Chapter 61: Dazzle
Qiao Lan is not a person who shows too much emotion, but at this moment, seeing Tan Mo standing and walking like everyone else, she couldn't stop crying.
From January to September, nearly two hundred days and nights have passed, Tan Mo has never said where he is going, nor whether he will come back or not, Qiao Lan sometimes really think that Tan Mo may not come back.
For others, Tan Mo's return and standing up was just a shock and surprise, but for Qiao Lan, the moment she saw Tan Mo again, little by little, her heart fell back into place.
There was a sudden retreat and dependence behind him.
Outside the classroom, many students from other classes were looking in through the door, buzzing and talking, but inside the classroom was excessively quiet, and almost everyone's eyes were on Tan Mo.
He already looks extremely outstanding, just everyone will always because of his legs crippled and ignored his looks, but now he and everyone else stood up, tall and thin legs long and slender, teenage skin color and extremely white, that has been ignored by everyone's face suddenly like more than a grade, and then look at the past a moment everyone felt two words.
Stunning.
Tan Mo, standing up, is not inferior to Hao Ying and Chen Yaoyang at all, even more dazzling than them.
Because before Tan Mo stood up, everyone called him, in two words, a genius.
The silence around the room was maintained for about ten seconds before the clamor returned, though there were still plenty of people looking over their shoulders from time to time.
Bai Yu, who had just said he wanted to sit at the same table with Qiao Lan, didn't even think about why, instantly bounced up from the stool next to Qiao Lan, and turned to Qiao Lan, "Tan Mo is suddenly back, do you know he's coming back? Forget it, Tan Mo is back, you two should continue to sit at the same table..."
Before Tan Mo came back, she thought it didn't matter who Qiao Lan sat with, but once Tan Mo came back, that seat seemed to be Tan Mo's exclusive seat.
Tan Mo and Bai Yu said thank you, and walked to Qiao Lan with long legs, saying "I'm back", but after seeing Qiao Lan's wet eyes, he was stunned, and his heart was sour and bitter.
Tan Mo's eyes trembled, two hundred days and nights, every day after the rehab lying in bed exhausted, no one knows how much he misses her, whenever Qiao Lan's phone calls, listening to the voice in the handset, Tan Mo hated to go back to the country immediately.
Missed her too much.
The girl's eyes were slightly reddened, and those dark eyes were permeated with a layer of water mist, so beautiful that Tan Mo wanted to kiss away all the tear tracks.
But he couldn't, Tan Mo lowered his eyelashes, took out a clean tissue and handed it to Qiao Lan. Qiao Lan, however, as if she hadn't regained her senses, took the tissue and clutched it in her hand, but her eyes were still staring at him. Tan Mo froze, and after a long while hesitantly pulled out another tissue, his fingers were stiff as hell, but he still tried his best to come closer, gently wiping away the tears under the girl's eyes.
Qiao Lan then felt the trance that she had just been in disappear bit by bit, eyeing the teenager who was extremely close to her with delicate and beautiful eyebrows to the extreme, and the heartbeat could be heard even more clearly than usual at the location of her heart.
It's still in the classroom, and there may be other students looking over, but Qiao Lan doesn't want to push Tan Mo.
Her moods were fluctuating wildly, and she needed this kind of attention, Qiao Lan even had the urge to hug Tan Mo so that she could completely calm down.
But there were so many people around that Qiao Lan suddenly felt that her friendly classmates were a bit of an eyesore.
Tears dried, Tan Mo removed her hand somewhat fondly, hiding the fondness in her eyes, and said in as calm a voice as she could muster, "There."
Qiao Lan blinks and takes a deep breath before plopping down on the table, then turns her cheek in Tan Mo's direction and opens her mouth, "So you've been away for so long, just to rehab?"
"Well," Tan Mo nodded, "I came back yesterday afternoon and wanted to surprise you."
Tan Mo Road, the afterglow swept over from time to time to look at this side of the classmates, also changed into the same posture as Qiao Lan, instantly wrapped in this sense of intimacy secretly poking.
Tan Mo's heart was beating fast, both because he couldn't help himself from the intentional intimacy and because this was the first time he had ever dared to go and get intimate with Qiao Lan in front of other people.
He has stood up and can walk, no one except Qiao Lan knows that he suffers from Asperger's, no one will think that he is not a normal person, no one will think that his behavior is strange, even if some people find out that he likes Qiao Lan, no one will taunt Qiao Lan anymore.
And, even, he deliberately tried to do so.
He doesn't dare or want Qiao Lan to know his feelings, but he wants everyone except Qiao Lan to know, especially those boys who share the same thoughts about Qiao Lan and like her.
Tan Mo knew that from the moment she entered the classroom, Hao Ying's eyes never moved away, and the more Hao Ying looked, the more Tan Mo couldn't help but lean closer to Qiao Lan.
Qiao Lan was completely unaware of Tan Mo's sudden and drastic change, bold possessiveness and forcefulness after she stood up, she smiled with her eyebrows arched, "It's really a pleasant surprise", but then she thought of something and revealed a few moments of heartache and said, "Rehabilitation is very painful, isn't it? I've heard that rehabilitation in general is much more painful than injuries. I've heard that it usually hurts even more than when you're injured."
