My beautiful girl information is updated at any time

“Very similar, like when we were kids.” Li Qingran glanced at Chen Yajie, said this, and then stared at Lin Mo.

The girl's beautiful eyes were bright and sparkling; if eyes could speak, her desire to express herself would surely be at its peak at that moment.

"A small room."

"In summer, one fan is enough."

"In winter, it's warm to sleep cuddled together."

Lin Mo immediately understood what she meant.

They live in a small room. In the summer, a fan is enough to keep them cool, and in the winter, they don't need a heater or central heating; they just need to cuddle together to sleep to keep warm.

"Cooking, the house is small, but it smells delicious everywhere, and it tastes good."

Because the house is small, the aroma of cooking fills the entire room during mealtimes, making everyone's mouth water and whetting their appetite.

Chen Yajie was stunned for a moment, but having lived here before, she quickly understood Li Qingran's words.

"I'm so glad Qingran likes it!"

"That's right, when Mom cooks, it really smells amazing!" Chen Yajie let go of her conflicted little hands and sighed.

Then, just like Li Qingran, she looked at Lin Mo.

"Um, Lin Mo... will you find it difficult to get used to it here...?"

Regardless, she awaited his evaluation. No matter how heartwarming Li Qingran's words were, they couldn't compare to even a fraction of Lin Mo's.

"It's a habit. When I was a kid, the place I lived in was even smaller than this," Lin Mo said casually. "Five or six people slept in one bed, and Qingran used to have to sleep on my stomach."

"Mmm, on my tummy." Li Qingran nodded cutely, the Pikachu on her forehead wobbling along.

"Oh, I see~" Chen Yajie exclaimed, her gaze lingering on Li Qingran's eyes for a moment longer; her eyes were filled with Lin Mo.

Startled, Qingran's eyes sparkled, making her earlier silly words to Lin Mo seem utterly superfluous...

When Qingran was speaking just now, it felt like she was talking to Lin Mo.

She and Lin Mo really do have a deep bond...

It's not as simple as Lin Mo made it out to be. It's not just that they've been friends since childhood, and their relationship is like that of siblings...

Qingran calls them family, and they really do seem more like a family...

But Qingran is so strange. I can't see any joy, anger, sorrow or happiness in her. What's going on?

Chen Yajie had no reason to ask; she was also harboring her own little secrets. A kiss... she felt Lin Mo definitely wasn't the type to be lecherous, even though all the girls he knew seemed to be very pretty...

Anyway, Lin Mo definitely isn't one.

Even though she had already given herself the answer, when she looked into Li Qingran's eyes, Chen Yajie still couldn't bring herself to ask the question.

What if she made a mistake? Wouldn't she look like a fool? Wouldn't that be equivalent to questioning someone? Wouldn't that be equivalent to... confessing her feelings?

Although Lin Mo would definitely not embarrass her, Qing Ran certainly wouldn't either...

But she will.

She would avoid looking Li Qingran in the eye, telling herself, "You're just being delusional, how silly, how stupid! Look at her, Qingran is a girl who deserves to be popular, while you, Chen Yajie, are just praised a few times at school, you're unworthy of it..."

Um...

"Well, let's go inside first. We've been standing outside for so long."

Chen Yajie interrupted her gloomy thoughts. She didn't know what was wrong with her lately; she kept thinking about all sorts of things.

As soon as the door opened,

Chen's mother, looking anxious and flustered, came into the three people's view.

"What? You can set up stalls in the north of the city now... Oh, good, good, sigh, they've been cracking down so hard lately, it's like they're making life impossible... Old Zhao, why are they targeting us small vendors so much... We've been collecting our trash just fine... Hey, you've arrived already? Okay, I'll be right there..."

"Haven't set up shop for a few days? Not really, the time we're open for business is limited. You know, if you miss an hour, you miss a whole day... Okay, okay, right away, right away... I'll call Ya-Jie..."

Upon seeing this, Chen Yajie's heart clenched. This was the last thing she wanted to be seen... the last thing she wanted to...

"Mother..."

"Oh, you're here!" The anxiety on Chen's mother's face vanished the moment she saw them. "I was just about to go out and look for you!"

"Auntie, what's wrong...?"

"It's alright, Auntie just has something to do here and has to set up her stall for a while. You guys have fun first, sorry."

"Hello, Auntie." Li Qingran nodded blankly.

When Chen's mother saw Li Qingran, she was stunned for a moment. She thought it would be the girl who had come to eat noodles with Lin Mo earlier.

This one is also breathtakingly beautiful...

"Oh... hello hello..."

Chen's mother took Chen Yajie's hand again and whispered her instructions:

"Ya Jie, Mom went out for a bit. The dishes are cooked and in the pot, but there are still some dumplings that aren't fully steamed. Please keep an eye on them later..."

As she spoke, Chen's mother pulled a crumpled banknote from her purse.

"Here's a hundred yuan. Don't treat them badly. When you go out with them after the meal, don't be stingy."

Chen Yajie, however, was still thinking about what her mother had just said on the phone, and was filled with worry.

When I went home last week, the restrictions on setting up a street stall weren't this strict... I didn't realize it had gotten this serious...

"Mom, you..."

"Hey!" Chen's mother glared at her. "Adult matters are none of your business, you little kid. Be good and get along well with your classmates."

"it is good..."

"Auntie's going now, have fun!" Mrs. Chen said with a smile, then mounted her rickety tricycle and disappeared from sight.

Chen Yajie pursed her lips and clenched the money in her hand. After a moment, she took Li Qingran's arm, her smile warm.

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright, let's go in. Qingran... Lin Mo, let's eat first, let's eat first~"

The group entered the room, and just as they had seen from the window, it was small but perfectly formed; if the family were happy, it would be very cozy.

