The most obvious difference after moving out of school was that the two of them spent more time together than before.

However, Tan Mo felt that they could spend more time together.

He had both the conditions and the ability to satisfy all of Qiao Lan's needs outside of class. The library, study room, gym, Tan Mo could all be prepared at home. All activities could be completed by him.

Tan Mo had done a very clear calculation of this. Since they separated at eight o 'clock in the morning and returned home at seven o' clock in the evening, excluding the time they had lunch together, they spent sixteen hours together out of the twenty-four hours.

It was exactly two thirds of the day. Tan Mo was quite satisfied with this time period.

He was satisfied yesterday, but not today, because the preparation phase of Qiao Lan's first club activity was finally over. It was now the discussion phase.

At this stage, they couldn't be busy with their own things.

After class in the afternoon, Qiao Lan went to the club. Tan Mo sat in the back seat expressionlessly. Uncle Chen glanced at Tan Mo from the rearview mirror. After all, he had watched Tan Mo grow up. Uncle Chen could roughly guess why Tan Mo was unhappy.

However, unlike Tan Mo, Uncle Chen didn't think that Qiao Lan's behavior was wrong. After all, it was a school activity. He thought carefully about whether he should find something to divert Tan Mo's attention.

"Mo Mo," Uncle Chen thought for a while and said, "You're an adult now and can get a driver's license. Why don't you learn how to drive when you're free? When you get a car, it'll be more convenient for you and Lan Lan to go out."

"Okay," Tan Mo replied without much interest. After a few seconds, he suddenly became energetic.

"Learn," Tan Mo said, "I'll learn tomorrow."

Uncle Chen: "…???"

"Remember to inform me when you find someone good."

Uncle Chen: "…" Why did he feel like he was being a hindrance?

The next day, Uncle Chen contacted a coach for Tan Mo. It was much more expensive than a normal driving school. It could accommodate Tan Mo's time for classes. Moreover, the coach's temper wouldn't be as bad as a normal coach.

The coach called Tan Mo and asked him about the specific time he could practice driving every day.

Tan Mo took his and Qiao Lan's timetable and compared it with each other. Then, he created a timetable and sent it to the coach.

Recently, Qiao Lan had to go to the club every day. If it was short, it would take twenty to thirty minutes. If it was long, it would take one or two hours. There was a night market outside the school. Many students liked to circle back to the dormitory from the night market outside the school after finishing their work. Qiao Lan was packing up when a senior said that she wanted to go, so she asked Qiao Lan if she wanted to go.

Qiao Lan shook his head. "No, I have something to do."

Uncle Chen had just texted her to ask when she would be done. Qiao Lan gave him an approximate time. It had already been a few minutes, which meant that Uncle Chen had been waiting for quite some time.

Although it was usually Uncle Chen and Tan Mo who came to pick her up, it was always Tan Mo who sent her WeChat messages. Why was it Uncle Chen today?

Qiao Lan was a little confused. She said goodbye to everyone and went downstairs.

The senior didn't say anything, as if it was really just a casual question. After asking Qiao Lan, she asked the others. Other than those who were going to go to the library, seven or eight people went to the night market together.

Qiao Lan came downstairs and walked out of the school gate. He saw Uncle Chen's familiar black car. After climbing into the car, he realized that Tan Mo wasn't there.

"Uncle Chen, where's Mo Mo?"

"He went to learn how to drive." Uncle Chen thought of what Tan Mo had told him and sighed silently.

"I wanted you to learn how to drive last time, but he's not an adult yet. I saw that he was quite free at night recently, so I sent him to learn how to drive. He's a boy after all. This is a necessary skill."

"Yes." Qiao Lan felt that it was reasonable and nodded.

Although he already had a driver's license, to be honest, Qiao Lan didn't dare to go on the road. It would be even better if Tan Mo learned how to drive. After all, he couldn't trouble Uncle Chen so much. An old man like him should rest more.

"Let's go back and eat first. Your aunt left some food for you. When it's about time, I'll go to the driving school to pick you up."

"Okay." Qiao Lan nodded. After that, she added, "I'll go too."

Uncle Chen thought of what Tan Mo had told him before and looked at Qiao Lan again. He smiled so much that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more obvious.

Tan Mo finished at 9: 30. Qiao Lan and Uncle Chen went there a few minutes earlier and watched for a while as Tan Mo learned how to drive.

Smart people were smart in everything they did. Tan Mo learned very quickly. However, when it was over, Qiao Lan heard the coach and Uncle Chen whispering to each other. They were saying that this kid was so boring. He had been learning how to drive for more than two hours, and he didn't say a word except for "Okay."

Uncle Chen laughed and said that this was Tan Mo's personality.

After saying goodbye to the coach and returning to Uncle Chen's car, Tan Mo, who had been expressionless the entire time, wrapped his arms around Qiao Lan's waist and rubbed his chin on Qiao Lan's shoulder as he acted coquettishly. He sounded as though he had been wronged.

Tan Mo rubbed against Qiao Lan and said softly, probably because he was afraid that Uncle Chen would hear him, "Driving practice is so boring. I don't even know what to say to the coach."

Qiao Lan thought of what the coach had said just now. She smiled and touched Tan Mo's ear, "Why didn't you tell me that you wanted to learn how to drive?"

"Uncle Chen suddenly suggested it. He found someone he knew, and the process was very fast. I just happened to be able to go today, so I didn't have time to tell you," Tan Mo said, "It's really boring. Lan Lan, can you practice with me?"

"Even if you didn't tell me, I would still do it," Qiao Lan said. Just now, when she heard the coach say that Tan Mo was too boring, Qiao Lan wondered if she should practice with Tan Mo. When she was learning how to drive, she had always been with him. If Tan Mo didn't accompany her, it would be quite boring too.

