Their little nest was as quiet as ever.

"So, Qin Zhou saw the photos of the two of us, but he didn't notice anything wrong, is that right?" Wen Mo tilted his head, held the phone between his shoulder and ear, and washed the dishes while listening to the call.

"Yes, and that kid took advantage of me."

"He took advantage of you?" Wen Mo blinked. "He molested you? Then when we get to school tomorrow, I'll give him a couple of punches to vent your anger."

"No, that's not it." Xiang Xiaonan lay speechlessly on the bed, occasionally kicking the bed board with her two little feet, her slender white fingers twirling a strand of her hair, her expression displeased.

"So what did he do?"

"You know the arcade we go to often has a rule, right? If you're a couple, you get five extra game tokens."

At this point, Xiang Xiaonan didn't continue.

Wen Mo understood as well. He guessed that Qin Zhou was after the five game coins, and the two of them had pretended to be a couple for an entire afternoon.

"Isn't that great? We still have five game coins."

"Good my foot! He promised to buy me milk tea, but he forgot again." Xiang Xiaonan puffed out her cheeks, as if tattled on to her parents, and recounted all the "bad things" Qin Zhou had done.

"Pfft..."

"why are you laughing."

"It's nothing, I just wanted to have a laugh." Wen Mo couldn't help but chuckle, but still pretended to be calm and continued, "I'll treat you to milk tea, it doesn't matter whether that kid treats me or I treat him."

"That's so kind of you! Thank you!"

"It's nothing, I should thank you for keeping it a secret," Wen Mo said casually, shaking off the water after washing the dishes and washing his hands.

The two chatted casually for a while before hanging up the phone.

Xiao Nan is here today to complain and, incidentally, to report on the current situation.

Wen Mo pinched his chin, crossed his legs on the sofa, and frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

Qin Zhou is the kind of guy who's a bit dim-witted. If I didn't tell him in person that Xia Lian and I are together, he probably would never know the current situation.

Almost everyone around them knows about it. Starting with family and friends, they will gradually come into contact with the relationship between the two. So far, no one has been unable to accept it.

Although Yin Tao was very worried about the two of them, it seemed that there were no problems so far. After all, that girl was just like that, always doing whatever she wanted.

As for people other than family and friends, it's best to keep it a secret. It doesn't matter whether they know or not, since you'll be going to another school after graduation anyway.

"I'm almost graduating, it really has been going by so fast..." Wen Mo leaned back on the sofa, tilted his head back, glanced at the pure white ceiling, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

I thought about what would happen in the future.

They had to separate after starting university, and there was a two-year gap between them.

Just as Wen Mo was pondering, the bedroom door was gently pushed open, and a petite figure stepped out.

"Wenmo." Xia Lian rubbed her sleepy eyes, called his name, and slowly walked over with her small feet, sitting down next to Wenmo.

This girl was probably tired from playing. She went straight to bed in her bedroom without even eating when she got home, and she's probably a little hungry now.

"woke up?"

Wen Mo patted her little head until Xia Lian made a cute gurgling sound from her throat, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her head tilted up a little.

"I'm a little...hungry." Xia Lian rubbed her lower abdomen, the empty feeling inside was not pleasant, she had just woken up by hunger.

Wen Mo nodded, stood up and brought out the heated food. The food hadn't been touched much; he hadn't had much of an appetite since Xia Lian wasn't around.

"Let's eat."

Upon hearing this, Xia Lian obediently sat on the chair, her two little feet swinging under her. She picked up her chopsticks and was about to start eating, but then inexplicably stopped and turned to look at Wen Mo.

"Huh?" Wen Mo was taken aback, then smiled. "Is there something on my face?"

After saying that, Xia Lian shook her head and asked blankly, "Wen Mo, have you eaten?"

"I've already eaten, don't leave me any leftovers."

Wenmo sat down beside her, propping his cheek up with one hand, and quietly watched the girl eat.

"Oh." Xia Lian didn't hesitate any longer and started eating her food in small bites. Perhaps she was really hungry, because she ate much faster than usual, and in no time, she finished a bowl of rice.

Even Wenmo was a little surprised by this scene, but despite his astonishment, he still got up to help add another bowl.

It's a good thing to be able to eat more.

Neither of them spoke in the living room; one was focused on eating, while the other was focused on watching her eat.

Little Black had just woken up. The little rascal crawled around on the ground with its tail curled up, and finally jumped onto Wenmo's lap.

It's been a while since we adopted it, and the little guy has gradually become more secure in his new home. For one thing, I always have to pet its belly a couple of times after school, otherwise I always feel like something's missing.

"This kid is getting more and more attached to me, that's good." Wen Mo scratched its chin, looking at the little black dog rolling around in his arms with delight.

Xia Lian glanced to the side, took a bite of the food in her bowl, then put down her chopsticks and said calmly, "Xiao Hei is a girl."

"..."

"..."

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other in bewilderment. Wenmo was a little embarrassed. He had taken the cat home so many days ago, and this was the first time he had known that Xiao Hei was a female cat.

"Oh, I see. This kid... this girl is a girl." Wen Mo pretended nothing had happened and continued petting the cat, the furry thighs making his own thighs a little itchy.

After Xia Lian finished eating, she was about to go into the kitchen to wash the dishes when she suddenly stopped and turned around to give him a concerned look.

"Why are you staring at me?" Wen Mo put Xiao Hei down on the ground, stood up and smiled.

Xia Lian raised her eyes, her expression strange, as if she were scrutinizing someone or pondering something. Finally, she put down the bowl in her hand and walked a few steps to Wen Mo.

Before Wen Mo could speak, his cheeks were cupped by two warm little hands.

"Wenmo, something's on your mind."

“…No.” Wen Mo’s face was rubbed, and his words were muffled.

Xia Lian shook her head, her expression calm. "I can tell."

Wen Mo thought to himself, as if guided by a sixth sense, this girl's intuition was truly amazing.

What Wenmo didn't know was that she never relied on her sixth sense to judge people, but genuinely sensed that something was wrong with her mood, as if every heartbeat was being transmitted to the other person at the same frequency.

"It's just a little bit, don't worry about it." Wen Mo released her hand, trying to make his expression look relaxed.

Ultimately, there are still six months until graduation, so there's no need to rush into thinking about the future. Things will fall into place eventually.

"I want to know...what's on Wenmo's mind?" Xia Lian's tone was serious, though her words still stammered.

Wen Mo looked at her like this, shook his head, and his deep eyes were filled with indescribable emotions.

"If we were to be separated for a period of time after graduation, what would you think?"
