"Seriously, bro? You're going all in?"
When Wen Mo returned from get out of class, Qin Zhou clung to him like a slug, chattering incessantly with his mouth wide open.
"Why would I lie to you? And don't use the word 'play,' I'm very serious." Wen Mo reached out and pushed him away.
When it comes to relationships, he's always been decisive; if he likes someone, he likes them, and he's never thought about "just playing around."
"Oh, I was just curious." Qin Zhou squeezed in beside him with a grin, suddenly recalling the phone call he made during the summer vacation.
I heard a girl's voice inside, saying something like "sleep together." I had completely forgotten about it, but now that it's been brought up, I remember everything.
So, the seeds of this were sown back then?
Holy crap, they have orthopedics!
Qin Zhou has never had any contact with Xia Lian so far, and doesn't even know what she looks like. The only time he saw her was from behind.
"Hey, hey, won't your dad beat you to death if he finds out about this?" Qin Zhou was just like a country auntie sitting by a small bridge eating melons, the kind of small, organized group of aunties that are unique to village intelligence networks.
"I dare to say it so openly and honestly because I was honest with him."
"You told the whole class?" Qin Zhou was shocked.
"How could that be? Am I crazy? Would I let the whole class know I'm an orthopedic surgeon?" Wen Mo rolled her eyes. There was no point in arguing with this idiot.
Qin Zhou nodded in sudden realization, leaning on the table and glancing this way, occasionally bringing his eyes closer to look, as if trying to discern something from his face.
"No matter how you look at me, I'm still handsome."
"No, I was just wondering how you could do that."
"What kind of talk is that? Apart from holding hands occasionally, we've always had a clear conscience about everything else!" Wen Mo patted his chest, looking very honest.
Qin Zhou raised an eyebrow. Looking at his confident expression, he seemed quite sincere. He had never seen Wen Mo so candid before.
In reality, Wen Mo was already sweating profusely; all his calm demeanor was just an act.
A clear conscience my ass—ah.
They've been sleeping together for almost three months now, since the summer vacation started. Honestly, adding a baby to the middle of the bed wouldn't feel out of place.
But that's where the problem lies!
Hugging and kissing all day long, he has nothing to do with being innocent anymore. But at least he should know how to pretend in front of others, otherwise he might really be afraid that someone will call the police and take him out for euthanasia.
Qin Zhou pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with any useful information. In the end, he could only nod and accept the fact. He leaned on the table and occasionally tugged at Wen Mo's hair, saying, "I'm a little envious of you, kid."
Hearing this, Wen Mo was amused and slapped away Qin Zhou's groping hand.
Envious of me?
You envy me for being an orthopedic surgeon, huh? Well, you certainly have good taste.
Honestly, this isn't about orthopedics. If Xia Lian had a different identity, a more ordinary one, the two of them might be more honest with each other.
But then again, if they weren't cousins, they probably wouldn't even know if they would have met.
"I want to be in a relationship." Qin Zhou sighed softly, looking melancholy.
"Want to date? Easy, just find a girl you like and confess to her, and she might just say yes," Wen Mo said casually.
Honestly, Qin Chang isn't ugly at all; on the contrary, he's actually quite good-looking. It's just that he's always slacking off and doesn't take things seriously. Plus, with his Death Bush curly hair, he looks like a social misfit.
"I don't have a girl I like." Qin Zhou shook his head, lying motionless on the table like a dried-up dead fish, only his back was still slowly rising and falling.
"Could it be that you like men?" Wen Mo subconsciously took a step back and crossed his arms over his chest.
"……roll."
The two had made joking with each other a daily routine, chatting about all sorts of random topics. As for romance, it was just something they talked about casually, as he knew Qin Zhou wasn't really interested in it.
Wen Mo twirled the black pen on his finger twice, then stopped, pointed the pen tip at you, and said, "Isn't there a very cute and pretty girl right next to you?"
"Who is it?" Qin Zhou looked up.
Following the direction his pen tip was pointing, I looked to the other end of the classroom and saw Xiao Nan sitting among several girls, giggling.
This girl gets along well with everyone, she can even chat with a dog. Plus, she's really cute and has a kind of inexplicable charm. Both boys and girls like to talk and chat with her.
However, while she had good relationships with everyone, her relationship with Wen Mo and Qin Zhou was on a higher level, so she ate with them every day.
“Xiao Nan, isn’t she quite pretty?” Wen Mo gestured with his lips, indicating that he should take a closer look.
She gradually grew her short, ear-length hair from her first year of high school to shoulder-length medium hair. Although she has a very outgoing and carefree personality, she doesn't skimp on proper hair care. Her jet-black hair is like a waterfall, and you can often smell a fragrance about it.
Xiang Xiaonan has a small face, the kind that looks like a baby's. She's easily mistaken for a middle school student when she walks down the street. Her white cartoon hoodie and fleece-lined sweatpants make it clear to everyone that she's a pretty girl.
"Um?"
Seemingly noticing the gazes of the two people on the other side of the classroom, he winked at Xiao Nan, then waved with a grin.
"See? She's been really good to us." Wen Mo shrugged. The implication was clear from the way things had been said.
Qin Zhou did not answer immediately, but observed for a while, first raising his eyebrows slightly, then lowering them, and finally shaking his head.
"She's different."
"How is she different? Is she missing an arm or a leg or something?" Wen Mo retorted.
"It's just... it's simply different. Ugh, you wouldn't understand even if I told you." Qin Zhou turned his face away. The young man who was just talking about love suddenly became much quieter. After thinking for a while, he turned back and said in a flat tone, "We're almost like brothers now, I don't have that kind of mind for that."
He succinctly revealed the nature of the relationship between the three, stating that it had remained unchanged since the beginning of high school.
"Isn't that great? It shows he's close to you, something other guys would envy." Wen Mo nudged Qin Zhou's arm with his elbow.
"You don't know anything. I really didn't mean it that way."
What do you mean?
"Well, that's what I mean... dating her." Qin Zhou suddenly became much more stammering, even his eyes unconsciously trying to hide his true feelings.
Hearing this, Wen Mo sighed softly and shook his head.
This kid is hopeless. She's already agreed to pretend to be your boyfriend. Anyone with a brain knows she likes you a lot.
