Chapter 15 Chen Mo stands up for them and receives kisses from five girls!
The little deer turned her head, her ponytail swinging in an arc behind her head.
"Someone is bullying Coco's friend, we have to go help."
She said this in a matter-of-fact tone, as if "going over to help" was as simple as helping Chen Mo pick vegetables in the morning.
Chen Mo looked at the arrogant and reckless spirit in her bright eyes.
He glanced at the identical expressions on the faces of the other four girls and shook his head.
"Let's go, I'll take you with me."
The living room fell silent for a moment.
The five girls turned their heads at the same time, and all five pairs of eyes fell on Chen Mo's face, their pupils dilating simultaneously.
The little deer's eyes lit up first, as if someone had lit a lamp in her pupils.
"Brother Mo, are you going to stand up for us?"
Her voice rose, filled with undisguised surprise and excitement.
Xiao Rou's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth turned up, the curve of which was even wider than when she was eating.
"Very good!"
The little deer clapped its hands, the sound crisp and clear.
"With Brother Mo's help, we feel much more confident!"
Xiao Rou nodded in agreement, her ponytail swaying behind her head. Her eyes were full of admiration as she looked at Chen Mo, as if she were looking at a hero who had fallen from the sky.
Coco stood at the front, her eyes even redder than before.
She took two steps forward, stood on tiptoe, put her hands on Chen Mo's shoulders, and kissed him on the cheek again.
Soft and warm, with the unique elasticity of a young girl's lips and a hint of toothpaste mint flavor.
"Brother, you're so handsome."
Her voice was soft, close to Chen Mo's ear.
Xiao Rou's eyes widened instantly.
When Coco kissed Chen Mo last time, she had already held back in her heart.
It was at the kitchen doorway when Chen Mo said he would cook lunch for them for free, and Coco hugged him and kissed him.
She pouted, feeling as sour as if she had eaten a whole lemon, but she managed to hold it in.
After all, at that time she wasn't quite sure what her feelings for Chen Mo were, and she had no right to fight for them.
But it's different now.
Last night, that bed, that arm pressing down on her waist, those breaths intertwined in the darkness.
She is no longer the Xiao Rou of yesterday.
Xiao Rou's body reacted before her brain did.
She stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, put one hand on Chen Mo's shoulder, turned her head, and her lips landed precisely on Chen Mo's other cheek.
After the kiss, her face was so hot it could fry an egg, and her ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.
But she didn't move away. She just stood there, her chin slightly raised, looking at Coco with a "I can do it too" look in her eyes.
Coco paused for a moment, then slowly curled up her lips, revealing her two little tiger teeth, and winked at Xiaorou.
The little deer watched this scene, its eyes darting around.
"You two kissed, wouldn't I be missing out if I didn't?"
As she spoke, she hopped over, grabbed Chen Mo's arm with both hands, and stood on tiptoe to peck him near his chin.
Then she let go, took a step back with a grin, and her ponytail swayed proudly behind her head.
Sister Nan walked over expressionlessly.
Chen Mo thought she was going to say something serious, but instead she tiptoed and gently touched his cheek.
Then, without changing his expression, he stepped back, put his hands in his jeans pockets, and looked up at the ceiling as if nothing had happened.
Sweetie stood at the very edge, clutching the strap of her canvas bag. Her round eyes swept over her sisters, then glanced at Chen Mo, her face flushing slightly.
She didn't come over, but stood still and gently blew a kiss in Chen Mo's direction, her lips moving silently.
Then he lowered his head, his lips curved into a smile, and the base of his ears turned red.
Chen Mo stood there, receiving four kisses on his face, a peck on his chin, and a flying kiss.
Five girls' lip prints were stamped on his cheeks like seals.
He could smell the lingering sweetness of milk tea on their lips, the minty taste of toothpaste, and the warm aura emanating from beneath the girls' skin.
"Alright, alright, stop kissing."
