Xia Lian blinked upon hearing this, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that her cousin was indeed acting very strangely.
They're all about to take the college entrance exam, so why do they act so carefree? And they can actually lie around for two whole months during the summer vacation, which is just unreasonable.
"It's nothing, it's just because my grades are pretty good," he said casually.
"Just good grades? You're being too modest."
Xiang Xiaonan couldn't help but shake her head. Just as she was about to continue speaking, she suddenly heard someone call her name from behind.
"Xiao Nan! Have you gone missing again?!"
"Oh no! We've been chatting for too long! They must be getting impatient waiting for me!" She turned around awkwardly and responded, then waved to her companions.
"You have companions waiting for you, so you can chat with us for a while. Hurry up and go, don't keep them waiting."
"Hehe, I'll be going now. See you at school in a few days! Goodbye little sister too!"
He said goodbye to Xiao Nan with a grin, then turned and ran off in a flurry, shouting, "Don't worry! I'm back! I'm not lost!"
The sound faded into the distance; they were running quite fast.
"This guy is really carefree," Wen Mo said helplessly, sighing with a touch of melancholy. "Yeah, school starts in a few days... It's such a hassle, I don't want to go to school."
As he spoke, he led Xia Lian out of the mall.
"Wenmo".
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
He had noticed that Xia Lian seemed inexplicably down since earlier, especially when she was talking to Xiang Xiaonan, and he wondered why.
"That older sister, is she a friend?" She looked up.
Wen Mo didn't know why she suddenly asked this, and just casually replied, "Yeah, we're classmates, and we get along pretty well."
"oh……"
"What's wrong?"
She shook her head. "That lady is very pretty."
"Why are we suddenly talking about this? But... if we're just talking about her face, she is indeed quite pretty."
Hearing his answer, Xia Lian's already lifeless eyes dimmed even more.
"That's probably why she has so many friends. She's beautiful, outgoing, and very easygoing."
"well……?"
As if a keyword had been triggered, Xia Lian, who had been feeling down, suddenly raised her head. "She has... a lot of friends?"
Wen Mo took out his phone to hail a taxi, glancing around at the road conditions.
"Yeah, it would be strange if someone like her didn't have any friends. Almost everyone in our class is on good terms with her. It seems that being a little slow-witted is indeed an advantage."
Xia Lian seemed to understand something, and the hem of her clothes she was clutching loosened a little. "The whole class...are they all...very close to her?"
"People say she's like a heater, always running off to wherever the atmosphere team is needed."
Simply put, they are people who can chat with anyone, whether human or ghost, and are outgoing and lively. Such people are the easiest to get along with.
"I see."
She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the disappointment in her eyes gradually faded, becoming much clearer.
Why are you suddenly asking this?
Xia Lian shook her head, "I just thought that my sister only had a very good relationship with you."
Upon hearing this, Wen Mo looked at her in surprise, "How could you only be close to me? We just talk more often because our seats are close."
"You two are very close... You were saying that just now too."
For some reason, she seemed to be talking more today, and her previously unfocused gaze became much more serious as she stared intently at Wen Mo.
"Because we're friends, plus she's quite outgoing, and we were just... very intimate, weren't we?"
Wenmo was a little confused.
Recalling his behavior with Xiang Xiaonan just now, the only thing he did was stand a little closer when he was talking, and the only physical contact was patting his shoulder.
There was no intimate contact whatsoever.
"Friends, can we be a little more intimate...?" She seemed to have discovered something, and her speech quickened considerably.
"Uh, okay?"
"I've never had one, friend." Xia Lian looked somewhat disappointed.
"..."
Wenmo's throat tightened; he wanted to comfort her but didn't know what to say, so he could only pat her head.
"Wenmo".
"Um?"
Feeling the familiar warmth on her head, Xia Lian leaned closer to his back, raised her eyes, and cautiously asked, "Could you... be my friend?"
