Chapter 215 Parkour Academy 15
"I heard a story the other day that was really hilarious."
"They said the three of them went to the cafeteria for lunch. Awei took a bite of a steamed bun and found a worm in it. The cook offered to compensate him by giving him five steamed buns. Awei clapped his hands and cheered, thinking, 'Now I have five worms!' His companion asked if they could give him a few more so that all three of them would have breakfast. Another one asked if they could add a bowl of soup so that it would be more complete."
"Isn't it funny? Heh, heh..."
Qin Baobao looked at Li Mo calmly until he could no longer laugh, then she raised her hand and ruffled Li Mo's hair, as if she were stroking a husky.
"Do you know why oddballs always hang out in groups? Because birds of a feather flock together."
After saying that, Qin Baobao lifted her leg and left the restaurant.
It's prickly and doesn't feel good to the touch.
Li Mo sat blankly in the chair, recalling the head pat he had just received with a dreamy expression.
It's the first time Xiaobai has touched me, I'm so happy.
But what did she mean by that? Each part is understandable, but the whole thing is a bit confusing. Women are indeed unfathomable; their words are always cryptic and hard to decipher.
But she touched me.
Li Mo raised his hand and secretly pinched the end of his hair, where the warmth of Mu Bai's palm still seemed to linger, making him feel so happy that it made him want to smile.
"Senior Li, here's your juice." The cute junior girl shyly placed two glasses of juice on the table.
Li Mo instantly regained his indifferent expression and calmly lowered his hand.
He feigned a complaint, "Why is it so slow?"
He touched his forehead to cover up his embarrassment, grabbed two glasses of juice, and quickly disappeared into the cafeteria, completely ignoring the embarrassed and resentful look from the girl behind him.
There were even fewer people on campus these past few days. Looking at the empty playground, Li Mo couldn't help but think of his parents back home. They'd called several times since the holidays started, and the calls were getting more frequent. It wasn't like they hadn't stayed on campus in previous years; why were they being so unusually enthusiastic this year? Something was definitely wrong. But Li Mo was more concerned about Mu Bai's plans. It would be even better if they could go back together.
Li Mo remained standing in the cafeteria until he was completely out of sight. The junior student who had brought him the juice continued to watch longingly, hoping he would interact with her, even just glance at her. But Li Mo never turned around, leaving the junior student with mixed feelings of love and frustration.
"Hmph, blind as a bat, no wonder he doesn't have a girlfriend."
Several girls nearby had long disliked her. She always acted like she was very close to Senior Li, but in the end, she was just a gofer. Senior Li didn't even give her a second glance.
"Sigh, I thought I had finally figured it out."
"He's finally figured it out, but the object of his enlightenment isn't here."
The sarcastic remarks from the person next to her infuriated the girl.
"Shut up, you bunch of ugly freaks! Sour grapes. Say one more word and I'll get rough with you." With that, he activated his supernatural power, causing a large ball of flame to appear in his palm, his expression full of threat.
"We don't know if we're ugly or not, but some people just proved with their actions just how unpopular they are."
"Yeah, you ugly freak. Come on, let's fight. Who's afraid of who? If it weren't for Senior Li's sake, who would even know who you are?"
"I've disliked her for a long time. This isn't a stage where you can put on a show every day. That bitch is just pretentious."
"you……"
"What do you mean 'you'? If you're going to do it, then do it. Stop dawdling."
"I……"
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean,' I'm stammering, I can't even speak properly!"
The other side outnumbered her, and the girl was initially able to retort, but she was quickly silenced. In the end, she was so angry that her chest heaved and her whole body trembled, unable to utter a single word, let alone resort to violence.
The restaurant is a public place with surveillance cameras, and the person who starts a fight will be severely punished. As for fights and brawls in private, the school doesn't get involved. Might makes right, and that applies here too.
So both sides argued and shouted, but neither dared to lay a hand on the other. The girl was furious, but knew she couldn't win. The other side was yelling loudly, just waiting for the girl to get angry and make the first move. Then, the group could act in self-defense and be in the right.
These past few days, Qin Baobao has been going to the library to read for a while after meals. In a corner on the top floor, separated by glass, the warm sunlight feels very comfortable on her skin.
During the holiday, the library wasn't crowded, especially the top floor, where Qin Baobao was the only reader. She was nestled on the sofa, casually flipping through the pages, not so much studying as just casually passing the time. The usually carefree Qin Baobao now resembled a lazy cat, basking in the sunlight, incredibly soft and languid.
Li Mo had been seeing Qin Baobao like this every day for the past few days, but each time he did, he was still amazed. He slowed down and placed the juice on the table, within Qin Baobao's reach, just like himself, so that she could see him as soon as she looked up.
But, Mu Bai, when will you be able to see me?
Li Mo was momentarily downcast, but quickly recovered.
"I'm going home for Chinese New Year in a couple of days. Do you want to come with me?" To get Qin Baobao to come with him, Li Mo started listing all the good things about his home.
For example: "My family's pastries are delicious, and the chef's skills are absolutely superb."
"My dog is a Labrador, with smooth and shiny fur that feels amazing to the touch."
"My backyard has many precious flowers; you can pick as many as you want whenever you go."
Mrs. Li meticulously tends to her backyard, and doesn't allow outsiders to touch it. If she heard her son's impassioned speech, she would definitely give him a "loving lecture."
The flowers that the old mother carefully nurtured were already on her mind by her dutiful son before he even got home, and he did so in a nonchalant tone. Who could stand that?
Li Mo still felt that wasn't enough.
"Let me know what you like later. My parents are very nice people."
Is it so good that I can give up everything?
Such eagerness to help a wronged child surprised even the usually indifferent Qin Baobao.
Where did this extraordinary son come from? He wouldn't hesitate to sell his parents, and he's clearly mastered the art of being generous with other people's money.
Qin Baobao stared at him for a long while, "Do your parents know about this?"
Seeing that it was working, Li Mo immediately assured him, "I've already told you, my parents are very good people, why don't you believe me?"
If I can bring Qin Baobao home, my parents will be overjoyed. After all, their son has finally made it big; he's been single for 19 years and finally found such a beautiful girlfriend. Whether my parents will actually be overjoyed in the future is another question, but I certainly wake up laughing from my dreams every night. Now is the crucial moment; I must persuade her to come home first.
Li Mo secretly cheered himself up and continued his plan to abduct people.
"Wife, as long as you're good, I'll buy you a whole street."
