Everyone sat in the living room together, Qiao Lan counted sixteen candles and lit them one by one.

Qiao Lan turned her head to look at Tan Mo, and the light of candlelight was reflected on the young boy's delicate face. The light brown eyes were more dazzling like amber.

Qiao Lan was slightly shocked by the beauty.

Chen Bo smiled and urged Tanmo to blow the candles, Qiao Lan recovered and hurriedly stopped, "Wait a minute, make a wish first, you don't need to say it."

Tan Mo watched Qiao Lan closed her eyes after a moment of silence, opened her eyes after a while and said faintly "Okay."

The birthday cake was made by Aunt Chen herself.

Tan Mo likes to eat sweets very much, but he didn't eat much today. Qiao Lan could see that Tan Mo was not in a good mood.She thought about it for a long time. From this morning to now, she thought about what could make Tan Mo feel so bad, but she didn't think of anything.

Qiao Lan sighed, grabbed the pillow next to her and put her chin on the pillow and sighed lightly.

Tan Mo came out of the bedroom, his eyes falling on Qiao Lan who didn't know what he was thinking.

The weather outside is getting colder, but the house is very warm. The girl just came out of the shower, wearing a comfortable off-white skirt, her long hair half-wet draped over her thin shoulders.She was sitting curled up on the sofa, holding a fluffy pillow in her arms, and her off-white skirt exposed her slender and white calves and bare feet.

Tan Mo shifted his gaze away, his gaze fell mechanically on the armrest of the sofa next to Qiao Lan, "It's late, why don't you sleep."

Qiao Lan returned to her senses, looked back at him and smiled, "I'll go to bed right away."

"Yeah," Tan Mo nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but Qiao Lan called him and said, "Tan Mo, you today...have you encountered something recently?"

Qiao Lan just thought about it for a long time. Tan Mo wasn't unhappy today. Such an unusual emotion has actually been going on for a long time.

Tan Mo quietly asked her for a moment, "Why do you ask?"

"Because you are in a bad mood recently."

She is really smart and sensitive, Tan Mo said in his heart that even Uncle Chen didn't notice, but Qiao Lan did.

He shook his head and said it was okay. After Qiao Lan went back to the room to sleep, he sat in the dark for a long time. He looked at the moon outside the window, at the position where Qiao Lan had just sat, and the pillow Qiao Lan had just held in his arms.

He stared at the pillow for a long time, then carefully brought the pillow over, hesitantly but silently held the pillow in his arms.

On Sunday, Qiao Lan had planned to take the bus back to school as usual. After all, she had to go to study late on Sunday night, and she didn't want to rain finely outside.

Uncle Chen glanced outside, turned his head and said to Qiao Lan, "Lan Lan, don't rush to go today. I'll take you to school in a while. Don't shirk it. The rain outside is so heavy, it won't be troublesome to send you a trip."

Speaking of this, Qiao Lan couldn't refuse it anyway. After thanking Uncle Chen, it was nearly four o'clock before she followed Uncle Chen out with her schoolbag.

The attached middle school will go to self-study late on Sunday night. Many students come to copy homework earlier. At this time, there are a lot of people at the school gate. After Qiao Lan got out of the car and entered the school, a few girls from a distant unknown class hesitated. Yu said, "Is that Qiao Lan just now?"

"Right", the girls took a look, and now there are not many people who don't know Qiao Lan in the school.

"Did she just get off that car...?"

The girl said uncertainly, "That car seems to be a car dedicated to picking up Tan Mo every day. It seems to have been picked up in the school post bar before. The price is more than eight figures..."

The few girls who didn't pay attention to this matter were shocked by the eight figures first, and then they found the point.

"So every day, I specialize in picking up Tan Mo's car. Did you send Qiao Lan over today?"

Everyone was silent.

They are not students in Class 18, but because Hao Ying chased Qiao Lan before, the classmates who don’t like gossip know a lot, and those who love gossip have picked up the boys who are close to Qiao Lan. , Some of them mentioned Tan Mo.

It is said that Qiao Lan’s classmates in the first year of high school said that Qiao Lan was at the same table with Tan Mo when he was in the first year of high school, and Tan Mo ignored Qiao Lan alone.

The relationship is good, but today I happened to see Uncle Chen sending Qiao Lan over, and this matter was a little unspeakable and intimate.

