Have You Bring Your Cousin, Only to Play a Nurturing Game?

She is often expressionless, never revealing what she’s thinking.

No matter what, the cautious cousin arrived at Wenmo’s abode.

These two ended up living together inexplicably.

Chapter 147 Kiss Mark

This is the first group photo taken while we were awake.

Xia Lian's expression was blank, and her tense body seemed a little nervous, as if she couldn't relax at all.

"Don't always be so stiff. Your expression is like it's printed on your face. You should smile sometimes." Wen Mo raised his phone and tried to zoom it out so that it would just fit the two people on the screen and the setting sun behind them.

Xia Lian was stunned, her already blank mind racing with thoughts.

expression……

Smile……

She couldn't remember when it happened, but she still tried her best to do as Wen Mo said, forcing a stiff upward curve at the corners of her mouth.

Unfortunately, only the corners of his mouth turned up; his eyes and face didn't match, making his whole expression look very uncoordinated. From a distance, his smile looked rather "sinister."

“That’s not how you smile! You’ve smiled before, it’s very simple.” Wen Mo was amused by her, and pinched Xia Lian’s cheeks with both hands, lifting them up a little.

She used to smile on her birthdays before, and her smile was so beautiful. Unfortunately, Wenmo was so mesmerized that he forgot to take a picture.

The gloomy expression in his eyes, coupled with the faint smile at the corner of his mouth and his innocent demeanor, made him incredibly endearing and evoked a strong protective instinct.

I have to make her laugh one more time.

"I won't, laugh..."

Xia Lian lowered her head in disappointment, her eyebrows drooping as well, her slender white fingers twisting together beneath her.

If you just force a smile, that's a fake smile, and you can tell the difference from a real smile at a glance. It looks very awkward.

"It's very simple, come on, I'll teach you."

Wenmo offered a few words of comfort and gently patted her back, while his mind raced, trying to figure out what to do.

In the end, he thought it might not matter if he didn't smile, so he narrowed his eyes and quietly came up behind Xia Lian.

"Hey!" Wen Mo grinned and brought his face close to Xia Lian's cheek. Their faces were pressed tightly together, and the soft collagen felt very comfortable, though a little cold.

Xia Lian seemed a little taken aback, her eyes instinctively glancing to her side.

At that moment, Wen Mo grinned and raised his phone to take a picture.

"Click".

Continuous shooting.

With several clicks of the shutter, many photos appeared on my phone. This is a habit I've had since we started taking photos together. I'll find the best one from them later.

"It seems like the filming is done." Wen Mo put down his phone, rested his head on her shoulder, and leaned down to hug Xia Lian with his arms.

Yes, as expected, there isn't a single photo of this girl looking at the camera; most of them are of her turning her face away from the camera.

And what's even more damning is that this girl blinked.

"This one won't do, this one won't do either..." Wen Mo muttered, leaning against Xia Lian as they looked at the photos together. When they turned to the next one, Wen Mo's eyes widened slightly, and his eyes lit up.

"This one looks pretty good."

He zoomed in on the group photo.

The two in the photo look very harmonious, capturing the moment Xia Lian turns to look at Wen Mo. If you look closely, you can see that Lian Bao's face still has a faint blush, and her eyes seem to be hiding deep emotions. On the other side, Wen Mo is smiling at the camera, making a peace sign with his other hand on the other side of Xia Lian's shoulder. The setting sun behind them is mostly blocked, so there is a slight backlight, but it can be fixed with some editing later.

This photo is perfect. Wenmo even felt that at that moment, this girl might have really wanted to kiss him.

Xia Lian stared intently, her eyes wide open, occasionally zooming in for a closer look.

The advantage of being good-looking is that no matter how good the photographer is, the final photo won't be too bad, no matter how bad it is. The two people in the photo are clearly a slightly naive couple.

Reaching out to gently stroke the image of Wen Mo in the photo, Xia Lian blinked her beautiful eyes, "Can we... take another picture?"

"Hmm? This one looks pretty good, doesn't it?" Wen Mo was a little puzzled, but didn't say anything, took the phone and readjusted the settings.

Xia Lian shook her head and didn't say anything.

Her tender eyes seemed to be planning something, her hands were rubbing together behind her back, and she leaned forward a little.

After setting up the burst mode, Wen Mo raised his phone high again and hugged Xia Lian in his arms, maintaining the same posture as before, with his head resting on Xia Lian's shoulder, which made them appear much more intimate.

"Get ready, we'll start filming in three seconds."

"Mm." Xia Lian nodded, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Seeing that she was alright, Wen Mo put on his signature smile, his eyes full of laughter.

"three."

"two."

"One...wait?!"

Wen Mo was stunned, his expression subconsciously changing from a smile to surprise, and he didn't react for a moment.

The moisture from her lips clung tightly to his cheek, the girl's soft lips pressed against his. She slightly narrowed her eyes, wrapped her arms around Wen Mo's neck, and leaned against him.

at the same time.

The phone snapped photos like it was on command, taking several shots in a row to capture the moment completely, not missing a single pixel.

Only after the shutter clicked did Xia Lian reluctantly release her arms, her lips leaving Wen Mo's face, a faint watermark remaining on his cheek.

Seeing Wenmo's surprised expression, the girl seemed a little embarrassed, squatted down silently, and put on the large hood of her hoodie.

The moment the hat was put on, two big cat ears appeared on top, which, combined with Xia Lian's shy expression, made her even cuter. It was definitely the right choice to buy the cat ear hoodie.

"It's done filming..." Xia Lian stammered, her voice so soft that even she couldn't hear it.

"I'm not washing my face today."

Wen Mo pursed his lips, his crimson heart pounding violently in his chest, the sensation on his face still lingering, even the kiss seemed to carry a fragrance.

The two met each other's gazes, then looked away shyly.

Unlike her initial indifferent expression, the girl has changed a lot now, and her emotional changes are palpable; she has become a girl who can be shy and happy.

"Was this your original plan?" Wen Mo scratched his face, glancing at the several new photos on his phone.

Xia Lian was a little shy, but still obediently nodded her head.

"Because of kisses, Wenmer will be... very happy."

She stammered out a sentence, revealing the emotions hidden in her eyes. Although it was embarrassing, she did it anyway.

However, Xia Lian quickly returned to her usual emotionless demeanor, but her slightly flushed earlobes revealed that she was pretending to adapt.

"How are the photos?"

"Oh, let me see." Wenmo flipped through the photos from earlier.

Unlike the previous picture, the emotions of the two have changed a lot. Wen Mo's smile has turned into surprise, while the girl next to him kisses him tightly, echoing the light pink on his face. The whole picture looks like a funny and romantic photo. It looks very harmonious and beautiful.
