The sound of Lu Yulin’s voice drew the attention of several people around, naturally attracting the gaze of Mu Shinian and Elder Mu as well. Both of their eyes landed on Lu Yulin, the former not surprised, and the latter only stunned for a moment. Given his lifelong experience, he quickly returned to normal, smiling and saying, "The kid has quite a straightforward personality."
Although Elder Mu did not know what was going on with Lu Yulin, he really liked Lu Yulin’s forthright personality. His gaze involuntarily shifted to his grandson Mu Shinian and he unconsciously nodded slightly. He had always been worried that Shinian would make some bad friends, but this was the first time he saw Shinian bring a classmate home, and their relationship seemed quite good.
Most importantly, Lu Yulin was that old guy’s grandson.
Thinking of this, Elder Mu found himself liking Lu Yulin more and more.
Mu Shinian directly moved closer to Lu Yulin, his eyes landing on his phone while casually asking, "What’s wrong? You seem very heated. Did you eat gunpowder?"
Lu Yulin’s fingers kept sliding on his phone, his words unceasing as he sharply retorted, "It’s not just gunpowder, I might as well have eaten explosives. I don’t know which idiot actually..." As he spoke, he seemed to only then realize something, he quickly turned his head to look at Mu Shinian next to him, swiftly pocketing his phone, his other hand landing on Shinian’s shoulder, his eyebrows raised in a slightly teasing tone, "Mu Shinian, what are you doing? Don’t lean so close to me, otherwise, I’ll think you are interested in me..."
Mu Shinian, "...What nonsense are you talking? Only if I were brain-damaged would I be interested in you. I’m not into guys, go take your medicine if you haven’t." He gave him a dismissive glance, looking at Lu Yulin as if seeing an idiot, and immediately pushed away the imposing Mu Shinian. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel•fire.net
The expression on his face was full of... disdain.
"It’s better you’re not, otherwise, I’d really be afraid you’d fall for me." Lu Yulin still wore a smile on his face, his eyes twinkling cleverly, seemingly also praising himself for changing the topic smartly. He almost got caught by Mu Shinian just now, but thankfully, he managed it.
Mu Shinian, "..." suddenly felt that he couldn’t genuinely be friends with this guy anymore.
The trio didn’t stay in the backyard for long, because Song Qiao said she had to go out to buy some things, so she asked Mu Shinian and Lu Yulin to look after Elder Mu.
When the matron came down, the two fellows were bickering, neither yielding to the other. Elder Mu, feeling tired, didn’t bother with these two anymore and let the matron take him back to his room, allowing them to keep playing here.
The matron complied and directly wheeled Elder Mu back to his room.
By the time Mu Shinian and Lu Yulin realized it, there was no trace of the matron or Elder Mu. The two glanced at each other and huffed, just about to head back to accompany Elder Mu, but three persons coming their way blocked their path.
Mu Shinian looked up at the three people blocking their way, his face immediately darkening. Even Lu Yulin couldn’t help but slightly furrow his brows as he looked at the trio in front, displeasure evident in his eyes, though he didn’t say anything.
The newcomers were one woman and two men, all about the same age as Mu Shinian and Lu Yulin, looking like high school students.
