For some reason, there were many people waiting for the elevator early in the morning, but no one approached Mu Liuyun. Everyone consciously kept their distance, as if there was an invisible wall between them.
When the elevator came down, Mu Liuyun stepped into it, but no one followed her.
Looking at the empty elevator, Mu Liuyun suddenly felt isolated by her classmates. As soon as the elevator reached her floor, she hurriedly ran down.
Upon entering Chu Yaqin's office, Mu Liuyun decided to help her boss clean up first.
The scent of roses still lingered in the air. Mu Liuyun took a deep breath.
Then the window was opened.
"Let's air it out, the smell is too strong."
He saw the tissues Chu Yaqin had used on the table, and Mu Liuyun went over and picked them up.
Then it was thrown into the trash can.
"She has no manners at all. How can she be a pampered young lady?"
He saw it again: the breast wrap that Chu Yaqin had torn yesterday. Mu Liuyun stepped forward and took it from her hands.
Then I got it.
"Um... never mind."
He didn't intend to do anything strange, but these were Chu Yaqin's personal "clothing," and he couldn't just throw them away on his own.
In novels, when this kind of scene appears, it always ends with the clothing being the only possession of a deceased relative—a melodramatic plot twist.
"This is beyond my capabilities."
As Mu Liuyun was about to throw the torn breast wrap back to its original place, the office door behind her opened with a knock, startling Mu Liuyun so much that she immediately stuffed the strip of cloth into her pocket.
"Secretary, what's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to wait for me to pick you up?"
Just as he stuffed it into his pocket, Chu Yaqin, looking furious, walked in from outside. Today, Chu Yaqin wasn't wearing men's clothing, but rather a rather androgynous uniform.
Seeing Mu Liuyun in a formal suit, Chu Yaqin became even angrier: "Where are the clothes I gave you? Why aren't you wearing them?"
"I don't want to wear women's clothes anymore, I'm a man!"
After saying this, Mu Liuyun gave a cold laugh.
Neither humble nor arrogant, that's the true nature of a man!
"What did you say, huh?"
Chu Yaqin's anger vanished suddenly, and her eyes were fixed on Mu Liuyun's pocket.
Mu Liuyun followed Chu Yaqin's gaze and saw that a small piece of the cloth strip that had just been stuffed into her pocket was sticking out. The white cloth scrap and the black trousers didn't match at all.
Mu Liuyun quickly leaned forward, stuffing the piece of cloth into her pocket with one hand while waving her other hand frantically. Then she said in a flustered tone, "No, it's nothing!"
"Nothing, what is it!"
Chu Yaqin took a few steps forward and suddenly reached out to attack Mu Liuyun's pocket.
However, Mu Liuyun had the advantage of being shorter and reacted much faster than Chu Yaqin. She took a few steps back and clutched her pocket tightly.
Chu Yaqin frowned and glanced around the office. When her gaze fell on the sofa, she suddenly stopped, her cheeks flushed slightly, but a meaningful smile appeared on her face.
"Oh~ Listening to what you said, I thought the secretary really didn't like wearing women's clothing."
"Huh? I really don't like it?"
"What was that secretary planning to do, stuffing my clothes into her pocket?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Liuyun realized that Chu Yaqin had clearly guessed what was in his pocket. In order to prevent the misunderstanding from deepening, he quickly said, "President Chu, you've misunderstood!"
Chu Yaqin seemed not to hear Mu Liuyun's voice. She tapped her chin with her fingertips and said hesitantly, "Do your grandfather and sister know about your little secretary's hobby? Should I send some to your house?"
"I..."
Mu Liuyun lowered her head, and when she looked up again, she had put on a fawning smile: "President Chu, I got that uniform dirty yesterday, so I changed into a new one today."
"Hmm, that's more like it. Go to the room inside and change into something else."
As she spoke, Chu Yaqin pushed open the door to the rest room attached to the office, took out a uniform that was exactly the same as yesterday from the wardrobe, threw it on the bed, and then gestured towards the bed, indicating that Mu Liuyun should change herself.
Mu Liuyun had no choice but to obediently change her clothes.
Putting the unsettling short skirt back on, Mu Liuyun took a deep breath before leaving the lounge.
Seeing Mu Liuyun dressed in women's clothing, Chu Yaqin smiled and nodded: "Not bad, this suits the little secretary better."
As she spoke, Chu Yaqin naturally reached out to stroke Mu Liuyun's head, but Mu Liuyun dodged her hand on the spot.
"President Chu, get back to work."
Chu Yaqin stared at her hand hanging in the air, feeling a little strange. Mu Liuyun seemed a little different today.
Before, you were clearly just pretending to be unwilling but actually taking what you wanted, a classic case of saying one thing but doing another.
She looked up again and glanced at Mu Liuyun, whose face was full of smiles and slightly flushed.
Yeah, she's still so cute, it doesn't matter.
And so, she returned to her office chair and began her work.
The day passed quickly, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office.
Although Chu Yaqin was still working, she would glance at Mu Liuyun from time to time, her eyes filled with resentment and incomprehension.
All day long, Chu Yaqin tried to get close to Mu Liuyun, but every time she was about to touch her, Mu Liuyun would dodge her.
She couldn't even manage the simplest thing like holding hands.
'What happened? Did I not shower yesterday, or did I get thorns today?'
Chu Yaqin was caught in a deep self-doubt when her phone rang. It was Chu Tianxing calling.
"Daughter, hurry home, your Grandpa Mu is here to visit!"
Chu Yaqin's face lit up with joy: "Okay, shall I invite Mu Liuyun as well?"
"No, no, no, don't invite Xiaoyun today, and don't tell Xiaoyun that Grandpa Mu came to our house!"
"Huh? Okay..."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Yaqin felt a sudden sense of loss, like a deflated balloon, and looked around.
Mu Liuyun, standing to the side, maintained a calm expression as she poured tea.
"Secretary, no need to pour water, I'm going home for today."
"Okay, Mr. Chu."
Mu Liuyun answered calmly.
Despite Mu Liuyun's seemingly calm and serene demeanor, her inner world is far from as peaceful as it appears.
He maintained a high level of concentration throughout the entire day in order to evade Chu Yaqin's sudden attacks.
"Let's go, I'll take you home first."
Chu Yaqin put on her coat while looking at Mu Liuyun.
Mu Liuyun shook her head: "No need, President Chu, I have an appointment with my sister. We'll walk together after she gets out of school."
Hearing this, Chu Yaqin decided not to try to persuade her anymore. After all, Chu Tianxing had already called her home, and she couldn't neglect Grandpa Mu just to send Mu Liuyun home.
After being rejected again, Chu Yaqin pouted and left first, and Mu Liuyun also left a little later, without taking the elevator with Chu Yaqin.
After going downstairs, Mu Liuyun asked Mu Xiaoxi if she wanted to go home. When she received a negative answer, she took the bus home alone.
As soon as she unlocked the door, Mu Liuyun jumped up with joy.
"What? I really am someone who can do anything I set my mind to!"
Although he couldn't avoid wearing women's clothing, he avoided everything else he could. If he could just keep it up for a few more days, Chu Yaqin would probably get bored and stop using him as a substitute!
"Hey? Where did the old man go?"
After she calmed down, Mu Liuyun realized that Old Man Mu was not at home.
