Chapter 36: Have we met somewhere before?

Lin Ning curled her mouth into a light smile and said to her several girlfriends, "This is my close friend, Mu Youyu."

"I've long heard Ningning talk about a gorgeous close friend; today I finally get to see her! Hello, I'm Ningning's classmate, Yu Anni."

The girl who started speaking, with medium-length hair and lively eyes, was the first to speak.

Beside her, a girl with orange hair who looked suave and handsome said, "Hello, I'm Yan Yuan."

A girl with a cool and gorgeous demeanor, dressed luxuriously and nobly, her wrists adorned with many sparkling accessories, smiled faintly and said, "Hello, I'm Ye Yin, the 'yin' of music."

These three girls have very different personalities, but they all seem quite outgoing and cheerful.

"Hello."

When Mu Youyu's gaze fell on the third girl named Ye Yin, she couldn't help but pause slightly.

Before she could speak, Ye Yin spoke first: "We... have we met somewhere before?"

Mu Youyu has a good memory: "Two days ago."

When Song Lujing took her to the mall, she had seen Ye Yin.

The illegitimate son of the An Family that Song Lujing mentioned, An Sheng, had Ye Yin as the girl beside him; An Sheng even had people call her "Little Yin Treasure," and they had broken up that very day.

Ye Yin immediately recalled it; after all, seeing Mu Youyu once was unforgettable, she had just been a little unsure when she asked.

But now she's certain!

"Are you the girl beside Young Master Jing? I see Young Master Jing being very gentle with you; are you his girlfriend?"

Although Young Master Jing has a good temperament, no girl has ever been seen close to him!

Yu Anni's eyes sparkled: "What's your relationship with Young Master Jing?"

At Nan Feng, nobody doesn't know Song Lujing!

Mu Youyu didn't hide it either, saying: "He's my brother."

Haven't you heard that the Song Family has a Miss surnamed Mu?

But no one asked.

Lin Ning knew what her friends were thinking and explained: "That's Youbao's cousin! Youbao is the eldest daughter of the Mu Family, and also the eldest daughter of the Song Family!"

The legendary eldest daughter of the Mu Family?

They thought it was just rumors spread outside, after all many only say the Mu Family has an eldest daughter but have never seen her, not knowing her name.

Searching online yields nothing!

Hearing that, Yu Anni spoke familiarly: "Xiao Yu, are you a transfer student at our Nan Feng?"

Yan Yuan lightly tapped Yu Anni's head and said impatiently: "Idiot, didn't Ningning say her close friend transferred to the neighboring Lan Lin?"

Yu Anni immediately pursed her lips, showing a wronged look: "Ow ow ow, Yuan Yuan, I forgot!"

But if she were to say it, Mu Youyu should transfer to Nan Feng and become its most beautiful flower.

Yu Anni's face lit up with a bright smile: "They're playing ball over there! Want to go see?"

Yan Yuan became interested and casually remarked: "Young Master Jing and Yinyin's childhood sweetheart are also there."

Ye Yin glanced at her and said: "Get lost, get lost, he's definitely not this young lady's childhood sweetheart!"

Mu Youyu watched them with a faint smile, intrigued.

Yu Anni shoved Ye Yin: "No means no! Come on, let's go take a look!"

The basketball court and the sports field are adjacent.

Yu Anni turned her head: "Ningning, your night school senior is also there."

Upon hearing that, Lin Ning got excited, pulled Mu Youyu and ran toward the basketball court: "Come on, come on, come on!"

On the basketball court.

The youths' agile figures darted about.

At the edge of the court, students sat or stood, applause, cheers, and shouts never ceased.

"Ahhhhh, Young Master Jing is so handsome!"

"Ahh! The night school hunk has driven me crazy!"

"Young Master Jing is definitely the most handsome, no one can rival him! Young Master Jing, keep it up!"

"Why hasn't Young Master Xi come, ahhh!"

"Young Master Xi has a cleanliness obsession, he wouldn't play ball!"

"……"

Lin Ning ran to the front row of the stands, and the hand she had been holding Mu Youyu's with naturally loosened.

Mu Youyu and the other three stood where they could just see the basketball court.

The few of them looked at each other, none wanting to go to the front row—it was too noisy.

Yu Anni's eyes curved: "Xiao Yu came to Nan Feng to play, she probably doesn't know those people up there."

She leaned against Mu Youyu and enthusiastically introduced: "The person in the middle with the most dazzling gray-pink hair and white clothes is Song Lujing, from Grade 2 Class 1, one of our school's four top hunks..."

Yan Yuan tapped her head and teased: "Just now, Xiao Yu didn't say that Young Master Jing is her brother?"

"I don't care, I just want to say it." Yu Anni pouted cutely, furrowing her brows.

"Fine, fine, Anni treasure, keep going." Yan Yuan said habitually.

Yu Anni continued: "The person in black clothes is Lin Yu, from Grade 2 Class 1, the young master of the Lin Family from C City; his older brother dotes on him to no end, and most people at school call him Young Master Lin, one of the four top hunks! However, he loves to play, having switched through several close friends... Oh right, he's Yinyin's childhood sweetheart."

Hearing this, Ye Yin snorted dissatisfiedly and retorted: "Who says he's my childhood sweetheart? At most he's just a troublesome friend of mine! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have gone out with the An Family's illegitimate son."

Mu Youyu heard this and the corners of her lips lifted slightly.

Yu Anni smiled as she explained: "A week ago, Lin Yu and Yinyin made a bet, and Yinyin lost. Afterwards Lin Yu had Yinyin go find a illegitimate son to play with, to see what it felt like. Then Yinyin sought out An Sheng, who had pursued her for a month, and they were together for four days."

At Nan Feng, many playful young masters and misses having opposite-sex friends is also common.

Moreover, there are quite a few familial marriages.

Whether they did well or poorly on the exams doesn't matter much; later they have many paths to choose from, like going abroad or inheriting the company, etc.

Moreover, the school teachers think this doesn't greatly affect studies, so as long as there's no intimate behavior in front of them, they turn a blind eye.

The students wouldn't snitch either, after all nobody wants to offend anyone.

Ye Yin gave another soft hum, "But after a day passed, I had Lin Yu go talk about an illegitimate daughter as well; Lin Yu was actually talking with An Sheng's sister, the An family's illegitimate daughter An Qingying—I don't know if they're still together now."

Yan Yuan clicked her tongue, "Miss, I heard they two have broken up, you know."

Mu Youyu held back her urge to laugh; she had bumped into Ye Yin and An Sheng when they broke up.

Later, when Lin Yu and An Qingying broke up, she also ran into them.

"... Don't mention him!"

Seeing Ye Yin's eyes blazing with anger, Yan Yuan quickly raised her hands in surrender, "Alright, alright, I won't mention him!"

Yu An Yi then continued the introduction: "The person who threw the ball into the hoop is Ye Zeli, the senior that Ning Ning is pursuing. He's also in Class 1 of the second year, the eldest young master of the Ye family in C City, one of the top four school hunks."

Mu Youyu raised her eyebrows upon hearing those surnames.

Lin Yu is the young master of the Lin family in C City whom she had met when she encountered her second older brother last time.

The four great families of C City are Lin, Nan, Ye, and Ye.

The Lin family of C City is related to the Lin family of West City.

The Lin family of C City is the maternal family of Lin Ning, while the West City Lin family is her paternal family.

Lin Yu and Lin Ning are cousins.

Mu Youyu and Lin Ning have indeed grown up together since childhood.

However, she had never met Lin Yu before; only now, upon hearing people mention him, did she realize.

She didn't know before, but now she does.
