Chapter 69: I’m totally shipping them!
“Still upset?” Mo Ziyang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that this silly girl could actually hold a grudge.
“Mm… if it weren’t for you, I might have ended up in the hospital again today.”
Thinking back to that dangerous moment on stage, Lin Muxi still felt scared.
“If you’re angry, you can go to the security office now. The police should still take a while to arrive.”
“Why would I go… I don’t want to see that crazy person again.”
Hearing Mo Ziyang’s suggestion, Lin Muxi immediately showed a look of strong dislike.
She really didn’t want to see that guy again and risk reliving that terrifying moment.
After refusing her bro’s idea, she simply wandered around the school with Mo Ziyang.
When the flag-raising ceremony on the sports field finally ended and the students started returning to the teaching building one by one, Lin Muxi stopped and turned her head.
“Should we go look for our two roommates?”
“Look for them? With the way you look right now, do you think they would even recognize you?” Mo Ziyang was a little speechless.
This dummy still had no awareness of her current identity.
Lin Muxi froze for a second, then nodded in agreement.
“You’re right… besides, those two probably didn’t even dare to bring their phones.”
Thinking about it, she really didn’t have much reason to stay around.
But when she looked at her watch, she saw it wasn’t even 8 o’clock yet. Where else could she go for fun?
While Lin Muxi was still thinking, someone suddenly ran out from the nearby crowd toward her.
“Hm? What are you doing here?” Mo Ziyang looked in surprise at the little girl running over.
“Huh?”
Only then did Lin Muxi notice Yu Xiaoxiao rushing over in a hurry, still catching her breath.
“I… I was a bit worried about Sister Lin, so I wanted to come and check.” Yu Xiaoxiao said with concern, while carefully looking over Lin Muxi.
“I—I’m fine. Maybe just a little shaken up.”
Seeing Yu Xiaoxiao so worried, Lin Muxi felt touched but also a bit embarrassed, like someone had just dug up an old embarrassing memory.
While the two were talking, Mo Ziyang’s phone suddenly rang.
When he saw the caller ID showing Xiao Luyu’s name, his friendly expression instantly disappeared. A flash of anger appeared in his eyes, and an invisible pressure filled the air.
The pressure was so strong that both Lin Muxi and Yu Xiaoxiao shivered without realizing it.
“Ugh… why do I suddenly feel cold?” Lin Muxi wondered. It was the middle of summer, but she actually felt a chill.
“Me too… suddenly…” Yu Xiaoxiao also turned her head and looked around in confusion.
But unfortunately, the two confused girls found nothing.
“I’m going to answer this call. You and Yu Xiaoxiao can keep chatting. Just meet me at the parking lot later.” Mo Ziyang suddenly patted Lin Muxi on the head.
“Ah? Okay, I got it.”
She didn’t know exactly what Mo Ziyang was going to do, but when she saw the cold look in his eyes, she could guess he was probably going to deal with someone.
So she didn’t ask more questions and just waved goodbye for now.
Lin Muxi understood, but Yu Xiaoxiao was still left with a confused expression, like: ‘What are you guys even talking about?’
“What is Mo Ziyang going to do…?”
“Don’t worry about him, most likely he went to deal with someone.”
When she heard this, Yu Xiaoxiao’s eyes instantly widened, as if she couldn’t believe it.
What kind of person would actually dare to provoke Mo Ziyang?
But after she saw Lin Muxi, she immediately understood.
Wasn’t he going to deal with Gu Jiusheng?
So the worried look on her face quickly turned into admiration. The sudden change in expression made Lin Muxi wonder what Yu Xiaoxiao was thinking.
“What kind of face is that?”
“Eh? I just suddenly felt a little jealous of you, Sister Lin, for having such an amazing boyfriend.”
Since Lin Muxi looked curious, Yu Xiaoxiao didn’t try to hide it.
After all, what girl doesn’t wish for a handsome, strong, and rich boyfriend to protect her?
“He’s not… he’s not as good as you make him sound.”
Hearing Yu Xiaoxiao’s praise for Mo Ziyang, Lin Muxi actually blushed, though she also looked a bit proud.
“Really? But just now, when he protected you on stage, he looked super cool!”
As she spoke, Yu Xiaoxiao remembered that shocking moment on stage just now, when Mo Ziyang still tried so hard to protect Lin Muxi. Her eyes were practically shining like stars.
Forget about fairy tales of princes and princesses, this was even better!
“Well… I guess that’s true too…”
But Yu Xiaoxiao’s words also reminded Lin Muxi of a saying, ‘When there’s danger, being beside your good bro is the safest. When it’s safe, being beside your good bro is the most dangerous.’
When it came to Mo Ziyang’s scheming personality, Lin Muxi really couldn’t do anything about it. She both loved it and hated it.
She loved it because under that sly nature, Mo Ziyang was just too good at flirting. Every time, he made her so shy.
She hated it because under that same sly nature, he was also super petty, when he held a grudge and got revenge, she really couldn’t handle it.
“So, Sister Lin, I’m really curious, how did you and Mo Ziyang even start dating? It really looks like he was the one chasing you.”
With expectant eyes, Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Muxi as if she had just discovered a hidden treasure.
But Lin Muxi didn’t see it that way at all. She was so anxious that she started sweating, trying to think of a way to distract Yu Xiaoxiao.
Asking her something like this? She didn’t even know herself how she ended up liking Mo Ziyang.
If she really had to explain, it was probably thanks to all his constant teasing.
And saying he was the one chasing her? Please, was pulling her into embarrassing situations all the time considered “chasing”?
With no other choice, Lin Muxi forced a troubled expression, then looked at her watch and pretended to sigh in regret.
“But class is about to start soon… Yu Xiaoxiao, are you really not going back to your class?”
“Huh?” Yu Xiaoxiao froze.
Then she turned around and realized that everyone else had already gone back to the teaching building for class.
Only she was still here, asking Lin Muxi for gossip.
“Ahhh… I actually forgot the time…”
Realizing this, Yu Xiaoxiao quickly pulled out a pen and paper she always carried in her pocket, wrote down her QQ number for Lin Muxi, and then reluctantly ran off toward the teaching building.
…………………………………
Meanwhile, after hanging up the phone, Mo Ziyang went to the parking lot and saw Xiao Luyu, who had come to apologize.
“Brother Mo… about today, it was my mistake,” Xiao Luyu lowered his head, clearly afraid that Mo Ziyang would beat him up because of this.
“Luckily, you should be thankful Lin Muxi is fine. Otherwise, there would definitely be another ambulance parked outside the school today.”
Seeing Xiao Luyu’s sincere apology, the coldness in Mo Ziyang’s eyes faded.
Since it was an unexpected situation, he didn’t blame Xiao Luyu any further.
After all, with Gu Jiusheng in this state, it was hard for anyone to control what might happen. He couldn’t put all the blame on him.
So, as Mo Ziyang got into his car, he left him with one final order:
“You’ll handle everything about Gu Jiusheng from now on. Don’t let me down again.”
“Don’t worry, Brother Mo, I promise to finish the job.”
