Ye Mo saw that Ye Ling wanted him to run and felt touched. Although the things Ye Ling did was very naïve, her intent was to save Ye Mo and Ye Zifeng. From that perspective, she did suffer many hardships. Ye Mo knew that Ye Ling didnât like him, but why did she still do so much for him?
Ye Mo suddenly raised his hand, touched Ye Lingâs hair and sighed. âStupid, if I leave now, you would be dead. Donât worry. Since I can kill Song Shaowen and still have nothing happen, nothing will happen now. Plus, I didnât kill Song Shaochen.â
Ye Ling felt weird after being touched by Ye Mo. A faint sense of being cared for circulated er heart. She had never been cared for. Even her brother Ye Zifeng always complain that she was too immature. But now, she had this feeling. Her fatigued heart seemed to have something to depend on. She suddenly wanted to lay in Ye Moâs arms and call him big brother, but at the same time, she felt distant with the Ye Mo in front of her compared to the original Ye Mo.
The two sunk into silence, but Ye Ling soon reacted. She thought about Ye Moâs safety and hurried, âYou didnât kill Song Shaochen? Then if he calls the cops on you, where will you go? Even if he doesnât call the cops, the Song Family knows youâre in Beijing, you still wouldnât be able to escape, what shall we do...â
Ye Mo smiled. âDonât worry, the Song Family doesnât dare to look for me now. Nothing will happen tomorrow.â Ye Mo saw things clearly. Since he came to Beijing and the Song Family didnât look for him, then they wouldnât look for him now. Even if they were to, it would be after theyâve completely investigated the situation. If Song Jiaming knew he could come back safely from the Nan Qingâs HQ and still look for trouble with him without any reason, then the Song Family wouldnât be still alive today.
Ye Ling looked at Ye Mo in a daze; she didnât know why Ye Mo said the Song Family didnât dare to look for him. She also knew that Ye Mo wasnât the same as before.
Although Ye Mo didnât kill Song Shaochen, he still left a time bomb on him. Song Shaochen didnât have long to live. Ye Mo thought that after he left Beijing, the Song Family wouldnât be able to do anything to him, but they could attack Ye Ling and Ye Zifeng. Thinking about this, Ye Mo felt like he had a headache. Now, he didnât dare to overtly eradicate the Song Family. Since he couldnât, he needed to worry about this.
Seeing that Ye Mo was in thought, Ye Ling said, âWhere would you stay tonight?â Ye Ling wanted to call him brother but couldnât. The original Ye Mo had too much of a bad impression in her mind.
Ye Mo came back from his thought and decided he would think about it later. Now that Ye Ling asked, he said, âI have a place to live, what about you? Iâll send you back.â
âMhm, Iâm living at campus.â Ye Ling wanted to ask how Ye Mo had been, but didnât know where to start. Plus, she saw the ordinary clothes on him and knew he wasnât living a wealthy life. Perhaps he was even living a desolate life. She was scared that if she asked, Ye Mo would be sad. She didnât know where he got his powers from, but eventually, she couldnât resist and asked. Ye Mo didnât know where to start, so he simply described his life and didnât mention him going to the desert and being hunted. These things were too distant with Ye Lingâs life. He didnât want Ye Ling to be worried.
From Ye Ling, Ye Mo heard that Ye Zifeng had been very busy recently, but Ye Ling didnât know why. Ye Zifeng barely discussed such things with Ye Ling.
The two walked as they talked and came back to Hua Uni. At the door, Ye Mo remembered Zhuo Yangqing. He looked around and Zhuo Yangqing was long gone.
âGo back to the dorms first, Iâm going. Tomorrow, find Zifeng, we need to talk.â Ye Mo sent Ye ling to the door. He wanted to go scout at the Song Family. If the Song Family decided to shatter the glass and fight him, he needs to be prepared.
âCome inside and have a seat.â Seeing Ye Mo was going, Ye Ling couldnât resist to say. She still had a lot of things she wanted to talk about, plus, Ye Mo changed too much that made her feel dependent on him. At the moment, she actually didnât want him to leave.
Ye Mo hesitated and saw the âmales are forbiddenâ sign. Although he also went to Uni at Ning Hai, he had never been to the female dorms. Now that the weather was getting warmer, it didnât seem appropriate to go into the female dorms.
