The next day.

On ordinary weekends, high school students rarely have a full two-day holiday. Most schools only give senior students half a day off, and the holiday arrangement of schools like Linchuan High School is extremely rare.

"Dad, why are you calling so early in the morning...?"

Wenmo was woken up by the phone call. He yawned and rubbed his sleepy eyes, looking like he had just woken up.

I glanced at the time, and it didn't seem to be early morning; it was almost noon. I had gone to bed quite early last night, but it's true what they say, it's easy to not get up on weekends.

"It's almost noon and you're still acting like it's early in the morning." Wen Yiquan snorted unhappily. "Your mom told me to send you some money. Don't stay cooped up at home all day. You should go out and have some fun once in a while."

"I know, and I haven't been staying home all the time lately, have I?" His mind was still a little dazed, but he immediately snapped out of it when he heard there was money to be made.

Where is Xiao Lian?

"...I guess he's not awake yet, I don't know."

This time, Wen Mo was smarter. He deliberately waited two seconds before answering, and his answer was ambiguous, just to avoid arousing Wen Yiquan's suspicion.

He glanced at Xia Lian beside him, and thought, "Hmm... she's still asleep."

The girl's face was half-hidden under the pillow, her eyelashes fluttering slightly with her breath. The blanket had been kicked off at some point, exposing most of her body. She curled up slightly, seemingly because of the cold, making her appear even smaller and more delicate.

This girl always kicks off the blankets.

Wen Mo casually tucked the blanket over her and stretched. "I'll hang up now if there's nothing else. I have to cook later."

"Take Xiaolian out for a stroll whenever you have nothing else to do, but don't let your 'homebody' attitude infect her."

Wen Mo rolled his eyes. He had just woken up and was already being lectured by his father. Besides, he had hardly stayed home since Xiao Lian moved in.

And this girl can sleep even longer than me.

He was about to retort when he felt the soft body beside him tremble slightly. Xia Lian slowly opened her eyes and sat up blankly.

After waiting for a second or two, she raised her head, her eyes full of innocence.

"Good morning..." Xia Lian said softly.

!

The next second, Wen Mo hung up the phone as quickly as possible, not even hearing what Wen Yiquan said afterward. He only felt relieved when the phone returned to the desktop.

A chill ran down my spine; I just hoped my father hadn't heard Xia Lian's voice just now.

On the other side.

"Why did he just hang up like that? This kid took the money and his attitude isn't even that good, really!" Wen Yiquan almost cursed in anger as he listened to the busy tone on the phone.

But did you just hear Xiao Lian's voice?

Wen Yiquan frowned in thought, could it be...?

"Honey, can you get me a glass of water? I'm so thirsty."

"Coming right up!"

Yes, what happened just now was immediately forgotten.

They escaped unscathed.

...

Because I got up so late, it felt like no time had passed before it was afternoon.

Having received Wen Yiquan's money, Wen Mo naturally had to do his bidding. However, it was a bit too hot to go out now, so he planned to wait until evening to take Xia Lian out.

I plan to spend the afternoon studying.

After lunch, Wenmo sat down at his desk and casually took out a test paper to start writing.

The homework system at Linchuan Middle School is very simple: if you achieve a certain grade in a single subject, you don't have to do homework for that subject, including during winter and summer vacations. Of course, the premise is that you have to ensure that your grades don't decline even if you don't do homework.

"What's Wenmo doing here?"

Xia Lian wandered aimlessly around Wen Mo's room as usual, and when she found there was nothing to do, she went up to him.

"Studying."

"Huh...?" She seemed a little puzzled, tilting her head in confusion. "But Wenmo's grades are already very good."

Winmer, however, was unsurprised by this reaction.

It's true that he has excellent grades, but grades still need to be maintained through studying. There's no such thing as someone who can get first place without studying.

Wen Mo usually appears to others as unserious at school, sleeping in class and playing around after class.

How could someone like that get first place?

He'd heard this kind of talk far too many times and was too lazy to explain it to anyone anymore.

Anyone who says such a thing has simply never seen Wen Mo studying at home. He's just an ordinary person, not a genius.

Xia Lian was the first person to see Wen Mo studying at home.

"Would you like to write one too?"

Seeing that she was bored, Wen Mo took out a test paper from the pile and handed it to Xia Lian, asking with a smile.

Xia Lian was taken aback, but did not refuse immediately. Instead, she reached out and took the test paper, frowning as she looked at the obscure and difficult questions.

"can't read……"

"It's okay, you can take a look at the questions, otherwise it'll be too boring to look at you." After saying that, Wen Mo put his mind to studying.

Seeing that he really didn't intend to pay attention to her, Xia Lian didn't bother him and instead obediently sat back on Wen Mo's bed in a daze.

After sitting for a while, Xia Lian seemed to get a little bored, so she put her head on the pillow and occasionally glanced at Wen Mo, who was studying.

It was afternoon, and the golden sunlight streamed into the room through the window, reflecting off the floor and landing on Wen Mo's back, as if draping him in a golden veil.

Wenmer's back wasn't particularly broad; in fact, it could be described as somewhat thin. But under the golden glow, the white t-shirt paired with his not-so-broad back created an inexplicable harmony.

Xia Lian was stunned. She didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment. It turned out that good-looking people are good-looking no matter how you look at them, even if you only see their backs.
