With her mouth full of fried chicken, Xiang Xiaonan had a hard time speaking and it took her a while to swallow it all. "Cough cough cough... I'm choking to death."
She gulped down several mouthfuls of water, patted her chest to catch her breath, and then solemnly held up two fingers, “First, you need to see what the other person cares about most, and second, you need to be able to express your feelings well!”
Wen Mo was stunned by what she said. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that what she said made a lot of sense, so he nodded approvingly, "You were actually smart for once. That's incredible."
Is this a compliment?
"Yes."
"Is that so? Thank you!" Xiang Xiaonan happily dipped the chicken in the sauce and continued eating.
At the same time, a hand suddenly reached out from under the table, firmly gripping the edge, and a humanoid creature with a resentful expression crawled out.
"You two! You didn't even wait for me to eat...!"
"Ah, this guy has been resurrected using Edo Tensei."
Qin Prefecture [Impure Earth Reincarnation - Release]
...
School's out.
Unlike his usual relaxed demeanor, Wen Mo seemed preoccupied at this moment, his brows furrowing frequently, making him appear unusually serious.
Xia Lian, standing beside him, didn't seem to notice anything amiss and continued to hold his hand as always. For her, being able to hold Wen Mo's hand after school was enough to make her happy.
"Xiao Lian."
"Um?"
Wen Mo, who was beside her, suddenly spoke, startling Xia Lian, who was focused on holding hands.
"When you buy something, what do you look at most? Or what features do you think it has most often?" He asked a strange question, not even understanding what he was saying.
Even so, Xia Lian was still trying to think after hearing the question, her already dull mind now working at full speed.
Several seconds later, she raised her head.
“I will consider its…practicability,” Xia Lian said earnestly.
"...Is that so?"
Wen Mo pursed her lips. This answer was indeed unexpected, but it also inexplicably fit the girl's character, as could be seen from the fact that she didn't like buying decorations.
She might really like two whetstones, and they'd be quite practical... Just kidding, giving her whetstones would be a really insincere gesture.
As for the sentiment behind it, that's even more difficult to handle; such an intangible thing is hard to define with material objects.
Wen Mo rested his chin on his hand, glancing at the girl from time to time, looking her over from head to toe.
"Wenmo, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to see you more."
"Oh." The girl held his hand, not finding anything strange about it.
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, stinging Xia Lian's already cold face, causing her to quickly bury her head further into her clothes.
Wen Mo blinked. He had seen the scene clearly just now, and his eyes trembled slightly in the breeze.
"Wenmo...?"
Xia Lian was a little confused. Why did he suddenly freeze?
It took Wenmo a while to react, and by then his mind was no longer on anything else.
It seems I've found what I'm looking for.
