Then the two beauties exchanged a smile without prior agreement and began to chat softly with each other.
The surrounding passengers, probably never having seen such agile moves, applauded approvingly! The opponents were too weak, and Lin Mu had no interest in seriously confronting them. Teaching them a lesson was enough, as the money had already been returned to its owner. Lin Mu had no intention of calling the train’s service police to arrest them.
Coincidentally, the train’s announcement came with the message that the train had arrived at the station. Lin Mu and Zhou Xun hurriedly packed their luggage. Gao Fei, the thief, seized the opportunity to get up quickly and dashed off the train. They knew that if they didn’t run now, they would have to wait for the police to come and catch them.
With Lin Mu’s help, the plump mature woman retrieved her money and was naturally grateful to Lin Mu. She immediately offered him two hundred yuan in thanks!
Oh, two hundred yuan is quite a lot! Unfortunately, Lin Mu didn’t care and returned it to her. After a wave of gratitude, the lady got off the train, while the enthusiastic girl chatted with Zhou Xun and Lin Mu for a bit.
"Thank you, Brother Lin. If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t know what to do!"
The girl had already learned something about Lin Mu from Zhou Xun, knowing that he was also a kindly person. Grateful, because if it weren’t for Lin Mu’s timely appearance, she feared she would have been harshly dealt with by those bald thieves today!
Lin Mu waved his hand, "No need to be polite! In fact, everyone should learn from you, for being so helpful to others. Let’s get to know each other. May I know your name..."
Lin Mu had a characteristic or flaw that wasn’t too big or too small, which was that he couldn’t resist knowing any pretty girl he encountered!
"Um, nice to meet you, I’m Liu Yifei, almost the same name as the famous actress Liu Yifei!" Liu Yifei introduced herself, extending her hand.
"It’s not just the name that’s similar; even your looks aren’t far off!" Lin Mu complimented, thinking for a moment, then suddenly recalled something,
"Liu Yifei? Why does that sound so familiar?"
Lin Mu mumbled as he tried to recall carefully. The name seemed to ring a bell, and he felt a sense of déjà vu upon first seeing her.
Hell, I remember now, the barbecue restaurant, Liu Yemei’s daughter!
No wonder she seemed so familiar; it turns out he had seen her photo in her mother’s room!
So Lin Mu quickly smiled and shook hands with her but didn’t mention the relationship with her mother,
"Oh, nice to meet you, I’m Lin Mu... a quiet handsome man..."
"Brother Lin, you’re so funny!" Liu Yifei smiled, revealing two sweet dimples, "It’s getting late, and I still need to find a place to stay. If fate allows, we’ll meet again!"
Liu Yifei said goodbye with a wave and turned around to walk away.
"Alright, see you if fate allows!"
Lin Mu and Zhou Xun waved goodbye to her.
Lin Mu watched Liu Yifei’s beautiful figure fade into the distance, lost in thought. He originally thought her mother was already quite beautiful, but this girl had grown even more exquisite. Ahem, it’s a small world, or is it fate that Lin Mu should meet both mother and daughter?
"Hmph, what are you looking at since she’s already gone? If you can’t bear it, why not go with her!" Miss Zhou grumbled softly with a hint of jealousy.
Oh, Miss Zhou is jealous!
Lin Mu awkwardly stuck out his tongue, holding Miss Zhou’s delicate hand affectionately, saying, "How could that be? Right now, there’s a perfect ten beauty by my side, so when I see any other beauty, she tops out at six. Do you think I would abandon a perfect ten for a six?"
Zhou Xun assumed a disapproving expression, "So, once you see a beauty that’s a perfect twelve, you’ll immediately abandon me, the perfect ten! But you can’t be blamed, sigh, you men are all , unable to move when you see a pretty woman. Just look at the way you were just now, completely dazed, huh, no wonder they say there’s no good man out there..."
"Ahem, I’m being wronged here!"
Lin Mu cried out incessantly. What on earth was Miss Zhou thinking? He thought, you’re not my playful wife, why bother with me so much?
However, Lin Mu cautiously explained a bit, "That girl earlier, I found her familiar during the train ride but couldn’t recall where I’d seen her. Just now, when she mentioned her name, I realized she was a friend’s daughter..."
"Eh, why are you explaining so much to me?" Miss Zhou responded with a blank expression, "I’m not your anything..."
"Yeah, you’re not my anything, so why were you jealous of her just now?" Lin Mu chuckled softly,
"Ahem!" Miss Zhou blushed with anger, "Who was jealous of whom, explain it to me? Hmph!"
Seeing that Zhou Xun seemed to be getting angry, Lin Mu quickly apologized, "Alright, let’s pretend I didn’t say anything..."
"How could spoken words be taken back? It’s like spilled water, you can’t gather it back..."
Miss Zhou suddenly smiled charmingly, making Lin Mu feel a bit frustrated and once again lament how a woman’s face can change just like the weather in June, unpredictable and changeable!
Just when Lin Mu thought Zhou Xun’s mood had improved and she had resumed her smiling face, Miss Zhou unexpectedly flared up again, "Hmph, did I, this girl, ever get jealous?" "Even if I did, what I was eating wasn’t vinegar, it was soy sauce, Jia Jia soy sauce..."
"Uh, alright, then I’m just someone fetching soy sauce..." Lin Mu pulled a long face, "Alright, shall we end this twisted topic? Look, it’s getting late, let’s find a place to settle down!"
"There’s a hotel over there!"
Zhou Xun pointed with her delicate hand towards the right front, where indeed stood a lavishly designed Xingyu Hotel,
"Such a poetic name, maybe we’ll even see a meteor shower tonight!" Zhou Xun said,
"Well, then we’ll stay here tonight!"
Lin Mu nodded, thinking to himself that as long as he could share the room with Miss Zhou, even sleeping in a moldy basement or warehouse would have its own charm!
They walked hand in hand like a young couple, leisurely strolling down the spacious avenue of Shencheng City.
A few minutes later, the handsome man and beautiful woman found themselves at the Xingyu Hotel’s front desk.
"Miss, please give us a room!" Lin Mu said as he approached the front desk,
Zhou Xun quickly added, glaring fiercely at Lin Mu. In Miss Zhou’s eyes, it was clear that Lin Mu was doing it deliberately.
"Oh, two rooms then!" Lin Mu quickly corrected himself.
"I’m sorry, the last few days Shencheng City is hosting the World Economic Forum Elite Annual Meeting, so there’s been a sudden surge in guests, and our hotel rooms are limited. Now we only have one room left!"
