Watching them walk away, Shen Mu couldn’t help but laugh.
“They deserved it,” Fei Xinglan said with a smile.
“Ah Xiu, that was so cool just now! I want to have monkeys with you!!!” Shen Mu’s eyes sparkled with admiration. Although kicking someone didn’t fit Jin Yixiu’s image, his movements were crisp, clean, and so cool, even his kicks were handsome! At that moment, his boyfriend aura exploded!
Jin Yixiu, looking at Shen Mu like this, pretended to be calm and said, “Don’t… Don’t say that.” A suspicious blush appeared on his jade-like face.
Shen Mu was completely smitten. The “have monkeys” line was just a casual remark. He was worried it might make Jin Yixiu uncomfortable, but he didn’t expect this reaction. So shy! How cute!
While these two were surrounded by pink bubbles, Fei Xinglan and Xi Xiangyang were similarly engaged.
Hearing Shen Mu mention Jin Yixiu’s kick, Fei Xinglan quickly thanked Xi Xiangyang.
“Thank you for just now.” After all, it was Xi Xiangyang who helped block the punch. He was really a good guy.
“Xinglan, if you really want to thank me, how about spending the weekend with me?” Xi Xiangyang took this opportunity to set conditions, creating a chance for himself.
“No way, I need to study on the weekend. I was serious when I said I would study hard. Don’t try to distract me!” Fei Xinglan refused righteously.
“…Then how about this, let’s study together at my house on the weekend. I can help you.” Xi Xiangyang was reluctant to give up and continued to try.
“Okay, speaking of which, how much are your tutoring fees?” Fei Xinglan thought of this serious question. Although there was no need to pay a classmate, he felt embarrassed to let him do it for free.
“Ah Xiu’s tutoring fee is breakfast every day. As for you, just occasionally accompany me at home on weekends, or you can come to my house. I live alone and it’s too boring,” Xi Xiangyang pretended to think for a moment before saying.
Fei Xinglan definitely wouldn’t want Xi Xiangyang to go to his house, a place he didn’t even want to return to. “Then I’ll go to your house.” It wasn’t a big deal anyway, Fei Xinglan thought.
Thus, a certain naive child sold himself out, only realizing much later that he had walked into a tiger’s den.
Of course, it was still too early to say all this.
Reaching the dormitory building, they considered the previous commotion and the time wasted, and decided to skip studying tonight. Tomorrow they would be going home anyway, so they could study together next week.
“Then we’ll go back first. Bye.”
“Bye.”
Jin Yixiu and Xi Xiangyang watched Shen Mu and Fei Xinglan enter the building before turning back to their own dormitory.
In the family group chat:
Xi Xiangyang: “Remember that vacant house in the Xin Yuan compound? I want to move in. Please prepare some necessities in that house.”
Xi Xiangtian: “Why are you suddenly moving there?”
Xi Xiangyang: “Xiangyang, why do you suddenly want to live there? Did something happen? Tell me about it.”
Xi Xiangtian: “Don’t tell me you’re thinking about that again. No way.”
Xi Xiangyang: “But I’m chasing a wife! Don’t you want your precious son to find a partner? What if they feel restrained at home and don’t want to come over later?”
Xi Xiangtian: “?”
Xi Xiangyang: “Oh, it’s true! Don’t worry, I’ll arrange it right away. Which girl is it?”
Xi Xiangyang: “It’s not a girl, it’s a young man.”
…
The group chat fell silent for a few seconds.
Finally, Xi Xiangtian spoke first.
Xi Xiangtian: “Son, no matter what, it’s your own business. We support you.”
Xi Xiangtian: “I don’t want to say much. Think it through yourself. The path is your choice, and you have to bear the final consequences.”
Xi Xiangtian: “Why are you going to mess with a young man… Whatever, I don’t care anymore.”
Xi Xiangyang: “Don’t worry, the path is my choice, and he is my choice. I won’t regret it.”
Xi Xiangyang put down his phone and looked around the room with a silly smile.
His family had always been very open-minded, which was why he dared to be so direct. Without any worries, now he just needed to win Little Xingxing’s heart. Friends first, then pursue him after graduation.
Xi Xiangyang was full of hope for the future, grinning from ear to ear.
Jin Yixiu looked at the silly-grinning Xi Xiangyang, then turned his head and ignored him.
“Oh, by the way, Yixiu, that person is treating us to dinner tomorrow,” Xi Xiangyang suddenly remembered and said.
Xi Xiangyang was used to this and continued, “I have a premonition that tomorrow, there will definitely be a good show.”
Jin Yixiu looked up and glanced at Xi Xiangyang indifferently: “Is that so?”
Without waiting for a response, he picked up his change of clothes and walked towards the bathroom.
Xi Xiangyang: “…” His buddy’s attitude made him suspect that he was just saying it casually and didn’t really care.
In Shen Mu and Fei Xinglan’s dormitory:
Shen Mu thought about tomorrow’s mission and instantly deflated.
Seeing Shen Mu’s listless appearance, Fei Xinglan asked, “Ah Mu, what’s wrong?”
Shen Mu shook his head: “Nothing, just thought of some sad things.”
Fei Xinglan assumed Shen Mu was thinking about something upsetting and didn’t ask further, afraid to touch upon any sensitive topics.
“Then I’ll go take a shower first?” Fei Xinglan rummaged through his things and asked.
“Mm.” Shen Mu lay back on the bed.
Fei Xinglan found his toiletries and yawned as he entered the bathroom.
He took out his phone, replied to his family’s messages, and then prepared to play on his phone to relax. His homework was done.
He saw a news article. Because he noticed the character “Jin,” Shen Mu clicked on it and glanced at it.
It said that the current chairman of Jin Group, a conglomerate in City A, stated in a recent interview that the future successor of Jin Group would definitely be his son.
Shen Mu wasn’t interested in this. He knew of Jin Group, a very famous conglomerate, but he had no interest in it. He only clicked on it because he saw the character “Jin.”
Shen Mu found his change of clothes, put them aside, scrolled through his phone for a while, and then went to take a shower after seeing Fei Xinglan come out.
After showering, Shen Mu took out the hairdryer to dry his hair. He had to say, the school dormitories were pretty good. They were well-funded with private bathrooms, air conditioning, and two-person rooms. The walls were also soundproof, so he didn’t have to worry about being heard when drying his hair at night or making other noises.
After drying his hair and scrolling through his phone for a bit longer, Shen Mu prepared to sleep. There was a battle to fight tomorrow, so it was better to sleep early and conserve energy.
Shen Mu turned off the light and said to Fei Xinglan, who was also getting ready to sleep, “Goodnight, Xinglan.”
“Goodnight, Ah Mu.”
