Chapter 12: Life is Like First Love (12)

  Judging from his tone, he doesn't seem to mind and even asked me, an outsider, about this matter.

  I hesitated for a moment: "Maybe I know."

  He Mochen hooked up the corner of his mouth and revealed an extremely shallow and light smile: "She's dead."

  I'm not sure if this "ta" is a "he" or a "she", so I tentatively asked: "Is it your dad or your mom?"

  A chill suddenly emerged from the back, just as I mentioned his parents, he looked at me with a glimmer of coldness in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

  "No, it's a girl."

  Staring at his unusually gentle eyes, I wondered if I was hallucinating from overworking today: "A girl? A girl you like?"

  "Do you like her?" His expression was very calm, and he smiled softly, "No, I don't like her."

  "You don't like her because you love her, right?"

  "Maybe."

  I was silent, and the usually taciturn He Mochen said something so deeply emotional that it wasn't frightening, what's frightening is what he said next: "But that was only when I thought she was dead. Once I found out she was actually still alive, I started to hate her."

  The heavens are above, in this situation, how can I respond? Should I point at him and scold him loudly, saying that his psychological distortion is truly infuriating? But after all, he's just a child who lacks love.

  Wait, I had an idea - didn't he say that girl was still alive?

  "What exactly did that girl do to make you hate her?"

  I think this topic is quite good, because after a brief expressionless face, He Mochen's face suddenly lit up like the sun breaking through the clouds, and his warm smile with a hint of playfulness made my little heart skip a beat.

  "I was just joking, didn't expect you to take it seriously, really not easy to fool." After finishing speaking, he patted the books on the desk that he had arranged neatly and walked out of the classroom by himself.

  It's unbelievable, someone like him... would actually make this kind of joke?

  I sat there for a long time until his figure disappeared outside the window, only then did I realize that I should have slammed several books on his face just now.

  But after knowing he had never loved or hated any girl before, I inexplicably felt relieved.

  For a moment I felt a little melancholy, is this a sign that my mind has also started to develop abnormally?

  After returning to the dormitory, my BFF immediately asked me how I felt about this tutoring session.

  "It feels... quite enjoyable."

  I almost knelt down, orz...... Why do I have the feeling that it's like being asked what my feelings are about **, and then I carefully recalled it before answering seriously? Dammit, am I in autumn already?!

  I covered my face: "Actually, what I meant was that listening to his voice is especially good at making people focus."

  Mei Mei excitedly pounced over: "Didn't he do anything out of line to you?"

  "Are you happy now that I'm being ridiculed? 'Living with the School Flower: The Whole Story!' Seeing her covering her face in embarrassment, I also covered my face and said, 'It's okay, He Mochen's attitude is much better than I imagined. By the way, didn't you guys say you were going to take good care of me? Why did you all abandon me later?"

  "We were actually going to wait for you to finish and leave together, but when the girls in our class saw Huo Mochen helping you with your homework up close, their eyes almost popped out, and the whole classroom was filled with an astringent taste. We had no choice but to retreat early." Xiao Yu helplessly spread her hands.

  "Huh? They reacted that strongly? I didn't feel anything at all." Later on, I only heard He Mochen's voice.

  "That's right, you and He Mochen are both so serious when talking to each other, just like a world of two people. Mu Mu became more and more excited as she spoke, "Later on, I'll also help Ye Song with his studies, the material for grade 2 is still no problem for me, most importantly we also want to experience this kind of dense learning atmosphere in our own little world."

  I rubbed my head and laughed: "Haha, two-person world, great! Supplementing is also good. I think after He Mochen helped me supplement for a while, in the unit test in a few days, I won't need to review, listening comprehension can directly get full marks."

  Haiying and Aqian seemed to have let out a sigh of relief: "Although you exaggerated a bit, but now that your English grades should improve shouldn't be a problem, just be careful not to be tempted by beauty."

  I nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice, trying my best to cover up the tiny ripples in my heart.

  In the following days, I ignored the increasingly fierce rumors and still went to He Mochen's place for half an hour of tutoring every night after self-study. What surprised me was that He Mochen was still calm and composed, and his attitude towards explaining questions was as serious as ever, seemingly unaffected by external influences.

  And when I occasionally glance up to see his resolute jawline, my heart unexpectedly overflows with joyful little flowers, seemingly trending towards a sea of blossoms.

  I have a vague feeling that things are going to get out of hand if this continues, but I don't know how to stop it.

  But for now, the most important thing is to improve my English score, so I can only try my best to maintain a decent and obedient student image.

  Until that Saturday night.

  That day was Mu Mu's 17th birthday, Ye Song booked the largest private room in his name at KTV to celebrate Mu Mu's birthday, and he invited everyone in our class.

  Mumu was originally happy with a lovely face all day, and her sweet appearance almost attracted a swarm of bees. But when she saw a girl in the private room, she immediately got angry.

  Her name is Su Ranran, a senior in high school and also Ye Song's ex-girlfriend.

  Not only was Mu Mu angry, but we also blamed Ye Song for being incompetent.

  It's clearly your current girlfriend's birthday, yet you still bring along your dressed-up ex-girlfriend, what does this mean?

  Ye Song immediately explained that it was because they wanted to get close to He Mochen, after all, they were classmates and couldn't be too distant, and there weren't many people, so they just brought them along.

  It wasn't until then that we noticed there were other girls who dressed up flashily besides Su Ranran.

  Knowing that Ye Song has a business mind under his father's influence, Mu Mu's mood immediately improved. But my mood kept sinking, and I only had one thought in my mind -

  Those girls came specifically to flirt with He Mochen.
