The school beauty is aloof? Whatever, she has a younger sister.

Chapter 162 A Childhood Sweetheart Appears from the Sky: A Sure Victory

At 10:05, the lights in the teaching buildings were turned off one by one, and the campus gradually returned to quiet.

Zhang Muchen and several girls walked out of classroom 703 and slowly walked down the stairs.

At the corner where plum trees were planted, Chu Jiuli and her sister parted ways with Zhang Muchen and Wang Shishi, and walked towards the west gate of the school.

That area is closer to their residential compound.

Wang Shishi watched the two girls walking side by side and tilted her head to ask, "Dude, Jiu Li lives in Fuxing Community, but what about You Ting? Do you know where she lives? I always see them walking together."

Zhang Muchen shook his head.

"Then I'll secretly follow Youting next time and see where she lives." Wang Shishi blinked, looking very serious.

Zhang Muchen raised an eyebrow and flicked Wang Shishi's forehead: "You better behave yourself."

He still remembered that time he secretly went to Chu Jiuli's house to find Xiaoyouzi, but Wang Shishi, that brat, suddenly showed up, causing him and Chu Youting to hide in the closet and almost get caught in the act.

Although the feeling of holding the little pomelo tightly that time was quite wonderful—soft and fragrant.

Especially Xiaoyouzi's chest, it seems like it could hold the whole world.

But
"Once is enough of this experience of almost getting caught," Zhang Muchen thought to himself.

Wang Shishi, standing to the side, rubbed her forehead where she had been hit, pouting. Zhang Muchen didn't bother to reply and walked towards the school gate alone.

Wang Shishi jogged up to catch up, her ponytail swinging back and forth.

She caught up with Zhang Muchen, then turned around and stopped: "Dude, why didn't you ride your electric scooter home today?"

"Someone is coming to pick me up tonight, so I won't be riding my bike."

"Really? Someone's coming to pick you up?" Wang Shishi's eyes lit up. "My driver has a fever and can't come. I was hoping to ride your electric scooter. Can I hitch a ride now?"

“Come on in.” Zhang Muchen nodded. “Let me introduce you to my neighbor, a very beautiful aunt.”

"Hehehe, okay."

The two walked side by side to the school gate. Zhang Muchen took out his phone and opened the WeChat message that Xu Qing had sent that afternoon.

[Mu Chen, I'll pick you up tonight. This is my car, it's easy to recognize, it doesn't have license plates.]

The message was accompanied by a picture of a black BMW.

Zhang Muchen clicked his tongue and said, "Aunt Xu is indeed rich. She bought a BMW 7 Series as soon as she returned to China."

As they were talking, a black BMW slowly drove into view and came to a steady stop by the school gate.

The car's paint gleamed softly under the streetlights, and the headlights were focused and not dazzling, like a black panther sleeping quietly.

No license plate, low-key and reserved demeanor.

“This is it.” Zhang Muchen recognized it at a glance.

He subconsciously thought that Aunt Xu Qing made the right choice in selecting a BMW.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is too flashy, and the Audi A8 lacks warmth. On the contrary, the BMW 7 Series, with its understated elegance and sophistication, perfectly matches her personality.

The two walked to the car, and the doors unlocked automatically. Then, the driver's side window slowly rolled down, revealing Xu Qing's gentle profile.

"Aunt Xu," Zhang Muchen said with a smile, her eyes crinkling, "this is my classmate Wang Shishi. Could you give her a ride if you're going the same way?"

Xu Qing glanced at Wang Shishi and smiled gently: "Of course, get in the car."

The interior lights came on, and the two climbed into the back seat.

Wang Shishi blinked, curiously examining the elegant interior of the car.

"Auntie, this car is nice. It has a calm and sophisticated feel, and it suits you very well." She said with a smile, her fingers still touching the seat.

"Really?" Xu Qing smiled and turned to look at her. "Thank you for the compliment, little beauty. Where do you live? I'll use navigation to get there."

“Shouhong Villa, East Gate,” Wang Shishi replied with a smile.

Upon hearing the words "Shouhong Villa," Xu Qing paused in her actions and glanced at her a few more times without making a sound.

The girl had fair skin and delicate features, and her smile revealed shallow dimples. Especially her crescent-shaped eyes, which radiated youthful energy.

"This young girl lives in an upscale neighborhood?" Xu Qing wondered to herself, her gaze lingering on Wang Shishi's face for a few seconds before casually looking away.

She then glanced at the rearview mirror.

In the mirror, Zhang Muchen was looking down at his phone, his shoulder slightly leaning to the side, very close to Wang Shishi.

Xu Qing lowered her eyebrows slightly.

