Mu Xiangqing did not expect this to happen and was frightened. A hint of surprise appeared in her cold eyes and her lips were slightly opened.

I felt their sincere gratitude in my heart, and the coldness deep in my heart extended out a hint of warmth, gradually expanding to my whole body. It felt like bathing in the warm sunshine in the cold winter, which was very comfortable.

Mu Xiangqing lowered her eyelashes and laughed. She felt like slapping herself in the face. She just thought that such simple joy was difficult to obtain.

The penetration of simple joy can be powerful.

At first, she only thought about giving rewards to one person, Lu Rifeng, but the same would apply to more people.

I didn't expect what I would get.

What you get without any expectations is truly precious.

Lu Rifeng saw that Mu Xiangqing was happy, and a smile appeared on his handsome face, "Since you are so happy, don't let it stop. After school in the afternoon, everyone will gather at Mi Xi Western Restaurant. Chen Chen called to reserve the place."

"Okay, Master Feng."

"Thank you, Mr. Feng, thank you, boss." Everyone cheered in unison.

Sikong Jue calmly looked at the cheering crowd, with the brightest and most carefree smiles on their faces.

It turns out that youth is so simple. He missed it, but now he has experienced it again.

Although Class 11 is far away from other classes, the cheers are loud and contagious.

Mu Xiangqing's reward also spread in Deyuan High School, and many people guessed why Class 11 is so happy now.

Some were envious, some were bitter, and some were disdainful, but none could stop Class 11 from feeling joyful at this moment.

After school at noon, in the fourth cafeteria, as soon as Mu Xiangqing and Lu Rifeng sat down, Cui Ruxuan and Hong Antong came.

Cui Ruxuan said bitterly, "The whole Deyuan has heard your cheers all morning. Are you so happy?"

Lu Rifeng smiled, "Of course, you and An Tong's rewards haven't arrived yet, so just wait."

"I'm not in a hurry, and I'm not here to rush you." Cui Ruxuan stared at Mu Xiangqing, pursed her lips, and asked pretending not to care, "Are you coming to my birthday party on Friday?"

After hearing this, Mu Xiangqing remembered and put down her chopsticks, "Let's talk about it then."

Cui Ruxuan frowned slightly and her voice rose unconsciously, "I'll tell you when the time comes. You must come."

Hua Luo took out a card from his vest pocket and put it in front of Lu Rifeng, "A Feng, you are responsible for bringing her here. This is an invitation letter. If you don't come, you will be responsible for the consequences. An Tong is gone."

Hong Antong stood up and left.

Lu Rifeng raised his hand and waved to them, then laughed, picked up the card, and looked at Mu Xiangqing, "Aqing, you won't watch me being scolded by Ruxuan, right?"

"She is the most dignified and noble model of a lady in Jing City. She will not scold you." Mu Xiangqing curled her lips, "But she will scold me."

Mu Xiangqing just couldn't understand that Cui Ruxuan was very patient with everything, but he was always very impatient towards her.

"That proves that you are very important to her, don't let her down."

Mu Xiangqing's eyes fell on the door of the cafeteria, and Cui Ruxuan and Hong Antong walked out.

It rained today, so Mu Xiangqing did not go to the Garden Corner. He planned to go back to the classroom and saw Sikong Jue standing outside the corridor.

He was not wearing a school uniform. He wore a white shirt on his upper body, light gray straight-leg sweatpants on his lower body, and white sneakers. He put his hands in his pockets and stood up straight, looking at the rainy scene outside.

Although it is cloudy and the light is not good, it does not affect the beauty of the picture at all. It is more of a quiet and beautiful feeling, which makes people just want to admire it quietly.

Maybe Mu Xiangqing looked at her for too long. Sikong Jue noticed it and turned around, "Is something wrong?"

Mu Xiangqing suddenly came to her senses and shook her head slightly to show that she was fine.

Sikong Jue withdrew his gaze and continued to look outside.

Mu Xiangqing suddenly said as she passed Sikong Jue, "Since your family is so powerful, you can control your scores so accurately on the passing line, you are a top student."

Sikong Jue immediately realized that Mu Xiangqing had found out his family background, and he was confident that his information would not be found out. There was only one possibility.

He thought back to Lu Rifeng's inspection in the morning and guessed, "Did Lu Rifeng recognize my uncle?"

"Um."

