After Tan Mo finished washing up, he had already changed his clothes. The ahoge on his head was also gone, and he had returned to his usual cold and delicate appearance.

Qiao Lan looked at Tan Mo's neat and tidy hair, and for a moment, she was a little disappointed.

Putting that aside, Qiao Lan had been reading a book about Asperger's Disease recently. In the book, it mentioned that this disease could never be cured, but there were other ways to make people with Asperger's Disease closer to normal people. They could slowly understand other people's facial expressions and body movements.

If this disease was only seen as a disease, it would make people unable to communicate with others normally. Thinking like this would undoubtedly be very heavy, but if you changed your way of thinking, for example, if you treated communicating with others as a course, you could treat other people's expressions and body movements as a language that you had never spoken before. It didn't seem too difficult to understand this way.

Because you had never come into contact with it, you couldn't understand it. But if you slowly learned it, you might be able to communicate normally.

Tan Mo didn't know how Qiao Lan was going to teach him. He looked like he was obediently sitting in front of the table, but in fact, his mind was in a mess.

Because Qiao Lan had left her phone on the table when she went out, Tan Mo immediately saw the large letters of "AS" on the book that Qiao Lan was reading.

Then, his whole body froze on the spot.

He didn't know that Qiao Lan already knew that he had AS, and he didn't want Qiao Lan to know, just like how he didn't want Qiao Lan to see his weird legs and embarrassing scars.

But now, he suddenly realized that Qiao Lan already knew. Not only did she know, but she also secretly learned about it.

When did she find out?

How did she find out?

What did she think after finding out?

Did she think that he was weird?

Did she think that he was troublesome …

In less than a minute after Qiao Lan went out, who knew how many thoughts flashed through Tan Mo's mind.

After a while, Qiao Lan found a mirror from somewhere and moved a chair to sit next to Tan Mo. Her arm brushed against his arm from time to time. It was very warm at home, but Tan Mo could feel Qiao Lan's warm skin.

It was much warmer than him.

Qiao Lan put the mirror in front of Tan Mo and said, "Well, let's start with the most basic one, which is smiling. There are many kinds of smiles, such as a small smile, a big laugh, a bitter smile, a cold smile … There are many kinds of smiles. Let's just learn the simplest one, such as the most basic smile. Watch me!"

Tan Mo turned his head.

Ah, so close.

"No matter what kind of smile it is, the corners of the lips are generally raised. Some smiles are slightly raised, while others are slightly raised.

A smile is a commonly used expression. To put it simply, it means to smile a little, a little. You know, a little means that the smile is not too big, so the smile on the corner of the mouth is not too big. That's how I look now. "

Qiao Lan looked at him with a smile and pointed at the corners of her lips. "When the corners of the lips are raised, it usually shows the teeth. Then the eyes will be slightly squinted, and the entire face will be raised." Qiao Lan used her hands to show the upward movement.

"If a person's facial features are like this, then there's a 100% chance that he's smiling. Generally, when people smile, they're in a good mood. A smile can make people more confident and good-looking. When people see each other smiling, their mood will also improve."

Tan Mo shifted his gaze away from Qiao Lan's face, which was so close to his face. He looked away somewhat unnaturally.

He also felt that a person would look better when they smiled.

Just like how Qiao Lan looked right now. Tan Mo felt that she was really very beautiful at this moment.

Moreover, he really seemed to be able to sense emotions. At this moment, his mood was indeed very good.

"Then let's learn to smile first, okay?" Qiao Lan placed the mirror in front of Tan Mo. She still maintained her facial expression. "Like me, when the corners of your lips are raised …"

Tan Mo finally understood why Qiao Lan was looking for a mirror.

He moved his stiff facial muscles and turned his head to look at Qiao Lan. He felt that he had already imprinted Qiao Lan's face deep in his heart. However, when he tried to do it, it was far from that simple.

Normal people didn't need to learn this at all. Their feelings, eyes, mouth, and so on would all spontaneously make corresponding changes. However, for Tan Mo, the feelings in his heart and facial expressions seemed to be different hubs. He needed to issue a second command to control his facial features to make corresponding changes.

It wasn't from the heart, but from imitation.

Just like what Qiao Lan said at the beginning, this process could be compared to learning a new foreign language.

Memorizing the facial expression corresponding to an emotion was like memorizing a new word, but thinking about it again and finding a way to express it. In other words, it was like forming new words into sentences.

Tan Mo remembered when they were taking pictures together in school when he was young. The cameraman shouted at him to smile, but he didn't know what a smile was.

If the cameraman had looked at him like Qiao Lan and told him what to do when he smiled, he might have been able to leave a smiling expression in his childhood.

The corners of his lips should be raised, and his eyes should be slightly narrowed …

Qiao Lan sat beside him, tilting her head and looking at him seriously.

Tan Mo was very serious, but he had never learned like this before, so it was always difficult at the beginning. The corners of his lips were raised, but one was high and the other was low. It didn't look like a smile, but more like a sneer. His eyes were narrowed, and it looked more like he was sizing up someone with a purpose instead of a smile.

"Hmm … Something's not right," Qiao Lan said. She leaned forward a little and suddenly put her finger on Tan Mo's lips. Tan Mo's weird smile froze on his face, and he turned his head to look at her mechanically.

