The fox by the water sent a friend request, and Muri clicked on "accept". Then, he went invisible, and privately messaged Shechuan.

Wu Zhonghua: Sorry, Master, my account was hacked earlier! Please don't mind if I said anything offensive. I probably won't be playing with this account anymore, so I'll compensate you with the only remaining set of immortal tools as an apology.

After finishing speaking, they clicked on "gift".

With a beep from the interface, his avatar turned black, and She Chuan's avatar instantly lit up.

[Shechuan: Bye Bye]

Mu Rui instantly felt like he was splashed with cold water. So, he was avoiding me after all! Hmph! Trying to shake me off? I'll make sure to cling to you until you can't take it anymore!

Mu Rui happily registered another new account. He chose a lively and adorable red-clad girl as his avatar, though her level was quite weak. He quickly completed some tasks to avoid being discovered by the players who knew him as someone else, and to make sure that his new account appeared completely fresh and new.

The name is called... called, Wutong-ye!

Having completed a matter close to his heart, Murui was feeling great. He hummed a song as he began leveling up his characters, only shutting down the computer when his eyes couldn't bear it any longer. He flopped onto the bed and carelessly stuffed his clothes at the head of the bed. He stretched lazily and comfortably, then promptly dozed off, his useless self sinking into the pillows.

The next day.

When Mu Rui was eating with Xu Wen in the cafeteria, Xu Wen bumped his arm and he took a mouthful of rice, muttering, "What's up?"

Xu Wen pointed with his chin and said, "Look, over there, that person eating alone."

Mu Rui glanced over and saw an ordinary-looking boy. There was nothing particularly special about his appearance. "Who is it? Do you know him?"

Xu Wen cast a contemptuous glance at Mu Rui and said, "The one who confessed to Luo Qing."

Murui choked for a moment, pretending to be indifferent, he lowered his head and poked around the bowl with his chopsticks. With a casual tone, he said, "What does it have to do with me?"

Xu Wen sneered, "I don't care, say whatever you want."

Muruo muttered in his heart, wondering what was so good about that guy that Luo Qing would actually like him.

Cheng Jin was eating alone in the corner, and Mu Rui and the others arrived relatively late, so they only saw him in the empty cafeteria. It was difficult for them to have a chance to meet on ordinary days.

After leaving the cafeteria, Xu Wen headed to the library while Mu Rui walked alone. As he walked past the dormitory building, he unintentionally caught sight of Cheng Jin preparing to ride his bicycle outside. However, he had only taken a few steps before stopping. A somewhat frail figure got off the bike and squatted down to inspect it. It seemed like the tire had been punctured.

Mu Rui sincerely felt that he was both great and petty. He just wanted to know what kind of person Cheng Jin was.

"Hey classmate, if it's urgent, why don't you use my bicycle? I'm also from the School of Physical Electronics."

Cheng Jin caught a glimpse of a pair of feet standing beside him. Slowly raising his head, he saw him. When he saw the person, he was slightly stunned. He remembered that he had seen this classmate before, on the football team in the Department of Electronics and Physics. Since he really wanted to go and do part-time reporting, Cheng Jin was afraid that he didn't have enough time and couldn't afford to decline. "Then how do I repay you?"

Mu Rui smiled, "Just stop downstairs, it's fine." But in his heart, he despised this guy. How impolite!

Cheng Jin smiled at him, "Thank you."

Mu Rui felt a little embarrassed. He himself had some impure thoughts, but he didn't really fit the description of those two words. "Just you wait, I'll go to the bike shed and bring my bicycle over."

Cheng Jin pulled his car to the side and took the umbrella from Mu Rui. Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Oh, if we don't lock it, it might get stolen. The keys..."

"Oh." Murui glanced around and handed him the bicycle key. He caught sight of a Chinese parasol tree and pointed to the branches amidst the leaves. "Here's the key, you can put it there when you come back."

Cheng Jin was surprised. Could he simply return it directly to his dormitory? But Mu Rui didn't think so. He couldn't let more people know about this shameless act of getting close to his rival in love!

