As the car sped towards Chen Mo, the crowd erupted in screams. Onlookers turned away, unable to bear the sight before them.
The sound of tires screeching against the pavement reverberated in everyone's hearts. It wasn't until the car had traveled over ten meters that it finally came to a halt, leaving the crowd in stunned silence.
The young woman, her eyes fixated on the empty road, suddenly collapsed, unconscious.
Xiao Yu, frozen in shock, watched as Chen Mo narrowly escaped being hit by the car. The scene replayed in her mind, and she couldn't tear her gaze away from the vacant road. Fear consumed her, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Chen Mo, Chen Mo!" Xiao Yu's voice trembled with panic and fear as she rushed forward.
As she ran onto the road, Xiao Yu felt a strong grip on her body, and she collided with a familiar figure. The familiar scent enveloped her, and she couldn't help but cry and laugh simultaneously, burying her head on his shoulder.
"Don't cry," Chen Mo comforted Xiao Yu gently.
"Don't cry," Chen Mo comforted Xiao Yu gently.
The surge of power within him had allowed him to exhibit remarkable speed and explosiveness, enabling him to escape the oncoming car. He recalled the moment when he felt the car brush past him, leaving him drenched in cold sweat.
When Chen Mo reappeared, the crowd erupted in cheers.
"Don't cry. Look, this little one is laughing at you," Chen Mo patted Xiao Yu's shoulder and held the baby in front of her.
The baby gazed back at Xiao Yu with innocent eyes, giggling. Witnessing the baby's joyous expression, Xiao Yu couldn't help but join in laughter.
"The gangster has been apprehended!"
Cheers erupted from the crowd. Several men had captured the criminal, restraining him with belts. He was thrown to the ground, his nose swollen, and the bag still hanging from his body.
"Is there a doctor here? This woman fainted," a voice called out, drawing everyone's attention to the baby's mother, who had collapsed.
"I'm a doctor," a middle-aged man with glasses stepped forward and began examining the woman. After a few moments, she regained consciousness.
"My child, my child," the woman's voice quivered with fear as she scanned her surroundings.
"Madam, here is your child." Chen Mo returned the baby to the woman and gently placed it in her arms.
Seeing her child safe and sound, the woman was overcome with a mix of emotions, crying and laughing at the same time.
The man who had intercepted the gangster noticed the arrival of the police and blended back into the crowd. Chen Mo, too, took Xiao Yu's hand and disappeared into the midst of the onlookers.
Once Chen Mo left, the crowd's attention shifted elsewhere.
Not far from the shopping street was the seaside. Xiao Yu helped Chen Mo tend to the scrapes on his cheeks and elbows, her touch gentle and careful.
"My poor handsome face, now it's all ugly," Chen Mo remarked playfully.
"You're still being narcissistic, I was scared to death just now," Xiao Yu said, expressing both relief and annoyance in her tone. Despite her words, her hands continued to treat his wounds with care.
"I didn't think much in the heat of the moment. If it were you, I wouldn't hesitate to rush in either," Chen Mo admitted.
Once the wounds were tended to, they fell into a comfortable silence. The wind blew gently, creating a subtle atmosphere. Chen Mo looked down at Xiao Yu, causing her face to flush with a rosy hue, and her eyes shifted slightly.
Chen Mo placed his hand on Xiao Yu's waist, and as he slowly lowered his head, the two drew closer.
Xiaoyu closed her eyes, as if bracing herself for what was about to happen. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly. She was aware of what would come next, and her body grew slightly tense.
Their lips met softly, their teeth gently parting, and the sensation of their tongues intertwining brought about a strange, tingling feeling. Xiaoyu's face grew even redder, and she pressed her body closer to Chen Mo.
The first kiss of over 20 years of longing was finally bestowed upon this somewhat narcissistic individual.
A sense of joy and bliss filled her body and mind, and Xiao Yu began to respond to Chen Mo's kiss, gradually finding her movements becoming natural, evolving from hesitance to ease.
