Maybe it was because Tan Mo was too eye-catching in his thin school uniform on such a cold day, or maybe it was because the two of them were too eye-catching in the first place. Even the biology teacher who came into class kept glancing at Qiao Lan and Tan Mo from time to time.

The biology teacher thought that Tan Mo had taken the initiative to come to his office to look for him. But in the end, Tan Mo came to ask for leave, not for himself, but for his deskmate. He said that his deskmate was sick and asked her to sleep well in class.

The biology teacher finally understood how the homeroom teacher felt when he asked Tan Mo to talk to him. There were many students who secretly fell in love these days, but none of them were like Tan Mo, who openly fell in love at such a young age.

But he had no choice but to agree. Qiao Lan was his proudest student. Now that she was so sick, if he didn't agree to Tan Mo's request, it would seem that he was heartless and unreasonable.

Because of this, the biology teacher couldn't help but glance at Qiao Lan and Tan Mo. Then he looked at Tan Mo's thin clothes and couldn't help but shiver.

It seemed that the heating in the school wasn't good enough.

After class, Hao Ying's good buddies patted Hao Ying's shoulder. "Bro, accept your fate."

It wasn't that they were trying to discourage him, but compared to Tan Mo, he didn't have any fighting ability. Tan Mo wasn't worse than him in any way. Previously, they thought that Tan Mo's height was his weakness, but it was as if he was on steroids.

Maybe one day he would be as tall as Hao Ying.

Now, in the eyes of these buddies, even Hao Ying couldn't compare to Tan Mo, let alone Qiao Lan.

"As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Qiao Lan thinks that Tan Mo is good in every way, not to mention that he's even better than Qiao Lan. So, bro, accept your fate."

Hao Ying: …???

Are you still my bro? Can you not be so hurtful with your words? It's already sad enough. Do you have to add insult to injury?

"Actually, there's another way," the boy next to him suddenly said. "A way to make Qiao Lan like you."

His tone was deep and he looked very serious.

Hao Ying's eyes lit up. "What's the solution?"

"That's …"

Then, he announced loudly, "Quick, recommend 'The Cold Prince Falls in Love with Me' to Qiao Lan!"

'The Cold Prince Falls in Love with Me' was a very popular ancient puppet drama recently. It would be on the hot search every day after it was broadcasted. The male lead, Shi Xingyu, was on the hot search every day. He was very popular. Wherever he went, there were new fans of Shi Xingyu who had recently attracted new fans.

I forgot to mention that Shi Xingyu was the celebrity who looked like Hao Ying's biological brother. He was a popular and popular celebrity.

Hao Ying was speechless.

.........

"Scram, scram, scram, scram!" Hao Ying kicked him away.

"I'm just kidding, bro. I just want to cheer you up. Actually, think about it. You have no chance with Qiao Lan. She's going to enter X University in the future. Let's look at our results and know that it's impossible. Your results are the same as Tan Mo or Chen Yaoyang …"

The group of people finally got rid of this big brother who loved to speak the truth and did not know how to read people's faces. Although he was speaking the truth, it seemed that he was telling the truth. If he continued, Hao Ying might really cry.

Qiao Lan took her medicine and went to bed early. Her body was in good condition. She gradually recovered two days later. Bai Yu blew her nose and swore, "When I recover from this cold, I'll definitely go jogging with you."

They were both 17 or 18 years old, but Qiao Lan's immune system was much better than hers. Qiao Lan had a fever, but she recovered after two days. She still felt dizzy every day.

Bai Yu hung a trash bag next to her desk. It was specially used to store paper. She opened a new roll of paper and chatted with Qiao Lan casually. "Lan Lan, why do you want to take the finance major? I can't think of a major I want to study. My parents want me to go to a normal school. I don't want to be a teacher even if I die …"

This was the norm when applying for a major. Many parents wanted their children to apply for a normal school or study medicine. However, many students avoided these two majors. They had the same idea as Bai Yu. They would rather die than become a teacher.

After all, they had been students for more than ten years and had been bullied by their teachers for more than ten years. It was normal for them to have some rebellious thoughts.

However, when they started looking for a job after graduation, it would be difficult to find a job. A large number of students would start to regret not listening to their parents' advice. Some graduates from normal schools would directly work in schools after graduation. Other than that, many people would start to envy the teachers for having two holidays.

However, not everyone had the same idea. Qiao Lan and Bai Yu chatted for a while about applying for a major in the future. When they turned around, Tan Mo closed the book in his hand and asked Qiao Lan, "Why do you want to study finance?"

Tan Mo was clearly reading a book just now. It seemed like he wasn't paying attention. Tan Mo actually heard her chatting with Bai Yu.

Qiao Lan coughed softly and pretended to be serious. "Tan Mo, please correct your learning attitude."

Tan Mo was stunned and didn't say anything for a while. Qiao Lan suddenly realized that she was joking with Tan Mo.

Tan Mo couldn't understand her teasing.

