Qin Mu lowered her head, with one hand gently resting on his firm arm, she even felt like she was touching his muscles, her heart inevitably raced, but she didn’t ask anything.

He didn’t need to say anything to hold back, she could feel his certain swelling there.

"Can we not do this?"

Mu Yichen softly asked her.

Qin Mu suddenly felt uncomfortable from his teasing, couldn’t help but think of him in the hotel elevator...

Did he cry?

No!

The high and mighty Mu always, how could he shed tears?

That must be her illusion, perhaps it was just his breath.

Qin Mu’s eyelashes were somewhat hazy, Mu Yichen didn’t need to look at her from the glass screen, with his eyes lowered he could see half of her face, the face he missed day and night.

Qin Mu suddenly felt incredibly wronged, her chin began to tremble, tears slowly and continuously streamed down her cheeks, dampening her chin, wetting his arm holding her.

If she could help it, why would she want to torment him like this?

They tried to live like normal couples, yet drifted further apart.

"If I say my period came, would you believe me?"

Tonight, her period arrived three days early.

Mu Yichen watched her turn into his arms, looking pitiable, thinking she agreed, but then...

It really was a fatal blow.

Mu Yichen laughed helplessly: I believe!

Qin Mu didn’t lift her eyes to look at him, smiling and crying, she returned to bed.

——

The next morning, Qin Mu hadn’t woken up yet, Mu Yichen received Yang Qin’s call: "Has Qiao Yi seen the contract?"

"Yes, it was Qiao Yi who asked me to call you and see if you want to renew with them."

Yang Qin had arrived at work, a bit worried waiting for Mu Yichen’s answer.

"Sign it, leave it entirely to Qiao Yi to handle, you don’t need to bother with it anymore."

"Okay! But I’m at work today!"

Before ending the call, Yang Qin suddenly remembered something important.

Mu Yichen frowned, originally wanted to ask more, but thought for a moment and just responded "Mm" before hanging up the phone.

Qin Mu opened her eyes and turned her head to see Mu Yichen standing by the bed, frowning, and slowly sat up: "Who was on the phone?"

"Yang Qin! Company matters!"

He explained, then looked at Qin Mu: "You should know her by now, I’ve mentioned her to you, and I believe Helian Hao and the others must have mentioned her often too?"

Qin Mu...

Indeed that’s true, but why explain so clearly, she hadn’t misunderstood.

"What time are we going to attend Huanhuan’s school opening ceremony?"

Qin Mu asked him while getting out of bed.

"If you’re not feeling well, don’t go!"

Mu Yichen thought she had enough to deal with today and didn’t want her to go to school.

"How can that be? Didn’t you say the graduation ceremony is very important? I’m feeling much better today!"

Qin Mu said with her head down while looking for clothes.

Once she opened the wardrobe, it was quite barren, all outdated clothes.

Qin Mu looked at Mu Yichen, Mu Yichen gave a slightly awkward but polite smile: "Just pick any! The hotel should have replacement clothes."

He said as he walked over and picked out one for her, his choice was certain to be blue.

Qin Mu knew he would choose that one, so she didn’t stop him, but she was still curious and asked: "Are you going to the hotel?"

"Mm! We need to have breakfast, don’t we? There’s nothing here, let’s just go eat at the hotel!"

Mu Yichen seemed calm and poised, as if it was a natural thing, but Qin Mu thought, since her return, the two of them were basically inseparable.

Qin Mu thought about his reasons, and silently pretended she didn’t know the things she already knew.

"It looks alright!"

After putting on clothes and just about to pull up the zipper, Mu Yichen suddenly came behind her, his ice cold fingers touched her skin, helped her pull up the zipper and said.

The meaning was, it didn’t seem outdated.

Qin Mu’s heart trembled, she always felt this way every time he touched her.

Qin Mu turned her head: "Shall we go?"

"Not freshening up?"

Mu Yichen asked her.

"As you said, there are no foods here, are the toiletries likely expired too? Let’s go to the hotel!"

Neither of them chose to go home, but decided to go to the hotel.

Actually, Qin Mu’s mind was a mess, perhaps because of her period causing low blood sugar, in the car she felt sleepy, but couldn’t help confirming with him again: "Is it okay not to go to Huanhuan’s school opening ceremony?"