She suddenly realized that Zhang Muchen had inherited this trait from his father—he was never short of pretty girls around him from a young age.

"Xixi," Xu Qing sighed softly in her heart, her fingertips gripping the steering wheel, "you'd better step up your game."

The car was put into gear and started smoothly. The BMW slowly drove out of the school gate. The night was deep, and the headlights pierced through the quiet streets, the city's neon lights reflected on the windows, flashing by.

A soft, gentle melody was playing in the car, the volume just right, like a gentle breeze brushing past your ears.

"Mu Chen, are you two classmates?" Xu Qing asked, looking straight ahead.

“Yes, Auntie. We’re in the same class, and we even sit at adjacent desks,” Wang Shishi chimed in with a smile.

"You're so beautiful, didn't Mu Chen have any ulterior motives towards you?" Xu Qing teased with a smile.

Wang Shishi's eyes flickered slightly, then her face switched to a frank expression: "He and I are just buddies, it's a friendship."

Xu Qing was taken aback, clearly not expecting this answer.

Wang Shishi continued, "Auntie, even if my buddy has feelings for me, he wouldn't. Do you know who his deskmate is? She's the school beauty from No. 1 High School."

"Oh?" Xu Qing's eyes flickered slightly, but she quickly concealed her emotions and simply looked ahead with a smile. "Could you elaborate? I'd like to hear it."

"Great! Great!" Wang Shishi poked her head out from the back row as if she had found a kindred spirit, and leaned in with a gossipy look on her face.

Zhang Muchen, who was standing nearby, pulled her back: "Auntie, don't listen to her nonsense."

"Nonsense?" Xu Qing asked with a half-smile, "Which part of what you just said was nonsense?"

Zhang Muchen paused for a moment, then remained silent.

The statement that he had no feelings for her... is a bit problematic.

He coughed silently in his mind.

I'm very fair; I've had my eye on all beautiful women equally.

Seeing that Zhang Muchen didn't speak, Xu Qing turned to Wang Shishi and said, "Go on, Auntie really enjoys listening to these little gossips."

"Great! Great!" Wang Shishi was delighted to have met someone with whom she could share gossip.

Zhang Muchen glanced at her helplessly, then leaned against the car window and remained silent, letting her talk.

"Auntie, our school's beauty queen is named Chu Jiuli, she's absolutely gorgeous!" Wang Shishi exclaimed excitedly. "And she's incredibly aloof, you know, a flower on a high mountain, right?"

"I caught her and her buddy in multimedia classroom 703 last time."

Five or six minutes later, the BMW stopped in front of Shouhong Villa.

Wang Shishi covered her head where she had been hit, and stuck her tongue out at Zhang Muchen as she got out of the car.

Zhang Muchen lazily rolled down the car window halfway.

Seeing this, Wang Shishi immediately composed herself and waved to Xu Qing in the driver's seat: "Bye-bye Auntie, drive carefully~"

After saying that, he ran back to the villa area in a flash.

Inside the car, Zhang Muchen shook his head as he watched her retreating figure: "That little mouth of hers talks too much..."

Xu Qing started the car with a smile: "She's a very cute girl."

The car slowly drove back to the main road. The night was getting darker, and the lights outside the window swept across the two people's faces.

Xu Qing glanced at the rearview mirror: "What Shishi was talking about earlier... in multimedia classroom 703, you and Chu Jiuli were alone in the room and even kissed?"

Zhang Muchen sat up straight: "Auntie, just take what she says with a grain of salt, don't take it seriously."

He thought to himself, "This is all just Wang Shishi's imagination. I also want to actually kiss her."

Xu Qing didn't ask any more questions and focused on watching the road.

A dozen minutes later, Xu Qing returned to her home, which had been cleaned by a housekeeper.

She leaned back on the sofa, tapping her fingers on the screen: [Xixi, I picked Mu Chen up from school tonight and saw her coming out with a girl. They seemed pretty close.]

【Xi Xi, let me gather more information】

On the other side of the ocean, Xu Ranxi looked at the news and her nose wrinkled slightly.

Her little hands flew across the screen: "Mom, I don't like him anyway. What business is it of my which girl he's close to?"

After sending the message, she paused, staring at the chat box in silence for a few seconds. Then, she suddenly gritted her teeth and added another message: "Is that girl... pretty?"

Xu Qing replied instantly: [Not as pretty as Xi Xi]

Xu Ranxi pouted and muttered under her breath, "So that means it's pretty good-looking too..."

A while later, Xu Qing sent another message: [Don't be afraid, Xixi, a childhood sweetheart will surely win.]

Xu Ranxi was taken aback.

Mom, where did you learn all these words?
