Xiao Wuxin is a force to be reckoned with; one of him is worth ten!
In Xu Zhuohua's mind, as long as Xiao Wuxin agreed to help, Cheng Muyun would have been redeemed.
Since history can be changed, out of selfishness, I should only save Cheng Muyun.
Xu Zhuohua silently prayed to heaven.
Aurora College was located in the French Concession, and the French Concession was full of cafes.
Cheng Muyun came to pick up Xu Zhuohua again. This time, he saw Xiao Wuxin with his fiancée and felt a little jealous, but he didn't know what was going on between the two of them. He insisted on going to a coffee shop for a drink.
Xu Zhuohua actually wanted to sit in the same booth as Xiao Wuxin, but Cheng Muyun pulled her over.
"When did your relationship become so good?"
Xu Zhuohua and Xiao Wuxin exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh. "I took classes with Senior Brother Xiao, so we naturally became familiar with each other."
Cheng Muyun frowned, raised an eyebrow at Xiao Wuxin, and asked, "Ze Peng, aren't you the librarian at Aurora University? How come you have time to attend classes?"
Xiao Wuxin glanced at Xu Zhuohua, feigning mystery, "You really want to know?"
Cheng Muyun had no idea what the two were up to, but he simply said, "Of course."
Xu Zhuohua pressed down on Cheng Muyun's wrist, "Then just listen to what we're talking about."
Cheng Muyun's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the slender white fingers resting on his wrist, he smiled and said, "Didn't you two finish chatting in the library?"
Xu Zhuohua: "No, it's like meeting a kindred spirit at the ends of the earth, where we can talk late into the night by candlelight."
Cheng Muyun frowned: "You still want to have a late-night talk by candlelight?"
Xu Zhuohua shook her head, "Of course not. My reputation is already so bad right now, I don't want to make Senior Brother Xiao's reputation even worse."
Xiao Wuxin immediately denied it: "We don't know the whole story. Let outsiders say whatever they want. Don't take it to heart. Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are?"
Cheng Muyun suddenly realized that letting Xiao Wuxin take care of Xu Zhuohua was a mistake.
Heaven knows how the two of them hit it off so well, and Xu Zhuohua is too closed-minded; she attracts a lot of men.
Even Xiao Wuxin, whom Cheng Muyun trusted the most, fell for Xu Zhuohua's charm.
So he kept thinking about how to make Xiao Wuxin lose interest in Xu Zhuohua, to the point that he didn't hear what the two of them were talking about.
Xu Zhuohua nudged Cheng Muyun, "Cheng Muyun, who do you think is right?"
They were just talking about the title "Sick Man of East Asia." Knowing that Cheng Muyun was very sensitive about opium, Xu Zhuohua deliberately chose this topic.
Cheng Muyun was taken aback for a moment, then said, "You're right."
Xu Zhuohua smiled like a flower, "Right? I told you, we should start by improving the physical fitness of the people. Only strong people will have the courage and strength to face the invaders."
Xiao Wuxin said, "Alright, workers are the future of this country. I'll write another article when I get back."
Xu Zhuohua thought Cheng Muyun had taken her words to heart and was very happy, thinking, "I knew it! Getting Xiao Wuxin here would definitely work!"
It seems I've taken another step forward in winning over Cheng Muyun.
Xu Zhuohua's mouth was dry from talking. He picked up his coffee, took a small sip, and almost vomited.
It's so bitter!
It turned out that what she had drunk before was diluted, and this sip just now was like eating a mouthful of Chinese medicine residue, which made Xu Zhuohua cough continuously.
Cheng Muyun patted her on the shoulder, "I knew you wouldn't like this kind of foreign stuff. I don't know why you two insisted on meeting here. You might as well go to a teahouse and have some good tea."
Xu Zhuohua nodded, "Let's go to the teahouse next time."
Cheng Muyun was somewhat surprised, "You guys have a next time?"
Xiao Wuxin said, "Yes, Zhuohua and I have a lot to talk about."
Cheng Muyun put his hand on Xu Zhuohua's shoulder and asked, "Do you two have so much to talk about?"
Xu Zhuohua said, "Yes."
Cheng Muyun looked extremely unwilling. "What if I come to pick you up every day from now on?"
Xu Zhuohua's eyes lit up. "That's even better! Let's go to the teahouse together."
Cheng Muyun smiled bitterly. He didn't know if Xu Zhuohua was genuinely unable to understand or not. He didn't want Xu Zhuohua to stay with Xiao Wuxin. Women would all be attracted to a pretty boy like Xiao Wuxin who came from a good family.
"You can't..."
Cheng Muyun was interrupted halfway through his sentence by Luo Yunqiao.
"Brother Mu Yun, what brings you to my coffee shop?"
As Luo Yunqiao approached and saw Xu Zhuohua, the smile on his face faded slightly.
"Yunqiao? This is your shop?"
Luo Yunqiao stood next to Cheng Muyun and looked at Xu Zhuohua. "Yes, I like to drink coffee, so I opened a small shop."
Luo Yunqiao looked at Xiao Wuxin, "Ze Peng, you're here too. It's been a long time."
Xu Zhuohua thought to herself, "So they all know each other."
Xiao Wuxin moved a little further in and sat opposite Xu Zhuohua. "Hello, Yunqiao, it's been a long time."
Luo Yunqiao sat down. "Yes, we haven't seen each other since I went to study abroad. Five or six years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Xiao Wuxin smiled and said, "It has indeed been a long time."
Xu Zhuohua tried to see something unusual on Xiao Wuxin's face. The son of the Minister of Education and the daughter of a school board member should be a perfect match. Why did Xiao Wuxin seem to have no interest in this young lady at all?
Because Xu Zhuohua was staring straight at Xiao Wuxin, Luo Yunqiao assumed that Xu Zhuohua was interested in Xiao Wuxin and that her gaze kept shifting between the two of them.
Luo Yunqiao's hostility towards Xu Zhuohua wasn't that great.
"Miss Xu, how does it taste?"
Xu Zhuohua awkwardly wiped the corner of her mouth, "I don't like it."
Luo Yunqiao smiled and said, "It's alright, you'll get used to it after a few more drinks."
