"What's up?"
Ji Mushu raised her fair chin and asked.
"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?"
Yu Mobai said with a smile, "Shall we invite Haozi and Yike out for lunch? It's been a long time since the four of us got together."
"I don't have time, I have something to do at noon," Ji Mushu said.
"It's good that you're not going; I'll go with Senior Yu."
Chen Zhixi raised her eyebrows. "You're Yu's current girlfriend, right?"
Ji Mushu frowned slightly, glanced at Yu Mobai, and showed no desire to answer the question.
However, her gradually cooling face seemed to indicate that she was not at peace inside.
"Chen Zhixi, children shouldn't meddle in adult matters. Didn't your mother teach you that?"
Yu Mobai waved his hand impatiently, "Go cool off somewhere else."
"I came here today to see you."
Chen Zhixi seemed unaware of what rejection meant and continued to linger.
"You guys chat, I'm leaving now."
Looking at the young girl next to Yu Mobai, Ji Mushu felt a little sad and a little wronged.
Just a few months later, a girl he had never met before appeared in his life.
However, she wouldn't show it; she could only keep all her emotions inside.
"Senior Yu, your girlfriend doesn't want to eat with you, can I eat with you instead?"
Chen Zhixi asked with a smile, "Actually, I came here today just to have a meal with you."
"I don't want to eat with you."
Yu Mobai had a real headache dealing with Chen Zhixi, but he couldn't bring himself to scold or beat her, so he could only resort to a gentle approach: "You have your college entrance exam coming up, aren't you going back to study? Hurry up and go back."
"Senior Yu, I know you care about me, but all I want to do today is stay with you."
Ignoring Ji Mushu's expression, Chen Zhixi still tried to reach out and tug at his clothes.
However, Yu Mobai dodged it with a quick movement.
"Your mom will worry if you don't go home."
“I told my mom that I’m having dinner with a senior from university today, and she’s very reassured.”
Yu Mobai cursed under his breath, looked around, and saw Feng Linhao walking over from not far away, so he called him over.
"Mouse, come here."
"Mo Bai, I was just looking for you."
Feng Linhao gave a thumbs up, "You're really something, making such a big fuss again... Hmm, this girl looks familiar."
Ji Mushu was also nearby. He compared the two and thought that the unfamiliar girl was quite pretty, but she looked a bit immature. In comparison, Ji Mushu was prettier.

Yu Mobai felt no joy whatsoever. He looked at Chen Zhixi and said, "Didn't you want to eat? Let this senior show you around the university atmosphere first, then I'll treat you to a meal outside, and then you can go home."
"I don't!"
Chen Zhixi stubbornly said, "I want to eat with you, senior. You won't stop me, will you? Or are you afraid I'll steal your boyfriend?"
This time, the focus shifted to Ji Mushu. Ji Mushu pursed her lips and remained silent, unsure how to respond.
Feng Linhao, standing to the side, widened his eyes; this statement contained a lot of information.
He nudged Yu Mobai with his shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Mobai, what's going on? This girl looks familiar, who is she? Did you and Mushu make up?"
"This girl is the one you met at the bar with Zheng Xiaoyu last time. You're the one who caused this mess, so you'd better take care of her."
Yu Mobai muttered a curse under his breath, then said loudly, "Hey, Haozi, this senior high school girl is really looking forward to the university's academic atmosphere, why don't you take her for a stroll around?"
"Oh, okay."
Feng Linhao didn't know the reason, but he could roughly figure it out, especially since he recognized the little girl in front of him. "Junior, shall I show you around?"
"You're Yu's friend, the guy at the bar that night."
Chen Zhixi recognized him immediately, raising her eyebrows as she said, "If I hadn't intervened that day, you would have been beaten up. I saved you, and you're not going to help me?"
Feng Linhao was never good with words to begin with, and this rebuke only made things worse; he completely shut up.
Yu Mobai frowned, pointed at Ji Mushu and said, "The person I like is her, not you, understand?"
"Understood."
Chen Zhixi nodded, "Just because you don't like it now doesn't mean you won't like it in the future."
"Senior Yu, I'll follow you wherever you go, okay? I won't say anything."
Ji Mushu watched the whole scene with a cold face, her gaze sweeping over Chen Zhixi again, her heart filled with indescribable feelings.
However, it also strengthened her resolve to accept a certain idea, and she felt somewhat relieved.
She looked up and carefully examined Yu Mobai.
"Yu Mobai, call Dong Yike and let's go eat."
Yu Mobai was a little surprised, but he quickly covered it up, "Okay, wait for me."
As he spoke, he ran over and gave Qi Moliang some instructions, then led Feng Linhao and Ji Mushu out of the school.
"Isn't it okay if I don't call her Dong Yi?"
Yu Mobai didn't stop at the school gate, but Ji Mushu did.
"She's been very busy lately, so she's probably not at school at this time of day."
Yu Mobai thought to himself, "There's a little tagalong following me around."
Last time, he said in front of Chen Zhixi that Dong Yike was his girlfriend. If they were to meet again...
Chen Zhixi might say something unexpected.
With Ji Mushu still standing nearby, he dared not take that risk.
