Play along

"Let's go?" Yu Qiao asked absentmindedly just like what he did when he was not paying attention to Mo Che.

Mo Lihua chuckled, "What? You don't want to go to school? Father will bring us there," she explained before frowning when she noticed that something is wrong with his face being pale.

"Not feeling well?" She asked as she stepped to stand in front of him, her hand touching his forehead. "Eh? You are so warm Brother Qiao! You have a fever!" Mo Lihua exclaimed.

Fever? More like horny, Yu Qiao lips twitch slightly as he cannot laugh at his current predicament. He is just lucky that the shirt that Mo Che's presence is dampening to his impending arousal.

That would be in a different case if Mo Lihua continues to stay close to him. Touching him even.

"No fever. I'm fine. Just hangover." Yu Qiao murmured, as he gently removed Mo Lihua's hand that is still on his forehead.

"Oh? Are you sure?"

"Yes. Positive. Let's go." Yu Qiao affirmed. The faster he is away from Mo Lihua the better.

Mo Lihua stared at Yu Qiao suspiciously before responding, "Ok… Father lets go."

The ride to the University may take a while. Mo Lihua is sitting between Mo Che and Yu Qiao.

He is close enough to her for him to be able to smell her lavender scent, add to their legs occasional friction, Yu Qiao is at his limit and he made sure his backpack is on his lap ready to hide any future inconvenience on his pants.

At that moment, his mind is mostly occupied by her presence.

Damn it! Someone stop me! Yu Qiao begged internally. Her grey hoodie paired with washed jeans should not make his body react!

Yu Qiao then gathered all his strength to be able to focus on the father and daughter conversation. If not, he may not be able to control himself and end up continuing to think about Mo Lihua indecently.

Aside from Mo Che, checking on Lihua's studies, his godfather did not mention the incident the night before. Does godfather really not know about the boyfriend? Yu Qiao asked himself.

He remembers that he gave Mo Lihua until that day to decide on what to do with her relationship.

Yu Qiao greatly hopes that she gave up because, with the way he is now, it will be too difficult to be in close contact with her.

If not, he may be always in a violent mode and breaks her boyfriend's handsome face.

For him, if a man is willing to be hidden despite the clear rule that the woman should not be dating, it is not sincere at all. Mo Lihua is not entirely forbidden to have a boyfriend in her life.

Mo Che just wants her to wait until after graduation.

If you are a man, regardless of your shortcomings, you should respect the wishes family of the woman that you're dating. Anyway, it is not going to take forever before the relationship is accepted by the family.

We against the world are just crap in Yu Qiao's perspective.

Well, all this is just Yu Qiao own interpretation to how Mo Che shows his love to Mo Lihua. He is underestimating a father's protectiveness over his daughter.

However, this is going to be understood clearly, when Yu Qiao prepared a special shotgun for his daughter's admirer's years later...

"Father, Brother Qiao will bring me home later. We will be going somewhere for research," Mo Lihua informed that broke to Yu Qiao's line of thought. "Right?"

Yu Qiao brows wrinkled in confusion, "Wha-Ouch!" He is supposed to ask what she is talking about but was pinched by Mo Lihua on the waist discreetly.

"Brother Qiao! What happened? Where does it hurt?" She asked frantically as she pretends to help him.

"You…" Yu Qiao started, but stopped when Mo Lihua moved so close to him and whispered silently, Please, please play along,

Her voice was so soft and he very sure that the only who heard it is him. Yu Qiao also understood that with Mo Lihua's request it means that she will continue with her boyfriend charade!

Yu Qiao's face turned black, as he gritted his teeth. Play along? Ok, we can play this game then.
