Chapter 608: Being Convinced by a Beating

~7 min read 1,288 words

Yu Ci admired these banners, clicking his tongue in amazement: "Truly imposing."

Liu Wanwan proudly flicked her ponytail, "Young man, you have good taste."

Yu Yu saw that her name wasn't there, quietly breathed a sigh of relief; she didn't want to be the center of attention.

A few friends who also wanted to have their names protested, all rushing over to Feng Cen in a swarm: "Sister Cen, you're playing favorites—how can you not keep things balanced? We want to take the test too."

Feng Cen casually tapped one of their foreheads: "No, you've got the water in your heads—no need to balance it, it's already level."

Liu Wanwan proudly lifted her chin, "I'm her eldest legitimate daughter—she treats me differently from you. Legitimacy matters, got it?"

The friends: "……"

Feng Cen feared their shouting would attract passersby, pointing at a few friends who had come to accompany the exam, urging: "Let them go down to get you ready."

"All right." The friends then grudgingly stepped back.

When the time was about right, Yu Yu prepared to enter the exam hall; she waved this way, Mu Youyu also waved, watching her silhouette merge into the crowd.

Liu Wanwan solemnly patted Mu Youyu's shoulder, "I'll go in first too; after the exam I'll come find you."

Mu Youyu raised her eyebrows, "Good, we'll wait here for you—good luck."

Feng Cen: "Go for it."

After Liu Wanwan left, several sisters also turned around one by one; before entering the door, they all turned back in unison and shouted: "Mu Jie, wait for our good news!"

Yu Ci: "Just the first day of the exam, and they've made it feel like the last day."

Mu Youyu made an "OK" gesture, watching the group of colorful figures blend into the crowd.

Yu Ci then swayed his shoulders over, feeling moved: "These kids are really interesting—if you added up their hair colors, you could make a rainbow."

Jiang Liangjin asked in a calm voice: "Are you jealous?"

Yu Ci: "No way! I'm not just praising their vitality—so full of life, like clumps of wildflowers..."

He hadn't finished speaking when he himself felt cheesy, letting out an awkward smile twice.

At that moment, a few girls not taking the exam curiously gathered around Mu Youyu, sizing up the silently standing Jiang Liangjin.

One of the bolder ones, eyes full of ambiguity, said: "Mu Jie, is this the legendary brother-in-law?"

Mu Youyu: "Ah?"

What is this form of address?

Earlier, Xu Shu called her younger siblings; later, they called Jiang Liangjin brother-in-law.

Jiang Liangjin also lightly replied: "The legendary brother-in-law?"

Mu Youyu jabbed him with her elbow, signaling him to tone it down.

The green-brown double‑ponytail girl hurriedly covered: "No, no, it's just a nickname we use in private—if you mind, we'll stop."

Jiang Liangjin's mouth curled up slightly.

Mu Youyu, unable to stop them, spoke for him: "I don't mind—call him whatever you like."

Having gotten the go‑ahead, the group instantly became lively, a string of compliments pouring out.

"Mu Jie, this brother‑in‑law is way too handsome! His vibe is a perfect match for Mu Jie!"

"When the brother‑in‑law stands here, all the school hunks have to step aside."

"Really, really—he's even more impressive in person than in photos; when he stands here, the surrounding air smells better!"

"The brother‑in‑law is so good‑looking he should be printed in textbooks, so we students would have motivation to study!"

"Exactly, exactly—I could score an extra point."

"And we should bring Mu Jie's photo for double blessings—getting into ABC University is no longer a dream!"

Jiang Liangjin: "?"

Feng Cen laughed so hard he couldn't straighten up, holding Mu Youyu's shoulder to keep from collapsing.

Gu Xingnan silently turned his back.

Yu Ci had been trying hard not to laugh, but seeing his childhood friend's puzzled look and the buddy's move, he completely lost it, crouching halfway on the ground laughing.

Passersby thought none of these people were normal.

Jiang Liangjin realized, these people were not letting any chance to tease him go by.

He earnestly corrected: "I won't be printed in textbooks—I want to be printed on the marriage certificate."

Mu Youyu just smiled, not responding.

That sister choked a little, then gave him a thumbs‑up: "You've got it."

Another sister then noticed that beside Mu Jie there were two more extremely handsome guys!

Her eyes lit up, she nudged her companion with her elbow: "Hey, they're really not bad."

Her companion agreed, then they all turned toward Mu Jie together: "Mu Jie, who are these two?"

Mu Youyu casually introduced: "They're my childhood friends."

Upon hearing that, Yu Ci gave a slight nod, posture upright, bearing the air of a young nobleman: "Hello, I'm Yu Ci."

Gu Xingnan also nodded briefly: "Gu Xingnan."

The double‑ponytail girl sincerely exclaimed: "What great names—Mu Jie's friends are indeed all handsome, high‑end folks."

"Indeed, good‑looking people hang out with good‑looking people; we ordinary folks can only look up."

Feng Cen: "A bunch of crazy women."

Yu Ci, feeling a bit puffed up from the praise, said: "Not bad taste."

He leaned close to Jiang Liangjin, speaking in a breathy tone: "Heard that? High‑end folks."

Feng Cen laughed, shoulders shaking, walked over and pulled the double‑ponytail girl a bit apart: "Alright, alright, you guys, don't scare them—this is just monkey‑watching."

She knew all too well the nature of these friends.

"No way, no way!"

Another girl with purple double buns chimed in quickly, her eyes still glued to the three boys as she said, "After all, Mu Youyu's friends are all top-tier hotties—rare finds; normally you couldn't get this close to them."

Mu Youyu spoke up to defuse the situation: "All right, all right, you guys stop teasing them; they're thin-skinned."

Jiang Liangjin took her hand, interlocking fingers, and agreed: "Exactly."

Yu Ci straightened his floating posture, "Exactly, we're all introverted little boys."

He spoke those insincere words without changing his expression, his Expression management could be called perfect.

Gu Xingnan echoed: "Yes."

Feng Cen found it increasingly interesting.

The girl with the buns quickly waved her hands, her tone exaggerated: "Mu Youyu, you say that, we wouldn't dare tease you! Mainly, it's our first time seeing your C Shi friends; we just couldn't hold back!"

She put her palms together in a Buddhist gesture, "Brother-in-law, you're magnanimous; please don't hold a grudge against us. If Mu Youyu comes back to hang out, we'd love to bask in her glory more."

Mu Youyu: "What's that gibberish?"

Noticing his fiancée's helpless little Expression, Jiang Liangjin finally couldn't suppress the curve of his lips: "Mu Youyu doesn't hold grudges, so neither do I."

The purple-haired girl made an exaggerated relieved Expression, "Phew, that's a relief—I was scared, thought Brother-in-law would hold a grudge and not let us see Mu Youyu anymore; I knew Brother-in-law wasn't that petty."

Feng Cen had seen enough of the hustle, returned to normal mode: "Alright, alright, it's crowded here, don't block the Future Path."

Understood.

Seeing the security guards also come to maintain order, everyone then made way.

A few girls glanced at the time, turned back to wave at Mu Youyu and Feng Cen, full of energy.

Mu Youyu, we'll go shopping first; we'll come back after they finish their exams—don't forget to turn on the group notifications!

Understood. Mu Youyu replied with a smile.

After their figures finally disappeared from sight, Yu Ci leaned in again: "Youbao, you were so popular back in A City, huh?"

Mu Youyu tilted her head, "Not bad; most of them are friends of Cen Cen."

Feng Cen drew out the ending: "Right, right, right, a friend's friend is a friend~"

Actually, he was convinced by this Mu Youyu.