Qiao Lan looked at Tan Mo carefully, then raised her left hand on his chin and pointed at the right corner of his lips with her right hand. "Raise it a little here. Yes, just like that. Don't be nervous, don't be afraid to show your teeth. Our Mo Mo's teeth are so beautiful … Eh, is that orange toothpaste?"

Tan Mo felt Qiao Lan's warm finger on his cheek, and he was so nervous that he didn't know what to do. When he heard Qiao Lan's words, he subconsciously said, "Orange."

"I like orange too," Qiao Lan laughed. "Let's make orange juice later, okay?"

Tan Mo's eyes curved slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Okay."

"Don't move, don't move," Qiao Lan suddenly said anxiously. "Just stay like this," Qiao Lan hurriedly took out her phone.

Tan Mo's smile always looked a little weird, but at that moment, his eyes curved into crescents, and the curve of his lips was especially beautiful. Because he had never smiled before, his facial features were incomparably cold, but at this moment, they slowly melted under his smile.

Facing the sunlight, Qiao Lan recorded this moment of Tan Mo.

Sunshine, youth, smile.

Qiao Lan handed the phone to Tan Mo. "Don't you look good when you smile?"

Tan Mo took the phone, looked at his face on the phone, and raised his head to look at Qiao Lan.

He did look good when he smiled.

But what he was thinking about was Qiao Lan.

She looked the best when she smiled.

Uncle Chen came in from outside, and when he saw the photo, he was shocked for a long time. After he recovered from his shock, he hurriedly asked Qiao Lan to send the photo to him.

Qiao Lan sent a copy of the photo to Uncle Chen and Tan Mo. Then, he stared at the photo for a long time.

If he was so good-looking, he should smile more. He looked even better when he smiled. If he smiled more often, people would like him more, and he would have more friends and understanding people who would approach him.

After that, every day, Qiao Lan and Tan Mo had a new lesson, which was to recognize facial expressions.

They had to recognize them first, and then slowly learn how to imitate them.

When Qiao Lan was reading a book, he saw that there was a recommended software in the book. This software invited the actor who played Harry Potter to show specific facial expressions, body language, and speech characteristics related to emotions. In order to make it easier for people to understand emotions, they also wrote corresponding small events for each emotion.

For example, if you expected to get a gift from your parents on your birthday, but your parents forgot your birthday, you would feel disappointed. For example, if you didn't do anything wrong, but everyone thought you did, you would feel wronged.

Qiao Lan asked Tan Mo to look at the photo first, and then asked him to guess what kind of emotion the actor was trying to express, and what kind of emotion he was showing when he made that expression. After Tan Mo answered, they looked at the corresponding story.

Tan Mo was really smart.

Relying on this learning method, he quickly remembered a lot of facial expressions and body language that corresponded to emotions. He also gradually understood some of the emotions that he couldn't recognize before.

Although for ordinary people, this method of recognition was very inflexible and could make a lot of mistakes, for Tan Mo, it was undoubtedly a kind of improvement.

The summer vacation slowly passed day by day. At the beginning of the vacation, Tan Mo felt that the summer vacation was too long, but now it felt a little too short.

A few days before school was about to start, Aunt Chen finally came back from her hometown. When she came back, she was stunned for a long time when she saw Qiao Lan.

It was said that adolescent girls changed their appearance every day. After not seeing Qiao Lan for a few months, Aunt Chen almost couldn't recognize her.

Qiao Lan's skin was supposed to be very white. After all, Mother Qiao, Second Sister Qiao, and Qiao Yuan were all very white. Elder Sister Qiao was probably malnourished and tired every day, so her complexion was a little pale.

Qiao Lan had been fed by Tan Mo for almost a year. Every day, she was specially prepared nutritious meals and various kinds of nutritional products by the nutritionist. All the things that the girl lacked before were made up. Her skin was no longer dark yellow and gloomy. Finally, she regained the white skin that a girl of her age should have.

Her skin was white, and her facial features, which were already very beautiful, became more prominent. She was like a pearl that had been wiped clean and covered in dust for a long time, revealing her original appearance.

She was originally a delicate and pretty little girl, but suddenly she became a beautiful girl that people couldn't take their eyes off of.

Her facial features were exquisite, her figure was excellent, and her legs were long and slender. If she walked on the street, she would definitely be a stunning existence that attracted people's attention.

Qiao Lan looked at herself in the mirror and finally believed the description of Qiao Lan's appearance in the book. She also finally believed that a person's skin color had a great impact on their appearance.

Tan Mo sat in his wheelchair and listened to Aunt Chen repeatedly praise Qiao Lan's beauty. He also felt a little proud, as if the person that Aunt Chen was praising was not Qiao Lan, but him.

Finally, it was the last day of the holiday. Qiao Lan packed up her things and went back to school early. She tidied up the dormitory and reported to school tomorrow morning.

Speaking of which, she was a little nervous. She didn't know which class she would be assigned to, and she didn't know if she would be assigned to the same class as Tan Mo.

Uncle Chen happily sent Qiao Lan to school in person. When he left, he left a sentence and told her not to worry.

Qiao Lan left in a hurry, so she didn't hear him clearly and didn't react. When school officially started the next day, she went to the display board and found the class assignment. When she saw that both her and Tan Mo's names were in Class 18, she smiled softly.

So this was what he meant when he said not to worry.
