Reborn Fairy Wife Takes Me on a Gaggle-Fire rampage

Chi Zao, however, remained calm, seemingly having anticipated Su Qingyun's reaction. He smiled slightly and explained unhurriedly, "You're still too young; you don't understand the ins and outs of this world. The circle we're in is like a small pond. Even the slightest breeze can cause it to spread like wildfire, unstoppable!"

Hearing this, Su Qingyun couldn't help but purse her lips and retort with slight dissatisfaction, "Hmph, you think you know so much! You talk so eloquently, as if you're some kind of know-it-all."

Just then, a series of crisp, pleasant sounds rang out—ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong. It turned out to be a series of notification sounds from the phone.

Chi Zao raised her eyebrows triumphantly, pointed at her phone screen, and her eyes flashed with a hint of cunning and suspicion: "See? I wasn't wrong, was I? Look at the messages in the group chat, they're exactly the same as what I just said!"

Meanwhile, Su Yun remained calm and composed in the pavilion, elegantly picking up a cup of fragrant tea, taking a small sip, closing his eyes, and savoring the aroma and richness of the tea. His leisurely demeanor made him seem like a transcendent immortal, detached from worldly affairs, completely oblivious to the hustle and bustle of the world around him.

A little while later, someone sent a red envelope in the group with a message: "Su Su, I heard that she seems to have been depressed and attempted suicide!" This message was like a bombshell, instantly causing a huge uproar in the group.

"Yeah, that's not surprising at all. With so much pressure in society these days, these kinds of things happen all the time!"

"Don't just watch the show, she's actually quite pitiful. Back then, all those rumors about her spread like wildfire in our class, like a plague, and anyone who got involved was doomed..."

"Then tell me about it?"

"In her blossoming middle school years, her mother departed like a withered petal; in her senior year of high school, her father also fell like an autumn leaf, leaving her behind. Her other family members saw her as a jinx, yet her beauty was as striking as a lotus emerging from the water. In university, she shone like a star in the night sky, attracting numerous suitors, but she remained as pure as a lotus, single-minded, knowing that without her parents' protection, her tuition would depend solely on part-time jobs. Rumors swirled like a tidal wave at school, and she, like a vulnerable lamb, was manipulated by a spoiled brat..." The spoiled rich kid, like a hungry wolf, had his eye on her. After being assaulted, she found herself pregnant. The rich kid's family background was like a towering mountain; how could she possibly be a match for such a large family? Like a wounded fawn, she went to the hospital alone to have an abortion. Afterward, she took a month of sick leave, as if giving her soul a long vacation. However, the rumors at school raged like a storm, relentlessly eroding her fragile heart, and she never had the courage to return to the school she once knew.

Su Yun stood aside, dumbfounded, listening to the words of the person in front of her, her heart filled with shock and emotion: "The malice this world harbors towards girls is just like a surging, rolling tide, endless and unstoppable."

“That’s true, especially for those beautiful girls with outstanding looks. They are like delicate flowers, silently enduring endless torment and suffering in the storms of the world,” Chi Zao echoed.

At this moment, Su Yun gazed silently at the raindrops falling softly outside the window, as if the entire world was shrouded in this curtain of rain. After a while, she slowly raised her head, her gaze inadvertently glancing at the balcony of the building next door. In that instant, she saw a pair of eyes burning with an intense intensity, staring intently at her without any attempt to conceal their gaze.

"Oh my god! Doesn't this person have to go to work? Why is he just staring at people all day long?" Su Yun couldn't help but murmur softly, her voice so soft that only she could hear it.

"Hmm? What did you just say?" Chi Zao asked curiously as she leaned closer.

"Oh, no...it's nothing. I was just saying it casually. I just wanted to ask, when is this rain finally going to stop?" Su Yun quickly changed the subject, but her eyes still unconsciously kept glancing in that direction.

"Hehe, that's hard to say. But even when it's not raining, your small and exquisite courtyard looks so peaceful and beautiful, like a magnificent painting, filled with an atmosphere that makes people feel intoxicated."

"You sit here and wait for me to come back. I'm going out for a bit and I'll be right back," Su Yun said gently to Chi Zao.

"Okay, then hurry back." Chi Zao nodded in response.

After saying that, Su Yun picked up the umbrella beside her, slowly opened the door and walked out. The rain outside was drizzling, making a crisp sound as it hit the umbrella.

Su Yun arrived at the door next door, raised her hand, and gently knocked.

Without saying a word, Mu Chen hurriedly ran down from the second floor to greet Su Yun.

"Oh, Mr. Mu, you seem so carefree every day. Could it be that you came here specifically to keep an eye on me?" Su Yun blinked and teased him playfully.

"Haha, look at what you're saying. How can this be called staring at you? I'm clearly thinking about you all the time and can't wait to see you!" Mu Chen explained with a laugh, while reaching out his arm and gently pulling Su Yun into his embrace.

Su Yun was completely unprepared for Mu Chen's actions. She was momentarily flustered and stiffened, leaning against Mu Chen's warm embrace. Time seemed to stand still at that moment, leaving only the sounds of their breathing and heartbeats mingling together…

"Oh dear, you're hugging me way too tight! Loosen your grip a bit!" Su Yun complained, frowning. She felt like she was being suffocated. Hearing this, Mu Chen quickly released his grip and looked at Su Yun apologetically, saying, "Sorry, I was too excited just now and didn't pay attention to my strength."

Immediately afterward, Mu Chen turned and walked to the coffee machine, skillfully operating it. A moment later, a fragrant cup of coffee was placed in front of Su Yun. However, before Su Yun could even pick up the cup, she shook her head and said, "I don't really like this bitter taste." She then gently pushed the cup away, indicating her refusal.
