Chapter 501: Planning to Let You Talk

Shang You's feelings, however, were a mix of five flavors.

Ah! He really deserves to die!

Sister You is so beautiful and kind-hearted; why did he, a few months ago, agree to Mu Xianqi's request and even impulsively say something about an indirect kiss……

Had I known, I would have sent someone else.

Thinking about it, he glanced briefly at Jiang Liangjin, who was uninvolved.

Jiang Liangjin had long recognized who this person was, but couldn't be bothered to point it out, maintaining an air of indifference.

Zhu Zhou always felt his friend was off today, reached out and patted Shang You's arm, saying, "Sit down, what are you standing for?"

Shang You staggered half a step forward from the pat, then naturally sat on the edge of the sofa, back straight, hands properly placed on his knees.

Mu Youyu found it funny and asked, "How have you been feeling lately?"

Zhu Zhou nodded, "Much better."

Upon hearing that, Shang You slightly turned his head to look at him; Zhu Zhou secretly glared at him.

Shang You moved his lips, but ultimately didn't dare say anything.

"Xiao Zhou, are you classmates?" Mu Youyu asked, feigning ignorance.

Zhu Zhou shook his head, "He's my friend, a year younger than me, from back home; a few years ago, Elder Sui had me get to know him."

Mu Youyu murmured, "Before that, when Mu Xianqi brought people home, Song Yusui still hadn't recognized them."

Shang You suspected Zhu Zhou had brought it up on purpose; he cleared his throat and added, "Elder Sui said… we're about the same age, our personalities should click, so let's get to know each other."

After hearing Shang You's explanation, Zhu Zhou tilted his head to glance at him, expression subtle, "When did Elder Sui ever say something like that? He didn't say……"

Shang You immediately covered his mouth, "Xiao Zhou, are you thirsty? I'll pour you a cup of tea."

Zhu Zhou, with his mouth covered, mumbled an "uh," his dark eyes shifting, and stopped struggling.

Shang You then released his hand, casually picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup for Zhu Zhou, and also poured one each for Mu Youyu and Jiang Liangjin.

Mu Youyu, who doesn't like tea, merely twitched the corner of her mouth.

The oldest person present was no more than sixteen, and no one touched the tea in front of them.

Shang You picked up the teacup, brought it to his lips, made a feint, then set the cup down.

Jiang Liangjin, who witnessed everything:?

Zhu Zhou asked, "Sister You, how long will you be staying in M Guo this time?"

Mu Youyu replied, "About half a month, returning a week before school starts."

After chatting a bit more about daily matters, Jiang Liangjin put away his phone and said, "It's getting late; you should take your noon break."

Mu Youyu obediently agreed, "All right."

Zhu Zhou also stood up, politely bidding farewell, "Then we won't disturb you; Sister You, rest well, Brother, goodbye."

Shang You also stood up, moving even faster than Zhu Zhou, "Brother and sister, goodbye!"

The two walked one after the other toward the door.

Shang You walked a good distance, then looked back, seeing only palace attendants, and his tense shoulders slowly relaxed.

Zhu Zhou trailed half a step behind, arms crossed, "What's wrong with you today? Your words are all over the place."

Shang You kept walking, "You wouldn't understand."

Zhu Zhou raised an eyebrow, didn't press further, thinking to himself that he had kept Shang You's past from Sister You, which was already enough loyalty.

Stepping out of the main hall, Shang You suddenly stopped, turned his head, "Do you think Sister You recognized them?"

"Recognize what?"

Shang You opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Zhu Zhou looked at his hesitant expression and chuckled, "Even if they recognized you, what does it matter? Just pretend you don't know."

"Besides, who let you use the name 'Love Love'?"

Shang You lowered his eyes in regret, "Probably… because I was young and clueless."
