On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 64 Am I being teased?
Chen Mo came to Su Yuqing's side and took her hand. When she looked up at him, he said gently, "What's wrong? Aren't you ready yet?"

He knew very well why Su Yuqing was staying where she was.

The moment the bell rang for the end of the afternoon get out of class, it meant that she would soon go home with Chen Mo to face her mother.

Even though she had made all kinds of preparations in her mind before, when the moment really came and she thought about where things would go next, Su Yuqing still felt uncomfortable.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect!
Even if her parents no longer consider her a family member, she still can't help but feel sad and upset when she really has to sever this emotional bond that is tied to her by the last thread.

It's not that she and her parents had no happiness at all. When she was a child, before her parents quarreled, she was the most precious little princess in the family.

Looking at the smiles and doting expressions on her parents' faces at that time, Su Yuqing believed that the feelings her parents had for her at that time were not fake.

Even though she was not very old at the time, she still finds it very sweet and the memory is still fresh when she thinks back on it.

So when it really came time to take the step of completely breaking up, her feelings were really complicated.

Su Yuqing's eyelashes trembled. As if it was a coincidence of fate, a teardrop that slipped from the corner of her eye just happened to fall on the word "family" in the English textbook, staining the ink into a small lake of sadness.

She recalled the scene on her sixth birthday when her father held her up and picked locust flowers. The man's stubble rubbed against her neck, and her mother looked at her gently and dotingly. The laughter of the whole family made the white flowers on the tree rustle with laughter.

Su Yuqing looked at Chen Mo with tears in her eyes without realizing it.

Chen Mo didn't say anything, but gently took her head and placed it on his chest.

"It's okay. This is your decision. I won't interfere too much. But as long as you need me, I'm always here to support you."

Su Yuqing rested her forehead on Chen Mo's collarbone and could clearly feel the steady and powerful heartbeat in his chest.

The body temperature from under the school uniform wrapped her like the warm spring sun, mixed with the faint scent of soapberry on the boy's body, which reminded her of the feeling of being held in her father's arms when she had a fever as a child.

At that time, her father's palms were also so warm, and he would hum nursery rhymes softly to coax her to sleep.

"Chen Mo..." As soon as she opened her mouth, Chen Mo noticed that her voice was nasal and the ending of her tone was trembling uncontrollably.

At this time, Su Yuqing's throat felt like it was blocked by cotton wool soaked in lemon juice, and it was so sour and painful.

Chen Mo said nothing, but gently stroked her hair with his palm, as if soothing a frightened little animal.

Su Yuqing cried unconsciously on Chen Mo's warm chest. All those warm memories that had been deliberately sealed away now turned into fine needle tips, gently piercing the softest part of her heart.

"Actually, we can face it tomorrow or later." Chen Mo's voice was wrapped in the resonance of his chest, which made Su Yuqing's earlobes pressed against his chest numb slightly. "I can talk to my aunt..."

"No!" Su Yuqing suddenly stood up, tears welling up in her eyes as she moved. "I need to make things clear today. I can't put it off any longer. I'll become increasingly hesitant."

She wiped her cheeks with her sleeves, but the more she wiped, the wetter it became. Chen Mo smiled and took out a tissue from her pocket, pulled out one and gently wiped her tears. "Don't force yourself on things like this. After all, once you make a decision, it's probably going to be hard to reconcile later."

"I'm just... just a little scared. I'm afraid of seeing my mother's cold face, and I'm even more afraid of seeing her suddenly become..." Su Yuqing suddenly stopped talking halfway.

"What happened suddenly?" Chen Mo looked at her curiously. "Nothing." Su Yuqing wiped her tears and shook her head, then lay back on Chen Mo's chest, hoping to use his warmth to boost her courage.

Chen Mo tightened his arms around her back and rested his chin lightly on the top of her head.

The whistle for the start of basketball team training came from the distance, and the noise of playfulness in the corridor gradually faded away, but they were like a movie with the pause button pressed, frozen in the twilight.

Feeling Su Yuqing trembling in his arms, Chen Mo couldn't help but recall her experience in the previous timeline, how cruel fate was.

Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh that a girl who had already suffered from indifference ended up like that.

If we don't use moral kidnapping as an excuse, Su Yuqing's final outcome has nothing to do with Chen Mo.

After all, in the previous timeline, Chen Mo didn't know about his childhood relationship with Su Yuqing. He was just a classmate whom he knew and had some good feelings towards.

If every classmate you know and have a slight crush on comes to your house in trouble, and you are required to save them, or face moral condemnation if you don't, then who can save them? Isn't this pure moral kidnapping?

Therefore, it is obviously unreasonable to blame Su Yuqing's fate on Chen Mo's inaction. He has no obligation to take her in.

Her tragic ending was purely caused by the mistakes of her original family.

But in reality, it was Chen Mo who pushed her to take the last step.

So as a person with conscience, Chen Mo condemned himself and took responsibility for the matter.

However, the two main people who should be held responsible for this incident are actually Su Yuqing's biological parents. As a result, one of them went crazy, and the other acted as if he had never had this daughter.

This is the most outrageous thing.

When he recalled the tragic death of this girl who was washed away by heavy rain all night, and the fact that she showed no signs of escape at all, Chen Mo seemed to feel the state of Su Yuqing at the moment before her death, when she was filled with grief and despair.

Perhaps she was not caught off guard or frightened, but perhaps she was just disappointed with human nature. At that moment, she felt that it would be a relief to just leave like this, so she did not resist at all.

When Chen Mo thought that Su Yuqing might be in this state of mind, he couldn't help but shed a tear for her.

Su Yuqing suddenly felt warm and moist on the side of her neck. When she looked up, she found that there were tiny water droplets on Chen Mo's eyelashes.

"Silly boy, why are you crying?" She burst into laughter and poked Chen Mo's red eyes with her finger.

"Chalk dust blinded me." Chen Mo blinked quickly, then smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of Su Yuqing's eyes. "You are the one. If you keep crying, others will think I'm bullying you."

Su Yuqing looked at the boy's reddened ears, then suddenly cupped his face and rested her forehead against his. Her beautiful big eyes gazed lovingly into his, her cool fingertips against his warm cheek. She said nothing, but in her heart she sweetly said, "Thank you for always catching me when I was in the most awkward moments."

After Su Yuqing made such an unexpected move that made Chen Mo almost think that she was going to force a kiss on her, she stood up straight, regained her normal expression, and looked at Chen Mo with a gentle smile, "Let's go."

Only then did Chen Mo feel his heart pounding and he immediately stood up and followed Su Yuqing, but in a trance he always felt as if he had just been teased?
