Bad News

Screams erupted from the crowd as they saw Chen Mo about to be hit by the car. Onlookers quickly covered their eyes, unable to watch.

The screech of tires against the pavement echoed in everyone's hearts. The car finally stopped more than ten meters away, and the crowd fell into a deathly silence.

The young woman stared blankly at the empty road, her eyes rolling back before she fainted onto the ground.

Xiao Yu was stunned. The scene of Chen Mo jumping out replayed in her mind. Looking at the silent, empty road, her face was filled with fear, and tears streamed down uncontrollably.

"Chen Mo, Chen Mo."

Xiao Yu's voice was filled with panic and fear as she rushed out recklessly.

As soon as she reached the road, Xiao Yu felt her body tighten as she crashed into an embrace. The familiar scent that filled her nostrils made Xiao Yu freeze. Looking up and seeing the familiar face, her tears wouldn't stop. She cried and laughed at the same time, finally burying her head on his shoulder.

"Don't cry," Chen Mo comforted Xiao Yu.

The potential development had given him powerful explosive force and speed. Just now, in the nick of time, he had managed to dodge the car using that burst of power. He had felt the car brush past him and was covered in a cold sweat.

Seeing Chen Mo appear, the crowd erupted in cheers.

"Don't cry, look, this little guy is laughing at you." Chen Mo patted Xiao Yu's shoulder and placed the baby in his arms in front of her.

The baby was currently opening its pure eyes and smiling at Xiao Yu. Seeing the baby's happy expression, Xiao Yu also broke into a smile through her tears.

"The thug has been caught!"

A cheer rang out from the crowd. Several men carried a person and threw him back onto the ground. His hands and feet were tied with belts, and he was bruised and swollen. The bag was still hanging on him.

"This woman has fainted! Is there a doctor here?"

A shout attracted everyone's attention. At this moment, the baby's mother had fallen to the ground.

"I am."

A middle-aged man wearing glasses walked out and pressed a few times on the woman's philtrum. Before long, the woman woke up.

"My child, my child." The woman's voice was filled with fear as she looked around.

"Madam, your child." Chen Mo carried the baby back to the woman and placed it in her arms.

Seeing her child unharmed, the woman hugged him tightly, crying and laughing.

Amidst the applause of the crowd, a police car stopped by the roadside. From the incident's start to its end, it hadn't taken more than five minutes.

The man who had intercepted the thug saw the police arrive, turned around, and disappeared into the crowd. Chen Mo also took Xiao Yu and disappeared into the crowd.

However, as Chen Mo left, many eyes in the crowd were now focused on them.

Not far from the shopping street was the seaside. Xiao Yu helped Chen Mo treat the scrapes on his cheek and elbow, her movements very gentle.

"My handsome face is going to turn ugly."

"You're still narcissistic. You almost scared me to death just now." Xiao Yu was slightly angry, her tone reproachful, but her movements remained careful.

"My mind just got hot, I didn't think too much. If that had been you, I would have rushed forward without hesitation."

"Are you planning to wait eighteen years for me?"

"I think you've become more humorous."

After treating the wounds, both fell silent. The river breeze blew, making the atmosphere subtle. Chen Mo lowered his head to look at her, and Xiao Yu's cheeks immediately turned red, her gaze somewhat evasive.

Chen Mo put his arm around Xiao Yu's waist and slowly lowered his head.

Xiao Yu closed her eyes tightly, as if resigned to her fate, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. She knew what was about to happen, and her body was a little tense.

Her first kiss, treasured for over twenty years, was finally given to this somewhat narcissistic scoundrel.

A feeling of joy and happiness filled her body and mind.

The reflection of the night and lights, the singing of the wandering musician by the river echoing the sound of the flowing water, the river breeze blowing Xiao Yu's skirt and hair, lifting them slightly. The pleasure boats on the sea, the shimmering waves, and the colorful neon lights by the sea formed a beautiful picture.

After a minute, Chen Mo finally released Xiao Yu. The distance between their hearts was completely opened to each other with this kiss.

"Perfect, perfect, absolutely perfect."

Before they could fully recover, a voice of exclamation interrupted their tender moment. Both looked surprised, turning towards the source of the sound.

"Absolutely perfect." A photographer holding a camera walked towards them excitedly. "Hello, my name is Liang Zhihang, and I'm a photography enthusiast."

"Uh? Hello, my name is Chen Mo." Seeing the other party introduce himself, Chen Mo politely replied.

"I came to the seaside to find inspiration for my work and happened to meet you. I captured the moment you just kissed. It's too perfect. I plan to submit this set of photos for the National Photography Competition. I hope to get your permission."

Liang Zhihang excitedly opened the camera in his hand and showed the photos he had just taken to Chen Mo.

Xiao Yu hadn't expected to be photographed while kissing just now. She shyly hid behind Chen Mo, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. This was her first kiss.

"I had a flash of inspiration just now. This set of photos will be called 'Night Light'."

Liang Zhihang's face was excited, completely oblivious to their unusual reaction.

Their natural movements just now, and that indescribable feeling, were something that posed shots could never achieve. That kiss perfectly expressed all their love, and when combined with the night view of the sea, it was simply perfect.

Seeing the photos, Chen Mo's eyes lit up. They were indeed very beautiful.

"They are quite beautiful," Chen Mo said.

As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, he felt a slight pain in his waist. Xiao Yu had already buried her face in his back, her fingers pinching the flesh on his waist.

Liang Zhihang's face was beaming. "This moment instantly gave me inspiration to write poetry."

This was the most perfect work among all his creations.

"Send us the photos, and we can agree to let you use them for the competition," Chen Mo said, looking at the photos.

"Okay, I'll add you on WeChat and send them to you after I organize them," Liang Zhihang immediately agreed, taking out his phone to add Chen Mo's WeChat.

After Liang Zhihang left, Xiao Yu's face was still flushed, and she nestled against Chen Mo.

"Why did you agree to let him use the photos for the competition?"

"That's his artistic creation, a rare moment of inspiration. Besides, he helped us capture that important moment in a photo. I'll use that photo as my phone wallpaper later. Come on, let's do it again."

Xiao Yu lowered her head shyly, not resisting.

The two of them looked at the beautiful scenery by the sea and strolled along the seawall. What had just happened was long forgotten by both of them. This was their first real date; it had a slight flaw, but that only made it seem more perfect.

Happy times are short. When Chen Mo took out his phone to check the time again, his expression turned strange.

"What's wrong?"

"I have to tell you some bad news. It's already eleven-thirty, the dorm is closed, you can't go back tonight," Chen Mo said with a smile.

"I feel like it hasn't been that long," Xiao Yu snatched the phone in disbelief. "What should we do then?"

"Two choices, spend the night at a hotel, or go to my rented place," Chen Mo laughed heartily.

"You did that on purpose," Xiao Yu blushed and pinched the flesh on Chen Mo's waist.

"I swear, absolutely not," Chen Mo gasped, holding up four fingers.

"Not going to a hotel."

"Then come back with me."

Chen Mo took Xiao Yu, found a bicycle, and hurried back to his rented place.
