Chapter 22

After hearing what Zhong Mengyuan said, Yin Mu became more confused, his eyes filled with bewilderment: "What you said is the same as not saying anything, I still don't understand."

Zhong Mengyuan didn't seem to have any intention of telling her everything, and poked her forehead: "You're so stupid, forget it, I've made it so clear and you still don't understand."

"Then please explain it more clearly." Yin Mu rolled his eyes. "Listen to your own explanation. Is that even worthy of being called an explanation?"

"Aren't you a novelist? Use your imagination, please."

"I don't write fantasy novels!" Yin Mu angrily accused Zhong Mengyuan, "You haven't even read my books, and yet I always leave you a sample copy!"

"How can I have the energy to watch it! I'm exhausted from dealing with all those clients at work every day, and when I get home all I want to do is lie down."

Zhong Mengyuan was a workaholic, responsible for marketing in the company, and often had no peace on her days off. Yin Mu knew how exhausted she was, and seeing that the argument would be endless, he immediately surrendered: "Okay, okay, you've worked hard. But this is not the point, we'll talk about it later. Now let's get back to the topic, okay?"

"Okay, let's get back to the topic." Zhong Mengyuan laughed briefly, then stopped laughing and said seriously, "Yin Mu, we are in the same book, you know that."

Zhong Mengyuan seldom calls Yin Mu by his full name, but once she does, it means she wants to get serious about business.

Yin Mu couldn't help but become serious and said, "I know, I just don't know why I came here."

Zhong Mengyuan was about to speak when she suddenly heard someone calling Yin Mu's name in the living room. She made a "hush" gesture and said, "Listen, is someone calling you?"

Yin Mu pricked up his ears and listened carefully. Sure enough, he heard Zheng Wei's voice: "It's Zheng Wei."

"Oh, the girl you went out on a date with." Zhong Mengyuan nodded and asked, "How is it? Do you want to go out?"

Yin Mu sighed: "Go out, don't arouse suspicion, it will be troublesome."

"Okay, let's continue this discussion tonight." Zhong Mengyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled at her, "You two have a pretty good relationship. You actually chose her when choosing a date."

"She's not a bad person, she just speaks without restraint occasionally, but it's not a big deal." Yin Mu said, "Did you watch the live broadcast? That Zhang Yang is really infuriating."

"Okay, okay, it's a good thing to make friends." Zhong Mengyuan supported Yin Mu's legs and stood up, then reached out to pull Yin Mu, "Come on, let me go meet him too."

Yin Mu smiled and replied, "Yes, Team Leader Zhong."

Zheng Wei knocked on Yin Mu's door but couldn't find anyone. She was scratching her head in the living room when she saw Yin Mu and Zhong Mengyuan walking out of Zhong Mengyuan's room one after the other. Her eyes widened in surprise: "You..."

Yin Mu didn't wait for her to ask, and asked first: "Zheng Wei, why did you look for me?"

Zheng Wei held up the medicine bottle in her hand: "You said you would help me apply the medicine, but you forgot."

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot." Yin Mu came over and took the medicine bottle from her hand. "Come on, sit on the sofa, I'll help you apply the medicine."

Zheng Wei agreed and walked to the sofa with her and sat down, but her eyes kept drifting to Zhong Mengyuan who was following them, full of doubts.

Zhong Mengyuan sat on a single sofa to one side and smiled at Zheng Wei in a friendly manner: "Hello, my name is Zhong Mengyuan."

Zheng Wei quickly said, "My name is Zheng Wei."

"I know."

"Hmm..." Zheng Wei made small talk, "You and Mu Mu are very familiar with each other."

"Very familiar, a decade-long relationship, right, Rabbit?"

Yin Mu was lowering his head to apply medicine to Zheng Wei. He took the time to look up at her and said, "Yes, yes, yes."

"Really?" Zheng Wei frowned in confusion. "That's not what Mumu said this morning. Oh, by the way, why do you call Mumu Rabbit?"

Zhong Mengyuan didn't want to say more, and said perfunctorily: "This is a long story, let's talk about it slowly when we have time."

"Tell me about it," Zheng Wei asked curiously. "Also, when you met this morning, what did you call each other? I think it was something like 'rabbit'."

"It's nothing, actually." Yin Muyan summarized it succinctly. "We were reading a book together at the time. In the book, there were two little girls who gave each other code names when writing letters. One was called Guaiguai Rabbit and the other was called Mimi Rabbit. We thought it was interesting, so we learned it and agreed to use it as our code name."

"Wow, that sounds so cute." Zheng Wei praised generously, "Do you usually call each other like that?"

"Not really. Firstly, three characters is too long to pronounce. Secondly," Yin Mu paused and pointed at Zhong Mengyuan, "She dislikes the name 'Mimi Rabbit' because it makes her eyes look small, so she doesn't allow me to call her that. But she also thinks rabbits and I look good together, so she keeps calling me Rabbit."

"Oh—so there's such a story."

"Yeah, now that I think about it, I was so naive and childish back then." Yin Mu helped Zheng Wei apply the medicine and then tore off a piece of medical tape to apply it again. "Okay, it will scab over in two days."

"Thank you, Mumu." Zheng Wei put the medicine away and said casually, "We are all back, why are Zhou Jingyu and the others still not back?"

"It's not too late now."

"Yeah, who cares." Zheng Wei leaned back on the sofa, found a comfortable position, and asked, "Mengyuan, how are you and Chen Qinglin? Did you have fun at the zoo?"

