Lin Mo's heart sank when he saw the pop-up message. He quickly sat up, not giving Feng Bao a chance to demonstrate his strength.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanfeng pouted even more, so much so that her cheeks puffed up in a huff.

"Come with me today, or else..." The girl instinctively wanted to order or threaten, but halfway through her sentence, she remembered her resolve.

Be gentle, Jiang Wanfeng.

"Otherwise what?"

"Whatever, I...I'm going to brush my teeth and wash my face." The girl lost her ability to find the right words and ran off in small steps.

Lin Mo watched the girl run away, her clothes billowing in the air... She wasn't exactly youthful or innocent; it was an empty space where she felt completely unguarded.

He rubbed his temples and sent a voice message to Li Qingran saying good morning. He received a reply from the girl almost instantly.

The accompanying photo was a selfie of Ranbao lying on the bed, dangling her little feet. After a closer look, she's still a bit more conservative than Fengbao.

[Silent]: Look at the shape of their feet.

【Qingran】:(Sweating Little Soybean)

Lin Mo couldn't hold back. He had sent this emoji too many times, and Li Qingran was now very familiar with it... but Lin Mo was a little confused about what she meant by sending this emoji.

Generally speaking, it indicates embarrassment and difficulty in accepting, but Li Qingran doesn't seem to understand this.

[Qingran]: Lin Mo, what is foot physiognomy?

[Mo]: I have a weekly test this morning, Ranbao, I need you.

【Qingran】:(Sweating Little Soybean)

Ranbao, you've really mastered the art of using emojis!

[Qingran]: Lin Mo, it's raining outside. I need to wear rain boots because I'll get sweaty.

[Mo]: This is exactly what I like.

You retracted a message.

【Qingran】:(Sweating Little Soybean)

The chat ended there, and Lin Mo got up and washed up. He still needed to get there early in the morning to read her feet and trigger the [Private Tutorial] with Ran Bao's Jade Bamboo, otherwise he would fail the weekly test miserably.

Although he didn't greet Jiang Wanfeng, Lin Mo still waited for the girl at the door with an umbrella.

On a rainy day, there's no reason to go for a morning run alone.

"Lin Mo, where are my rain boots?"

"you ask me?"

[Aren't you a... you know... fetishist? My shoes are missing, who else would I turn to but you?]

"..."

Jiang Wanfeng, your thoughts are dangerous. No wonder you always go barefoot and bare-legged at home. So you've been trying to cultivate my ideal type all along?

Too lazy to complain, but next time you deliberately step on my back, I'll grab you and tickle you, Fengbao.

Walking to school with a cold, aloof, poker-faced, arrogant high school girl is quite stressful, especially when Jiang Wanfeng uses the excuse of not wanting to share an umbrella with him.

"Don't step in the puddles, you have rain boots but I don't."

"I didn't step on it!"

"I heard that your feet will smell really bad if you wear rain boots all day."

"Ahhh, I brought normal shoes! And I won't smell, I won't smell!!"

Fengbao kept throwing punches.

But the rain continued to intensify, restricting the girl's movement, and she eventually clung to him, struggling to move.

"You hold the umbrella, jump onto my back and I'll carry you, otherwise it'll be hard to walk like this."

"Oh..."

The girl, who had been feeling guilty for being so willful as to not bring an umbrella, blushed after hearing Lin Mo's words.

The boy's back appeared unusually broad at that moment, and his thighs were supported by the boy's palms, giving him a sense of security, as if he would never fall off.

Only her heart sank lower and lower, layered with joyful emotions, the weight of her affection constantly increasing.

What I like about him is probably this: the constant sense of security I feel.

No matter what trouble they encountered, he would never blame her, but instead protected her right to be spoiled and willful.

She thought she was definitely the first girl he would carry on his back, and she would definitely be the last.

"Lin Mo, I like rainy days~"

The girl whispered in his ear,

"Really like."

"I like it too, that way I'll know how smelly your feet are."

"Look, the shoes are off. Smell them, they definitely don't smell."

"..."

Lin Mo lowered his head symbolically, but as expected, Feng Bao immediately pulled him back by the hair.

"abnormal!!"

...

There are no classes on Saturdays. In the mornings, there are either weekly tests or teachers helping with homework.

Ran Bao didn't let Lin Mo succeed today because he arrived a little late due to the rain, and there were already many people in the class, so he couldn't sneakily touch Ran Bao's jade bamboo to trigger the [private tutorial].

All I could do was let Lin Mo touch her little hands, for a whole morning, trying to compensate for the quality deficiencies with sheer volume.

The only downside is that Ranjiang felt a little uncomfortable from being rubbed.

