Wen Mo always finds it fun to tease children, and his mental age is probably like that of a child. Fortunately, Xia Lian is also an immature young woman, and the two of them get along fairly well living together.
"Wen Mo just touched me." Xia Lian shrank back and turned her face away.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Wen Mo quickly apologized, but his expression was somewhat guilty as he awkwardly looked away.
To be honest, it does feel really good.
"No, it wasn't intentional?"
"..."
Staring directly into those clear, big eyes, Wen Mo couldn't possibly utter a single lie. Now he finally understood why nature could overcome cunning.
"Okay, I actually touched it on purpose, I just wanted to touch it... I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He lowered his head, looking just like a child who had done something wrong.
To be honest, Wen Mo always felt a little impulsive, especially when she held Xia Lian in her arms. That soft touch always made her heart itch. Fortunately, she couldn't feel her own heartbeat.
"Why, apologize?" Xia Lian tilted her head slightly, a hint of confusion on her beautiful face, and leaned closer. "Did you do something wrong?"
"It's not that I did anything wrong, it's just that you don't like it..."
"I like."
Before Wen Mo could finish speaking, Xia Lian nodded repeatedly, her soft body leaning closer, her innocent eyes revealing a different kind of emotion.
“I said before… I don’t dislike Wen Mo touching me.”
Wen Mo was so embarrassed by these words that he could barely utter a few words. He sat on the sofa, looking as sullen as a gourd, and reached out to turn on the remote control to watch TV, as if he was deliberately trying to change the topic and atmosphere.
"Let's watch TV, otherwise today will be really boring."
"oh."
Although she didn't know why Wen Mo suddenly stopped talking, Xia Lian still obediently responded.
Wen Mo rested his hands behind his head and sighed softly without realizing it, suddenly feeling like he was a newborn.
This girl clearly doesn't understand anything, yet I still managed to hit her. I deserve it!
Thinking about it, he inexplicably had an urge to slap himself, but with Xia Lian sitting next to him, he didn't have the chance.
It's true that you feel a little envious after getting a girlfriend, especially when that person is the girl you like the most. It's quite normal to feel that way.
But things are different now. I just accidentally scratched her leg, and I have this strange feeling of bullying an idiot, because this girl is just too innocent... She even said she could touch me if she wanted to. A strange sense of guilt suddenly rushed into my heart.
If it's just a couple of occasional touches now, who knows if she'll take advantage of it later? The two of us are already so close, what if it really ends up like that...
"Wenmo's here, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing that Wen Mo was deep in thought with his eyes closed, Xia Lian had somehow moved closer to him, lifted her bottom up, and sat in his lap.
With her head resting on Wen Mo's chin, Xia Lian's two fair legs swung back and forth, her innocent eyes revealing a hint of confusion.
"Huh?" Feeling the extra weight on his body, Wen Mo finally realized, "Oh, I wasn't thinking anything, I just really wanted to watch TV."
The dramas broadcast on TV aren't very good; they're all the same old tropes and tragic endings. You can't expect to see the male and female leads get together until at least 50 episodes.
On the surface, the two were staring at the TV, but in reality, their minds were already wandering off somewhere else.
"Wenmo".
"Hmm?" Wen Mo lowered his head.
Xia Lian gently poked his chest, blinked her big eyes, leaned her head closer, and whispered in his ear, "There's something I forgot to say."
Wenmo's ears felt a soft sensation; the light, airy sound felt soothing and comforting.
"What is it?" He smiled, reached out and patted Xia Lian's back, pulling her closer.
Xia Lian didn't hesitate. Instead, she lowered her head and tapped her index fingers together. "Last time, on my birthday... my uncle and aunt gave me money."
Actually, when Xia Lian went to her parents' house for dinner last time, she already had the two of them as WeChat friends. It seemed that the two of them were hoping to achieve something on her birthday.
"They gave you money, so what? It shows they care about you. Remember to thank them." Wen Mo shrugged, his smile widening.
Although he was a little jealous, it didn't stop him from liking Xia Lian.
"How much did you give?" Wen Mo asked casually.
Hearing this question, Xia Lian seemed a little at a loss. She opened her phone and showed Wen Mo the balance on it.
"They gave me...ten thousand."
"Ten thousand?!"
He couldn't sit still any longer. His sharp voice almost woke up the neighbors next door, and his face immediately scrunched up like a steamed bun.
I'll give you 10,000 yuan for my birthday.
Wenmer had received money before, but unlike this, he had never received a red envelope with such a large sum of money.
"I wanted to say it before, but I forgot."
Xia Lian was so happy on her birthday that day that she thanked her parents before going to sleep and then fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up in the morning, she had forgotten everything.
Seeing Wen Mo's surprised expression, Xia Lian blinked and handed over her phone.
"for you."
"Give what?"
"Give all the money to Wenmer."
"...They gave this to you, how could I possibly accept it?" Wen Mo held her phone, looking at the large sum of money that had been added to the account, and couldn't help but sigh. These two were really generous, spending so lavishly on their first birthday celebration for their child. "Take this and buy more food to eat, and grow up healthy and plump."
“But I can’t accept it. I haven’t done anything…” Xia Lian shook her head. She had never received a gift of such a large amount before, and she even felt a little uncomfortable.
"I just touched your leg, and you're my girlfriend."
"..."
Xia Lian remained silent.
Smelling her delicate fragrance, Wen Mo reached out and hugged her tightly, as if holding a delicate-faced doll. "Don't always act like an outsider. I've said it before, we're family. This money shows that your parents like you very much. Why would I take this money? How silly of me."
"But this is so much money," Xia Lian said timidly.
"Then just keep it there. The money won't disappear. If you're reluctant to spend it, I'll pay for it. Our relationship is already intertwined."
Seemingly feeling somewhat undeserving of the reward, Xia Lian's expression revealed a hint of unease, but she still tried her best to accept the situation and obediently nodded her head.
"Then Wenmer, touch his leg."
As she spoke, she put her feet back on the sofa and looked up at Wen Mo with innocent eyes.
"...If we don't touch it now, we can take our time later."