Zhong Mengyuan lazily pulled a pillow over and hugged it in his arms, saying, "It's okay, but he doesn't talk much, which is a bit boring."

"Ah, that's true." Zheng Wei nodded in agreement. "I don't think I've spoken much to him in the past few days at the villa."

Zhong Mengyuan added: "I talk a lot with rabbits."

"That's right, the two of them were in the same group yesterday and completely defeated all of us."

After Zheng Wei finished speaking, they both turned their gazes to Yin Mu. Yin Mu was helpless: "Why are you dragging me into this again?"

Zheng Wei smiled slyly: "Because Chen Qinglin is definitely interested in you. - Meng Yuan, do you feel anything?"

"How can she feel when she first arrives?"

"You can't say that." Zhong Mengyuan disagreed, "At least he doesn't talk as much when he's with me as he does with you."

"Okay, okay, just don't let this get to you." Yin Mu begged, "Let's not talk about men anymore and talk about something else, okay?"

Zhong Mengyuan then mercifully let her go: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about them."

It was almost dinner time when Zhou Jingyu, Zhang Yang and Jiang Nanyu finally returned to the villa. They had obviously had a great time and all of them had smiles on their faces.

Zheng Wei, who had already moved to the living room, had temporarily put Zhang Yang down, but seeing him like this still made her feel uncomfortable. She whispered to Yin Mu, "Look how happy he is. He wasn't very smart to begin with, and now he looks even more like a dumb bear."

Yin Mu burst out laughing, quickly covered his mouth, and lowered his voice: "You should be more kind-hearted."

What is Zheng Wei saying? Speak louder so we can hear it.

[Hahahaha, most likely saying something bad about Zhang Yang.]

【Zhang Yang is very satisfied today.】

How could I not be satisfied? I finally got to date the goddess I'd always dreamed of.

[Zhang Yang, you have no vision. How is our Zheng Wei any worse than Zhou Jingyu?]

…

The number of guests in the villa increased from six to eight. The table seemed a little more crowded during dinner. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

After dinner, everyone gathered in the living room to chat. Zhang Yang talked about the interesting things that happened during their dates during the day, and he and Jiang Nanyu echoed each other in their stories, telling them vividly.

Zheng Wei didn't want to listen to a word. She was absent-mindedly playing with the Rubik's Cube in her hand, but her eyes drifted to Yin Mu. She saw that she had gotten a notebook from somewhere and was writing and drawing with a pen, but she didn't know what she was writing.

After watching for a while, Zheng Wei couldn't help but lean over and asked, "Mumu, are you drawing?"

"No, it's just random writing." Yin Mu closed the notebook calmly, not intending to show Zheng Wei what he had written.

"Oh..." Zheng Wei replied listlessly, "It's so boring. I want to go upstairs and sleep."

"I want to, too." Yin Mu agreed, "Then you go first, and I'll follow right after you."

Zheng Wei agreed, but her heart was still playful, sitting there not wanting to move: "It would be boring to end it like this, why not play some games."

Yin Mu tilted his head to look at her, his tone helpless: "You haven't had enough fun yet."

Zheng Wei pursed her lips. She just wanted to liven up the atmosphere. What was wrong with her?

Zhang Yang finished one topic with a lingering feeling and was about to move on to the next when Zheng Wei interrupted him, "To welcome Coach Lu and Meng Yuan, let's play a game!"

Yin Mu held his forehead and sighed with a headache. It doesn't matter who it is, please come and save her quickly.

Zhong Mengyuan gave Zheng Wei face and responded cooperatively: "Okay, what shall we play?"

Zheng Wei held her chin in her hand and thought for a moment. Then she remembered seeing playing cards in the living room on the third floor and clapped her hands. "I got it! There are so many people here today, isn't it perfect for playing the King game?"

Since there was nothing to do anyway, everyone expressed their willingness to participate. Yin Mu weakly asked if he could not participate, but Zheng Wei forced him back and he had to compromise.

Zheng Wei prepared the props and said, "There are eight cards in total, 1 to 7 of hearts, and the eighth is the King of Hearts, which is the King card. The person who draws the King of Hearts can designate anyone present to do something. The designated person must do it, otherwise there will be a punishment... Mu Mu, what punishment do you think?"

Yin Mu replied casually: "Punishment to leave the room."

"Mumu!"

"Okay, okay." Yin Mu admitted defeat, "Then I'll just do ten squats as punishment, okay?"

"That's more like it."

Zhang Yang objected: "Ten is not a punishment at all. It should be at least twenty."

Yin Mu rolled his eyes. "Twenty is twenty." It's just twenty squats, isn't it? Who are you testing here?

After the rules were set, the game officially began. Zheng Wei shuffled the cards upside down and let everyone draw one by one.

Yin Mu casually drew a card, the 2 of hearts. She didn't expect to have any good luck, so she silently put the card on her lap.

After all eight people had drawn their cards, Zheng Wei couldn't wait to ask, "Where is the king card?"

Zhong Mengyuan calmly raised the cards in her hand: "Here." She looked around and said, "I won't be difficult. Please let the Three of Hearts princess carry the Four of Hearts and spin five times."

Yin Mu had a perfect escape and breathed a sigh of relief, ready to wait and see which two unlucky guys would be caught in the first round.

Unwillingly, Zheng Wei raised her hand in frustration: "I'm the 4 of Hearts."

This vividly illustrates the saying "shooting oneself in the foot." Yin Mu couldn't help but laugh and asked, "What about the 3 of Hearts? Who drew the 3 of Hearts?"
