When Lin Yu led Gu Yue to meet Qing Mo, her rosy lips formed a surprised 'O'. Before they reached the stunningly beautiful sister who looked almost unreal, she secretly elbowed Lin Yu twice, gritting her teeth as she whispered:
"Is she your girlfriend?"
"You've succumbed to capital after all!"
Gu Yue said, stamping her foot lightly, wearing an expression of anxiousness that seemed to ask, 'how could you fall so low?'
Lin Yu gave her a sidelong glance and said softly,
"She's not."
"Stop talking nonsense."
"Remember to be sweet-tongued later."
"Your quality of life for the next half-year of university entirely depends on her mood!"
Gu Yue tilted her head slightly, looking somewhat puzzled, not fully understanding what Lin Yu meant, but she didn't say anything more.
Her motto was: I might not understand, but I'll obey.
After all, Lin Yu wouldn't lie to her...
...
Hmm...
Well, that's not necessarily guaranteed!
When Qing Mo saw the young girl beside Lin Yu, she didn't show any surprise, as if she had known about this person all along.
The three of them gathered, and Gu Yue sweetly called out, "Hello, sister."
Qing Mo didn't speak. She merely glanced at her, gave a slight nod to acknowledge the greeting.
"Let's go!"
"Time to eat."
Lin Yu, Qing Mo, and Gu Yue walked together towards the school gate.
On the way, seeing that Qing Mo was completely ignoring Gu Yue, Lin Yu cleared his throat with a cough, almost...
It was practically an open-handed beg!
"Ahem!"
"She even called you 'sister.' For a first meeting, shouldn't you offer some kind of gesture?"
Qing Mo glanced sideways at Lin Yu. Without a word, she simply raised her hand, took off the watch from her wrist, and handed it to Gu Yue.
Gu Yue was stunned, clearly not grasping the situation. She turned to look at Lin Yu, the confusion in her eyes seeming to ask him,
'Is it really okay to ask for things so blatantly?'
Under Lin Yu's prompting gaze, Gu Yue cupped her hands to receive the watch and sweetly said,
"Thank you, sister."
"You're welcome."
Qing Mo's red lips parted slightly, her tone as calm and aloof as ever.
Qing Mo's indifferent attitude towards Gu Yue suddenly made Lin Yu feel a trace of unfamiliarity towards her.
But upon second thought, Lin Yu felt it wasn't really a problem.
Given Qing Mo's status and personality, for the vast majority of her life, she should have treated outsiders with just such an icy, distant attitude...
...
Hmm
But why wasn't that his impression of her?
She was clingy, troublesome, a nuisance, perverted, and lustful...
Lin Yu stroked his chin, smacked his lips twice, and suddenly realized Qing Mo was actually a rare gem.
To others, cold as ice, lofty and unattainable.
To him, obedient and compliant, probably willing to try any position he wanted...
Thinking of this, Lin Yu sighed inwardly with mixed feelings.
What a pity.
Truly a pity.
A pity that he was already taken.
This old cow, Qing Mo, ultimately wouldn't get the chance to taste this tender young grass.
A pity.
Truly a pity.
Lin Yu tutted twice, shaking his head secretly.
Lin Yu's mannerisms piqued Qing Mo's curiosity, but she didn't ask further. It was just as well she didn't; if she knew what Lin Yu was thinking, she'd probably want to swap their initials with him.
Women of any age dislike hearing the word 'old.'
Although Qing Mo was only 26 this year, compared to Lin Yu, she was indeed a bit older.
That was an unchangeable fact.
Even though from an outsider's perspective, everyone would think Lin Yu, that big lump of charcoal, was the one six years older, Lin Yu's thinking wasn't entirely wrong.
It was just a bit shameless.
The three of them were halfway to the school gate when a girl suddenly jogged over. Her mushroom-cut brown short hair fluttered, her petite, lovely face flushed red, half shyness and half timidity. She stopped beside the three of them, and without even catching her breath, she gazed at them affectionately and spoke softly:
"Can I get to know you?"
When the girl stopped beside them, Lin Yu's eyebrows had already furrowed.
Again?
Is there no end to this?
Beneath the strong emotions of irritation and annoyance, deep down, Lin Yu actually felt a tiny bit of smugness.
After all, being hit on, especially by a pretty girl, was never something to be embarrassed about.
You could even brag about it!
Seeing Gu Yue's shocked expression beside him, Lin Yu's lips twitched up then down as he forced a look of impatience. He was just about to refuse when he noticed the girl's affectionate gaze had shifted away!
It had followed the striding Qing Mo!
Lin Yu's expression now mirrored Gu Yue's perfectly—eyes wide, face full of disbelief.
The cute mushroom-haired girl looked wronged, watching Qing Mo's unhesitating retreating back, and finished her unspoken words pitifully.
"Sister..."
Lin Yu's dark face turned oddly even darker.
Actually, he was blushing at his own presumption, but thankfully, when a face was dark enough, no other color could show through.
Gu Yue's expression remained unchanged, still shocked, as if she had always believed the girl was there to hit on Qing Mo.
Thinking about it, that made sense. Aside from those with ulterior motives, who would fall in love at first sight with a big lump of charcoal?
In the blink of an eye, Qing Mo had walked quite far ahead. Lin Yu and Gu Yue quickly jogged a few steps to catch up.
Once they caught up, Lin Yu stared at her flawlessly exquisite profile for a moment. Remembering the lesbian who had ruined Qing Mo's plans that one night, he asked curiously:
"Do a lot of women like you?"
Qing Mo thought for a moment, then nodded and said:
"There are some."
Lin Yu stared at Qing Mo a while longer, trying to find on her excessively beautiful face the reason she killed it with both genders.
But after a while, he stopped looking.
She's just stunningly beautiful.
What's there to analyze?
If he had to pinpoint something besides her looks that attracted people of the same sex, perhaps it was her aloof demeanor.
Paired with her coldly gorgeous, peerlessly beautiful face, the lethality was indeed immense!
Arriving at the school gate, Lin Yu looked at Qing Mo and asked:
"What car did you drive here?"
Qing Mo loved driving sports cars, but sports cars usually only seat two. This time, Gu Yue was coming along, so a sports car wouldn't fit.
To avoid awkwardness, Lin Yu wanted to ask what car she was driving first.
Qing Mo seemed to sense Lin Yu's concern and replied flatly:
"There's enough room, don't worry."
Hearing this, Lin Yu nodded, relieved.
"Where's your car?"
Outside the school gate, Lin Yu turned his head left and right, searching for Qing Mo's car.
Barring any surprises, Qing Mo's car would definitely be the most eye-catching one. Lin Yu wondered if he could guess which one.
Lin Yu craned his neck looking around. Before he could identify which car it was, his gaze unexpectedly swept over someone who shouldn't possibly be here.
