Tan Mo thought that Qiao Lan had gone too far.

How could she say such beautiful words so easily? With one sentence, she had shattered all of his hesitation and concerns. He couldn't even piece them together.

How could she be so good at sweet-talking? How could she say such beautiful words so casually?

Tan Mo thought dizzily that Qiao Lan was really good at Chinese.

He just couldn't say it. After thinking for a long time, he could only come up with one sentence, which was, "I like you so much that I'm going crazy."

Qiao Lan looked at the young man's stunned expression with a smile in her eyes. Suddenly, she said, "No."

Tan Mo suddenly looked up. Qiao Lan took in all of the anxiety on Tan Mo's face. She said seriously, "Although my ID says that I'm an adult, there's still nearly a year before you're an adult. This is puppy love. The school forbids puppy love."

Tan Mo quickly said, "The homeroom teacher has already acquiesced."

Qiao Lan's beautiful eyes narrowed, and her smile deepened.

It turned out that Tan Mo really knew everything!

So why did she insist that Tan Mo had the mentality of a child who didn't know anything?

Thinking about how she had asked Tan Mo so fiercely in the car and how she had always thought that Tan Mo was too naive, Qiao Lan suddenly felt that she was still too naive.

However, after thinking through all of this and connecting it to what Tan Mo had said in his excitement, Qiao Lan seemed to understand some of the thoughts hidden deep in the young man's heart. Desire and inferiority were intertwined.

Even without thinking about it, it was painful.

Qiao Lan suddenly felt a little distressed.

She reached out and touched the young man's hair, which was gradually calming down. Qiao Lan shivered from the cold and took out her phone again. "It's so cold. Let's call Uncle Chen."

Tan Mo was silent. He reached out and took Qiao Lan's phone. He put it back into Qiao Lan's pocket and said, "Let's go back."

Then he added, "It's not far, just one stop away."

Although Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen already knew what he was thinking, and they wouldn't get in his way, Tan Mo didn't want a third person to ruin the current atmosphere. He just wanted to be alone with Qiao Qiao, without anyone disturbing him.

Qiao Lan glanced at the stubborn young man and chuckled. He pretended not to see through Tan Mo's intentions. "Alright," Qiao Lan said as he walked. "But it's already late. Won't it be dangerous?"

"No," Tan Mo said. "I'm here."

Qiao Lan chuckled. "You're so confident."

Tan Mo thought about it seriously and nodded after a while. "Okay."

Qiao Lan wanted to laugh again. This time, he laughed because he was loved.

She always forgot that Tan Mo had grown up and was healthy. He even learned kickboxing.

Seeing how confident he was, and thinking about the strength of his hand on Qiao Lan's waist, Qiao Lan felt that Tan Mo should be qualified to say such words.

Although she wasn't very strong, she couldn't move when Tan Mo pressed her down with one hand. It seemed that Tan Mo's kickboxing was indeed very effective.

She looked up at the young man who was almost a head taller than her. She suddenly remembered the visible muscles on Tan Mo's arms when she was at home.

At that time, it made her blush and her heart beat faster. Now that their relationship had changed, she could touch him however she wanted. Qiao Lan suddenly reached out and pinched Tan Mo's arm without any hesitation.

Tan Mo was shocked. His arm that suddenly tightened felt really good to the touch.

Without explaining to the confused Tan Mo, Qiao Lan calmly retracted her hand and said, "Mo Mo, how tall are you now?"

For some reason, Tan Mo, who was always in a daze, answered blankly, "185."

In two months, he grew another four centimeters?

Qiao Lan couldn't help but sigh again. The growth of a teenager during puberty was too scary.

Tan Mo didn't know what Qiao Lan was thinking. He had been in a daze. Suddenly, the surreal feeling of being with Qiao Lan didn't decrease at all. Instead, it became more and more serious.

The two accidentally touched each other. Tan Mo's heart skipped a beat, and his mind became clear for a moment.

After all, this kind of thing was too unbelievable.

The girl that he liked for two years and didn't dare to say anything to suddenly told him that she had the same feeling as him.

Even if it was a dream, Tan Mo had never had such a beautiful dream.

It was so beautiful that he didn't dare to believe it.

Therefore, Tan Mo always wanted to touch Qiao Lan. Only when their skin touched could he feel that everything was real. However, this kind of touch was too light. Tan Mo felt that it wasn't enough.

It would be best if he could kiss Qiao Lan like just now. If not, he could hold her in his arms. If not, he could just grab her hand.

No matter what kind of touch it was, it would be fine as long as there was contact. Just as he was thinking this, Qiao Lan suddenly pinched his arm.

Tan Mo hesitated for a long time before reaching out his hand. However, when he reached out, he suddenly withdrew his hand and put it into his pocket.

He almost forgot that he was very insensitive to the cold. He almost couldn't feel cold. Therefore, even if Qiao Lan said that he was cold, Tan Mo didn't feel it. Even if his hands were exposed to the air, he didn't feel much. He could only feel that his fingers were very stiff.

However, as long as he used his brain to think, he would know that his hands must be as cold as ice at this moment.

Tan Mo put his hand in his pocket. After his fingers became less stiff, he carefully and gently held Qiao Lan's hand.

The moment he held her hand, Qiao Lan held it back. The moment their fingers interlocked, the dizzy and unreal feeling that lingered in Tan Mo's mind was blown away by the cold wind. Once again, Tan Mo's heart beat faster.

It turned out that it was all real.

Snowflakes were floating in the sky. However, Tan Mo wanted to walk a little slower.

He suddenly regretted getting off the bus so early. It would have been better if he had taken two more stops.

