Li Mo had four question marks appearing above his head. The classmates and parents around him all had chairs, so why was there none here for Kiana?

"Uh... hehe, you'll know later. Just say you're my distant cousin, ha, that's what I told the teacher."

Kiana scratched the back of her head embarrassedly and smiled stiffly.

Li Mo suddenly had a bad feeling.

Suddenly, the middle-aged woman on the podium, like a landlady, read out each word in a clear and melodious voice... No, she shouted:

"Kiana Kaslana! During her time at school, she repeatedly broke into a girls' dormitory at noon and slept on Mei Raiden's bed. She entered the chemistry lab to take 50 experimental quantities of sodium, causing an explosion in the women's restroom. She repeatedly slept in class, played with her phone, read comics, and ate snacks. During evening study, she entered the music classroom to eat hot pot, causing an accident and causing the power to go out next door. During recess, she entered the broadcasting room and changed the background music to "Mommy, Where Are We Going?" She set off fireworks downstairs in the teaching building and used three fire extinguishers in a row to try to put out the fire. During breakfast, she took food from the cafeteria, including bowls and chopsticks, away, causing a shortage of bowls and chopsticks at some windows. She repeatedly jumped from the second floor during recess, enticing classmates to follow suit, resulting in students suffering leg fractures, students suffering minor injuries, and three students being hospitalized for observation... She has repeatedly violated school rules and regulations! She has seriously violated school rules and regulations!"

"In order to enforce school rules and regulations, educate the student, and serve as a warning to others, he was punished according to the Qianyu College Student Code of Conduct. However, given his positive attitude in admitting his mistakes, the teachers and leadership have discussed and decided to cancel the punishment."

"Give Kiana Kaslana a reprimand during morning exercises next Monday, which will be announced to the entire school."

"In addition, there will be no chairs allowed during the entire parent-teacher conference. Standing is mandatory, and all parents will be punished together!"

The teacher's voice is very loud, sonorous and powerful, and every word is heart-piercing!

Even Li Mo, who prided himself on being thick-skinned, was embarrassed. Standing in the corner was not unfair at all. Li Mo even felt that the punishment was too light.

If he had done these things in the past, he would have been thankful that he was not fired and that his ancestors' graves would be filled with smoke.

Kiana simply reported the criticism, but the people behind it must be very worried.

"Parents, come forward and take the penalty ticket!"

Li Mo held his forehead, a strong sense of shame surged in his heart, but who told her that she was the ultimate invincible and super cute Kiana in the universe?

Forgive, you must forgive!

I will bear all the sins and evil consequences!

Li Mo recited the middle school lines in his mind, endured the humiliation and walked up to the podium, and took the penalty ticket under the teacher's murderous gaze.

Returning to her seat, Kiana still looked absent-minded and indifferent.

"Thank you so much for this time. By the way, don't tell Mei! Otherwise I will bite you hard!" Kiana threatened.

"Don't worry, I will do whatever you ask for." Li Mo looked at Kiana gently, his smile like a fire butterfly that had not yet burned out.

After the parent-teacher meeting, Hua escorted Mei home according to Li Mo's instructions.

Li Mo escorted Kiana home.

But, a small accident happened.

"Oh, I told you not to follow me. I'm not a child... Wait, you're not planning anything bad on me, trying to find my temporary rental house and sneak in while I'm at school!"

Kiana protected her chest with her hands, took a few steps back, and stared at Li Mo vigilantly.

Rental house...

Li Mo was a little dazed, but he quickly reacted.

That was not his and her home, but just a temporary residence for Kiana to stay.

"No, I just want to check in and see how you're doing..."

"What does it have to do with you? I don't want a strange boy to enter my room."

"I can help you clean up the trash in the house."

"Well……"

Kiana looked hesitant.

"no!"

"I can cook you a meal that's better than what Mei Raiden cooks."

"Well……"

Kiana's face still looked hesitant, and the hesitation lasted longer than before.

"No, no matter what you say... This is my bottom line!"

Kiana was very determined.

There was no other way, Li Mo had to use his trump card.

"I can tell you where Siegfried is."

"!?"

Kiana stood there in a daze, her eyes sharpened, and her body posture adjusted to be ready for battle at any time.

This guy knows his father, and he must also know about Honkai and Destiny. He's not an ordinary person. However, I can't sense any Honkai energy fluctuations from him at all...

Is it a secret weapon developed by Tianming that conceals the Honkai energy?

Enemy or friend?

"Hmph, you can't go back on your word. But I'm hungry now, so go to the school gate and buy me a sweet potato."

Kiana thought of a reason to get Li Mo away. She needed to think calmly.

"Okay." Li Mo agreed decisively and immediately turned around and ran towards the gate of Qianyu College.

At this moment, Kiana was lost in thought and could not come up with an answer.

"Who is he, and why does he want to enter my room so badly? He even wants to expose his identity. Is there anything in my room that he cares about?"

"Hmm... This guy is Mei's savior. Do I think too badly of him?"

"No, no, we can't trust strangers so easily. Let's send a message to Meiyi and ask him about his background."

Kiana turned on her phone and chatted with Mei, asking directly for all the information about Li Mo.

When she came to her senses, she found that Li Mo was already standing behind her. Kiana hid her phone behind her reflexively.

