"Annoying, I'm ignoring them."
Wen Mo, who had been replying for a long time, was like a psychologist. He didn't even know that he had just posted a group photo and his phone was lagging at 99+.
Fortunately, it was New Year's Eve, and after a while of making a ruckus, everyone consciously shut up and stopped sending messages to bother the "newlyweds".
"It's finally quiet."
Wen Mo looked at the WeChat interface where the red dots were gone, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. He tossed his phone aside and hugged Xia Lian, lost in thought.
Xia Lian, however, had no time to pay attention to him at the moment, as she was busy with her phone.
"Hey, pay attention to me for once, stop staring at your phone." Wen Mo was a little annoyed. He leaned closer to take a look and saw that the girl and Yin Tao were chatting happily.
Seemingly sensing the warmth behind her, Xia Lian put down her phone, lay on the bed in a different position, nestled in his arms, and blinked her eyes adorably, "Wen Mo."
"Tsk, you finally remembered me?"
Xia Lian nodded, then pointed her phone upwards, "What does this mean?"
Looking in the direction she was pointing, I saw that Yin Tao had posted a New Year's greeting right at midnight.
“Sending New Year’s greetings right on time? I don’t think I’ve done that in a long time.” Wen Mo held her in his arms and pondered for a moment, then poked her cheek and said gently, “I almost forgot to tell you, Happy New Year.”
"well?"
Xia Lian tilted her head, clearly not quite understanding, but still mimicked his gesture and offered her blessings, her small voice nestled in her chest, crisp and clear.
"Happy New Year."
The New Year's Eve was quieter than usual. The two lay quietly for a while when Xia Lian suddenly moved. Her hand, which had been resting quietly by her side, slowly reached out towards Wen Mo as if out of control.
The movements were tinged with a mixture of bewilderment and curiosity, as if they were exploring a completely new and unknown territory.
Wen Mo noticed the movement beside him and turned his head. He saw Xia Lian staring at him with her clear, big eyes, her face expressionless. Her hand had already touched his arm and was gently squeezing it, as if she was feeling the muscle lines of his arm.
"What are you doing? Trying to molest me?" Wen Mo asked softly, somewhat puzzled but also amused.
Xia Lian blinked, tilted her head, and said innocently, "I want to touch it, it's very novel."
After she finished speaking, she moved her hand up a little further, touching Wen Mo's shoulder and patting it gently, as if to confirm something.
Wen Mo was amused by her innocent and naive appearance and did not stop her.
Seeing that he didn't object, Xia Lian became bolder. Her fingers slid down his shoulder to his cheek, gently touching his contours. The coolness of her fingertips made Wen Mo tremble slightly.
"Wen Mo's face is so hot." Xia Lian frowned. "Is Wen Mo sick?"
Wen Mo was both amused and exasperated. He reached out and took her mischievous little hand, explaining, "It's not that I'm sick, it's just... I feel embarrassed when you touch me like this."
"Can't I touch it?"
"...I didn't say it was impossible."
Xia Lian nodded as if she understood, but still didn't pull her hand away. She quietly lay back on the pillow, and after a while, her breathing gradually became steady, as if she had calmed down.
"Don't go any lower!"
...
The second day of class was very unusual.
Although the senior students did not have a holiday on New Year's Day, there was never a shortage of fun in the class, especially when Xiang Xiaonan and Qin Zhou entered the classroom at the same time, the cheers from everyone almost drowned out the entire teaching building.
"The golden couple has arrived!"
"Spending New Year's Eve together, how romantic!"
"Qin Zhou is amazing! He actually managed to win over Sister Nan!"
The constant "oh" sounds sounded cheeky, mostly from the boys egging them on, jumping around like monkeys, while the girls chatted about the two of them, occasionally covering their mouths and giggling, making the two who had just come in blush.
"Stop, stop arguing, everyone go and study..."
Xiang Xiaonan seemed like a different person; she even lowered her head and waved her hand coquettishly, then took a few steps to her seat, blushing.
Perhaps because they had never seen Xiang Xiaonan blush before, the boys around them were also a bit stunned. Especially since a girl like Xiang Xiaonan, who was originally quite carefree, actually had a shy side, the contrast was really striking.
Meanwhile, her boyfriend, Jun Qinzhou, seemed to have crashed, walking awkwardly as if infected with a virus, and shakily sitting down in a chair, staring blankly.
"Maybe we shouldn't post on WeChat Moments."
Xiao Nan lowered her head, so Qin Zhou couldn't see her expression clearly. From his perspective, he could only see her reddened earlobes and her muffled words.
"Wasn't this your suggestion?"
"That's the suggestion I made! But can't you just refuse?" Xiang Xiaonan glanced up at him, seemingly unintentionally.
Qin Zhou remained unmoved, took out a piece of paper, and quickly wrote several large characters on it.
"Stop arguing, let's fight."
Then he made a defensive gesture with his hands, just like a mischievous monkey.
"Pfft haha..."
Xiang Xiaonan was amused by his comical appearance, and her original shyness vanished instantly, returning her to her usual carefree and crazy personality.
"You want to fight me on our very first day together?"
"Forget it then, I'd better just focus on studying." Qin Zhou grinned mischievously, pulled a book out of the drawer, and started studying. "Um, aren't you nervous?"
What's there to be nervous about?
"...It's alright now. I knew you were just an exception yesterday."
They were still getting to know each other after becoming a couple, but everyone in the class was unsurprised, because in their eyes, these two seemed to be together no matter what they did.
