Chapter 231

Shen Ningmu gave Jiang Su a look, and only then did he realize he had just been taken in by Song Lujing; he could only force an awkward laugh, indicating that Mu Xin didn't want to speak.

How could she not understand? She simply turned her head away speechlessly and began eating.

Mu Youyu's bowl was never empty; whenever she glanced at a dish for two seconds, Jiang Liangjin and Mu Xin beside her would immediately serve her some.

The servant was very perceptive, putting on gloves to peel shrimp for her.

Mu Youyu (line3)

Shen Ningmu watched her like that, the smile at the corner of his mouth never fading; as he shifted his gaze, he suddenly noticed something.

From start to finish, Mu Xin's attitude toward Jiang Liangjin was consistently peaceful.

Even when Jiang Liangjin served dishes to Mu Youyu, he would casually push the plate toward the two of them.

This was utterly unlike the cold, wary image she had imagined; it was as if they were two different people.

Song Zeyi (line18)

Bai Yun (line32)

Leng Yueyou (line32)

Originally intending to say, "Then let A Jin and A Yu go to school together later," but when the words reached her lips, she swallowed them back, startled, she paused, unable to help asking again: "Ah? You're really not busy?"

Liu Yunmi (line42)

Mu Xi (line47)

Nan Feng (line47)

He knew that this week's sports meet, he had specially set aside five mornings to accompany his younger sister playing at school.

It's just a bit bitter for Song Zeyi.

Shen Ningmu quickly changed tone: "Then later A Jin and you will take Mu Youyu to school together."

Mu Xin felt this remark superfluous: "Good."

Shen Ningmu was certain; this person seemed to have started to change their view of the son.

Otherwise, given his temperament, he would either not agree.

Or else, out of respect for Mu Youyu's face, they would agree, but their expression would be inscrutable; it would be impossible for them to be this calm.

Shen Ningmu laughed heartily: "Good, good, good, come visit often when you have time!"

The more she thought about it, the happier she felt; her son's progress simply exceeded expectations.

Mu Youyu, this little treasure, had already been optimistic about him, but she even won over her three biological brothers, especially this fraternal twin brother.

You should know, this person is the grandson most beloved by Mu grandfather, the one raised from childhood by the maternal grandfather, and the grandson most cared for by Song grandmother.

With him and Mu Youyu together facing Jiang Liangjin, those elders will naturally give Jiang Liangjin more face in the future; this is more useful than anything.

Mu Xin listened to Shen Ningmu's enthusiastic words, gaze falling on the younger sister beside them who was talking with Jiang Liangjin; they slightly nodded to Shen Ningmu and, out of politeness, replied, "Okay, Aunt."

He mainly still looked at his younger sister.

After the meal, they rested briefly, then several people prepared to head to school.

At the check-in desk, Bai Yun and Leng Yueyou were doing warm-up exercises; seeing Mu Youyu's group approach, they immediately waved, "Little Youyu, hurry over and cheer for me! I will definitely get first place today!"

Leng Yueyou also lifted their chin, tone a bit proud: "Don't worry, first place is definitely mine; last year I was the one who got it."

Mu Youyu asked with a smile: "You're running the 800 meters?"

Bai Yun: "Yes!"

She said while extending a hand to link arms with Mu Youyu, shaking it, her voice full of excitement: "When I run later, can you go over there and find a few drafts? Write my name on them; when I hear it, I'll definitely run faster!"

Leng Yueyou snorted, "Shouting won't help; strength speaks for itself—no matter how fast you are, you can't surpass me."

"Who can't surpass whom isn't certain yet!" Bai Yun immediately glared back.

A hint of gunpowder flavor instantly sparked between them.

Those who had come specially to watch Class A turned their faces away, unable to bear watching.

What are these two people's personas?

Liu Yunmi chuckled, not saying much more.

Mu Youyu quickly smoothed things over, smiling as they patted Bai Yun's hand and then looked at Leng Yueyou, saying, "You two are incredibly awesome; no matter who gets first place, you're our class's pride!"

Her words were flawless, making both of them feel somewhat relieved.

Bai Yun snorted, stopped arguing with Leng Yueyou, and instead pulled Mu Youyu to look at the check-in list.

Jiang Liangjin and Mu Xin followed behind, while Qing An was seated in the Class A spot.

Mu Xi and Song Lujing still wanted to watch the competition, so they went to Nan Feng.

Not long after, the broadcast announced the notice for the women's 800-meter preliminary race.

Bai Yun and Leng Yueyou exchanged a glance, immediately composed themselves, and quickly walked to the designated team to take their places.

Mu Youyu followed the crowd to the edge of the track; Jiang Liangjin, worried she might get squeezed, reached out and gently wrapped an arm around her waist, shielding her between Jiang Liangjin and Mu Xin.

Mu Xin also naturally shifted inward, blocking those pushing from behind her.

"Go!" Mu Youyu waved vigorously at the two on the track.

Bai Yun heard the sound, immediately turned and waved at her, shouting with full vigor, "Definitely cheer! Xia Chaoyi, unfurl the banner to bursting! Can't lack momentum!"

Xia Chaoyi was holding the red-background gold-character banner reading "No strength if slower than Class A" with the sports committee, one at each end; hearing this, they immediately replied, "On the way! I'll make sure you see it crystal clear!"

The two stretched the banner straight and held it high; the red background with gold characters shone especially bright in the sunlight, drawing sidelong glances from students of other classes around.

Many couldn't help laughing out loud, and secretly envied Class A's bold confidence.

"Damn, our class still has zero points; we dare not be too showy."

"Class A starts each day with 20 points."

"Same as last year."

"If tomorrow's final directly blows us away…"

I also want a pure gold badge.

""

After the athletes started running, Mu Youyu found a few interesting cheering scripts and sent them all to Luo Yi.

Luo Yi and another female student in the class are responsible for reading the scripts.

Writing the scripts doesn't earn extra points; it's just for fun.

So basically all the scripts sent from Class A were read.

A clear voice rang across the entire playground: 'To the wind-chasing girl Bai Yun of Grade 2 Class A, the track is your battlefield, the wind is your wings……Go on, we will always be your strongest support!'

Bai Yun on the track heard this, stumbled on her feet, and almost slipped directly.

She quickly steadied herself, gritted her teeth, and sped up to chase after Leng Yueyou ahead.

Mu Youyu, Jiang Liangjin, and Mu Xin all sat at Class A's spot beside the track.

Liu Yunmi went to pace the 800-meter run, and most people went to the Art Competition or to accompany it.

There were many empty seats.

Qing An alone occupied two seats, sitting askew, 'Your classmates aren't just ordinarily talented.'

Someone from Class A responded: 'Of course, our class members are talented scholars!'

Mu Youyu glanced at him sitting there, afraid he'd fall and eat a mouthful of dust, 'How are you like Brother Lu Jing?'

Mu Xin said nothing.

Jiang Liangjin placed the small cake he had been holding into her hand, 'Want to eat?'

'Eat!'

Mu Youyu took it and suggested, 'Right, let's go check out Peaceweave later?'
