Mu Chengxi glanced at Wen Xin and followed her gaze, instantly understanding her thoughts.

“Do you want to eat ice cream? I’ll go buy it for you.”

Within the limits of Wen Xin’s physical condition, Mu Chengxi was willing to fulfill any of her wishes. He didn’t believe that someone feeling cold couldn’t eat ice cream, but he also didn’t allow Wen Xin to overindulge.

Holding Wen Xin’s hand, Mu Chengxi led her to the ice cream shop and ordered a serving.

The shop attendant, seeing Mu Chengxi’s extraordinary looks, momentarily mistook him for a celebrity visiting and stood in place dumbfounded for a few seconds before realizing her mistake.

“Um… sorry, I mistook you for someone else!”

“It’s okay. I’ll have a serving of that ice cream,” Mu Chengxi said calmly, not minding the shop attendant’s lingering gaze.

Wen Xin stood by, kicking a pebble absentmindedly. She thought bringing a boyfriend like him out was really attracting too much attention, but she couldn’t keep him hidden at home either.

When Mu Chengxi came out with the ice cream, he saw Wen Xin still looking down, kicking the pebbles by her feet, seeming somewhat upset.

“What’s wrong?” Mu Chengxi walked up to Wen Xin, intending to hand her the ice cream, but Wen Xin didn’t take it.

Wen Xin lifted her head to look at Mu Chengxi, took out a clean mask from her pocket, and put it on him, observing carefully.

“Better now. You look much better with it on.”

Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin possessively, indulgently smiling, and placed the ice cream in her hand, speaking softly, “Next time, I’ll be more mindful and wear the mask properly before going out.”

Seeing Mu Chengxi’s pleased expression, Wen Xin raised her eyebrows and said, “That awareness is good. Don’t attract unnecessary attention outside anymore.”

Wen Xin took a bite of the sweet ice cream, closing her eyes in satisfaction. She hadn’t had ice cream for a month, and the sweet, cold sensation was truly delightful.

Glancing at Wen Xin’s contented expression, Mu Chengxi gently smiled, wrapped his arm around her shoulders from behind, and led her into the alley.

Wen Xin thought it would take some time to reach the restaurant, but to her surprise, they arrived at the lamb hot pot place Mu Chengxi mentioned after only a short walk.

This place wasn’t like the high-rise hotels in the city center; instead, it had a private, cozy feeling, exuding a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Glancing at the courtyard in front of her, Wen Xin was somewhat surprised. She didn’t expect someone like Mu Chengxi, a young master, to come to such a quiet place for a meal.

“Do you come here often?”

“Not really. Only occasionally in the past two years. Previously, the elders liked coming here, so I often came along. Later, some friends who didn’t like crowded places also came here to gather.”

Holding Wen Xin’s slightly cool hand, Mu Chengxi walked into the courtyard. Wen Xin raised her eyes to survey the courtyard, noticing the traditional architecture with green-tiled roofs and red brick walls, which gave it a nostalgic vibe. The corridor lent an air of seclusion and tranquility.

As they conversed, Mu Dong emerged from inside, respectfully greeting Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin.

“Master Xi, Miss Wen. I heard that Miss Wen wanted to eat hot pot today, so Master Xi specially asked me to reserve this lamb hot pot restaurant. It’s the most authentic one in Beijing.”

Seeing Mu Dong’s enthusiastic introduction, Wen Xin smirked playfully, feeling in a good mood. “Did the boss pay you for advertising or something? Why are you so enthusiastic?”

“Of course not. I just wanted to treat Miss Wen to a meal today. Thank you, Miss Wen, for arranging Miss Chu to take care of us.”

When Mu Dong was discharged from the hospital, he happened to overhear that it was Wen Xin who had arranged for the medical team from Continent M to come and treat them. Otherwise, their injuries wouldn’t have healed so quickly. All the medicine they used was provided by the medical team from Continent M.

Seeing Mu Dong’s grateful demeanor, Wen Xin raised her eyebrows. “Alright,

I’ll enjoy the meal today. Don’t be stingy with me.”

Wen Xin didn’t dwell on this matter. They were Mu Chengxi’s people, especially after learning that Mu Dong had almost sacrificed his life to protect Mu Chengxi. Wen Xin was moved.

So she immediately arranged for the medical team from Continent M to check on Liang Luoyu and Mu Dong’s condition. Fortunately, they recovered quickly and would be able to return from Pochinki within a week.

Guided by Mu Dong, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi entered the private room. Apart from Liang Luoyu and Gu Yanzhe, who were sitting in wheelchairs with their arms in casts, there was a bearded man whom Wen Xin didn’t recognize.

As Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi entered the room, everyone stood up, especially Mu Nan, who stood up quite eagerly, causing a stir.

Sitting in the wheelchair, Liang Luoyu looked at Mu Nan with a smile and teased, “Why are you so excited? It’s not like it’s the first time you’ve seen Wen Xiaoxin.”

“It’s actually my first time meeting my other master, Miss Wen. Hello, I’m Mu

Nan.”

Wen Xin looked at the bearded man and nodded slightly, responding calmly,

“Hmm, hello, I’m Wen Xin.”

“Wen Xiaoxin, we rushed back to celebrate for you. Tonight, we want to set up a game for you to celebrate your acceptance into the physics department of Beijing University. Where would you like to go for fun?”

“I have some things to do in the afternoon, so you don’t need to celebrate for me. You better celebrate your escape from death!”

Wen Xin glanced at Liang Luoyu’s injuries, narrowing her eyes slightly with a faint smile. She wasn’t very interested in their gathering and didn’t feel the need to celebrate getting into Beijing University.

Wen Xin’s words extinguished Liang Luoyu’s enthusiasm. He looked at Wen Xin with a bitter expression, pondered for a moment, and continued, “Then let’s celebrate my escape from death. Tonight, I’ll set up a game, and you and Master Xi can join us, okay?”

By the end of Liang Luoyu’s words, there was a hint of pleading in his tone. He had been in the hospital for a week and was eager to have some fun after finally getting out.

“Okay, let me finish my business first, then I’ll find you.”

With that, Wen Xin turned to the person sitting across from her, Gu Yanzhe. “Is Gu Xiang coming back today? Let’s invite her to join us for dinner. After lunch, she can go directly to Tianye Technology Company.”

“Sure, I’ll give Gu Xiang a call.” Gu Yanzhe stood up with his phone and left the room.

Although he didn’t know the relationship between Wen Xin and Gu Xiang, Gu Xiang was able to further her studies because of Wen Xin. Since she asked him to contact Gu Xiang, he naturally wouldn’t refuse..
