Wenmo was woken up by the alarm clock.
Golden sunlight streamed into the room, bringing light to what was originally a dim space. If it weren't for this damned alarm clock, it might have been a beautiful scene.
He covered his head and casually turned off his phone alarm.
"Ugh, that's why I don't like going to class..." My mind was still blank; being "forced to turn on" wasn't a pleasant experience.
Turning around, Xia Lian was still asleep.
The girl's sleeping face was adorable because of its tranquility. Her long eyelashes trembled occasionally with her soft breathing, indicating that she was sleeping soundly.
He went to bed very late last night, and he was still a little uncomfortable with a girl next to him.
Wenmo gently pulled his hand out of hers; his palms were sweating from being wrapped in hers.
He got out of bed, put on his slippers, and tiptoed out of the door, being very careful throughout, afraid of waking Xia Lian from her sleep.
After washing up, Wenmo felt much more awake and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
A dozen minutes later, Xia Lian's eyelids twitched slightly in the room. A few seconds later, she slowly opened her eyes and sat on the bed, half asleep and half awake, rubbing her eyes sleepily.
Looking around, the person sleeping next to me was gone.
She stared blankly for a long time before she realized, "Wen Mo is gone..."
Blinking her eyes and looking at the pale sky outside the window, Xia Lian groggily got out of bed.
A faint aroma of rice wafted from the kitchen.
Following the smell, Xia Lian walked quietly to the kitchen and saw a familiar figure. Her previously dazed mind immediately cleared up.
"Wenmo".
"Hmm? You're awake?" Hearing the crisp voice behind him, Wen Mo subconsciously turned around and saw Xia Lian rubbing her eyes and leaning close to him. "Go wash up first, and then find a place to sit. We'll have breakfast in a bit."
"oh."
Xia Lian responded and ran to the bathroom to wash up obediently. After her face and teeth felt much cleaner, she jogged over and sat down at the dining table to wait.
A moment later, Wen Mo placed two bowls of freshly made porridge on the table and reminded her, "Let it cool down for a while, be careful it's hot."
Breakfast should be light. Wenmo prefers plain porridge, which is delicious enough with a little other seasoning.
"Do you like your porridge a little sweeter?" Wenmo asked.
Upon hearing this, Xia Lian nodded gently.
"I like it, especially sweet ones."
After receiving a reply, he sprinkled some white sugar into the porridge, stirred it until it was almost done, and then pushed the bowl of porridge in front of Xia Lian.
When the porridge was warm enough to eat, Xia Lian picked up the spoon and put a spoonful into her mouth.
"tasty."
Plain porridge is a very easy food to season; adding a little white sugar makes it a simple and delicious dish, and Xia Lian clearly likes this way of eating it.
"Isn't it delicious? Porridge is the most comforting thing to drink in the morning," Wen Mo said with a smile, while adding some white sugar to his own bowl, as he also preferred sweet things.
The bowl of porridge was soon eaten by the two of them.
"You seem to be in much better spirits today." He put down the bowl he was holding and looked at Xia Lian sitting next to him.
She looked much better today than before; even her usually listless eyes seemed more alert. I don't know why.
After she finished speaking, Xia Lian looked up in confusion, seemingly not noticing anything different about herself.
"Maybe it's because I slept with Wenmer... so I'm very happy."
“That’s not how you shorten a sentence! What do you mean by ‘slept with her’…” Wen Mo tapped her head speechlessly. “Also, whatever you do, don’t mention this to anyone else.”
"Why?"
"Because if you tell anyone, we won't be able to sleep together anymore."
Upon hearing this, Xia Lian, who was still in a state of confusion, immediately nodded obediently, her eyes even showing a hint of seriousness, "Then I won't tell anyone."
That's good.
“This is a secret between Wenmer and me…”
"Uh, it sounds strange, but you get the idea."
He was genuinely afraid that if this girl let her mouth open, she would blurt out everything, and in the end, he would be the one to suffer, perhaps even being taken away for human extermination.
"Uncle Hat, please let me explain!"
"You mean, this girl asked to sleep with you, and you were initially very reluctant, but you only reluctantly agreed in the end?"
"Yes, I'm doing a good deed."
"Oh ho! I haven't heard this version before! I'll listen to you tell me about it later in the office!"
"No, I don't want that kind of thing!"
Just thinking about it makes me tremble...
Wenmo left the dishes in the kitchen to wash when he came back in the evening; he had already changed his clothes and was leaning against the door.
When Xia Lian came out after changing her clothes, Wen Mo nodded in satisfaction.
She was wearing the same dress Wenmo had bought for her last time, paired with her new haircut from yesterday, making her look completely different from before.
If those lifeless, droopy eyes were a little more cheerful, they would probably be much more popular.
Or you could smile more.
Since they met, Wenmo has never seen her smile, not even a slight upturn of her lips. The few expressions she does have are almost always negative.
Xia Lian tilted her head in confusion when she saw him looking at her without saying anything.
"Oh, it's alright, let's go."
Wenmo realized his mistake awkwardly and turned to leave.
A dozen minutes later, the two strolled to the school gate. Only then did Xia Lian truly realize that they would be separated for several hours.
