Chapter 44: A Very Strange Sense of Intimacy

  Dad and Mom become fake adults

  She didn't know what to do and was at a loss as to how to face it.

  Facing her classmates' strange gaze and contemptuous discussion, she really felt ashamed and embarrassed.

  Stunned and numb, with no thoughts in mind.

  "Thank you! No need!" With a simple phrase, Ling Xiang politely declined Mo Lin's kindness and quickly turned to leave the restaurant.

  This is awkward for Molin, his lips curled up in a mocking arc, causing the surrounding classmates to scream in unison.

  Even more incredibly, just as Morin was about to withdraw his hand, a female classmate stepped forward and took the boxed lunch from him.

  "Classmate, she doesn't want it, so give it to me?" The female classmate was seducing Mo Lin with a flirtatious expression.

  Mo Lin didn't even see who the newcomer was. He pushed the boxed lunch to the girl who came to pay her respects, and then hastily ran out of the cafeteria in the direction where Ling Xiang had disappeared.

  From what he saw earlier, Ling Xiang's face had a dark cloud hovering over it, and he could clearly feel that she seemed to be angry!

  Perhaps... he shouldn't have helped her pay the bill in front of their classmates, perhaps... he shouldn't have appeared to bail her out, doing so would only make her feel even more ashamed.

  Ling Xiang! This is a very peculiar girl. When Mo Lin first laid eyes on her, he deeply fell in love with this kind of girl.

  I don't know why. The heart that beats for her, the moment he saw her for the first time, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity as if they had known each other for a long time.

  He felt as if he had seen her somewhere before, her gaze, her face, her words, her movements, everything seemed so familiar and warm to him.

  Just saw her walking away in a huff, he felt extremely frustrated and disheartened.

  So... he caught up with her just because he wanted to simply explain to her that he didn't intentionally try to embarrass her in front of their classmates.

  At last, on the long maple road leading to the restaurant, he finally blocked her way.

  "Wait a minute!" Molin ran with big sweat, bent over and panted heavily, his pleading tone was still so gentle and soft.

  Ling Xiang stopped in her tracks, her embarrassed gaze scanning every detail of Mo Lin's body. She also had a kind of inexplicable intuition, feeling that the young man in front of her seemed really familiar to her.

  What's... what's wrong with him? Why is he sweating so much? It's clear that his rapid breathing is really causing him a lot of distress.

  "Are you okay?" Ling Xiang furrowed her brow, pulled out a tissue from her pocket and handed it to Mo Lin.

  "It's okay! Let me rest for a bit!" Molin took the tissue handed over by Ling Xiang, squatted down thoroughly and wiped away the sweat beads on his forehead.

  His appearance made her heart ache with an inexplicable sorrow.
