When their lovely childhood friend returned, they were all in a panic!

On her way home, Bai Yu's mind was in turmoil.

I did speak a bit too harshly; those words and attitudes may have hurt Mu Anqi.

But Bai Yu was conflicted; to be honest, she was quite conflicted herself.

I'm always unwilling to be the first to speak up.

His feelings for Mu Anqi were also vague.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu picked up her phone.

Why don't you send Mu Anqi a message, apologize or something?

After thinking it over carefully, Bai Yu turned off her phone screen.

It's better to apologize in person, since I'll have to go back to school after the weekend anyway.

On the way back, Bai Yu bought a tiramisu at a dessert shop to take back to her younger sister.

After all, it's not good to go out and come back empty-handed.

No, it can't be said that they returned empty-handed.

Bai Yu glanced at the small bag in her hand; it contained the earphones that Luo Qingyan had given her.

After a long and tiring journey, it was already getting dark when we got back.

Bai Yu returned home carrying the newly bought tiramisu.

The lights in the house were off, with only light coming through the crack under Bai Ruoxi's room door.

Seeing this, Bai Yu cautiously went into the house, put her things on the table, and then slipped away to take a bath.

If my sister finds out I'm coming home so late, she'll inevitably give me another round of sniffing.

During their date, he hugged and cuddled with Luo Qingyan, so he inevitably picked up a bit of her perfume.

To prevent Bai Ruoxi from doing anything rash, it would be best to take a bath first.

I felt much better after taking a shower.

Much of the fatigue on my body has been washed away.

Bai Yu took off the couple's bracelet that Luo Qingyan had given her and stuffed it into her pocket.

One reason was to prevent his younger sister from seeing it.

Secondly, since they are a couple who have been employed for one day, they should move on after that day.

It's like playing a murder mystery game; once you leave the room, you're no longer connected to the other players in the storyline.

Bai Yu can still distinguish between these things.

Let's just treat this as a dream.

I had just finished showering when I pushed open the door and came out.

Bai Yu noticed that the living room lights had turned on.

Bai Ruoxi came out at some point and sat on the sofa in her pajamas.

She was dressed very casually in her pajamas, with the buttons haphazardly fastened and revealing large expanses of her fair skin.

"Hmm? Ruoxi, why aren't you wearing your pajamas properly again?"

Bai Yu spoke while buttoning his shirt.

"Brother, where did you go?"

Instead of answering Bai Yu's question, Bai Ruoxi asked the question herself first.

"Me..."

Bai Yu was speechless.

On the way back, I was so focused on Mu Anqi that I forgot to think of a reason.

His eyes darted around nervously, scanning every corner of the living room.

Finally, he stopped at the headphones that Luo Qingyan had given him.

"Oh! Bro, I staked out the mall today and snagged some limited-edition headphones."

Bai Yu forced a smile and pointed to the small bag on the table.

"I remember Ruoxi likes sweets, so I bought tiramisu on the way back."

After saying that, Bai Ruoxi remained silent.

She looked at Bai Yu quietly, her expression unchanged.

This made Bai Yu feel a little flustered.

Why this strange feeling again? It's like I've been caught cheating...

"Thank you, brother."

After a short silence, Bai Ruoxi got off the sofa and took small steps to get the tiramisu.

Xiao Ruoxi knows everything, she just doesn't want to say it.

She's been with her brother for so long, doesn't she know what it means for him to lie?

I really hate this kind of older brother...

Bai Yu was unaware that her lie had been seen through.

He actually felt relieved and went back to his room.

"Phew~"

Why do I always feel a sense of relief when I'm lying in bed?

I rolled over and turned on my phone.

Another bunch of text messages that I haven't replied to in time.

Bai Yu quickly browsed through the posts; most of them were from Luo Qingyan.

However... there was no message from Mu Anqi.

Is she still angry? She did speak a bit harshly.

I must apologize in person when I get back to school.

After thinking it over, Bai Yu opened Luo Qingyan's chat window again.

Luo Qingyan: I did very well today, I really like it.

Luo Qingyan: Transfer (2000)

Luo Qingyan: Looking forward to the next time

Luo Qingyan: (Cat wink emoji)

Seeing this, Bai Yu took a deep breath and silently accepted the two thousand yuan transfer.

Is there going to be a next time?

But a rich woman is indeed a rich woman; if you win her favor, she'll shower you with gold coins.

Today I've completely broken even.

Bai Yu: Payment received

Bai Yu: Thank you.

Luo Qingyan replied instantly after the message was sent.

Luo Qingyan: You're home?

Bai Yu: Hmm

Luo Qingyan: Go like my post on WeChat Moments! I blurred it out at your request!

Bai Yu: Good

Why does it feel like the messages Luo Qingyan is sending me are a little different?

Bai Yu frowned slightly and scrolled up to look at the previous chat history.

After looking at it, he compared it with the current one.

It seems like the current ones are more emotional.

Forget it, I won't speculate anymore.

If we continue to speculate wildly, we must resort to skepticism with a degree of conviction:

Does she like me?

I only noticed the little red dot on my Moments after exiting the chat window.

Upon opening the link, I saw that my friend Luo Qingyan had mentioned you.

Luo Qingyan posted all the sweet photos she took today at once.

This includes, but is not limited to, photos of two people holding milk tea, two intertwined hearts on couple bracelets, and the lifting of the red veil at the end of an escape room game...

And claw machines and stuff like that...

Luo Qingyan had covered his face with a kitten emoji.

The title of the post on WeChat Moments was quite meaningful.

"A flower in a mirror, the moon's reflection in the water"

Bai Yu and Luo Qingyan's mutual friends have all liked the post, including Mu Anqi.

Most people were shocked, as Luo Qingyan's move was tantamount to making their relationship public.

However, he did not disclose who he was in a relationship with.

In any case, they all ruled out Bai Yu, who had just broken up with her boyfriend.

Only Mu Anqi knew who was hidden by the kitten emoji.

Seeing this, Bai Yu silently put the couple's bracelet into the bedside table.

If they find out, my life will probably be miserable.

After thinking it over, Bai Yu silently gave it a thumbs up.

Like Mu Anqi, she didn't make any other comments, she just gave it a thumbs up.

After all that fuss, it was getting late.

I'll update the novel again tomorrow!

Bai Yu lay down on the bed and fell asleep without even taking off his glasses.

Bai Yu was asleep, but Mu Anqi couldn't sleep.

Mu Anqi: Class Psychology Representative! Class Psychology Representative! Class Psychology Representative!

Mu Anqi: I feel uneasy, I feel uneasy, I feel uneasy...

Mu Anqi lay on her own bed, rolling around on it.

Ahhhhh! My dearest girl, please reply to my message!!

She bombarded Lin Siyu with messages, and it took her quite a while to reply.

Lin Siyu: What's wrong, Anqi?

Mu Anqi: Have you seen Luo Qingyan's WeChat Moments?

Lin Siyu: I saw it, and it was quite a surprise. I didn't expect that she would start dating someone right after ending her so-called contractual relationship with Bai Yu.

Lin Siyu: By the way, did you run into Bai Yuyao at Times Square?

Mu Anqi: The boy whose face was blurred in Luo Qingyan's WeChat Moments is Bai Yu...

Lin Siyu: ?
