The meal was a turbulent affair, full of undercurrents, and no one could really taste the flavor of the food.
Ye Qingqing's mind was entirely on Lu Mo; she didn't even notice whether the dishes were salty or sweet.
Ye Zhiguo and the others felt nauseous and couldn't even taste dragon meat anymore.
Only Tie Dan and Ye Hua truly enjoyed the meal, eating heartily and silently without uttering a single word.
After the meal, Lu Mo sat for a while longer before getting up to say goodbye. Lu Qingquan and Yue Hongxia also couldn't stay any longer and took their leave at the same time.
"Qingqing, go see Lu Mo off," the old lady instructed.
Ye Qingqing had already planned to deliver it, and the old lady's instructions made it even better, making it perfectly legitimate. She and Lu Mo went out together, their steps light and their skirts fluttering. The full moon in the sky was very bright, and the bright moonlight shone on the beautiful girl, reflecting a soft halo.
The dim streetlights cast long shadows of the two people, one long and one short, which would sometimes overlap and then separate again.
Ye Qingqing found it amusing and tried to step on Lu Mo's shadow, but every time she did, Lu Mo would move away, which made her glare at him angrily.
If it weren't for those two annoying people following her, she would definitely have bitten that big piece of wood a few times. Humph, they're so good at saying nice things, but they don't say a single word to her. How annoying!
Lu Mo's lips curled slightly, and there was a smile in his eyes, but his expression remained as wooden as ever.
"Your teacher, Ms. Du, said that your grades improved a lot in this diagnostic test, and you even promised Ms. Du that you would improve your ranking by fifty places in next month's monthly exam," Lu Mo said.
After visiting the school, Teacher Du contacted him whenever he had something to say, praising Ye Qingqing's performance and saying that if she just worked a little harder, she would have no problem getting into university.
Lu Mo was naturally very pleased; it seemed that this girl really wanted to improve herself.
"I wanted to transfer Yuanyuan from that snob teacher's class to my class. Teacher Du agreed, saying that as long as I ranked within the top 150 in the whole school, he would ask Teacher He for Yuanyuan," Ye Qingqing explained.
Lu Mo raised an eyebrow. This girl really puts a lot of effort into that chubby girl!
"You really like glutinous rice balls?"
Ye Qingqing nodded and said solemnly, "I want to protect Yuanyuan. I owe her from my past life."
Lu Mo glared at her, saying she was talking like a child again. He thought that Ye Qingqing might have seen a similar experience to her own in Tang Yuanyuan, and that's why the girl was so kind-hearted and stood up for others.
Ye Qingqing thought for a moment and said, half-jokingly, "It's true, I owed two people in my past life. One of them is Yuanyuan, so I have to protect her."
Lu Mo was surprised and asked curiously, "Who is the other one?"
Ye Qingqing smiled, her eyes crinkling, and took his hand, saying coquettishly, "It's you! That's why I'm giving myself back to you!"
Lu Moxin's heart fluttered, and the tips of his ears turned red instantly, but he tightened his grip on Ye Qingqing's hand and didn't let go.
"You're talking nonsense again. Don't send him out anymore, go back!"
Lu Mo was a little reluctant, but if he continued to escort her, he would probably have to take her back to the compound. He asked Tie Dan to take Ye Qingqing home, as he was worried about letting the girl walk alone.
Ye Qingqing rolled her eyes at him. She was telling the truth, but he just wouldn't believe her. He wouldn't even say anything sweet to coax her. How annoying!
"Then I'll go back. Take a taxi later, don't walk."
Ye Qingqing gave him several instructions, then turned back to give Tiedan another word of advice. Suddenly, she grabbed Lu Mo's hand, bit it hard on the back of his hand, laughed sweetly, and ran back home.
Lu Qingquan pushed the cart behind, with Yue Hongxia beside him, her face gloomy. She hadn't gotten the five thousand yuan back, nor had she been able to cancel the engagement. Even after eating several pieces of chicken, Yue Hongxia couldn't cheer up.
