On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter
Chapter Summary
He had already asked the question before Zhao Yueyue sent the message, but not in as much detail as Zhao Yueyue wanted. Although Chu Mengyao thought Chen Mo's parents were very open-minded, she never expected that they would agree to Chen Mo having a girlfriend when he was in high school, or even living with her.

Chapter 176
They're living together, but she's still not his girlfriend?
Huang Mao took out his phone and saw that it was a message from Zhao Yueyue asking him to spy on military intelligence.
Huang Mao smiled and put down his phone without paying any attention, looking at Chen Mo.
He had already asked the question before Zhao Yueyue sent the message, but not in as much detail as Zhao Yueyue wanted.
In her text message, Zhao Yueyue was trying to find out the specific relationship between Chen Mo and this girl.
When Huang Mao asked, Chen Mo replied nonchalantly, "Chu Mengyao, my childhood playmate.
""Childhood playmates?
Isn't that childhood sweethearts?
" Huang Mao asked in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Chu Mengyao's eyes immediately curved into crescent moons.
"Childhood sweethearts?
" Chen Mo had never really considered this term before, but now that he thought about it, it did seem to be a pretty good relationship.
"I suppose so," Chen Mo replied with a faint smile.
"What do you mean 'considered'?
We're best buddies," Chu Mengyao said, putting her arm around Chen Mo's shoulder.
It was precisely because of her habitual behavior that Chen Mo never had any sense of distance or related thoughts about her in a relationship with the opposite sex.
They really treat each other like best buddies.
Whether Chu Mengyao really thought that way is unknown.
"This is my deskmate, no, now he's my former deskmate, his name is Huang Mao, you can just call him Huang Mao.
" Chen Mo introduced Huang Mao with a smile.
"Former deskmate?
Who's your current deskmate?
It's not that pretty girl, is it?
" Chu Mengyao asked Su Yuqing.
She had only made a casual joke, but Huang Mao laughed and said, "You're absolutely right.
This guy values women over friends.
He abandoned his old classmate and went to sit at the same table with a beautiful woman.
""Don't be so smug, you're more satisfied with your current deskmate than I was with you.
"Listening to the banter between her two good buddies, Chu Mengyao's expression changed slightly.
He was joking, but then became serious for a second.
That girl was truly beautiful; she possessed an ethereal quality that stood out even in a crowd.
If it were any other girl, Chu Mengyao felt that she could still pull things along because of her relationship with Chen Mo.
But if it were this girl, it seems like I don't have much of a chance of winning.
"Brother Mo has great taste!
His girlfriend is definitely a campus beauty," Chu Mengyao joked, pretending not to care.
"I already told you we're not girlfriend yet, so don't talk nonsense in front of others.
" Chen Mo rolled his eyes at Chu Mengyao speechlessly.
"Don't listen to his nonsense.
They're living together and he's still not her girlfriend.
Oh, right, he's definitely not her girlfriend anymore.
He should be called my wife.
" Huang Mao immediately followed up with a grin and a sarcastic remark.
"Huh!?
" Chu Mengyao was completely stunned upon hearing this.
"Living together...?
"How old are they?
How come they're already living together?
How could my parents agree to this during my high school years?
Chu Mengyao found it hard to believe.
She did live with Chen Mo when she was little, but since they were all just kids, her parents didn't pay much attention.
Because the two often went to each other's houses to play games, and when they played late, they simply slept at each other's houses.
The parents were very close, and had even planned to get engaged to each other in private if their children were interested in each other.
But as we grew older and our parents became more successful, they bought better houses and lived further away, so we saw each other much less often.
We don't even go to the same school, so we rarely have the chance to meet in person.
Most of the time, we meet online to play games together.
Although Chu Mengyao thought Chen Mo's parents were very open-minded, she never expected that they would agree to Chen Mo having a girlfriend when he was in high school, or even living with her.
The most outrageous thing is, how did the woman's parents even agree to it?
She simply couldn't believe it.
"Don't listen to his nonsense.
They just live in the same house.
There are some things that are hard to explain right now.
Just don't talk nonsense in front of him.
" Chen Mo was still worried that Chu Mengyao might say something that would embarrass Su Yuqing.
"What do you mean by just living in the same house?
Isn't that cohabitation?
" Huang Mao continued to tease with a smile.
"Brother Mo, you're so naughty!
You've already learned how to keep a mistress at such a young age," Chu Mengyao teased Chen Mo.
"Don't be ridiculous.
I'm only staying here for a short time because of some special reasons.
Anyway, it's not what you think, so stop talking nonsense.
" Chen Mo rolled his eyes at the two of them.
Chu Mengyao had known Chen Mo since childhood, so she had some understanding of his reactions to his words.
Chen Mo's demeanor when he said this didn't seem like he was shy or lying; he must really have something on his mind.
Normally, it would be unlikely that any parent would agree to their daughter living in the home of a strange boy during high school.
During adolescence, it's easy for a young man and woman to get into trouble when they're alone together.
This is a very serious matter.
Therefore, Chen Mo's words are clearly more credible.
Even if there were special reasons, the two of them were at least living under the same roof.
Living under the same roof with such a beautiful girl, even if there's nothing between you now, as the saying goes, familiarity breeds fondness, and one day your relationship will take a step further.
The fact that the girl was willing to live in Chen Mo's house was already a clear signal.
Chu Mengyao put herself in the other person's shoes and considered what it would be like to live alone in a strange man's house.
She would never agree to that, even if you killed her.
Unless you have a strong liking for the guy, to the point where you wouldn't care if something happened between you, you might not dare to stay at his house.
Otherwise, even if someone only has a slight liking for another person, they wouldn't dare to move into their home directly.
She knew very well that Chen Mo's parents were away from home all year round, and the house they bought for Chen Mo was basically for Chen Mo to live in alone.
This man and woman, living alone together.
I've heard that boys this age are the most ravenous.
What kind-hearted person would leave their precious daughter alone in the home of a boy of that age?
Chu Mengyao didn't even dare to think about what Su Yuqing's family situation was like.
There must be something hidden behind this.
However, she naturally didn't want to pry into other people's privacy, so she didn't dwell on it any further.
What she was most curious about now was what exactly was the relationship between Chen Mo and Su Yuqing.
Even if he says on the surface that the two are not in a romantic relationship.
However, just like the mindset of girls mentioned earlier, if a girl is a complete stranger or doesn't have a high level of liking for a guy, it's very difficult for her to be willing to live with him.
Now, the same principle applies in reverse.
What is the reason why Chen Mo is willing to live with Su Yuqing?
Was it because Su Yuqing was pretty enough?
Or did he have feelings for her?
Chu Mengyao was very curious about this.
