Xia Lian has had a tense expression since they met, and the muscles on her face seem to be trembling slightly due to nervousness, but this does not stop the little girl from appreciating her good looks.
Who doesn't like a beautiful older sister?
Although this woman seemed strange and didn't say a word for a long time, at least her face was really beautiful, like a princess in a fairy tale.
The little girl didn't care why Xia Lian had no expression. She smiled and pulled Xia Lian to a stone bench, where they sat down and chatted.
"Sister, are you from the city too? Your skin is so fair."
"Is Xiao Mo really my sister's brother? They don't look alike, though they're both very good-looking."
A barrage of questions hit Xia Lian's head, leaving her a little dazed. She wanted to ask Wen Mo for help, but seeing that he was still dealing with the kid in the convenience store, she could only grit her teeth and deal with the situation herself.
"Me too, from the countryside..."
She had been like that since she was a child, but later her mother took her to the county town, and then her uncle took her to Linchuan City, but she didn't say the more specific reason.
"Hey—is that sister really Brother Mo's sister?" The little girls blinked and kept asking questions like they were asking gossip.
Xia Lian felt a little uncomfortable, fidgeting with her hands between her legs. After a while, she nodded slightly, her head bowed and her eyebrows lowered.
"I'm his cousin..."
"Oh, I see."
Children are children after all, and without asking too many questions, they skipped the topic and started playing with Xia Lian.
Perhaps because they had never seen such a beautiful person before, the girls' initial impression of her was already perfect.
There are other girls in the village, and there are pretty girls too, but none of them are as beautiful as this new girl in front of me. She's so beautiful that she's refreshingly elegant.
"Sister, you don't seem to smile very often. Do you not like to smile?"
The little girls almost formed a circle around Xia Lian, as if they wanted to see her through everything. One of the bolder little girls even asked for a hug from her older sister. Xia Lian didn't know how to respond, so she could only awkwardly give her a hug.
Perhaps not wanting to embarrass Wen Mo, Xia Lian stretched out two fingers, as usual, and placed them on either side of her cheeks, lifting them slightly to make a stiff smile.
It would have been better if she hadn't laughed; her laughter only made the children even happier, and they all rushed to get close to Xia Lian, as if afraid she would run away.
Wen Mo had an even bigger headache dealing with the kids in the convenience store. The kids were naturally noisy, and they were making a racket in the store, but luckily he could buy them snacks to shut them up, and they finally quieted down.
After buying everything, the group came out carrying snacks, only to find that Xia Lian was already having a great time with the other girls.
"Not bad, you've got it."
Wen Mo sat down next to her with a grin and generously handed out snacks to the little girl, winning over a group of people in the process.
"Thank you, Brother Mo!"
"Don't just thank me, you should also thank the older sister who played with you," Wen Mo reminded her.
"Thank you, sister!"
The children said in unison, and each opened their own package and started eating. A few packets of snacks were enough to receive the purest kindness from the children, and they all smiled from ear to ear.
As noon approached, the adults who had been chatting and laughing began to take their children home, but they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows in surprise when they saw the scene before them.
"Xiao Mo is back?"
"Wow, you've gotten even more handsome, hahaha."
"My son Da Mao has caused you trouble, hasn't he? This kid is always making a fuss, haha."
"I heard the college entrance exam is coming up soon? You'd better work harder!"
Everyone laughed and gathered around to take the child home, and also chatted with Wen Mo for a bit. When their eyes fell on Xia Lian next to him, they noticed a new face.
"By the way, who's this little girl next to you? Is she your girlfriend?"
yes.
Wenmer really wanted to answer that way.
But he certainly couldn't just say that, so he could only smile and reply, "No, this is my cousin, Xia Lian. Come on, Xia Lian, say hello to your uncle and aunt."
Wen Mo directed like a parent, while Xia Lian timidly leaned out halfway and bowed slightly, a bow that surprised everyone.
I've never seen such a proper girl; she even bows when she greets someone.
Wenmo was also very perceptive. He took out a large pack of cigarettes he had just bought from the plastic bag, opened the box, and handed them out to the smoking uncles one by one with a smile.
"Oh my god, you're not even an adult yet and you're already doing this kind of thing, huh? Hahahaha."
"No, no, I'm just imitating adults. I'm not as mature as the uncles and aunts."
Wen Mo smiled modestly and accepted everyone's jokes.
That's how a good impression is formed. At the very least, by loving the house, one will have a basic positive impression of Lianbao, giving her some presence in the village.
This is a method Wen Mo learned from his father. He once said that there's nothing between men that can't be solved with a pack of cigarettes, and if there is, it just means you haven't smoked enough.
The aunties weren't idle either. Seeing the extra snacks in their children's hands, they immediately understood where they came from and all developed a liking for the two children.
"Oh dear, this is such a waste of money. Buying snacks for these little rascals is just a waste of money." The old lady chuckled as she hugged her child.
"No, no, this child likes to play with us, so buying some snacks is a good idea."
"How old is this little sister this year?"
She is sixteen years old.
"You're so beautiful! Just like those stunning beauties on TV!"
This is the highest compliment villagers can give to someone's appearance. If someone looks like someone on TV, it means the other person thinks you're so good-looking you could be on TV.
Xia Lian didn't hesitate. Having spent so much time by Wen Mo's side, she lowered her head and said crisply, "Thank you, Auntie."
"Oh my, this girl, she's so polite, even saying thank you, haha."
The combination of a handsome young man and a beautiful young woman is truly rare. The uncle and aunt, who had nothing else to do, chatted for a while and were amused by the young man's witty remarks.
The little girl next to him, though not very talkative, is undeniably beautiful. If she reaches a certain age, she'll probably have plenty of matchmakers.
Wen Mo was also on the minds of these uncles and aunts. After all, he was a child who grew up in the city, and he was so handsome, tall and good-looking. I heard that his grades were also good. He could be said to be a hot commodity in the matchmaking world.
"Xiao Mo is eighteen years old this year, right?" the aunties asked.
Wen Mo smiled and waved his hand, "Not yet, I'll be eighteen after my birthday, but it'll be soon."
"Oh—" one of the aunties drawled, exchanged glances with the aunties behind her, and then asked with a smile, "Does Xiao Mo have a girlfriend? If not..."
Before she could finish asking, Wen Mo smiled and nodded. The two of them secretly clasped their hands behind their backs, rubbing their thumbs together.
"I already have someone I like, and I'll introduce them to everyone later."
