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

"Watch where you're going, don't keep walking backwards."

Bai Yu sighed and only released Mu Anqi after he was completely safe.

"Um... thank you."

Mu Anqi blushed and was very shy when she got out of Bai Yu's arms.

Damn it, this feeling of my heart pounding...

I don't even dare to look him in the eye anymore.

Mu Anqi's eyes darted away as she hurriedly turned away.

You were almost hit by a car just now.

"Isn't this... you're still here?"

Mu Anqi gave a soft hum, her cute little face still flushed.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her face, making it even warmer.

"I'm really curious, how did you spend your time while I was away?"

Bai Yu remained as sharp-tongued as ever.

Of course, this sharp tongue is only directed at people like Mu Anqi, whom I know very well.

If I said that to someone I wasn't very familiar with, I'd probably get posted online.

However, these words had a different meaning to Mu Anqi.

Is he concerned about me?

Mu Anqi felt a warmth in her heart, but she still maintained her proud and aloof demeanor.

"Hmph~ Mind your own business! Come on! Let's go take a look around!"

After saying that, Mu Anqi pulled Bai Yu into the snack street.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

The sounds of frying stinky tofu, grilling squid, and tossing food in a wok...

very noisy.

This was Bai Yu's first thought; the food street was absolutely packed with people.

If Mu Anqi hadn't been holding onto Bai Yu's wrist, the two would have been separated by the crowd.

"Handsome guys and beautiful girls, see if there's anything you'd like to eat!"

At a stall called "Black Vest Barbecue," a middle-aged owner smiled and said to the two of them.

He wasn't idle either, grabbing a handful of skewers and grilling them on the rack.

The meat skewers sizzled and dripped oil over the charcoal fire, and when chili powder was sprinkled on top, the smoke from the oil hit us directly in the face.

That night, the wind blew directly into Bai Yu's face.

"It's so strong."

Bai Yu frowned and tried to drive away the smoke with his hand, but to no avail.

Mu Anqi hid directly behind Bai Yu, laughing incessantly.

"Hahaha! Let's have some grilled skewers!"

"Then take whatever you want to eat."

Bai Yu felt like a parent taking their daughter shopping.

Mu Anqi is so lively, she seems to have inexhaustible energy all day long.

After filling a small box with the barbecue, he pulled Bai Yu around the barbecue stall for a while.

It's still too incongruous to put a girl as delicate and lovely as Mu Anqi in this bustling food street.

Before she could keep an eye on him, Bai Yu was pulled by Mu Anqi to a street vendor's stall.

"Hey beautiful, see if there's anything you like."

The stall owner immediately smiled when he saw someone arrive.

People who look like a young couple are likely to buy from you if you compliment them a bit more.

"Hmm, let me see!"

Mu Anqi pursed her lips and looked at the items on the stall.

Although they are mostly poorly made bracelets, hair clips, and the like, at least you can tell they are handmade.

"This bracelet would definitely suit you, look at this one."

The stall owner was very enthusiastic, introducing the good things on his stall to Mu Anqi.

"Is that your boyfriend behind you? Oh my, this is perfect for two people to wear together."

Hearing the stall owner's words, Mu Anqi's face turned red.

Especially that line, "Is he your boyfriend?"

Mu Anqi neither nodded nor shook her head; this ambiguity was best.

"No, we're just ordinary friends."

Bai Yu's calm voice came through.

Pshaw, what a lousy metaphor! A terrible metaphor!

This is such a spoilsport, ruining the atmosphere.

"Then I'll take this, and that hair clip too."

Mu Anqi chose the bracelet the stall owner had mentioned, as well as a flower-patterned hair clip.

"Okay, okay."

The stall owner was overjoyed and quickly took it down for Mu Anqi.

After paying, Mu Anqi happily took her purchases and returned to the barbecue stall.

After finding a seat and sitting down, Mu Anqi gave one of the bracelets to Bai Yu.

Hmph! I, Mu Anqi, am not a district!

"Bai Yu, put it on!"

Why?

Bai Yu forced a smile and accepted the bracelet Mu Anqi gave him.

The entire bracelet is red, with some jewel-like objects strung on it.

In the very center, there is a small silver fish.

This bracelet looks much more elaborate than the one Luo Qingyan gave me.

"Oh, just put it on, why are you making so many questions?"

Mu Anqi snorted and put her own ring on her wrist.

A black bracelet hung loosely on her fair and slender wrist.

Except for the color of the rope, it is basically the same as Bai Yu's.

"Alright, alright."

Bai Yu compromised and put the red bracelet on her wrist.

Why do I have to wear a wristband every time I go out?

Last time it was Luo Qingyan, this time it's Mu Anqi.

Anyway, I have to take it off before I go home, it wouldn't be good if my younger sister saw it.

By the way, ask if my sister has gotten home yet.

After thinking it over, Bai Yu turned on her phone.

Because I had Do Not Disturb mode on, I only realized I had a lot of messages when I took out my phone.

Some were posted by Luo Qingyan, and others were from the class group chat...

However, my younger sister is still my top priority.

Bai Yu opened the "sister" chat window and started typing on the screen.

Bai Yu: Are you home yet?

My sister replied shortly after.

Bai Ruoxi: We're home, brother.

Bai Yu: Let's take a picture.

Bai Ruoxi: Brother, I'm taking a shower, are you going to film now?

Upon seeing this line of text, Bai Yu blushed and hurriedly typed on the screen.

Bai Yu: No need!

Bai Ruoxi: Oh.

After learning that her sister had returned home, Bai Yu felt relieved.

"Bai Yu, who are you messaging?"

Sitting opposite Bai Yu, Mu Anqi noticed his slightly shy expression and curiously leaned over.

"No, I was texting my sister."

Bai Yu touched his nose and turned off his phone screen.

But before he turned off the screen, Mu Anqi still managed to see a little bit.

"Luo Qingyan sent you a message... what did she send?"

Mu Anqi sensed a sense of crisis, picked up her bag, and sat down next to Bai Yu.

"Uh... I don't know."

"have a look."

Why do you care so much?

"curious."

Mu Anqi kept rubbing against Bai Yu's shoulder, as if she were being coquettish.

"Just take a look~ just take a look~"

"All right."

Bai Yu couldn't resist, so she sighed and turned on her phone.

Luo Qingyan posted a picture, and then added a sentence.

Luo Qingyan: [Image]

Luo Qingyan: Thank you for the cookies, they were delicious!

Luo Qingyan: (Cat wink emoji)

That picture is a selfie of Luo Qingyan holding a cookie.

She was still wearing a white dress, and the photos looked exceptionally good; it was as if the lighting and angles had been specially chosen.

In the photo, Luo Qingyan is holding a cat-shaped cookie in one hand and has a gentle smile on her face.

She gives people a feeling of warmth and comfort, without the aloofness of a typical school beauty.

"Hey! Are you swooning? Lost in your own world?"

Mu Anqi's voice, tinged with a hint of jealousy, rang out.
