Ultimately, the bed at home is still the most comfortable.
Feeling exceptionally refreshed after the shower, Wen Mo gazed at the hazy bathroom door, the sound of running water inside particularly clear at that moment. He had resolved a major issue today.
What kind of relationship is this? Like an old married couple? Not really. Sometimes they blush for a long time when they hug, and a little bit of shyness is the limit.
More than physical contact, Wenmo looked forward to the future development of the two of them. She kicked off her slippers, put her hands behind her head, pulled the blanket up a little, and completely cleared her mind.
I haven't told my parents yet that I want to apply to a local university. I don't know what they'll think. They'll probably think I've lost my mind, haha.
But in order to stay by the side of this girl who lacked love and security, he felt that anything was worth it. He didn't want to see Xia Lian sad anymore, and he didn't want her to shed tears because of sadness anymore.
Sorry, Mom and Dad, I'm just love-struck.
"They might scold me, haha, scolding me would be the least of my worries." Wen Mo sat half-upright on the bed and made a self-deprecating remark, glancing at the bathroom door every now and then.
With a "click," thick fog rushed out along with the open bathroom door, and a pretty young woman walked out through the haze, looking innocently to the side.
"Are you done washing?"
"Mmm." Xia Lian nodded in response, walked to the balcony and threw the clothes into the laundry basket, then rolled onto the bed and huddled under the covers, moving closer to Wen Mo's waist.
"So warm..." With her eyes slightly narrowed, she lazily wrapped her arms around Wen Mo's waist.
Wen Mo chuckled, reached out and patted her back, pulling Xia Lian into his arms so she could lean against his chest.
The girl's freshly dried hair was a little frizzy, and the scent of shampoo kept wafting into her nostrils.
"I feel like I'm getting used to my current life," Wen Mo murmured.
From the initial difficulty in even speaking to now sharing a bed, only three or four months have passed in total. If we count from mid-August, it has already been four months.
It's really amazing that there's a girl who doesn't feel distant from me.
If I told people this, they'd probably think I was dreaming, haha. Life is like writing a novel; who knows if it's real or not?
"Wen Mo, you're spacing out." Xia Lian poked his chin until Wen Mo came back to his senses.
"I wasn't spacing out, I was just thinking about you."
"My...thing?" Xia Lian tilted her head, looking very puzzled.
Wenmo rested his chin on the top of her head, and the faint fragrance of her hair was very comforting.
"Yeah, I was wondering why you're so cute."
This kind of attribute is so rare. A naturally naive and emotionless girl, and I just happened to meet her. Only at times like this do I feel so grateful to my dad.
According to this girl, her father also paid for Aunt Zhou's funeral expenses and accompanied her throughout the burial. Now I understand why Lianbao respects her father so much.
I should really thank a capable elder for stepping forward to help, and even took her home to raise as my daughter... Unfortunately, I raised her as my wife.
Wenmo couldn't help but laugh whenever he thought about it.
Perhaps being scolded by your father isn't such a bad thing.
"Alright, let's go to sleep." Wen Mo changed his position and lay down, and Xia Lian obediently stayed beside him, snuggling in a little. "Goodnight, Lianbao."
Wenmo seemed to have gotten used to calling her that, and didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
"I feel like Wenmer... is treating me like a child."
"You are a child, and strictly speaking, I am a child too."
"But I'm already...sixteen years old."
“I’m almost two years older than you; anyone younger than me is a child.”
"How could this happen..."
The two snuggled in bed, talking about childish things, until they got sleepy. Then they hugged each other tighter and said goodnight.
...
When Wen Mo woke up, it was already mostly daylight. He sat up with his eyes half-closed and groggily pulled his phone out from under his pillow to check the time.
"Holy crap?! How come it's so late?!"
This startled him awake, and he hurriedly tried to wake Xia Lian beside him, but he missed.
"well?"
I pulled back the covers, but the person next to me was gone.
Just as Wen Mo was wondering, a faint aroma wafted from outside the room, seemingly coming from the kitchen.
He got up, put on his slippers, and walked step by step toward the kitchen. He peeked inside and saw a petite figure diligently working on the stove.
Xia Lian was wearing a matching set of pajamas, her fair neck was visible from the back of her neck, and her expression was very calm, completely unaware that someone was already standing behind her.
Wenmo never knew she could be so adorable when cooking by herself.
She would hum a little tune, swaying left and right, her ponytail bobbing behind her as she gently twisted her waist, making Wen Mo's heart pound.
"well……?"
Xia Lian looked down at the extra hands on her waist and a head resting on her right shoulder.
"Why are you up so early today? I was worried I'd be late and didn't even have time to make breakfast," Wen Mo said slowly.
I cooked noodles this morning. They were very light, with a sprinkle of salt and chopped green onions. I also chopped two small green vegetables and a sausage, cracked an egg into the pot, and let the egg yolk coat the noodles evenly. Even a simple home-cooked meal tasted especially delicious with my beautiful companion by my side.
"Because I want Wenmo to sleep a little longer."
Xia Lian lowered her head weakly. She had deliberately gotten up so early today and didn't wake Wen Mo, just so that he could lie down for a little longer.
Normally, Wen Mo would get up early in the morning to make breakfast, and Xia Lian would be able to eat something hot just as she woke up.
Everyone says Lianbao is stupid, but she's not stupid at all. She sees everything, so that she can do the same thing in the future to repay the person she likes.
"That's so kind of you. I really have to thank you." Wen Mo grinned and pressed his cheek against hers, giving it a couple of firm rubs.
"Because I will be Wenmer's wife in the future... so I need to be virtuous."
Xia Lian's expression was serious, but she felt a little embarrassed as she spoke, and her earlobes, which were originally pale from the cold, now had a faint hint of color.
"If you're shy, don't say it. It's embarrassing to say such things to me so early in the morning." Wen Mo was also a little embarrassed, but he still pretended to be calm and continued to hug her waist.
"But what I'm saying is the truth."
"I know, I know, but I'm still a little shy." Wen Mo buried his nose in the back of Xia Lian's neck and gave her a light kiss, causing the girl in front of him to tremble.
It's a little itchy.
"The noodles are going to get soggy..."
"It's okay, let me hold you a little longer."
