When Tan Mo was still around, Qiao Lan had never thought that she would be able to beat Tan Mo. But now that Tan Mo was back, Qiao Lan suddenly saw the possibility of surpassing Tan Mo in the exams.

Qiao Lan's biology was unexpectedly good.

She used to be a liberal arts student and had never studied biology. Now that she was starting over again, she didn't expect herself to be so talented in biology. She usually got close to full marks in biology exams.

Regardless of what would happen in the future, Qiao Lan was still very confident about her upcoming exams. She glanced at Tan Mo, who was reading his biology book seriously. Suddenly, Qiao Lan's interest was piqued. She poked Tan Mo and said, "Mo Mo, why don't we make a bet?"

Tan Mo's face stiffened when Qiao Lan called him "Mo Mo" again. He didn't care about what Qiao Lan wanted to bet with him. His face remained expressionless, but there seemed to be some hesitation in his eyes. He whispered, "… Don't call me Mo Mo."

Qiao Lan didn't notice at first. She just called him that casually. Now that Tan Mo pointed it out, Qiao Lan also lowered her voice and laughed for a while before saying, "Aunt Chen calls you Mo Mo every day. You don't stop her from calling you that."

How could Aunt Chen be the same?

Tan Mo raised his head and looked at the class teacher, who was in the middle of a lecture. He was still very principled. For example, he could choose not to study or listen in class, but he couldn't talk.

However, if he was talking to Qiao Lan, Tan Mo decisively abandoned his principles. He lowered his head slightly and turned to continue saying, "Aunt Chen is an elder."

Qiao Lan lowered her head a little. There was a tall stack of books on the table. When she lowered her head, it blocked their heads. Qiao Lan blinked. "Did you forget that I'm a few months older than you?"

Tan Mo: "…"

"You're not 17 yet."

Tan Mo: "…"

Tan Mo's 17th birthday was next month. He began to regret bringing up this topic. He decisively picked up Qiao Lan's topic and asked, "What kind of bet?"

Qiao Lan also raised her head and glanced at the podium. The class teacher was still enthusiastically teaching. She covered her face with a book and continued saying, "Forget about the first monthly exam. It's too close. I bet you won't get first place in the mid-term exam."

Tan Mo smiled and looked at her. "Are you number one?"

"Of course." Qiao Lan used to be worried about Chen Yaoyang, but now, she had nothing to worry to worry.

Tan Mo looked at the biology book in front of him, thought about it, and agreed. "Sure, what do you want to bet?"

Qiao Lan hadn't thought about it yet, so she asked Tan Mo, "What do you want to bet?"

"Let's wait until the mid-term results are out. Whoever has the highest score will ask the other to do something."

"Even if you don't want to bet, I'll agree to do whatever you want me to do," Qiao Lan said. However, her voice was too soft for Tan Mo to hear. "What did you say?"

"I said …"

After all, they were in class and it wasn't good to be too loud. Qiao Lan could only move closer and was about to repeat what she just said. Just as she was about to speak, Bai Yu suddenly poked her with her finger.

Qiao Lan was stunned. She was about to turn around and ask Bai Yu what happened, but then she realized that the class teacher's passionate voice had disappeared. She looked up and saw the class teacher's round eyes.

"Qiao Lan, Tan Mo, did you have a good chat?"

The class teacher shouted and poked the blackboard with her finger. "Look at the blackboard in class. Look at me!

The blackboard is here! "

Not on the deskmate's face!

She didn't need to listen to class just because she had good grades?

How could he be so reckless just to secure the first place this time?

Tan Mo never listened in class. The teachers were already used to it. They knew that listening in class was a waste of time for this child. Therefore, the teachers definitely wouldn't care if Tan Mo looked at other books in class.

However, even if he didn't listen in class, he shouldn't have talked so much in class. It would cause many students to stop listening and look at them.

After the class teacher shouted, the whole class looked at Qiao Lan and Tan Mo with meaningful expressions. Qiao Lan's ears suddenly felt hot.

The class teacher had taught students for so many years and instantly realized that something was wrong.

It wasn't from Qiao Lan and Tan Mo, but from the students next to them.

The class teacher had long realized that as long as the teachers didn't know that the students next to them were looking at their partners, or those who hadn't had the time to look at their partners, the students next to them would definitely know. Sometimes, when they called out the names of two people, the expressions of the surrounding students would definitely be very interesting. Some of the bolder ones would even jeer.

Today, the class teacher caught Qiao Lan and Tan Mo talking in class. Although they didn't jeer, looking at the surrounding students' eyes, the class teacher instantly became vigilant.

The class teacher's attitude towards good students and bad students was completely different. This was especially true for top students like Qiao Lan and Tan Mo. The class teacher stared at the two of them in silence for a long time and said, "Come to my office after class."

After that, she added, "Qiao Lan comes first."

Qiao Lan and Tan Mo: "…"

After class, the class teacher's actions seemed to have suddenly given the two of them some kind of certification. Not to mention the other students who were talking about it, even Bai Yu felt that something was wrong.

Bai Yu ran over and followed Qiao Lan out of the classroom. She asked her, "What were you two talking about in class?"

"We were betting on who would score higher in the mid-term exam." Qiao Lan was mentally exhausted and simply didn't know what to say.

