Mu Qing recalled where his impression of Lu Zhichen came from. At that time, Lu Zhichen was not the current Ninth Master. He was just a young boy who was two years younger than him.
Even so, he became Little Jiuan’s favorite older brother.
He didn’t expect to see him again after so many years. Although Mu Qing couldn’t pinpoint why he was feeling jealous, he still couldn’t help it.
Lu Zhichen was a scheming, two-faced person.
It seemed that he wanted to get to know Jiuan again, but who knew what he was planning?
Mu Qing pulled Xing Jiuan by the hand toward himself. “Is President Lu here to pick someone up?”
Lu Zhichen glanced at him. “Mm.”
“Then we won’t disturb you any further.” Mu Qing wanted to pull Xing Jiuan away, but Lu Zhichen stopped them.
“21st, how about exchanging contacts?”
Xing Jiuan looked at Mu Qing’s expression and realized that her senior brother’s usual calmness was nowhere to be found. It was just an additional contact, she thought. Was it that bad?
However, Xing Jiuan did not like to randomly add strangers’ contact details. She shook her head and apologized.
“It’s alright, we can exchange contacts some other time.”
Ou Qi wondered if all the information she knew about Lu Zhichen before had been wrong.
No matter how she looked at it, this Ninth Master didn’t seem like the rumors said. Or could it be that he was shallow?
Things seemed a little awkward now. Xing Jiuan felt a little suffocated by this situation. Lu Zhichen seemed to have noticed it and said that they would meet again before walking away.
Mu Qing looked at the confused Xing Jiuan and sighed. Then, he warned her seriously, “This person is very scheming. Don’t associate too much with him.”
“Senior Brother, did we know each other in the past?”
Mu Qing didn’t want to lie to her. “It happened a long time ago.”
Lu Zhichen didn’t exist in Xing Jiuan’s memories. She could tell that Mu Qing didn’t want to talk about it, so she didn’t pursue the matter.
However, did she know Lu Zhichen in the past?
Su Yize arrived in no time. He was carrying a bag and didn’t have many things with him. As soon as he saw her, he greeted her obediently.
He had never seen Mu Qing before, but he could guess that the person beside Xing Jiuan was Mu Qing. Eldest Senior Brother had told him that Mu Qing was inseparable from Xing Jiuan, so he would probably come with her to fetch him.
Mu Qing was easy to recognize. He was the serious one.
Su Yize then turned to Mu Qing. “Hello, Senior Brother Mu Qing.”
Mu Qing nodded indifferently. He was like that to many people. Su Yize had already heard about it from Eldest Senior Brother.
Ou Qi, who was the most enthusiastic, asked, “Little Junior Brother, are you in senior high school? Are you tired from the journey? Let’s get in the car first.”
“I’ll be in my second year when school starts. The journey was fine, so I’m not that tired.”
“There’s food in the car. You can have some later,” Xing Jiuan said.
Of all these people, she was probably the only one Su Yize knew.
“Okay. Thank you, Little Senior Sister.” Su Yize nodded repeatedly.
“Little Junior Brother, you’re so cute.” Ou Qi sighed.
Su Yize was stunned.
Lu Zhichen sat in the driver’s seat and watched Xing Jiuan as she returned to her car.
He had a very deep impression of Xing Jiuan. For more than ten years, he had even kept the red string that the little girl had given him. At that time, he was already ten years old, and Xing Jiuan was only five. It was understandable that she couldn’t remember him.
Xing Jiuan was very cute when she was young. Perhaps it was because she was pampered by many people and was a little spoiled, but she always needed someone to carry her. He and Old Master stayed there for a while and he successfully became the little girl’s favorite.
