Shen Ye heard the voice behind him and turned around.

He saw Mu Jingyan walking towards him with elegant steps.

She wore a blue dress today, the hem swaying gently with her steps, shimmering softly in the morning sunlight.

The dress has a simple design without any extra embellishments, but it looks exceptionally good on her.

With her height of over 1.8 meters and delicate face, she looks just like a supermodel.

Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, shimmering softly in the sunlight.

Her expression remained indifferent, revealing no emotion, yet she exuded a cool and elegant aura.

The girls surrounding Shen Ye were stunned for a moment.

They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise and envy.

Who is this girl?

How can it be so beautiful?

And he's way too tall!

Mu Jingyan walked up to Shen Ye and stopped.

Her gaze swept over the girls without any emotion, as if she were looking at stones on the roadside.

Then she turned her head and looked at Shen Ye.

"Someone you know?" she asked.

Shen Ye shook his head. "I don't know him, he's just a stranger."

"Oh." Mu Jingyan nodded, then looked at the girls.

"Is there something you need?" she asked.

Her tone was calm, but the girls inexplicably felt a sense of pressure.

Seeing Mu Jingyan's cold gaze, they subconsciously took a step back.

"N-nothing..." one of the girls quickly said, "We were just... just passing by."

"Yes, yes, we were just passing by," another girl chimed in. "Well...we'll be going then."

After saying that, they turned and ran away as if they had been frightened by something.

Shen Ye watched their retreating figures and couldn't help but laugh.

"Look at you," he said to Mu Jingyan, "you've scared them all."

Mu Jingyan didn't speak, but just glanced at him indifferently.

Her gaze fell on Shen Ye, sizing him up from head to toe.

Shen Ye wore a white T-shirt, black casual pants, and white sneakers today.

It's a very simple outfit, but it looks exceptionally good on him.

A handsome face, a tall figure, and that aloof demeanor...

As Mu Jingyan watched, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"You're dressed quite well today," she said.

Shen Ye was taken aback for a moment. "Not bad?"

"Hmm." Mu Jingyan nodded, "At least I'm not as ugly as before."

Shen Ye was speechless.

When did he become ugly?

He always dresses up carefully when he goes out, how could he possibly be ugly?

But Mu Jingyan clearly didn't want to argue with him about this issue.

She turned around and walked towards the library.

"Let's go, don't waste time."

Shen Ye watched her retreating figure and sighed helplessly.

This guy is really...

He quickly caught up with her, and the two walked side by side on the street in the early morning.

After walking for a while, Shen Ye suddenly spoke.

"Mu Jingyan".

"Um?"

Have you had breakfast?

Mu Jingyan paused for a moment, then continued walking forward.

"I ate it," she said.

"What did you eat?"

"...bread and milk."

Shen Ye nodded. "Oh, I haven't eaten yet."

Mu Jingyan turned her head and looked at him. "You haven't eaten yet?"

"Mm." Shen Ye nodded. "I got up in a bit of a rush and didn't have time to eat."

Mu Jingyan remained silent for a while.

"Why don't you have some breakfast first before you go?"

Shen Ye's eyes lit up. "Sure."

Mu Jingyan nodded. "Then let's go."

The two changed direction and randomly picked a breakfast shop by the roadside.

The shop wasn't big, but it was very clean, and there were already quite a few people sitting inside.

Shen Ye found a seat by the window and sat down, with Mu Jingyan sitting opposite him.

The owner came over and asked them what they wanted to eat.

Shen Ye glanced at the menu on the wall, then ordered a basket of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and a bowl of soy milk.

After the waiter made a note of it, he turned and left.

Shen Ye leaned back in his chair, looking out at the street.

The morning sun shone on the street, and pedestrians walked by in twos and threes; everything seemed very quiet.

Soon, the waiter brought out the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).

A steaming basket of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) exudes an enticing aroma.

Shen Ye picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a small steamed bun, and put it in his mouth.

He took a bite, and the delicious broth burst in his mouth; it tasted great.

He couldn't resist picking up another one and began to enjoy it immensely.

Mu Jingyan sat opposite him, quietly watching him eat.

She didn't speak, only occasionally taking a sip of water, her gaze fixed on Shen Ye's face.

Shen Ye was so focused on eating that he didn't notice her gaze at all.

He ate several in one go before slowing down.

He looked up and saw Mu Jingyan looking at him.

"Aren't you going to eat?" he asked.

Mu Jingyan shook her head. "I'm not hungry."

"Are you really not hungry?"

"real."

Shen Ye looked at her, then picked up a small steamed bun and handed it to her.

"Want to try some?" he said. "It tastes pretty good."

Mu Jingyan looked at the steamed buns in front of her, then at Shen Ye.

Her eyes held a complex expression, but she quickly concealed it.

She gently lifted a strand of hair from her side and then lightly bit the xiaolongbao (soup dumpling).

Her movements were very elegant, as if she were doing something very formal.

She took a bite, and the broth spread in her mouth.

Shen Ye watched her finish eating and asked, "Was it good?"

Mu Jingyan swallowed the last bite, then said indifferently, "So-so."

"Just okay?" Shen Ye raised an eyebrow. "Then why did you finish it all?"

Mu Jingyan did not answer, but continued to drink her water.

Shen Ye smiled, picked up another small steamed bun, and handed it to her.

"Want one more?"

Mu Jingyan was stunned.

She looked at the steamed buns in front of her, then at Shen Ye.

His eyes held a hint of amusement, as if he were deliberately teasing her.

She hesitated for a moment, but still leaned forward and gently bit the xiaolongbao.

She ate very slowly, as if savoring something precious.

Shen Ye found it quite amusing to watch her eat.

"Didn't you say it was just okay?" he asked. "Why are you still eating?"

Mu Jingyan paused for a moment.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, but she quickly masked it.

"None of your business," she mumbled, her voice tinged with embarrassment and annoyance.

What no one noticed was that Mu Jingyan's lips intentionally or unintentionally traced the tip of the chopsticks.

After feeding her, Shen Ye continued eating the remaining buns.

Mu Jingyan watched as the chopsticks touched the corner of Shen Ye's lips and smiled subtly.
