Chapter 528
She Is From The Countryside
?
528 i just want to be friends
Mu Xingxing was not alone. She had met her companion, Shi Yan, a few days ago.
It was the girl who was shopping with mu Xingxing.
Mu Xing didnât seem to see them. He was wearing a straw hat and a beach dress, standing in the crowd and taking photos of each other.
It was Shi Yan who saw them first.
there was no way they couldnât see them. the two of them werenât far from them, and shi yan had good eyesight.
seeing that she had stopped drinking after taking a sip of the drink and seemed to be looking at something, jiang che couldnât help but ask, â âWhatâs wrong?â
He looked over.
there were too many people on the beach, and the sun was a little glaring. jiang che didnât see jupiter at first glance.
the main thing was that mu xingâs back was facing them at this time. jiang che had not reached the point where he could recognize a strange woman he had only met twice just by looking at her back.
âDid you see someone familiar?â jing hailan asked.
âiâm not an acquaintance,â shi yan retracted her gaze.
mu xingxing, who was taking photos of her companion, turned around at this moment. jing hailan saw her, adjusted the sunglasses on her face, and took a sip of the drink in her hand. â i was wondering who it was. itâs the new sister-in-law that my mother has chosen for me! â
âwhat kind of fate is this? Weâve come all the way here for a vacation, yet weâre still able to meet each other.â
âI donât think there are so many coincidences in the world.â Su mu said.
âjing xuan has a girlfriend, and this miss mu is the fiancée chosen by madam jing for jing xuan. but neither madam jing nor miss mu can interfere with jing xuanâs choice. Could this miss mu be here for you?â
He was looking at Jing Hailan when he said that.
Su mu didnât think that mu Xing and Shi Yan would have any connection.
âWhat are you doing? do you think i can help her become the lady of family jing? Mu Xing doesnât look like such a na?ve person.â
If mu Xingxingâs appearance here was not a coincidence, then it was more likely that mu Xingxing had come for Shi Yan than her.
There was no reason. This was her intuition.
su mu also felt that mu xing wasnât such a na?ve person.
âThen itâs really a coincidence.â
whether it was a coincidence or not, su mu didnât have much time to think about it, because his companions on jupiter had seen them.
he was stunned for a moment, and then he patted mu xingxingâs shoulder excitedly,âxingxing, look over there! isnât that the person we met at the supermarket a few days ago? the couple that you know, itâs them, right?â
âitâs them,â mu xing seemed to be surprised to see them here.
âI canât believe I met him like this. Itâs really unreasonable not to say hello. Letâs go over and say hello.â Mu Xingxing pulled the girl and walked toward Shi Yan and the others.
âShi Yan!â He shouted from afar.
as she approached, shi yan took off her sunglasses with one hand and a drink in the other. she smiled.âThe stars.â
âitâs really you guys. what a coincidence to meet you here.â
âItâs a coincidence.â shi yan asked, â do you guys want to sit? â
mu xingxing pulled the girl over and sat down.
âYaoyao wanted to come to southern city to play, and I had nothing to do, so I accompanied her. If I knew you were coming, I wouldâve called you along so you could keep each other company.â
Oh, right. I forgot to introduce you. This is my friend, Shi Yao.
Shi Yao was slightly taken aback by the sudden nomination, but she quickly reacted and greeted, â âH-Hello.â
âhello,â shi yan smiled and nodded at her.
shi yao was suddenly dazzled by shi yanâs smile.
When she met them at the supermarket, she already felt that this couple was very good-looking. She didnât expect that when she looked at them up close, they would be so stunning.
On this girl named Shi Yan, her appearance was not the most prominent. What was most prominent was her calm and indifferent temperament.
H-Hello, um, Xingxing and I didnât disturb you, did we? â
âno, i didnât,â Shi Yan asked them, â do you guys want anything to drink? â
âWhat do you want to drink? Iâll go buy it,â su mu said.
âno, thank you.â
after mu xingxing said his piece, shi yao hurriedly replied, â no need. â
She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
These people were clearly very kind, but she felt an inexplicable pressure sitting with her.
She tugged at mu Xingxingâs skirt.
âWhatâs the matter?â mu Xingxing looked at her.
she couldnât possibly say that she felt too much pressure sitting with these people and wanted to ask mu xingxing to leave. it was rude to have such a thought. mu xingxing asked so directly, and her face instantly turned red.
â n-nothing. iâm just sweating a little, so i wanted to ask if you have any tissues. â
âno, iâve just finished it.â
it was just a random excuse, but shi yao was at a complete loss.
suddenly, a packet of tissues was handed to her.
âI have it here.â
it was shi yan.
âT-thank you.â
âyouâre welcome,â
shi yan wasnât someone who liked to take the initiative to start a topic. after saying these three words, she didnât say anything else and continued to drink the drink in her hand.
she didnât speak, so the others naturally didnât speak either.
the silence in the room caused shi yao to feel even more pressured.
she thought that mu was the same as her, so she turned her head to look, but found that muâs expression was normal, not affected at all.
Was she really too useless?
However, after knowing Xingxing for so long, she didnât feel that Xingxing was a very bold person. At most, he was just a little smarter than her.
however, her family background was very ordinary and could not be compared with mu xingxing. it was definitely not comparable to the people in front of her.
could it be that the gap between their family backgrounds was really that great?
just when shi yao felt that she couldnât hold on any longer, mu xingxing spoke up once more, â âShi Yan, when did you come to South City? Where did you all go?â
he spoke naturally, as if he was having a casual chat.