Unfortunately, none of the three people present could be considered as having normal parents.

Lin Mo didn't have it, Li Qingran didn't think she ever did, and Jie Bao's misfortune was an acquired one.

The girl deftly moved a small stool, unfolded a folding table, and wiped the table with her sleeve.

"Lin Mo, please have a seat. I'll go get the dishes. Mom's cooking is excellent~ Hmm, I can already smell the aroma!"

Lin Mo pulled Li Qingran to sit down. The girl looked around curiously, seemingly very excited.

Li Qingran didn't understand many social niceties or worldly troubles; she only knew that she liked this little house very much.

Or rather, she liked living in this little house with Lin Mo.

"what!"

Just as I sat down, a sweet cry came from the kitchen.

"It's okay! It's just that the dish is a little hot, haha... I'll just rinse it with cold water..."

Lin Mo stared at Jie Bao's busy little figure, feeling uneasy. From the moment they heard Chen's mother's phone call, this visit had already lost its original meaning.

At this time, not showing excessive concern is the best way to protect her self-esteem.

Jiebao wasn't particularly upset when she brought friends over to her house only to find out about her family's financial difficulties. Her emotions were mostly swayed by those who cared about her.

Jiebao must feel very sorry for her mother, but she doesn't want Lin Mo to worry. She's probably so upset that she's about to cry.

However, just because he can't help doesn't mean Ran Bao can't.

Girls helping each other out doesn't require as much consideration.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo whispered something to Li Qingran... Li Qingran frowned slightly, then relaxed her grip, letting out a soft "hmm" that was barely audible.

"Here you go! All set~" The girl carried a pot of boiled live fish. "I know you like spicy food, so Mom put in a lot of chili peppers~"

"Then, there's a plate of dumplings. I checked and it looks like it'll be ready soon. I'll go get it..."

The girl had just turned around when Li Qingran, who had been silent all along, grabbed her hand.

"Qingran? Is something the matter...?"

"Her hand is all red." Li Qingran pointed to Chen Yajie's scalded hand.

"Oh, I already said it's okay..." Chen Yajie forced a gentle smile.

But Li Qingran simply raised her eyes and looked at her expressionlessly, completely silencing Jie Bao's smile.

Immediately afterwards, the aloof girl removed the Pikachu fever-reducing patch from her forehead and, under the two's surprised gazes, placed it on Chen Yajie's hand.

A slight coolness covered the burning pain.

"Hey...Qingran, you still need this...?"

"Pain, it's flown away." Li Qingran spoke the most heartwarming words in the coldest tone.

"Okay! Thank you, Qingran~" Chen Yajie didn't refuse any longer. After flashing a sweet smile, she went back to the kitchen, grabbed the dumplings, and ran back to sit down.

"And there's a secret dipping sauce—my dad taught me how to make it..."

"Lin Mo, Qing Ran, give it a try!"

For a while, the girl's chopsticks moved around, but she never put any food into her own bowl.

Both Li Qingran and Lin Mo had bowls full of food, while she only had a token amount of chili sauce drizzled on her own.

This reflects her inner unease, which she tries to mask with enthusiasm, not wanting to disturb his and Li Qingran's good mood and worrying about ruining their beautiful day.

Actually, she probably doesn't get to eat many lavish meals at home very often...

"Is it tasty?"

"It's so delicious that I wouldn't let go even if I slapped myself."

Lin Mo had no choice but to eat voraciously, catering to the girl's fragile emotions.

Seeing Lin Mo eat so much, Li Qingran also tried to stuff her mouth with food, but unfortunately her mouth was small and she ate slowly. Before long, her little face was puffed up like a hamster's, not with great force, but with cuteness.

"Qingran, you can eat slower now~" Chen Yajie smiled and leaned on Li Qingran's shoulder, pouring her a glass of water, appearing very close.

"Drink some water~"

There's no need for this... You guys are really doing this...

[You probably already know, you can tell I'm about to cry, right? Don't be like this... Being so nice to me makes me unable to smile, it makes me want to cry even more...]

"Jiebao".

"Huh? What's wrong?" Chen Yajie narrowed her crescent-shaped eyes, her gaze as gentle as scattered flowers, looking at Lin Mo. Lost in thought, she hadn't even realized what Lin Mo had called...

precious...

"?" Li Qingran was stunned for a moment, her eyes narrowing slightly with a pitiful look. She reacted faster than Chen Yajie...

"Eh?! No... I'm Lin Mo, haha... You've got the wrong person, haven't you?"

Chen Yajie belatedly woke up with a start, so frightened that she could barely hold her chopsticks.

"No, it's fine to call it that."

"That's what I call Qingran too, like Ranbao or something similar," Lin Mo explained, intentionally avoiding Li Qingran's gaze.

There's no other way, Ranjiang, just bear with it a little longer. If you keep doing this, Jiebao's heart will break in two.

"Oh... okay..." Chen Yajie lowered her head, her face flushed red. What...?

My heart is racing. Why are you calling me that again? The first time was an accident, but this time...

[Calling a girl like that, it's definitely intentional, right? Is it implying that what happened last night was true? But, but Qingran is still here...]

[Should I ask him again? Why didn't he just tell me directly? Was it because Qingran was here?]

I'm so happy, but I don't know why... Being called that makes me feel valued... My dad used to call me "baby" too.

Now only Mom is left...

Lin Mo, I feel like I have no right to respond to you. My home is so shabby and small, and my heart is so small too. I don't understand anything, all I can do is worry helplessly. When Dad passed away, all I could do was worry helplessly. When problems arise at home, all I can do is worry helplessly. And when you hint at something, all I can do is worry helplessly...

"Jiebao, what's Auntie's phone number?"
