Chen Lu, with one hand on the steering wheel, couldn't help but smile upon hearing this. "Actually, it's quite fun. Getting together and causing some trouble is like saying goodbye to our unfree student life. After all, we'll be scattered all over the place, and this might be the last time we see each other."

Although he had lost contact with his high school classmates long ago, he still remembered getting half-drunk with a group of friends after the college entrance exam and then spending the night in an internet cafe... Putting everything else aside, that night was definitely the most relaxed and carefree day of those years.

In youth, one is carefree and, regardless of how well one performs in exams, only has expectations for the future.

"Never mind...it's too troublesome."

Chen Lu and Liang Zhirou exchanged a smile, then said, "You find even a simple meal troublesome?"

"It'll be too noisy with so many people, and lots of people like to use this opportunity to confess their feelings. If I go, I'll have to spend time rejecting them." Chen Muxue drooped her eyelids, frowned, and scratched her head. "I'm not going."

If Chen Lu didn't know what kind of personality his daughter had, he would have thought this sounded like something out of Versailles.

"Muxue is all grown up now. She should try to get to know nice guys more often," Liang Zhirou suggested softly with a smile, looking at her husband's profile.

Even someone as naive as her could find a husband who couldn't be better. Mu Xue is so smart, she doesn't need to worry about her at all. And she won't have to be bullied by her husband like Mu Xue did…

If only she were as smart as her daughter, she would dream of becoming the master of her own destiny, instead of only occasionally going up there when there's a fight.

“Those people are all so naive, and they’re not even half as good to you as your father is.”

Chen Muxue muttered disdainfully under her breath.

She wants to find someone who is both bad and gentle, who will trick her in different ways every day and secretly modify the claw machine just to make her happy.

Then, like her mother, she would decide whether to play dumb or not, depending on the situation.

Although my mother is genuinely silly most of the time...

Thinking that the two people should have met by now, she quickly turned off her phone.

Chen Muxue turned her head to look at the tall buildings outside the car window and sighed almost imperceptibly.

Brother, if you don't seize such a good opportunity... you might as well die out there.

Achoo!

Chen Yunqi sneezed in front of the hotel and glanced at Jiang Nan, who had arrived at almost the same time.

The girl was wearing a casual white T-shirt and light blue denim shorts, revealing her long, straight legs and fair, snow-white skin.

His gaze was subconsciously drawn to those dazzlingly long legs, and then he looked away shyly.

Looking further up... the girl was looking at him with a cold and aloof expression.

He blushed and felt strange at the same time, because his sister wasn't wearing this outfit when they met that morning...

Chen Yunqi suddenly felt a little confused again.

In his memory, his sister had never participated in any of these so-called "group activities" since she was a child, because no one could persuade her to participate.

"Sis, it's just a bunch of people eating, drinking, and making a ruckus. Why are you getting involved?" he couldn't help but ask.

If he had to choose, he would prefer to have a meal with people he knows well rather than with a large group like this—many of whom he has barely spoken to.

Jiang Nan gave him a cold look. "I was about to ask you the same thing. What are you doing here?"

Chen Yunqi scratched his cheek with his index finger, "Mu Xue said you were coming, and I'm a little worried..."

Jiang Nan didn't have time to ask him what he was worried about, and subconsciously murmured, "She also told me that you were coming."

"Then, where is Mu Xueren?" Chen Yunqi asked.

"..."

The two exchanged a silent glance, and the truth naturally came to light.

"I'll beat her to death!"

Jiang Nan rolled up the sleeve that wasn't even there, turned around and was about to leave when he bumped into a girl he was somewhat familiar with.

The short-haired girl with glasses paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "Why are you leaving so soon after you arrived?"

She could only offer a polite smile: "I have something to do, so let's call it a day. I'll treat you next time."

What's up?

Jiang Nan's smile gradually disappeared, and he said coldly, "Mu Xue broke her leg, I have to go see her."

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that Chen Yunqi had been dragged inside by several boys in the class, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and follow.

"Didn't you say Mu Xue's leg was broken?"

"It's not broken yet." Jiang Nan took a few hurried steps, then suddenly turned back and said, "It'll be broken when I get back!"

The short-haired girl's puzzled expression gradually turned into a smile. She caught up with her in quick steps and asked in a gossipy whisper, "Now that it's come to this, can you tell me the truth? Do you like Chen Yunqi?"

"You've asked this question hundreds of times, why are you so nosy?"

"This isn't gossip. If you don't like him, I'll confess to him."

"Don't try to take it from me!"

Jiang Nan suddenly stopped and shouted. She was furious. How could so many people want to take advantage of her younger brother whom she had raised since he was a child?

The short-haired girl was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled like an aunt, as if she had just bumped into something.

No matter how many years have passed, childhood sweethearts are still so endearing.

She thought to herself that Mu Xue was indeed a genius, and her teaching methods were really effective.

Jiang Nan glared at her, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, then pushed open the door and went inside, ignoring her completely.

...

Gatherings with acquaintances are fine, but once there are many people, it turns into meaningless toasting and drinking.

Half-drunk, and seeing that it was getting late, he quickly used the excuse that his sister had broken her leg to leave the table.

If my sister drinks too much, not to mention whether Jiang Chao's godfather will punish him, Chen Lu will give him a beating, and he might even get a rocket headbutt from my mother.
