Tan Mo liked to watch Marvel movies, but today's Marvel movie was definitely the best he had ever watched. It was not only the first time he sat in a movie theater with normal people, the first time he watched a 3D movie with 3D glasses, but also the first time he sat here with Qiao Lan and the person he liked. He felt everything that he had never felt before.

He finally walked out and came into contact with a new world. And when he came into contact with a new world, he had the person he liked by his side.

He could hear the men and women who occasionally passed by saying that they were a good match. He saw many people who couldn't help but look back when they passed by. This kind of sweet misunderstanding made him more and more intoxicated.

It was as if he could deceive himself like this, as if everything was real.

But when he returned to school, this sweet torture seemed to have just begun.

The reason was simple. Tan Mo and Qiao Lan went out to watch movies and go shopping. Unfortunately, they were bumped into by classmates from the same school.

Several boys went to watch Marvel movies together. From afar, they saw Tan Mo and Qiao Lan wearing "couple outfits." Not only that, they were also buying popcorn hand in hand.

Watching a movie together and holding hands. If they weren't a couple, then what were they?

Although many people thought that they might have been together since Tan Mo returned to school, it was just a guess. After all, even the students of Class 18 didn't see them being too intimate.

Now, someone finally bumped into Tan Mo and Qiao Lan. Although they weren't in the same class, Tan Mo and Qiao Lan were famous people in Affiliated High School. They wouldn't mistake them, not to mention that photos were taken.

A week passed. Tan Mo and Qiao Lan didn't know anything, but other people already believed that they were a couple.

Hao Ying was completely hurt this time.

Although everyone had been talking about it before, according to Hao Ying's daily observation, Qiao Lan and Tan Mo didn't do anything too intimate except talk to each other. As a result, she was hit in the head.

She couldn't pretend to be stupid even if she wanted to.

Hao Ying was so resentful that she didn't even want to listen to class. She stared bitterly at the back of Qiao Lan's head. After staring for a long time, she moved her gaze to Tan Mo.

She felt even more upset and aggrieved.

He was on guard against everyone, including Chen Yaoyang and the boys from other classes who wanted to pursue Qiao Lan. However, he was not on guard against Tan Mo.

In fact, Hao Ying was still on guard at the beginning. She had noticed that Qiao Lan and Tan Mo were very close before, but after Tan Mo left, she gradually forgot about it.

But who would have thought that Tan Mo, who had disappeared for almost a year, would come back? Not only did he come back, but he also came back in one piece. He didn't even give Hao Ying time to adapt before he took Qiao Lan away.

The more Hao Ying thought about it, the more aggrieved and sad she felt. But after she calmed down, she felt that if this person was Tan Mo, it would be useless.

Now that he thought about it, there seemed to be a wall between Tan Mo and Qiao Lan that no one else could enter. No one could step in.

Because of this, Hao Ying felt even more desperate. She clearly realized that she really didn't have a chance.

Compared to others, she was quite superior. But compared to Tan Mo, how was she superior?

After thinking about it, it seemed that only height could beat Tan Mo. Hao Ying was 1.88 meters tall, but Tan Mo shouldn't be that tall.

However, Tan Mo was known as a genius. His height didn't reduce his charm much. Moreover, Tan Mo's height was increasing at a visible rate.

Because of his disability, Tan Mo's two years of recovery had been delayed. After crazily exercising and supplementing his body with nutrition, Tan Mo had quickly recovered. In just over two months, Tan Mo had changed a lot of his old pants.

Qiao Lan and Tan Mo were walking side by side as they talked. When they turned around, they could see the young man's delicate jawline. Just as they were about to say something, their attention was instantly attracted by the difference in height between the two.

"Mo Mo," Qiao Lan looked at Tan Mo from head to toe. She reached out her hand and said, "Did you grow taller?"

Qiao Lan was 170cm. She was quite tall for a girl. Before, when she talked to Tan Mo, she didn't feel that there was a height difference. But today, there was suddenly a height difference.