Chen Mo raised his hand and wiped his face, leaving a faint lipstick mark on his finger.
"I'm going to wash my face. You guys wait for me downstairs."
The five girls smiled and responded, then turned and walked towards the door.
Chen Mo went into the bathroom, turned on the tap, and splashed a handful of cold water on his face.
The water flowed down his cheeks, carrying away the lipstick marks and the warmth of the girl's lips.
He looked up. The man in the mirror had water droplets on his face, his eyes were brighter than yesterday, and there was a smile on his lips that he himself didn't even notice.
Chen Mo took a tissue to wipe the water off his face and took a deep breath.
As they stepped out of their apartment building, five girls stood on the walkway in the community. The morning light streamed down from the rooftops to the east, casting long shadows of them.
Xiao Lu squatted on the ground tying her shoelaces, Xiao Rou held up her phone to look at a map, Sister Nan stood on the far side with her hands in her pockets, and Coco and Tian Tian huddled together talking about something.
They saw him come out and turned around at the same time, their five young faces glowing softly in the morning light.
"Brother Mo, over here."
Coco waved to Chen Mo, her voice clear and crisp.
Chen Mo walked over and pressed the car key.
The white car was parked in the parking space downstairs from the apartment building, its body gleaming faintly in the morning light.
A car costing 150,000 isn't great, but it's sufficient.
He opened the driver's side door and glanced back at the five girls.
"If we squeeze in, we should be able to sit down."
Little Deer opened the back door, ducked in, and sat down in the innermost seat.
Xiao Rou sat in the passenger seat.
Sister Nan was the third to go in and sat on the right.
Coco and Sweetie will be served last.
Chen Mo started the car, and the deep roar of the engine echoed in the car.
He shifted into reverse, glanced at the group of girls huddled together in the back seat through the rearview mirror, and his lips twitched slightly.
Send me your location.
Coco squatted in the aisle and held her phone to Chen Mo's ear.
The navigation prompts came from the speaker.
Chen Mo stepped on the gas, and the car drove out of the community gate, merging into the morning rush hour traffic.
Five girls in the back seat chattered away, their voices mingling together like a flock of birds released from a cage.
Xiao Lu peeked out from behind, resting her chin on the back of Chen Mo's seat, her ponytail hanging down, the ends of her hair brushing against Chen Mo's earlobe.
"Brother Mo, are you nervous?"
Her voice was soft, with a hint of teasing laughter.
Chen Mo gripped the steering wheel with one hand, his gaze fixed straight ahead.
"What's there to be nervous about?"
The deer chuckled twice, then shrank back into the back seat without replying.
Sweetie glanced at the girls in the back seat who were eager to get started, then at Chen Mo who was driving. A smile curved her lips, and a hint of relief appeared in her round eyes.
She was very scared.
A group of young women with several men were on the other side, outnumbered and powerful. What could the five girls possibly do there?
But Chen Mo sat in the driver's seat, his hands gripping the steering wheel. His profile was clearly defined in the morning light, his shoulders broad, and he exuded a reassuring aura.
Her fingers, which were gripping the strap of the canvas bag, slowly loosened.
Coco's phone rang. She glanced down at the screen, then looked up, her voice tense.
"We're almost there. Turn right at the next intersection."
Chen Mo turned the steering wheel and the car turned into a narrow alley.
The alley is lined with old residential buildings, with large patches of white paint peeling off the exterior walls, revealing the gray cement underneath.
Most of the storefronts on the first floor were closed, and the roller shutters were spray-painted with graffiti and "GG" in various colors.
At the end of the alley, there was an open space with several electric bikes and a dilapidated bread cart parked there.
There were about ten people standing in the middle of the open space.
Coco's expression changed; her lips pressed into a thin line, and her fingers clenched into fists.
Chen Mo parked the car at the alley entrance, opened the car door, and five girls filed out, standing in a row behind him.
