As Chen Mo stood staring blankly at the balcony, the woman hanging clothes couldn't help but mutter, "This black-skinned guy is really despicable. He's not even that old, yet he dares to look at girls hanging their clothes. What a pervert!"

Although there was some distance between them, the woman immediately noticed Chen Mo's dark skin and casually gave him the nickname "Black Skin."

As she spoke, she took down the underwear she had just hung up and put it in the basin at her feet. Then she said to the woman in the wheelchair beside her, "Sis, we need to be more careful in the future. We can't just hang our underwear and underpants out to dry; there are all kinds of people these days!"

The woman in the wheelchair also saw Chen Mo, but she could sense that the dark-skinned boy wasn't looking at the underwear her sister was hanging. His expression was somewhat dazed, as if he was deep in thought.

The woman in the wheelchair then said, "Little sister, he doesn't seem to be looking at the clothes you're hanging. He's just lost in thought. He didn't mean to, so you don't need to slander him like that, do you?"

These two sisters were Li Ruxiang and Li Ran Zhu. They had a reason for being in Tian Tian's villa.

Li Ruxiang and Li Ran Zhu's father, Li Qingsong, was originally from the capital. Later, in response to the national call, he went to the suburbs of Linjiang as part of the "educated youth sent to the countryside" movement, transforming from a student to a farmer.

At that time, Li Qingsong was only twenty-two years old. Tian Tian's father, Tian Guorong, was his classmate, and they were assigned to the same village, where they spent an unforgettable period of their lives.

Later, Li Qingsong fell in love with and married Luo Hongying, the mother of the Li sisters. After the "educated youth sent to the countryside" movement ended, he did not return to the capital but settled in Linjiang.

As for why Li Qingsong did not return to the capital, there was an important reason: he had no relatives left. During that turbulent period, his parents were persecuted to death for being labeled with a big hat.

Li Qingsong was the only child in the Li family. His parents were old revolutionaries, and the years of war had long since scattered the family's relatives. With his parents and relatives gone, Li Qingsong naturally did not want to return to that place of sorrow.

Unlike Li Qingsong, Tian Guorong was relatively fortunate. His parents were also old revolutionaries, and although they suffered unjust criticism during the turmoil, they managed to survive the difficult times and were still alive.

After the turmoil ended, Tian Guorong returned to the capital. He and Li Qingsong had formed a deep friendship during those years, and they supported each other in business, achieving great success. They would often get together, have a drink, and reminisce about the past. Over the years, their friendship had never faded.

The Li sisters had met Tian Tian when they were very young, but as Li Ruxiang became increasingly self-isolated due to her disability, the opportunities for the Li sisters to meet Tian Tian became fewer and fewer. It had been ten years since their last meeting, and their relationship was not particularly close.

Last month, Li Ran Zhu said she wanted to bring her sister to study, and Li Qingsong supported her. When he heard that they were coming to Linhai University, he remembered that Tian Guorong had mentioned that his daughter was teaching there. So he called Tian Guorong and asked him to have his daughter take care of his two daughters.

Tian Guorong readily agreed and called Tian Tian to give her the instructions. A week ago, the Li sisters flew to Linhai, and Tian Tian, following her father's request, arranged for them to stay in this villa.

This was the basic situation, but Chen Mo was unaware of the details. He stood there for a long time, unable to figure out what was going on. The midday sun was scorching, and Chen Mo was drenched in sweat. Finally, he decided to approach and ask.

Seeing Chen Mo walk over, Li Ruxiang whispered to Li Ran Zhu, "Little sister, do you think this boy is the younger brother Tian Tian mentioned?"

Tian Tian had previously told the Li sisters about a very close younger brother who lived on the first floor of the villa. At the time, the sisters had wanted to leave and find another place to stay, but Tian Tian reassured them by saying he was only sixteen, which slightly eased their concerns.

Hearing her sister's words, Li Ran Zhu couldn't help but look at Chen Mo's attire and hesitated, "I don't think so? How could Tian Tian know this..."

Li Ran Zhu had originally wanted to say "this poor black-skinned guy," but she thought it might be too harsh, so she stopped herself.

By this time, Chen Mo had already reached the balcony. He raised his hand to shield his eyes and asked, "Excuse me, are the two of you Tian's classmates?"

Hearing this, Li Ruxiang immediately confirmed, "Little sister, he must be the younger brother Tian Tian mentioned. Go ahead and let him in."

Li Ran Zhu nodded and asked, "Are you Tian Tian's younger brother?"

To confirm, Li Ran Zhu asked again, and Chen Mo nodded, "Yes, my name is Chen Mo. Nice to meet you, both of you."

Seeing Chen Mo's polite greeting, Li Ran Zhu immediately adjusted her attitude. She wasn't the type to judge people by appearance. Her previous prejudice was due to a misunderstanding, which was now cleared up. She smiled and nodded, "Hello, Chen Mo. We are Tian Tian's good friends. Wait a moment, I'll go open the door for you."

Chen Mo smiled and took out the spare key Tian Tian had given him, "No need to trouble you, I have a key."

Chen Mo then walked to the villa's entrance with his luggage, opened the door, and went straight to his bedroom, turning on the fan to cool himself down.

On the balcony, Li Ruxiang whispered to Li Ran Zhu, "Little sister, since we'll be living together, shouldn't you go and greet him?"

Li Ran Zhu sighed, "Sis, we should greet him, but I don't think it's a good idea for us to stay here. Although this boy isn't very old, it's still a bit inconvenient. I think we should find another place to stay when we have the chance."

Li Ruxiang agreed with this thought and nodded, "Yes, when the weather cools down a bit, we'll go look around. I think the environment in this neighborhood is quite nice. We can ask around to see if anyone is willing to rent or sell a villa. We're not short of money, and it doesn't feel right to live in someone else's place."

Li Ran Zhu nodded, finished hanging the clothes, and then pushed her sister into the living room on the second floor before turning to go downstairs.