"You, you, you, when did you come back? Where's the sweet potato? Did you forget?"

Kiana hurriedly came up with a poor excuse to try to get away with it.

Li Mo stretched out his burned red hands, with two sweet potatoes on them.

"Here, it's still hot."

Kiana was stunned and dazed for a long time. She looked up in disbelief and asked, "Are you... an idiot? Why are you holding the roasted sweet potato with your hands?"

Not to mention normal people, even she herself could not stand the burning sensation of the freshly baked sweet potatoes in her palms. It was just like pouring boiling water on her hands.

"I forgot." Li Mo responded blankly.

"You... Humph, I've never seen such a dumb idiot as you. Mei said I was the dumbest person in the world, but there are people who are even dumber!" Kiana quickly took away a roasted sweet potato. It was still very hot and she couldn't hold it at all. She could only hold it in her arm to let her clothes block most of the heat.

"Why are you standing there? Your hands are already burned red, why don't you learn from me, idiot!" Kiana said coquettishly.

But what Li Mo said next made her freeze for a long time.

"The other one is yours too."

The autumn wind is cool, blowing on the thin body, like a scraper, scraping off the hard shell layer by layer, revealing the soft heart.

Li Mo is not stupid. He is adept at dealing with the strange world and does not miss any seemingly insignificant details. Analysis, judgment, synthesis, decision-making... Li Mo can complete them all without any mistakes.

But buying a sweet potato left him with scars. The palms of his hands were covered with blisters, and the red color even spread to the back of his hands, wrists, and even to the back of his arms.

It's not that he didn't feel the pain. When he thought about making Kiana happy, eating, burping, and then smiling at him innocently like before, Li Mo forgot everything.

Forgot your purpose, forgotten your promise, forgotten your mission.

All he knew was to give the sweet potato in his hand to Kiana, and then watch Kiana smile happily.

Perhaps I came into this world just for this moment.

Live just for these few moments.

"you……"

Kiana pursed her lips, unable to think of any words to scold her for a moment.

Well……

it hurts...

Kiana couldn't help but cover her chest with her right atrium. Her heartbeat was clear and disordered, like a rolling stone falling from the top of a mountain, becoming more and more rapid, and her heart was in a mess.

The intense pain after the high temperature burn seemed to appear in her hands.

Ah Mo...

Kiana stretched out her hands with trembling hands, took the sweet potato from Li Mo's other hand, and turned around.

The back figure is like falling flowers in the rain, swaying constantly.

"Next time...don't do this..."

Kiana's tone suddenly became gentle, and she puffed out her pink cheeks, looking as angry as a pufferfish.

I feel very strange. I don't want to be angry, but I can't find any reason to be angry.

But why...

So sad……

Kiana lost her appetite, hugged two sweet potatoes, and bit her lips tightly with her teeth. A few drops of bright red blood still seeped out from the bite marks.

After returning to the rental house, Li Mo felt as if he was in another world. He looked around blankly, then sat there motionless, as if he was distracted.

Kiana took out the medical kit that hadn't been opened for a long time, took out alcohol and bandages, cleaned Li Mo's wound, and then bandaged it...

Like a long, long time.

It had been so long that she was no longer the Kiana she once was, and he was no longer the Li Mo he once was. But instinct still pulled the two back to where their dream began.

just like--

Everything is back to the way it was before.

④ Xi·Bright red white rose

At 00:00 in the morning, Li Mo took a deep breath, his expression showing both happiness and fear.

Thinking about the delicious dinner I made for Kiana not long ago and how it was all eaten up, I couldn't hide the joy on my face from the inside out.

But compared to this incident, going home at this time is the biggest test for Li Mo.

"Mei should be asleep at this hour..."

There is no habit of staying up late at home. Logically, it was the next day and everyone should have gone to bed, but Li Mo's left eyelid kept twitching, as if foreshadowing something bad was going to happen.

"Eavesdrop..."

Li Mo stealthily put his ear to the door and listened patiently for several minutes. Except for the sound of air flowing lingering in his ears, there was no other sound inside.

It's been a few minutes. If someone was still awake, there would be footsteps or the sound of TV or computer running. But I heard nothing, so everyone must have fallen asleep.

Thinking of this, Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door quietly.

But the moment the door opened, Li Mo was dumbfounded.

"You're back so early. I thought you weren't going to come back."

Mei's tone was flat, and her face, as calm as water, showed no emotion, just like the calm sea.

"I……"

"Go inside first."

Without waiting for Li Mo to explain, Mei turned on the lights in the living room without hesitation. In an instant, bright orange-yellow light illuminated the entire room.

There was no one else in the living room, and the bedroom doors were all closed except for Li Mo and Mei's.

A question suddenly popped up in Li Mo's mind.

How long had she been waiting for him in the dark?

Li Mo didn't dare to ask, but just followed Mei until he sat on the sofa, like a minor who came home late and was looked at with a kind look by his parents.

"Next time you come home late, remember to explain the situation to me in advance," Mei said.

"There's no need to be so cautious in the Eigenworld. I'm just going out for dinner with friends tonight. If anything goes wrong, I'll contact you immediately."

Faced with Li Mo's explanation, Mei remained silent for a while, her lips moving. She wanted to say something several times, but the words were stuck in her throat and she swallowed them back.