There is also unspeakable weirdness.

A boy only talks to one girl, and he gives the girl a topic every day and even sends it off early. Now he even picks up a car and changes to another person. It is almost certain that there is something wrong between the two.

But once it was changed to Tanmo, everyone would feel that it shouldn't be the case.

It shouldn't be like this, but it's too ambiguous, so I feel strange and uncomfortable even more.

"I heard from my friend that the relationship between her and Qiao Lan's roommate is getting better. Qiao Lan's roommate said that Qiao Lan's family conditions are particularly bad, so Qiao Lan deliberately hooked up Tan Mo. After all, Tan Mo's family is very rich. ."

"No, I don't think Qiao Lan is that kind of person. Or Hao Ying chased her, why didn't she agree? Hao Ying's family has no money?"

"Then why has she always been so good to Tan Mo, and now she still comes to school by Tan Mo's car?"

Qiao Lan didn't know what was going on. When halfway through the evening, Bai Yu poked her with a look on her face, and asked Qiao Lan in a low voice, "Lan Lan, how did you come to school today? "

Qiao Lan didn't tell anyone that she would usually go to Tan Mo's house on weekends. She subconsciously wanted to prevaricate, but she suddenly found something wrong with her words, "What's wrong?"

"Tieba, someone photographed you getting off the Tanmo's car. Now many people in the circle of friends are talking about this."

Qiao Lan was taken aback and took a look at Bai Yu's mobile phone. Someone posted a photo of her getting off Chen Bo's car today, saying that this car would never admit it wrong.

Now, as long as the names of Qiao Lan, Hao Ying, Chen Yaoyang, etc. are contaminated, all the gossip seems to explode in an instant. However, some people deliberately lead this way and jokingly said that the school flower rejected Hao Ying’s rose. However, Tan Mo's luxury car was not rejected.

A seemingly joking remark could not conceal the sarcasm towards Qiao Lan at all. Someone still followed suit after get off work, saying that Qiao Lan had been in touch with Tan Mo because he had money in Tan Mo's family.

Qiao Lan is getting better and better now, but there are more and more people who don't like her, especially girls, although many girls, Qiao Lan doesn't even know them.

Now these people hold a grievance tone for Hao Ying, saying that it is insulting Hao Ying to compare Hao Ying with a disabled person.

Qiao Lan's face was unprecedentedly ugly.

She didn’t know whether it was because of herself and Tan Mo, or the fact that the students in this school are always so annoying in this novel. She can’t figure out why so many people like to judge a stranger with this kind of gloating and lofty disgusting attitude. people.

What benefits can this bring to them?

Psychological comfort?

Qiao Lan couldn’t figure it out and didn’t want to think about it. Her first reaction was that she didn’t want Tan Mo to see these messy things. Qiao Lan returned her phone to Bai Yu and said to Bai Yu, “Don’t let Tan Mo see these things. Don’t mention it when Tan Mo is here."

But Qiao Lan had forgotten that Tan Mo's perception of the strange surroundings was many times more sensitive than she did not know.

He didn't know what happened, but he could feel the gaze cast on him by people who clearly didn't know him.

But no one around told him what happened.

It was another week of physical education. Everyone left the classroom. Tan Mo was sitting in the classroom and reading books. The girls outside who didn’t want to bask in the sun ran to the shadow next to the teaching building to hide from the sun and chat. Tan Mo was not in the mood to listen to those people. What to say, but suddenly heard Qiao Lan's name.

Tan Mo never dared to let Qiao Lan and others know his thoughts. He was afraid that his broken body would bring rumors to Qiao Lan, but Tan Mo never imagined that the rumors made him more An unacceptable way rushed into his ears.

"That's Qiao Lan in the distance? You said she really, like everyone said, was because the Tan Mo family was rich and deliberately approached Tan Mo?"

"I don't think so," someone said, "I think Qiao Lan is really good to Tan Mo."

"I really don't understand, how can Tan Mo compare to Hao Ying, is Qiao Lan blind?"

Tan Mo hadn't understood the meaning of this sentence, but the next sentence suddenly collapsed his sanity.

"You don't understand this," the girl laughed for a long time. "Have you heard of a word?"

"what?"

"Mu Can."
