Sitting on the sofa, Wen Mo realized that he had said something very embarrassing, and the person he was talking about was standing in front of him, with his mother watching the scene. He wanted to explain but felt extremely awkward.
He and Xia Lian had never mentioned the word "love" to each other.
It's not that I feel unworthy, but I just feel embarrassed. We're both still like kids, so how can we talk about loving each other? We usually just express our feelings like "I like you" or "I like you".
Su Juan loves watching plays and cares a lot about her son's life.
Looking up at Xia Lian, who was standing dumbfounded at the bathroom door after taking a shower, she raised her hand and greeted her with a smile, "Don't just stand there, come and drink this glass of milk."
After she finished speaking, Xia Lian obediently moved her feet and carefully sat down next to Su Juan. She seemed a little nervous, as she tightly gripped the bath towel in her hand, causing a few wrinkles.
"Yes, drink it quickly." Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Wen Mo awkwardly handed over the milk with a smile, "Otherwise it will get cold and be a waste of time."
"I heated the milk myself, why are you being so attentive?"
Su Juan glared at him, but didn't say anything more.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with the two of them dating. They were already dating, so what could happen?
He also saw through Wen Mo's words and realized his son's true feelings. Since he genuinely liked this girl, then let him pursue her. Let him pursue her wholeheartedly.
Young people always like to try new and unconventional things.
I understand, I understand.
Besides, Xia Lian is a good girl, and Su Juan is even worried that her son might not be good enough for her.
Look at that little face, so delicate and beautiful. After being cared for by Wen Mo for several months, her face has finally gained some weight, unlike when she first came to the Wen family when she was so skinny. Her face is so tender that it looks like you could squeeze water out of it.
Furthermore, although she may be a bit timid and speak slowly, she is a normal girl most of the time and always eager to do household chores.
qualified.
As for whether or not you're worried that this is puppy love.
You call this puppy love? How can two top students being together be called puppy love? This is called exchanging study tips.
Hey, just don't start hugging me after exchanging a few words.
Xia Lian sipped the hot milk slowly, a few milk stains on her lips, like a white mustache.
Yes, Whitebeard.
"You got milk on your face, haha." Wen Mo joked, casually grabbing a tissue from the table, folding it, and wiping Xia Lian's mouth.
Halfway through wiping, she suddenly remembered that there seemed to be someone else next to her. When she turned around, Su Juan had already gotten up and was preparing to go back to her room as if nothing had happened.
Wen Mo awkwardly clutched the tissue, his hand frozen in mid-air, unsure whether to extend it or retract it.
"Go ahead and wipe it, I didn't see it anyway." Su Juan rolled her eyes and poked his head with her finger, speechless.
"Oh, it's good that you didn't see it." Wen Mo then continued to wipe his mouth.
Xia Lian remained silent throughout, glancing timidly at Su Juan with her head down, seemingly afraid that her every move would displease her aunt.
"Then I'll go back to sleep first. You two shouldn't stay out too late." Su Juan yawned, just as she met Xia Lian's gaze, and suddenly sat back down next to her with a smile.
Xia Lian trembled all over and sat up straight like a soldier with his whole body tense.
"Don't be so nervous. This is your home. Just relax when you're back home. There's food and drinks in the fridge. If you're hungry, just grab some. If you don't know how to use the electric blanket, ask your cousin to help you. Don't neglect yourself, girl."
Su Juan spoke gently, occasionally rubbing her little face.
Seemingly finding it amusing to tease the little girl, he hugged Xia Lian again before leaving, pulling her into a tight embrace. "One more hug! Hehe."
Xia Lian, who was initially a little nervous, relaxed considerably after being hugged by her mother's unique scent, and instinctively reached out to hug Su Juan back.
After a while, Su Juan let go of her hand. Her biological clock urged her to go to bed. She yawned and walked lightly back to her room.
The clock ticked away.
Only the two familiar faces remained in the large living room.
"My mom is quite childish, don't mind her." Wen Mo scratched his head awkwardly. After seeing Su Juan go back to her room and close the door, he moved his butt a little closer to the side, just close enough to touch the girl's hot shoulder after her shower.
Xia Lian shook her head, having drunk most of the hot milk in her hand. "Auntie, it's very fun and very gentle."
Although her tone was casual, she could genuinely feel that her aunt cared about her and was also helping her relax.
Wen Mo looked up at her as she sipped her milk, her gaze unfocused, and remained silent for a long time.
Seemingly feeling watched too closely, Xia Lian blinked, looked at his face, then at the half-cup of milk in her hand, and subconsciously handed it over.
"Wenmo, want a drink?"
"I've already had my drink, thank you." Wen Mo waved his hand, both amused and exasperated, then lowered his head and remained silent. His right hand quietly crept to the side, wrapped around her familiar waist, and pulled her closer.
"Almost everyone around us knows about us now."
In essence, considering the network of relatives and friends, they know the basics they should know, and they haven't been told what they shouldn't know.
"Is this... a good thing?" Xia Lian tilted her head and asked blankly.
“Yes, that’s a good thing.” Wen Mo responded with a smile. “At least we won’t have to hide anything from people we know anymore.”
"Can we hold hands from now on?"
“Of course.” Wen Mo took her hand, their fingers intertwined.
Looking at their clasped hands, Xia Lian's heart stirred with emotion.
Before Wen Mo could speak again, she had already moved closer and hugged him tightly. Her soft body pressed against him so closely that he could even feel her warmth through the thin nightgown.
"Can I hug you?"
"You've already hugged me," Wen Mo said helplessly, reaching out to hug Xia Lian's back, his breathing becoming a little rapid with his heartbeat. "I want to hug you too, I want to hug you for a very long time."
Feeling the girl's body temperature, the pleasant scent of shower gel filled my nose. The girl's body was fragrant, small, and delicate, and I was afraid that hugging her too tightly would hurt her.
Xia Lian rested her head on Wen Mo's shoulder, her eyes slightly narrowed. His broad chest made her feel very safe, and their heartbeats were synchronized at this moment.
"Wenmo, do you love me very much?"
"...You did hear that."
Wenmo might feel shy, but at least in front of someone she likes... in front of someone she loves, she has to be brave and express her true feelings loudly.
Although they were both still somewhat immature children, they had already become irreplaceable parts of each other's world.
Xia Lian nestled blankly in the crook of his neck, and when she looked up, she met his eyes, which were filled with shyness and desire. "Wen Mo is here, are you shy?"
"Um, I'm shy... but I really love you so much."
