"Did I just see Yin Tao and the others?" Wen Mo pondered, glancing back and feeling that he saw a very familiar figure.
But in the blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared into the end of the crowd.
“Yin Tao…?” Xia Lian became interested and slowly looked up to look around.
"I guess I just misread it." Wen Mo stopped dwelling on the question, pulled Xia Lian away from the bustling street, and headed home.
There were few people on the way home. Most Chinese people have no concept of Christmas. They usually do whatever they want and stay at home sleeping.
"You take a shower first, I'll shower later."
Wen Mo took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. He reached out and fanned himself to cool off. He had been out shopping and eating and was quite hot, so he was sweating a little.
Xia Lian nodded and took off her coat as well, revealing a pure white sweater underneath. Perhaps because she took it off too quickly, there was a faint static electricity, and her hair was curled up high.
She really likes white, I don't know why, maybe it's just a natural preference.
Whether it's the coat, the inner garment, or the shoes, they are all predominantly white. Then, Wen Mo was tasked with matching these clothes to accentuate the purity of the beautiful woman before him.
"Hmm...maybe I can buy some new clothes." Wen Mo pinched his chin, crossed his legs, and slumped casually on the sofa.
Perhaps noticing his gaze, Xia Lian stared blankly at him, her expression full of confusion. Then, as if she had thought of something, she pinched the corner of her sweater and lifted it up slightly.
"Ah, I didn't want to see this. You should go take a shower." Wen Mo quickly stopped her, waving his hand and putting his arm around Xia Lian's shoulder to help her into the bathroom.
He was already used to his girlfriend's personality traits and how he interacted with Xia Lian.
Although outsiders might find this girl troublesome, Wen Mo sees her as the most perfect being. Ultimately, it's the "white moonlight effect" at work; no matter what Xia Lian does, she's incredibly beautiful.
He could only be charmed by her innocent every move, making him feel like a fool, and he would occasionally let out strange "hehehe" laughs.
Just as Wen Mo was lost in thought, his cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
"What the heck..." He scratched his head, took out his phone and swiped the screen. As soon as he opened it, he saw several more boring videos in his family group chat.
These videos were all forwarded by Su Juan.
Every family has an elder who, upon seeing a video online that they believe makes a lot of sense, insists on sharing it in the family group chat so that everyone can see it.
Mom: Come and see for yourselves.
Mom: That makes a lot of sense.
Sure enough, before Wen Mo could even complain, his mother's message popped up on the screen, beeping twice at the bottom of the video.
Moreover, those videos are always considered to have no educational value by young people, so no young person would bother to watch them.
Wen Mo covered his forehead, speechless, but still replied with a "okay" in a very cooperative manner, and then glanced at the video titles.
The risks of starting your own business are rising rapidly!
I'm not starting a business.
Ten little-known facts every college student should know!
I haven't even started university yet.
Common scripted phrases used in honey trap scams!
I wasn't...
Wait a minute, this... seems kind of interesting.
Wen Mo raised an eyebrow, scrolled to the bottom of the list, glanced at the titles of the videos, and found that the videos inside were also very attractive to him.
It's about a pretty girl who needs help, and a foolish man who's very helpful goes to assist her, only to be swindled out of all his money.
"...Why does this sound so familiar?"
Wenmo couldn't help but complain, watching the last video about the honey trap several times over.
Just then, Xia Lian wiped her wet hair, her small feet, which were red and white from the heat, were in slippers. She picked up the hairdryer from the drawer and ran to the sofa, where she sat down and stared straight at him.
Do you want me to help you blow-dry your hair?
Wen Mo put down his phone and asked gently.
Xia Lian didn't say anything, but simply moved the hairdryer forward a step and nodded very seriously.
"Okay." Without much hesitation, Wen Mo took the hairdryer, skillfully turned on the heat, and rubbed Xia Lian's hair, blowing the warm air onto her head.
Xia Lian squinted, her gaze darting around, but she accidentally caught a glimpse of the corner of Wen Mo's phone. "Wen Mo, what's that?"
"Huh? You mean a honey trap?"
Wen Mo explained, his hands still moving, "It's a pretty realistic beauty scam. Basically, you put a pretty girl at the door and then people who want to take the bait take the bait, that's about it."
In reality, most honey traps are like this, taking advantage of the victim's kindness or lust to obtain illicit gains, and the success rate is extremely high.
To be honest, when Wen Mo first met Xia Lian, his wariness was genuine. Although he really wanted to help her, he still had to be cautious.
Fortunately, the result was good in the end.
"Hey, so what was your first impression of me?" Wen Mo suddenly became interested, and chuckled as he rubbed a strand of Xia Lian's hair until it was completely dry.
Xia Lian blinked, looking puzzled.
First impression?
She didn't speak, seemingly still thinking, before finally saying very seriously, "Wen Mo is very handsome."
That was indeed Xia Lian's first impression.
Wen Mo was somewhat surprised, even a little suspicious. He stared into her eyes for a long time, and seeing no clue, he continued to ask with some doubt, "Is there anything else...?"
"Also, I'm a little scared..." Xia Lian lowered her head.
"Are you scared?"
Xia Lian nodded, her fingers twisting together beneath her, stealing glances at Wen Mo's reaction. Seeing that he wasn't angry, she dared to continue, "Back then, I didn't know what kind of person Wen Mo was..."
Upon hearing this, Wen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he suddenly realized what was going on.
That's true. After all, it was their first meeting, and they didn't know each other well. She was a girl all alone in a foreign land. If her cousin, who she was living with, was a beast, she wouldn't even have the strength to resist. She wouldn't even have time to cry.
Fortunately, the initial fear dissipated considerably when I first saw Winmer's photo, because he was smiling happily and had a very delicate appearance, so he wasn't scary at all, at least not in appearance.
Wen Mo put down the hairdryer, helped smooth her hair, and then joked with a smile, "I was quite worried back then that you were a honey trap."
"But I am not."
"I know you're not. If you are, then I guess I'm just unlucky."
“Wenmo isn’t a bad person either.”
"How do you know I'm not a bad person? We had only just met back then," Wen Mo said with a smile.
Xia Lian hesitated for a long time before slowly uttering, "Because Wen Mo... is very handsome."
At least at this moment, Wenmer is very grateful to his parents for giving him such good looks.
