Su Juan looked suspicious, but didn't know what to say, since the two of them hadn't done anything wrong anyway.

"You two enjoy your food. I'll go back to my room first." After delivering the fruit, Su Juan helped turn off the light. She could tell that Xia Lian was a little sleepy; she must have been woken up by her.

"You can lie down and sleep for a while, it's okay, Xiao Lian," she said gently, her smile never fading, showing how much she really liked this girl.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Xia Lian thanked them politely and picked up a slice of watermelon to eat in small bites.

Only when Su Juan's footsteps faded into the distance and she returned to the next bedroom did Wen Mo finally breathe a sigh of relief, his back already covered in a layer of cold sweat.

"Wenmo, are you nervous?"

Xia Lianjing quietly moved closer to him, her innocent big eyes blinking, seemingly unaware that what had just happened was dangerous.

"I was almost scared to death." Patting his chest, Wen Mo felt much calmer.

At least in front of their parents, the two are still in a normal cousin relationship, so they can't bring their relationship patterns from that family into this one.

"Are we doing...something bad?" Xia Lian asked疑惑地, her clear eyes filled with innocence.

"No, we did nothing wrong."

He said it casually, not knowing how to answer the question. Wen Mo also didn't know whether his relationship with Xia Lian was a bad thing.

"Then, can't we hug?"

Xia Lian was disappointed.

"...You can hug me however you want when we get back, but at least we need to be proper here."

"oh."
