Chapter 15

Nan Feng Mu Xi, in C City's entire upper-class circle, nobody is unaware of him.

Ranking second among C City's wealthy families, Mu Clan Conglomerate CEO Mu Nian's younger brother, the true beloved young master, nicknamed Xi Shao, has a bad temper—so-called 'explodes at the slightest provocation'.

At Nan Feng, he ranked highest among the four campus hunks, and due to some incident, he became the campus bully acknowledged by all.

He is a perennial figure on the hot-topic list, his popularity comparable to that of Lan Lin's Jiang Liangjin.

Right behind Mu Xi, firmly holding second place among Nan Feng's four campus hunks, is Song Lujing.

The younger brother of Song LuXiao of the third-ranked wealthy family in C City was also born with a silver spoon.

More importantly, Song Lujing's aunt was the youngest daughter most beloved by the Song family head back then.

She later married into the Mu family, becoming the wife of the previous generation's Mu family head, namely Mu Xi's mother.

The Song and Mu families are in-laws; Mu Xi and Song Lujing are blood-related brothers.

In C City, unless one's brain is truly broken, nobody dares to offend these two young masters.

……Mu Xi and Song Lujing have gone out together many times; before, they would occasionally bring their brothers, and the brothers would occasionally bring girls they knew.

But today, students from Nan Feng and Lan Lin schools saw Mu Xi and Song Lujing together for the first time, walking with a girl who appeared unusually close to them.

That scene was so jarring that, for a moment, the onlookers were stunned speechless.

Mu Youyu stepped up beside Mu Xi, her voice sweet: 'Brother.'

Mu Xi lowered his gaze at her, 'Youbao, going back?'

Song Lujing suggested: 'Xi Ge, let me take Youbao for a stroll nearby.'

Mu Xi's light-colored eyes hesitated.

Song Lujing quickly assured: 'Xi Ge! Rest assured, just a nearby stroll—she hasn't returned to West City in a long time; today she's back, so I'll take her around. My status guarantees nothing will happen; I'll definitely bring her back before eight.'

Mu Xi had no reason to refuse, after all he's still somewhat reliable: 'Fine, protect Youbao, don't take her to places like internet cafés; I have some matters to attend to, I'll head back first—bring her back early.'

He knew Song Lujing had a friend who ran a high-end internet café, which they often visited; he'd been there, the environment was good, but no matter what, his sister couldn't go there.

Having obtained the second brother's agreement, Mu Youyu obediently said goodbye; after Mu Xi gave his instructions, he drove off.

Mu Youyu followed Song Lujing into his sports car.

The three left; at the school gate, some students boldly whispered.

"She even got into Shao Jing's car! The passenger seat of Shao Jing's car has never had a girl before!"

"It seems only Xi Shao has ever sat in the passenger seat of Shao Jing's car; other brothers who want to sit there are told to get lost."

"They call it, 'You are not worthy.'"

"I heard that girl call Xi Shao 'brother'—tsk tsk, so shameless! Can she even hope to climb up to Xi Shao?"

"Why is Xi Shao so gentle with her, yet he doesn't even glance at other girls? When will Xi Shao smile at me?"

"Yo, look at that girl's sweet and innocent façade—who knows what she's really up to, putting on an act in front of Xi Shao and Shao Jing!"

"Who is that person? I've never seen someone like that in Lan Lin or Nan Feng."

"Could she be an elementary or middle school student? Even the neighboring middle school's elementary section doesn't have someone like her."

"You're not an idiot, are you? Your elementary school kid looks like a pure-hearted high school girl?"

"Stop calling her, she's a transfer student from our Lan Lin." A Lan Lin student couldn't stand it, stood up and said.

"A transfer student in May? Really amazing."

"And she's in Class A." The Lan Lin student continued.

"Isn't Lan Lin's elite Class A supposed to be entered solely by grades?"

"No, she's a Lan Lin transfer student? A first-year? In Lan Lin's first year, the only one who dares to dye hair is Jiang Shao, right?"

"Let's check the Lan Lin campus forum."

"……"

In the car, Mu Youyu tilted her head: 'Lu Jing gege, where are we going?'

Song Lujing replied with a smile: 'I'll take you around.'

Several minutes later, the car stopped in front of a large mall.

Song Lujing got out, opened Mu Youyu's car door, and extended his hand gentlemanly: 'Miss, please.'

Mu Youyu placed her hand in his and stepped down steadily.

After entering the mall, Song Lujing stayed by her side, patiently accompanying her as she wandered.

The two took the elevator to the third floor, where Mu Youyu looked at the various game facilities.

She had basically played them all in A City, yet she still went to the claw machine to give face.

"Brother, I want to play this!"

Song Lujing laughed, exchanged a pile of game tokens, and handed them to Mu Youyu: 'Sure, play as you like.'

Mu Youyu took the game tokens, focused on the dolls inside the claw machine, her slender hands manipulating the joystick, attempting to grab the bear doll.

After several tries, she still hadn't succeeded in grabbing a doll.

"……How is it the same as every time before?"

"I even thought I had improved."

Song Lujing stood aside, seeing his sister's drooping head, he softly comforted: 'Don't rush, take it slow.'

Mu Youyu nodded, inserted two more tokens, focused on controlling the joystick, adjusted left and right, then decisively pressed the button.

Just as the clawed doll was about to drop, the grip loosened and the doll slid back into the machine.

"Ah?"

Mu Youyu wouldn't believe it, grabbed a handful of tokens and tried another dozen times, still missing, so she switched to a different claw machine.

Still couldn't catch anything.

"Why does it keep making fake moves?"

Mu Youyu pursed her lips somewhat unhappily; clearly the doll could come down, but this machine always loosens its grip just as it's about to descend.

Quite a few people had gathered around, watching the claw machine's movements and snickering.

"Look at this older sister, she's tried twenty… thirty times and still can't catch it! So clumsy!" a little girl in a princess dress pointed at Mu Youyu, her bratty voice ringing out.

"Xiao Liu! You can't be rude like that!" the girl beside her, older, wearing a pink Lolita outfit with cute twin tails, scolded.

It was Luo Sha, who had recently run into Jiang Liangjin and a few others on the street.

Her face slightly flushed, she grabbed her sister and lectured, "Hurry up and apologize to the older sister! At home you can act however you like, but out here you need to behave, or I won't take you out to play next time."

The girl called Xiao Liu, however, showed no fear at all, shaking off her hand and making a big scary face at Luo Sha.

"I'm not apologizing! Mama said I'm the Luo family's most precious little miss, I can do whatever makes me happy! Pfft pfft pfft, Third Sister is naughty, bye-bye!"

She turned and ran off.

Luo Sha was nearly bursting with anger, but thinking her sister wouldn't get far, she forced down her fury, gave a strained smile toward Mu Youyu, and upon seeing her appearance, was startled.

Then she saw Song Lujing beside Mu Youyu, and was even more shocked—Young Master Jing, what is he doing here?!

Young Master Jing, hanging out at the mall with a girl? Totally out of character!

Could she be Young Master Jing's girlfriend?!

Luo Sha didn't dare dwell on it, hurriedly apologizing, "Sorry, sorry, my sister's been spoiled rotten by the family, she speaks without thinking—I hope you won't take it to heart."

Mu Youyu didn't take it to heart, continued competing with the elusive stuffed bear, and casually replied, "It's fine."

Seeing the scene, Song Lujing furrowed his brows, also not bothering to argue with a child, merely giving Luo Sha a cold glance from beside the kid.

Luo Sha was startled into a jitter, fearing that staying longer would cause offense, she hastily apologized again and hurriedly turned to chase after her sister.
