Chapter 79: Boyfriends
Tan Mo thinks Qiao Lan is too much.
How easy it was to say such beautiful words, words that shattered all his hesitations and concerns into pieces, words that he couldn't even put together.
How is it that she's so good at talking about love and how can she say such nice love words off the top of her head?
Tan Mo thought dizzily, "Surely Qiao Lan's language is very good.
He couldn't say it, and all he could think of to say was that I like you so much that I'm going crazy.
Qiao Lan, with a smile in her eyes at the boy's bewildered look, suddenly said, "No."
Tan Mo then suddenly looked up, Qiao Lan saw the eagerness on Tan Mo's face, orthochromatic, "Although my ID card has already reached the age of majority, but there is still almost a year before you reach the age of majority, this is early love, the school prohibits early love."
Tan Mo quickly said, "The homeroom teacher has acquiesced."
Qiao Lan's pretty eyes narrowed and her smile deepened.
Turns out Tan Mo really actually knows everything!
So why on earth would she insist that Tan Mo was a childish mentality who didn't know anything? Thinking back to that fierce and incomparable question in the car just now, and remembering that she had been thinking that Tan Mo was too simple before, Qiao Lan suddenly felt that she was still too simple.
However, after thinking about this, and in relation to Tan Mo's excited words, Qiao Lan seemed to understand something hidden deep inside this teenager's heart, a mixture of longing and inferiority complex.
Even if you don't have to think about it, it's painful.
Qiao Lan suddenly felt some heartache.
Reaching out her hand and touching the hair of the teenager who had gradually calmed down, the cold wind poured into her cuffs, Qiao Lan shivered with cold and took out her cell phone again, "It's cold, let's call Uncle Chen."
Tan Mo was silent, reached out and took Qiao Lan's cell phone, put it back into Qiao Lan's pocket, and said, "Walk back."
Said and added, "It's not far, one stop."
Although Uncle Chen and Auntie Chen had known his mind for a long time and they wouldn't get in the way of anything, Tan Mo didn't want a third person to ruin the present atmosphere, he just wanted to be alone with Qiao Lan without anyone disturbing him.
Qiao Lan glanced at the stubborn teenager and let out a soft laugh, pretending not to see Tan Mo's intentions, "Alright", Qiao Lan said as she walked, "but it's already late, won't it be a bit dangerous."
"No," Tan Mo said, "I'm here."
Qiao Lan let out a soft laugh, "So confident."
Tan Mo thought about it quite seriously and nodded after a long while, "Uh-huh."
Qiao Lan wanted to laugh again, this time at the cuteness.
She always forgets that Tan Mo has grown up, his body is already healthy, and he has also learned free sparring. Seeing how confident he looked, and thinking about the strength of the hand that had just pressed on Qiao Lan's waist, Qiao Lan felt that Tan Mo should be qualified to say such words.
Although he was not very strong, he could not move even though he was being held down by Tan Mo's one hand, so it seemed that Tan Mo's study of free sparring was indeed very effective.
Looking up at the teenager who was already almost a head taller than her, she suddenly remembered the visible muscles on Tan Mo's arms that she had seen at home before. At that time, it had made her blush, but now that their relationship had changed, she could touch them as much as she wanted, Qiao Lan had no qualms about suddenly reaching out and squeezing Tan Mo's arm.
Tan Mo was startled, and the sudden tightening of his arms did feel particularly good.
Without explaining to the confused Tan Mo, Qiao Lan calmly withdrew her hand and said, "Momo, how tall are you now?"
Tan Mo, who for some reason has always been a bit of a nerd, dully replied, "185."
Two months and another four centimeters of growth?
Qiao Lan had to sigh once again that adolescent development is terrible.
Tan Mo had no idea what Qiao Lan was thinking, he was in a daze all the time, and the sudden uncertainty of being with Qiao Lan didn't diminish at all, but rather became more and more serious. When they accidentally touched each other, Tan Mo's heart skipped a beat, and his mind cleared for a moment.
After all, this kind of thing is too unbelievable.
The girl he had loved for two years and kept in his heart, afraid to show a word, suddenly told him that she felt the same way as he did.
Even in her dreams, Tan Mo had never dreamed so well.
It was so beautiful that he didn't dare to believe it.
That's why Tan Mo always wanted to touch Qiao Lan, only the solidity of skin to skin could make him feel that everything was real, but such a touch was too shallow, Tan Mo felt it was not enough at all.
Preferably a kiss like the one we just had, not to mention holding Qiao Lan in her arms, or if that's not good enough then grabbing her hand.
No matter what kind of contact it is, as long as there is contact, it's good, just thinking so, I didn't expect Qiao Lan to suddenly pinch him on his arm.
Tan Mo hesitated for a long time and extended his hand, but he suddenly withdrew it after extending it and put it into his shirt pocket.
I had almost forgotten that I was very slow to feel cold, and could hardly feel it, so even when Qiao Lan said it was cold, Tan Mo didn't notice it, and even when her hands were exposed to the air, she didn't feel much, only that her fingers were very stiff.
But if you just think about it with your head, you can tell that your hands must be cold as ice at this moment.
Tan Mo placed his hand in his pocket and waited for his fingers to become less stiff before he carefully and tentatively gently took Qiao Lan's hand.
Qiao Lan gripped back the moment she held it, and the moment she interlocked her fingers, the dizzying sense of unreality that had been lingering in Tan Mo's head was like being blown away by a cold wind, and the clear perception of it once again made Tan Mo's heart beat faster once again.
Turns out it's all true.
There are snowflakes in the sky, but Tan Mo wants to go slower.
