Li Qingran gave her a sharp look.

"You still want more?"

"I don't really want to either... but from what you've said, Lin Mo seems quite ill. I'm a little worried if we don't do anything..."

"Because you are all selfish."

"what?"

Chen Yajie and Shen Yanxi, who had just gotten up with their books, couldn't help but tremble when they heard Li Qingran's sudden, chilling words.

“Yes, we are all selfish.” Li Qingran corrected her previous statement, replacing “you” with “we”.

"Selfish..."

“Selfishness is normal... Qingran,” Shen Yanxi said in a deep voice.

“Nothing’s wrong.” Li Qingran repeated, then remained silent, taking the books from the two women and placing them in her tent.

Two girls were behind her, their toes barely touching the ground.

That night...

"The first goodnight I want to say is to Lin Mo, because I can't reply to you." Li Qingran entered the tent, picked up her phone, and exuded a sense of detachment, almost as if she were intentionally or unintentionally distant.

"..."

"Haha~ Let's all go to sleep then." Chen Yajie forced a smile and didn't linger.

Shen Yanxi hesitated for a moment, "Qingran, you don't like this, do you?"

"Time to sleep. I still want to watch the sunrise with him." Li Qingran scrolled through her phone screen.

"Good night."

"Ah...did you say goodnight to Lin Mo?"

"Yes, it's on my phone."

"Oh... then Xixi will help you close the tent flap."

"..."

Shen Yanxi walked towards her tent, when a sudden gust of cold wind made her hug herself tightly and sneeze slightly.

The mountaintop at night was indeed frighteningly cold, especially after everyone had left. It was eerily quiet, and even when surrounded by a patch of grass, a biting wind would still whistle through the sparse branches.

Like an invisible hand slapping down on the campfire that was almost completely extinguished in the center of several tents...

The girl's gaze shifted to Lin Mo's tent.

Having made up her mind, she tiptoed there and quickly pulled back the curtain...

"Shh! Xixi doesn't have a phone, so this is the only way I can say goodnight to you!"

"Hurry, hurry, time is of the essence! Don't struggle, or you'll attract the others!"

"In Xixi's hometown, there's a custom that you have to kiss when you say goodnight, otherwise you won't grow tall!"

"What kind of ridiculous custom is this..."

"Don't worry about it!"

"..."

"Wait a minute, I have a spare old phone here, you can take it."

"Then let's kiss one more time..."

"..."

A moment later, the girl licked her pink lips, her pattering steps almost synchronized with her rapid heartbeat, like a triumphant deserter returning home, filled with vain nervousness, and hurriedly crawled into her own tent.

...

Lin Mo doesn't plan to sleep tonight.

It's not that I don't care about resting because I have cheat codes.

Firstly, so that the girls could wait until sunrise and avoid oversleeping, it was best for him to stay and keep watch.

Secondly, in order to effectively deal with emergencies, such as Shen Yanxi's night raid that was almost a life-or-death gamble.

Thirdly...

As the night deepened, Lin Mo pulled back the tent flap, crawled out, and sat down by the campfire.

The campfire had mostly gone out, with only a few embers remaining.

Lin Mo took out a few pieces of charcoal from the package Hu Yu'en had brought, and picked up some broken branches and leaves from the grass, putting them into the fire.

The campfire regained the light they had when they had their picnic, and it was quite warm, so the girls could sleep comfortably.

No one can guarantee safety when camping outdoors, so Lin Mo definitely couldn't sleep.

Lin Mo opened his phone and looked at the messages Ran Bao had sent him.

A long string,

[Ranbao]: Lin Mo, Qingran lied to you, are you angry?

His reply was, of course, no.

[Ranbao]: Well, today's discussion was all just Qingran talking nonsense. Qingran just wanted to know, what exactly do they, they really think about Lin Mo... Qingran couldn't say for sure, but she knew very well in her heart.

[Ranbao]: Lin Mo, Qingran doesn't hate having so many friends, but I hate it, I hate every single one of them who likes Lin Mo.

[Ranbao]: Today, no one rejects you, everyone wants you.

[Ranbao]: I can't let go.

[Ranbao]: I want one too.

[Ran Bao]: Absolutely.

When Li Qingran typed this, she was probably feeling really heavy-hearted. She changed her self-reference from the gentler "Qingran" to the more subjective "I."

Perhaps it would be normal for 'I' to say it, but it's not normal for Li Qingran, which means that she is in a state of anxiety.

Li Qingran kept talking about curing his repressed emotions, but actually, she was just testing how other girls would react.

Normally, girls wouldn't be very proactive in discussing this kind of topic, at least not in front of Lin Mo.

As a result, Feng Bao, Jie Bao, and Hu Li Xi Xi were all awkwardly vying for it.

Because it satisfies their interests and purposes, including those of Li Qingran.

Also, perhaps this 'treatment' could be used as an excuse to keep the other girls at a proper distance from Lin Mo; this was Li Qingran's little scheme.

