"So?" Tang Rongrong looked confused. Zhou You sighed helplessly. With that kind of intelligence, she still wanted to pursue Su Mo?
"So what does this mean? Without Su Mo's permission, who can get close to him? Do you think just anyone has the chance to pester him relentlessly?"
That's all there is to say. Feng Qi's expression was rather unpleasant, and Tang Rongrong, recalling what had happened that afternoon, felt a chill in her heart, her disappointment undisguised.
Someone nearby smoothed things over, refilling Tang Rongrong's empty glass with wine and jokingly saying, "There are plenty of fish in the sea, Tang sister, what do you think of me?"
"You guys are all pretty good, want to consider it?"
Tang Rongrong was amused and started joking around with the people next to her. Bai Qiu raised his cup, Zhou You and he exchanged a glance, then lightly clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
When Jiang Jianhuan pursued Su Mo, it was a passionate affair. Later, they officially got together. Everyone thought that Su Mo would be the one who was indulged in this relationship, but unexpectedly, it was Jiang Jianhuan who was the one who was cherished in the end.
Su Mo remained aloof as ever, but when she was with Jiang Jianhuan, she would tie Jiang's shoelaces, bring her water at the school sports meet, run alongside her, help her review key points, stay up all night with her in the library for her English exam, and play guitar and sing for her in a corner of the playground...
Once, when Jiang Jianhuan was hosting a party, her dress had a problem. Su Mo hurriedly ran to several places to borrow a new dress and even ironed it for her in the dormitory before sending it over.
No one expected Su Mo to go this far. They all thought that Jiang Jianhuan would probably not be able to stand Su Mo's cold and sarcastic personality after only a few days together and would cry alone every few days. However, they later realized that when Su Mo was kind to people, she was truly incredibly kind.

Summer nights are quiet and refreshing, with the sounds of cicadas seemingly echoing through the mountains and forests. The stars in the sky are exceptionally bright, as if a Milky Way were hanging above them.
After leaving the bustling crowd, Su Mo quieted down, but held her hand tightly, clinging to her and occasionally playing with her fingers.
"Shall we go back?" Jiang Jianhuan asked, and Su Mo shook her head.
"Let's take a walk and sober up a bit."
When I first took a sip, the taste was very strong, and the aftereffects lasted for quite a while, making my head spin. Now, with the cool breeze blowing, I feel much better.
The scenery in the mountain villa is beautiful. The night breeze carries the fragrance of flowers. The steps are paved with bluestone slabs, the corridors are ingeniously designed, and dim yellow lights are lit everywhere in the grass and woods.
I don't know how long I wandered aimlessly, passing through flower bushes, ponds, and bamboo groves, until finally I saw a long stone bench under a banyan tree.
Feeling a bit tired, the two sat down to rest for a while. It was still early, so Jiang Jianhuan leaned on Su Mo's shoulder and looked at the bright stars in the sky.
"Su Mo, do you know the way back later?" she whispered, feeling that it was nice for the two of them to be alone together with nothing to do at the moment.
"I don't know, but I know the general direction. If I follow the road, we should be close." Su Mo closed his eyes, his head close to hers, his fingers gently stroking her from below.
"Oh," Jiang Jianhuan responded without saying anything more. After a while, Su Mo opened her eyes and looked at her.
Are you tired?
"It's alright," she said, tilting her head back. From this angle, one could just glimpse a patch of fair skin and two slender collarbones through the slightly oversized round neck of her white T-shirt.
Su Mo's eyes darkened, and she moved her leg slightly.
"Come sit down."
"Huh?" Jiang Jianhuan thought she had misheard.
Su Mo simply took matters into his own hands and pulled her onto his lap. "Let me kiss you for a while."
Jiang Jianhuan sat sideways, only able to hug his neck tightly. Su Mo lowered his head and kissed her neck for a while, then moved up again, taking her lips in his mouth and pursing them gently.
The night wind rustled through the leaves, and the surroundings were so quiet that there wasn't a sound of human voices. The view was blocked by the lush trees all around.
Jiang Jianhuan's collar had been ruffled by Su Mo, revealing her smooth, rounded shoulders.
He buried his head in his food, biting and licking, his tongue tracing over the flesh, wet and warm. Jiang Jianhuan felt a tickle and curled up to avoid him.
She liked to tug at his hair, snuggling into his arms and giggling that it tickled. Su Mo would laugh along, hug her tightly, and kiss her for a while, feeling satisfied.
“Let’s go back…” He played the guitar, his calloused fingertips brushing hard against her back, straightening her underwear, then taking it out and pulling up the collar that had slipped off her shoulders.
Finally, Su Mo patted Jiang Jianhuan on the head.
She jumped off his lap, and for a moment her legs went weak. Su Mo quickly supported her waist, his smile tinged with mischief, and he deliberately whispered in her ear in a low, husky voice.
"You can't even kiss for a little while?"
"Mmm." Jiang Jianhuan was completely captivated by his appearance at that moment, nestled obediently in his arms. Her voice was soft and gentle.
"You made me weak from your kisses."
In the sweltering summer heat, Su Mo gasped, pinched her waist hard, and warned her sternly.
"You are not allowed to seduce anyone."
"I didn't..." Jiang Jianhuan stared innocently, looking aggrieved.
After wandering around for a while, we finally found our way back to the place where we had barbecued before. The riverbank had been cleaned up and returned to its original state. Everyone else had also left.
Following the roadside signs, they found their accommodation. Perhaps because they had walked too much that day and had drunk some alcohol, the two of them fell asleep quickly after taking a shower, cuddling together.
The next day was another sunny day, and Su Mo took her to the large lake in the center of the resort to pick lotus seeds by boat.
The lake is very large, surrounded by boardwalks and railings. The lotus flowers are in full bloom, their pink and white blossoms standing tall and elegant, clustered together in large clusters, interspersed with emerald green lotus leaves. Willows droop along the shore, creating a beautiful scene.
The boat is the kind of covered boat found in the water towns of Jiangnan, with a section in the middle to block out the sun and the sides exposed, allowing you to sit on the side and play in the water.
The others didn't seem very interested in the project and went off to do their own thing. Only Su Mo and Jiang Jianhuan were on the boat, with an old man rowing at the stern.
The water below was very clear. Jiang Jianhuan took off his shoes and swam barefoot on it. It was cool and comfortable. He could vaguely see small fish swimming by below.
The small boat slowly sailed into the center of the lake, seemingly surrounded by lush lotus leaves and flowers. Even the abundant sunlight seemed to diminish, casting patches of shadow on the boat's surface.
Jiang Jianhuan reached out and easily grabbed a lotus flower. It looked even more beautiful when she looked at it closely, so she couldn't help but pick a few more and place them on the wooden plank boat beside her.
