As he spoke, Mu Jin's sharp and cold gaze was fixed on An Chen's hand that was resting on Rong Shang's shoulder, as if he wanted to take a knife and chop that hand off.

An Chen naturally noticed it too, but he was unwilling to let Xia Yan be taken away by him like that.

Everyone knows that Mu Jin and Xia Yan have been childhood sweethearts, and this guy likes Xia Yan so much. As Xia Yan's boyfriend, he would never allow them to have the opportunity to cheat on him.

"I'm her boyfriend, so naturally I should take her home." Thinking this, An Chen tightened his grip on Rong Shang's shoulders again.

But now, Rong Shang's face was as black as ink.

She was genuinely... resistant to An Chen's touch!

As Rong Shang turned to the side, she was about to push him away when Mu Jin grabbed her other hand. He suddenly pulled hard, and An Chen, caught off guard, let go. Rong Shang fell into Mu Jin's arms.

An Chen, “…”

"I told you, I would give it to her."

With a cold expression, Mu Jin's icy gaze flashed, "You're sending her home? Aren't you afraid her parents will find out you're dating?"

An Chen, “…”

He glanced down at the girl in his arms and saw that she had a calm expression and did not show any resistance. Mu Jin's expression softened slightly. "Yan Yan, let's go back."

In front of An Chen, Mu Jin always subconsciously showed his intimacy with Xia Yan.

Fortunately, she didn't refuse and just let him take her arm and lead her away.

This naturally angered An Chen, who chased after her and called out, "Yan Yan, are you really going to go back with him?"

The next second, Mu Jin suddenly turned around and punched An Chen hard in the face.

An Chen let out a "yelp" and staggered back a few steps, his mouth already bruised.

It hurt; he covered his mouth and shook his head.

"Mu Jin!"

Angered, An Chen's face darkened, and his fists clenched.

Just as he was about to confront Mu Jin, he heard Rong Shang say, "An Chen, I have to go back now. You should go back soon too."

She glanced at him indifferently, then looked away, her heart completely unmoved, as if the person Mu Jin had just hit had nothing to do with her.

Faced with her indifference, An Chen frowned deeply, feeling more and more that Xia Yan had changed. How could she have become so cold after only two days apart?

He was just punched by Mu Jin, how come she seems so nonchalant?

Do you still want to go back with Mu Jin?

Before he could say anything, An Chen inadvertently met Mu Jin's cold and dark gaze.

Despite it being a sweltering night, An Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

The bruise on his lip still hurt, so An Chen didn't dare take another step forward. "Okay, then be careful on your way back."

"Um."

With her tone still indifferent, Rong Shang responded and left with Mu Jin.

Watching their backs as they walked side by side, An Chen couldn't help but recall the red, swollen, and cracked lips he had just seen.

These two...were they together this afternoon?

The thought of this possibility made An Chen inexplicably irritable.

In the evening, the air felt slightly muggy.

Just then, his phone rang. An Chen picked it up and glanced at it. When he saw the name on the screen, the gloom on his face vanished instantly.

Answering the phone, An Chen strode off in the opposite direction from where Rong Shang had left, but her joyful voice drifted over on the wind, "Yao Yao."
