"What is that old man doing?"
Holding a large pair of scissors, Zhang Rui, who had been clinging to the window, frowned as he watched the silence inside the room.
When he saw Lin Yaodong sit down on the ground, he couldn't help but shout, "Good, you've gotten rid of one of my biggest threats!"
But seeing Lin Yaodong get up as if nothing had happened, he gritted his teeth in hatred.
But now, seeing Lin Yaodong sitting there blankly, staring at Lulu's toys, he felt that Lin Yaodong was planning to do something naughty again, so he quickly opened the door and came in.
"Mr. Dong, what are you looking at?"
Lin Yaodong seemed to wake up from a dream, and glanced at Zhang Rui: "No, it's nothing."
His facade crumbled, and his expression became tense with a hint of fear.
"I have something to do, so I won't wait for Lulu to wake up. Could you please give this to Lulu for me?"
With that, Lin Yaodong dropped a beautifully wrapped gift box and fled the Lin family villa as if he were escaping.
"ah?"
Zhang Rui stood there, stunned, his expression blank, which seemed out of place with his resolute features.
This was the first time in all these years that he had seen Lin Yaodong so flustered.
As a member of the Lin family's hidden dragon, he keenly sensed that something was amiss. So, while checking whether Lin Yaodong had left any listening devices in his activity areas, he also called Lin Hongmei to inform her of the matter.
...
"call."
Mu Liuyun parked her electric scooter at the entrance of Jincheng University of Technology. Looking at the tall school gate, she felt a little nervous.
After all, Mu Xiaoxi had never allowed Mu Liuyun to come to see her in the past. If she hadn't been so worried this time, and hadn't met Mu Xiaoxi's friend a few days ago, Mu Liuyun probably would have just made a phone call and let it go.
After taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down, Mu Liuyun walked into the school gate.
He knew where Mu Xiaoxi's teaching building and dormitory were, after all, he had been to this school when he was delivering food, but Mu Xiaoxi was still in junior high school at that time.
Because Mu Liuyun wore a hat when he left the Lin family, not many people paid attention to him as he walked on the campus of Jincheng University of Technology. At most, a few boys would glance at him from time to time.
Mu Liuyun was already used to this level of stares. He walked casually to the bottom of Mu Xiaoxi's dormitory building, took out his phone, and prepared to call Mu Xiaoxi.
The phone had just rang once when Mu Liuyun saw Mu Xiaoxi and several girls of similar age walking out of the dormitory building.
Mu Liuyun immediately hung up the phone, but did not rush to greet him.
The memory of her last encounter with those rainbow-colored girls was still fresh in Mu Liuyun's mind, and she was a little worried that when Mu Xiaoxi introduced herself to her roommates, she would also say that she was the older sister.
So he decided to make a phone call anyway.
"Xiaoxi, when are you finally going to bring your boyfriend to meet us?!"
A slightly overweight girl suddenly broke down in tears.
As soon as she said that, Mu Liuyun immediately stopped dialing her phone and instead focused intently on eavesdropping.
It wasn't that Mu Liuyun was too gossipy, nor that he disrespected Mu Xiaoxi's privacy.
However, Mu Liuyun was worried about his only younger sister. Especially now that Old Man Mu was not around, he had to fulfill his parental responsibilities and find out who this mysterious boyfriend really was.
When her roommate asked her a question, Mu Xiaoxi smiled mysteriously: "You'll all see it when the time comes~"
The slightly chubby girl frowned: "How many times have you said that? You still haven't let us see it!"
"You keep praising your little boyfriend like he's a flower, just to pique our curiosity. That's irresponsible of you!"
The other roommates also started cheering, saying "That's right, that's right."
"Oh dear, what should we get to eat later?"
Mu Xiaoxi continued to avoid the question, and her roommates stopped bringing it up, but they still wouldn't let her off the hook: "If your boyfriend won't let us see him, at least let us see your sister, who's even prettier than you!"
"That's right, you became the number one beauty at Jincheng University of Science and Technology as soon as you enrolled. Your sister is even more beautiful than you, she must be some kind of celestial being!"
Hearing her roommate mention her sister, Mu Xiaoxi's face lit up with pride: "Of course! My sister is the most beautiful person in the world, and she's also gentle and kind. She's my favorite sister!"
Mu Xiaoxi's words made Mu Liuyun blush instantly.
Oh dear, I'm not that good anymore~
Although she was a little bothered that Mu Xiaoxi really introduced her to her roommates as an older sister, it wasn't a big problem. After all, with Mu Liuyun's appearance, it was inevitable that she would be treated as an older sister.
Thinking of this, Mu Liuyun took a few steps forward, preparing to greet Mu Xiaoxi.
As the older sister.
"What's your sister's name again? Lin Fangyi, right? That name sounds like one of the young ladies in the Lin family. Could it be that you, Xiaoxi, are also a heiress from a wealthy family?"
"Of course not! My sister is my sister, not some other person!"
Mu Xiaoxi's tone was very firm, but the content of her words seemed to downplay the main point.
Upon hearing this, Mu Liuyun, who was standing to the side, immediately stopped in her tracks.
Lin Fangyi.
It was an unfamiliar name to Mu Liuyun; at least in his memory, this name could not possibly belong to him.
In an instant, unpleasant associations flooded my mind.
Perhaps Lin Fangyi is the name of Mu Xiaoxi's older sister before she came to Old Man Mu's house, or perhaps Lin Fangyi, like several other people with the surname Lin, looks very much like Mu Liuyun.
Perhaps this younger sister she loves only sees her as a substitute for her older sister.
For some reason, Mu Liuyun suddenly felt a little short of breath. He didn't continue to approach Mu Xiaoxi, but turned around and walked out of the school.
His back looked rather disheveled at that moment, so much so that he didn't hear what Mu Xiaoxi's roommate was about to say.
"So your boyfriend's name is Liu Yun, right? I'm not saying this, but it sounds a bit girly."
"His name might sound a bit effeminate, but he's the most masculine person in the world!"
