Chapter 171: University Open Day
“Wait… who normally wears Hanfu to walk around a campus?”
Standing in front of her good bro, Lin Muxi looked puzzled as she held the long white Hanfu dress in her hands.
She could tolerate JK uniforms or other little dresses. After all, people often wore them on the street, but Hanfu was way too eye-catching.
She could already imagine walking into the school with Mo Ziyang and being stared at by a bunch of people with strange looks.
No way! That was absolutely not happening!
But Mo Ziyang’s eyes showed a different kind of emotion.
He had already seen Lin Muxi in JK and Lolita outfits. Hanfu was the only style missing. That was exactly why he wanted his little wife to wear Hanfu today.
Also, he just wanted to show off his super cute girlfriend at their future university.
“Please, wife, just this once.”
“You…”
Looking at his serious expression, Lin Muxi hesitated. She really didn’t want to stand out too much when going out with him. But then she thought about how he always took care of her, and her heart softened.
“Just… just this one time…”
After a few minutes of thought, her cheeks flushed red, and Lin Muxi finally agreed.
After all, she was his girlfriend—no, now his fiancée. Helping him save face in front of others wasn’t such a bad thing.
She also knew some people loved to show off their girlfriends. Thinking back, with everything that had happened, she could tell Mo Ziyang was probably that kind of person too.
So, even though she spoke as if she was reluctant, deep down, Lin Muxi actually felt a little happy.
When Mo Ziyang waited outside the room and Lin Muxi finally came out, what he saw took his breath away.
Before him stood a stunningly beautiful girl with an otherworldly aura. The long silk skirt fell all the way to her ankles, and tiny bells were tied at her waist. With each step, the bells jingled softly in rhythm with the swaying fabric.
At first glance, she looked exactly like a fairy who had descended from the heavens.
“How… how do I look?”
Her small hands nervously held the hem of her skirt as Lin Muxi lifted her eyes, her face full of unease. It was her first time wearing this style of clothing, and she was afraid it might not suit her.
But in Mo Ziyang’s eyes, she was so beautiful he almost wanted to drag her straight back into the room and kiss her to pieces.
This “Hanfu fairy” look really had its own charm.
Of course, if he really tried that, she would probably scold him to death. So he held back and simply praised her.
“You’re too cute, like my little angel.”
Hearing that, Lin Muxi finally relaxed. The worry in her heart faded, and a faint smile curled on her lips. Her small chest even lifted proudly without her noticing.
So, she did still have that effect on her good bro.
“Since it looks good, let’s go quickly!”
Her shy face immediately brightened. Smiling happily, Lin Muxi grabbed Mo Ziyang’s large hand.
“Mm, let’s go.”
After breakfast downstairs, Lin Muxi climbed into Mo Ziyang’s sports car under the envious stares of everyone around.
For the local neighbors, this wasn’t too surprising anymore. Mo Ziyang had been living here for a while.
Luxury cars were common sights. But chances to see the mysterious young master’s girlfriend? That was rare. Everyone was curious, what kind of girl could make a rich young heir lower himself to live in this neighborhood?
Now, seeing Lin Muxi in her adorable Hanfu outfit, the onlookers couldn’t help but stare and sigh. How had they never noticed that such a pretty girl lived here?
With the roar of the sports car engine, Lin Muxi and Mo Ziyang set off for Beijing University.
Still, when Lin Muxi glanced at the phone showing nearly an hour’s drive ahead, she was a little surprised.
“Beijing University is this far...?”
Sitting in the passenger seat and looking at the navigation, Lin Muxi couldn’t help but frown.
More than an hour of driving meant that by the time they arrived, it would already be close to lunchtime.
Of course, if the open day allowed them to eat in the school cafeteria, Lin Muxi thought that would be pretty nice.
“If you feel sleepy, you can take a nap. I’ll wake you up when we get there.”
“It’s fine, I’m not really sleepy yet.”
Hearing her boyfriend’s suggestion, Lin Muxi gave him a cute smile, adjusted her seat a little, and then stared blankly out the window.
Watching the scenery flash by outside, she suddenly felt emotional, thinking back to her busy high school days. Memories kept coming back one by one, and before she knew it, she slowly fell asleep in the passenger seat.
This silly girl, just a moment ago she said she wasn’t sleepy, and now she’s out cold. Looking at Lin Muxi’s sleeping face, Mo Ziyang couldn’t help but smile and pressed harder on the accelerator.
About fifty minutes later.
In front of the Beijing University gate, there was a huge crowd. Many parents had brought their children to visit on the open day. Cars filled the road completely, making it almost impossible to get through.
Sitting in the car, Mo Ziyang frowned at the jam and pressed the horn a bit impatiently.
The loud horn not only made the surrounding drivers notice the luxury sports car, but also woke up Lin Muxi, who was sleeping sweetly.
“Mm… are we here already, Mo Ziyang?”
Still in her seat, Lin Muxi stretched lazily. The little bells on her waist jingled softly. She rubbed her eyes, looked outside, and immediately saw the impressive university gate.
“Mo Ziyang, look! This gate is way more amazing than our high school’s.”
“Of course. This is a university, after all. Once I park, I’ll take you to look around.”
Before he could continue, Lin Muxi was already leaning eagerly against the window, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the busy entrance.
“So big and grand…”
When the cars in front slowly made way, Mo Ziyang stepped on the gas and drove straight to the security booth at the gate.
The loud roar of the sports car startled the security guard inside. He came out angrily with a broom, knocked on Mo Ziyang’s window, and scolded.
“Young man, didn’t you read the notice? On open days, private cars are not allowed inside. If you want to enter, you have to park outside.”
“Uncle, my parents are on the school’s board of directors. If you don’t believe me, you can call your boss and say the Mo family is here.”
Seeing the old man’s angry face, Mo Ziyang put on a rare polite smile. He also pulled out a pack of cigarettes from the car and slipped it into the guard’s hand.
“You kid… wait here a minute.”
The old guard, who was full of anger a moment ago, suddenly softened after receiving the cigarettes. He went back inside the booth with a much friendlier expression.
Lin Muxi, who watched the whole scene, couldn’t help but look surprised.
“That angry old man was dealt with so easily?”
“Of course. Don’t you understand how the world works?” Mo Ziyang gave a mysterious smile.
“Really? What if he comes back out and scolds you again?” Lin Muxi muttered, clearly not convinced by his so-called “connections.”
“You’ll see. He’ll open the gate for me soon.”
Mo Ziyang pointed toward the booth. The guard was on the phone, and sure enough, after hanging up, the automatic gate slowly opened. At the same time, the guard even waved at them from inside, apologizing.
Seeing that the guard really didn’t give them any more trouble, Lin Muxi looked at Mo Ziyang with a little admiration.
So this is what people mean by “money makes things easier”?
