Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Lu Zhi kept talking.

Lu Lin had already lost the will to listen.

He felt a tightness in his chest and unconsciously glanced in the direction Mu Zhou had just left, his eyes darkening.

Meanwhile, Mu Zhou returned to school after leaving the hospital.

She gave a statement to the relevant personnel and then returned to her dormitory.

Not long after I lay down, Shang Henian sent me a message.

[Are you in the dorm? Come down.]

Mu Zhou ignored him.

Shang Henian immediately launched a barrage of calls.

She got annoyed by the sound and simply muted it.

A short while later, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

"Mu Zhou, are you there?"

It sounds like a female classmate's voice.

Mu Zhou had no choice but to get up.

Outside the door stood a girl from another dormitory in the same major. She said shyly:

"Shang Henian is downstairs. He said he couldn't get through to you and was worried something might have happened to you. Why don't you call him back?"

"But... Mu Zhou, do you know Shang Henian?"

At school, apart from a few close friends of Shang Henian, most people were unaware of the relationship between Mu Zhou and Shang Henian.

Shang Henian had repeatedly warned Mu Zhou not to reveal their relationship to outsiders, and especially not to mention the term "child bride".

Therefore, Mu Zhou always followed him silently at school, not daring to reveal even the slightest hint that they knew each other.

Shang Henian was a prominent figure at the school.

Handsome and ruggedly good-looking guys are a rare commodity. Coupled with his good family background, he drove a Bugatti to school on the first day of school, which was high-profile and flamboyant, instantly igniting the school's confession wall.

Mu Zhou has always been seen as well-behaved and honest, and he doesn't talk much, so it's hard for most people to connect the two.

When the female student returned to her dormitory and saw Shang Henian downstairs, she secretly took some photos to gossip with her friends, but Shang Henian just walked up to her.

The concern shown towards Mu Zhou in his words made her instantly realize that something was wrong.

She didn't dare ask Shang Henian, so she came to Mu Zhou to deliver a message and inquire about the matter.

After learning of her purpose, Mu Zhou knew that Shang Henian would probably not give up until he met her.

She didn't explain much, thanked her female classmate, put on her coat, and went downstairs.

Downstairs in the dormitory building, Shang Henian leaned against the car.

Girls passing by were all looking at him, and some even boldly went up to him to ask for his contact information.

He patiently and coldly refused.

Upon seeing that thin, small figure emerge from the dormitory, he immediately stood up straight and walked towards Mu Zhou.

"I heard that Lu Zhi, that peacock, was splashed with sulfuric acid. You were there too, were you implicated? Were you hurt anywhere?"

The tension on his face was obvious.

Mu Zhou stared at him in silence.

Shang Henian became anxious:

"Speak up, what are you looking at me for?"

Mu Zhou pursed his lips:

Why is Brother Henian so concerned about me?

Shang Henian's expression froze, and when he spoke again, he stammered:

"What, what concern? I'm just... I'm just afraid Grandpa will blame me for not taking good care of you."

As if he had found the perfect excuse, he concealed his guilty conscience and continued to press:

"Are you hurt? Why aren't you answering your phone?"

Mu Zhou's disappointment was obvious, and she shook her head:

"I'm fine, Brother Henian, don't worry. I'm a little tired, I'll go back first."

Seeing that she looked listless, Shang Henian didn't linger.

Moreover, he wasn't stupid; he could tell what Mu Zhou wanted to hear.

She hoped he cared about her.

But he...

Shang Henian's face stiffened, and he instantly dismissed any further thoughts.

He doesn't care about her at all!

On Sunday, Mu Zhou went to Jiang Xing's workplace.

She had already made it clear to Jiang Xing that she met with him because she didn't want to put her grandfather in a difficult position.

Jiang Xing also understood that she had no other feelings for him.

However, Jiang Xing also had his own ulterior motives.

Mu Zhou has liked Shang Henian for so many years, how could he possibly have no feelings for him?

So he decided to start by being a good older brother and a good senior, slowly letting Mu Zhou get rid of her resistance to him, like a frog being slowly boiled in water, gradually invading her life.

So he continued to meet with Mu Zhou as his senior, and the topics of conversation were purely about work, without any romantic involvement.

As it happened, they were in the same major. Mu Zhou was a little confused about his future career plans, which made him lower his guard and feel much more relaxed when he was with him.

Jiang Xing had originally planned to have afternoon tea with Mu Zhou today, and also give her some professional materials.

Who knew he would suddenly have a work assignment that would take more than an hour.

Mu Zhou wasn't angry after receiving Jiang Xing's apology call.

"It's alright, work is important. But Grandpa knew I was coming to see you, so he specifically asked me to bring you some pine nuts. I happen to be nearby, would it be convenient for you to come to the door and pick them up?"

Grandpa Shang has an old subordinate who went back to his hometown to grow pine nuts, and he sends a lot of them over every year.

Grandpa Shang remembered that Jiang Xing loved to eat these things since he was a child, so he asked Mu Zhou to bring them over.

Jiang Xing was naturally overjoyed to hear this.

His original intention was to ask Mu Zhou to wait for him, but he ended up waiting for more than an hour and couldn't bring himself to say it.

Now that Mu Zhou is willing to come, he naturally has a way to keep him here.

A short while later, Mu Zhou arrived at Jiang Xing's workplace.

He was already waiting at the door.

"I'm so sorry, it was just the weekend and I came to the office to help out, but I ended up not being able to leave."

After Jiang Xing accepted the pine nuts, he repeatedly apologized to Mu Zhou.

He then extended an invitation:

"It's the weekend, and our workplace is open to the public. Would you like to come and visit?"

Seeing Mu Zhou's hesitant expression, he continued:

"You might come here after you graduate, so you can get familiar with it first."

This statement successfully persuaded Mu Zhou.

She followed Jiang into the workplace.

Lu Lin returned from a business trip and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye as he passed through the lobby.

The girl stood by the newspaper rack, picked out a newspaper, and read it carefully.

Today she was wearing a light blue knee-length sweater and fluffy boots. Her long hair was simply braided and hung down to one side of her shoulder, with a light-colored flower pinned to the end.

She has a lovely and serene temperament, and her delicate appearance is full of vitality.

She turned to a page, seemed quite interested in the content, then lowered her head, sat back down, and continued reading.

Lu Lin did not stop walking, but his gaze lingered on her for a few more seconds.

Back in his office, he figured out why Mu Zhou was there in less than ten minutes.

Thinking of the misunderstanding at the hospital last time, he pursed his lips.

That time, he spoke too harshly.

The little girl looked like she was crying as she left.

After a few seconds of silence, he called his secretary.

Mu Zhou was engrossed in reading the government newspaper when he suddenly received a call from Jiang Xing.

"I'm so sorry, Mu Zhou, I'm really sorry. My work unit needs me to go to a village, so I probably can't make it today. I've made you wait so long for nothing."

Jiang Xing felt genuinely ashamed.

He was about to leave when his boss suddenly assigned him more work.

He used the excuse that his girlfriend was waiting for him to ask Tie to make an exception and send someone else instead.

He was supposed to have a day off today.

Who knew the leader would take it so seriously?

"Have you forgotten your oath when you joined the company? Is the people more important than your personal affairs?"

With such a heavy burden placed upon him, how could he dare to say anything else?
