After putting it on, Momo took Fade's hand and gesticulated with it. Then, she took a picture with her mobile phone and said happily, "Fade, doesn't it look good?"

Next, Momo pulled Fade with her, pointed at a clothing store not far away, and said, "Fade, it's getting cold. I'll buy you a scarf!"

At this moment, Momo was dragging Fade forward by the hand. However, he sensed that something was wrong with the situation.

Momo seemed particularly nice to him presently, as if she had special feelings for him.

Although they often joked around and even played pranks on each other, Fade treated Momo as his little sister. As for Momo, she seemed to have always treated him as her brother. But now, the situation felt different.

As she got out of the car when they arrived, Momo held Fade's arm intimately and leaned against him. She didn't seem to care about how the teachers and students in the campus judge them. What was more, they had breakfast together and bought this pair of bracelets. Obviously, they acted like a couple.

Although Fade felt a twinge of passion, his mind was very clear. He knew what his actual relationship with Momo was. He also knew that such young girls might fall in love easily.

As a result, Fade was worried that Momo was in love with him. That was probably why she was behaving this way because she wanted to hint her feelings for him.

At the thought of this, Fade couldn't help but feel confused, and he suddenly felt troubled.

Fade was obviously happy that a young and beautiful girl fancied him. However, Momo was Quin's cousin, and Fade could not hurt Quin's feelings like that.

When he thought of this, Fade felt relieved. He pulled Momo back and said, "Momo, wait a minute!"

Momo stood still, turned to look at Fade, and said, "Fade, what's wrong?"

Fade looked at Momo's pretty face and thought about how to word his sentiments. He didn't want to hurt her feelings, but yet, he wanted to make sure that his message was clearly conveyed. After a moment of silence, Momo asked in

confusion, "Fade, why aren't you speaking? What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Fade shook his head, pulled Momo aside, and sat down on a bench. He organized his thoughts, then looked at Momo and said, "Momo, you're 18 years old, and you're a big girl now." "Well, yes, I turned 18 a few months ago." Momo looked at Fade with a strange expression.

Fade continued, "Momo, girls your age are relatively simple and they fall in love easily. However, what you feel may not be the real deal. Do you understand what I mean?"

Momo frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Fade, you're telling me not to rush into a relationship while at university. That I'm too young to fall in love, right?"

"Ahem, t-this... That's not what I meant. I..." Fade didn't know what to say at all. "Momo, I meant that I'm your brother-in-law, and I'm not as good as you imagine me to be. I..." "Fade, I know that you are my brother-in-law! I also know that you are not that great. I know with certainty that you are a little coy, a little flirtatious, and a bit lecherous!" Momo counted on her fingers, one by one.

When he heard this, Fade felt like crying from exasperation. He wondered, "Am I that horrible of a person? If that's the case, why do you like me?"

However, he could not say that out loud. Therefore, Fade could only laugh dryly and say to Momo, "Momo, I don't mean that. What I mean is, I don't think we are suitable for each other. You are still young, and you are Quin's cousin. We..."

As he said this, Momo's eyes widened. She suddenly realized something as she stared at Fade. She opened her mouth widely and said, "Fade, y-you saying all these. Did you think that I have fallen in love with you?"

"Ah, isn't that the case?" Fade was a little confused.

Momo patted her thigh and burst into laughter. "Fade, you think I like you? How is that possible? You're overthinking!"

Fade was a little speechless, but he frowned and asked, "Then what was all that about? You hugged me so intimately, and you didn't mind our picture being taken. You even bought a pair of couple bracelets and took pictures with me. Don't you..."

Momo stretched out her hand and patted Fade's back a few times, saying, "Fade, you're thinking too much. I didn't mean that at all. In actual fact, I have a favor I need from you." "What is it?" Fade asked. Momo calmed down and said, "Fade, this is the situation. I have an aunt from South Bay City who is coming here to do business. She happened to have some free time, so she wanted to come and see me at the campus." "She mentioned that her family wants to introduce a boyfriend to me. She wants me to get engaged when I go back home this coming winter," Momo said. "I don't want that kind of marriage, so I lied that I have a boyfriend at school."

"However, Fade, you know that I don't have a boyfriend. And later in the afternoon, my aunt will be coming. Therefore, I have no choice but to ask you to pretend to be my boyfriend," Momo explained with her hands spread out. "As for the photos just now and the couple bracelets, they are all just for show to convince my aunt."

When he heard this, Fade was stunned speechlessly.

"Fade, it's my fault for not clarifying this in advance, and I have caused you to misunderstand. As a result, you thought that I like you. Therefore, I must apologize to you. Haha," Momo bowed her head and apologized to Fade. But as she spoke, she hit her thighs and chuckled loudly again. "Fade, I didn't expect you to think that way..."

At this moment, Fade felt so embarrassed, he would have buried his head in the ground if he could.

However, without a hole in the ground, he could only blush in embarrassment. He glared at Momo and said, "You are still laughing! If you laugh again, I will leave."

When she heard what he said, Momo quickly grabbed Fade, pursed her lips, and immediately said, "My dear Fade, I won't laugh anymore. Please don't go. Buy something with me. Take more photos, and put on a good show later."

Fade almost cried in exasperation but Momo was Quin's cousin after all, so he had to help her.

As a result, he could only swallow his tears and allow Momo to use him as a tool as she took photos.

Just like that, Momo dragged Fade around the campus commercial street. They took many photos together and bought couples' accessories. They gave one the impression that they were really a couple. When Fade saw that it was almost time, he wanted to tell Momo to find a place to rest as they waited for Momo's aunt's arrival.