The night sky provided a beautiful backdrop, with the river's reflection shimmering in the background. The singer's voice echoed along the riverside, and the river wind gently lifted Xiao Yu's skirt and hair. Cruise ships floated on the sea, their lights shimmering, while colorful neon lights along the beach painted a beautiful picture.
After a minute, Chen Mo pulled away. With this kiss, the barrier between their souls had been completely dissolved, opening up a new world to each other.
"Perfect, absolutely perfect,"
Before the two could fully recover from their daze, a surprising voice interrupted their warmth. They turned their heads to locate the source of the sound.
"It's perfect," exclaimed a photographer holding a camera as he excitedly approached them. "Hello, my name is Liang Zhihang, a photography enthusiast."
"Oh, hello. I'm Chen Mo," Chen Mo replied politely upon hearing the introduction.
"I came to the beach to find inspiration for my work. Luckily, I stumbled upon you and captured that incredible kiss just now. It's perfect. I want to use this set of photos to submit a draft and participate in the National Photo Contest. I hope to get your consent." Liang Zhihang explained with excitement as he opened the camera and showed Chen Mo the picture he had just taken.
Xiao Yu hadn't expected that their kiss had been captured on camera, and she shyly hid behind Chen Mo, wanting to find a place to hide. It was her first kiss, and she felt a mix of embarrassment and excitement.
"I just used a flash of light. I'm calling this set of photos 'Luminous'," Liang Zhihang excitedly explained, not noticing their discomfort.
The natural and intimate moments between the two couldn't fully be conveyed in a photo. The kiss displayed the love they felt for each other, perfectly reflecting the night view of the sea.
Seeing the photo, Chen Mo's eyes lit up. "It's beautiful," he said.
As Chen Mo finished speaking, he felt a slight pain in his waist. Xiaoyu had buried her face behind his back, her fingers pinching Chen Mo's waist.
Liang Zhihang was overjoyed, "This moment has inspired me to write poetry. It's the most perfect work among all my creations."
"If you send us the photo, we can agree to let you use it for the contest," Chen Mo suggested, examining the photo.
"Sure, I'll add you on WeChat. Once I sort out the photos, I'll send them to you," Liang Zhihang agreed readily, taking out his phone and adding Chen Mo on WeChat.
After Liang Zhihang left, Xiao Yu's face still flushed, and she shyly clung to Chen Mo.
"Why did you agree to let him take the photo for the contest?" Xiaoyu asked.
"He saw it as an artistic creation, a rare inspiration. Besides, he helped us capture that important moment in a photo. I might even use the photo as my phone wallpaper. Come on, let's continue." Chen Mo explained.
Xiaoyu shyly bowed his head and didn't resist. They continued their date, wandering around the beach and seawall, leaving the awkward moment behind. It was their first real date, a bit awkward but also perfect.
However, their happy time was cut short when Chen Mo checked his phone and noticed the time.
"What's wrong?" Xiaoyu asked.
"I have some bad news. It's already 11:30, and the dormitory is closed for the night. You can't go back tonight," Chen Mo said, laughing.
"I didn't realize how late it was." Xiao Yu grabbed the phone in disbelief. "What should we do?"
"We have two options: either stay in a hotel for the night or come to my rented place," Chen Mo said, smiling mischievously.
"You planned this?" Xiao Yu blushed and playfully pinched Chen Mo's waist.
"I swear I didn't plan this," Chen Mo exclaimed, holding up four fingers.
"Let's not go to a hotel then."
"Then come back with me."
Chen Mo took Xiao Yu, ride his bicycle, and hurried back to his rented house.
It was already past midnight when they arrived at Chen Mo's rented apartment. As they walked in, Xiao Yu immediately felt nervous. The realization that she would be staying with Chen Mo tonight made her heart race like a deer in front of its predator.