âIncluding today, weâve been here for three days.â shi yan briefly listed the places she had been to these two days.
âThen we came a little later than you. We only arrived yesterday. the plane is late and it will be dark by the time we reach the hotel. this is our first destination.â
âwhere are you guys staying?â
âShengshi hotel.â shi yan replied.
He looked at mu Xing with a smile and saw that she was surprised at first, then surprised. âreally? weâre also staying in glory world!â
â speaking of which, this wasnât the hotel we booked at the start. when we arrived at the hotel, we realized that the hotel had left out our registration. it was the hotel manager who came forward and used his connections to help us book a room at glory world. â
shi yao nodded her head in agreement, proving that mu xingxingâs words were true.
âthen weâre really fated.â Shi Yan said.
âWe are indeed fated.â Mu Xingxing was very happy. what are your plans next? Go back to the hotel or take a walk?â
âletâs go back to the hotel after a while. i donât have any other plans today.â
âShall we go with you? he said he wanted to be friends with you, but he couldnât find a chance to spend time with you. Since weâve bumped into each other, I want to treat you to a meal.â
âi donât know if i have the honor.â
shi yao wanted to stop him, but it was already too late. mu xingxing had already spoken.
forget it, letâs just leave it at that. these handsome men and beautiful women wonât eat people anyway.
âYouâre being too serious. It was fate that they met, so letâs go together. As for treating us to dinner, thereâs still some time before dinner time. Thereâs no hurry, weâll talk about it when the time comes.â
âIâm really afraid that youâll reject me. Iâm not afraid that youâll laugh at me for saying this. You didnât reject me, so Iâm relieved. shi yan, i really want to be friends with you.â
âitâs my honor,â shi yan smiled.
just like that, the four people who came became six people on the return trip.
fortunately, the hotel had arranged a seven-seater car for them. otherwise, they would not have been able to fit in.
When they returned to the hotel, mu Xingxing once again offered to treat them to a meal. Shi Yan had no intention of refusing. su mu and jing hailan wanted to call shi yan over alone to ask her what she was thinking and if she really wanted mu xingxing to treat them to a meal.
After some thought, they gave up on the idea.
On the other hand, Jiang che acted as if Shi Yan could do whatever she wanted and he would listen to all her arrangements.
Just like that, the group arrived at a restaurant near the hotel.
it was muâs treat.
The meal went very smoothly without any changes. Jupiter was sincere and not too enthusiastic throughout the whole process. It was just a normal behavior of making friends.
After leaving the restaurant, mu Xingxing walked to the front desk to settle the bill with Shi Yao following behind.
jing hailan took the opportunity to approach shi yan and asked in a low voice, â âYan, whatâs with this mu planet? i really just want to be friends with you?â
she really couldnât figure it out.
âmaybe.â Shi Yan gave her a comforting smile. sister hai LAN, donât worry. Even if she really has other intentions, weâre not afraid.
âwith fifth lord jiang around, iâm very confident,â she said, holding jiang cheâs arm.
jiang che, who had been silent all this while and was like a backdrop, heard her words. he smiled and raised his hand to rub her head, his eyes full of love and indulgence for her.
jing hailan looked at them and suddenly felt relieved.
âThatâs true.â
She was also confused. With Yanâs sister and the fifth Lordâs abilities, the person who could make them suffer had not appeared yet.
besides, she and su mu were vegetarians.
mu xingxing settled the bill and the few of them were about to leave the restaurant when someone suddenly came in from outside. he walked in a little hurriedly and directly bumped into mu xingxing.
mu xingxing almost fell. shi yan reached out and pulled her.
âare you alright?â
âIâm fine. I just got hit. thank you, shi yan. if you hadnât pulled me back in time, i would have really fallen.â
the person who bumped into her was a boy. he staggered a little but did not fall.
â iâm sorry, â she apologized after she steadied herself. â i bumped into you. are you hurt? â
no, Yingluo. mu Xing was about to say no when he saw the other personâs appearance. you, youâre Yingluo. Iâm sorry, I think you look a little familiar. Have we met before? â
âitâs you! mu qianqian was on the mu planet, right? My sisterâs friend. I went overseas to visit my sister before and we met once. My name is Xie Xingchen, do you remember?â
âi remember youâre xingranâs second brother!â
â what a coincidence to meet mr. xie here. â
âYes, what a coincidence. Miss mu, are you here to eat?â At this moment, she saw Shi Yan and the others. She seemed to be a little stunned by their appearance and temperament and was slightly dazed.
However, he quickly recovered and asked mu Xingxing with a smile, â âMiss mu, are these your friends?â
âi guess so. Mr. Xie, you must have something urgent to attend to since you left in such a hurry. We wonât hold you up any longer.â
Xie Xingchen smacked his forehead. look at my memory. I almost forgot that I still have things to do. Iâll go and get busy first. If thereâs a chance, Iâll ask miss mu out for a meal alone.
he nodded politely to shi yan and the others and then walked into the restaurant.
walking out of the restaurant, mu xingxing explained to shi yan, â âthat man just now is xingranâs second brother. i met him once at a school abroad. i didnât expect him to still remember me.â
âthe second young master of the xie family?â Shi Yan asked casually.
in fact, she didnât care what kind of person xie xingchen was.
âI donât know the details, but since xingran is the eldest daughter of the Xie family, her second brother should be the second young master of the Xie family. forget it, yaoyao and i are going to the nearby night market. do you guys want to come?â
âno, iâm a little tired. i want to go back to the hotel to rest.â
â alright, weâll take our leave then. be careful when you go back. â
âAlright, you guys too.â
