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 41 Lying

After he finished speaking, the room fell into a long silence.

Wen Mo felt so ashamed that he wanted to jump right away, while Xia Lian in front of him was digesting Wen Mo's words. After a long while, her eyes flickered with restraint, her lips parted slightly, but she couldn't speak. This unspeakable shyness added a layer of mystery to her.

Wen Mo looked at her in surprise. So you can be shy too...

Seeing Xia Lian's reaction, Wen Mo knew that his words had worked. However, what he had just said was so embarrassing that he almost dug a three-bedroom, two-living-room house out of his shoe with his toes.

Seeing this, Wen Mo pressed his advantage, placing the phone in her hand and gently holding Xia Lian's hand. "Just take it and use it. Why are you being so polite with me? This thing isn't expensive, it's only a little over 1,000 yuan."

He smiled brightly, but secretly told a lie.

This phone is even more expensive than the phone Winmer is currently using.

Under his gaze, Xia Lian slowly raised her eyes, met the gentle smile of the person in front of her, and finally nodded in agreement.

Holding her phone, she said earnestly, "I will cherish it for the rest of my life."

"Don't be like that. A phone is only used for three years at most before you have to replace it." Wen Mo smiled and placed his hand on her head, gently rubbing it.

Feeling the gentle caress on her head, Xia Lian placed her palm on her chest, as if the words she had just spoken had stirred up some different feelings within her.

“I’m also… very happy to be able to live with Wenmo…”

She said it in a low voice.

At this moment, the idiot Wen Mo picked up his chopsticks, concentrating on finishing the fried rice that Xia Lian hadn't finished earlier. He looked up with a blank expression and asked, "Xia Lian, what did you just say?"

Seeing his silly look, Xia Lian gently shook her head, her gentle eyes reflecting Wen Mo's face.