Li Qingran had previously hinted to Lin Mo that she could accept, somewhat accept, one or two girls...

But now everyone wants to take it from her, so she won't give up anything or accept anything.

It's like the childish mentality of 'I'm willing to share my toys with you, but you take them from me without saying a word, so I won't share them with you anymore, I'll play by myself...'

This aligns perfectly with Li Qingran's logic.

But this is not Lin Mo's logic.

He used to think that Lin Chong, the Leopard Head in Water Margin, was forced to join Liangshan and rebel in the end. What was the point of him suffering so many injustices and being loyal to the court?

Now I understand. Some things, some decisions, were truly made when we were forced into a corner, when we couldn't afford to play anymore, when every step further meant certain death, and only then did we realize we needed to take a detour.

Grass.

To put it bluntly,

Lin Mo didn't just realize he was wrong; he realized he was going to be played to death in this land of beauties, and he regretted it deeply.

People must take responsibility for their greed.

He has developed deep bonds with every girl, both physically and spiritually.

Besides expressing his love for Li Qingran, he could also tolerate Shen Yanxi's nighttime raids, indulge Jiang Wanfeng's demands, let Hu Yu'en's increasingly outrageous teasing go unchecked, and give Chen Yajie a passionate response on her birthday...

His greed led him to do this, dragging every girl into an abyss of love.

To be honest, he's not so lecherous as to be completely out of control. These days, every girl thinks he's some kind of pervert...

Because he was afraid, afraid that if he took even one less step, he would lose someone in the end... After all, his true thoughts were beyond what a psychopath could explain, and would be a devastating blow to every girl.

It's good to be prepared in advance.

Now, the initiative is no longer in his hands, but in the hands of each girl.

That's about it.

They demanded it back, and then resorted to all sorts of unreasonable demands and deceit.

She's so desperate she can't live without him, and he won't let her leave him either; she's just relentlessly pursuing him.

"Thorn."

A spark flew up to his eyes, landed on his coat, and burned a dark window into it.

As I stared at the twinkling Mars, time flew by.

I thought the fox was going to play a big game, but it seems she underestimated Jiang Wanfeng's vigilance. Now she's been put on hold and hasn't even sent a message on QQ.

Jiebao had already sent him many messages on her phone.

It was nothing more than saying I was happy, and asking if it hurt when I stepped on him? If it felt good, I could help him step on it again in the future...

Chen Yajie always speaks without restraint in the most ambiguous situations, and Lin Mo doesn't know if she's genuinely innocent or just used to saying things that way.

Just looking at the chat history between the girls and him made him chuckle.

It feels really good to be cared for. Having been used to being alone, he really couldn't bear to give up this ambiguous and agonizing feeling.

"Susu~"

The wind that was blowing was finally a bit warmer, which meant the sun would be out soon.

The first hint of dawn on the horizon wasn't quite as stunning as described in the book.

As the golden sun, tinged with fiery red, peeked over the horizon, Lin Mo stretched and began opening the tents of each house.

"...Lin Mo, you can't bite your tongue..." Shen Yanxi was still talking in her sleep. Lin Mo laughed when he heard it. So it really was her who bit her tongue on New Year's Day...

"Get up, the sun's already high in the sky."

"butt..."

Shen Yanxi murmured, sticking her little bottom out at him, and Lin Mo couldn't help but pat her twice.

The girl suddenly woke up, turned around and saw it was him, and she was dumbfounded.

Lin Mo then went to the next tent. He only knew which one belonged to Shen Yanxi, and opening the tent now felt a bit like opening a blind box...

A cute girl blind box? That's interesting.

Next, the door opens to reveal a sleepy Chen Yajie rubbing her eyes. Even when awake, she embodies a delicate beauty; in her half-asleep state, she perfectly embodies softness and gentleness.

"Lin Mo...is the sun out yet...?"

"Just came out."

"Oh..."

As she murmured, Chen Yajie suddenly opened her arms and smiled sweetly, "You look like you've been keeping watch all night. Can I hug you?"

"What's the connection?"

"No~ I just really want to hug you, like I can hug the sun."

Seeing that only Shen Yanxi was awake, Lin Mo carried Chen Yajie out of the tent. Before she could react, she thought it was just a hug, but instead he picked her up like a little chick and carried her out of the tent.

Next, the third...

It seems like we've already guessed who it is. This tent is almost deformed from sleeping in it. It's obvious that two people with terrible sleeping habits slept together, resulting in this beautiful girl reaction.

Lin Mo had barely opened it when he realized something was very wrong inside...

What, not wearing clothes in this freezing weather... Although this tent is quite high-end and has thermal facilities, well, not really, Hu Yu'en is still wearing some clothes. It's just that Jiang Wanfeng, this self-disciplined queen, doesn't care about details...

"Ah, it's so cold!" Jiang Wanfeng was immediately woken up by the cold and struggled to get up.

Who is it...?
