    Chapter 60: A Terrifying Confession

    From childhood until now, Jin Mo had basically never received a love letter, let alone have many people dare to confess to him face-to-face.

    It wasn’t that no one liked him; on the contrary, the number of men and women who liked him was countless.

    It’s just that none of them could break through the fishing net Jin Baiyan had surrounded Jin Mo with.

    As soon as anyone showed even the slightest inclination, Jin Baiyan’s cold arrows would be aimed at them!

    Over time, everyone knew in private that Jin Mo had a protective and icily cold older brother. Anyone who dared to covet Jin Mo would have to be prepared to be pierced by cold arrows!

    The key point was that Jin Mo was completely absorbed with his brother, and didn’t notice the treacherous undercurrents around him at all.

    Someone had once told him, “Jin Mo, your brother seems different towards you!”

    He would reply very proudly, “Of course, my brother is different towards me!”

    As a result, everyone tacitly agreed that these two brothers with no blood relation were the legendary childhood sweethearts!

    The only exception was Bāo Shūyǔ, a senior from college!

    That was the first time in Jin Mo’s twenty-odd years of life that someone had confessed to him face-to-face!

    He didn’t dislike Bao Shuyu, but he couldn’t say he liked him either!

    It was just that at the time, he thought Jin Baiyan was engaged and had a fiancée, having abandoned him.

    In order to make himself appear less pitiful, and to prove that he was also liked by someone, he accepted Bao Shuyu’s confession!

    Everyone else thought they had become boyfriends!

    In reality, he regretted it the next day. He apologized to Bao Shuyu and told him what he had been thinking at the time.

    Although Bao Shuyu was sad, he didn’t blame him.

    Bao Shuyu was two grades ahead of him, and after graduation, the two of them never contacted each other again.

    Jin Mo looked at Li Mengyao, who was preparing to continue her confession in front of his bed, and recalled how he had rejected Bao Shuyu back then.

    However, before he could figure it out, Li – Lonely Brave – Mengyao had already entered the next stage.

    “Jin-ge, I know, you’re from the big city and look down on me, this country girl!”

    As soon as Jin Mo heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly. How did this even involve regional discrimination!

    “But, aren’t you going to be here for a year? I’ve been watching you for several days. You don’t have a girlfriend. In that case, why don’t you try going out with me!”

    “Maybe you’ll like me!”

    “Even if you don’t like me, it doesn’t matter. I won’t pester you!”

    “I’ve thought about it. I’m a country girl, and I’m average-looking. If I could find a handsome guy like you, the child we have shouldn’t be too bad!”

    “I’ll take care of the child in the future and help my dad manage the agritainment!”

    “Anyway, I don’t like anyone else! Even if I never get married in my life, I think it’s fine!”

    “Jin-ge, isn’t that great!”

    “I’m still a virgin, and you don’t have a girlfriend. Can’t we try being together?”

    “Besides, you’re a grown man. You must have some needs, right!”

    Li Mengyao had been acting brave at first, but after saying this, she started to blush and become bashful.

    Jin Mo was so shocked by Li Mengyao’s words that his jaw almost dropped.

    Is this really something a rural girl would say?

    What did she mean by him having needs?

    Did he have to just find any girl just because he had needs?

    And children?

    What the hell was all this?

    Jin Mo’s forehead was practically pitch black.

    Li Mengyao squirmed bashfully for a while, then looked up at Jin Mo.

    Jin Mo’s mouth was so wide open it could fit an egg, and his eyes were bulging out.

    Oh my god, what was all this? It was too shocking!

    He suddenly realized that compared to the little girl in front of him, he was practically a blank sheet of paper!

    “No…”

    It took a long time for Jin Mo to close his mouth.

    “No, do you even know what you’re saying?” Jin Mo rubbed his head, not knowing how to respond to Li Mengyao’s words.

    “Yes!” Li Mengyao raised her face, her eyes wide, looking like she didn’t think she had said anything wrong.

    Jin Mo coughed and cleared his throat.