"I need to use the bathroom," Xiao Yu said, looking at Chen Mo's smile. She hurriedly made her way to the restroom.
Chen Mo observed Xiao Yu's retreat and smiled. Sitting in front of his computer, he began processing the photos sent by Liang Zhihang.
He couldn't deny that the photos were truly beautiful, and he was the protagonist in them.
After a while, Xiao Yu came out of the bathroom, blushing, and hesitated for a long time before finally climbing onto the bed and lying down. "I'll go to sleep now."
"Goodnight." Chen Mo replied.
He knew that tonight would be a difficult night for both of them.
Focusing back on the computer, Chen Mo forced himself to calm down and continued coding. The mobile phone system's code gradually grew longer in his hands.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yu lay in bed, unable to sleep. She tossed and turned, stealing glances at Chen Mo, who was fully focused on his coding. Thoughts of the events from tonight brought a shy and sweet smile to her lips.
She didn't know how much time had passed when Chen Mo, sitting in front of the computer, finally moved. Xiao Yu quickly shut her eyes, her heart pounding with anticipation.
Observing the closed-eyed Xiaoyu, Chen Mo's expression softened. He walked into the bathroom to freshen up before gently climbing onto the bed.
God had given him a choice, but he couldn't let impulse guide his actions. Acting impulsively could have serious consequences!
Xiao Yu's heart raced, and her body tensed, afraid to make a move. The room plunged into darkness as the lights went off, intensifying Xiao Yu's anxiety.
After a few minutes of silence, Chen Mo made no move, causing the tension to slowly dissipate. Xiao Yu hesitantly opened her eyes, preparing to approach Chen Mo, only to notice a glimmer of light reflected in his eyes, even in the darkness.
"So, you were awake."
Chen Mo smiled, and Xiao Yu smiled in return.
"You couldn't sleep?"
"No. With beauty like you sleeping beside me, how could I possibly sleep?"
"You have to sleep."
"At this moment, I'm reminded of a saying: A man and a woman sleep on the bed, the woman says not to touch her at night, or else he's a beast. The next day, the woman slaps the man, claiming he's not even as good as a beast."
"Don't think about that," Xiao Yu's cheeks turned hot. "When I'm ready, I'll give you all of me. Can you wait?"
"Really?"
"Really."
"You said it, I'll remember that." Chen Mo laughed.
"Do you want to know the last details? I'll tell you, it's all about my perks," Xiao Yu whispered into Chen Mo's ear and playfully kissed his cheek. Then she turned her face and pulled the quilt over herself.
"If you had told me you were wild before, I wouldn't have believed it. Now, I do," Chen Mo teased as he tickled Xiao Yu's waist, adjusting his posture, trying to stay calm, and closing his eyes.
Xiao Yu's body tensed, but when she noticed that Chen Mo didn't make any further moves, she relaxed and snuggled into Chen's arms, falling asleep with a smile.
The night passed without any incidents.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yu woke up and felt the warmth of Chen Mo's big hand on her waist, causing her face to turn slightly red. She had slept really well last night, and her previous insomnia had disappeared completely.
Feeling a sense of security in Chen Mo's embrace, she slowly took his hand and planted a gentle kiss on his face before getting up.
Chen Mo couldn't recall how he managed to fall asleep in the end. Opening his eyes, he noticed that Xiao Yu was no longer by his side, but a faint lingering fragrance remained on the pillow.
"Sneaky little one, aren't you?" Chen Mo smiled as he looked at the empty bed, reminiscing about Xiao Yu's shy demeanor. Just as he finished washing up, he saw Xiao Yu returning with breakfast.
"Come and eat," Xiao Yu said. "There's nothing in your kitchen, so I had to go out and buy breakfast."
"Did you wash up?" Chen Mo sat down beside Xiao Yu.
"Yes, I did."
