On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 135
Cool Night, Warming UpLeaving the park, without the shelter of the surrounding environment, walking on the deserted streets, gusts of night wind brought a chill.

Su Yuqing wasn't wearing much today, and she instinctively shrank back.

Seeing this, Chen Mo let go of her hand that he was holding, and instead grabbed her right hand, put it around his waist, and placed it on his waist.

He then put his arm around her shoulder and pressed her body against his.

Hold me tight.

Hearing Chen Mo's domineering CEO-like words, Su Yuqing felt a warmth in her heart.

She happily hugged Chen Mo's firm waist, leaned half her body against him, and greedily felt the warm touch of his body.

The chill I had just felt dissipated in an instant.

"So comfortable.

" Su Yuqing snuggled up to Chen Mo, thoroughly enjoying the warmth.

Being able to enjoy such a warm embrace makes all the unpleasant experiences of the past seem insignificant now, merely trials on the path to happiness.

As long as she can hold onto this warmth she has now, she doesn't ask for anything more.

If a person can truly grasp and cherish any one of the three things in their lifetime—family, friendship, or love—and have it all, it is a life well-lived.

The streetlights cast dappled sunlight through the gaps in the sycamore leaves, and Chen Mo's body heat seeped through his thin shirt onto Su Yuqing's shoulder.

Her ears turned red as she noticed that the boy's arm around her was actually trembling slightly.

Even in such a cool evening breeze, Chen Mo, being no iron man, naturally felt the cold.

What's more, he was hugging a girl whose body temperature was lower than his own, which further lowered his own body temperature.

Fortunately, as they embraced, their heartbeats gradually quickened.

Especially when two people walk close together, they can easily get into friction.

Feeling Su Yuqing's soft body intermittently touching him, Chen Mo's body unconsciously warmed up quickly.

At that moment, his heartbeat was clearer than the sound of the night wind rustling through the treetops.

As I turned the corner, the neon sign reading "Warm House" caught my eye.

The warm yellow light inside the glass window, enveloped in rising white steam, indicates a 24-hour oden (Japanese stew) shop.

Chen Mo suddenly stopped and looked at Su Yuqing in his arms, saying, "Let's have some oden to warm us up.

""Boss, two skewers of rice cake, two skewers of radish, two skewers of tofu puffs...

" As Chen Mo pulled his arm away, Su Yuqing immediately felt a cool emptiness on her shoulder, but the next second a warm paper cup was stuffed into her hand.

Floating in the translucent broth were some tempting skewers, the very kind of skewers vendors she always couldn't help but sneak peeks at when she went for her night runs.

Although she always wanted to eat, she came out to exercise, and she always managed to resist the urge.

But when she was with Chen Mo, he couldn't help but feed her, which made it hard for her to resist the temptation.

The moment their fingertips touched, Chen Mo grasped her icy hand and pressed it against the cup.

"This will make it warmer.

"Su Yuqing nodded, held the cup for a few seconds to feel its warmth, then drank a few sips of soup before enjoying the food in her cup, just like Chen Mo.

As the sweet taste of the radish melted in her mouth, Su Yuqing realized that happiness was such a simple thing.

Encountering something warm in the cold, walking with someone you love on a lonely night—these are all indescribable moments of happiness.

After enjoying a large cup of oden, Su Yuqing felt much warmer.

"Are you warm now?

Would you like another drink?

" Chen Mo smiled gently and looked at Su Yuqing.

"It's so late, it's not good to eat too much.

This is just right.

" Su Yuqing smiled as she got up and walked out of the shop first.

Feeling the evening breeze again, it was refreshingly cool, not as cold as before.

But since it wasn't cold anymore, there was no reason to huddle together.

This made Su Yuqing a little disappointed.

It's rare for us to go out for a night stroll together, and this route has extended our nighttime outing time.

As night deepened, the sycamore leaves rustled in the wind.

Su Yuqing, her playful spirits rising, lightly shuffled her canvas shoes across the shallow puddles on the road, the splashing water droplets shattering into beautiful stars under the moonlight.

She lowered her eyes and stared at the two shadows stretched long by the streetlights, her fingertips unconsciously stroking them.

Suddenly, the act of holding hands and hugging was gone.

Walking side by side like this made Su Yuqing feel awkward and unsure of what to do with her hands.

"Clap!

"The sound of a stray cat knocking over a soda can in the dark alley startled Su Yuqing, and Chen Mo immediately stepped to the side to protect her.

At the slightest disturbance, Chen Mo would immediately protect the people around him.

As long as he's alive and kicking, he won't let her suffer any harm in this lifetime.

The two walked out of the area covered by People's Park, and after walking a little further, they would reach the location where a ride-hailing car could pick them up.

Taxis are hard to find at night, but ride-hailing services can be booked with just a few taps on your phone.

However, as the two were walking along the outside of the park near a small lake, they suddenly saw several people gathered ahead.

"What should I do?

Does anyone know how to swim?

Please save my child!

"As the two approached, they heard one of them anxiously calling out to the people around them.

At this moment, Chen Mo saw a warning sign on the lake shore that prohibited fishing, washing clothes in the river, and swimming or playing in the river.

But right near this sign, there were some clothes lying around.

It's obvious that someone ignored the warnings and went swimming in the lake.

Chen Mo couldn't help but admire her.

It was so cold and windy in the middle of the night, and she still dared to swim in the river.

She was really brave!

If you don't warm up properly beforehand, you're bound to get cramps if you go into this water temperature!

When the woman asked this question, the people nearby all immediately shook their heads.

Actually, some of them can swim.

But fearing trouble, he simply shook his head and said no.

After all, visibility in the lake is low at night, and the drowning person is struggling wildly, so the risk of rushing into the water to save them is extremely high.

They naturally dared not go into the water casually.

"Oh my god, help!

Someone please save my child!

"The woman collapsed to the ground in despair, wanting to go into the water but unable to swim, and could only cry out in despair.

At this moment, Chen Mo and Su Yuqing arrived nearby.

Seeing the two men, the woman's hope was rekindled.

"Young man, can you swim?

Please, please save my child!

He just saw someone drowning and tried to go in to save him, but he failed and drowned himself!

"Originally, Chen Mo did not intend to meddle in the affairs of people who ignored warnings and brought trouble upon themselves after seeing the clothes on the shore.

But now that he heard the woman say that, he realized that two people had drowned, and the one still struggling was the one who went down to save them.

If that's the case, then it's necessary to step in and help.

After all, he used to be a criminal police officer, and if he has the ability to rescue a good person in distress, he certainly wouldn't stand by and watch them die.
