Chapter 75: Warmth

This time, no matter how much Qiao Lan told Bai Yu that he was not with Tan Mo yet, Bai Yu would not believe it even for the life of him.

It's all hugged up and still not together.

But this time Qiao Lan won't explain.

She also wants to let everyone get the wrong idea, and then probe Tan Mo to see what he does and doesn't understand.

Bai Yu really sighs that he is being abused by the dog every day, and with the look of a veteran, he said, "There is a saying that there is no pure friendship between men and women."

Qiao Lan was amused, "So you and Yin Ziqi aren't purely friendly either?"

Yin Ziqi is Bai Yu's classmate, they have been in the same class since the first year of high school, and then after the separation of classes, they sat at the same table together, and they are still sitting at the same table at the end of the third year of high school. Qiao Lan and Tan Mo sit in front of Bai Yu and Yin Ziqi, and every day they can hear these two bickering, and when Bai Yu finally gets angry, Yin Ziqi starts to cheer Bai Yu up again.

These two call each other buddies every day good for nothing.

Hearing Qiao Lan suddenly mention Yin Ziqi, Bai Yu froze for a moment and then jumped up like a furry, "Why are you mentioning him for a good reason, in fact, there are still pure friendships between men and women, there is a saying that the uglier you are, the purer you are, and Yin Ziqi is it! The uglier the purer, the more pure Yin Ziqi is! I'm telling you, the type of guy I like will never be my friend, my buddies are all the ones I dislike, Yin Ziqi and I are still very, very pure."

Qiao Lan was more and more happy, "Although Yin Ziqi isn't as handsome as Tan Mo, but he's still quite handsome and definitely not ugly."

"Look at you, even if you talk about Yin Ziqi, you have to bring your family Tan Mo with you to show off your love for each other, right?", Bai Yu was speechless, "I don't know what to say," he said.

"Back to the point, that's why the uglier you are, the purer you are, but the good-looking ones are definitely not pure, and even less so for the likes of you and Tan Mo. Is Tan Mo pure? Tan Mo is pure? If he is pure, he can just wrap you in his clothes and let everyone say that you two are in love without rebuttal; are you pure? If you are pure, you can let Tan Mo hold you like that, and you can pick out Tan Mo's phone number and add a 1 in front of it, and put it at the top?"

Qiao Lan: "......"

If not for Bai Yu's sudden mention of it, Qiao Lan would have almost forgotten about it.

Bai Yu found out about this, too.

Bai Yu was playing with Qiao Lan's cell phone, and as he was playing, he opened Qiao Lan's address book.

According to the pinyin ranking of surnames, Bai Yu's name starts with B, which is usually at the top of the address book, but when Bai Yu opens it, he sees Tan Mo's name at the top of his own name in plain sight.

How come the first letter is T can be ranked in front of her, a closer look to realize that there is a 1 in front of the word Tan Tan.

At first glance, it looks like it was added on purpose.

This is Qiao Lan's cell phone. Who else could it be if not Qiao Lan?

Also said not in love with Tan Mo is not the kind of like, this behavior only meets those mushy little couple okay!

And then Bai Yu dug it up again today.

Qiao Lan slightly stunned, these days everyone is accustomed to using WeChat to contact, the frequency of phone calls is very low, even if the call is not to find the address book, especially often contacted people, usually from the call records to find, not to mention Tan Mo's phone number Qiao Lan memorized more familiar than his own, so it really did not find this matter.

Instantly, he turned his head to the bed and fished out his cell phone and opened his contacts.

Tan Mo's name is indeed the first one, preceded by a small 1.

Qiao Lan stares at the tiny 1 and smiles softly after a long moment.

Tonight has never been easier for Qiao Lan.

The relief of finally getting rid of Qiao's family, the relief of finally figuring out your own thoughts and understanding what you want to do, all the discomfort that had been blocking your heart all this time disappeared, and Qiao Lan finally slept the most peaceful sleep she'd had in so many days.

Qiao Lan on this side sleeps peacefully, Tan Mo on the other side as soon as he closes his eyes, he can remember Qiao Lan's face so close to him, his cheek pressed against him, the touch of his hands holding him. He tossed and turned until late at night, but after he fell asleep, he fully realized the saying, daydreaming and nightdreaming, and the scene in his dream was far bolder and hotter than what he had thought.

That's the *** that is hidden in the deepest part of your heart that you repress but don't dare to tell.

Tan Mo woke up in the morning, sitting on the bed and hugging the quilt like a fool. After a long time, the screen of his cell phone lit up, and Tan Mo mechanically touched the phone.

It's Qiao Lan's morning tweet.

Night dreaming is too unrestrained, Tan Mo rare descending wisdom did not find today suddenly more than one sentence of good morning, just staring at the WeChat chat background in the girl who came and went in the dream yesterday, the teenager a fair and delicate face, little by little stained with redness.

Red through and through.

Tan Mo, you're really out of touch.

But...

Again, really too memorable.

Qiao Lan could sense that Tan Mo was being slightly awkward today, instantly averting her eyes whenever she met them, as if she had done something wrong.

Is it because of yesterday?

What does hindsight finally reveal?

Qiao Lan is not at all anxious or worried, and even feels a bit excited.

If Tan Mo really didn't understand anything, she would be indifferent and not at all abnormal. If there was a little bit of abnormality, although it might be just a shyness of hindsight, it would definitely be a good thing for Qiao Lan.