    “Um, little girl Li Mengyao!”

    “Here!” Li Mengyao replied with a smile.

    The black fog on Jin Mo’s forehead descended even further.

    “First of all, I want to correct your thinking. The premise for two people being together is that I like you and you like me! There’s no such thing as ‘trying it out’!”

    When Li Mengyao heard this, her round face furrowed, looking like she didn’t like what she was hearing.

    “Secondly, children aren’t born just by finding someone casually. They have to be the crystallization of their parents’ love. If you can’t give them a complete home, then don’t have them, otherwise, it’s irresponsible to them and irresponsible to yourself!”

    “Thirdly, although I don’t have a girlfriend, I have someone I like. I have to be loyal to him in body and mind!”

    Li Mengyao’s face instantly fell!

    Bai Xian, who was outside the door, stiffened all over, the hand holding the lunchbox showing bulging veins from the force.

    Jin Mo was still thinking as he spoke.

    “Finally, I want to tell you that I have no interest in you and would never be with you just because of certain needs! So, please don’t send me any more rib soup! Thank you!”

    After saying that, he felt like he had fought a tough battle and had a headache. He waved his hand at the dejected Li Mengyao.

    “Little girl, go back if you have nothing else to do!”

    Li Mengyao hung her head for a while, wiggling her toes, then suddenly raised her head.

    “No matter what you say, I won’t give up! I’ll be back!”

    After saying that, she placed the thermos on the bedside and rushed out like the wind.

    Jin Mo was once again shocked by Li Mengyao’s words!

    Did this little girl get the essence of Grey Wolf?

    Li Mengyao, who had rushed out, saw Bai Xian standing at the door. Her footsteps paused, but she didn’t say anything and continued to rush forward.

    Bai Xian stood at the door, in an extremely bad mood, so bad that he felt an urge to scream madly.

    Until Jin Mo’s voice came from the room.

    After Li Mengyao left, Jin Mo took out his phone to check the time.

    Five minutes had passed since Bai Xian had told him it would be an hour, and he was a little worried, muttering to himself.

    “Why hasn’t Bai Xian arrived yet? Could he have really burned his hand while cooking?”

    “No, I have to call Xiao Feiwu to go back and check!”

    Just as he was about to dial, he saw Bai Xian walking in with the lunchbox.

    The dark clouds that Li Mengyao had stirred up in Jin Mo’s mind instantly dissipated.

    “Bai Xian!” Jin Mo shouted cheerfully at Bai Xian.

    However, Bai Xian looked unhappy, his eyes completely lacking the sparkle they had in the morning!

    Jin Mo tugged at Bai Xian’s clothes and shook him.

    “Bai Xian, why are you unhappy?”

    Bai Xian put down the lunchbox, turned to look at Jin Mo, his eyes dark and unclear.

    Jin Mo was startled by Bai Xian’s eyes.

    “What’s wrong? Who made you unhappy! Tell me, and I’ll find someone to beat him up!” Jin Mo said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

    Bai Xian stared at Jin Mo for a while, then turned his head, pulled up the over-bed table, and took out the lunchbox, placing the dishes one by one in front of Jin Mo.

    He didn’t say a word the whole time.

    Jin Mo looked at the dishes in front of him and smiled.

    No need to say, they were all his favorites!

    Bai Xian handed the chopsticks to Jin Mo, picked up his bowl, and started eating.

    Jin Mo sensed Bai Xian’s low mood and wondered how to pry open Bai Xian’s mouth and make him obediently tell him what was wrong.

    He had quite a bit of experience with that!

    Jin Baiyan was a tight-lipped person who kept all his unhappiness to himself. Every time, he had to coax and wheedle him to get even a little bit out of him.

    Now, facing the unhappy Bai Xian, Jin Mo once again felt like he was dealing with his brother!

    He slightly raised his head and looked at Bai Xian, thinking, *Dealing with my brother is difficult, but how could I fail to deal with you, this blank sheet of paper!*

    *No way!*
