After Su Mo dealt with the water stains on his body, he quickly returned to the seat. Xia Yili was sitting beside Jiang Yueling and feasted. However, Jiang Yueling was no longer in the mood to eat. Before Su Mo sat down, she began to ask Su Mo about the origin of the girl.

"Do you know that waiter?"

Su Mo nodded, "She is called Lu Xiaorou, she is considered a relative of me who is very distant. I worked as her tutor during the summer vacation."

"I have taken Xiaorou out for fun during the summer vacation," Xia Yili wiped the oil stains on the corner of her mouth with a tissue. "But Xiaorou should be in her third year of high school now... How could she come out to work?"

"She said she would not hand over the shift at 2pm and she would explain the situation to me when the time comes."

Su Mo kept his face calm when he spoke, looking a little scary.

However, he was not angry because Lu Xiaorou was hiding this matter, but because he was not considerate enough.

Although Su Mo regularly contacted Xiaorou every week, she did not mention her reverie in Han City, and Su Mo was almost completely concealed.

"You... are you okay? Don't be angry, listen to her talk carefully, maybe there is a reason."

Jiang Yueling comforted Su Mo very sensible, which surprised Su Mo a little, but he was very cautious about his life and did not show it on his face.

"Well, I know this, but... I'm so embarrassed to disrupt the plans I've arranged with you before."

"It's okay, the purpose of treating you to dinner has been achieved anyway, and..." Jiang Yueling looked at Xia Yili, who was licking the honey-thick toast ice cream balls. She seemed to enjoy it very much.

It's already messy enough...

"I plan to stay here until Xiaorou gets off work. If you two finish eating, you can go back first."

"Why are we going to drive us away in such a hurry... We can also listen to Xiaorou's troubles, right? Ayanoko?"

...

It felt a bit strange when Yili held her arm. Jiang Yueling had a sensitive constitution. Xia Yili's hands were not very regular and always rubbed against her. After a while, she pushed Xia Yili away.

"I think... this is someone else's private affairs, and it's not good for outsiders to insert it in casually-"

"Well, that's right... But I didn't expect Aya Ayako to have such a sensible side... I was shocked." Xia Yili said what Su Mo dared not say.

"What do you mean? Do you think I am just a willful and unreasonable person?"

"I didn't say that. Your problem is that you are too arrogant." Xia Yili poked Jiang Yueling's cheek. "You should have invited this meal the next day when you hurt Mo Mo in our family, but it ended up causing him to suffer for two weeks... Do you know how sad he is every night?"

Every night...is it sad?

The nonsense that tortured Wang Xiayili increased Jiang Yueling's guilt, but she still tried to struggle for a while, "You are not the roundworm in his belly, how do you know he is sad?"

"How come I don't know..."

A gentle smile appeared on Xia Yili's face, "He cried in my arms every night."

"Really...really!"

Jiang Yueling looked at Su Mo, who was unaware of the conversation between the two because of his heavy worries. Suddenly, Xia Yili's silver bell-like giggles suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Hahaha... your innocent blushing expression is so cute! I actually become a little like you..."

Depend on……

You are fooling me!

Jiang Yueling, who was angry and embarrassed, moved the honey toast in front of Xia Yili to her side and ate it in a few seconds.

In this way, after the three of them had halfway through lunch, Xia Yili and Jiang Yueling said goodbye to Su Mo first, giving him time to deal with Lu Xiaorou's affairs.

"It's still the same. If you feel that one person can't handle it well, you can try to discuss it with me..." Xia Yili made a phone call gesture with one hand, while the other hand held the reluctant Jiang Yueling's shoulder, "By the way, let Ayako help you."

"What do you mean by the way... Also, I'm not very familiar with you, don't stick to me like this, okay?"

"It's getting familiar as you go around... Come on, it's just the afternoon, so I'll go shopping with me!"

"Who wants to go shopping with you! I have to go back to the dormitory to rest-"

"Don't be...shy...well!"

Jiang Yueling was dragged away from the restaurant by Xia Yili, and Su Mo didn't even have the chance to interfere.

Originally, Su Mo didn't want Xia Yili to show up today, but... if the two of them could get along well, this would be something Su Mo would be happy to see.

Then, next...

Su Mo sat in the black tea shop until two o'clock waiting for Xiaorou to get off work. She changed into the work uniform she originally wore, wore a simple white T-shirt, and lowered her head and appeared in front of Su Mo.

"I’m off duty."

She spoke very little, but she looked up slightly and looked around Su Mo. Sister Yili and another sister in plaid shirt were no longer by her side.

Although Lu Xiaorou thought he had done something wrong, Su Mo was still the same gentle to Lu Xiaorou. He took a deep breath and stood up, smiled at Lu Xiaorou, "Let's go, let's go somewhere and have a good chat..."

After the two left the restaurant, Lu Xiaorou seemed to dare not move forward side by side with him, but just followed behind timidly, so Su Mo deliberately slowed down and stayed beside Lu Xiaorou.

"Have you had lunch? You've seen that you've been busy... don't have time to have lunch?"

"I've eaten in the kitchen."

“What are you eating?”

“Toast…”

"Can you eat enough?" Su Mo looked up at the restaurants around him. Now the theme restaurants at this high-rise site have also been closed. Su Mo suddenly remembered that there is a McDonald on the first floor of the mall, "Let's go to the McDonald on the first floor."

"Um……"

Lu Xiaorou nodded, and Su Mo saw her fingers holding the corners of her clothes, making twists and turns.

That was the sign of Yili's nervous movement in her previous life.

For example, before the final exam, when she needed to defend her job, and when she accompanied her to interview for a job, she would do such actions.

It's because of this...

Su Mo tried to calm down his restlessness. This was not Xiaorou's own fault. I couldn't get angry at her.

And to be fair, if he removes the identity of a lover in his previous life, he and Lu Xiaorou are all unrelated relatives. They just have established some connections because of summer tutoring. What she wants to do and where she wants to go is indeed not something that outsiders, Su Mo, is qualified to take care of.

But...if I don't care-

Is this kid really concerned?

What about cousin? What do other relatives think...

I actually let the senior high school students work outside...

Maybe she has even dropped out of school!

When did it start?

What kind of mood does she have to talk to me about school every day?!

I actually... didn't even hear any clues?

Su Mo finally calmed down his mood, and suddenly felt deeply hurt again and began to get angry and restless.

Anger that had nowhere to vent was piled up on Su Mo's chest, and he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.

"Brother Su Mo..."

At this moment, Lu Xiaorou stepped forward and stood in front of Su Mo. She looked like a child waiting for punishment because of a mistake.

"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry! School affairs... I shouldn't have lie to you... I'm thinking about it and telling you after I settle down... It's not... it's not intentionally..."

As she spoke, she gradually choked and couldn't continue talking.

She looked really scared, and her body was trembling constantly.

It was not until this time that Su Mo finally realized—

Did she noticed the anger she had poured out?

Su Mo hurriedly walked forward and bowed to wipe away Lu Xiaorou's tears.

"No... Xiaorou, you misunderstood. I wasn't angry because you lied to me... I just--"

Seeing that Lu Xiaorou's tears were still flowing, Su Mo's heart was suddenly blank, and only his body reacted subconsciously and hugged her tightly in his arms.