"Yeah," Tan Mo seemed to be in a good mood after his height was mentioned. His lips curled up into a smile. Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the surrounding students who were looking at them again. He deliberately lowered his head and whispered in Qiao Lan's ear, "I'm 181cm now …"

Qiao Lan was speechless.

Three centimeters taller in two months?

The girl's surprised expression was reflected in Tan Mo's eyes. The smile in his eyes deepened. He really liked this angle. When he looked at Qiao Lan from this height, he could look at her without any scruples. He could look at her long and thick eyelashes that were like small fans, look at her high nose bridge and rosy lips, but she wouldn't notice.

Qiao Lan didn't know what Tan Mo was thinking. She remembered that the internet once said that 179cm was the dividing line for a boy's height. There was only a difference of two centimeters between 180cm and 178cm, but it gave people a completely different feeling.

Looking at Tan Mo now, Qiao Lan completely agreed with this saying. He was only three centimeters taller. But when she looked at Tan Mo again, he was already about to raise his head.

Tan Mo would definitely be even taller in the future. The late puberty of a young man was indeed a little scary.

Qiao Lan suddenly felt a little strange. The young man that she used to squat down to take care of and talk to had become much taller than her in the blink of an eye.

Every day in the third year of high school seemed to be too short and not enough. During the mid-term exam, after Qiao Lan's recent conscientious "teaching" of biology, Tan Mo's biology score, which was originally lacking, improved by leaps and bounds. He quickly caught up with and even surpassed his own little teacher, and his overall score returned to first place again.

Everyone seemed to have expected this result. They weren't surprised or stunned. But many people sighed. The school's rule against puppy love didn't apply to geniuses and straight-A students.

During class, the physics teacher even deliberately called out Qiao Lan's name and immediately called out Tan Mo's name. He had an expression of "I know everything" on his face. He didn't look at all like those ferocious students who wanted to strangle puppy love in the cradle.

The homeroom teacher remembered that Qiao Lan had promised him a month ago that she definitely wasn't in a relationship with Tan Mo. But in the end, in less than a month, the other teachers in the office all knew about it.

The homeroom teacher felt that this influence wasn't too good, so he prepared to talk to Qiao Lan and Tan Mo again. In the end, he coincidentally heard the conversation between Tan Mo and Qiao Lan. Qiao Lan said that next time, she would definitely surpass Tan Mo. Tan Mo smiled and said, "I'll wait for you."

Seeing this kind of puppy love that was full of "studiousness" and "progress", the homeroom teacher struggled for a long time. In the end, he decided to turn a blind eye to it.

Forget it, I'll just pretend that I didn't see it.

It was inevitable that some students couldn't help but feel jealous. They said that the school rules were like farts to good students these days. As a result, they were criticized by many people.

If you had the ability, your grades would be as good as Tan Mo's, Qiao Lan's. At that time, even if you wanted to go to heaven, no one would care.

Everyone except Bai Yu believed that she and Tan Mo were really in a relationship. At the beginning, Qiao Lan would still explain, but later on, she simply didn't explain. There was no need to explain, and she didn't want to.

"I'm really too despicable," Qiao Lan thought to herself. She secretly took advantage of Tan Mo again.

Fortunately, Tan Mo was a fool in this aspect. He didn't know anything.

The weather in the north changed at will. Winter came at will. Suddenly, the temperature dropped, and the whole of S City ushered in an influenza epidemic.

The influenza epidemic came fiercely. The demand for paper towels in the school supermarket suddenly increased. The number of people who went to the school doctor to get medicine also increased.

Qiao Lan had been fed by Tan Mo for nearly two years. She also persisted in running every day, so her physical fitness was very good. However, she couldn't stop someone in the dormitory from catching a cold. One person infected two people, two people infected three people. In the end, she couldn't escape the clutches of the influenza epidemic.

The weather outside had already reached below zero. It was very cold. There was a heater in the classroom, but it was definitely not too warm.

