On ordinary days, there wouldn't be much going on. But Mu Rui's antics in the dormitory were so boring. The computer expert wasn't around, and it seemed like Xu Wen had gone to the library too, pretending to be serious. Who knows if he went to flirt with his own little sister.

Speaking of it, is the work done by this matchmaker really worth it?

Mu Rui guessed right indeed, Xu Wen was indeed "hanging out" somewhere in the library. The library had great facilities, it was the most recently renovated building in the school, and it had air conditioning. Even in the early spring, it wasn't cold to study there. It was a great place for learning.

Xu Wen, a studious student, was flipping through books while leaning over his desk. When Mu Chu entered and saw him, she was quite curious and tapped on his desk, quietly greeting him, "Hi."

Xu Wen raised his head in confusion and was slightly surprised to see her. He whispered, "Why did you come too?"

Mu Chu waved the book in his hand in front of him and said, "Hey, I came to return the book, and I also want to borrow two more. I'll go first, you can take your time reading."

Xu Wen smiled and said, "Hmm." He secretly glanced at the girl and immediately lost interest in flipping through the book.

Mu Chu didn't pay much attention and focused on looking for a book by himself. Xu Wen took a piece of paper and tried to write and draw on the side. However, he couldn't come up with anything, so he just scribbled aimlessly. He collapsed weakly onto the table, feeling strange.

Mu Rui went to that hotel not far away, originally planning to secretly have some fun there, and then wait to see if Cheng Jin would really come. But when he arrived at the bus stop, he was extremely annoyed to see Cheng Jin and the same girl from last time again. Mu Rui snorted and suppressed the extremely unpleasant feeling in his heart.

Murui didn't realize that, subtly and unconsciously, his current state of mind seemed to be more about his own unhappiness rather than defending his ex-girlfriend.

In the hotel, Cheng Jin also carries trays, carrying them from the first floor to the second floor or even higher. When it's the second floor, he just has to run up the stairs, but for higher floors, he takes the elevator. Carrying these trays is quite tiring. After Mu Rui arrived, he would play in the work area here. It's good to have a friend like Guang.

After a while, Cheng Jin was running up and down the floors, sweating profusely.

Mu Rui stayed in the hotel for a while before going out. Feeling bored, he found some other things to do and wandered around outside.

Walking back on the way home, it wasn't too late yet, but because it was March or April, the nights were dark early. He thought it would be better to go to the supermarket and buy a few things. Last time he went, he only bought things for Muchu, and he still hadn't gotten the things he needed for himself.

When everything was sorted out, it was already around ten o'clock. Mu Rui had spent a long time dawdling at the supermarket. He really didn't want to be like this, but today the supermarket had a big discount, and the enthusiasm of the housewives and aunties at home was on the rise. The supermarket was about to burst with people. He went to choose some items, especially the tissue area, which was crazy.

And then there's the long, long queue when it's time to pay the bill, it's really so frustrating.

Mu Rui felt that he was really too foolish. How could he choose a day like this to go shopping?

When Mu Rui returned to the school from outside and passed by the small grove, he suddenly heard a noise coming from inside. Curiosity got the better of him, and he couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

Damn it, I've been waiting for these few weeks, and you're telling me you're broke. Are you asking for trouble?!

"I really don't have any money."

"What?!"

Mu Rui placed the things he bought on the stone outside, and then approached quietly. He saw several figures inside, three tall individuals surrounding a thin and weak-looking young boy, presumably a freshman.

Mu Rui may be a little naughty, but that's only towards people he is familiar with. He is actually very repulsed by truly wicked deeds. He never expected to witness something like this at his own school. Although he didn't take his mother's Taekwondo classes seriously before, he still has a slight understanding of it.

"What are you doing?!"

The people inside turned their heads to the sudden sound and the tall person smiled, "Oh, here comes someone meddling in other people's business."

"What's the matter, kid? Are you looking to play the hero?"

Mu Rui carefully observed them. They didn't look like students from the school. Their hair was dyed in a few streaks of color, and the leader even smoked, resembling troublemakers from outside the campus. Because the university was open, it was inevitable to attract these idle individuals.

"Yeah, I'm just nosy. What's so great about a group of people bullying a student? You all have arms and legs, yet you still extort others?" Mu Rui wasn't afraid of them at all, but he had a strong demeanor.

The leading person walked up to him, patting his shoulder. He was about the same height, but had a more fierce appearance. "Kid, didn't your mother teach you to behave when you're outside? Shouldn't you try to avoid trouble?"

Mu Rui looked at him coldly, moved his hand away from his shoulder, and said, "Let him go."

"Do you want to pay?"

The two of them confronted each other, and the young boy behind them tried to leave, but was blocked and kicked away by the two.

Mu Rui's expression darkened as he pushed aside the person blocking him and moved to help the young boy. The person in the lead grabbed his arm tightly, then swiftly tripped him with a well-aimed foot. Mu Rui deftly avoided the attack, twisted his knee, and sent the person falling to the ground.

The man immediately extended his hand and threw another punch, hitting him hard in the face. Mu Rui let out a painful hiss and quickly grabbed the man's wrist, twisting it forcefully. The two people behind rushed forward, trying to assist their leader, and one of them forcefully kicked Mu Rui's leg.

Cheng Jin happened to be riding his bicycle back when he heard some noise inside. He caught a glimpse of Mu Rui's figure and quickly walked over.

Mu Rui fell to the ground all of a sudden, his hands hurting from the pebble-paved road.

Mu Rui!" Cheng Jin was startled and hurried over to help him up. When the little boy saw another person coming, making it three against three, his courage immediately surged and he hurriedly ran to Mu Rui's side.

The three individuals glanced at each other. The leader sneered and said maliciously, "You can look forward to facing disciplinary actions from the school!" They stood there without leaving, judging from their demeanor, it seemed unlikely they would be allowed to leave.

Indeed, there were people on the small path over there.

Cheng Jin supported him, seeing that his face was swollen from being beaten. Then she looked over at the people by the road, and it seemed like they were from the Student Affairs Office. She said to the young boy, "You take him to the school hospital, and I'll stay here to stand guard."

Mu Rui frowned and glanced at him, wondering why he was being so kind-hearted!

The young boy hesitated, afraid that he would harm this unfamiliar classmate. However, Murui grabbed the boy's arm and whispered, "Let's go."

"But..."

"Let's go, he won't be punished. It's just a minor dispute after all. The school isn't that strict." Mu Rui pretended to sound relaxed, with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. The young boy finally agreed and followed him, occasionally looking back anxiously."
