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

Chapter 3
: Change of clothes!

"Here.

" When she put the dark grey towel over her head, she could smell the scent of sandalwood shampoo.

"This is the only one I use for drying my hair.

If you don't mind, use it.

"The girl hurriedly grabbed the edge of the towel that was about to slip off, and the itchy feeling of wet hair sticking to the back of her neck suddenly became a hundred times more obvious.

When Chen Mo naturally retreated to the dining table three meters away, her curled toes stretched slightly in her wet light blue socks.

But when she caught a glimpse of the other person's tight waistline that was faintly visible under her rain-soaked shirt, she abruptly shifted her gaze, grabbed the towel tightly and began to wipe her hair.

"Can you lend me some clothes?

" Su Yuqing grabbed the hem of her wet shirt.

The water dripping from her skirt and shirt formed small puddles on the beige floor tiles.

Only then did Chen Mo notice that her clothes were a bit old, and it wasn't because they had been kept in the evidence room for years.

Even the red rope tied around her left ankle was slightly faded.

"Since you have to change clothes anyway, you might as well go take a hot bath...

otherwise you'll catch a cold if you're so cold.

"Speaking of taking a bath, Su Yuqing suddenly lowered her head shyly and hummed softly.

"There's no bathtub in the guest room's bathroom.

If you don't mind, please use the bathroom in my room.

I'll run some hot water for you.

""Hmm...

" Su Yuqing's face turned even redder when she thought about taking a bath in the place where Chen Mo usually took a bath.

Her little hands were so cramped that they were almost fused together.

As the sound of water being released rang out, Su Yuqing looked at Chen Mo's busy back and mustered up the courage to ask, "Classmate Chen Mo...

""What's wrong?

" Chen Mo turned to look at her and added, "Just call me by my name.

""I...

you...

" Su Yuqing originally wanted to ask why Chen Mo let her in without asking any questions.

"Are you wondering why I don't ask you why you want to live in my house?

" Chen Mo said with a smile.

Su Yuqing looked at Chen Mo in surprise, then her beautiful eyes flashed and she nodded with curiosity.

"I think that if there is no compelling reason, a beauty like you would not knock on my door and ask for shelter on a rainy night.

Since it is a compelling reason, it is not something that can be told to outsiders.

In this case, it would be a bit rude of me to ask further questions.

" Chen Mo said, quoting an ancient saying.

Listening to Chen Mo's words, Su Yuqing couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.

She heard Chen Mo's gentleness, tolerance, understanding and kindness.

She was once again convinced that she had made the right choice.

She even heard Chen Mo praising her as a great beauty.

Amidst her complex emotions, she couldn't help but feel a hint of sweet joy.

"The bath water is ready.

" Chen Mo stood up and slowly walked towards Su Yuqing.

Suddenly, he reached out and pushed her against the wall, grinning and saying, "I'm not worried about whether you have any ill intentions living here, but are you afraid that I will do something bad to you if you live here?

"Feeling the warm breath of the boy in front of her and the ambiguous atmosphere at the moment, Su Yuqing felt a warm current surge through her body.

She slumped slightly against the wall, bit her lips lightly and said, "I believe you...

"After saying that, her beautiful eyes trembled and for the first time she boldly looked directly into Chen Mo's eyes.

She didn't say whether she was afraid or not, she just said I believe you.

This answer directly blocked Chen Mo's space to continue teasing her.

As the two sides looked at each other, the atmosphere gradually became more romantic.

At this moment, the atmosphere seemed to have reached a point where it would be a bit impolite not to kiss.

But Chen Mo still stopped.

Because he has important things to do tonight.

He smiled, withdrew his hand and said, "Go take a bath...

""Change of clothes...

" Su Yuqing said in a mosquito-like voice.

"I almost forgot.

" The closet door creaked awkwardly.

Chen Mo's fingertips hovered over the folded clothes for a moment, pulling out the light gray sweatshirt he'd never worn—a birthday gift from his mother last year.

The tag still dangled from the sleeve.

"With your figure, this sweatshirt could easily double as a jumpsuit.

Wear it as a replacement for now.

Wash your clothes in the washing machine, then put them in the dryer.

It should dry quickly," Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Yeah...

" Su Yuqing nodded, then turned and went into the bathroom, "Thank you, Chen Mo...

"Before closing the bathroom door, she looked at Chen Mo with a comfortable smile and said.

This was one of the few genuine smiles she had shown in recent years.

Half of her thanks were for Chen Mo's taking her in, and the other half were for Chen Mo's understanding and tolerance without even asking why, which was what moved her even more.

Soon the sound of a shower was heard in the bathroom, and after a long while, the sound of a body sinking into the bathtub was heard.

Hearing this, Chen Mo smiled and turned to leave the bedroom, closing the door and going to prepare ginger tea...

After some time.

When the bathroom door was opened, steaming mist spread in the bedroom.

Su Yuqing stepped barefoot on the cotton mat that Chen Mo had laid out in advance.

The residual heat from the hair dryer still lingered in her fluffy hair, and her unmade-up cheeks were faintly flushed by the heat.

The hem of her wide sweater swayed slightly with her reserved steps, revealing two inches of fair skin above her knees.

"The slippers have been put there for you.

" Chen Mo said from afar when he heard the bedroom door open.

Looking at the warm plush slippers at the door and feeling Chen Mo's attentiveness in every detail, Su Yuqing felt less shy.

She put on the slippers and walked out with a warm heart.

She curled up her toes and rubbed the warm fur on the soles of the shoes, and her heart relaxed a lot.

As soon as she walked out of the bedroom, the sweet and warm scent of honey ginger soup floated to Su Yuqing's nose.

"Come and have some ginger soup.

" When Chen Mo approached, due to the height difference, he could look down at some different scenery, which made his hand holding the mug pause subconsciously, but his Adam's apple rolled slightly along with the wide collar of Su Yuqing's sweater that was unconsciously opened.

When Su Yuqing took the mug, her fingertips brushed against his palm lines, and the sweet scent of honey mixed with the spicy scent of ginger lingered in her breath.

The way she sipped reminded Chen Mo of the stray kittens adopted by the police station, they were all so cute and adorable.

"Do you want me to...

cook some noodles for you?

" Chen Mo suddenly pointed to the unopened bag of noodles in the cupboard.

"Will it be too troublesome...

" Su Yuqing touched her belly and indeed felt a little empty.

"What's the trouble?

It only takes a few minutes to cook the noodles.

Why don't you sit for a while?

I'll add two eggs for you.

"Chen Mo stood up with a smile, but was stopped by a small hand.

"I can fry an egg, so I'll help.

""Okay.

" Chen Mo smiled.

After coming to the kitchen and washing the vegetables, Su Yuqing was very surprised.

She didn't expect Chen Mo's knife skills to be so good.

The rhythm of the knife hitting the chopping board gradually matched the sound of rain outside the window, and soon neatly sliced ​​tomatoes and ham appeared on the chopping board.

When the girl stepped onto a small stool and stood on tiptoe to reach the top egg carton, the hem of her sweatshirt formed a thrilling arc with the movement.

Chen Mo just glanced at it and suddenly found half of the roundness.

He suddenly realized that Su Yuqing seemed to be not wearing any underwear.