When she woke up early to memorize books, she already had a headache. When the morning self-study session began, the buzzing sound of students memorizing books lingered in her ears. Her originally messy head became even heavier. Following the rhythm of Bai Yu blowing her nose every two minutes, Qiao Lan lay on the table and fell asleep.

It was still morning self-study. The class hadn't ended yet. After all, it wasn't time to sleep. Qiao Lan didn't sleep very well. After some time, she raised her head and glanced at the podium. She didn't see the English teacher coming in, so she drowsily closed her eyes again.

After that, it seemed that when the class was over, Shui Mu Nian's "I have you in my life" rang out. Qiao Lan finally fell asleep peacefully until a cold hand gently fell on her forehead. The sudden chill woke Qiao Lan up abruptly. She turned her head sideways and opened her eyes. Her eyes met with Tan Mo's beautiful light brown eyes.

The young man was slightly helpless as if he had done something wrong. His eyes were slightly drifting, but he still approached Qiao Lan and whispered, "Is my hand too cold?"

He had already warmed his hand for a while before he went to test the temperature of Qiao Lan's hand. However, it was still cold to the point that Qiao Lan felt cold.

Qiao Lan shook her head. "No." She didn't have any strength in her body. She stared at the young man's retracted hand in a daze. However, she noticed that there was an obvious bruise on his pale wrist.

The warm hand grabbed Tan Mo's wrist. Tan Mo didn't know if it was because of the pain from being grabbed or because he was scalded by Qiao Lan's hand, but he trembled slightly.

Probably because of the high fever, Qiao Lan became bolder. Her voice was slightly hoarse, and there was a soft tone that even she didn't notice. Her fingertips scratched the bruise, causing Tan Mo's body to stiffen.

"What's going on here?"

"… I accidentally bumped into something," Tan Mo said.

It was actually an injury from when he was learning kickboxing.

Qiao Lan stared at the bruise for a long time before letting go of her hand.

"Idiot."

Even her reprimanding voice was so soft that it made people's hearts tremble.

Tan Mo took a deep breath and looked away from Qiao Lan's cheek.

"You have a fever."

"Yeah." Qiao Lan buried her cheek in her arm again. "It's a low fever. I'll be fine after a short nap."

The young man beside her didn't say anything else. Qiao Lan fell asleep again. She didn't know how long she slept, but Tan Mo, who was still cold from outside, woke her up.

The temperature of the water was just right for drinking, and the medicine was wrapped in a tissue. The young man lowered his head and carefully divided a large piece of medicine into four portions.

"Where did you get the medicine?"

"The infirmary," Tan Mo said as he handed the medicine to Qiao Lan. "Take the medicine and go back to sleep. I've already told the teacher."

"Okay." Qiao Lan continued to lie on the table after taking the medicine. After a while, she felt a weight on her shoulder. A jacket was draped over her shoulder. Qiao Lan smelled the familiar fresh scent that she had smelled in Tan Mo's wardrobe. When she looked up again, she saw that Tan Mo was only wearing a thin woolen sweater and a school jacket.

Qiao Lan took off her jacket and wanted to return it, but Tan Mo stubbornly draped it over her shoulder again. The young man leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I'm not cold."

Qiao Lan looked at the thin jacket he was wearing.

How could he not be cold?

"You're really not cold." Tan Mo helped her put on the jacket again. His cold fingers gently rubbed Qiao Lan's cheek. He smiled and whispered, "You forgot that I can't feel cold."

Qiao Lan's heart suddenly ached.

Bai Yu, who had been sitting at the back and watching the whole process, looked at Qiao Lan lying on her stomach and then at Tan Mo, who was only wearing a thin school jacket. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and yelled at her deskmate, "I'm sick!"

Her deskmate was dumbfounded. "I know." You've almost used up a roll of paper during the morning self-study session.

"Don't you have anything to say?"

"Didn't I contribute all my paper to you?"

Bai Yu: "…"

"I'm cold."

"… So?"

"Give me your jacket."

"What am I supposed to wear if you give it to me?

The heater is fake, and the classroom is so cold … "

Bai Yu: "…"

Get lost!
