Chapter 116: The End
After entering the school building and saying goodbye to her bro, Lin Muxi went to the bathroom. She cupped her hands under the water and washed her face in front of the mirror.
Looking at her flushed cheeks in the reflection, she realized her body was being way too weak. Maybe she should have been tougher…
After a short moment of hesitation, with no answer coming to mind, Lin Muxi wiped her face with a paper towel. She adjusted her mood and walked toward her exam room.
Today was the first day of the college entrance exam, with Chinese and Math as the subjects. Tomorrow would be Science and English.
But for Lin Muxi, who had just gone through a week of “devil training” with her bro, this was nothing hard at all.
At the very least, she was determined to ace these exams and win the computer her bro had promised her.
Thinking of this, her eyes grew firm as she looked toward the exam room.
…………………………………
Ring ring ring… The exam is over, students please…
Hearing the final bell, Lin Muxi sat up straight in her seat and stretched her arms. This was the English exam, the very last subject of the college entrance exam. The bell meant her holiday had officially begun.
Thinking back on the days she had studied so seriously, she couldn’t wait to get her phone back and enjoy her two-month break with no homework.
“Alright, all the test papers have been collected. Students may leave the classroom.”
As the invigilator spoke, Lin Muxi quickly got up like the others, walked out of the classroom, and ran over to Mo Ziyang’s exam room to meet him.
But when she got there and looked around, she didn’t see her bro anywhere.
“Could it be he hasn’t come out yet?” she guessed, noticing some rooms were only just letting students out.
So she had no choice but to wait for him nearby.
Standing under the shade of a tree, Lin Muxi, with her petite figure, delicate face, and cute little dress, instantly became a lovely sight for students passing by as they left the school. Some even secretly took out their phones to snap a few pictures.
Of course, there were also some who were bolder.
“Um, miss, could you give me your QQ number?”
Suddenly, a boy’s voice pulled Lin Muxi back from her daze.
Turning her head, she saw a tall boy with a big backpack standing beside her. His clothes were covered in a certain brand’s checkmark logo.
“Eh—?” Lin Muxi froze for a second. It seemed he was talking to her.
The boy looked very strong, clearly over 1.8 meters tall. From his build, he was probably a sports student or someone who often played ball games.
Is this a pickup attempt?
Lin Muxi thought, but she felt no interest at all in this stranger who suddenly appeared. So she refused right away.
“But I don’t even know you… I’m just waiting for someone here.”
“No problem. Once we add each other, we’ll know each other. We can hang out or eat together sometime.”
Seeing her unwillingness, the boy still didn’t give up. Instead, he pulled out his phone and showed her his “add friend” QR code.
Pretty girls like her were rare, and with her small height compared to his, he was already imagining how easy it would be to hold her.
But Lin Muxi didn’t see him the same way.
Does this guy have a problem? I already said no, why is he still here?
She was at a loss and looked around, trying to find a way to get rid of him.
Just then, at the stairway, a figure she knew better than anyone else appeared.
Lin Muxi immediately stopped wasting time with the boy and told him directly, “Thanks, but… I already have a boyfriend.”
After saying that, she stepped quickly toward her bro and hugged him tightly from behind.
“You’re finally out… I’ve been waiting forever.”
“That’s not something I could control…”
Feeling the soft touch on his back and hearing her complaint, Mo Ziyang didn’t even need to look to know it was Lin Muxi.
Actually, when he finished his test and saw how quickly his class was handing in their papers, he already guessed that this silly girl might leave the exam hall earlier than him and wait for him somewhere.
But who knew that as soon as he went downstairs, this little fool couldn’t wait and came running straight to him.
Mo Ziyang walked over, turned around, and suddenly lifted Lin Muxi into his arms, looking at the cute girl with a spoiled smile.
“Hmph, let me tell you, you almost lost your good bro just now.”
This time, Lin Muxi surprisingly didn’t struggle. Instead, her cheeks turned red and she gave him a little pout, clearly unhappy that he had kept her waiting outside for so long.
Still, what did she mean by “almost lost”?
Mo Ziyang looked a bit confused.
Then he saw the silly girl point toward a tall boy not far away.
“See, if you had come any later, I might have been taken away by him.”
Hearing that, Mo Ziyang finally understood, she had just been hit on, which was why she rushed over in such a hurry.
Although he felt a little annoyed, he didn’t press the matter. After all, with how cute Lin Muxi was, it wasn’t surprising that someone tried to chat her up.
“Alright, alright, I’m here now, aren’t I?”
He gently kissed her forehead, put her down, held her hand, and gave back the phone she’d been waiting for.
“Oh right! Don’t forget, you promised to buy me a computer. I’ve been studying really hard these past two days!” Lin Muxi said while shaking his hand, her eyes showing that she wouldn’t take no for an answer.
Mo Ziyang could see that after forcing her to study hard for two days, she was carrying a lot of pent-up complaints. So he could only smile, nod, and rub her head softly.
“Then I’ll take you to buy it right now, okay?”
“Really? Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go, let’s go!”
Hearing that he would take her immediately, Lin Muxi’s face lit up. She grabbed his hand and happily dragged him toward the school gate.
She had been thinking about that “computer” for two whole days. Last night, she was so excited she couldn’t even sleep, just waiting for today when he would finally keep his promise.
Soon, the two of them left the school, got into the car, and headed to their usual shopping mall.
On the way, Mo Ziyang watched the girl beside him happily humming songs and felt puzzled. Clearly, she didn’t know much about computers, so why did she look like she already had something picked out?
It wasn’t until they arrived at the mall and Lin Muxi pulled him straight to the Apple Store that he realized this silly girl didn’t want a computer at all. She wanted a tablet to play with.
“Have you already decided what to buy?” he asked curiously.
Lin Muxi nodded, pulled out her phone, and showed him the tablet she liked. “Not only the tablet, I also want the pen and the keyboard.”
Looking at the screen, Mo Ziyang was about to call a staff member when a mischievous smile suddenly appeared on his face. He leaned down and whispered in her ear.
“You know, since you want me to buy such an expensive tablet, shouldn’t you at least give me something in return?”
“R-return?” Lin Muxi froze.
But then she saw the naughty smile on his face and immediately realized what he meant. Her pale cheeks flushed bright red.
She really couldn’t understand how her good bro had the nerve to ask for this kind of thing in front of so many people…
She had even secretly decided yesterday to find a way to thank him properly, but who knew he would be even more impatient than her!
“C-can’t we just wait until tonight…” she said shyly.
After all, there were lots of customers around them, plus kids running about. Doing anything here was way too embarrassing.
Her words actually left Mo Ziyang confused. He only wanted her to give him a quick kiss, but this silly girl’s imagination had gone much further.
Still, when she saw the look in his eyes, which to her seemed a bit impatient, like he was urging her to hurry up, she got flustered.
How could her good bro be like this!
Even though Lin Muxi was unwilling, when she thought about the tablet that cost nearly ten thousand yuan, she shyly reached out and grabbed his hand…