"You're a catch! Girlfriend and breakfast delivery service all in one," Chen Mo joked as he received the porridge from Xiao Yu. He smiled and added, "You should come and live here and buy me breakfast every day."
"You want me to wash your stinky socks every day."
"So, you've discovered my secret. I'll make you do it more often in the future." Chen Mo chuckled.
"Do you dare?" Xiao Yu blushed. "Since you live here, you should learn to cook for yourself instead of always relying on takeout. I see pots in the kitchen that have never been touched."
"Would you come to help me cook?"
"Only in your dreams."
"Normally, I don't eat breakfast," Chen Mo finished the porridge and picked up the bread next to it. "During lunchtime, I either eat at the school cafeteria or outside, and I eat dinner outside after my workout."
The chopsticks in Xiao Yu's hand paused, and she didn't know what to think.
"I'll head back after breakfast. I have to review for the accounting exam, and I need to go back to the dormitory."
Thinking of what happened last night, Her cheeks felt a bit hot as she thought about what had happened last night. It was her first time not returning to the dormitory overnight, and now she was dating Chen Mo. She was sure Ruoxuan and the others would have misunderstood.
"Today, I'll take you out for the day."
"We already spent last night having fun. It's not a good idea to do too much and waste money. Let's go next week, take me to watch a movie."
"Sure, my lady."
"Teaser."
After breakfast, Chen Mo accompanied Xiao Yu back to the dormitory.
The video of Chen Mo rescuing the baby girl last night had been posted on the internet. However, due to the poor lighting, Chen Mo's appearance couldn't be clearly seen, so they hadn't faced any disturbances.
Leaving the university, Chen Mo went to the Bureau of Trade and Industry to register a nearby agency company.
With everything nearing completion, the antivirus program had been sold, and funds were now available. By registering the company, once they obtained the business license, the mobile phone system would be almost complete.
"Hello, sir, how may I assist you today?"
As Chen Mo entered the registration company, a female salesperson greeted him, saying, "Our company specializes in company registration, patents, and trademarks. We have professionals who will handle your case promptly and issue certificates quickly. We also offer services such as advance registered capital and registered address."
"I would like to register a company," Chen Mo said.
"Alright, sir, please have a seat," the female staff smiled and directed Chen Mo to a seat. "What type of company are you looking to register?"
"I want to register a sole proprietorship," Chen Mo replied.
"Registering as a sole proprietorship may cause some difficulties in obtaining future loans for the company. Are you sure about this?" the staff member asked.
"Yes, I'm sure," Chen Mo nodded. This company is his own, and he has no intention of sharing the ownership with anyone else.
"What is the registered capital for your company, sir? Our company can provide advance registered capital," the female staff smiled.
"The registered capital will be 50 million, and there's no need to advance it," Chen Mo stated.
Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, the female salesperson's eyes widened. Not having to pay for a registered capital of 50 million revealed a significant amount of information.
This handsome young man in front of her was undoubtedly wealthy. Being young, wealthy, and attractive, if she could secure him, she wouldn't have to work tirelessly at this company all day long.
The female salesperson's smile grew wider, and her movements became more graceful. Intentionally or unintentionally, she tried to establish a connection with Chen Mo.
"Sir, you'll need to prepare a few company names, preferably three to five. I can help you search if they are already taken. It will increase the chances of successful registration. Otherwise, if the company name is already occupied, it can be a bit troublesome."
Chen Mo remained unaffected by her subtle gestures.
"Okay."
Chen Mo thought for a moment and wrote down three names on the paper provided by the female salesperson. After entrusting the company registration to the agency, Chen Mo left.
Now, he could focus on coding the source of the mobile phone system with peace of mind. Once the mobile phone system was complete, his company would make a significant impact in the market.
However, the company still lacked personnel. Chen Mo was unsure how to manage it. It was a challenge he would need to address. He would have to look for a professional manager in the near future.
Upon returning to the dormitory, Chen Mo turned on the computer and continued typing the code.