Perhaps it was because Tan Mo had been too normal recently and couldn't see any difference between him and other people. Therefore, Qiao Lan sometimes forgot that Tan Mo also had Asperger's disease.

The main characteristic of Asperger's disease was that it couldn't distinguish all information other than language, such as eye contact, facial expression, or some body movements. However, it was also very difficult for them to understand some joking expressions.

Qiao Lan remembered that when she was reading the book on Asperger's disease, someone gave an example. A successful entrepreneur talked about his Asperger's disease in a speech and used the simplest example to explain the inconvenience of this disease.

This entrepreneur said that a friend had once teased him.

"Can I ask your watch what time it is now?"

For normal people, this was a humorous and interesting way of telling the world. However, for this entrepreneur, he couldn't understand it.

He just felt that he couldn't understand it because his watch couldn't talk. It couldn't tell his friend what time it was.

Therefore, in a situation where he was wearing a watch and knew what time it was, he replied to his friend, "I don't know."

What happened after that was easy to understand. His friend thought that he had deliberately rejected him and slowly distanced himself from him.

It was a long time later that he realized what he had done wrong.

A successful entrepreneur who was almost 40 years old couldn't understand his friend asking him the time. Tan Mo, who had just turned 17, understood Qiao Lan's sudden teasing. It was really too difficult for him.

Qiao Lan's "please correct your learning attitude" was more like a scolding from Qiao Lan in Tan Mo's eyes.

Qiao Lan looked at Tan Mo's stunned face and hurriedly changed her words. "What I meant was that I saw you reading a book just now, so I thought you didn't hear what we were talking about."

Tan Mo was stunned and suddenly thought of something. After a long time, he nodded.

Although Tan Mo was still expressionless, Qiao Lan was too familiar with Tan Mo. Seeing his sudden silence, she knew that this seemingly small thing had affected him.

Qiao Lan could only quickly change the topic and continue the question Tan Mo asked her just now.

"I didn't know what I wanted to learn before. I was a little interested in stocks and casually thought about finance. Bai Yu and the others asked me before, so I answered casually."

Tan Mo was finally distracted by Qiao Lan. "You like stocks?"

"Not really, just a little interested." Qiao Lan smiled. "I once read the biography of the" Stock God "by chance and felt that it was very impressive. That's all."

Impressive … very impressive?

Tan Mo looked down thoughtfully. Qiao Lan tilted her head and looked at Tan Mo who was deep in thought again. She suddenly remembered the new profession that she wanted to learn before.

It was something that she wanted to learn after knowing Tan Mo. Later, Tan Mo left temporarily and Tan Mo became more and more normal. However, after today, Qiao Lan picked up the original idea again.

How could she forget that Asperger's disease could not be cured in one's lifetime?

Coincidentally, when everyone was talking, Tan Mo accompanied Qiao Lan beside him. He didn't say anything and just listened to the others talk. Coincidentally, someone told a very funny joke.

Everyone, including Qiao Lan, couldn't stop laughing. Only Tan Mo was expressionless.

The guy who told the joke looked up and saw Tan Mo who didn't laugh or speak. He was suddenly scared and doubted himself. "Isn't … isn't it funny?"

Is it funny?

Tan Mo asked in his heart. He really didn't hear anything funny about the joke.

However, everyone except him was laughing, so it wasn't that the joke wasn't funny, but that he didn't understand it at all.

Tan Mo suddenly felt his heart tighten.

Because he stood up again, on the surface, he seemed to be no different from the others. He was just like a normal person. There were even more people who didn't think that he was worthy of Qiao Lan anymore.

This feeling was so good that Tan Mo started to indulge in it. He was so happy that he almost forgot about a cruel fact.

Even if he could stand up, he was still different from everyone else.

He suffered from an illness that couldn't be cured in his lifetime, Asperger's disease. In many people's eyes, it was even a symptom of mental illness.

How could he forget that he was still different from everyone else? His heart would always be broken.

The sudden silence made the guy who was telling the story a little embarrassed. Someone beside him hurriedly tried to save the situation. "Maybe the genius didn't hear it, haha."

"You're too f * cking vague, okay? Tan Mo probably didn't understand. His brain is used to study, not to listen to your rubbish."

Everyone laughed. Tan Mo sat stiffly on the spot. Suddenly, he felt his right hand being pinched.

Tan Mo turned around in surprise. Qiao Lan let go of his hand and said slowly, "Actually, I didn't understand it either."

"If you didn't understand, then why are you laughing?" The guy who was telling the story was shocked. Was this joke really that hard to understand?

"Isn't it because I saw you all laughing?" Qiao Lan looked helpless.

Then why did you admit it now?

The guy wanted to ask, but he suddenly remembered Tan Mo's expressionless face and didn't understand. He instantly understood and felt like he had been fed a mouthful of dog food.

Everyone laughed for a long time. "Sure enough, the brain of a genius is different from ours." They covered up the sudden silence.

Tan Mo sat on the chair. His hands slowly clenched in a place where no one could see.