After finishing their papers, the two didn't go their separate ways as usual, because they needed to visit Jiebao's house today and also stop by the supermarket to buy some things.

As agreed before, I should just follow Jiebao after school.

Lin Mo secretly sent Jiang Wanfeng a message, saying she would go home later and needed to stay at school to study a little longer...

"Sigh...why am I staying again..."

Jiang Wanfeng took out her phone, glanced at it, and sighed with a furrowed brow.

"Lin Mo?" Hu Yu'en leaned closer to peek at her phone.

"Hmm? Why did you save Lin Mo's contact as 'First Day of Self-Discipline'?"

When Jiang Wanfeng realized she had been discovered by her best friend, her pale face immediately turned bright red. Actually, it had been three days since the last update, but she had simply forgotten to update... It wasn't just one day!

"...because he lacks self-discipline..."

"I think Lin Mo is quite self-disciplined; he even stayed behind to study."

"Oh, don't worry about that!" Jiang Wanfeng couldn't explain, so she glared at her best friend and pretended to be dead, lying on the table.

"Wanfeng, you're blushing again. Why do you blush so easily?"

"It's hot!"

"Does talking about Lin Mo make you hot?"

"..."

"Wanfeng, I'm thinking, could this self-discipline be something you..."

"..."

Seeing Jiang Wanfeng blushing and even trembling, Hu Yu'en smiled and didn't ask any further questions.

So weak, Fengfeng.

"Wanfeng, could you give me Lin Mo's QQ number? That way I can get to know him better and keep an eye on him!"

Jiang Wanfeng's head was still spinning. When she heard the part about "getting to know him better," she felt a strange sensation in her heart for some reason.

But when she heard "I'll keep an eye on him for you," she immediately remembered that this was a task she had assigned to her best friend.

Yu-en still remembers her...that's so nice.

"Oh, why don't you just add me as a friend now?"

What if he disagrees?

"If I tell him to add it, does he dare refuse?" Jiang Wanfeng swaggered around in a strange place.

"Mmm~ Wanfeng is so amazing."

Afterwards, Hu Yu'en looked at the friend request that had been accepted, and her eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter.

I also secretly changed his nickname in my contacts. What should I call him...?

Let's call it "[There's a tissue in my pants]"...

But... is Lin Mo going to stay at school again?

Ya Jie said she would go home this Saturday; she doesn't stay at school. How could Lin Mo stay at school? She must be lying to Wan Feng.

Thinking about this, Hu Yu'en felt her guilt lessened a bit. After all, Lin Mo was also deceiving her, also hiding everything from her best friend.

Besides, she just hasn't figured it out yet, she's still researching it, and she doesn't really want to go against Wanfeng...

Perhaps, when Ya Jie is like her, she'll understand that she actually enjoys the thrill and ambiguity... not genuine affection...

Why drag Ya-Jie into this...? She's too radiant, too dazzling. Am I still harboring some other expectation, something beyond the shadows...?

If Chen Yajie remains so dazzling despite this bizarre relationship, does it mean that Hu Yu'en could also...?

That's impossible, it can't be.

Hu Yu'en began to doubt herself, as if at some point, excitement had become less important... Her thoughts had strayed from their original path.

"Okay, I'm off."

Oh, bye-bye, Fengfeng~

"Bye~"

As soon as her best friend left, Hu Yu'en picked up her phone, thinking about what message she should send to Lin Mo first...

After much deliberation, I still didn't know what to do.

How strange, why am I being so cautious? She should have just sent a polite and natural "hello"... Besides, Lin Mo already saw right through me...

But I still really want to show him my best side... even if it's just an act.

Please don't dislike her, okay? No, no...

"Class monitor..." After Jiang Wanfeng left, Chen Yajie ran over.

"Ya Jie, what's wrong?" Hu Yu'en silently turned off her phone, deleting the entire long message she had typed.

"Class monitor, could you teach me this problem?"

"Yeah, sure!"

After what happened yesterday, can I adjust and start studying so quickly today?

"That's about it~ Did you understand?"

"Oh, thank you, class monitor!"

"By the way, what are Ya-jie's plans for this afternoon?"

"Hmm... We have guests at home, and we also need to go to the supermarket, the one near the school."

"And you, class monitor?" Chen Yajie asked sincerely, unlike her who was probing with an ulterior motive.

"I..." Hu Yu'en lowered her eyes slightly.

She would practice in the music room for an afternoon, then study all night under her mother's supervision, falling asleep and waking up again—it would be better if she never woke up at all...

"Class monitor, do you want to go to the supermarket together?" Chen Yajie, unaware of her thoughts, simply smiled sweetly at her.

"Ah I..."

How about... sneaking out today?