Cheng Jin took the key with gratitude, nodded, and rode off on his bike. Mu Rui made a victorious gesture in his heart and smirked as he returned to the dormitory.

The game world at night is still lively. By the water's edge, the fox and others waited and waited until the little sprite finally logged in.

Wutongye sent a friend request.

The fox by the water agreed without needing to look.

By the water's edge, the Fox said: "Xiao Yezi, yin yin, what a tender name. (=^_^=)" Having just introduced the characters, the Fox immediately pounced and kissed the little beauty, Wutong Ye.

Wutongye: →_→ You are now a man, so mind your words and actions. By the way, how did you know it was me?

Beside the water, a fox; I only just realized it's you.

[Wutong Ye: -_-|||]

Beside the water, the fox said, "Enough with the small talk. Let me bring you into the group."

【Wutongye: Oh...】

The charming beauty in red followed the muscular Wudang swordsman and stood under the tree. A fox appeared by the water, with a group message: "Red Beauty Court."

Mu Rui couldn't help but feel disgusted when he saw this name and then looked at his own cute little body. In order to flirt with Shewu Chuan, his moral integrity had already been shattered.

[Group Chat][Fox by the Water: My new apprentice has arrived, please welcome him warmly.]

[Group Chat][Blooming Spring: Throwing confetti.]

[Group Chat] [Darlavia: Fox, are you a little fujoshi?]

[Group Chat][Water-side Fox: Oh my, sister, can you be a little more subtle? You might scare the newcomers.]

When Murui saw this, he was already shocked. His sister is just one of them, and he darn well knows what this is all about. He hurriedly opened a private chat and knocked: [Wutongye: I want to leave the group!]

Beside the water, the fox said: "You're just an innocent little girl right now, so don't pay attention to them, pretending to be a girl."

[Wutong Ye: ......]

"Can we please stop taking being unlucky to the extreme?"

[Group Chat][Wutongye: ^_^ Hello everyone.]

[Group Chat][Fox by the Water: Everyone, behave yourselves and stop teasing the little beauty. She is my disciple. If you scare her away, I'll chop you all up and feed you to the fish.]

[Group Chat] [Miss Mermaid: Hmm, you're absolutely right. I happen to be hungry right now.]

[Group Chat][Pineapple: Hey, the fox has some new tricks!]

[Group Chat] [Spring Blooms: By the way, which grade is the new pretty girl in this year?]

Watching herself being called a beauty, and watching the people who called her a beauty, Mu Rui repeatedly banged her head against the table in her heart. How foolish she was.

【Group Chat】【Wutongye: Um, sophomore year】

[Group Chat] [Fox by the Water: ... Such a pure child]

[Group Chat] [Pineapple: I saw the words "innocence" shining brightly.]

[Group Chat] [Fox by the Water: So, please don't harm him.]

[Group Chat] [Miss Mermaid: Him? (⊙o⊙) Wow]

Mu Rui spat out a mouthful of old blood. Damn fox.

[Group Chat][Water Side Fox: Simply a typo, her!]

[Group Chat][Wutong Ye: Ahem, don't we need to do missions?]

[Group Chat] [Da Ai Xiao Ai]: There's a new person here, so I've decided to make an appearance and extend a warm welcome. (*^__^*) Hehe... Aren't my sisters loyal and enthusiastic!

[Group Chat][Wutongye: Oh... O(∩_∩)O thank you]

[Group Chat][Fox by the Water: Alright, alright, everyone should do whatever they need to do. My disciple needs to level up.]

【Group Chat】【Miss Mermaid: Bai Bai】

Mu Rui quickly closed this window and waited outside for the Water-side Foxes to finish their greetings and form teams. He also took the opportunity to look around the surroundings to see if there was any sign of Shechuan.

At the water's edge, the fox asked, "What are we going to do now?"

Wu Tongye: Go to Jingyue Mountain to complete a mission, by the way, do you know Shechuan?

Mu Rui was trying to gather information when the recitation of Xu Wen's voice reached his ears. For someone who didn't understand poetry, it felt really strange and unsettling. In annoyance, he casually grabbed a small bread and hurled it towards Xu Wen.
