Unlike other schools, Linchuan Middle School does not follow the system of adjusting work days. The holidays are scheduled on a specific day, and that is the day of the holiday.
The week's classes had barely started when the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived as scheduled. In fact, two days before the festival, some shops had already put out mooncakes at their doors. Most people slowed down their pace of life on this day and enjoyed the hard-won holiday.
"Wenmo, I'm so sleepy..."
"Stop complaining, I'm exhausted too." Hearing Xia Lian's sleepy tone, Wen Mo rubbed her head, got up to wash his face and brush his teeth.
The two cousins got up much earlier than usual. At 9 a.m., they rubbed their sleepy eyes and forced themselves to get up and get dressed, even though they were very tired.
Although going home is a very common thing for Wen Mo, today is different. There is a little girl by his side. His father has met her many times, but his mother has never met Xia Lian.
Dressing up nicely can also leave a good impression.
Xia Lian yawned, looking like she hadn't woken up yet, while Wen Mo forced himself to stay awake and helped her braid her hair from behind.
"Don't fall asleep, you'll be wide awake on the way." Wen Mo was also sleepy, but there was nothing he could do. This girl never knew how to dress up, so he had to do it himself.
After braiding his hair, he turned to Xia Lian, took a hair clip to hold back the stray hairs on the other side, and then used a curling iron to slightly curl his bangs, instantly giving his originally plain bangs a more airy feel.
"It's so itchy."
Xia Lian's voice carried a hint of coquetry as she reached out and hugged Wen Mo, who was helping her curl her hair.
"Just bear with it a little longer, it'll be over soon."
Wen Mo comforted her, his hands moving with perfect care as he gently curled her bangs, putting down the curling iron after about several tens of seconds.
He clapped his hands, looked at the girl's brand-new hairstyle, put his hands on his hips, and announced that the mission was accomplished.
Xia Lian already had a lot of hair, and Wen Mo braided the back of her hair into a single braid, making it appear less heavy. Her bangs also became exceptionally lively, and with a gentle breeze, you could see them swaying lightly on her forehead.
Seemingly surprised by the perfection of his work, he nodded in satisfaction, thinking that becoming a hairstylist might be a good career path for him in the future.
"Alright, go change your clothes." Wen Mo patted the girl clinging to him.
"Just a little longer..."
Xia Lian's voice was weak and listless, as if she could fall asleep in his arms at any moment.
"If I hold you for a little longer, you'll probably fall asleep again. Be good, you can hold me however you want when we get back."
"oh."
Xia Lian obediently got up and returned to her room, but her eyes were still slightly closed, not at all like she was awake, and her body was still swaying a little.
Wenmo also felt a bit sleepy because of her, but he still forced himself to stay awake, went to his room, picked out a dark-colored outfit, and changed into it, which made him look more mature.
But with that still-childish face, he couldn't look very mature. He scratched his head, but he just couldn't pull off the mature man look of his father.
"Forget it, let's just leave it at that. We're going back to our own home anyway." It's just a family reunion dinner, there's no need to be so formal. Wen Mo simply stopped thinking about anything else, closed the wardrobe, and walked out of the room.
Wen Mo sat in the living room for almost five minutes, glancing at Xia Lian's room from time to time, but she hadn't finished changing her clothes yet.
"That's not right. We told her in advance what clothes to wear. It shouldn't take this long to change clothes, right?"
Wen Mo was a little puzzled. He stood in front of Xia Lian's bedroom door, hesitating, but he didn't dare to go in. After waiting for a few more minutes, he gently called Xia Lian's name a few times, but he didn't get a response.
Seemingly thinking that the girl had fallen asleep again, Wen Mo let out a long breath, subconsciously turned the doorknob, and quietly went inside.
"Little Lianlian, where is she? Ah, so she's here... Holy crap...!"
Upon seeing what was happening, Wen Mo quickly looked away.
The girl's fair skin was exposed to the air, her pink cheeks turned to one side, and she was still clutching the dress she was going to change into, her chest rising and falling gently with her breathing.
She was indeed asleep, but I didn't expect her to fall asleep halfway through changing her clothes...
Wen Mo dared not look up. Xia Lian was almost naked, only covered by a thin white undergarment. Her thin lips trembled slightly as she slept soundly.
A few meters away, Wen Mo called her name several times, but the girl still showed no signs of waking up; in fact, she even turned over.
Why am I sleeping so soundly at this particular time of day?!
Wen Mo silently complained to himself, but had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up to her, gently shaking her shoulders a few times.
After her name was called a few more times, Xia Lian's body trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes slowly opened, though her expression was still somewhat dazed.
"Finally awake." Wen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to speak, the girl suddenly hugged his waist and pressed her whole body against him.
"Wenmo, let's sleep together..."
Her voice was very relaxed as she rubbed her cheek against Wenmo's waist.
Wen Mo's mind had completely gone blank at that moment. When he came to his senses, he had already made a flick with his fingers and hit Xia Lian on the forehead.
"Awoo..."
She clutched her head in pain, looking at me with a pitiful expression.
"Keep changing, we'll be leaving soon."
Wen Moqiang tried to sound serious as he spoke, but his heart was still pounding. The girl responded with a wronged sigh and started changing her clothes.
