Chapter 109: Adulthood

Qiao Lan had never played a game like House of Horrors or Escape Room before, and when she found out that there was such an option, Qiao Lan made it the first place she wanted to go.

Although Qiao Lan admits that she is not very brave and that we all watched a horror movie together in the dorm before she wore the book, Qiao Lan spent half of the time covering her eyes, but the more scared she was, the more she wanted to watch it.

Xie Hongyi obviously noticed Tan Mo's brighter mood and did not dare to tell Tan Mo that she had talked to Qiao Lan in private, but asked Tan Mo why she was suddenly in such a good mood, as if she didn't know anything.

Tan Mo is in a good mood and is not as aloof as usual. He even tells Xie Hongyi that he is going out with Qiao Lan at the weekend with the intention of showing his love.

Xie Hongyi said "Oh", thinking that Qiao Lan was really the one who had the solution, and casually asked where you were going to play.

[Escape Room.]

A normal person would know that this is a couple's date, but Xie Hongyi, who is not smart and has a great interest in these games, was instantly excited, "Take me with you, I want to play too!"

The other two housemates: "......"

Tan Mo's face is expressionless.

"Not the two of you can not open ah, then it is not to team with others, and other people team might as well take me ... you do ha ah I said is not the big truth?"

Tan Mo: "Get out."

The other two housemates: ...... emotional quotient is not enough let's talk less, okay, I really fear that one day you will be Tan Mo to death.

As for Qiao Lan's dorm room, Luo Man was in a good mood after learning that Qiao Lan was not going, and with a smile on his face, he advised Qiao Lan, "It's our first time meeting, how can we not go? ..."

"Can you stop pretending when you're obviously happy? You think you're the centre of attention now that LanLan's not there..."

Liu Cancan and Luo Man argue again and Qiao Lan puts on his headphones with a long sigh.

Although the idea came about because of Tan Mo, Qiao Lan started to reconsider the issue of living at school or moving out because she spent too little time with Tan Mo every day and did not know and care enough about Tan Mo, which made Tan Mo feel more insecure.

Now that the two of them are arguing again, Qiao Lan thinks she can move out of the hostel immediately.

Qiao Lan had thought a lot about it before, and Tan Mo was insecure.

There are several reasons why a person in a relationship may not feel secure.

For example, she is not good enough, which can be ruled out. Ever since Qiao Lan met Tan Mo, Tan Mo has been the best and most attractive boy in Qiao Lan's mind, or she takes her relationship too seriously, as Tan Mo's other half, Qiao Lan enjoys this state of affairs and values each other as a couple should.

The rest of the story is just a summary of the feeling that the other person doesn't like you enough.

Then let him feel how much he likes him, tell Tan Mo him over and over how good he is, tell him how much he likes him, tell him how much he can't live without him.

If you don't like her paying attention to other things, pay less attention and focus less on things other than Tan Mo. If you don't like her getting close to people of the opposite sex, keep your distance from other friends of the opposite sex.

Whether this is right or wrong, Qiao Lan does not feel aggrieved nor does she find it difficult to do so.

Dating is about going out looking good.

Qiao Lan wore the most satisfying make-up she has ever worn.

On Saturday morning, the two sat together in the slightly empty canteen for breakfast.

Tan Mo watches Qiao Lan coming from a distance, with a sharp step, almost a trot.

It's getting cold and Qiao Lan is wearing a blue trench coat that looks familiar to Tan Mo, who bought it for her.

The blue vintage sleeves and the waist are a classic shape, and the Qiao Lan is tall and has a good proportion.

She even had a perm today, her long hair curling up at the ends, her eyes dark and smiling as she asked him, "Is it a good day?"

"It looks good," Tan Mo says, brushing her fingers over Qiao Lan's cheek, which is particularly nice.

As well as looking good, it's ...... hooky.

Qiao Lan nuzzled his cheek against his hand and gently rubbed it next to his, then caught Tan Mo off guard with a kiss on the wrist and said, "You're especially nice too."

Tan Mo was slightly stunned, unprepared not only for the kiss, but also for the compliment.