She was concerned about him, heartbroken, I guess.
Tan Mo felt as if a drop of manna had dripped into his parched heart, and suddenly he couldn't help but want to make her heart ache a little more.
"It hurts," Tan Mo said, staring intently into Qiao Lan's eyes, "Sometimes it hurts so much that I want to... Just die."
If she would have shown a few more moments of intolerance, he would have...
There was a sudden warmth in his hand, and his cold hand was held by the girl's thin, soft fingers, Tan Mo's body suddenly stiffened.
"Tan Mo, whatever there is in the future, don't hide it from me anymore, okay", Qiao Lan said as she looked into his eyes, "I know you don't want to disappoint me, but if you don't tell me, I'll be very worried."
Tan Mo did not move and let the girl grab his hand, did not dare to move, but also could not move, for fear that if he moved Qi Qiao Lan would withdraw his hand.
Nodding mechanically, at this moment he felt that whatever Qiao Lan said, he would agree to it all without thinking.
Looking at the dumb and completely unresponsive Tan Mo, Qiao Lan withdrew her hand.
Just now when she heard Tan Mo say that she was in so much pain that she wanted to die, at that moment she was truly heartbroken, so she subconsciously grabbed Tan Mo's hand, but she couldn't help but question herself after Tan Mo stiffened and didn't move a muscle.
What are you doing?
After saying "I want to take care of you for the rest of my life", Qiao Lan can no longer look at the relationship between the two of them in the same way as before, and the more than two hundred days of separation from Tan Mo have made Qiao Lan realize how much she relies on and misses Tan Mo.
Qiao Lan admits that her feelings for Tan Mo are getting a little fuzzy, and today she is even more out of control, unable to resist the urge to get closer to Tan Mo.
But Tan Mo has AS and is simply a child who doesn't know anything, what the hell is she doing? Seeing Tan Mo stiffen up like that, it was no surprise that she was taken aback.
The homeroom teacher walked in from outside, and Qiao Lan suddenly climbed up from the table, clearing the thoughts that had just been jumbled out of his head.
Tan Mo, who was indeed startled by Qiao Lan, but for a completely different reason than Qiao Lan had imagined, stared at his right hand for a long time as if he were staring at some kind of treasure, and it was only when the homeroom teacher called his name that he raised his head.
The class teacher is naturally happy to have Tan Mo back, a top student with a good chance of hitting the top school, no teacher would not like it.
Listening to the class teacher's passionate speech from the podium, Tan Mo used his afterglow to double-check that Qiao Lan was listening to the teacher attentively, and then pretended to unintentionally put his right hand on his lips and gently kissed him.
A little vain, a little nervous, but couldn't stop liking it.
The school god who was sitting firmly at the top of his grade, with almost full marks in science and other subjects, is back, not only back, but out of his wheelchair, and many of the students who saw Tan Mo today are talking about it.
"He stood up, literally, I saw him, walked all by himself, couldn't see anything wrong with his leg at all."
"I don't know why, but Tan Mo's whole body just glowed when he stood up... How come I've never realized that Tan Mo is so handsome?"
"Tan Mo shouldn't be called handsome, his looks are not the kind of handsome like Chen Yaoyang and Hao Ying, just good looking, I like this one so much!"
"I announce that the position of my beloved Male God No. 1 has given way, Chen Yaoyang is in second place and Tan Mo has been promoted to No. 1, after all, he's a super school god and carries his own buffs."
Tan Mo stood up, lost his name as a disabled person, and all the good and outstanding things were discovered by everyone as if they were suddenly exposed.
No one insults him anymore, no one looks down on him, when students mention him, they have instantly sent him to the heights of Hao Ying and Chen Yaoyang without realizing it, no matter in what aspect, looks, family, grades, Tan Mo is not worse than these two, even more so.
Qiao Lan didn't know what Tan Mo was feeling, but she was proud of herself when she saw all the praise for Tan Mo on the posting boards and the curious students who came outside the classroom after class to find out more about Tan Mo.
He's that good.
I can't believe you guys just realized that.
Tan Mo still hadn't gone to his evening study, he had wanted to, after all walking was no longer a problem now, but now he had new things to do in the evening.
He still has to keep up with intense workouts to recover his body better. In addition to the workouts, Tan Mo asked Uncle Chen to hire a professional and private free sparring trainer.
A method of combat far more useful in real combat than Taekwondo, Karate, etc. He didn't care about anything else, he just wanted to have the power to protect Qiao Lan in the fastest time possible, no matter what way he could do it.
His long silhouette walked past Xiang Xiaohan's eyes, Xiang Xiaohan stared blankly in her seat, looking at the teenager she had once humiliated, now became so dazzling that she didn't dare to look directly at him, and she suddenly remembered Tan Mo's cold words once.
You're something.
Xiang Xiaohan wanted to say something, with Tan Mo, but no longer dare, now Tan Mo, just like Chen Yaoyang, just like Hao Ying, has been her can no longer touch the signs of the sky.
