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

Just as Jiang Xing was about to wash his face and tidy himself up to see Mu Zhou, he was suddenly stopped by his boss.

After explaining his purpose, Jiang Xing's eyes widened:

"Go to Gezhen this afternoon? Director, can't we go tomorrow?"

Anyway, they're going to stay here for a few days.

Ge Town is quite far from here. If we were to go, we would have to leave now, which would mean we wouldn't be able to have lunch with Mu Zhou.

The director looked at him earnestly and said:

"Jiang Xing, don't always try to bargain when doing work. The organization is giving you special attention because it wants to cultivate you, which is why it's demanding of you."

Jiang Xing wanted to say something, but then he shut his mouth.

He was recently on the list of those promoted, so it seems he is indeed one of those being groomed for leadership positions.

Going to Ge Town wouldn't be a problem; if he didn't know Mu Zhou was here, he would be happy to go.

The work there is easier and the roads are easier to travel. They need to stay overnight, and the accommodation in Gezhen is much better than here.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally agreed.

Jiang Xing was somewhat frustrated.

It's such a pity that he and Mu Zhou are always just a little short of each other.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Mu Zhou to apologize.

At noon, Mu Zhou and his classmates helped cook.

The kitchen was noisy, so I didn't hear the sudden commotion outside.

A little while later, an employee came in to serve the dishes and gossiped with another person:

"Did you see that just now? When the young bureau chief arrived, the dean was startled and almost twisted his ankle while rushing down the stairs. I've never seen him like that before."

Another person said:

"You have no idea how high this bureau chief's rank is, especially since he's so young. And when he came, he brought social donations to improve the living conditions in our nursing home."

As they talked, the two of them started cooking together with Mu Zhou and the others.

A dozen minutes later, Mu Zhou came out carrying a tray of steamed buns and flower rolls.

I had just put it down when I turned around and saw a man in a white shirt and black pants bending over to listen to an old lady.

The man's profile features smooth, sharp lines, from his brow bone to the tip of his nose and then to the cupid's bow; every detail is like God's most perfect work.

He lowered his eyes and listened attentively to the old man's ramblings.

Seemingly noticing her gaze, Lu Lin turned his head slightly and looked at her.

Just then, a beam of light shone through the window and fell on his face, enveloping him in a halo of light.

It has a hint of unreality to it.

Mu Zhou didn't know why, but his heart skipped a beat.

She subconsciously looked away, lowered her head, and quickly returned to the kitchen.

As Lu Lin watched her fleeing figure, a slow smile crept onto his lips.

*

Lunch was light, but everyone ate to their heart's content.

Mu Zhou secretly glanced at Lu Lin.

He ate slowly and deliberately, occasionally echoing the old man next to him as he spoke. In the end, not a single grain of food was left on his plate.

They seem to have an extremely easy-going personality.

Mu Zhou thought to himself, no wonder he rose through the ranks; he was really good at putting on a show.

In the afternoon, most of the elderly people would start their afternoon nap, and after Mu Zhou and the others finished up, they also prepared to leave.

Mu Zhou returned from washing her hands in the backyard and bumped into Lu Lin.

She paused in her tracks:

"Little uncle."

"You're not pretending not to know me anymore?"

His voice remained calm, making it impossible to tell whether he was joking or questioning.

Mu Zhou muttered something under his breath:

"How could I possibly call you 'Uncle' in public like this?"

Lu Lin chuckled silently, leaving behind the words:

"Don't take the bus back, I'll take you there later."

"No, no, we have requirements. We have to come together and leave together. We need to sign something when we get back to school."

A well-behaved student like Mu Zhou would never do something like having a classmate sign on his behalf.

Lu Lin was stunned, never expecting her to refuse for such a reason.

But... this reason seems impeccable.

After all, she's a student, so she definitely has to listen to the school.

Before he could say anything more, a male student from the other side of the corridor was already calling out to her:

"Mu Zhou, the bus is almost here, let's go."

The bus runs every half hour; if you miss this one, you'll have to wait again.

Mu Zhou hurriedly said goodbye:

"Uncle, I'm leaving now."

Mu Zhou heard from Grandpa Shang that Lu Lin would also be at her birthday party tomorrow.

So she waved, said "See you tomorrow," and jogged away.

Lu Lin raised an eyebrow helplessly as he thought of the blind boxes that had been sitting in his car and hadn't been given away yet.

On her birthday, Mu Zhou dressed in a way that wasn't overly flamboyant.

She wore a long white princess dress with an off-the-shoulder design, which perfectly showed off her slender neck and fair, rounded shoulders.

The shoulders and chest are also decorated with layers of tulle and bows.

Her playful and gentle demeanor is tinged with a touch of sexiness.

The floor-length skirt swayed gracefully, its body subtly shimmering with tiny sparkles of light.

She took Grandpa Shang's hand and came down the stairs, where she was formally introduced to the guests present.

Due to limited space, the guests invited today are all close friends and relatives of the business owner. As Grandpa Shang has gotten older, he rarely participates in such lively occasions anymore.

But today, in order to pave the way for Mu Zhou's future, he forced himself to be energetic and socialize.

Grandpa Shang's thoughtfulness towards her brought tears to Mu Zhou's eyes. She lowered her gaze and composed herself.

Grandpa Shang seemed to sense her emotions and gently patted the back of her hand that was wrapped around his arm.

It was like a comforting gesture.

After Mu Zhou and Grandpa Shang introduced everyone present, Grandpa Shang finally felt relieved and went to rest.

“I’m getting old and my body can’t keep up. You young people have fun. I’m going to sit in the side hall for a while and talk to them.”

Just as he was about to leave, Grandpa Shang remembered something else:

"By the way, your uncle Lu Lin is going to be late today. When he arrives, remember to tell him to come find me."

"I know, Grandpa."

After seeing Grandpa Shang off, Mu Zhou walked towards several friends with whom he had a good relationship.

After chatting for a short while, Mu Zhou saw through the window that the butler was leading Lu Lin through the gate.

Just as she was about to look away, she saw Lu Lin, as if by telepathy, looking right in her direction.

The two of them suddenly locked eyes.

The moment he saw her clearly, Lu Lin's eyes flickered slightly.

He didn't stop walking, so the view from the window was quickly blocked.

Mu Zhou's figure also disappeared.

But that fleeting glimpse was still imprinted in his mind.

The girl looked like a young woman from an ancient Greek oil painting, standing gracefully by the window, every strand of her hair perfectly styled.

Lu Lin's expression remained unchanged, but his breathing had become erratic.

*

Lu Lin's figure quickly appeared in the hall.

He instinctively looked towards the window, searching for that figure.

Their gazes quickly settled on Mu Zhou.

He strode toward her.

Once they reached her side, the two friends surrounding Mu Zhou consciously stepped back a bit.

Lu Lin lowered his eyes to look at the girl in front of him.

She wore a full face of makeup today, a rare occurrence for her. Her eyes were slightly upturned with eyeliner, and her lips were painted with cherry pink lipstick, glistening and inviting.

Seeing her up close seemed to intensify the impact on Lu Lin.

His eyes darkened.
