The two returned to the rental apartment, it was already past twelve o'clock. As soon as they entered, Xiao Yu's face turned red, and she walked into the bathroom with her bag and the clothes she had bought.

Not long after, the sound of water splashing came from the bathroom. Chen Mo, who was sitting in front of the computer, smiled wryly and sent the organized mobile phone appearance design and interface design materials to Zhao Min's email.

After sending the materials to Zhao Min, Chen Mo continued with the circuit design. After relaxing today, the memories of these circuits in his mind were even clearer.

He had obtained the design of the mobile phone motherboard from the Technology Library, and now he was organizing the circuits. Apart from deleting some hardware, he was almost copying it directly.

After a long time, the sound of footsteps in the room pulled him out of the circuit diagram.

As soon as he turned his head, Chen Mo's eyes widened, and he froze there.

Xiao Yu was wearing the spaghetti strap nightgown she had just bought, her long, straight legs exposed to the air. Her skin was like mutton-fat jade, fair with a hint of red. A faint fragrance floated in the air, inviting contemplation.

He hadn't expected Xiao Yu to appear before him wearing a nightgown and with her long hair still wet.

What did this mean?

In an instant, various thoughts popped into Chen Mo's mind.

Realizing he was thinking too much, Chen Mo came to his senses and fixed his gaze on Xiao Yu.

"Where's the hairdryer?"

Xiao Yu noticed Chen Mo's burning gaze, her cheeks flushed, and she slightly pulled at the hem of her nightgown. It was the first time she had dressed so boldly in front of a boy, and although this person was her boyfriend, she was still a little unaccustomed to it.

"It's in the wardrobe, I'll help you blow it dry."

Chen Mo was no longer in the mood to work on the phone's circuits. He turned off the computer, took out the hairdryer from the wardrobe, sat behind Xiao Yu, and blew her hair dry.

Xiao Yu didn't refuse, her face flushed as she sat on the sofa, letting Chen Mo blow her hair.

"You tricked me back again," Xiao Yu said.

"You're the scatterbrain, you forgot the time," Chen Mo laughed easily.

"You clearly knew the time and deliberately didn't tell me. I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but now I've decided to give it to you after a while," Xiao Yu wrinkled her nose slightly and snorted softly.

"Don't be like that, isn't it okay if I admit I was wrong?"

"Admitting you're wrong is useless."

A slight curve appeared at the corner of Xiao Yu's mouth as she enjoyed Chen Mo blowing her hair.

After her hair was dry, Xiao Yu didn't say a word, dodged Chen Mo's "devil's claws," and slipped into the room.

Chen Mo smiled slightly as he watched Xiao Yu's retreating figure. He took two pieces of clothing and walked into the bathroom. Not long after, he came out wearing a pair of large shorts. After drying his hair, he walked into the room.

At this moment, Xiao Yu's cheeks were bright red. After climbing onto the bed, she stared intently at the room door, completely sleepless.

The moment the room door opened, Xiao Yu stared at the doorway, stunned.

Chen Mo was shirtless, but his body lines were very good, and he even had abdominal muscles, which looked very comfortable.

Realizing she was thinking too much, Xiao Yu lightly spat, the redness on her face turning into a deep crimson, spreading all the way to her earlobes. When she came back to her senses, Chen Mo was already lying down beside her.

Seeing her stunned expression, Chen Mo smiled.

The light suddenly dimmed, and the room fell into darkness. Only the faint light from outside the window shone in, allowing them to see each other's faces up close.

The moment he hugged Xiao Yu, Chen Mo could clearly feel her body stiffen.

"Chen Mo, I have some bad news to tell you."

"What's wrong?"

"My period came."

"Then why were you playing so wildly? And blowing the sea breeze, and washing your hair? Why didn't you tell me? Are you uncomfortable now?"

Hearing Chen Mo's string of questions and slightly anxious voice, Xiao Yu's heart warmed, and she snuggled into his arms: "It's okay, it's not as serious as you think. I was sweating and blew the sea breeze, my hair was all salty, of course I had to wash it. It's okay once in a while, just don't use cold water."

"Then go to sleep quickly, you can't stay up late." Chen Mo held Xiao Yu, discarding any unnecessary thoughts.

There was no conversation throughout the night. Chen Mo didn't know how he finally fell asleep, but he slept very soundly.

When he woke up, Xiao Yu was no longer beside him.

