After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

"Hello, Sister Yuan!"

Jiang Yuan: "..."

Zhou Yu: "..."

The group stared at each other, a palpable awkwardness filling the air.

Jiang Yuan twitched slightly. She quickly waved her hand, and after the girls left, she smiled at the boy and said, "Well, I've helped them a lot before because I'm always willing to help others, so everyone likes to call me Sister Yuan."

Zhou Yu gave a knowing reply and chuckled dryly, "So that's how it is. I thought you were some kind of bully who oppressed your classmates."

"How can this be?!"

Jiang Yuan quickly shook her head in denial, repeatedly assuring him as if afraid he might have doubts.

"Well, it's getting late, I'll head home now."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan immediately perked up, her eyes widening. "Where do you live? I'll take you home!"

"No need, I..." Zhou Yu was just thinking about how to refuse when he turned around and saw a black car approaching in the distance. A hint of surprise flashed across his face. "Ah, someone's here to pick me up. I'll talk to you later, see you tomorrow!"

Zhou Yu took a few steps forward, opened the car door, and bent down to sit inside.

He looked out the car window and saw Jiang Yuan still gazing intently in his direction.

Zhou Yu quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at the butler in the driver's seat, somewhat disappointed, "...Did Mu Chenxi send you to pick me up?"

"Yes, sir. Miss Mu is working overtime at the company and asked me to pick you up to go home."

"That's it..."

Zhou Yu nodded, hugged the bag containing the books to his chest, then leaned back in his chair, found a comfortable spot, and closed his eyes for a short rest.

After returning home, Zhou Yu didn't even eat dinner before starting to prepare for his lessons.

The pace of this offline learning class is quite fast. He could barely keep up on the first day, so you can imagine how much pressure he will face in the future.

Zhou Yu sat on the bed with his tablet, studying while waiting for her to get off work.

Around 10 p.m., Mu Chenxi finally returned.

Mu Chenxi pushed open the bedroom door and saw the man engrossed in his computer. Her handsome brows furrowed slightly. "Stop studying for now. The housekeeper said you didn't have dinner. Eat something before you start studying."

Hearing the noise, Zhou Yu looked up and smiled brightly, "You're back. I'll go eat after I finish watching this part. Oh, by the way, I have something I want to tell you later."

Mu Chenxi nodded upon hearing this, "Then you can do as you please, I'll go take a shower first."

"it is good!"

After Mu Chenxi came out of the bathroom, Zhou Yu closed his book and got off the bed.

Mu Chenxi dried her hair with a dark towel, her beautiful face radiating a refreshing beauty that softened her usual cold aura.

"Tell me what's going on."

Zhou Yu was working on his words. He was busy with his studies and wanted to move to the guest room next door.

Today was alright, Mu Chenxi got off work late.

But she can't always come back this late. If they live together, it will not only disturb Mu Chenxi's work, but also delay her studies.

How can I say it in a way that won't make the big shot think too much and still achieve my goal?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Yu felt that the big boss should have no reason to object, since it was a decision that would benefit both of them.

So, without any preamble, he said directly, "Mu Chenxi, I'll be moving to the guest room tonight. I've already chosen a room, right next to yours."

Upon hearing this, Mu Chenxi's expression suddenly changed, her dark and deep eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked in a deep voice, "Move next door... what's the reason?"

Zhou Yu didn't sense the unusual atmosphere and came up with an excuse, saying, "I study late and I'm afraid it will affect your rest."

Mu Chenxi sat down next to the man and chuckled softly, "It won't take up any time, I..."

The words, "If your legs hurt at night, it will be convenient for you to take care of them," were stuck in my throat before I could even say them.

She almost forgot that her leg was no longer an excuse.

Mu Chenxi took a breath and then said casually, "It's okay, I can stay up all night with you. You can study here, and I can work overtime together tonight."

Zhou Yu frowned. "Overtime? But you always leave work early, and I don't see you working overtime after you get back."

Mu Chenxi: "..."

Mu Chenxi had no way to express her suffering, so she could only grit her teeth and vent her frustration in silence.

What do you mean by not working overtime?

The Mu Group is enormous, and the workload is simply overwhelming.

She was clearly working hard at the company to finish her work on time, just so she could come home earlier every day and spend more time with him.

As a result, he actually thought this meant he should sleep in a separate room from her?!

Mu Chenxi almost choked on her breath. Just as she was about to retort, the man's firm voice came again, "Mu Chenxi, you don't have to accommodate me. It's fine for me to sleep in the guest room. We won't bother each other. Anyway, Auntie just came by a couple of days ago and probably won't be coming again anytime soon... Okay, it's decided then. I'll move next door today!"

Mu Chenxi: "..."

In the end, she could only watch helplessly as the man, wearing slippers, left the master bedroom carrying a blanket.

Mu Chenxi sat down on the edge of the bed with a gloomy and depressed expression. She looked extremely depressed, as if a dark cloud had enveloped her.

All that effort she put in during this time has been for naught... all gone in one fell swoop.

If she had known better, she shouldn't have suggested he study for certifications. At least if they had stayed the same as before, their relationship would have gradually grown closer.

This time it was pulled back up again.

Suddenly, a sound came from the doorway. She paused for a moment, then immediately looked up with delight at the door, hoping to see the man who had regretted his decision and returned.

When Mu Chenxi saw that the person who came in was indeed Zhou Yu, she almost couldn't help but laugh out loud, but she managed to suppress it with her strong self-control.

She had to restrain herself; even if she was happy, she couldn't show it.

Zhou Yu sneaked in, a hint of embarrassment on his handsome face. "Um, sorry, I left my tablet behind."

After saying that, Zhou Yu strode forward, picked up the tablet, and disappeared in a flash.

Mu Chenxi: "..."

She had intended to bear the piercing pain in her heart and watch him leave again, but to her surprise, Zhou Yu, upon reaching the door, not only didn't look back, but also casually closed the door behind him!

Mu Chenxi was completely heartbroken this time.

She couldn't sleep again that night.

Mu Chenxi couldn't sleep at night, so she got up and went downstairs to get a glass of water. While she was boiling the water, she saw the night watchman passing by.

It was the one who picked Zhou Yu up to go home that night.

"come over."