Tan Mo heard a satisfactory answer and deliberately asked Qiao Lan, "Then what about your club's activities?"

"Actually, there's no important work. Everyone just sits together and talks," Qiao Lan said. Because it was the first activity, it was the simplest social survey. Recently, everyone sat together and expressed their opinions. Qiao Lan had already spoken. The other two members of the club who had spoken didn't come these two days. Ji Su and the others didn't seem to say anything either.

Therefore, it wasn't a big problem.

Besides, Tan Mo practiced at around 7 pm. Normally, classes would end at 5: 20 pm, so he could make it no matter what.

Tan Mo was happy in his heart, but he still nodded with a serious face, "That's good."

Qiao Lan was amused by his expression. She pinched Tan Mo's face and laughed, "Smile if you're happy. Do you think I can't tell when you're acting like this?"

"You can tell even when I'm acting like this. My Lan Lan is so smart," Tan Mo went along with the flow and kissed Qiao Lan's face. He didn't care about Uncle Chen who was sitting in front of him and taking the blame for him at all.

Uncle Chen shook his head helplessly. Sigh, the child had grown up. He already knew how to play tricks.

In the next few days, if it was too late, Qiao Lan wouldn't go. If it was early, she would go to the club. If she didn't have any important arrangements, she would leave early.

Because it was dinner time in the afternoon, the senior asked her from time to time if she wanted to have dinner together. Qiao Lan smiled and said that she wouldn't be going. Her boyfriend was waiting downstairs.

The senior smiled and urged her to go quickly. After Qiao Lan left, a girl couldn't help but say to the senior who called Qiao Lan, "She doesn't go every time. Senior, why do you keep calling her?"

"I'm just asking. We're all in the same club," Pei Beijia glanced at Ji Su from the corner of her eyes and smiled, "What do you want to eat today?"

Everyone asked one after another. Roman was in a bad mood. She was listless. She didn't know why, but she felt that the senior who had always been nice to her seemed to be treating her coldly recently.

Although he wasn't very enthusiastic before, he would still greet her and smile when he saw her. He also answered her questions patiently. However, Roman still felt that something was wrong.

She held her phone in a daze. When she was done, she pricked up her ears and heard a girl beside her mention Qiao Lan's name.

After all, they used to live in the same dormitory for a long time. Roman subconsciously listened to what the two girls were saying. In the end, she heard one of the girls say that Qiao Lan was too lonely.

Qiao Lan was indeed very lonely compared to everyone else.

However, she was also very reasonable. She didn't live in the dormitory and had a boyfriend. It was normal for her not to socialize with others. Roman thought to herself, 'Whether she's lonely or not has nothing to do with you.'

In the end, the next moment, another girl agreed and said that was indeed the case. She also said that although she knew that Qiao Lan was in a relationship, no one would be in a relationship like this. Only when it came to matters related to boyfriends, she would prioritize her boyfriends and almost all the club activities were canceled.

"So you're not the only one who thinks so," the girl said in surprise, "It's as if she's afraid that someone will steal her boyfriend away."

After she said that, someone beside her heard and laughed, "After all, he's the school hunk. He's handsome, has a good family background, and is very capable. Naturally, there are many people who covet him. It's understandable that they're keeping a close eye on him …"

Roman was originally in a bad mood, but when she heard this, she suddenly became angry.

Roman admitted that she was a little jealous of Qiao Lan. After all, she was so beautiful and outstanding. At first, she couldn't help but be envious. Other than that, she was also envious of the relationship between Qiao Lan and Tan Mo.

When Roman was still living in the dormitory, she liked to gossip about Qiao Lan and Tan Mo. Liu Cancan often scolded her because of this, but Roman just liked to ask because Qiao Lan and Tan Mo were really sweet as a couple.

She couldn't tell what was different, but she just felt that there was no space between the two of them. Before this, Roman had never thought that a relationship could be so unreserved like this.

Roman had grown up, and she also hoped to meet someone she liked who also liked her, and to have a sweet love between the two of them. Before she met Qiao Lan, she didn't have a specific plan for the kind of love she yearned for. It wasn't until she met Qiao Lan and Tan Mo that she realized that this was the kind of relationship she yearned for the most.

Maybe it wasn't to defend Qiao Lan, but the girl's words just now destroyed the beautiful and yearning thing in Roman's heart. In addition, Roman was already in a bad mood, so she argued with the two girls on the spot.

"She's eating with her boyfriend, and you're saying that she's too lonely and doesn't fit in with the group. Isn't that girl in the club also in a relationship? Why don't you say that she's too lonely?

What did Qiao Lan do to you? Why are you talking behind her back? If you have the ability, say it in front of her face before Qiao Lan leaves! "

The two girls who had spoken earlier were Qiao Lan and Roman's classmates. Usually, they would greet and chat with each other when they saw each other, so they didn't expect Roman to quarrel with them because of Qiao Lan.

It was normal for people to gossip behind people's backs. However, when Roman said it, it sounded strange, especially when the seniors next to them also looked over.

Ji Su heard the two words "Qiao Lan" and turned his head. Perhaps he didn't expect Roman to suddenly speak up for Qiao Lan, so he looked at Roman and the other two girls with interest.

The two girls were a little embarrassed. "What does Qiao Lan have to do with you? We didn't say anything. We just said that Qiao Lan is too lonely. She definitely won't be able to get along with others when she leaves school to work in the future …"

"Qiao Lan is just beautiful. She was in a relationship in high school and scored 720 in the college entrance examination. There's nothing about her that's not good enough for Tan Mo. What's there to be concerned about? She's already met his parents and is waiting for the legal age to get married. You don't have to worry about her. She wears clothes that cost thousands or tens of thousands, and she can buy branded cosmetics as she pleases.
