“No, it’s not your fault. It’s fine to ask if you’re suspicious. If you don’t even have the right, how can you be considered a girlfriend?”

Could it be that he felt guilty? How could he not explain the marks on his collar? If he had been more magnanimous, Su Yunxiu might not have thought too much about it.

Ring!

An ear-piercing ringtone rang in her ear. Su Yunxiu thought it was Xu Mu’s call and quickly picked it up. It belonged to this city, but it was a string of unfamiliar numbers.

Suppressing the disappointment in her heart, Su Yunxiu wondered if she should pick up. She really had no impression of this string of numbers and did not know whose call it was.

“Answer it. Put it on speaker and see who’s calling.”

“Okay.” Su Yunxiu picked up the phone and pressed the speaker button.

“Miss Su.”

It was an unfamiliar female voice. The moment she spoke, it was obvious that she did not come with good intentions.

Su Yunxiu found the voice familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had heard it before.

“Hello, may I know who you are?”

“I’m Xu Mu’s mother.”

Su Yunxiu fell silent.

“Are you free tomorrow morning? I want to talk to you.”

“I have class tomorrow morning.”

“Then let’s do it in the afternoon. I have time. If it’s not convenient in the afternoon, let’s do it in the evening.”

She was determined to meet Su Yunxiu and have a chat. Since she couldn’t avoid it, Su Yunxiu could only say afternoon.

The other party didn’t say anything else after knowing. She only reminded her, “Remember, I only want to talk to Miss Su alone. I don’t want to see anyone other than you.”

With that, she hung up.

“What does his mother mean?”

“What else could it mean? It’s probably those things from the wealthy families.” Su Yunxiu was afraid that she would worry, so he half-jokingly said, “It’s fine, I can handle it.”

The last time they met was when she first got together with Xu Mu. At that time, she could tell from a few words that she had a strong personality. This time, she had already guessed what the other party would say.

Lin Qingwan was worried. “Are you really alright?”

“My endurance isn’t that weak.”

“Then I’ll send you there and wait for you outside. Call me immediately if anything happens.”

This time, she did not object.

At the same time, Xu Mu was not in a good mood. Working in the study was just an excuse. At this moment, he was in a bad mood as he called his friend to play games. After a few rounds, he was still not in a good mood. His friend seemed to have realized that his mood was a little off. When he was playing games, he was a little too aggressive. It was obvious that something had gone wrong, so he vented his anger on the game.

At the end of the third round, Xu Mu received a call from Chu Feng.

“I was wondering why you didn’t accompany your girlfriend tonight and dragged me to play games. What’s up?”

“Don’t mention it. Because of something, she’s packing up and going out.”

Chu Feng was a little surprised. “What did you do to make her so angry that she ran away from home? Aren’t you worried at all that she’s alone outside at night?”

Xu Mu suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and told him everything that had happened. He didn’t forget to defend himself. “I really didn’t do anything with Song Yun. She said something and took off her clothes to hug me. At that time, she was so flustered that she accidentally knocked down a vase. I didn’t notice her rubbing against me. Do you think Su Yunxiu needs to be so angry? Is she being unreasonable?”

Chu Feng was speechless after hearing this. These words were really exciting.

Song Yun grew up with them. Everyone knew what she was thinking, but they didn’t know if Xu Mu knew. At the same time, he didn’t expect Song Yun to be so bold.

“Actually… it’s normal for her to be angry. Coax her with a good attitude. Su Yunxiu isn’t an unreasonable person. The young lady is alone outside, so you should at least show some concern. She might come back tomorrow. Don’t forget that it’s your birthday tomorrow. Don’t let your bad mood affect you.”

Chu Feng didn’t understand why this big brother couldn’t handle such a simple matter.

He was a little curious. Did his relationship with Su Yunxiu really not deepen in the past four years? Although there was a reason why he was with her back then, now that he thought about it, it had actually been four years. It was really fast!

“What’s there to coax? Women are just melodramatic. She’ll come back.” The man said this with a hint of confidence.

In his opinion, this was just a small quarrel. When he explained to Su Yunxiu, he omitted the part where Song Yun threw herself at him. It was just a small lie, but it was not enough to make her angry for a long time.

Furthermore, it was his birthday tomorrow, so Su Yunxiu would definitely appear.

Chu Feng sighed helplessly. There was no point in saying anything more. One of the three people would definitely be hurt in their relationship. It was more comfortable to be single. There was no need to think about these things.

“I’ll sleep after playing a few more games.”

“Sure.”

Chu Feng was still playing along. It couldn’t be helped. His good brother was in a bad mood.

In the next few rounds, Song Yun realized that they were playing games and made a fuss about wanting to play together. The friendship they had since they were young was in front of them. In addition, the Xu family and the Song family were working together. Even if there was a small interlude, it would not affect anything.

At first, Xu Mu was a little uncomfortable, but he could not withstand the other party’s coaxing and pestering. In the end, the two of them started a game, and it became a three-player game.

—

Compared to Xu Mu venting through the game, Su Yunxiu’s side was calm. She lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Scenes of when they first got together in university appeared in her mind again. It was clearly not like that at that time.

The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became. Su Yunxiu covered her head with the blanket and buried her entire body in it. She resisted the urge to send a message to Xu Mu. This time, she had to leave him hanging.

Su Yunxiu was not a night owl, to begin with, and was usually sleepy at dawn. It was already her limit to last until midnight. She hugged the blanket and turned over. As Su Yunxiu slept by the bed, her fair long legs were hanging by the bed. She was too lazy to care. Even if she stretched out her hand, it would not be cold.

Just as she was about to fall asleep in a daze, she suddenly felt something crawling beside her feet. The touch became more and more real. Her entire body stiffened for a few seconds, and her heart seemed to skip a beat.

She slowly raised her head and saw what was on the floor under the moonlight. She was so frightened that she couldn’t care less about falling asleep. She got up with a scream and turned on the light.
