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

Chapter 84 Surrounded by Wolves?

Chu Jiuli glanced at the empty seat beside her and slowly looked away. In class, Li Cuilan was speaking English, her notebook filled with the key points Zhang Muchen had covered last time.

What Li Cuilan said coincided with what she said.

Li Cuilan's voice awakened Chu Jiuli's memories of the evening self-study tutoring session. The double infusion of knowledge made her remember the key points exceptionally well.

It was like an epiphany.

Chu Jiuli's eyes unconsciously drifted back to the empty space.

There was only air there.

……

The small county town has no airport; you can only take a taxi to the city.

You must get a driver's license once you turn 18!
Zhang Muchen thought to himself.

Sitting in the back seat of the ride-hailing car, Zhang Muchen fastened his seatbelt.

Be cautious, cherish your life.

"Hey, Master. Can we change the song?"

Zhang Muchen said in a very familiar tone, "I want to hear 'Glorious Years'."

The driver, Mr. Liu, who was in his forties, glanced at the rearview mirror and chuckled: "Young man, you're so young, and you're still listening to the songs I listened to when I was a kid?"

"Good songs have no age, just like Jin Ping Mei is always new and interesting."

"Young man, that's a very clever metaphor," Master Liu chuckled.

"Satisfy you."

Wong Ka Kui's voice rang out from inside the car.

The bells toll, signaling the way home.

In his life

[With a hint of melancholy]

Zhang Muchen hummed a song as he tapped his fingers on the screen.

Zhang Muchen's message appeared in the group chat of our loving family.

I've gone to Beijing, don't worry about me.

Chu Youting also received a private message from Zhang Muchen: [I've gone to the capital. I'll bring you a gift when I get back.]

Chu Youting didn't reply, but Wang Shishi was the first to respond in the group.

Wang Shishi: [?]

Zhang Muchen smiled, knowing Wang Shishi wouldn't believe him. He casually posted his location and a photo of his ride-hailing car in the group chat.

moment.

Wang Shishi: [Holy crap, buddy, you really went to Beijing?]

Where are you going?

Of course, we're going to catch Sister Yang.

But I can't say that.

He quickly typed a reply: 【Accompanying family to the doctor】

Excellent reason, impeccable.

A few seconds later, my phone vibrated. It was a private message from Wang Shishi.

Dude, is it serious? You've even gone to Beijing for treatment?

Immediately afterwards, Wang Shishi transferred 20000 yuan.
Wang Shishi: [Dude, life in Beijing is expensive, especially medical care. Here's a little something for you.]

Zhang Muchen was taken aback.

Is it that direct?

He stared at his phone screen, his fingertips unconsciously stroking his cheek.

The driver's car entered the highway, and the buildings below the highway rushed past.

"It seems... living off a woman is quite enjoyable."

Zhang Muchen silently recited the words, and the scene of him embracing Wang Shishi outside room 703 flashed through his mind.

The soft, delicate touch and the misty atmosphere...

"You're a pretty good guy, what a pity..."

Zhang Muchen's gaze returned to the group list, and the WeChat profile pictures of several girls were reflected in his pupils.

"I have good teeth, I can eat both soft rice and hard rice."

Mr. Liu heard the passengers in the back murmur a few words, and he looked up and glanced at the rearview mirror.

hiss~
Master Liu was startled.

It turns out there really are people who can give an evil smile.

……

The second period is a break between classes.

Wang Shishi and Chu Jiuli went to the hot water room to get water.

Wang Shishi unscrewed the lid of the cup, filled it with hot water, and said, "Jiuli, my buddy went to the capital with his family for medical treatment. I don't know when he'll be back."

Chu Jiuli tilted her head and asked softly, "Shishi, how did you know?"

"He posted it in the group chat. Oh, I forgot you don't check your phone."

Wang Shishi took Chu Jiuli's hand: "Let's go, class is about to start." After returning to her seat, Chu Jiuli lowered her eyes and secretly reached for her phone in the desk drawer.

She gently unlocked the screen and glanced at it quickly.

"He really did go to the capital for medical treatment..."

A moment of silence.

Chu Jiuli's eyes flickered slightly as she tapped Zhang Muchen's WeChat profile picture with her slender white fingers.

Wishing your family member a speedy recovery.

She paused for a moment, then added: "I'll help you catch up on your missed lessons when I get back."

……

Beijing, business hotel.

Liu Wuyang walked out of the bathroom, still covered in warm steam.

She wore a loose white bathrobe, her toes slightly curled. Red nail polish reflected an alluring vibrancy on the water droplets.

Liu Wuyang slowly walked to the bedside and gently wiped the water stains off her body with the edge of her bathrobe.

Her wet hair fell slightly down her shoulders, with a few unruly strands curling slightly.

She picked up her phone and gently swiped her fair fingers across the screen to unlock it.

Two WeChat messages caught my eye.

Zhang Muchen: [Yang-jie, what are you doing?]

Is the hotel location you gave me correct?

While drying her hair with a towel, Liu Wuyang typed with one hand: [Just finished showering]

[The hotel is correct. I'm in room 1921, and I've booked you a room in room 1923 next door. You can just come and check in tomorrow night.]

[And Zhang Muchen, you're on your phone again? You really need to be disciplined.]

After sending the message, Zhang Muchen did not reply.

Liu Wuyang gently placed her phone on the bedside table and turned back to continue drying her hair.

The damp hair carried a faint scent of shampoo.

Suddenly, my phone vibrated.

Professor Wang Changqing sent me a voice message.

Hey Xiaoliu, the lab's planning a lunch gathering at noon. Why don't you come too? It'll be a good opportunity for you to get to know everyone.

Liu Wuyang lightly touched the screen with her slender fingers and quickly pressed the voice button.

[No problem, Professor Wang. I'd also like to get to know everyone better.]

After sending the message, Liu Wuyang continued drying her hair. Unbeknownst to her, on the other end of the phone, in the brain-computer interface laboratory…

Professor Wang glanced around at the group of science and engineering men in the lab who had surrounded him.

When he turned his phone volume up to the maximum and played the voice message Liu Wuyang had just sent, the engineering students in the lab erupted in excitement, jumping up and down with joy.

Professor Wang pursed his lips helplessly: "Is this alright now? I'll call Xiao Liu out for dinner, are you satisfied now?"

"Satisfied! Satisfied!"

"Professor is awesome!"

"Ho ho ho ho~"

Professor Wang fell silent as he looked at the researchers who had suddenly transformed into primates.

"Sigh, it would be strange if Xiaoliu liked you guys..."

……

In the back seat of the ride-hailing car, Zhang Muchen looked down at the WeChat message sent by the school beauty. Just as he was about to reply, Liu Wuyang's location sharing message popped up on the screen along with her profile.

[Had lunch with the lab staff]

Zhang Muchen's fingers rapidly tapped the screen: [Are there many girls in the lab?]

A few seconds later, Liu Wuyang's message popped up again: [Only me]

Zhang Muchen narrowed his eyes.

Surrounded by wolves?

Tsk tsk tsk, thank goodness I made it through today.

He put down his phone, sat up straight, and looked out the car window at the rapidly receding street scene.

Soft music was playing in the car.

"Driver, how much longer until we get to the airport?"

"Soon, in about ten minutes."

Mr. Liu glanced in the rearview mirror, stepped on the gas, and overtook the large truck in front of him.

"Young man, where are you trying to fly to?"
