"Dr. Li...?"
Looking at the bright red three hundred yuan in her hand, Xia Lian was clearly still in a daze. Just as she was about to chase after him to return it, her wrist was grabbed by someone.
Wen Mo followed behind her, and when Xia Lian turned around, he shook his head to indicate that he should not chase after her.
"Keep it."
“But…” Xia Lian hesitated, her fingers tightly gripping the three hundred yuan.
“It’s alright, this is Dr. Li’s kind gesture. He hopes you can have a better life in the future.” Wen Mo thought for a moment, then smiled and explained, “If you accept this money, he will feel more at ease and happier.”
"..."
Xia Lian didn't reply and stopped walking.
At the corner of the corridor, Dr. Li turned and slowly walked towards the end. Just before leaving, he seemed to glance at Xia Lian one last time, noticing the worry on her face. Then he smiled gently, turned around, and disappeared.
"Come visit Dr. Li again when you have time. He's a very good person," Wen Mo said slowly, looking at his departing figure with a somewhat lost expression.
The two young boy and girl stood still for a while before moving.
Sometimes, you can roughly determine whether a person is good or bad just by your first impression. Dr. Li is such a pure and good doctor. After Xia Lian's mother passed away, he gently told the little girl who had lost everything that it was not her fault.
He would also worry about Xia Lian from the bottom of his heart after she left.
It's rare to find someone who feels genuinely happy and relieved to see her living a good life. I'm so glad that Dr. Li is Xia Lian's mother's attending physician.
The two lingered in the hospital for a while before leaving.
"Not everything around me is bad."
Not long after leaving the hospital, Xia Lian looked back at the huge white building behind her and felt a faint warmth rise in her heart.
Mom is great, Dr. Li is great, my uncle and aunt are great, and...
"Wenmo".
"Huh?" Hearing his name called, Wen Mo turned his head and looked at him in confusion.
Xia Lian didn't speak, but calmly looked into the other person's eyes until she was mesmerized, and those clear eyes were reflected in the girl's pupils.
"You are a very, very good person."
"...Why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Wen Mo felt a little strange, but then she thought it was nothing and smiled along with her. "Yeah, I'm a good person. I've taken such good care of you, so shouldn't you thank me?"
"Thank you." Xia Lian said earnestly.
"...I didn't ask you to actually thank me."
"oh."
Xia Lian's eyes flickered slightly. She put the three hundred yuan that Dr. Li had given her into her pocket, intending to give it all to Wen Mo later.
Seemingly seeing through her thoughts, Wen Mo looked away and focused on the road ahead. "Keep the money yourself, you don't need to give it to me."
"Why?"
"Keep it for yourself."
Xia Lian tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't have anything to buy."
Wen Mo was speechless, so he raised his hand and flicked her forehead.
"Aww..."
"Then we can keep it as part of the dowry, right? The money won't get stolen if it's just sitting there." Wen Mo casually made up a story, not taking it to heart.
"oh."
The girl responded blankly, grasping Wen Mo's hand. The warmth of his palm grew stronger, and a cool breeze brushed past her ears. Xia Lian felt a little cold. She slightly raised her scarf with her slender white fingers, covering most of her face, leaving only her blushing ear tips exposed.
Are you shy?
"No."
"I don't believe it." Wen Mo shrugged, looking unconvinced.
Xia Lian didn't answer, leaning against his arm. Her breath seeped through her scarf, creating a faint white mist. Her long eyelashes trembled with the movement of her eyes. Half of her face was buried in the scarf, making it difficult to hear her words.
The most beautiful moment in life, Wen Mo believes, is watching the girl he likes blush and her heart race in front of him, occasionally letting out a few coquettish whimpers. Unfortunately, his darling doesn't know how to be coquettish; she just listens to him blankly and does whatever he says.
“You can be a little coquettish sometimes.” Wen Mo kicked a pebble on the side of the road, sending it flying far away and rolling around.
"Acting coquettishly?" Xia Lian didn't quite understand.
"It's just... sometimes you can ignore what I say and do what you want to do."
Wenmer gestured with his hands for a moment and then gave another example.
For example, the way Yin Tao and Ye Qingzhou interacted was almost like her being coquettish. Every time Ye Qingzhou wanted to eat something else, Yin Tao would say, "No, no! I just want to eat this..." and then look at him pitifully.
Although we don't know Ye Qingzhou's perspective, from an outsider's point of view, it must be quite adorable.
"I don't want that." Xia Lian thought for a moment and shook her head.
"Why?"
Xia Lian was simple-minded to begin with, and her words were very straightforward. She blurted out without thinking, "I always feel that... it's silly."
“Very good, I’ll tell Yin Tao later that you actually called her stupid.” Wen Mo said with a wicked smile.
Upon hearing this, Xia Lian, whose expression had remained calm, trembled slightly.
"No, don't tell her..."
She grabbed Wenmo's arm and shook it.
"I won't listen. I'll send a WeChat message right now." Wen Mo pretended to take out his phone and swiped his finger randomly across the screen, but the screen was actually black.
"Please, please don't say it...!"
Xia Lian's eyes trembled slightly. She looked up and her little mouth pursed pitifully. Her gaze towards Wen Mo became aggrieved. She hugged his arm directly, her soft body swaying, sticking to him like a slime.
"Please don't say it...?"
Wen Mo put on a cold face, but when he saw that Xia Lian was really about to cry, he put on a cold face and returned to his usual gentle face.
"I was just kidding, I didn't send it." He reached out and patted her little head, a sly smile playing on his lips. "See? You can be cute too, isn't that adorable?"
After she finished speaking, Xia Lian raised her head blankly and stared for a long time before realizing that she had been played.
Almost subconsciously, she puffed out her cheeks like an angry chipmunk, then lowered her head and shoved it hard against Wen Mo's chest, making him almost vomit blood.
"Pfft... Holy crap, are you a Squirtle?"
Wen Mo muttered a complaint, then clutched his chest and coughed.
"You are bad."
Xia Lian didn't come to comfort him. Instead, she puffed out her cheeks and sulked to herself. After a while, she secretly glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.
"Are you injured?" she asked with some concern.
Wen Mo nodded, his expression one of wanting to cry but having no tears, and pointed to his chest.
"My heart aches so much..." in a physical sense.
