"This time, talk to Mom properly. Mom will listen carefully, okay?"

Mrs. Alianghe reached out and took her daughter's hand.

Qi Wu looked at her mother, and under her mother's gentle gaze, she nodded and said, "I want to take this opportunity to ask her clearly how Xiao Linlin really sees me. If... if I confess, will Xiao Linlin really be willing to date me?"

"You seem very worried. You've known Linlin for quite a while now, but suddenly you're so eager to get a final answer. Is it... that you're afraid Linlin will be snatched away by another girl?"

A very insightful comment.

Qi Wu looked at her mother in surprise.

"Mom, you don't happen to have mind-reading abilities, do you?!"

The latter burst into laughter.

“Silly child, don’t forget, your mother was once your age too. Don’t look at how small your mother is now, but your mother has also been troubled, confused, and in pain. She has also suffered the bitterness of youth… so some things are naturally clear to her.”

"Um."

"So, Mom was right? ~"

"Um."

Qi Wu nodded, acknowledging it.

Mrs. Alianghe smiled.

"Mom believes that you definitely have a place in Linlin's heart, so cheer up, my good child, and believe in yourself."

"Mom, how did you know?"

"Men would never go to the house of a girl they're not interested in and spend time alone with her. Of course... except for those wicked men who never treat girls as important people and are bad men. I wouldn't let those kinds of men harm Xiao Qi Wu either."

Qi Wu was quite amused upon hearing this.

She countered, "Then how do you know, Mom, that Linlin isn't that kind of bad man?"

"Haha, silly boy, don't I have the ability to judge people? In fact, whether a person is good or bad can often be seen from their appearance at first glance. There's an old saying that goes, 'The face reflects the heart.'"

As he spoke.

Mrs. Arianhe specially took her phone back from the table, unlocked it, and showed her daughter her desktop wallpaper.

In an instant.

Qi Wu saw that her mother's phone wallpaper was the same vertical solo photo that she had sent to her mother during their beach vacation, which she had specifically asked Luo Lin to pose for.

On a clean and tidy beach.

The sunlight shone on the man's clean, fair skin, giving it a slightly dazzling white glow.

With its back to the vast sea.

The man's face radiated a smile that symbolized freedom and passion; one glance was enough to captivate anyone.

It's also equipped with an ultra-high-definition camera.

Even when the photo is enlarged, you can see glistening drops of seawater flowing down the muscular lines of the man's body.

——

And this photo.

This is the photo that Qi Wu took, her favorite one, and it's her phone wallpaper.

The result was completely unexpected.

My own mother even set it as her phone wallpaper.

"Mom??? Why did you set this photo as your phone wallpaper too?!"

Qi Wu felt somewhat ashamed for her.

Mrs. Alianghe admired the photograph and spoke leisurely.

"If you insist on asking why Mom did this, what else could it be but because she likes it! Haha, when you first sent it to Mom, Mom thought you had found some handsome pictures of guys on some website."

"It's not a picture from the internet."

"Mom knows, after all, you took so many photos and sent them to Mom. But Mom still likes this one the most, oh no, I like it so much, hehe, so I've kept it as my wallpaper."

"What kind of mother uses photos of her daughter's favorite person as wallpaper?!"

"Hey, isn't there one right in front of you?"

"What if someone sees us?"

"Haha, Mom doesn't care."

"Forehead."

Qi Wu remained silent.

Mrs. Alianghe continued.

"Even just from this photo, Mom can feel the heat and passion emanating from Xiao Linlin. This man is just too charming. No wonder other girls are fighting with you for Xiao Linlin. The man that Xiao Qiwu likes will naturally be liked by other girls."

"Xiao Linlin is mine."

"Mom believes that Linlin is not a bad man, so she is willing for you to bring him home, and even if you date him or get married in the future... Mom will not object to any of it, because... Mom can feel safe and warm from him, and she will subconsciously feel an urge to be cared for and embraced by him."

"I understand!"

Qi Wu excitedly agreed.

"Hehe, right? So someone like that can't possibly be a bad person."

"Mom, Linlin saved my life."

"real?"

"More than once, whenever I was in danger, Xiaolinlin would never stand idly by. He would do everything he could to help me, save me, and... care for and protect me in every way."

"It seems that the story between you two is far more extensive than your mother can imagine."

"It's not that exaggerated, haha."

Qi Wu scratched her head, looking quite embarrassed.

Mrs. Alianghe said.
