When he saw her handing him something, Mu Yuchen instantly stopped and looked a little surprised at her little face blushing. Seeing how shy she was, he could not help but laugh. He squinted his eyes and looked at her. Then, he unhurriedly took the envelope while saying meaningfully, "Is this a love letter?"

When she heard him, Xi Xiaye rolled her eyes. "Do I look like someone so tacky?"

He smiled and then reached out his long fingers to take the envelope. Opening it, he pulled out what was inside.

What greeted his eyes was unexpectedly a drawing of him reading while laying on the couch. It was drawn very life-like except that he was shrunk into the size of a palm and drawn onto a little card.

She had drawn him so nicely?

Mu Yuchen stared at the card for a long while. For the first time, he noticed that he was actually so dashing!

"Why does this quiet, handsome man look kinda familiar? He looks quite dashing too like I've seen him somewhere before..."

His eyes flashed with a faint light as he looked up slowly at her. His mouth turned into a faint curve, while one hand held her by the shoulders.

She could not hold back and playfully punched his torso with a fist. "Stop acting! I don't usually draw people."

When Xi Xiaye finished, Mu Yuchen's handsome face flashed a smile, and then he remembered that comic hidden in the folder on his shelf. "I know. You only draw pigs..."

When she heard this, Xi Xiaye instantly straightened up in alarm and squinted. She glanced at him coldly. "You wouldn't be beating around the bush to curse me now, would you?"

After being with someone like him for a long time, she felt that her awareness to be on guard had increased. Otherwise, she would be easily taken advantage of.

He blinked in amusement and smiled without a word.

"How annoying! You're making insinuations about me!" She looked at the smile on his lips and could not help but jump on him. "Return that to me!"

He immediately raised an arm and said, "Do I look like someone like that? I was just telling the truth, but thank you, Missus, for making me look so dashing in your drawing."

Then, he gently hugged her. After some thought, he softly asked, "Do you think he looks more handsome, or do I?"

When he said this, Xi Xiaye was stunned. She looked up in shock at him, her twinkling eyes flickering with a gentle light. She stared at that handsome face of his for a very long time in earnest, and then said with a serious expression, "He's more handsome than you."

Hearing her reply, his tranquil, dark eyes instantly started to ignite with a glimmer. He seemed quite satisfied. "Good. Your standards are the same as mine."

Had he done all of that just to disguise self-praise?

Xi Xiaye ignored him. Seeing that it was already late, she was about to say that she wanted to go home when suddenly the phone in her pocket buzzed. She quickly took it out to look.

It was Xi Mushan!

Her eyes reflexively flashed with a cold light that contained mixed emotions. She looked up at Mu Yuchen to see that he was looking at her phone screen.

"It's Father..."

Could it be about Xi Xinyi's matter?

"Answer it," he said softly and tightened his hug around her shoulders.

Xi Xiaye hesitated for a moment before finally taking a deep breath and sliding to answer.

"Xiaye, it's me, Father..." Xi Mushan's deep and raspy voice came from the other end very quickly. She could vaguely hear him lightly coughing. He seemed to be sick and sounded a little weak.

"Mmm..." Xi Xiaye answered. She struggled for a while, and finally could not help but ask, "Are... Are you okay?" Her beautiful brows frowned slightly.

She was not sure why but when she heard his voice, Xi Xinyi's words suddenly echoed clearly by her ear, making her feel something indescribable.

"If it wasn't for Father, you'd be in jail already. Father almost got demoted because of you. He would've been done for if Mother didn't ask for help from Grandfather and Uncle!"

She remembered that back then, she had even cried in front of Xi Mushan, begging him to ask the school not to expel her.

At that time, the answer he gave her was the cold view of his back.

After that...

The on-and-off coughing kept coming from the other end. On such a cold and silent night as this, it sounded particularly lonely.

"It's fine. It's just a little cold. I just got off the plane. Your father's told me about you and Mu Yuchen's thing. Tomorrow, if you're free, let's meet."

When he said this, Xi Xiaye instantly looked up and sought Mu Yuchen's opinion. She saw Mu Yuchen nodding gently. "Mmm, okay."

"Xiaye, can you... Can you... ask your mother to come along as well?" Xi Xiaye was about to hang up when Xi Mushan's weak voice seemed to sound a little rushed. "Call your mother to come along too. Let's consider it a reunion dinner..."

When she heard this, Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment and did not answer for a long time.

"Don't worry. It will just be me and your grandfather. I know that you don't want to see them," Xi Mushan explained.

She could hear the hope in Xi Mushan's voice. In fact, it seemed like he had not found out about Xi Xinyi's matter yet.

After a long while, Xi Xiaye just said, "I'll try." Then, she hung up, her twinkling eyes unable to hold back the extremely mixed feelings she felt.

"What are you thinking about that you're so entranced?" Mu Yuchen called out to her quite a few times, but she did not react. He just took her phone and then called the Mu residence as he said, "It's good to meet up too. Haven't you been wanting to matchmake your parents again?"

"But I don't know if back then... Also, Father's already..." Xi Xiaye muttered, concern between her brows.

"I've never supported the spirit of sacrificing yourself for others. Since someone else has stolen what's yours, why can't you steal it back? If you like it, then you've got to have it. Why should you see them be happy while you suffer all of this?"

Mu Yuchen looked at her disapprovingly, then the call to Mu residence got through. It was Wang Hui who picked up. When she saw who called, she did not even wait for Mu Yuchen to speak and quickly called out sweetly for her granddaughter-in-law.

"Have you eaten all those things? There's still more at home if you've finished them. Come home with Chen Er. The strawberries in our yard are ready for picking. They're pretty good..."

Wang Hui rambled on before noticing that no one had spoken on Xi Xiaye's end, so she then stopped.

"Tomorrow, call Grandfather, Father, and Mother to make a trip to Maple Residence. Xiaye's grandfather and father are coming over from her end." Mu Yuchen's calm voice was heard.

"Chen Er? What? Grandfather and Father? Xi Jiyang and Xi Mushan, right?"

"Mmm, let's meet tomorrow. Rest well."

...

Mu Yuchen hung up, then turned to look at her. When he saw her frown, he breathed in and patted her head. "Let's go home. I'll persuade Mother..."

She then nodded and looked at him gratefully.