"What kind of reaction is that", Qiao Lan's crooked smile deepened, "Haven't I ever said you were good looking before?"

Tan Mo shakes his head in bewilderment.

None.

This time Qiao Lan was amazed, was there really none?

Ever since she met Tan Mo, she has thought Tan Mo was particularly good looking, and sometimes even sighed to herself how her boyfriend could be so good looking, but she had never told Tan Mo that?

"How can I not have said it before", Qiao Lan murmured, and after muttering to himself, he didn't dwell on it anymore, he hadn't said it before so he said it now.

"MoMo," Qiao Lan called out to Tan Mo, and said

"You're the best looking boy I've ever seen."

After saying this, he added, "There is no one!"

Tan Mo is frozen again.

According to the various types of mimicry he had studied, at this moment he probably needed to say thank you and then return the compliment, but apparently such a cold response did not suit him at all at this moment, his heart was beating fast, and after a long silly moment his ears quietly reddened and he stifled two words.

"No..."

"I don't want you to think it's me," Qiao Lan said, borrowing from a recent and rather popular joke, "I think you look the best, it doesn't matter how you look, don't argue with me, eat!"

Tan Mo opened his mouth to say something, but finally gave up, his mind filled with Qiao Lan's "I think you think" and a silent but unmistakable good mood.

The two of them went to the Oceanarium in the morning. Qiao Lan didn't understand why some people say that the Oceanarium is a dating mecca, but only after they arrived did they realise that the relaxed atmosphere here is particularly soothing, as the whole world is blue and the cool lighting makes them look even better when they turn their heads and look at their already good-looking boyfriend.

As Qiao Lan and Tan Mo walked hand in hand out of the Oceanarium and down the street, she suddenly realised that the important thing about dating is not where you go, but the person you are with.

As long as it's Tan Mo, she feels happy wherever she goes to do something.

But Qiao Lan was instantly excited to finally see the escape room she had been waiting for.

As it was a weekend, there were quite a lot of people coming to play, both men and women, and couples too.

Qiao Lan, who appeared bold but was actually a wimp, was also startled by the female ghost cloaked on the wall, but still acted tough and turned to Tan Mo and whispered, "MoMo, if you're scared we can choose the non-scary ones."

Tan Mo wants to say that he is not afraid, probably because since he was a child, what he fears most is the human heart, these suspicious things, Tan Mo does not feel anything, not to mention that he has Asperger syndrome, his emotional perception is much slower than ordinary people, he does not even quite understand what it feels like to be afraid.

Tan Mo thought about Qiao Lan's words and then shook his head "thoughtfully", "No."

You like to play scary then we'll play scary.

Qiao Lan: "......"

In a group of six, Qiao Lan Tan Mo was assigned to a group with another couple and two girls, and with a girl's sensitive sixth sense, Qiao Lan could guarantee that the two girls and even the girl who already had a boyfriend were glancing at Tan Mo from time to time!

Qiao Lan instantly tightened her grip on Tan Mo's hand and Tan Mo looked down and whispered in her ear, "What's wrong?

Qiao Lan similarly whispered back to Tan Mo, "Declare ownership over the girls who covet you."

Tan Mo then lifted her eyes to look at the rest of the group before she couldn't resist giving Qiao Lan a kiss on the earlobe.

Tan Mo doesn't know if it's just his illusion or something else, but today's Qiao Lan is so sweet, whether it's his sudden comment in the morning that he's still watching, or his initiative to hide in his arms when it's a bit cold in the oceanarium, and now his cute and bossy little capriciousness, it's all so sweet that Tan Mo's heart is tantalized all the time.

He held the man tightly in his arms, thinking that there was no need to declare ownership, and that if Qiao Lan hadn't said so, he wouldn't have even noticed if his teammate was a man or a woman.

There is only one Qiao Lan in his eyes.

The four people next to me who had a flat out doggie dinner: "......"

One of the couples, the girl, looked at Tan Mo who was holding Qiao Lan tightly in her arms, reached out and gave her boyfriend a hard hammer and complained sullenly, "Look at her!"