Bai Yu: "Why are you two so close to each other for a bet?

Also, you don't know how long the class teacher stood on the podium and stared at the two of you! "

Qiao Lan: "…"

Bai Yu turned around and glanced at Hao Ying in the classroom. She happened to meet Hao Ying's gaze and instantly felt that this brother of hers was a little pitiful. Her gaze landed on Qiao Lan's face again and then moved down to the jade pendant on Qiao Lan's neck. She really couldn't hold back the questions that she hadn't asked before.

She had seen Qiao Lan's eyes turn red from crying on the day Tan Mo came back. Qiao Lan was usually a person who didn't have any emotional fluctuations, so that time really gave Bai Yu a fright. After that, not only did she see Qiao Lan cry, but she also saw Qiao Lan let Tan Mo help her wipe her tears.

Although the two of them looked even better together, their actions were ambiguous no matter how one looked at it.

Bai Yu thought about the number of times Qiao Lan had unconsciously mentioned Tan Mo in the dormitory recently. She took a deep breath and said, "Lan Lan, really. Let me ask you something."

"Go ahead."

"Do you … like Tan Mo?"

Qiao Lan was silent for a long time before she whispered, "Is it that obvious?"

F * ck!

Bai Yu almost jumped out of her chair. "Really?"

"No, no." Qiao Lan hurriedly waved her hand. After saying that, she felt that something was wrong. Her delicate brows furrowed together and she hesitated for a long time before she said, "Actually, I don't know either."

She really didn't know.

Ever since Tan Mo went to America, Qiao Lan couldn't help but think about Tan Mo. Qiao Lan felt that something was wrong, but when she thought about it more deeply, it didn't seem to be the case.

She asked if she liked Tan Mo. Of course, she liked him. If she didn't like him, why did she still miss him and want to take care of him?

However, there were too many kinds of feelings. Friends, family, they could all be feelings. What kind of feelings did she have for Tan Mo?

Family, friends, all of them. Did she have feelings for him in that way?

Sometimes, Qiao Lan felt that she had feelings for him, and sometimes, she didn't. Sometimes, when she suddenly met Tan Mo's eyes, her heart would suddenly beat faster. For example, when she was called out by the teacher, she would feel that something was wrong and her ears would burn. At times like this, Qiao Lan felt that she did have feelings for him.

However, most of the time, Qiao Lan didn't have such feelings. When she looked into Tan Mo's beautiful light brown eyes, she didn't have any evil thoughts at all.

Qiao Lan thought about it for a few days and finally figured out the reason. From the beginning, she didn't seem to see Tan Mo as a woman. She took care of Tan Mo because he was her favorite character in the book. Later, she pitied him because of his pitiful appearance. Tan Mo was the most special existence to her.

Therefore, when she faced Tan Mo, she usually didn't feel anything. However, when Tan Mo showed some of the unique charm of a man, Qiao Lan suddenly broke through the cognitive barrier and blushed a little.

Therefore, when Bai Yu asked her whether she liked Tan Mo or not, Qiao Lan really didn't know.

However, there was a saying that when you started to think about whether you liked someone or not, you had already liked them long ago.

When she went to the homeroom teacher's office, there was only the homeroom teacher in the office. She pointed at the seat in front of her and asked Qiao Lan to sit down. Then, she said, "Do you know why the teacher is looking for you?"

"Yes," Qiao Lan said, "I'm sorry, teacher. I won't talk in class anymore."

The homeroom teacher was speechless. Although her attitude of admitting her mistake was correct, this was a small problem.

"It's good that you know you're wrong." The homeroom teacher really couldn't scold the student she admired the most like how she scolded Hao Ying. She coughed and continued, "Other than this, what's going on between you and Tan Mo?"

Qiao Lan said, "… Teacher, there's nothing between us …"

"Your grades are very good, so I'm very confident in you. However, you're still young, and you're in your third year of high school. If you want to date, you can wait until after the college entrance examination. Dating now is a waste of time.

Your grades are very good, so if you work hard, you'll definitely be able to get into the top two universities in the country. When that time comes, you can date however you want. I won't stop you … "

… Teacher, you're thinking too far ahead.

Qiao Lan was still thinking about her feelings for Tan Mo. She didn't understand anything at all, and Tan Mo didn't understand anything either. Qiao Lan seriously assured the homeroom teacher, "Teacher, there's really nothing between us. There's nothing wrong, and we're not … dating. Teacher, you've really misunderstood."

The homeroom teacher looked at Qiao Lan suspiciously. "Really?"

"Really."

The homeroom teacher was silent for a long time. "Forget it, you go back first. Let Tan Mo come in."

After Tan Mo entered the office, the homeroom teacher and Tan Mo looked at each other in silence for a long time. The homeroom teacher then said, "I'm very happy that you can stand up and come back to school."

Therefore, Tan Mo looked at the homeroom teacher in silence.

The homeroom teacher suddenly had a headache. She was so happy talking to Qiao Lan just now, but now she was like a mute. However, when she remembered the words of the old man who was responsible for taking care of Tan Mo when she first took over Tan Mo, she suppressed her anger.

"I called you here mainly because of you and Qiao Lan."
