Chapter 538

So why would she need to interfere in his life under the guise of "for your own good"?

Isn't this just being arrogant?

Just as Zongmu respected her idea of ​​"studying hard," she would also respect his choice.

Zong Mu paused, his gaze on her growing increasingly intense.

His Adam's apple bobbed. "Little rabbit, you really are..."

Wen Xin smiled at him and said softly, "Zong Mu, you don't need to accommodate me."

Zong Mu raised an eyebrow. "So what if I indulge you? I just love indulging you."

Wen Xin: "..."

He laughed: "I don't like others controlling my life, so I came to Qing City. I hate all kinds of rules and regulations, so I don't care if others say I'm a good-for-nothing problem student. All of this is because I'm happy."

But now, his greatest wish and joy is to be with her, to fight alongside her, and to fully integrate into her world.

For him, learning was no longer a constraint, but a pleasure.

Why did he refuse?

Wen Xin's eyes shimmered with clear light, reflecting his image. She opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.

Zong Mu propped his cheek up with one hand, his arrogant eyes brimming with amusement. "Little white rabbit, are you so moved that you want to repay me with your body?"

Wen Xin: "..." Heh, the little deer that made my heart flutter died, and you still want to repay him with your body?

She shouldn't have too high expectations for this crazy teenager.

Zong Mu tapped her physics workbook with his long, slender fingers and said arrogantly, "From now on, if you have any questions, just ask me. Do you think I'm inferior to that bookworm Wei Yu?"

He's so academically gifted that even he's afraid of himself!

Wen Xin's lips twitched, and she gave a nonchalant "Oh".

Seeing this, the school bully quickly dropped his arrogance and stopped acting up. He pulled out two movie tickets, coughed lightly, and said, "These were a gift from Wan Dapeng. He said it's for a newly released movie with pretty good reviews, and I thought I shouldn't waste them..."

Wen Xin lowered her eyes, concealing the smile in them, as if she didn't understand the hidden meaning in his words, "Hmm, sounds good. I hope Zong and Wan have fun tomorrow."

Zong Mu: "..."

Happy my ass!

Who wants to go out and have fun with that idiot Wan Dapeng?

A certain school bully muttered resentfully, "Little white rabbit."

Wen Xin sighed helplessly, "The teacher assigned a lot of homework this week."

She doesn't like to wait until the weekend to finish her homework.

In addition, she also had time to help Wen's mother, so she really wasn't deliberately refusing him.

Zong Mu almost vomited when he said "Then don't write it," because he was afraid the little white rabbit would beat him up.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly snatched her practice paper and started writing furiously.

Wen Xin was taken aback. "Zong, what are you doing?"

"Do your homework!"

"That's my practice paper."

"Oh, why should we distinguish between you and me?"

"..."

Who said we don't distinguish between you and me?

"It's okay, I'll return it to you as soon as I'm done."

Zong Mu cleverly gave himself a thumbs up.

After I help the little rabbit with her homework, will she still not play with me?

Wen Xin: "..." I just want to beat up this crazy person who has intermittent episodes.

"Stop writing, I'll go to the movies with you tomorrow."

Zong Mu immediately threw down his pen and shoved the movie tickets into her arms, saying, "A girl should keep her word."

Wen Xin couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Why are you like this?"

Looking at her smiling face, Zong Mu's expression softened, and he said softly, "Because I want to be with you."

Wen Xin looked up and met his eyes.

The sunset glow shone through the window, bathing the two of them and etching the most beautiful memories of their youth.

...

On Saturday, Wen Xin went to see a movie with him as promised.

Zong Mu waited for him outside her residential compound.

The boy stood under the tree, still dressed in black casual clothes. His eyebrows and eyes were thick and dark, with a sharp and arrogant look that made him seem like someone you shouldn't mess with at first glance.

But when he saw the girl, his cold expression brightened instantly, and a smile spread across his eyes.

Wen Xin jogged over, "Have you been waiting long?"

Zong Mu handed her the milk tea, saying, "I just arrived too."

"Then let's go."

"good."

The movie ticket in Zong Mu's hand was supposedly a gift from Wan Dapeng; it was for a youth-themed, melancholic film.

Coincidentally, in the movie, the female lead is a well-behaved girl and the male lead is a troublemaker at school. The male lead secretly loves and pursues the female lead. After a brief period of innocent and ambiguous feelings during their youth, the female lead can't bear the various obstacles in reality and breaks up with the male lead.

The male lead is persistent, the female lead leaves without saying goodbye and transfers to another school, and then they meet again after many years. They are both adults and doing well in society.

But at that time, the male lead already had a girlfriend, and then there were all sorts of misunderstandings and melodramatic events. In the end, the female lead died of a terminal illness, and the male lead lived out his days alone, resulting in a tragic ending.

It has to be said that this might be a bit like a movie reflecting reality.

After Zong Mu finished reading it, his face turned ashen.

"What kind of bullshit plot is this?"

What was the point of recommending this movie to that idiot Wan Dapeng?

Wan Dapeng is innocent! Didn't Brother Mu say he wanted the best movie recently?

He bought the tickets based on the online rankings, so how is he at fault?

While others were still immersed in the sad storyline after watching the movie, a certain school bully jumped up and down, confronting the screenwriter.

Wen Xin: "..."

She quickly pulled the person away, not wanting to be stared at like a monkey later.

When they got to a secluded spot, seeing that he still looked sullen, Wen Xin chuckled and said, "It's just a movie."

However, their situations are indeed very similar to the movie's setting, such as the wealth gap between their families.

She was also a little intrigued and asked him, "If your mother didn't like the person you loved, thought she was Cinderella and not good enough for you, and tried to bribe her to leave you, and she couldn't take the pressure and actually broke up with you, what would you do?"

Zongmu looked at her and said, "There is no such assumption."

"ah?"

"My parents passed away ten years ago."

"..."

Wen Xin paused for a moment, her tone full of apology, "I'm sorry."

Zong Mu's expression was indifferent, showing no sign of sadness. "It's alright. All they care about while they're alive is whether I'm good enough, whether I've embarrassed them, and how to maximize my interests as their son."

Wen Xin was momentarily speechless, then said softly, "There are people who genuinely care about you."

Zong Mu looked down at her, a slight smile playing on his thin lips. "Mm."

"However, if such a thing really happens, I will just take my family property and run away from home."

He sneered, "Knowing full well that the other party is controlling, how could I not have a backup plan? I must have already transferred enough assets. If they dare to control my life, I dare to make them bleed. I'll elope with my money and my sweetheart. Which city can't we live in?"

With the ability, where can't one conquer an empire?

Does a wealthy family really have the power to control the entire world?
