Mu Ning Jing clutched the letter tightly and sobbed.
Shuxin held Mu Ning Jing's shoulders tightly and also burst into tears. "Auntie Zhao did this to let you live a better life. You can't let her down."
After Mu Ning Jing returned to Fan City, Shuxin asked her to get some rest. However, she disagreed and went to work immediately.
Shu Xin thought that perhaps going to work could distract her some of her energy and stop thinking about those sad things, so she let her be.
Shuxin would take Mu Ning Jing with her whenever there were social events or outings at work. She hoped that Mu Ning Jing could see the outside world more and walk out of the shadow of the past as soon as possible.
…
The exams were in a few days, so Shuxin went back to school to read some books. When she arrived at the architecture building, she bumped into Huo Jibai, who had come from the sports field behind the school.
He was wearing the beige sportswear that Shuxin had chosen for him. He was holding a basketball casually on his waist with his right hand. His long fringe was drenched in sweat and was scattered in front of his forehead. Obviously, he had just come back from playing basketball.
He saw Shuxin and called out to her.
Shuxin stopped in her tracks and waited for him to come over. As he approached, she could smell the strong scent of male hormones mixed with sweat. "What's the matter?"
"Can't I call you if there's nothing?" Huo Jibai raised his eyebrows unhappily.
Shu Xin choked for a moment, then the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. "Yes, too capable."
Huo Jibai turned and walked towards the school building. After taking a few steps, he turned back and saw that Shuxin was still standing there. He frowned and said, "Follow me."
"… Oh." Shuxin walked over. "Why are you looking for me?"
Huo Jibai asked as he walked upstairs. "She gave you the jade bracelet?"
Her?
Shuxin was stunned for a moment before she realized that Huo Jibai was referring to Yao Huiqin. "Yes, actually your grandma …"
Huo Jibai cast a sidelong glance at Shuxin and said coldly, "She's not my grandmother."
Shuxin pursed her lips and took a few steps closer to Huo Jibai. "I think Auntie Yao is a really nice person. Maybe you …"
"Don't mention her in front of me," Huo Jibai knew what Shuxin wanted to say when he saw her persuasive expression, so he interrupted her coldly.
Shuxin snorted. "You were the one who suggested it first."
"…" Huo Jibai.
When they were about to reach the classroom, Huo Jibai tossed the basketball in his hand to Shuxin. "Bring it in. I'm going to wash my face." Then, he turned around and went to the bathroom.
Shuxin had just taken a few steps with the ball in her arms when she felt a burning gaze on her. She looked up and saw Yang Yiqian standing at the back door of the classroom, glaring at her as if she was going to eat her up.
Shu Xin recalled the time when Yang Yiqian got her drunk at Overflowing Fragrance Brothel. In an instant, her expression turned ugly. She glanced at her with disdain and then looked away. She ignored her and walked past her.
"Shuxin, stop right there."
Shuxin didn't even bother to pick her up.
Yang Yiqian walked over and grabbed Shuxin's arm. "Are you deaf?"
Shuxin coldly pulled her hand back and looked at Yang Yiqian indifferently. "Where's the dog barking?"
"I'm not a dog." Yang Yiqian was so angry that her face turned red.
"Did I say something about you? Do you like to take it personally? "
"You …" Yang Yiqian glared at Shuxin and reached out to grab the ball in Shuxin's hand. "Give me the ball. It's Ji Bai's."
Shuxin turned around and avoided her. "You said it yourself that it's Huo Jibai's. Why should I give it to you?"
