Chapter 399

~7 min read 1,336 words

Mu Youyu looked at him doubtfully, and Qing An hurriedly explained: "Mainly I was bored and planned to go play at Ah Xin Company……"

Who would have thought the result would be the same as last year's Jun Chenling's, being dragged by Mu Xin to help review documents.

Since it wasn't outsiders' turf, Qing An examined the documents especially carefully, helping stamp them one by one until his hands were sore.

Mu Youyu thought he would complain about his brother, but Qing An switched tack: "So my little sister has to go out and play with me to compensate me!"

Jiang Liangjin, who had originally planned to snitch quietly, withdrew his gaze.

Mu Youyu was amused: "Brother Qing An, are you asking me for compensation for mental distress?"

"Of course!" Qing An said righteously, thinking he was speaking softly: "I, a proud prince of M Guo, am doing free labor in Y Guo—would that even sound right if it got out?"

Mu Xi couldn't bear his deliberate distortion of facts, even smearing his own brother, saying: "That was voluntary; no one held a knife to your throat."

Qing An threw a tantrum at his sister: "I don't care; anyway, my sister has to compensate me."

Mu Youyu tilted her head, pretending to think: "Well... how about I treat you to a meal?"

Qing An was satisfied.

"" Mu Xin continued speaking with Jiang Su.

Childish.

Jiang Liangjin watched the scene from the side, silently poured a cup of milk for Mu Youyu and handed it to her.

Mu Youyu took it, took a sip, then turned to Qing An: "Brother Qing An, if you really feel that wronged, why don't I tell Sister Ruo Ya to raise your pocket money?"

Qing An's face changed, he immediately sat up straight: "No, no, no, I was joking—I have plenty of pocket money!"

Joking aside, if Ruo Ya found out her lazy brother was here handling Mu Xin's company affairs, next time it wouldn't be just reviewing documents—she'd send him straight back to M Guo to handle state affairs!

Mu Youyu looked at his cowardly appearance and couldn't help laughing: "So do you still want compensation?"

Qing An put on a bitter face: "No thanks."

Song Lujing: "Knowing the times."

The formalities were completed at ten o'clock the next morning.

At that moment, Mu Youyu had just stepped into the Class A classroom, hadn't even sat down yet, when she saw the whole class snap their heads up, dozens of eyes staring straight at her.

Their gazes were complex, as if they were looking at a princess about to marry far away.

She instinctively stepped back half a step upon entering, her shoulder lightly bumping into Jiang Liangjin behind her.

Jiang Liangjin raised a hand to steady her shoulder, his gaze sweeping lightly over the class as the pressure in the room dipped slightly.

The classmates had no time for him, chattering all at once.

"No way, Sister Yu, I thought you were just skipping grades normally—how come you're also transferring schools?"

"I went, and I had been bragging to the neighboring Nan Feng that Artist Name Yue Shu was in our class—now I've become a clown!"

"Are you guys going to Senior Three Class 1 then? Young Master Xi and the others are all there, but isn't there still an Olympiad Class in Senior Three?"

"Young Master Xi and Young Master Jing aren't in that class either."

Everyone originally thought that the group who had entered Second Year Class 1 last September would all be promoted straight to Senior Three Olympiad Class based on their excellent grades.

But unexpectedly, most people ended up following Mu Xi to Senior Three Class 1.

Someone sighed quietly, "Makes sense—I heard that Nan Feng's Senior Three Class 1 has everyone recommended for admission; not going to the Olympiad Class is just to avoid too much pressure..."

"Huh, these crafty kids—I never thought of that either; I also got a recommendation, so I'm going straight to Class 1 in Senior Three."

"Wuuu, Sister Yu, don't go—if you leave, who will protect me?"

The last sentence was spoken by Xia Chao Yi; after saying it, Bai Yun gave him a glare: "You're a big guy—who needs protecting?"

Xia Chao Yi looked aggrieved: "I was just expressing my reluctance."

Bai Yun no longer bothered putting on an act in front of outsiders; she couldn't be bothered with him, walked straight up to Mu Youyu and, for once, showed a hint of seriousness, asking, "Decided?"

Bai Yun and Mu Youyu aren't that kind of inseparable best friends, but they've been in the same class for nearly a year, and she genuinely treats her as a friend; they get along well. Saying she'll just leave and claiming she doesn't feel any reluctance is a lie.

Mu Youyu poked half her head out from beside Jiang Liangjin, saying, "Yeah, just finished."

Bai Yun opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but ended up just nodding, "Okay, take good care of yourself; we'll still see each other at future inter-school events."

Mo Song's eyes were a little red, clutching Mu Youyu's sleeve and not letting go, "Sister Yu, will you forget us when you go to Nan Feng?"

Mu Youyu was amused by her expression, reached out and pinched her cheek, "How could I? I'm not going to outer space."

Leng Yueyou stood to the side, feigning nonchalance with arms crossed, "Exactly, Nan Feng is right across from Lan Lin; if you want to see someone, you can anytime."

External Liaison Department Head Luo Yi was reluctant but hid it, putting on a calm front, "No problem, our school is co-hosting the opening ceremony with Nan Feng this semester; we'll see each other soon."

As soon as that was said, someone immediately wailed, "No way! Wasn't the opening ceremony yesterday?"

Luo Yi retorted, "Of course not! Yesterday was just an inspection by some leaders; the opening ceremony is probably tomorrow."

Mo Song finally stopped being sentimental, just blinking her eyes at Mu Youyu.

Mu Youyu comforted her with a few more words.

Jiang Liangjin had nothing to say, merely gave Yu Ci a look.

Yu Ci by the classroom door, hands in pockets, broke the melancholy atmosphere, "Alright, alright, stop crowding around Youbao; we should go."

Seeing this, Chao Yi instantly recalled the crucial issue, "If you're all leaving, what about our student council president position?"

Jiang Liangjin tilted his head, "I've picked someone to take over for me."

He couldn't help but ask, "Who is it?"

Jiang Liangjin said calmly, "You'll find out tomorrow."

Mu Youyu hadn't even thought of that, and she asked, "Who? Who?"

Jiang Liangjin said indulgently, "I'll tell you when we go out."

The classmates watched helplessly as Young Master Jiang's attitude shifted in a second—from being aloof with the whole class to being gentle as water toward Mu Youyu.

Their Expression was priceless—well, same old double standards.

Mu Youyu tugged at Jiang Liangjin's sleeve again, "I want to hear it now."

Jiang Liangjin was amused by her cute appearance, the corners of his mouth lifting; he pulled her to the classroom door, lowered his voice, and said two words.

Mu Youyu finished listening, her Expression subtly changed, "He? He isn't……"

"Shh." Jiang Liangjin raised his index finger to his lips, "I'll go out and tell you in detail."

Mu Youyu immediately fell silent.

Yu Ci, watching from behind, felt anxious, craning his neck, "Who, who? Can you two stop speaking in riddles?"

Gu Xingnan grabbed his collar and pulled him back, "Don't ask, anyway it's not us."

"Don't pull on me!" Yu Ci tidied his clothes, "Of course I know it's not us, I'm just curious……"

"Curiosity killed the cat."

Yu Ci wanted to speak but hesitated, "A Nan, have you recently learned some weird way of speaking from Yan Ge?"

Gu Xingnan didn't answer, only slightly curling the corner of his mouth.

The few people packed up their things, preparing to leave.