Ye Ling saw Ye Moâs gaze and knew he was worrying he couldnât go in, so she hurried to say, âItâs okay, the He Ma at the door is very nice to me, sheâll definitely let you in. Plus, all of the girls in my dorm arenât here tonight. They are going to a social with Shi Uni.â
Originally, Ye Mo didnât worry about going in; he had too many ways to, but he was just worried it would affect others. Now that Ye Ling said this, he wanted to go in and see too. He just wanted to see if he could set up a simple defense formation there. And, he wanted to talk to Ye Ling. If she didnât want to stay in Beijing, she could go to Luo Cang.
It was just as Ye Ling said; the aunty at the door just looked once at Ye Mo and didnât stop him from going in.
Ye Lingâs dorm was closed and it was pitch black. Ye Ling was right; the girls werenât back.
Ye Mo habitually scanned his spirit sense out and was immediately shocked. There were still 3 people inside the dorm.
Just when Ye Mo wanted tell Ye Ling that, Ye Ling had opened the door and said, âCome in, thereâs no one inside...â
Before Ye Ling finished speaking, the light was opened, scaring Ye Ling. In the middle of the table was a big cake.
The three girls saw Ye Ling come in and all yelled, âHappy birthday Ling!â
However, the three soon saw Ye Mo behind her and yelled in surprise. One of the girl who just wore shorts quickly took a pair of pants and put them on.
âYou guys...â Ye Ling was shocked at the scene in front of her.
One of the taller looking girl reacted and said, âLing Zi, didnât think you would be celebrating your birthday with your boyfriend. We still wanted to give you a surprise. Hehe, hurry up and introduce him, heâs really handsome.â
Ye Ling just remembered that today was her birthday; she was so busy that she forgot. She couldnât help but feel grateful to her dorm mates for preparing this for her. She immediately said, âXiao Dan, Lulu, Tianhe, thank you guys so much, you remembered my birthday.â
âEat the cake later, Lu Lu is right, introduce your boyfriend. We canât wait. This is the first time you brought your boyfriend back,â that short haired girl also said.
âYou guys are mistaken, this isnât my boyfriend.â Ye Ling waved her hand.
âPfft... You brought him back and you even said âno oneâs here you can come inâ. Did you think we didnât hear it, do you think weâre third wheeling? Donât worry, after you introduce, we can give you guys some space. He Ma just called to say youâre back, but she never said you brought a boyfriend,â the short haired girl said.
Ye Mo touched his nose awkwardly. He didnât think Ye Lingâs classmates were all back, and today was Ye Lingâs birthday. It seemed he couldnât tell her about going to Luo Cang today. And, Ye Lingâs friends were all wearing casual clothes. It wasnât convenient for him to stay here. Ye Mo could only say, âHow about I go first? We can talk tomorrow.â
Ye Ling also knew that Ye Mo probably had some things to discuss with her, but now he couldnât say it. She could only nod her head.
âHuh, why are you leaving, you just came in? Today is Ye Lingâs birthday, youâre not even helping her celebrate it. At least leave after eating the cake or introduce yourself. And you still need to invite us to dinner tomorrow,â that girl wearing shorts finally dropped the awkwardness and said.
âDan dan was seen in her undies, of course she needed someone to compensate her with food now, haha...â that short haired girl said immediately.
Ye Mo felt more awkward; he didnât even remember Ye Lingâs birthday as her brother, while Ye Lingâs dorm mates remembered it. He thought about Su Jingwenâs birthday. They both came from big families. Why was Ye Lingâs birthday so different to Su Jingwenâs? The Ye Family was much bigger than the Su family.
Thinking about this, Ye Mo felt bitter. Perhaps Ye Ling really had been enduring a lot of hardship these years.
Seeing Ye Mo stand silently at the door, Ye Ling thought Ye Mo was thinking about her life and said, âBrother, I donât care that much about my birthday, as long as you and Zifeng is fine, everything is good. Go back first, Iâll come look for you tomorrow.â
Ye Ling hugged Ye Mo after. It was the first time she called Ye Mo brother, but she didnât feel it to be weird at all. Perhaps she would no longer have to live that worrying life. At least, Ye Mo was so much better than she had thought.
She felt Ye Moâs hug was very firm and warm, giving her a sense of security from the bottom of her heart.