Climbing out of bed, Chen Mo rubbed his head and dragged his "corpse" out of the room.

"You're finally awake. Hurry up and wash your face and eat breakfast, otherwise it'll get cold." As soon as he walked out of the room, Xiao Yu, who was sitting on the sofa watching a movie on his computer, looked up at him.

"Why didn't you sleep a little longer? Are you feeling okay?"

"I'm fine." Hearing Chen Mo's concerned tone, Xiao Yu smiled softly.

After washing up, Chen Mo sat on the sofa, enjoying his breakfast. Xiao Yu had already washed his clothes and simply cleaned the house.

This simple life was very relaxing. At this moment, Chen Mo was thinking about how to trick Xiao Yu into staying and living with him, so he wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing in the future.

"Chen Mo, I heard you rented a shop on Food Street?" Xiao Yu spoke, interrupting his wild thoughts.

"How did you know?"

"Tong Tong told me. That foodie often goes there to buy things to eat. She said she saw you there, but wasn't quite sure. I was preparing for the accountant exam the past two days, so I didn't ask you. Can you take me to see your shop today?"

"Okay."

After breakfast, Chen Mo took Xiao Yu and left the rental apartment.

As Chen Mo led Xiao Yu by the hand towards the shop front, the auntie from the grocery store next door looked Xiao Yu up and down.

"Young man, is this your girlfriend? She's so delicate and pretty, a good girl. Play fewer games in the future, work more, earn more money. Don't let such a good girl suffer with you."

"Uh?" Chen Mo looked at Xiao Yu, who was covering her mouth and chuckling, feeling a bit awkward. "I will."

"Come over and sit down sometime, have a chat." Seeing a customer arrive, the grocery store auntie left the two of them and immediately walked back into her store.

"Don't let such a good girl suffer with you," Xiao Yu teased.

Chen Mo looked at Xiao Yu, speechless.

"You play games here?"

In an instant, Xiao Yu was staring at Chen Mo with an unfriendly look.

"No, I sit in front of the computer coding all day, and she just thinks I'm playing games." Chen Mo shrugged, took out the key, and opened the shop door. "This is the shop I rented, good girl."

Looking at the equipment and computers inside the shop, Xiao Yu blinked. "You took over this repair shop? You're really doing phone repair?"

"Phone repair? Great! Boss, can you take a look for me? My phone suddenly went black just now and won't turn on. I need it urgently right now, can you fix it for me now?"

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, a girl stopped and shoved the phone in her hand into Chen Mo's.

Seeing the phone forcibly shoved into his hand, Chen Mo's mouth twitched as he looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu blinked, looking back at him.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and fix it for her. Don't you know how to do business when it comes?" Xiao Yu directly pushed Chen Mo to the workbench and made him sit down.

"Okay, repair."

Chen Mo smiled and began to disassemble the phone.

"How much will it cost to fix?" Suddenly remembering a question, the girl quickly asked.

The previous owner of this shop charged too much, and many people didn't dare to come. Now that it seemed to have a new owner, she was also worried it would be too expensive.

"There's no problem with the hardware of your phone, it should be a system issue. Just reinstalling the system will fix it. It's not expensive, five yuan." Chen Mo thought for a moment before speaking.

"Okay, thank you." The girl immediately agreed when she heard the price.

After getting the beautiful girl's reply, Chen Mo opened the computer and started flashing the phone.

Fifteen minutes later, after pressing the power button and seeing the phone screen light up, Chen Mo handed the phone back to the beautiful girl who was waiting anxiously nearby.

"Thank you." The beautiful girl who took the phone looked happy, took out five yuan, placed it on the table, and left in a hurry.

As soon as the beautiful girl left, Chen Mo turned his head to look for Xiao Yu.

At this moment, Xiao Yu was wiping dust off the machines, and the sweat on her forehead made Chen Mo's heart ache.

He wanted to tell Xiao Yu that this wasn't a phone repair shop. But if he told Xiao Yu now, it would definitely be awkward. After thinking about it, Chen Mo still didn't say anything.

"Leave it, I'll clean it."

"I'm done." Xiao Yu threw away the rag in her hand. "You work here first, I need to go back to the dorm."

After helping Chen Mo clean the shop, Xiao Yu said goodbye and left. After she left, Chen Mo focused his attention on the computer in his hand and began to organize the design of the phone motherboard.
