"Speak clearly." Captain Mu’s voice grew colder.
Lin Junyang shivered over the phone and continued, "I just saw Tuzi leaving hurriedly with a backpack from the dorm. She didn’t actually sneak out without telling you, did she?"
Earlier, he joked about a runaway rabbit, but hearing Captain Mu’s tone, he feared that the rabbit did indeed escape. Impressive, to run away from Captain Mu. After giving An Ran a thumbs-up, Lin Junyang silently lit a candle.
"I’m at the cafeteria. Come pick me up in three minutes."
With that, Captain Mu hung up and threw the food container onto the dining table.
That lousy girl, how daring of her to leave without a word. Was he really that terrifying?
An Ran looked around after leaving the dorm building. Luckily, the dorm wasn’t far from the main gate, and she quickly exited and found a relatively hidden spot to hide.
Before long, a white Porsche pulled up. An Ran, still surveying the surroundings, keeping an eye on every taxi, saw the Porsche’s window roll down. A refined, jade-like man looked at her and said, "Get in."
"Class... Class president," An Ran hadn’t expected Lu Yi to come in a sports car. She recognized the Porsche, as Ye Sheng had one too. It made sense; anyone who could treat the whole class to a meal at Shengbaiwei without a second thought had to come from wealth.
An Ran didn’t hesitate and got in. After she buckled her seatbelt, Lu Yi drove away.
"Boss, should we chase after them?"
Lin Junyang was driving and saw this scene just as he and Captain Mu left the gate. Seeing Tuzi get into the white Porsche, he felt the temperature in the car drop a few degrees. Lin Junyang turned off the air conditioning but dared not look at Captain Mu’s expression.
"Let’s go back." The deep, husky voice came from behind.
"Huh?" They were just going to let Tuzi go? Lin Junyang cast a suspicious glance at Captain Mu. His cold face revealed no emotions, and the sharp aura from before had vanished. This side of Captain Mu oddly evoked a hint of loneliness.
Loneliness? Lin Junyang was startled by his own thought. In his impression, Captain Mu had never shown such an emotion.
Turning the car around, Lin Junyang drove back into the compound.
Back in the dormitory, the room still carried the sweet, unique scent of the little girl. Captain Mu slumped onto the couch, thinking of how she got into the Porsche without looking back. If he hadn’t recognized the driver as their class president, he would have chased them down. What a heartless little girl.
He took out his phone and saved An Ran’s number. Soon, his messaging app suggested a new friend to add. Seeing An Ran’s profile picture, as adorable as ever with bunny ears and blushing cheeks, Captain Mu couldn’t help but smile.
His thumb rubbed the profile picture twice. Acting faster than he could think, he tapped the ’Add’ button.
After that, Captain Mu felt a bit nervous. Would she accept his friend request? His screen name was his own name, Mu Xingfeng.
Thinking about it, Captain Mu hastily deleted his name, replacing it with three dots. Honestly, he had never felt so flustered before. He was both excited and a little nervous.
