Lu Ziyin's mind raced through a thousand thoughts. Shen Chumo smiled knowingly. She was all too familiar with the way men looked at her. This Lu Ziyin was quite the rascal.

In the original story, Lu Ziyin is a representative of high-IQ, good students. Even though he likes the female lead, he never does anything out of line with her; he simply protects her silently from behind.

He never gave the original owner, the female supporting character who could harm the female lead, a kind look. His presence was felt in several incidents where the original owner was harmed.

After the Shen family's downfall, he founded his own company, which developed rapidly. Eventually, even the male protagonist put aside his prejudices and joined forces with him to develop a series of wildly popular products.

Having experienced several worlds, Shen Chumo understood that the original plot was the plot, and reality was reality. It was normal for reality to differ from the plot sometimes, after all, human nature was complex and couldn't be explained in a few words.

Therefore, Lu Ziyin did not show the same level of disgust towards the original owner as in the original text, and Shen Chumo was not so surprised.

Shen Chumo and the others were enjoying their meal when Shen Guoan suddenly asked, "Chumo, now that you're back in China, your parents asked me to find you a good school. When do you plan to start school?"

Linlin and Ziyin both attend Mingde Middle School. Why don't you go there too? That way you'll have company on your way to school.

Shen Lin and Lu Ziyin paused, their hands still holding their chopsticks, both thinking of the bet at school. How heartbroken would Mo Mo be if she knew she'd been used as a pawn in a bet, and also knew her fiancé had a girlfriend?

No, he/she must resolve this matter immediately; both of them made this decision in their hearts at the same time.

Shen Chumo naturally wanted to go to Mingde; she still needed to complete the storyline and fulfill her missions.

She nodded. "I'll listen to my uncle. But I need to visit my grandparents tomorrow and take care of some things, so I can only go to school in a couple of days."

Shen Guoan smiled and said, "It's only right to visit them. It's okay to start school a few days later. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything at the school."

Putting aside the matter with Gu Beichen, Shen Lin was still very happy to be attending the same school as Shen Chumo. She excitedly said, "That's great! Then my sister can go to and from school with me from now on."

Such a beautiful person is her older sister, who wouldn't envy her if word got out? Haha, Shen Lin was already imagining the scene of her appearing at school with Shen Chumo.

Her classmates surrounded her, their faces full of envy as they exclaimed, "Shen Lin, you're so lucky to have such a beautiful older sister! Please, can you get me an autograph?"

Shen Lin raised her head haughtily and waved her hand, "Want an autograph? You'd better all line up properly, and then we'll see if I give it to you or not."

The more Shen Lin thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed. In the end, she even accidentally laughed out loud. When she saw Shen Chumo looking at her strangely, Shen Lin blushed for a moment before she restrained herself.

After dinner, Madam Shen noticed Liu Ma giving her a meaningful look, and she understood immediately; it seemed the room was ready.

Madam Shen smiled and said to Shen Chumo, "Momo, your aunt will take you to your room. You must be tired after a long day. Get some rest."

Shen Lin was a little reluctant to part with her, and she hugged Shen Chumo's arm and said coquettishly, "Why don't you let my cousin sleep with me tonight? I want to talk to her a little more."

Madam Shen said disdainfully, "Don't you even look at how bad your sleeping posture is? What if you kick Chu Mo in the middle of the night?"

Thinking of her own ruthless sleeping posture, Shen Lin decisively shut her mouth. She decided to let it go; if her sister got hurt because of her, that would be a serious crime.

Shen Chumo chuckled, her voice as clear as a wind chime, drawing the attention of everyone around her. She patted Shen Lin's head and explained, "I just think Linlin is so cute."

Shen Lin grinned from ear to ear, her smile wide and radiant. Her sister had praised her again. Hehe, she was so happy.

Seeing this, Lu Ziyin couldn't help but feel a little jealous. She had barely glanced at him all night, but had spent the whole time talking to Shen Lin.

That wretched Shen Lin, just because she's Chu Mo's sister, she's always sticking to her side. I really want to talk to her more.

Lu Ziyin looked at Shen Chumo with pleading eyes, like a puppy begging for the goddess's favor. Just as they were about to part ways at the stairwell...

Shen Chumo suddenly turned to look at Lu Ziyin, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "Lu Ziyin, goodnight."

Lu Ziyin's eyes softened instantly. "Chu Mo, goodnight."

Turning around, Lu Ziyin couldn't help but smile, and her steps became much lighter. She said goodnight to him.

Shen Lin curled her lip, looking at Lu Ziyin's smug expression. She had always disliked Lu Ziyin, even though Lu Ziyin was usually quiet and reserved, and always spoke to them politely.

However, Shen Lin could sense that Lu Ziyin looked down on her. Despite being adopted by her family, he always carried an air of arrogance. He accepted the things his parents bought for him out of concern, but never used them.

Shen Lin accidentally saw Lu Ziyin's room and noticed that the gifts were still in their boxes. She complained to Shen Guoan, but Shen Guoan just sighed and told Shen Lin not to make things difficult for Lu Ziyin.

After all, Lu Ziyin was already quite old when she was adopted, so it's understandable that she wasn't close to them.

Shen Lin rolled her eyes at Lu Ziyin's back, which was seen by Shen Chumo. Shen Lin blushed immediately and nervously tapped her fingers. For some reason, she didn't want Shen Chumo to see her rude side.

Shen Chumo didn't say anything, but a smile played on her lips: "Linlin, goodnight to you too."

Shen Lin quickly replied, "Goodnight, sister."

Shen Chumo arrived at the room prepared by Madam Shen. Her luggage had already been brought into the room by the maid and was neatly arranged in the corner.

The warm yellow hue makes the whole room exceptionally cozy, and the four-piece bedding set is soft and delicate; you can tell at a glance that it would be very comfortable to lie on.

Actually, the guest room that Mrs. Shen had prepared before was not bad either, but this room had a better orientation and layout, and it also had a small balcony.

Shen Chumo walked onto the balcony, where the night breeze blew gently, making her feel refreshed and relaxed.

Shen Chumo turned to Madam Shen and said, "Thank you for preparing the room, Aunt. I like it very much."

Madam Shen looked at Shen Chumo, whose hair was slightly ruffled by the wind. The moonlight shone on her, making her radiate a soft glow, truly like a goddess descended to earth.

Madam Shen sighed inwardly once more, thinking that such beauty was truly unparalleled and could topple kingdoms.

She felt honored to have such a beautiful person speak to her.

"If you're happy, then Mo Mo, you should rest now. I won't bother you any longer."

Mrs. Shen carefully closed the door.

Shen Chumo was indeed a little tired. She stretched like a cat, then took out her clothes from her suitcase, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and then comfortably drifted off to sleep.

In another room on the second floor, Lu Ziyin tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

The thought that Shen Chumo was sleeping not far from him made him feel as if all the blood in his body rushed to one place.

Lu Ziyin sat up, covered his face, and chuckled softly. He repeated the name Shen Chumo over and over, as if trying to etch it into his heart.

Finally, Lu Ziyin got up and took a cold shower in the bathroom. She casually dried herself with a towel and sat down in front of the computer.