The eyes of Qiao Lan and Tan Mo in the class are all ambiguous, and there is a lot of gossip among the students. Yesterday, the two of them "embraced each other" under the dormitory building, and everyone knew about it, and when the class ended, everyone sat together and chatted, talking about the New Year that is coming soon, and Valentine's Day after the New Year, and several movies released on Valentine's Day, and several popular stars in the movies. There are also several movies that will be released on Valentine's Day and several popular stars in the movies.

Tan Mo, in the midst of his classmates' playfulness, briefly replied to Uncle Chen with a few words, and without Qiao Lan's knowledge, the small restaurant in front of the school belonging to Qiao's father Qiao's mother closed its doors at the sound of the door, and Qiao's father Qiao's mother, in the joy of her son's gradual improvement in health, didn't insist on Qiao's father and Qiao's mother did not last long in the joy of their son's gradually improving health, but were saddened by the loss of their livelihood.

Although Tan Mo paid the money for the kidney, but the cost of medication needed after surgery is still a huge expense, looking at the hands of the money is getting less and less and no way to earn money, Qiao's father Qiao's mother simply do not know what to do.

Mrs. Qiao just couldn't understand, "If that person can pay for Yuan Er's medical treatment, can't he pay for the post-op too?"

Qiao's father Qiao's mother looked at each other, after a long time Qiao's father said, "You can't say that, people pay out money is people's goodwill, and not owed us ......".

"How is it not owed to us!"

Qiao old lady eyes glared, "We have worked hard to raise the daughter are given away, let him pay a little money to his brother to cure a disease how, you do not say that people have money, to Qiao Lan bought tens of millions of houses, hundreds of thousands of people for people as we hundreds of dollars, has paid so much also do not care to pay a little bit more. "

"It's..."

Qiao's father didn't know what to say, but Qiao's mother was a little shaken, thinking that Mrs. Qiao had a point.

"We don't ask him for more, we want Yuan Er's post-operative money, at most two hundred thousand, you go and ask I don't believe he won't give it", Old Lady Qiao said, "Just a teenage doll, I don't believe you can't still take him."

Qiao's mother was impressed by Mrs. Qiao, and not only was she impressed but she thought of something else.

"Do you think that kid was behind the sudden visit to our store the day before yesterday", Qiao's mother said, "Didn't he say that the Luo family was something..."

"What's the matter with the Luo family," Mrs. Joe wondered.

Qiao's mother then told Mrs. Qiao about Luo Nian's attraction to Qiao Lan and Tan Mo's bankruptcy of the Luo family, and Mrs. Qiao was even more furious when she heard about it, "There's no such thing as the law of the land, so I'm going to ask for it! I don't believe he won't pay for the good reason that he cut off our family's livelihood."

Qiao's father Qiao's mother is a little scared, "... What if it's not..."

"Your son's treatment is important or your face is important", Qiao old lady eyes glaring round, "you do not want me to go to want, what is afraid of, I do not believe that he still dare to really Yuan Er what to do, now is the legal system society, who does he think he is lawless... He thinks he is a lawless man... He is just trying to coax you because you are so timid... He is such a big man, and he is so scared by a little kid."

Qiao's father and Qiao's mother were silent for a long time, and after a long time Qiao's mother said, "Why don't we just look for another one, just ask for two hundred thousand dollars... Don't look for Lanlan yet..."

Qiao's father thought about the revoked business license and the closed small restaurant and finally nodded.

On the other hand, Uncle Chen refused to be contacted by Qiao's family, and Qiao's father and Qiao's mother couldn't contact Uncle Chen, not to mention Tan Mo.

Tan Mo laughed softly, put away his cell phone, and turned back to continue talking with Qiao Lan.

The miserable life of senior high school finally came to an end two days before the New Year's Eve, and students sprinted home with joy and began to enjoy the few dozen days of winter vacation.

Qiao Lan spent her third New Year's at Tan Mo's house.

She still remembered last year's New Year's Eve vividly, which was a completely different state of mind from the one she was in right now. She hadn't realized how she felt about Tan Mo, and before the New Year's Eve was over, Tan Mo had left for the U.S. and disappeared for half a year.

There was always a kind of indescribable despair lingering in her heart, she couldn't tell why, she just remembered that Tan Mo was in a very bad mood at that time, she asked Tan Mo several times, but Tan Mo didn't say anything.

On the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, Qiao Lan dragged Tan Mo out of the door, taking the teenager, who had never felt the flavor of the New Year outside, through the streets and alleys.

The roadside was filled with red lanterns, pedestrians were coming and going everywhere, and the crowds of people made it hard to breathe, but the more they felt the New Year's festivities, the more they could be felt. Tan Mo tried his best to get used to the discomfort of rubbing shoulders with other people, and locked his eyes on Qiao Lan to catch up with her figure, but he was still accidentally crowded out.

Qiao Lan turned and stood amidst the thousands of lights and smiled, reaching across the crowd to grab Tan Mo's hand.

The teenager stumbled two steps closer to Qiao Lan, subconsciously gripping the girl's thin, soft hand tighter.

They never got separated after that.

On that New Year's Day, Qiao Lan and Tan Mo kept the New Year's Eve together, welcomed the New Year together, and saw each other's faces for the first time on the first day of the new year together.

Reflecting the thousands of stars outside the window, the two reflected each other's faces in their eyes and engraved them in their hearts.

That's their deepest, most favorite look.
