Chapter 596: Spin-off: The World of the Young

The types of activities young people play are limited to just those few.

Under the watch of adults, the youths also didn’t dare to get too wild.

Today was Zhu Jinhuan’s birthday, and everyone was very conscious of not causing a commotion, all complying with Zhu Jinhuan’s lead.

Qi Muyu wasn’t too fond of these noisy singing affairs, but she had never shown it outwardly, so naturally, no one knew whether she liked them or not.

Fei Yan had followed her here.

The relaxed atmosphere somehow became a bit stiff.

Even the birthday person felt somewhat uncomfortable.

She wouldn’t have invited Fei Yan if it weren’t for the purpose of calling Qi Muyu over.

Fei Yan also joined in this childish activity of youths just because of Qi Muyu. Everyone was drinking and singing, and the scene seemed quite peaceful.

Several people around Qi Muyu had already moved to the other side, making conversation with newly acquainted friends.

Especially Chen Jifeng.

He was going to take over the family business in the future, so sitting here now, the first thing he needed to do was to build networking connections.

The young people sitting here were mostly future successors.

Even if they weren’t going to take over their family’s businesses, people of their status would still have family support to embark on other ventures.

So making friends at this age and building networking connections couldn’t be better.

As a girl, Qi Muyu quietly sat by Zhu Jinhuan’s side, and no one casually approached her to strike up a conversation.

Several young men looked at Qi Muyu many times but reined in their impulses when they saw Fei Yan.

Qi Muyu tilted her head slightly and could meet Fei Yan’s gaze sitting opposite her.

It was then that Qi Muyu noticed his eyes were clear and cold yet dazzlingly black, shimmering with the beautiful hue she liked!

Qi Muyu just foolishly locked eyes with Fei Yan.

“Hey,” Zhu Jinhuan nudged her, “Qi Muyu, you should sing a song too.”

“I won’t sing.”

“Today is my birthday, and the birthday person has the final say!” So if she told someone to sing, they had to sing.

Qi Muyu glanced at her sideways, “I can’t.”

“If you can’t, you can’t, but why the glare,” If it were someone else, Zhu Jinhuan wouldn’t have cared, but Qi Muyu was different.

Qi Muyu wasn’t like those who fawned over her.

The way she was treated was also not like other people.

Although those sitting here weren’t any millennial fox spirits, they were still very shrewd, and noticing Zhu Jinhuan’s different attitude towards Qi Muyu, they discreetly inquired about her, learning that she was from Shen City and that she came with the Chen siblings, guessing that her family background must be similar to that of the Chen siblings.

The Chen siblings were almost at the bottom of the social hierarchy in Deep City’s elite circles, so the young people here hadn’t taken them very seriously.

But with Zhu Jinhuan’s invitation, and seeing how Qi Muyu treated the haughty miss, they dared not underestimate Qi Muyu and the others.

Those who heard their conversation also chimed in with a smile, trying to please Zhu Jinhuan.

Qi Muyu observed all this but didn’t react.

Things would proceed as they would, with her family background, she could act entirely according to her own preferences.

It was after they had finished eating cake that they emerged, and by midnight, people were starting to leave.

Qi Muyu wasn’t accustomed to sleeping late; this was a habit instilled by her mother’s supervision.

As time passed, she began to feel unbearably sleepy.

Her head drooped little by little, and finally, unable to take it anymore, she bid goodbye to Zhu Jinhuan.

Naturally, Zhu Jinhuan didn’t want her to leave so soon and clung to her, insisting on playing all night.

Qi Muyu’s expression darkened, and everyone dared not breathe a word.

It was only Qi Muyu who could afford to make Zhu Jinhuan upset. Zhu Jinhuan could only grumble threateningly a few times before letting her go.

They parted without incident.

For a moment, everyone exchanged bewildered glances as they watched Qi Muyu and the others leave.

On the way back, Fei Yan’s car followed closely behind them.

Qi Muyu settled into the car and instantly closed her eyes.

They arrived smoothly back at Chen Jifeng’s friend’s house, and Chen Jifeng and the others even turned back to look; they indeed saw Fei Yan’s car parked not far away, watching them enter before leaving shortly after.

“He specifically escorted us back?” Qu Mo found it mysterious.

“You’re overthinking it,” Jiang An’an said, “I think he specifically escorted Mu Yu back. We were just along for the ride.”

“He couldn’t possibly like Mu Yu, could he?” Qu Mo asked.

“Isn’t it normal for him to like Mu Yu?” Chen Shunuo watched Qi Muyu stagger back to her room and whispered, “I think Mu Yu likes him too, otherwise why would she go with him?”

“I’ve seen them drawing close several times! Our school forbids early romance. Would Mu Yu’s family accept someone like Fei Yan dating her?” Qu Mo had heard quite a bit about Fei Yan’s escapades from Chen Shunuo.

And that was just the tip of the iceberg; who knew what the rest was like.

“He seems to have quite a bit of trouble around him. If Mu Yu really got together with him, she’d be at a disadvantage,” Jiang An’an frowned.

“Worrying about this now, we might as well think about how to persuade Mu Yu.”

“Is Mu Yu the kind of person who can be persuaded?”

“We still have to lay out the disadvantages for her to make her own choice.”

“Speaking of which, we don’t really understand her family situation. She just said her parents are in business.”

Chen Shunuo said, “What’s the point of understanding her family situation? It’s not like we’re going to be friends with her parents.”

Qu Mo laughed, “That’s true.”

*

Qi Muyu’s wounds had healed, and she joined Chen Jifeng’s friends in touring around Deep City.

She met more and more friends and lived quite a fulfilling life.

Every day, there were different venues for their activities.

During this time, Qi Muyu kept running into Fei Yan and Zhu Jinhuan.

The two seemed to have a grasp on her every move, as they always managed to “coincidentally” encounter her!

But she didn’t believe it.

Nor did she pay them any attention.

That day, a group of young people went to the beach to play together.

Qi Muyu did not change into swimwear but stood on the shore watching everyone frolic.

There were many people at the beach, mostly youths.

It was the summer holiday, and everyone took this opportunity to bring their children out for a vacation. Qi Muyu answered a call and walked towards a quiet shaded area.

It was a call from home.

“Still in Deep City?”

“Yeah, there are lots of places to go to in Deep City.”

“It sounds noisy where you are, are you at the beach?” Shen Yan heard some announcements about not going too deep into the water.

Qi Muyu looked ahead and saw a tall figure dressed casually walking towards her, and the youth had his gaze fixed on her.

“Yes, I’m at the beach,” Qi Muyu responded somewhat distractedly.

Qi Muyu stared at the youth under the blazing sun, somewhat spellbound.

Was his profile always that perfect?

And his figure—tall and exuding a sense of power!

She had little resistance to anything that projected strength.

Qi Muyu didn’t quite catch what Shen Yan was saying over the phone, and quickly hung up, raising her head slightly to meet the gaze of the approaching youth.

Fine droplets of sweat adorned his handsome face, and under the sunlight, they shimmered with a golden glow!

Qi Muyu found her stare captivated by this sight!
