"Also, when you make phone calls at night, try not to make a sound," Wen Mo carefully instructed, even though the content of his instruction wasn't exactly serious. "Otherwise, if you're discovered... it will be very dangerous."
"Very dangerous...?"
“That’s right, it’s extremely dangerous.” Wen Mo said with an air of seriousness, his expression becoming increasingly alarmist.
Actually, he was the only one in danger, because no matter how Wen Mo explained, he would be the one who got criticized and beaten in the end, while Xia Lian was always a well-behaved and obedient little girl.
Just like at the end of the second chapter of this book, when the old man curses, "You beast!", um... it feels like it's really going to come true.
Wen Mo shuddered, stopping herself from thinking the worst. The more she thought about it, the more she felt like she was really being unreasonable, even though she was the one who initiated sleeping with her...
Swallowing hard, Wen Mo plopped down on the bed and bounced a couple of times. After thinking it over, he wondered if he should just not let her sleep in her own room tonight.
Seemingly having made up his mind, he tentatively spoke.
"Um, Xiao Lian."
Xia Lian's attention shifted to Wen Mo, her big eyes blinking rapidly.
Seeing her look over, Wen Mo paused, then cautiously continued, "I was saying, how about tonight..."
"tonight?"
Xia Lian tilted her head and repeated it blankly.
"Tonight...you go back, go back..."
He was stuck, unable to utter the remaining words, especially when Xia Lian was staring at him with those innocent big eyes. How could he possibly say it...!
Moreover, if I were to say it out loud, it would be obvious that I wanted to avoid her, and I didn't even dare to imagine how upset that girl would be.
"Let's go back to your room and sleep."
The last words he uttered were unrecognizable even to Wenmer himself; they were not what he intended to express at all.
Xia Lian paused for a few seconds, but still obediently nodded, "Okay."
I just don't understand why he seemed to have such difficulty speaking just now, as if he had made a huge decision.
"Wenmo was acting really strange just now."
"Because I tried, I really tried..." Wen Mo held his head, hoping no one would scold him for being born out of wedlock, because he really couldn't bring himself to say the rest... it was too hurtful.
"Effort, what...?"
"It's okay, let's go back to your room to sleep." Wen Mo sighed. "Otherwise, your room will soon be covered in dust, since no one has slept there for so long."
Patting Xia Lian's head, the two went to the next room.
The room remains as simple as ever, with the furnishings exactly the same. The last time I came here was when I helped Xia Lian get her underwear.
Unlike in novels, a room that a girl has lived in for a long time will not develop a so-called "girlish smell." Perhaps it's just because she hasn't lived there long enough?
"You could actually buy more things you like for the room, like plush toys, rugs, wallpaper, posters, and other decorations," Wen Mo couldn't help but say. The room was far too plain; who would have thought that a lovely girl lived there?
Xia Lian shook her head. "Those things are very expensive... and they're not very useful."
"Uh, I see."
Wenmo scratched his head. It turned out that this girl was a pragmatist; she only bought things that were useful to her.
He didn't know that this was just a habit Xia Lian had developed later in life. When she was in junior high school, her family didn't have much money, and she was always very careful with her money when buying things. She would wash and wear a piece of clothing repeatedly.
Few girls dislike pretty things; who doesn't want to look beautiful? But for the sake of life and her mother, this girl had no other choice.
"I was thinking of buying you some things to decorate," Wen Mo said casually.
But before she knew it, Xia Lian's eyes lit up immediately after she said that. She had just thought that buying decorations was meaningless.
Noticing the large eyes staring intently at him, Wen Mo subconsciously took a few steps back. "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?"
The girl didn't speak, but her eyes revealed a hint of guilt as she obediently sat on the edge of the bed, glancing up every now and then.
In her mind, if it's Wenmo, she'll feel that whatever she buys is meaningful and practical.
Seeing Xia Lian's expression, Wen Mo paused for a few seconds, then grinned, "Didn't you just say you didn't need anything impractical? What, are you going back on your word now?"
He smiled knowingly, sat down next to Xia Lian, and deliberately said the opposite of what he meant, wanting to see the girl's reaction.
Upon hearing this, Xia Lian's cheeks flushed slightly. She moved closer to Wen Mo, tugging at his clothes with her small hand, and her usually emotionless voice became more coquettish.
"no the same……"
Seeing that she was beginning to open up, Wen Mo shrugged and stopped teasing her, saying with a smile, "Alright, I'll go buy some online."
Anyway, if she needs anything, he will basically provide it. Wen Mo still loves this little girl very much.
"Thank you, Wenmer."
"I've told you so many times, you don't need to thank me," Wen Mo said helplessly. "People who are close to each other usually don't say thank you; it just creates distance."
Upon hearing this, Xia Lian thought for a moment and nodded seriously.
Because I like Wenmo, I can't create distance between us, so I can't say thank you.
I've memorized it all.
It's funny, really. Just a few hours ago, these two people were saying they liked each other, but now they're sitting on the same bed chatting casually.
Perhaps no one can figure out the thought processes of these two people anymore.
Wen Mo didn't know how he truly viewed this girl. If it was from a family perspective, then it was acceptable. But if subconsciously he was looking at Xia Lian with a different perspective... wouldn't he be doing something extremely sinful under the guise of family?
Just like now, Xia Lian was lying next to him, holding his hand and closing her eyes.
Wen Mo was silent for a moment, then spoke gently, "Want to sleep? I'll turn off the light then."
"Mmm..." Xia Lian let out a soft moan.
I reached out and turned off the bedside lamp. The room was pitch black, and I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. I could only hear each other breathing.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, the moonlight outside the window was exceptionally bright, casting a faint glow into the room. In the gentle moonlight, one could vaguely see that the girl's eyes had opened at some point, and her soft gaze was fixed on Wen Mo.
"What's wrong?"
“I like it, Winmer.”
“…I know, you just said that too.” Wen Mo turned over, no longer daring to look at the girl, his heart pounding louder than he had imagined. “Go to sleep early, goodnight.”
The girl moved closer and reached out to grab the hem of his shirt.
"Okay, goodnight..."
