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.
<..."Is possessiveness a good thing?" Xia Lian asked blankly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with it at all. On the contrary, she felt that Wen Mo was showing that he cared about her.
Wen Mo thought for a moment and then poured out all his thoughts, "This means I'll have to keep an eye on everything you do in the future, and I'll also have to carefully observe your interpersonal relationships."
Hearing this, Xia Lian nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, this was a good thing; he really cared about me.
"Thanks."
Xia Lian thanked her sweetly, without the slightest displeasure on her face.
"...Why are you thanking me?" Wen Mo was speechless and could only play along with her silly antics. "You're becoming more and more comfortable with your current life. You never used to talk so much."
He patted Xia Lian on the back with a smile, his expression showing a hint of satisfaction.
When this girl first came here, she was incredibly timid. She would only say five words to anyone. Even when we took her to buy fried chicken, she was too shy to talk to the receptionist.
Things are different now. She's become more talkative, well... although she still stutters when she speaks, but that's part of her personality.
"I only speak to Wen Mo," Xia Lian said earnestly, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Don't just talk to me. You should talk to your friends more. You like talking to me because you're used to me, so it's easier for you to talk to me."
Wenmo actually quite likes her honesty; she always manages to surprise (or shock) people in different ways, and this contrast is kind of cute.
...
It was afternoon.
A package was delivered to the door, and Xia Lian's name was written in large letters on the recipient's label.
"You can even buy things online now? That's amazing." Wen Mo hugged the delivery box, closed the door, and gently placed it on the table.
Xia Lian trotted over from the sofa, her big eyes blinking excitedly.
"Yin Tao taught me."
Wenmo had originally intended to teach her how to buy things online, but the girl insisted that she didn't need to buy anything, so she didn't learn.
Now that he'd probably come across something he absolutely had to buy, Wenmo couldn't help but be curious about what it was.
"Next time, just fill in any nickname in the recipient field, and don't select door-to-door delivery. Just have the courier deliver it to the station. Our neighborhood convenience store is the station, it's very close."
Wen Mo picked up a pair of scissors from the side and gave her a few words of advice before he started cutting. He said that it was too dangerous to buy things using her real name and that one should always be wary of others.
After saying that, he quickly cut the tape on the express box, turned it around, and took out a... bra.
Okay, now I know what I absolutely need to buy.
“…You can have it. It’s better if you look at this by yourself.” Wen Mo looked a little embarrassed, but still pretended to be indifferent as he handed the box to Xia Lian.
"Wenmo, aren't you going to look?"
Xia Lian held the box, her expression seemingly a little puzzled.
"You should keep this and try it out in your room. You go into your room first." With that, Wen Mo pushed her back and led Xia Lian into her room, closing the door behind him.
After the door closed, Wenmo plopped down on the sofa and waited.
No wonder she bought it online. Buying this in a physical store would be too difficult for a shy girl like Xia Lian. This is where the advantages of online shopping come in.
"Oh right, don't wash these clothes yet. If they don't fit, you can return them," Wen Mo called out to the inside.
There was no response; they're probably still trying on clothes.
Just as Wenmo was about to take out his phone to play for a while, the door to the room was gently pushed open.
"Oh, you've finished testing it, right? Well... damn it!"
Before Wen Mo could speak, he looked up and saw a pretty young woman standing in front of the room wearing a set of pure white underwear, looking a little confused.
"There's a bow on the underwear."
"Never mind the bow! Why did you come out dressed like this?!" Wen Mo quickly turned his face away and turned his whole body around.
Xia Lian tilted her head blankly. "But I don't feel cold."
"This isn't a problem with the cold! This is, this is..."
"Wenmo, is it pretty?"
Ignoring the embarrassment on his face, Xia Lian turned around, letting him see her from head to toe without missing a single detail.
"It looks great, it suits you perfectly, go change back into your old clothes!"
After saying that, Wen Mo picked her up and tossed her back into the room in a few steps, locking the door behind him. The whole process was done in one smooth motion.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of changing clothes coming from inside again, his face showing a look of relief as if he had survived a disaster.
Naturally clueless, that's terrifying...
Since they started dating, the already small distance between them has been reduced even further.
Five minutes later, Xia Lian returned to the living room carrying the underwear she had changed out of.
"Wenmo, what's wrong?"
As soon as I looked up, I saw that Wen Mo's hair and face were wet, as if he had just been drenched in water, and he was shivering slightly from the cold.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly wanted to wash my face, but I accidentally washed my hair instead." He forced a smile, hugging his arms and shivering.
"oh."
Xia Lian nodded, then, as if remembering something, took out a card from the pile of underwear and handed it to Wen Mo.
"What is this thing?" Wen Mo took it and glanced at it in his palm.
You can get a 10 yuan cashback for positive reviews and buyer photos.
"Yes, ten yuan." Xia Lian blinked her eyes, as if she had found a treasure, that she could get money for buying things online.
"What a load of rubbish! You want to take buyer's show photos? Dream on!"
Wenmer was taken aback by the card, threw it on the floor, and stomped on it twice.
"Buyer's show?" Xia Lian clearly didn't understand what this meant.
"It's just about taking pictures of you wearing this outfit and then posting them online. What a load of rubbish." Wen Mo rolled his eyes, speechless.
Xia Lian was stunned upon hearing this.
Taking photos? Wearing this outfit?
"No, no more..." she said, shaking her head like a rattle-drum, her expression serious. "I'll only show it to Wenmo."
"That sounds strange, but I find it quite touching." Wen Mo was amused, and suddenly a brilliant idea flashed in his mind. He pulled out a piece of underwear from the pile.
Seeing Wen Mo's action, Xia Lian tilted her head, "Wen Mo likes my underwear..."
"That's not what I meant." Wen Mo chuckled mischievously, then picked up his clothes, went into the bathroom, closed the door, and tossed out a sentence from inside, "Ten bucks, no doubt."
Xia Lian sat there blankly, then suddenly understood what he wanted to do.
...
Ten minutes later.
Xia Lian was clearly stunned when she saw the extra twenty yuan in her account.
"No, ten yuan?"
"Oh, they asked me to delete my buyer reviews, and they even gave me an extra ten yuan. They're really nice."