The boy was baffled, remembering how Qiao Lan had just spoken and pouted in Tan Mo's ear, and depressed, he also said, "Look at you!"

Qiao Lan and Tan Mo had no idea what they had done and when the game started a while later, Qiao Lan saw the couple ignoring each other and sighed to himself that they were not in love enough.

But only for a moment, because the game was far more terrifying than Qiao Lan could have imagined, as a white figure had just floated through her body.

Tan Mo, who has remained unchanged and calm since he came in, holds Qiao Lan in one hand while losing numbers with the other.

This level involves pi, which is written above the wall to the last many digits of the pie, with one digit deducted in the middle, about the 15th or 6th digit.

The boy who was with him complained that the question was too dumb and that he wasn't allowed to bring his mobile phone, but as he was saying that Tan Mo had already entered the numbers.

"Ugh you don't try anything ......"

Get it wrong the ceiling on your head is going down ......

Before the words were out of his mouth, the door opened.

Boys: "......"

The boy's girlfriend, doubly humiliated, hammered her boyfriend again, "Look at you!"

This time the boys finally ran out of things to say.

Tan Mo's uncanny intelligence and sensitivity allowed him to break the code before anyone else could think of a way to do it, and he was able to get several people out in no time at all.

The girl in the group, who was attracted to Tan Mo's charisma, couldn't resist and approached Tan Mo when she finally came out, "So...have you played before?"

"No," Tan Mo blurted out.

"What school are you guys from? You're really good, we can play together sometime in the future ......"

"No," Tan Mo was a statue in front of the others, taking Qiao Lan out and pinching his girlfriend's smooth face, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Lan looked at Tan Mo steadily for a long time and said, "Nothing."

But after waiting a while, it really didn't hold back again, "How can you be so good!"

Tan Mo once again sighed that Qiao Lan was really overly sweet today, remembering that the boy he was just with complained that he didn't have much of a gaming experience because he was there, and looked down at Qiao Lan and asked her, "Won't I get bored with this?"

"Why not," Qiao Lan said, shaking her head without even thinking, watching her boyfriend beat the others along the way with a sense of pride that was simply too good to be true.

Tan Mo's heart warmed up and the little worry she had just had disappeared, "Then we'll come back later if we want to."

"Okay," Qiao Lan smiles, letting Tan Mo take her hand.

Qiao Lan is really happy and blissful. In the morning, we go to the Oceanarium after a while, at noon we ride our bicycles to eat Japanese food in front of the crowds, in the afternoon we go to the House of Horrors to play with our boyfriend and show our love, in the evening we walk through the streets together and eat hot pot together. When we're done eating, we go to buy two cups of milk tea with different flavours, I'll try yours and you try mine, and slowly pace around the lake to cool off, listen to the street singers and watch the old grandparents sitting on the side of the road playing cards.

It's like a running account, but isn't that a daily reflection of all those who love each other?

Qiao Lan looked at the grandmother sitting by the lake, resting on her grandfather's shoulder, and called out softly to Tan Mo, "MoMo."

"Hmm."

"When we're old, we're going to be like the grandparents over there."

Tan Mo followed Qiao Lan's line of sight and saw the old couple in their old age, and for a moment his eyes were sore and he almost shed a tear.

"OK," Qiao Lan asks him.

"Good," Tan Mo said dully, of course it was good, more good than he dared even think about.

"Are you having a good day."

Tan Mo buried his cheek in the crook of Qiao Lan's neck and let out a muffled "mmm".

"Shouldn't we go back to school then, we won't be able to get into the dorm if it's any later."

Tan Mo: "...... hmmm."

Qiao Lan stifled a laugh and continued, "It doesn't really matter if you can't get in."

"Hmm?"

This time Tan Mo didn't get it.

Qiao Lan stood on tiptoe and whispered in Tan Mo's ear, "After twelve, you'll be an adult."

Tan Mo's hand tightened around Qiao Lan, his heartbeat suddenly quickened and his voice was a little unsteady, "...so what."

"That's why I brought my ID card," Qiao Lan whispered in Tan Mo's ear as he nibbled on it.

"There are some things that come with adulthood that you can do now."
