Leisure time always passes quickly, and the time spent with the people you love is always short. In the blink of an eye, it is the day for the Imperial Capital Normal University to start, and Qin Nianqing has to report to the school.

Mu Qingji naturally had to accompany him. He had completed his work long before school started, and now he felt relaxed sending Qin Nianqing to school.

"Brother, there's a spicy crayfish restaurant near the school," Qin Nianqing was sitting in the passenger seat, drinking from a straw while browsing the map. When he saw the spicy crayfish restaurant near his school, his eyes lit up. "Let's go eat together after we finish the paperwork. It seems that we don't have classes on the first day."

Mu Qingji gently rubbed Qin Nianqing's head and nodded, "Okay, if Guoguo likes it, we'll go."

Qin Nianqing smiled sweetly at Mu Qingji, then nodded and started watching videos on his phone. Mu Qingji pinched his cheek gently and concentrated on driving.

When they arrived at Imperial Capital Normal University, Mu Qingji parked the car in the parking lot. Qin Nianqing then got out of the car, carrying her small shoulder bag which contained important documents, while Mu Qingji's bag contained the admission letter.

Mu Qingji had just parked his car when a group of people in suits came over. The leader looked a little anxious, with a work badge around his neck. When he got closer, he turned out to be the president of Imperial Capital Normal University, with the vice president and department heads beside him.

"Mr. Mu, I didn't expect you to come to our Imperial Capital Normal University in person. We are so sorry for not welcoming you. We didn't take good care of you." The principal walked up to Mu Qingji and extended his hand to him with a smile. He looked humble and polite. "I am the principal of this school. I have heard of your name for a long time."

Mu Qingji nodded to the principal, and stretched out his hand, shaking hands with him briefly, and then said, "I just sent my brother here to report. You are too polite, principal."

The principal then turned his attention to Qin Nianqing. When he saw Qin Nianqing, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hey, isn't this our provincial champion? I didn't expect that he is President Mu's younger brother. He is really as outstanding as President Mu."

"Hello, Principal."

Qin Nianqing silently put the AD calcium milk in his hand behind him, looked at the principal and greeted him with a faint smile, then nodded to the people standing behind the principal.

"No need to trouble the principal to follow me. I will take my brother to complete the formalities and leave," Mu Qingji looked at the principal and the people behind him and said without question, "Please go back and take care of your own things."

Everyone present was a smart person, so how could they not hear the meaning of seeing him off in Mu Qingji's words? They immediately smiled and watched him and Qin Nianqing leave. After they walked away, the principal unconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"You guys spread the word and ask them to protect Qin Nianqing when they see him next time. His relationship with President Mu is not simple." The principal looked back at the vice-principal and the directors, then said earnestly, "Don't provoke him if you can. Otherwise, if something happens, I can't protect you."

Everyone present listened to the principal's words and nodded. They were all smart people, how could they not see the special relationship between Mu Qingji and Qin Nianqing? They all knew very well what the consequences of angering Mu Qingji would be, and they knew very well what to do and what not to do.

-

Qin Nianqing and Mu Qingji were walking on the campus, forming a beautiful scenery in themselves. They were both handsome, and now they were walking together, smiling at each other from time to time, occasionally talking, with their shoulders leaning against each other, giving others the feeling that a third party should not interfere, and in fact, this was indeed the case.

Mu Qingji and Qin Nianqing went through the admission procedures together, and then Mu Qingji took Qin Nianqing to his head teacher's office, met with the teacher, and signed in. Then, he took his books from the head teacher and left the school together.

"Brother, how about we put down our books, walk around the school, and then go out to eat crawfish?"

Qin Nianqing stood beside Mu Qingji, watching him putting his book in the back seat of the car, and asked this question on a whim.

Mu Qingji put the books in order, stood up, rubbed Qin Nianqing's head, and said lovingly, "Okay, if Guoguo likes it."

Qin Nian listened to Mu Qingji's words, smiled at him, then reached out and held his hand. Mu Qingji held his fingers tightly, closed the car door with his other hand, and pressed the lock on the car key.

The two walked out of the parking lot holding hands. Even when they were in a crowded place, they had no intention of letting go of each other's hands. They just kept walking and chatting holding hands.

