Chapter 163: Leng Anzhi Returns to the Country

~5 min read 879 words

Mu Youyu naturally understood Lin Ning's thoughts, helplessly moving closer to her, "Ningning, it's fine, no matter what happens in the future, we're both in West City now, and even if we're not in the same city or country later, we can still meet."

Isn't seeing each other just a matter of saying a word, a journey?

Lin Ning had already sunk into her own emotions, "Best friends forever!"

Jiang Liangjin saw her approach and hugged the person beside him: "......"

He didn't speak.

Gu Xingnan leaned against the sofa back, his long fingers lightly tapping the tabletop, producing a clear sound.

He fell silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke to break the slightly melancholic atmosphere: "Actually, skipping a grade isn't bad either."

Yu Ci turned his head, "How?"

Gu Xingnan only looked at him, his gaze gentle, "Graduate early."

Go do what you want to do sooner.

Jiang Liangjin still understood Gu Xingnan somewhat; seeing his expression, his beautiful eyes flickered slightly, his gaze shifting between Gu Xingnan and Yu Ci, thoughtful.

Yu Ci smiled, "Alright, then let's work hard together."

A Jin and Youbao... never mind, each of them is extraordinarily talented.

Mu Youyu hadn't forgotten what he often said before, teasing, "A Ci doesn't need to work hard; anyway, his fate is to count money in the office."

Jiang Liangjin's cold voice cut in unexpectedly, delivering a precise jab: "In the future, you'll count the money wrong."

Lin Ning had also wanted to say something similar, but Jiang Liangjin beat her to it, looking at him with a resentful expression.

Yu Ci almost jumped up from his chair, indignantly retorting, "A Jin, how could I possibly miscount money! You're seriously underestimating me!"

It's just using a calculator to count!

Gu Xingnan, seeing this, quickly laughed and said, "It's fine, A Ci doesn't need to count money; now machines do the reconciliation, rest assured, there won't be any mistakes."

Jiang Liangjin said nothing.

Upon hearing that, Yu Ci slumped his shoulders, looking helpless, "... Then I can only sign documents and sleep in the office?"

Lin Ning immediately lifted her chin proudly, "Hey, I'm different—I have an older sister! My sister will look after me in the future!"

Yu Ci actually also wanted a biological sibling... but not Yu Cheng.

Hearing that, he couldn't help but feel envious as he tugged at Gu Xingnan beside him, "!! What's the big deal, Gu Xingnan also has one!"

Gu Xingnan nodded.

Mu Youyu sat to the side, listening to everyone's conversation, couldn't help but smile.

She had quite a few blood-related brothers.

There was also a cousin by marriage with no blood relation; recently they started chatting on their phones, and she felt it was nice.

Jiang Liangjin looked indifferent; he thought being an only child was pretty good.

If there were more siblings, it would be more troublesome.

Ye Zeli too.

As they chatted and laughed, the food in the bowls gradually dwindled.

Seeing that they had finished eating a while ago, Jiang Liangjin glanced at the time, "About time, shall we head back?"

Everyone nodded, got up, and left the restaurant.

Lin Ning still hooked her arm around Mu Youyu's, reluctantly rubbing against her, "Youbao, if you skip a grade, will you not have time to play with me?"

Mu Youyu laughed helplessly, "How could that be? I'm not about to ascend immediately; I'm still in the same city."

"Alright then!" Lin Ning finally felt a bit relieved, then turned to Ye Zeli, "Senior, then we..."

Ye Zeli nodded, "I'll see you home."

Gu Xingnan and Yu Ci together.

Mu Youyu's gaze naturally turned to Jiang Liangjin, and they exchanged a tacit look.

She tugged at his sleeve, "Let's go, A Jin!"

The following days.

Mu Youyu's fame at school grew increasingly; occasionally classmates would ask for her autograph, and some even mustered the courage to slip her love letters or similar items.

However, those who confessed to her face, Mu Youyu rejected them all without mercy.

Not knowing who secretly placed them in her drawer, she had someone look into those who delivered the love letters, then had the bodyguards politely turn them away.

After Jiang Liangjin found out, he directly sent people to "friendly" communicate with those alumni; from then on, no one dared to give Mu Youyu anything like that again.

The only thing that could be considered an incident was on Thursday afternoon, when Mu Youyu ran into her friend Mo Song and A Jin's aunt Cheng Siqing coming out of a store.

Besides that, nothing particularly special happened.

In the blink of an eye, it was Friday.

The day Leng Anzhi returned to the country.

Mu Youyu, Jiang Liangjin, Yu Ci, and Gu Xingnan had packed their things early; as soon as school let out, they got up to go to the airport to pick up Leng Anzhi.

To avoid being recognized by too many people and causing unnecessary trouble, Mu Youyu and Jiang Liangjin rarely wore masks, but because the boy had a head of wine-red hair.

Moreover, Gu Xingnan and Yu Ci stood shoulder to shoulder behind them.

The four of them still appeared quite conspicuous, drawing many curious or appreciative glances.
