Ji Mu drove to the school to pick me up.

The summer heat recedes and the coolness of autumn gradually arrives.

Fallen leaves float down from overhead, dancing in the wind.

Ji Mu's car was parked on the side of the road, and I quickly got in.

Ji Mu glanced at me sideways and said, "Why don't you change into something nicer?"

I looked down at my clothes: a white shirt and a pair of slingback pants, still looking like a student with a childish air.

"Sorry, I don't have time to go home and change clothes today." I know that in formal occasions, one needs to dress appropriately, as it is a sign of respect for the host.

Ji Mu immediately smiled and said, "There's no time for you to go home and change. We'll find a store and buy one later."

I nodded: "Okay."

Ji Mu parked the car along the street. There was a high-end women's clothing store not far away. I asked Ji Mu to wait for me in the car and I went to buy the things myself.

Ji Mu got out of the car and followed directly.

I entered the store and quickly picked out a long dress that suited my temperament. It was lake blue. I have fair skin, and this dress made me look particularly bright.

Ji Mu paid for me without waiting for me to come out of the fitting room. I smiled at him and Ji Mu raised his eyebrows, being very gentlemanly.

As the car drove along, we saw Shanghai, a city full of hidden talents, developing at the forefront. Although it had not yet reached its most prosperous moment, the ground was already covered in gold and there were endless business opportunities.

Ji Mu took me to a restaurant hidden under a high-rise building. It was a place with ancient style and charm, flowing water, misty waves, and warm lights.

"Very nervous?" Ji Mu looked at my face. Maybe because I was always tense, he saw through me.

I smiled at him and said, "A little bit."

Ji Mu comforted me: "Don't worry, just treat it as a simple meal."

"Then in what capacity do you want to introduce me?" We all overlooked an important issue, which is my identity.

Ji Mu suddenly stopped and fell into deep thought.

I looked at him and couldn't help but laugh: "Or, I won't join your dinner party. I'll just ask for a table and order some food."

Ji Mu frowned: "I'll just say you're my friend, okay?"

"What kind of friends can you bring into public places?" I asked him seriously.

Ji Mu suddenly asked me, "Aren't you a student at an art school now? Do you want to study abroad? There's a teacher coming over tonight. If he writes a letter of recommendation, you could get into a very good school abroad."

I was slightly stunned. Going abroad?

I have never thought about this path. Maybe I am just inherently inferior. I feel that if I can complete my domestic performances, my life will come to a perfect end.

But if I were to live my life again, and only confine myself to this world without going far away to see the scenery, it would seem a bit regrettable.

"Really? Is there any hope of asking him to recommend me?" There was a glimmer in my eyes. If there really was such an opportunity, I would definitely try it.

Ji Mu chuckled softly: "I can help you try, there is still great hope."

I looked at him with gratitude. I was so lucky that Ji Mu was willing to help me even though we were not related.

"Okay, don't worry about your identity. Just being friends is good enough." Ji Mu came over and patted my arm to show encouragement.

I smiled at him, my eyes filled with hope for the future.

"Jingjing..." Suddenly, a deep male voice came from behind me, interrupting the atmosphere between Ji Mu and me at this moment.

Ji Mu glanced at me quickly, then looked at Su Beicheng.

I turned around and saw that Su Beicheng came in alone. He used to be surrounded by people, but today's dinner was just a private communication for him.

He looked at me with a questioning and interrogating look in his eyes, and asked in a cold tone, "Is this your new boyfriend?"

I looked at Ji Mu, who just smiled without saying anything. Then he said to me, "I'll go into the box first, you talk to him."

"Oh..." I didn't expect Ji Mu to leave me at this time. I was a little panicked and wanted to chase him.

Su Beicheng has walked in front of me and looked down at me: "It seems that the lesson of being beaten is not painful enough. The speed at which you found a man also surprised me."

Looking at Su Beicheng's cold expression and his questioning voice, I could only explain in a low voice: "Doctor Ji and I are just friends. It's not as complicated as you think."

"What about Chu Rui?" Su Beicheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "If you don't have any shameful relationship with him, would his sister treat you like that?"

I trembled all over. So, Su Beicheng still doesn't believe that Chu Rui and I have an innocent relationship?

"Mayor Su, are you here to have dinner or to interrogate me? No matter what, you helped me, and I should thank you." I sighed softly. Even if I explained, he might not believe me, and I didn't need to say anything more, but I still had to say words of gratitude.

"How do you plan to thank me?" Su Beicheng suddenly asked me.

I was stunned. I didn't expect him to follow up on this topic and ask further questions.

"A thank you is not sincere enough." Su Beicheng was as strong and overbearing as before, with a look in his eyes that frightened me.

I seemed to have returned to the mentality I had when I was with him before, cautious but not daring to be presumptuous.

"I'll treat you to dinner some other day..."

"Every day someone wants to treat me to a meal, but I may not be free." Su Beicheng said as he walked forward because a group of people were coming up behind him.

I watched him leave and had to quickly follow him.

Su Beicheng's figure flashed and he suddenly walked to an empty corner. When I followed him, he turned around suddenly. I didn't pay attention and bumped into him.

It had been more than two months since we last met, and the sudden touch surprised both of us.

"Sorry." I took a step back, but Su Beicheng suddenly reached out and pressed my shoulders, forcing me to get closer to him.

My heart was in a mess. Su Beicheng had a familiar aura on him, which made me involuntarily recall every little thing we had done together in the past.

"Why don't you even dare to look into my eyes? Are you so guilty?" Su Beicheng asked me unhappily.

I immediately raised my head, and my clear eyes reflected the man's slightly angry face.

Su Beicheng didn't know if it was because he was too busy with work recently, but he had lost some weight, but he looked more handsome, especially his protruding Adam's apple, which was a symbol of masculinity.

I saw his Adam's apple roll and his eyes dimmed as he looked at me.

"Mayor Su, someone will come, don't do this." I reminded him softly.

"What did you call me?" Su Beicheng's voice was even colder: "Mayor Su? You used to call me by my name."

I was embarrassed. We used to have a close relationship and it was normal for us to call each other by our names, but now, what is our relationship?

"Don't be like this, we have broken up." I reminded him in a low voice, and hoped that he could be more rational. After all, that's his status.

Su Beicheng's eyes were filled with anger, and he lowered his voice and said, "I've tolerated you for two months. You won't really kick me out of your heart, right?"
