~7 min read 1,295 words

Jiang Liangjin turned his head and glanced at him, Expression showing a well-behaved look, "Sorry, Lujing-gege, I'm not free."

After saying that, she lifted her foot and strode toward Mu Youyu, her wine-red messy hair lifted by the wind a bit, leaving only a carefree silhouette for Song Lujing.

Not seeing the carefree look, only feeling like he deserved a beating, Song Lujing clenched his fists.

He shouldn't have spoken; it was purely self-inflicted boredom!

Infuriating!

Mu Youyu quickly went up to meet her, her ponytail already restyled by Mo Song into princess hair, the princess-cut bangs clipped up partly.

Jiang Liangjin stopped his steps, "Have you been waiting long?"

"No." Mu Youyu's voice soft, "You ran so fast, just now you almost flew."

Bai Yun beside them held up a camera, clicking nonstop.

Jiang Liangjin was amused by her, naturally taking hold of Mu Youyu's wrist, his fingertip feeling the bracelet engraved with "J" and "Y" on her wrist, his smile deepening, "What's the reward?"

Mu Youyu tilted her head, thought, then leaned close to him, "Reward you……have dinner with me tonight?"

Jiang Liangjin's Adam's apple moved, just about to respond, when a moderate cough interrupted him.

The two turned their heads and saw Mu Xin standing not far away with arms crossed, his ice-blue eyes looking at them half-smiling, "Mind the occasion, this is the playground."

Mu Xi and Song Lujing stood at his side, the former raising an eyebrow teasingly, "My brother's still here, don't be so blatant."

Song Lujing even more exaggeratedly covered his eyes, fingers leaving a slit, shouting, "Can't see, can't see, I'm jealous! Youbao didn't even say to treat me to a meal!"

Mu Youyu quickly pulled her hand back from Jiang Liangjin's grasp, "How can you be so annoying! I and A Jin did nothing! We just said we'd have a meal!"

Mu Xin didn't say they were going to the Jiang family old residence for dinner tonight.

Seeing her bashful look, Jiang Liangjin's smile deepened, he looked up at Mu Xin, "Xin-xin gege, let's go buy water."

Mu Xin gave a faint "hmm", his gaze sweeping between the two, then said nothing more.

Having gotten consent, Jiang Liangjin naturally took Mu Youyu's hand, turned and walked toward the small mall outside the playground, leaving the three behind staring at each other.

The sports committee member looked at the unopened water in Jiang Liangjin's hand, scratched his head in confusion, "Didn't you just get water? Why go buy more?"

These were over a hundred bottles of mineral water specially moved in by Liu Yunmi for the class to quench thirst.

She is now the person in charge of registering rankings for most events, busy to the point of not touching the ground, so she didn't come to watch the relay race.

But for the 800m, 1000m, and 1500m races, she will definitely come to cheer.

Last year it was the same; she held a megaphone, her cheers could drown out half the playground.

Mu Xi clicked his tongue, "This kid, his guts are getting bigger and bigger."

Mu Xin watched the two's joined backs as they left, saying nothing.

Song Lujing came over, bumped his shoulder, "Xinbao ah, you're the gatekeeper, isn't your supervision too lax? Just letting them go out alone like that?"

"He signed it." Mu Xin uttered four words lightly.

Mu Xi and Song Lujing both froze, the latter even more bewildered, "What word?"

"Wash hands." Mu Xin said no more, turned and walked toward the other side of the playground, leaving only an aloof back.

Song Lujing realized, hurriedly chased after him, shouting while walking, "Hey, are you the younger brother or am I! With the treasure gone, you don't want to deal with people!"

Mu Xi also caught up, "... What's up?"

The air conditioning in the small shop was blasting.

Mu Youyu watched Jiang Liangjin take the yogurt she loved, her fingertips still rummaging in the fridge, then pulled out a bottle of chilled mineral water.

She took it with her fingers, felt no chill, so she swapped it for an even colder bottle inside.

Jiang Liangjin noticed her small movement, didn't say much, asked, "What are the brothers drinking?"

"Yogurt yogurt!" Mu Youyu almost blurted out, saying this, her tone a little resentful, "They love drinking yogurt the most!"

After the fridge was moved away, within a month the house had another new large-capacity fridge.

Mu Youyu deliberately stocked the fridge with various yogurt flavors, but each time she returned home, the few bottles she hid in the back always ended up with just one lonely bottle left.

Later, hearing Qing Ma's explanation, she learned it was taken secretly by a few brothers, ostensibly to help her share the burden, lest she drink too much and get sick of it.

Mu Xi drank the most!

Saying that, she took another five bottles of yogurt from the fridge, added her own six, and stuffed them all into Jiang Liangjin's arms, then pointed to the beverage area, adding, "Second brother is a rice bucket, drink two bottles, then get Xin-xin gege a drink."

A passerby eavesdropping nearby almost laughed out loud hearing the words "rice bucket".

Jiang Liangjin nodded in agreement, hugging the yogurt in his arms, then grabbed two bottles of sparkling water before going to checkout.

When the two returned with their purchases, they saw Mu Xin now had an extra person standing beside him.

That person had a head of black curly hair, the bangs slightly messy on the forehead, revealing a pair of beautiful gold eyes.

He sat with legs crossed on the lounge chair, elbows propped on his knees, palms supporting his chin, speaking intermittently with Mu Xi, his expression carrying an indescribable melancholy.

Moreover, his face was extremely handsome, skin fair, lip color light, naturally bearing a fragile beauty that drew many from Class A to gather nearby, whispering.

It was Qing An.

"Qing An-gege, how did you come?" Mu Youyu happily walked forward.

Qing An lifted his eyes to see her, his originally melancholic expression instantly collapsed, as if he had found his mainstay, sighing, "Boring, boring, so boring, I just woke up and Xianxian returned to B Shi, no one to play with me, I'm bored staying alone, so I came to school to find you."

Jiang Liangjin raised his eyebrows, stepped forward, and distributed the yogurt in his arms to several people.

Mu Xi and Song Lujing seeing the yogurt, their faces showed a hint of helplessness.

They've recently been drinking yogurt to the point of getting a bit sick of it; if not for the sister buying it specially, they probably wouldn't even want to touch it.

Mu Xin, on the other hand, readily accepted that bottle of lemon-flavored sparkling water, twisted open the cap, and took a sip.

Qing An, however, his eyes lit up, his previously listless spirit instantly brightening considerably, he hurriedly took the yogurt, flashed a brilliant smile at Jiang Liangjin, sincerely saying, "Thank you, good person!"

Jiang Liangjin looked at his instantly brightening face, paused a moment, then gave a faint nod, tone polite, "You're welcome, Qing An-gege."

Mu Xi glanced at the time, said, "Treasure, I and Song Lujing still have to go to the competition, heading back first?"

Mu Youyu nodded, "I'll go with you!"

These past few years, the two schools' sports meet has allowed outsiders to enter.

But each school's Art Competition is still being held on their own fields, the security at the school gates is twice as usual, you can see them almost everywhere you go, and they check especially strictly.

"Good." Mu Xi rubbed her hair, her eyes were full of doting.

Song Lujing flexed his wrist, "Watch me blast them!"