Lin Yu, who had just come out of the playground to drink water and rest, saw Mu Qingji and Qin Nianqing walking on the edge of the playground not far away. He was slightly stunned. That person was... Qin Nianqing? Was the person next to him Mu Qingji?

As the son of the principal, Lin Yu is very clear about some complex and changeable characters and their relationships. However, he does not pay too much attention to them, but his friends around him do not think so.

"Old Xu, do you think those two people who just walked by look familiar?"

One of the friends leaned on the shoulder of another friend, drinking water and asking a question that seemed strange. The friend Xu Qi looked in the direction Zhang Jiang pointed. There were many people in that direction. He didn't see Mu Qingji and Qin Nianqing, so he pushed his hand away and raised his eyebrows and said:

"Zhang Jiang, where are those two people you are talking about? There are so many people here, where can they put them?"

"Over there, the one in the suit, do you see him?"

Seeing that Xu Qi didn't see it, Zhang Jiang stretched out his hand with great effort to point it out to him. Xu Qi followed his line of sight, but before he saw anything, Lin Yu blocked their sight and said with a serious face, "Don't look around."

The two men knew Lin Yu very well. He was usually gentle and generous, and he loved to laugh, rarely showing a serious expression. But at this moment, he suddenly frowned and asked them not to look around. He must know some secret that they didn't know. The two men immediately retracted their gazes and dared not to look around.

Lin Yu had just blocked Xu Qi and Zhang Jiang's sight when Mu Qingji, who was walking beside Qin Nianqing, cast an overly deep gaze in their direction.

When he only saw Lin Yu's back, he paused slightly, then retracted his gaze. Qin Nianqing noticed that he was looking over there, so he looked over there with some confusion, but didn't see anything special, so he asked him curiously.

"Brother, what were you looking at just now?"

Qin Nianqing held Mu Qingji's hand and leaned his whole body on him. If there weren't so many students here, he would have hung on him directly. This shows how much Qin Nianqing depends on Mu Qingji.

"Nothing." Mu Qingji hugged Qin Nianqing's shoulders, gently rubbed his head, and said softly, "Where else do you want to go? Go to the school cafeteria, or go directly outside the school to eat crayfish?"

"Brother, let's go to the cafeteria and have a look! Maybe there are crayfish in the cafeteria too?"

Speaking of the cafeteria, Qin Nianqing's eyes lit up instantly. Mu Qingji pinched his cheek, nodded, and said gently, "Okay."

-

"Lin Yu, what's wrong? This is..." Xu Qi saw Mu Qingji and Qin Nianqing walking away, then he looked at Lin Yu and said with a puzzled look, "Do you know the identities of those two people just now? Are they of high status or something? You seem quite nervous."

Lin Yu turned around and leaned against the guardrail. He reached out to pick up a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, squinted his eyes and took a sip. Seeing him like this, Xu Qi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you suddenly silent? You look so serious."

"Old Xu, please stop bothering him. Just by looking at the man in the suit just now, I know that he is not a simple person," Zhang Jiang put his arm on Xu Qi's shoulder again and said while drinking a drink, "Every piece of jewelry on that man costs no less than 10,000 yuan. It's obvious that he is either rich or noble. Can't you see that?"

After listening to Zhang Jiang's words, Xu Qi kicked him directly. It seemed that Zhang Jiang had expected Xu Qi to kick him, and the moment Xu Qi raised his leg, he reached out and grabbed him.

"Hey, you have such weak arms and legs, and you still want to kick me," Zhang Jiang pulled Xu Qi's legs and smiled at him with a smug look on his face. His smile was really cunning and mean, "You little brat, you can't kick me, I caught you."

"Zhang Jiang, you die!"

Xu Qi stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Jiang's jersey collar, twisted his neck with a ferocious look, and used a reverse chokehold to weaken his strength. Zhang Jiang grabbed his arms with both hands and slapped them hard, "Stop, stop, stop! I can't breathe!"

"Call me daddy, and I'll let you go."

Xu Qi was not at all soft-hearted towards him and even at this time he did not forget to take advantage of him verbally in order to avenge having his leg pulled. Zhang Jiang was flexible and he kept calling out "Dad" over and over again.