It was rare that Qiao Lan and Tan Mo had different thoughts. Tan Mo didn't want to go back because once he got home, there would be two third wheels. However, Qiao Lan really wanted to go back immediately.

Although it was romantic to walk hand in hand in the snowy night, it was really too cold.

Qiao Lan felt that she was about to freeze to the bone.

After a long time, they finally arrived at the door. Qiao Lan grabbed Tan Mo and practically ran into the corridor.

She quickly turned on the lights and opened the door. The moment the door was opened, she heard Tan Mo suddenly calling her. Qiao Lan pulled Tan Mo into the room. She finally felt the warmth that she hadn't felt in a long time. She let out a sigh of relief and turned around. "What's wrong?"

She looked up and saw Aunt Chen, who had quickly come out after hearing the news.

Tan Mo was speechless.

He instantly returned to his expressionless face.

"Nothing." Tan Mo turned around and lowered his head to change his shoes.

He just wanted to kiss her before entering the door.

However, Qiao Lan didn't hear him at all.

Qiao Lan looked at Tan Mo, who had the word "wronged" written on his hair. It was rare for her to be stunned.

Why did he suddenly feel wronged?

Aunt Chen didn't know what had happened between the two of them. She nagged them about why they didn't call and urged them to quickly take a hot bath so that they wouldn't catch a cold. She ran to the kitchen and busied herself with making some supper.

Boys took a quick shower. When Tan Mo came out, Qiao Lan was still in the bathroom.

Aunt Chen prepared some snacks and chicken soup. Tan Mo took a bite and glanced outside the kitchen door. Aunt Chen could tell that he was absent-minded. Aunt Chen thought that the soup she made wasn't good. Tan Mo saw that Aunt Chen misunderstood again and hurriedly finished it.

Then, Aunt Chen chased him into the bedroom and urged him to go to sleep.

Tan Mo was speechless.

He knew that he couldn't come back so early. He had to do everything he wanted to do outside.

As soon as he came back, the atmosphere and space were all gone.

Tan Mo lay on the bed sullenly and heard the bathroom door finally open. He heard Qiao Lan's slippers and the conversation between Qiao Lan and Aunt Chen.

In the end, Qiao Lan went into the opposite bedroom and closed the door.

Everything returned to silence.

Qiao Lan touched her belly that was a little full again. She thought that she had to go for a run tomorrow morning. Tan Mo ate like this every day to grow taller, but she ate like this to grow taller.

It was already very late. No matter how lively it was during the day, it was now late at night.

Qiao Lan wrapped herself in the quilt and turned over. She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. Only now did she have the time and the mood to organize everything that had happened today.

Today was a dreamy day for Tan Mo, but it was also a dreamy day for Qiao Lan.

Not long ago, she had made the decision to teach this young man who didn't know anything about love. But today, she found that Tan Mo had already known the meaning of love. It was even more profound than she had imagined.

When she calmed down and thought about it again, a lot of things became traceable.

At that time, Tan Mo had asked her inexplicably what would happen if he couldn't stand up for the rest of his life. They hadn't seen each other for half a year. Why did he stand up in the end? Why did he struggle again and again when he knew that he wasn't healthy?

Qiao Lan's love for Tan Mo was her wavering hesitation. But Tan Mo's love for her was the difficult suppression and struggle of fighting against fate and rationality.

Compared to Tan Mo, Qiao Lan was too relaxed and too easy.

Qiao Lan's heart tightened again. She couldn't control her heartache. When she didn't know, Tan Mo had gone through too much.

Tan Mo felt inferior because of Asperger's Disease. But Qiao Lan felt inferior in front of Tan Mo's feelings.

What did she do to deserve such an excellent boy to like her to this extent?

Qiao Lan covered her chest. Her heart was beating very fast. It was sour and even a little painful. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

She didn't know how long she had been like this. Qiao Lan suddenly opened her eyes.

She didn't move and listened carefully to the movements outside. But after a long time, there was no sound at all.

Did she hear it wrong?

Her mind was filled with Tan Mo. She couldn't sleep at all. Just now, she had clearly heard a sound, like the sound of the door opening. It was very soft, but there really was.

Qiao Lan thought that Tan Mo had come out to drink water at night. But after listening for a long time, there was no sound at all.

Qiao Lan hugged the blanket and lay down for a few more minutes. Then, she suddenly jumped out of bed and quickly got out of bed barefoot. She opened the door and turned on the dim light in the small corridor.

The boy who should have been asleep long ago was squatting on the floor. His head was drooping and his fingers were drawing circles on the floor.

Then, he was startled by Qiao Lan's sudden opening of the door. His delicate and beautiful face was full of shock.

Qiao Lan, who was also stunned, was the first to react. She walked over and squatted beside Tan Mo. With Uncle Chen's scolding in her ears, she lowered her voice and asked Tan Mo, "What are you doing here?"

"Nothing," Tan Mo pursed his lips and said.

Qiao Lan was speechless. This didn't seem like nothing at all.

The two of them squatted together like two little hamsters. After a long time, Tan Mo raised his head and looked at Qiao Lan. He said slowly, "I just want to," and paused for a while before continuing, "confirm it."

He still felt that it was unreal.

Qiao Lan's heart suddenly softened.

"Since you want to confirm it, how do you confirm it when you're at the door?" What if she was really asleep and didn't hear it?

"Come here," Qiao Lan said softly. She held Tan Mo's cheek with both hands. He didn't quite understand, but he obediently moved closer to her and kissed him seriously.

"Confirmation complete. Is it real now, boyfriend?"
