Mo Yuan had never been afraid of his opponent in the first place, after all, he had always been a fearless person. Now that he had lost his support, his opponent could no longer stir up any trouble! So Mo Yuan did not hesitate to completely put the matter out of his mind and no longer thought about it.
Just then, Lin Xue slowly woke up. She was still sleepy and had no idea what was happening outside. Seeing her like this, Mo Yuan felt a pang of pity and decided not to tell her about these troubles for the time being, so as not to spoil her good mood.
After a quick breakfast, the two found staying at home incredibly boring, so they decided to go for a stroll together. Stepping outside, the bright sunshine bathed them, and a gentle breeze caressed their faces, making them feel refreshed and invigorated. As they wandered through the streets and alleys, their mood grew increasingly cheerful, and even their steps became lighter. They chatted and laughed along the way, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Although they strolled around for quite a while, they didn't buy much, simply enjoying the leisurely time. Before they knew it, time had slipped away, the sun was high in the sky, and it was almost lunchtime. Recalling how he had missed going to school yesterday for some reason, leaving him with a slight regret, Mo Yuan couldn't help but suggest, "How about we go to the school cafeteria for another meal today? It'll be a chance to relive those wonderful school days." Lin Xue readily agreed, expressing her delight in going with Mo Yuan.
And so, hand in hand, the two walked intimately toward Lin Zhennan's school. When they arrived, it was just after school, and the campus was bustling with activity as students flocked to the playground. Even so, Lin Xue and Mo Yuan's figures still drew considerable attention. They looked like a perfect couple, the man handsome and dashing, the woman charming and lovely, attracting countless glances as they walked.
The campus was bustling with people, but given the current social climate, even couples in love often acted discreetly and furtively. How could they be as uninhibitedly affectionate as Mo Yuan and Lin Xue?
That's why, the moment they appeared on campus, they instantly attracted everyone's attention, becoming the focus of everyone's gaze. As more and more people paid attention to them, Lin Xue finally realized that something was amiss. After all, they had become accustomed to their overly intimate interactions before, and this time, upon entering the campus, she had become careless and maintained that intimate posture, unknowingly becoming an oddity in everyone's eyes.
She hurriedly let go of Mo Yuan's arm, but even so, the two still walked side by side to the cafeteria.
After entering the cafeteria, they carefully selected their favorite dishes and then found a relatively quiet corner to sit down. Although they were occasionally met with curious and inquisitive glances, this did not dampen their spirits as they enjoyed their meal.
The two fed each other while chatting and laughing in hushed tones, creating a very harmonious atmosphere. After finishing their meal, they strolled hand in hand across the empty playground.
A gentle breeze caressed their faces, bringing a touch of coolness; the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, illuminating their intertwined figures. However, their blissful moment was short-lived. The strange gazes of bystanders made them feel extremely uncomfortable, and they eventually had no choice but to hastily flee the playground.
The moment they stepped out of the school gate, the two couldn't help but smile at each other. Lin Xue blushed and said coquettishly, "Oh dear, we must be more low-key next time! It's so embarrassing! So many people were staring at us!" Mo Yuan scratched his head and chuckled, replying nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? They're just envious and jealous!" With that, he tightly grasped Lin Xue's hand, as if declaring their sweet love to the whole world.
Although Lin Xue felt a little shy, this feeling gradually lessened after they stepped out of the campus. After all, they were away from the familiar environment and surrounded by strangers, and her embarrassment at holding hands no longer seemed so noticeable. So, with a slightly flushed face, Lin Xue gently and tacitly allowed Mo Yuan to take her hand.
The two strolled hand in hand down the street, savoring this peaceful and tender moment. The shops on both sides of the street were bustling with activity and filled with a dazzling array of goods. Yet, at this moment, they saw only each other, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Hao Fengshan listened quietly as Li Wenjie reported his work. After Li Wenjie finished, Hao Fengshan nodded in satisfaction, indicating his approval: "Hmm, in this way, we've repaid him a favor. When we meet with that kid Bao Ruijin, we'll have something to say. You handled this matter exceptionally well! What are your thoughts on Mo Yuan?"
Li Wenjie was taken aback when Hao Fengshan suddenly asked for his opinion on Mo Yuan.
He pondered for a moment, then carefully organized his thoughts, offering a fair assessment: "In my opinion, Mo Yuan is truly remarkable! His exceptional talent goes without saying, but more importantly, he's incredibly upright. He would never stand idly by when faced with injustice, but would always step forward. Furthermore, he's exceptionally brave and fearless, never flinching in the face of difficulties and obstacles. He's also very capable and responsible in his work..."
Just as this man was praising Mo Yuan at length, Hao Fengshan interrupted him mercilessly: "Alright, alright, stop with the empty platitudes!"
Although Hao Fengshan spoke sternly, Li Wenjie keenly sensed that the other party was actually in a fairly good mood. He breathed a slight sigh of relief, composed himself, and reorganized his words: "This young man is no ordinary person. I'm telling you the truth, without a single lie. He's incredibly intelligent and quick-witted, very meticulous, and quite shrewd. If I hadn't already confirmed that he came from that obscure little mountain village in Xiangcheng, I would never have believed it! How could such a humble village produce such a person? Anyone would think that this young man is destined for great success and rapid advancement!"