Xu Qi let him go contentedly and kicked him in the butt. Zhang Jiang almost fell to the ground and turned around to quarrel with Xu Qi again. The two had long forgotten the questions they wanted to ask Lin Yu just now. They were making a lot of noise at this moment, which made Lin Yu extremely disgusted.

Lin Yu screwed the cap on the mineral water bottle, watched the game in silence for a while, then picked up his coat and bag, turned and walked towards the principal's office. By the time Xu Qi and Zhang Jiang finished their fight, they were no longer in sight.

"Hey, where did Lin Yu go?"

“I don’t know.”

-

Lin Yu walked to the teachers' office building, but unexpectedly, when he turned the corner, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Qin Nianqing standing under a sycamore tree and looking down at his phone from the balcony of the corridor. Mu Qingji, who was supposed to be by his side, had gone somewhere.

Lin Yu stopped unconsciously. He looked quietly at Qin Nianqing not far away, his eyes narrowed, and his memory went back to the Mathematical Olympiad when he was twelve years old. At that time, Qin Nianqing, who was only ten years old, was as eye-catching as he is now.

Before meeting Qin Nianqing, Lin Yu always thought that all the handsome boys in this world were more feminine, but after meeting Qin Nianqing, this idea of ​​his was completely overturned.

The ten-year-old Qin Nianqing was wearing a suit and overalls, looking like a noble little prince. Whether it was the way he spoke or the way he did things, there was nothing feminine about him. Moreover, his firm attitude when answering questions was even more surprising.

He was like a beam of colorful light, quietly and silently spreading into Lin Yu's barren inner world, adding a bold and colorful stroke to his colorless world.

After that Mathematical Olympiad, Lin Yu completely remembered this boy who was two years younger than him but very smart and capable. It was the first time he took the initiative to make friends with someone and he took the initiative to say hello to him. What did he say at that time?

By the way, he was standing in front of Qin Nianqing at that time, stretched out his hand to him, and took the initiative to say, "Hello, I'm Lin Yu, can we be friends?"

The ten-year-old boy seemed stunned for a moment, then gave him a warm and friendly smile, his eyes shining at that time. He held his hand and spoke slowly, his voice gentle and polite.

"Of course, hello, I'm Qin Nianqing, nice to meet you, Lin Yu."

Lin Yu always thought that his name was ordinary and unpleasant, but when Qin Nianqing read it out loud, it sounded unexpectedly beautiful. His ears turned red. He wanted to say something more, but at this time Mu Qingji came over.

Qin Nianqing's smile when facing Mu Qingji was sincere and trusting. Compared with his smile when face to face, the difference was too big. This difference was probably the difference between an acquaintance and a stranger, but it was enough to make him sad.

After returning, Lin Yu checked a lot of things before he knew Qin Nianqing's true identity. At the same time, he also knew Mu Qingji's identity. Only then did he realize that the gap between them was not just in family background, but even in status.

Lin Yu stood on the balcony, looking at Qin Nianqing who was playing with his mobile phone under the parasol tree. There was an unclear emotion in his eyes. Perhaps his gaze was too intense, Qin Nianqing unconsciously raised her head and looked in his direction, and their eyes met unexpectedly.

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment and was about to look away, but he saw Qin Nian leaning towards him and waving with a friendly smile on his face. Lin Yu paused slightly, but quickly reacted, raised his head towards him and nodded.

Qin Nianqing smiled friendly again, then turned around and saw someone. He gave that person a dependent smile and opened his arms. When the other person approached, he suddenly jumped up and threw himself into the other person's arms.

This person was none other than Mu Qingji. He was holding a bag of things in one hand, which looked like snacks and drinks. He was not with Qin Nianqing just now, probably because he went out to buy things.

At this moment, Mu Qingji was holding Qin Nianqing, who was hanging on him, with one hand. He said something to him, which made Qin Nianqing laugh. He then held his cheeks and kissed his lips and cheeks affectionately.

The relationship between the two was not concealed at all, and was laid out so openly in front of outsiders. The person who gave Qin Nianqing the courage to do this was Mu Qingji.

Lin Yu watched the couple go away and remained silent for a long time on the balcony of the corridor. Perhaps, he was the happiest now.
