding a place to stay, what's so difficult about that?"
Hu Yu'en finally mustered the courage to look up and meet his gaze. Her timid eyes seemed poised to burst into tears at any moment. Her delicate nose wrinkled as she sobbed, her eyelashes trembled, and her tear-streaked face was breathtakingly beautiful...
"Really, really?"
Holy crap, she wants to be King Zhou of Shang! What a vixen!
Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief as the exclamation mark above the girl's head gradually faded.
Hu Yu'en is different from Chen Yajie and Li Qingran. She is spoiled and pampered, and has never been criticized by outsiders. She deserves to be scolded.
There are indeed problems, and they are not small, but Lin Mo is not here to amplify her psychological abnormality, but to limit her.
Let's give her something to look forward to for now, and not delve too deeply into her dark inner world.
Escape is shameful, but useful.
Lin Mo has too many debts on his hands. He just wants to be completely untouched this time, make a reasonable transition, and let Hu Yu'en settle down so as not to affect Jiang Wanfeng.
Otherwise, she'd be acting crazy, and when she got back she'd hug Fengbao and say, 'Oh, Fengfeng, actually, I'm already tired of your man~'
Holy crap, Jiang Wanfeng should just send him flying! Flying up and kicking!
"Really, just cooperate," Lin Mo said dismissively, about to turn around and go back to pick up Ran Jiang.
Advanced intelligence was activated immediately.
The girl actually longed for someone to genuinely praise her, just once—unadorned and sincere...
Hmm? Haven't you received enough praise, sis?
