Holding the sock in his hand, Wen Mo awkwardly put it back in the laundry basket. He had just been thinking of washing it for her.

"Also, how can you wear socks with a hole in them, especially since it's so cold?" Wen Mo returned to the main topic, closing the balcony door and sitting on the edge of the bed.

Xia Lian blinked and shook her head from side to side.

"Yes, you can still wear it."

“You can wear a pair of wool socks, and if they get torn, just buy another pair.” Wen Mo rubbed his forehead. His cousin’s attempt at saving money was completely pointless. “The weather will get even colder in a few days. Are you still going to wear socks with holes? Your toes will probably freeze off.”

Hearing Wen Mo's slightly frightening words, the girl seemed a little scared, especially when she heard the phrase "frozen toes".

The next second, Xia Lian nodded vigorously, no longer worrying about whether she could wear it.

"knew……"

"That's right, that's a good girl." Wen Mo's lips curled up slightly as he reached out and gently stroked her little head; the feel of her hand was as good as ever.

Tomorrow is the weekend, a rare day off. We can't just stay home and sleep all day; we have to take this girl out for a stroll once in a while.

While buying socks, you can also buy some other clothes. As the weather gets colder, you can just buy thick clothes at the mall.

"Let's go out tomorrow," Wen Mo said thoughtfully.

"Um?"

"Let's go out and buy some warm clothes, and I'll take you out for a nice meal while we're at it."

Wenmo clapped his hands, and that was it. The two of them didn't usually have many opportunities to go out and have fun.

We've known each other for two months now. The last time we went out was at the night market, and somehow we ended up at the police station.

"But the clothes in the mall are all very expensive..."

Xia Lian lowered her eyes and carefully tugged at Wen Mo's sleeve, her brows and eyes revealing a hint of frustration. Last time they went out to buy thin clothes, Wen Mo bought several pieces at once.

"Oh well, it's expensive, but even though we're not super rich, we still have enough money to buy clothes and socks."

He doesn't like buying things online because it's too much trouble. If the style isn't right, he has to return it; if the size isn't right, he has to return it. Occasionally, he finds a couple of things that fit, but he just makes do and is too lazy to return them.

Before you know it, several days have passed, and besides, who knows if the clothes online are of good quality?

Instead of wasting time online, it's much better to just go to the store and buy a couple of items, and even try them on on the spot.

"It's settled then. Let's go out together tomorrow."

Before she could agree, Wen Mo made the decision himself.

Although my cousin has a blank expression and looks a bit silly, she actually has a lot on her mind and is probably thinking of something to say to refute me.

She doesn't spend money quickly, and she probably still has more than half of that five thousand yuan left. She didn't have much money when she was living in the past, and now that she has moved to this new home, the only person she can rely on is Wen Mo. So, naturally, her favorability towards him has increased.

Seeing that Wen Mo had made up his mind, Xia Lian no longer hesitated and obediently nodded her head in agreement.

"knew."

"Good to know, you're a good girl~" Wen Mo smiled and patted her head, his mood instantly brightening. Then he stood up and stretched. "You sit in the room for a while, I'll go to the balcony to wash the clothes."

The torn socks from before could be thrown away, Wen Mo hummed a little tune as he took the remaining clothes out of the laundry basket.

"Huh? What's this?"

He touched a soft piece of clothing, made of a material he had never encountered before. He frowned slightly and pulled it out.

Yes, the color is exactly the same as the socks.

Wen Mo's eyelids twitched violently, and he subconsciously turned around to look. Sure enough, Xia Lian was standing behind him again, taking in the whole scene with her eyes, her face showing no reaction.

A second time.

"Wenmo, you like me..."

"I don't like it! And you have to wash these clothes yourself!"

...

The weather in the south is always unpredictable. Last week it felt quite hot outside, but next week you might be hit by a couple of cold gusts of wind.

Since that heavy rain, the weather has gotten colder day by day, and people have realized that mid-October is already halfway through autumn.

On weekend mornings, neither of them liked to get up early; they preferred to stay snuggled in bed, feeling warm and cozy.

"It's definitely more comfortable to wake up naturally..." Wen Mo yawned, slowly sat up, and the blanket on his body accidentally slipped down a little.

Xia Lian was fast asleep, but seemed to feel a little cold. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her clear eyes opened a little.

Seeing this, Wen Mo apologetically pulled the blanket over her even more, saying, "Sorry, I accidentally knocked the blanket off and made you wake up from the cold."

The girl's eyes were still a little blurry. Waking up in the cold weather wasn't a pleasant experience, especially the chilly feeling on her body.

She lowered her head slightly, her eyes involuntarily drifting towards Wen Mo. When the familiar voice reached her ears, her body swayed slightly.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you still asleep?" Wen Mo asked, a little puzzled, and peered forward a few times.

The next second, Xia Lian leaned gently against him, burying her head in his arms, her cheek occasionally nuzzling against his. Her messy hair couldn't hide the girl's pure sleeping face.

Perhaps because she was still half asleep, she pressed herself against Wen Mo's chest, her cool voice carrying a hint of coquetry.

"Wenmo, hug me..."

Wen Mo felt a slight itch in his chest, and dared not look at Xia Lian. The thin pajamas could not cover anything at all. Even though he knew he was used to hugging her, his cheeks were still flushed.

Once Xia Lian had calmed her down a bit, she gently released her hands, looked at the clean face in front of her, tilted her head slightly, and waved obediently.

"Good morning, Wenmo."

Wen Mo clutched his chest, unable to control the expression on his face.

We're doomed.

The next second, he ran to the bathroom as if fleeing, cupped his hands in cold water and splashed it directly on his face.

Of course, it's not just facial expressions that are hard to control.

With his face covered in water, Wenmo coughed twice, wiped his cheeks with a towel, and calmed down a bit.

Back in his bedroom, he took a deep breath and tried to relax as much as possible when facing the girl in front of him.

"Xiao Lian, I have something very important to tell you." Wen Mo held her small hand, his tone earnest.

Xia Lian's expression was a little strange. She didn't know what had just happened, or why Wen Mo had suddenly run to the toilet.

"From now on, no hugs when I first wake up in the morning...!"

Xia Lian looked puzzled upon hearing this.

"Why?"

"No reason why, that's all."

After saying this, Wen Mo turned around and no longer dared to look at her.

Because... it's too dangerous...
