"It's so uncomfortable...it's so painful..."
I like you so much...
"Ugh..."
Wen Mo suddenly opened his eyes, his chest heaving with rapid breathing, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his body.
"Dream?"
Slowly sitting up, I finally snapped out of my dream. Everything felt so real, as if we had truly confessed our love to each other.
Wenmo's expression was rather grim. Nothing had changed when he woke up; it was as if he had just had a normal nap.
"It really was just a dream? That can't be, right?" He looked disappointed, reached out and rubbed his messy hair, then turned his gaze to the girl beside him.
Xia Lian was fast asleep, her eyes trembling slightly, her soft lips parted slightly, and a soft murmur escaped her lips.
"Boy friend……"
Great, it's not a dream!
Wen Mo clenched his fists and waved them in the air from time to time. The joy on his face was almost indescribable. He only knew that since yesterday, the two of them had really become a couple.
"I was so scared. I thought nothing had happened yesterday."
Thinking back on yesterday's events, confessing in the rain did seem romantic, but upon closer reflection on the details, the shy lines and the emotional expressions made Wen Mo, the person involved, blush.
Okay, how embarrassing...
Thankfully it wasn't a dream, so this is the best thing ever. As for the shame, so be it.
Looking up at Xia Lian, the flutter in his heart had been pounding since he woke up, just like a scene from a comic book or novel.
If we were to talk about this in a work of art, what would happen after a confession?
Hmm... it should jump directly to ten years later, time suddenly speeds up, everyone goes their separate ways and finds a job, some get married, some buy a house, and the two main characters have to be the slowest couple to get married.
Looking back, everyday life remains the same.
Every morning begins with making breakfast, and then I go to the room to wake up little Lian.
"Xiao Lian, Xiao Lian...! Class is about to start." Wen Mo reached out and placed his hand on the girl's shoulder, gently shaking her twice until Xia Lian slowly opened her eyes.
Still looking like she hadn't slept, Xia Lian rubbed her sleepy eyes, her mind still in standby mode, needing several minutes to fully activate.
Wenmo suddenly felt like laughing. Life after they started dating seemed no different from usual.
Just as he was thinking this, Xia Lian shook her head from side to side twice, her eyes regained their brightness, she blinked, and blankly stretched out her hands.
"Cousin, give me a hug."
Hmm, it seems there are some differences.
"Yes, ma'am."
Wen Mo smiled and pulled her into his arms. The feeling of her soft body against his was very comfortable, especially since the girl was already very light.
He was too happy; the man was already immersed in fantasies about the future, feeling too lightheaded.
After cuddling for a while, Wen Mo reluctantly released the soft creature in his arms and pushed her into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.
A beautiful day begins with a hug.
Unfortunately, things won't be so carefree once you get to school. Just thinking about it makes Wenmo feel inexplicably heartbroken. Other couples can do whatever they want in school.
We have to sneak around like thieves to date, where can we find justice?
"I believe that one day we will be able to openly declare in front of everyone that we are lovers, and that day will definitely come..."
Wen Mo muttered to himself as he placed the breakfast on the table.
...
For the first half of their journey to school, the two children held hands as usual. When they were almost near the school, they understood each other and let go of each other's hands, but there was still a lingering affection in their eyes as they looked at each other.
"I want to continue holding hands." Xia Lian stared straight at her, her innocent eyes filled with eagerness.
"There are too many people here, we can't hold hands."
"Oh." Xia Lian lowered her head with a wronged look, and could only reach out and grab the hem of his clothes, hiding behind Wen Mo just like when they first met.
Just as they were about to enter the school gate, Xia Lian suddenly let go of his hand and looked up at the convenience store at the school gate.
Is there anything you'd like to buy?
"The teacher requested that I buy a workbook." She took out her phone; Xia Lian was now quite adept at using her phone to make payments.
"Then let's buy it. Do you still have some money?"
"Um."
Xia Lian nodded and took small steps into the convenience store. From Wen Mo's perspective, he could see her searching inside.
"Yo!"
Until a familiar slap landed on his back, making Wen Mo grimace and take two steps back, he knew without even looking who had done it.
"Couldn't you greet me a little more gently every time we meet? Do you only feel happy when you slap me?"
"Hehe, sorry, I'm just used to it."
She stuck out her tongue playfully and winked at Xiao Nan, but there was no hint of apology in her words or actions. "Why do I only see you? Where did Xiao Lian go?"
"I'll buy something inside and come out in a bit."
Wen Mo gestured towards the convenience store, and only straightened up after the pain in his back had subsided considerably. That slap was really hard; he really didn't know where this girl got such strength.
"Hey, hey." Xiang Xiaonan reached out and poked his arm, making a gossipy face, "How are things going between you and her lately? Have you taken anything further?"
"...Well, I don't know how to say it."
Wen Mo pinched his chin, unsure whether he should tell her that they were already a couple, especially since he had already confided his troubles to Xiang Xiaonan.
This is good news, and perhaps it's worth telling her.
"We...we got together yesterday."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiang Xiaonan suddenly widened her eyes, covered her mouth, and then patted Wen Mo's back hard.
"Great! You acted so quickly!"
"You're still taking pictures of me! Don't you know how strong you are?" Wen Mo instinctively dodged backward, only to bump into someone.
"Huh?"
The two looked back at the same time and saw a girl with a pale face staring straight at them, holding a newly bought workbook in her hand. The original luster in her eyes gradually disappeared, leaving only empty pupils.
"Good morning, Sister Xiaonan."
Xia Lian obediently greeted him with a "Good morning," but the expression on her face showed no sign of genuine hello.
The next second, the girl narrowed her eyes slightly, placed her entire schoolbag in Wen Mo's arms, and patted it gently.
“Wenmo usually helps me carry my bag… He’s so good to me.”
Xia Lian spoke without expression, boasting about how good Wen Mo was to her. Her indifferent tone revealed no joy. She clung to him, never leaving his side, even at the school gate.
"Um... goodbye."
Wen Mo chuckled twice, said goodbye, and turned to leave with Xia Lian.
Oh no, Lianbao is angry.
