Yan Sinian stroked his chin and asked, “Is this your coming-of-age?”
He smiled mischievously and placed an arm around Huo Junyu. “It’s your eighteenth birthday. There’s a milestone here that should be celebrated. Why don’t I give you a hot and sexy night as a present?”
“...”
He should not have invited Yan Sinian.
Since Huo Junyu’s birthday was still a few months away, Yan Sinian held back his suggestion.
They went back to their accommodation and called it a day.
The next morning, Mo Ning packed her books and went to the lecture hall.
When she saw Huo Run, Mo Ning smiled so fondly at her that the latter looked down in embarrassment.
Mo Ning sat down calmly in her seat, as though she was oblivious to the impact of her action.
“Huo Run! Huo Run!”
“Are you and Mo Ning dating now?”
“They must be. Mo Ning doesn’t usually talk to anyone except for Liu Beibei, much less express himself like that.”
“...”
Huo Run listened to the chatter and gossip in the room and found herself in a state of sweet pleasure.
Like everyone else, she had noticed that Mo Ning was distant with people despite his easy-going nature.
Nevertheless, he was always open and honest with her.
Even though he had never uttered anything passionate to her, Huo Run could sense that he paid special attention to her.
Just then, Liu Beibei walked into the lecture hall and offered Mo Ning a sandwich like usual.
“I made this myself.”
“Thank you,” Mo Ning said and took a bite, “It’s delicious.”
The other students were taken aback by their exchange.
Huo Run felt awkward and also slighted.
Even though she and Mo Ning spent a lot of time together, with a connection between them akin to that of lovers...
... Mo Ning had never confessed to her before, nor had he asked her out officially.
“Huo Run? Are you and Mo Ning a thing now?”
Huo Run pursed her lips and said plainly, “Not yet.”
“I see.”
The students exchanged looks of understanding and turned their attention to Mo Ning and Liu Beibei.
It seemed to be a complicated triangle affair...
Huo Run was mildly perturbed.
She was also annoyed by the fact that Mo Ning continued to treat her in the same manner for the next few days.
He would only greet her like a normal friend and did not do anything special.
Huo Run felt unhappy and worried about losing her new beau.
Then, one day...
Mo Ning stopped her at the door to the library and passed her a cup of warm brown sugar ginger tea.
“Here.”
Huo Run was taken aback. “Why?”
“You will feel better after drinking this.”
Huo Run pursed her lips. “How did you know...”
...that I am on my period?
“Anyone who cares about you would notice.”
Mo Ning said those words casually, but her gaze on Huo Run was tender.
“Go home and rest if you don’t feel comfortable. I will take notes in class for you.”
“... Alright.”
Huo Run’s worries vanished instantly.
“On the other hand...”
Mo Ning looked down at her and brushed aside a loose strand of hair. “I may not say certain things, but that does not mean that I will not act on them. So, don’t think nonsense.”
He caressed Huo Run’s hair and said, “I don’t like to see you unhappy, because... it’s a little ugly.”
Then, he chuckled softly and turned to leave.
