Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Today, Lin Mo's school didn't have any classes, so he stayed in the dormitory until noon. Only then did he leisurely leave the dorm building, planning to find some delicious food outside the campus to satisfy his taste buds.

Just as he stepped out of the school gate, his gaze inadvertently swept under the shade of the trees not far away. There, he saw a frail girl standing on her tiptoes, turning her head constantly, looking around, as if searching for someone.

"Serafina?"

When Lin Mo got a good look at the girl's face, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect to meet this girl here.

At that moment, Serafina also happened to see Lin Mo. Her face, which had been slightly anxious, instantly lit up with delight. Her big eyes widened with unconcealed joy. She slightly parted her rosy lips in a sweet smile, then ran cheerfully towards Lin Mo.

"Big brother, I finally found you!"

Serafina ran up to Lin Mo and, while speaking, pulled out a few neatly folded Huaxia Coins from her shabby school uniform pocket. Some were fives, others tens. She handed the money to Lin Mo and blinked her big, glistening eyes, giggling, "Thank you for lending me money that day. I've returned it to you, a total of two hundred, all here."

Looking at Serafina in front of him, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a bit emotional. It was hard for him to connect the lively, cheerful girl in front of him with the silent, cautious Serafina from the other day on the bar street; the character difference was just too vast.

"You..."

Just as Lin Mo was about to ask something, Serafina seemed to guess his thoughts. She blinked her cute big eyes and half-jokingly said, "I was scared that day, and you looked so fierce, taking down so many people by yourself. I was too scared to speak. But now it's different."

"Different? What's different? I think I'm still very fierce." Lin Mo replied with a smile.

In recent days, aside from dealing with the scum, Lin Mo hadn't really spoken much to others. Encountering such an interesting little girl, he was happy to chat a bit more and enjoy the rare light-hearted atmosphere.

"Because I know you're a good person! You not only saved me but also lent me money so I could go home. It's the first time someone has cared for me like that."

Although Serafina was smiling, Lin Mo keenly caught a fleeting sorrow in her eyes. He knew he might have touched on something sad for the girl, so he seamlessly changed the topic: "How did you know I was a student at the police academy?"

"Big brother, even though you look mature, you're actually not much older than me, so I guessed you must still be a student. Plus, being able to fight so many people alone, you must have trained. The only school around the bar street that fits these conditions is the Los Angeles Police Academy."

After speaking, Serafina proudly lifted her head, her face showing a "praise me" expression. She playfully brushed her slightly curly bangs, looking very cute.

"That's impressive!"

Lin Mo gave Serafina a thumbs up with a smile, then continued to ask, "It's not even the weekend, why aren't you in school today?"

At the mention of "school," Serafina's cheerful face instantly drooped. She pouted and suddenly asked, "Big brother, you don't have a girlfriend, do you?"

"No, why do you ask all of a sudden?" Lin Mo asked curiously.

"Talking to girls and you keep asking such boring questions, plus bringing up what's best left unsaid, no wonder you don't have a girlfriend with such low emotional intelligence."

Serafina pouted, shook her head like a little adult, and sighed.

Seeing Serafina's adorable and funny demeanor, Lin Mo couldn't help but gently flick her forehead, playfully scolding, "You little rascal, not only skipping class but also getting into dating matters. Go back to school already!"

"Ah!"

Serafina exclaimed, hurriedly covering her forehead and squatting on the ground. After a while, she looked up, her big, watery eyes pitifully stating, "I'm a good student, really. It's the school's anniversary today, so we don't have classes, that's why I came out."

"Uh..."

Hearing this, Lin Mo was taken aback, a hint of embarrassment showing on his face.

Serafina then stared at Lin Mo with a look of grievance, wrinkling her cute little nose as she said, "Humph! You wronged me and flicked me. How are you going to compensate me for that?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo instantly felt a headache coming on, inwardly lamenting how challenging it is to deal with little girls these days.

"In that case, keep the two hundred as compensation."

With a mindset of avoiding unnecessary trouble, after saying that, Lin Mo turned to leave.

But before he could turn around completely, the quick-eyed and swift-handed Serafina stood up and grabbed his sleeve, speaking with a rather assertive tone, "No way! One thing is one thing. This money I've returned to you; how can you refuse it?"
