During the meal, Chu Lintian was picking up dishes for Lin Mo while asking questions.
"Lin Mo, who are there in your family?"
Hearing this, Lin Mo knew she was asking about his family situation.
But he didn't care.
"My parents passed away. Apart from some relatives, I'm the only one left in my family."
Hearing this, Chu Lintian's expression froze for a moment, and she quickly said, "Sorry, auntie didn't mean to ask like this."
Lin Mo shook his head.
"It's okay. It's a fact. And after getting through that period, it doesn't hurt that much anymore."
Hearing this, Chu Miaomiao picked up a chicken wing and put it in Lin Mo's bowl.
This girl wasn't very good at talking, but she was smart.
Chu Lintian looked at Chu Miaomiao and then at Lin Mo.
"So where do you live now?"
"I stay at home on weekends. During the school days, I rent a place near the school."
Lin Mo explained. He always felt that the woman in front of him seemed to think he was a poor homeless teenager.
So he added, "I still have some money."
Hearing what Lin Mo added, Chu Lintian knew that the young man in front of her was the kind of person who didn't want to trouble others.
"By the way, the last time you came here to look at the house, were you planning to move?"
Lin Mo shook his head. "The place I'm living in now is quite nice. The landlord is very kind. There are lots of food and drinks downstairs. I don't have to cook by myself. The living facilities are all complete.
That time I was just helping a relative look at the house. But after they knew what had happened here, they didn't want to move to this neighborhood anymore."
Hearing this, Chu Lintian just then remembered. "Oh, I haven't thanked you properly yet. Thank you for saving Miaomiao."
Saying that, she put down her chopsticks and immediately walked into the room. Then she took out a box from inside.
Judging from the packaging, it was obviously a laptop.
The development of laptops in this era was quite advanced.
The highest - configuration ones could be equipped with an I7 CPU and a discrete graphics card.
However, compared with laptops, Lin Mo preferred desktop computers.
"Please take this gift back. It's not my intention to seek rewards for saving someone. No matter who was attacked, I would have stepped in. For me, this meal today is already a reward."
Lin Mo took the box and put it aside.
Looking into Lin Mo's clear eyes.
Chu Lintian, a strong - willed businesswoman, could tell that he really wasn't pretending to decline.
This was a very independent and self - reliant young man.
In terms of both his way of dealing with people and his abilities, he was far above his peers.
Most importantly, he was pure.
Any woman with a good figure knew she had a good figure.
Because a woman could feel the looks from others. The more looks were focused on her, the more eye - catching she was.
Chu Lintian, a G - level powerhouse, didn't feel many wanton looks today. Or rather, from the moment Lin Mo came in until now.
She had never felt Lin Mo sizing her up.
She knew all too well about that kind of aggressive sizing - up.
But this young man was so upright.
This made Chu Lintian look at Lin Mo with more respect.
Looking at Chu Miaomiao who was eating with her head down, she even thought that maybe it would be better to entrust Miaomiao to such a person.
In fact, Lin Mo had spiritual awareness.
His spiritual awareness had circled around them hundreds of times.
It wasn't that Lin Mo was immune to temptation. It was just that after reaching the Qi - refining stage, he could control his impulses.
However, Lin Mo really enjoyed this thank - you dinner.
The three of them had eight dishes.
Four of the dishes were takeaways and pre - prepared cold dishes.
Lin Mo cleared them all.
Food could also be converted into spiritual energy, and the efficiency was actually quite good.
So Lin Mo was never stingy when it came to eating.
Seeing the dishes on the table and the rice in the pot all gone.
Chu Lintian couldn't help but be stunned.
"No wonder Miaomiao said you're very strong. You can even beat the instructor in an arm - wrestling match. With such a big appetite, it would be strange if you couldn't win."
Lin Mo unceremoniously wiped his mouth with a tissue.
"So I said this meal is already a reward. I usually have to eat the amount of food for two people in one meal, but I can only barely feel full."
Chu Miaomiao was sitting beside Lin Mo. Although she didn't talk much, she seemed to be lost in thought.
Chu Lintian thought for a while and said, "How about this? Come to our place for dinner with Miaomiao every Friday. Anyway, you won't accept the gift. Having a meal here should be okay, right?"
Sure enough, the Chinese people were masters at being euphemistic.
Chu Lintian was rich. It didn't matter if Lin Mo came to eat every day, let alone once a week.
This could also be regarded as repaying the favor.
Lin Mo didn't decline either. It was a good thing to have someone invite him to dinner.
Moreover, having more contact with people would prevent him from being too isolated.
After having his fill, Lin Mo didn't take the laptop with him. He just said goodbye and left.
Chu Miaomiao and Chu Lintian, the mother - daughter pair, were cleaning up in the kitchen.
"Miaomiao, what do you think of Lin Mo?"
Lin Mo?!
Suddenly being asked this question, Chu Miaomiao's hands stopped moving instantly.
She recalled the novel plot she had discussed with Lin Mo, the time he saved her, and the moment when he held her in his arms in the car today.
"He's a good person."
Chu Lintian rolled her eyes. Darling daughter, it's not a good idea to give out the 'good - person card'.
"Then do you like him?"
Chu Lintian had a young - person's way of thinking and was very straightforward.
Being asked so directly, Chu Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, and the bowl in her hand fell into the sink.
"Ah?"
"Stop saying 'ah'. Do you like Lin Mo? I think he's a good young man. Guys like him are very popular. If you don't want him, there will be others scrambling for him."
Chu Lintian seemed very experienced.
Hearing Chu Lintian's words, Chu Miaomiao thought of Jiang Yunlu.
She knew that Jiang Yunlu liked Lin Mo. Or rather, the whole class knew that Jiang Yunlu liked Lin Mo.
"He already has someone who likes him."
Chu Lintian said in frustration, "What about him? Is he in a relationship with anyone? If not, then don't you have a chance?"
Chu Miaomiao shook her head. "It's wrong to take someone else's thing."
"Is Lin Mo someone else's thing? Has Lin Mo said he likes someone? You're so stupid. You have to fight for what you like. Just like the novels you like to read. If you don't follow them, can you read the next chapter?
If you don't add them to your bookshelf, can you see how the story develops next?
Listen to mom. Add him to your 'bookshelf', follow him, and give the author a nudge to update."
"But... will he like me?" Chu Miaomiao lowered her head.
Inferiority and introversion were her trademarks.
Chu Lintian grabbed Chu Miaomiao's face.
"My Miaomiao is so cute and has a great figure. If you really put your mind to it, which man could resist your charm?!"
Looking at Chu Miaomiao, Chu Lintian thought to herself, "She has inherited her aunt's figure and her uncle's personality. I really hope she can end up with Lin Mo."
Chu Miaomiao was thinking about what her mother had said.
Should she add him to her 'bookshelf' and follow him?
Would Lin Mo like her as her mother said?
She wasn't sure, but she seemed to think that what her mother said made sense. Jiang Yunlu hadn't gotten together with Lin Mo yet. Maybe she still had a chance... right?
Right, if you don't add it to the bookshelf, how can you see what happens next?
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years.