He suddenly regretted a little why he had gotten off so early, if only he had taken two more stops.
Qiao Lan has a rare chance to deviate from Tan Mo's mind. Tan Mo is reluctant to go home because there will be two light bulbs, but Qiao Lan really wants to go home right away.
Although it was quite romantic to walk hand in hand in the snowy night, it was too cold to resist.
Qiao Lan felt like she was freezing through.
Finally arriving at the door, Qiao Lan grabbed Tan Mo and practically flew into the building.
Quickly turning on the light and opening the door, waiting for the moment when the door opened before hearing Tan Mo suddenly called out to her, Qiao Lan pulled Tan Mo into the room, finally feeling the long-lost warmth after a sigh of relief before turning back, "What's wrong?"
Raising her eyes, she looked at Auntie Chen who had already come out quickly at the news.
Tan Mo, "......"
The expressionless look returned instantly.
"Nothing," Tan Mo said, turning her back and hanging her head to change her shoes.
Just want to have a kiss before I walk in the door.
As a result, Qiao Lan didn't hear it at all.
Qiao Lan looked at Tan Mo, who had the word aggrieved written from the roots of her hair, and was in a rare state of confusion where she was.
Why are you suddenly aggrieved?
Aunt Chen was completely unaware of what was going on between the two, and while chanting about how she didn't call, she urged the two to hurry up and take a hot shower to not catch a cold, and ran to the kitchen herself to busy herself with another bit of late night snack tossing.
Boys bathe quickly, and Qiao Lan was still in the bathroom when Tan Mo came out.
Auntie Chen also prepared small snacks and chicken soup, Tan Mo ate a mouthful to the outside of the kitchen door to look at the absent-minded look Auntie Chen a glance to see, Auntie Chen thought it was their own stew soup is not good, Tan Mo see Auntie Chen again misunderstanding this hastily finished.
Then he was directly driven into the bedroom by Aunt Chen and urged to go to bed.
Tan Mo: "......"
He then said he couldn't come back so early, and that if he wanted to do anything he'd have to do it all outside.
The atmosphere and the space were all gone when I came back.
Tan Mo lay on the bed in frustration, listening to the bathroom door finally open, hearing Qiao Lan's slippers clacking, and the inaudible conversation between Qiao Lan and Auntie Chen.
Finally there was the sound of Qiao Lan entering the bedroom across the hall and the door being closed.
Everything is quiet again.
Qiao Lan touched her stomach, which was a bit full again, and said that she had to go for a run tomorrow morning; Tan Mo was growing in size by eating like this every day, and she was definitely growing in cross-section by eating like this.
It was late, and even if the day had been lively, it was now the end of the night.
Qiao Lan rolled over wrapped in the covers and stared up at the ceiling with her eyes open, which gave her the time and the mood to sort through everything that had happened today in its entirety.
It's a dream day for Tan Mo, but not for Qiao Lan.
It wasn't that long ago that she'd just made the decision that she was going to teach this teenager who knew nothing about feelings and liking, but it wasn't until today that she realized that Tan Mo had known what liking meant long ago, and it was even much deeper than she'd ever imagined.
It's only when you settle down and think about it again that a lot of things become tangible.
When Tan Mo inexplicably asked her what would happen if she couldn't stand up for the rest of her life, a goodbye was half a year, and what was the point of finally standing up, knowing that she was not sound and what was the point of struggling again and again.
Qiao Lan's fondness for Tan Mo is her wavering hesitation, but Tan Mo's fondness for her is a difficult repression and struggle against fate and reason.
Compared to Tan Mo, Qiao Lan is too easy, too easy.
Qiao Lan 心口 was again tight, she really can not control the heartache, in their own unaware of the time, Tan Mo really experience to bear too much.
Tan Mo has low self-esteem because she has Asperger's, but Qiao Lan feels inferior in front of Tan Mo's feelings.
What could she really do to be liked to this extent by such a wonderful boy.
Qiao Lan covered the location of her heart, beating fast, a burst of acidity, astringent and even some pain, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Qiao Lan's eyes snapped open.
Motionless carefully listening to the movement outside, but after a long time and not a little sound.
Did you hear it wrong?
She was full of Tan Mo couldn't sleep at all, she had just distinctly heard a noise, like a door opening, very soft, but really there.
Qiao Lan thought that Tan Mo had come out to drink water at night, but after listening for a long time, there was no movement at all.
Qiao Lan lay cuddled under the covers for several more minutes, then suddenly rolled out of bed and quickly got out barefoot as soon as she opened the door and flicked on the dim light in the small hallway.
The teenager who should have fallen asleep long ago crouched on the floor, his head drooping as his fingers drew circles on the floor.
Then she was startled by Qiao Lan's sudden opening of the door, and her delicate and pretty face was full of bewilderment.
Qiao Lan, who was also frozen in place, reacted first and took two steps over to crouch next to Tan Mo, accompanied by Uncle Chen's snoring in his ears, and asked Tan Mo in a lowered voice, "What are you doing here?"
"Nothing," Tan Mo said, pursing her lips.
Qiao Lan was silent, it wasn't like nothing at all.
The two of them crouched together like two little hamsters, Tan Mo looked up at Qiao Lan after a long time and slowly said, "I just wanted to," pausing before continuing, "make sure."
It still didn't feel real to him.
Qiao Lan suddenly his heart is too soft for words.
"How can I confirm it if I have to confirm it by staying at the door", what if she really has fallen asleep and didn't hear it?
"Come here," Qiao Lan said softly, cupping her hands around the cheek of Tan Mo, who didn't quite understand, but came closer, and kissing her, seriously.
"Confirmation complete, real now, boyfriend?"
