After a night of drunkenness, Xu Mu woke up with a headache. He looked around and realized that he was in a familiar room. He could no longer remember what happened last night, but he could still remember the key content.

For example, Su Yunxiu broke up with him last night for no reason, and Song Yun sent him back last night. At this point, he had no other impression of anything else.

The room was blocked by thick curtains, and for a moment, it was hard to tell what time it was. Xu Mu lowered his head and sniffed. The lingering smell of alcohol on his body was a little unpleasant.

For the time being, he didn’t care about anything else. He took a comfortable shower and changed his clothes. The moment he walked out, he saw Song Yun.

“Why are you here?”

She even came out of Su Yunxiu’s room.

Song Yun had already thought of what to say. Moreover, she believed that with Xu Mu’s personality, he definitely wouldn’t blame her for sleeping in Su Yunxiu’s room. Such a small matter wouldn’t make him angry.

“It was already very late when I sent you back last night. I was a little tired, so I borrowed Xiuxiu’s room to rest for the night.”

Xu Mu nodded and did not say anything.

“Brother Xu Mu, what do you want to eat for breakfast? Let’s order takeout.”

“Order takeout? I have ingredients here.”

What he meant was that they could make breakfast themselves. There was no need to waste time waiting for takeout.

Song Yun had never entered the kitchen since she was young. There were people serving her at home. Even when she was studying abroad, there were specialized aunties who came to help her cook.

Hence, when Xu Mu said that, she was subconsciously stunned. With a shocked expression, she asked him, “Do we do it ourselves?”

“Yes, we make it ourselves. It’s more convenient.”

“But… I don’t know how to do it. Brother Xu Mu, do you know how to do it?”

“Neither do I.”

The two of them looked at each other for a few seconds before taking out their phones to order takeout.

He had forgotten that Su Yunxiu wasn’t around. In the past, she was the one who prepared breakfast.

Xu Mu took out his phone and saw the message she had sent him yesterday.

Return at 9 o’clock? Xu Mu frowned.

It was already 8:50 a.m. She was not someone who did not have a sense of time. If she said she would arrive at 9 a.m., she would definitely come a little earlier.

Song Yun was still there. For some reason, Xu Mu did not want her to misunderstand.

Song Yun didn’t know what he was thinking. She had already ordered takeout and was sitting in the living room, looking around.

There were traces of Su Yunxiu’s life here. Song Yun was jealous that she could stay by Xu Mu’s side for four years. She would erase traces of Su Yunxiu bit by bit.

Su Yunxiu never dreamed that she would see such a harmonious scene when she rushed over. She was delayed by traffic, so she didn’t arrive on time.

She pushed the door open and entered. There was no one in the living room. She took a few steps forward and saw Song Yun sitting opposite Xu Mu in the semi-open kitchen. She did not know what she said, but Xu Mu had a smile on his face. This scene was really harmonious.

They were childhood sweethearts and were a match made in heaven.

When these words appeared in her mind, Su Yunxiu really felt that she was a third party for a moment. She quietly stared at the scene in front of her. Her heart was empty and accompanied by dense pain.

She should have understood a principle the moment Song Yun returned. How could someone who turned up later in life compare with the friendship they had since they were young? Unfortunately, she only understood it now.

The girl unknowingly tightened her grip and walked forward step by step.

Xu Mu’s ears were filled with Song Yun’s laughter as he listened to her tell him many interesting stories about studying abroad. He seemed to hear footsteps. He subconsciously looked over and saw Su Yunxiu a few meters away.

Her attire was as simple as ever. She had thick eyebrows and deep-set eyes. Her hair was tied into a bun, and her figure was slender as she stood rooted to the ground. Her expression was blank, and no one knew what she was thinking.

It had only been two nights since he last saw her. Now that he saw her again, he felt that she looked haggard from head to toe. Xu Mu felt that something was missing from her eyes.

“Ah! Xiuxiu, you’re back. Have you eaten? We ordered a lot. If you haven’t eaten, sit down and eat with us.” Song Yun put down her chopsticks and came to her side, warmly inviting her.

Just as Song Yun’s hand touched hers, Su Yunxiu shook it off mercilessly. Her voice was also tinged with coldness. “I’m sorry, we’re not familiar with each other.”
