~7 min read 1,323 words

Hey, not bad, you took a good shot. A satisfied male voice with a hint of laughter suddenly sounded behind Bai Yun.

Bai Yun almost died of fright, her fingertip trembled, but luckily the camera didn't fall to the ground.

Still shaken, she turned around and collided with a pair of smiling eyes.

Mu Youyu heard the familiar voice, and her eyes lit up; she instinctively turned her head.

She saw a handsome young man standing behind Bai Yun, playing with a pair of black sunglasses in his hand, his fingers slender and joints distinct.

Just that casual gesture made several girls who were secretly glancing blush, lower their heads, yet they couldn't help stealing a look at him from the corner of their eyes, covering their mouths as they whispered.

"Who is this again? At the young lady's last public banquet, there were too many people, I couldn't remember them all."

"I know, I know, this is Chu Chu's brother!"

"Wow, so this is Chu Chu's super awesome CEO brother!"

"Chu Chu's boss, he's so young and already made the company so big..."

""

"Song Yusui-gege!" Mu Youyu exclaimed crisply, pulling Jiang Liangjin as she ran over to him with light steps.

Jiang Liangjin lowered his gaze to the soft little hand on his wrist, the corners of his mouth slightly lifting.

Song Yusui curled his lips into a smile, stepped forward a few paces, his tone overly affectionate, prompting another round of low gasps from those around.

"Baby, have you missed brother?"

Saying that, he strode over with long legs, his steps lazy yet exuding an aura; his gaze naturally fell on the camera screen in Bai Yun's hand, and he commented with a curved lip: "The composition is not bad, little girl, you have quite a talent."

Bai Yun was thrown off by the sudden praise, not knowing what to say, and she replied with a flushed face: "Ah, really... thank you."

Xia Chao Yi frowned, inexplicably feeling this person's aura a bit overpowering, and subconsciously stepped forward.

He shielded Bai Yun behind him, warily sizing him up like a little hedgehog with its spines raised, and said, "No, who are you?"

Song Yusui's gaze shifted between the two, and he tugged at the corner of his mouth.

He raised both hands in a surrender gesture, his tone teasing, with a hint of coaxing a child: "I have no interest in little girls, don't worry, little kid."

Without waiting for their reaction, he walked around them to stand before his sister, saying, "Baby, you've changed your hair color—truly befitting a little princess, you've bewitched me so much I can't even walk."

Mu Youyu ignored his teasing, simply looked up at him and asked, "Song Yusui-gege, how did you come back?"

Song Yusui bent down to be eye‑level with her, lowered his voice and feigned grievance: "I've always been in C Shi, I haven't left, okay? And you, you didn't even call brother for the sports meet!"

He finds it boring every day to look at those handsome men and beautiful women at the company.

Saying that, he rubbed Mu Youyu's hair.

Mu Youyu's hair was messed up by his rubbing, but she didn't mind, obediently saying, "Where, I was just worried brother would be busy."

"No matter how busy, you're still more important." Song Yusui said this seriously, the smile in his eyes fading a bit, fleeting enough to be hard to catch.

Jiang Liangjin's gaze fell on Mu Youyu's tousled hair, he stepped forward and reached out to gently smooth the stray strands sticking up on her crown.

Only then did he lift his eyes and call out, "Song Yusui-gege."

Song Yusui's gaze instantly landed on him, and the smile on his face grew a bit richer.

He raised his hand and patted his shoulder, neither too light nor too heavy: "A Jin, awesome, I just happened to see you cross the finish line."

Mu Xin also greeted him, familiar: "Song Yusui-ge."

Qing An saw the people and lazily called out, "Sui Sui."

Song Yusui heard the voice, looked over, and made an exaggerated "tsk," his tone teasing: "Hey, you still haven't returned to the country? Is it because you can't bear to leave C Shi's food, or because you can't bear to leave someone?"

Qing An chuckled, waved a hand, and offhandedly replied, "No, I just can't bear to leave you."

Song Yusui didn't mind either, raised his eyebrows, his posture full of smug pride: "I'm deeply honored."

Gu Xingnan and Yu Ci also said, "Sui-ge, hello."

Song Yusui watched the two with their arms around each other's shoulders, smiled and nodded: "A Nan and A Ci, you're still inseparable."

He paused, then casually asked: "A Nan, how's your sister lately? Still holed up in the company every day?"

Gu Xingnan thought of his own busy-to-the-point-of-not-touching-the-ground CEO sister, sighed helplessly, "Not bad, just busier than before."

Mu Youyu tugged at Song Yusui's sleeve: "Song Yusui-gege, did you come here for something? Did you come specially to watch my competition?"

A flicker of longing crossed Song Yusui's eyes, his voice softened: "Nothing urgent right now, I just wanted to see our family's treasure."

Mu Youyu heard that, froze a moment, her eyes flickering slightly as she recalled what day it was today.

Jiang Liangjin also understood, lowered his eyelids, his gaze dimming slightly.

Mu Xin looked at Song Yusui's expression, remained silent for a few seconds, then asked: "Do you need me to go in a few days?"

Song Yusui sighed, "Let's see, I'm waiting for Chu Chu to catch up."

Qing An was completely bewildered, seeing the taciturn looks exchanged among them, and couldn't help asking: "What are you talking about? What riddles are you playing? I can't understand a word."

Song Yusui didn't answer, merely shifted the topic, he put an arm around Mu Youyu's shoulders, looked at Jiang Liangjin, and said: "A Jin just came in first; does our little princess have any reward for him?"

The class A students had already gathered around; upon hearing this, they looked at the two with eager faces.

Mu Xin was used to it.

Jiang Liangjin had wanted to ask something, but didn't expect him to steer the conversation away first; he didn't mind, merely turned his head to look at Mu Youyu, his eyes soft.

Feeling a bit embarrassed under everyone's gaze, Mu Youyu glared at Song Yusui, then turned to Jiang Liangjin, blinked, and said, "The reward is for him to give me a gold medal!"

The 1000-meter race decides the outcome in one go; after a dozen or so minutes, once the second batch finishes, they can go collect their medals.

Jiang Liangjin's heart softened, he smiled and agreed: "Okay, then my gold medal will go to my little princess."

It was Friday.

The final day of the sports meet.

On the playground, colorful flags fluttered, the broadcast played stirring music, and the air was filled with the vibe of youth.

The women's 1500-meter event was currently checking in.

Leng Yueyou and Mo Song are not in the same batch; right now the former is on the field doing warm‑up exercises.

She wore a striking sports outfit, her posture agile, drawing many onlookers to stop and watch.

Mu Youyu, Jiang Liangjin, Mu Xin, and Qing An were sitting at the finish line watching the excitement.

The Sports Committee was holding up a newly made banner—"You Jie runs, the wind detours, low-key low-key, champion arrives."

Yu Ci muttered, "No way, I'm not like the wind? Swapping this banner for mine would be fun."

Gu Xingnan went over to the check-in area.

Jiang Liangjin heard that, raised her eyebrows, "I'll get it ready for you next year."

Yu Ci sighed, "Ah, what next year..."

Mu Xin recalled something, "When are you guys skipping a grade?"

Mu Youyu had mentioned it to him, but never gave the specific time.
