    When Mu Rui was preparing to go to work the night shift, he called Xu Wen.

    "Hey, Xiaochu hasn't returned to the South Campus yet. I heard she missed the last bus. Can you help pick her up? I have to go to my part-time job now," Murui calmly spoke on the phone, as he was currently working as a matchmaker.

    "Ah!" Xu Wen's face was filled with confusion. "You're telling me to pick up your sister? And ride a bicycle there?"

    "Rubbish, what other cars do you have?"

    Xu Wen remained silent on the other end of the phone.

    "Hurry up! I'm worried about her being alone," Mu Rui said, opposing his thoughts. With such a strong-willed girl as his sister, whoever messes with her will be unlucky.

    "Oh..."

    After hanging up the phone, Xu Wen looked at the book "Walden Lake" on the table with great helplessness. It's true that when you eat someone's mouth, you're short of someone's hand. On the other hand, Mu Rui smirked in delight, finally finding a successor. He then tapped the screen of his mobile phone and sent a message to Cheng Jin.

    When are you leaving?

    Cheng Jin went to the parking lot. His bicycle had a blown tire last time, but he had already replaced it and fixed it.

    I'm in the garage, come over.

    [(*^__^*) Coming soon!]

    Mu Rui has become increasingly adept at making friends and getting close to people. Whether it's online or in real life, he's become less hostile towards his master on the internet. After all, those online relationships are nothing more than a game.

    Now I'm more interested in chatting about Master's personal matters. By the way, it's really impressive to become good friends with a powerful deity, especially one who is usually cold and aloof!

    Hurrying over to the bicycle shed, Murui saw Cheng Jin waiting by his bicycle, beckoning him with a wave. Cheng Jin smiled faintly, stood up straight, and supported his own bicycle.

    "Let's go, time is running out."

    "Mhmm."

    Mù Ruì rode his own bicycle behind, and he noticed that the color of Cheng Jin's bike seemed faded, not like that of a rich person. Taking a closer look, even his jeans appeared washed out. Could it be that he was mistaken?

    The night fell, and the sky turned a dark shade of blue, tinged with a hint of black clouds.

    The weather was already gloomy during the day, with the weather forecast predicting rain. However, it remained overcast all day without a drop. The weather in these months of March and April fluctuated between cold and hot, with a drizzle every other day and clear skies on alternate days.

    The bar was crowded and loud, with scantily clad girls dancing vigorously on the stage. The two of them changed into different clothes and left the bar.

    A Zhe, with sharp eyes, took advantage of Mu Rui's rest and pulled him over. He asked in a low voice, "Did you come here with him as classmates?"

    "Just on the way, it's a university."

    "Oh... it seems like your classmate is quite popular." Ah Zhe said as he cast his gaze towards Cheng Jin. Mu Rui also looked over.

    Cheng Jinduan placed the wine on the table and a few girls on the side seemed very interested in him, pulling him to pour the wine. Unable to see clearly under the dim light, Mu Rui didn't know if he had mistaken it, but there was a faint blush on Cheng Jinduan's face.

    "Little handsome, next time I want you to pour the wine personally." The blonde woman leaned on Cheng Jin's shoulder. He felt a bit awkward, slightly frowning. "You've had too much to drink."

    The surrounding girls burst into laughter, "Teasing the little boy, huh? You better leave quickly, or your husband might catch you."

    The woman forced a bitter smile, downed a cup of wine in one gulp, and muttered, "What husband? It's all nonsense. He's allowed to have a mistress, but I'm not allowed to have a fling." As she spoke, she appeared on the verge of collapsing, and the girl next to her quickly stood up to support her.

    Cheng Jin quickly stepped aside, put down his things, and left. He knew that these situations were bound to happen here, and he felt hopeless in his heart.

    Mu Rui curiously propped up his head, watching him enter and exit steadily while holding the tray, seeming a bit absent-minded.

    A Zhe tapped his head, "Young master, we have guests again."

    "Oh..."

    Mu Rui regained his senses and replied casually. He hopped off the rocking chair and left, carrying the wine in his hands.

    The two people seem to have no connection, it is faint, like clear water.

    After work, Murui found Cheng Jin staring blankly at his phone screen in the locker room. He greeted him with a "Hey, what are you thinking about?" as he took his shoes out of his own small locker.

    Cheng Jin suddenly snapped back to reality and gave him a faint smile. "It's okay. Oh, by the way, you should go back on your own later. I still have something to do."

    "Oh..." Murui felt a slight disappointment.

    Mu Rui took a long time to pack up his things. It was only after Cheng Jin left that he slowly changed his clothes. As he rode his bicycle outside, Mu Rui suddenly noticed Cheng Jin with a girl on the opposite side of the road. He stared wide-eyed, realizing that it wasn't Luo Qing, but a face he had never seen before. She looked like a young girl.

    "Could it be his new girlfriend? This guy!"

    Mu Rui instantly lost any favorable impression he had of him, resolutely not allowing himself to be soft-hearted towards the enemy! He grumbled a few frustrated words and angrily rode his bicycle, suddenly gathering his courage and riding back, undaunted by the darkness.

    Xu Wen rode his bicycle through the city and circled around to the train station that Mu Chu had mentioned on the phone. He missed the bus, so he simply sat on the bench there and waited for the next one.

    The weather was gloomy, and the cold wind had become stronger. Mu Chu wore a school uniform for the first time in the middle of winter and her legs were trembling from the cold. As she watched the beautiful girls passing by, she enjoyed the free street fashion show. She truly felt that the desire to be beautiful is universal, and it is something that has been passed down from one generation to the next without exception.

    The pitter-patter sound emerged from the ceiling, causing passersby to quicken their pace. They muttered to the person next to them, "It's raining. This unpredictable weather is really annoying."

    Mu Chu stood up from the bench, straightened his collar, and took out an umbrella from his backpack. He looked towards the end of the street, wondering why that guy hadn't arrived yet. On the other hand, Xu Wen was having extremely bad luck as he sped up on his bike. Traffic lights were particularly frustrating. He was in such a hurry that he didn't even wear a raincoat.

    Mu Rui's head was covered in a dark cloud, being drizzled by a light and misty rain.

    After Cheng Jin dropped the girl off at the hotel, he took his bicycle back to the bar and stored it temporarily. Then he walked alone in the rain.

    The drizzle was misty, as if it had been a long time since I had smelled the fragrance of grass and soil. The cool raindrops were blown by the wind and fell on my face.

    Cheng Jin blinked her eyes, and warm tears slid down her face, dripping onto the ground.