Mu Xiangqing walked past Sikong Jue and entered the classroom.

Sikong Jue followed him in.

There is no one in the classroom, everyone has gone back to the dormitory to rest.

The two sat back in their seats.

Mu Xiangqing looked out the window, fascinated by the raindrops falling on the windows, trees and leaves.

Sikong Jue also opened the book and read it.

The two of them did not disturb each other and were in perfect harmony.

Suddenly Mu Xiangqing turned to look at the boy who was reading a book with his head slightly lowered, "Sikong Jue, why do you want to go back to Deyuan High School to study?"

After hearing this, Sikong Jue slowly raised his head, turned his head, and looked into a pair of confused eyes.

Confused again?

Sikong Jue was very confused and wanted to know the reason, "I didn't want to go back to Deyuan to study. I was just tricked by my uncle."

"Where did you originally want to study?"

Sikong Jue shook his head, "I didn't want to come back to study. This was an accident."

Mu Xiangqing thought for a while and then asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything. I want to live a peaceful life for a while."

Mu Xiangqing was slightly disappointed by Si Kong Jue's answer. Among the people she knew now, she thought Si Kong Jue treated her the calmest. She thought she could hear different words from him.

He immediately had no intention of asking any more questions and looked away.

But Mu Xiangqing's inquiry suddenly reminded Si Kong Jue of the depression and exhaustion he felt during his busy life in the past, which was slightly similar to what he had just seen Mu Xiangqing.

So he asked, "Do you want to change your current lifestyle, but don't know what kind of life you want?"

Mu Xiangqing's heart tightened and she looked at Sikong Jue again, surprised that he could guess what she was thinking. Was she so obvious?

Sikong Jue looked past Mu Xiangqing and looked out the window, "I used to be very busy and had very tight time for eating and sleeping. That was the life I chose. I don't regret it. Just like now, I don't regret it either.

Even if it’s different from the life I expected.”

"So." Sikong Jue looked back at Mu Xiangqing, "If you can't help but think about how you want to live, then try all kinds of lives."

"Try various lives?" Mu Xiangqing murmured.

"Yes, if you don't try something, how will you know that you really don't like it? If you don't like learning, then force yourself to learn it. Maybe you can get different pleasure from it."

Mu Xiangqing's eyes fell on the books piled aside. She really didn't care about studying. Sometimes she would listen and read more if she heard something she was interested in. Most of the time, she thought it was not important.

Maybe it's because she has had nothing materially lacking since she was a child, and no one has any strict requirements on her in terms of study.

"I think learning is not necessarily for the future, but to discover more about everything we don't know."

Mu Xiangqing looked back at Sikong Jue. The calm eyes under the glasses seemed very bright to her at the moment, as if they were lighting a lamp for her in the fog.

Suddenly, Mu Xiangqing smiled, very lightly, with curved eyebrows and upturned corners of his mouth, like snow lotuses blooming on a snowy peak, so beautiful, "I will try."

Mu Xiangqing looked away and exhaled softly. She felt her whole body feel relaxed.

This smile was heavily imprinted in Sikong Jue's mind, and his heart suddenly throbbed. He also looked away and stared at the book, but he couldn't read a word. His right hand on the table unconsciously pressed hard on the table to control it.

Heartbeat.

The weather in Jing City in October is still difficult to predict. It rained for two consecutive mornings, and Mu Xiangqing could only drive a car to go to school.

On the way, she saw Sikong Jue walking slowly with one hand in his pocket and holding an umbrella.

Contrast with the hurried people around you.

Mu Xiangqing did not stay and returned to school.

As soon as they got off the car, Lu Rifeng came forward with an umbrella to protect Mu Xiangqing from the rain. At the same time, he said angrily, "This weather is really annoying."

"The rain is not bad, at least it's not that muggy." Mu Xiangqing turned back and glanced in the direction of the school gate before leaving.

Lu Rifeng didn't notice, "Ruxuan's birthday party was originally held at a suburban manor, but it was afraid of rain, so it was changed to the Darwell Hotel. Will you go by yourself or should I pick you up tomorrow?"

Mu Xiangqing returned to the classroom and sat down before speaking, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Lu Rifeng asked again, "Are you ready for the gift?"

"It's ready. Even if I don't go, the gift will be delivered." Mu Xiangqing put down her backpack.

"Um."

As soon as Sikong Jue entered the classroom, the bell for morning self-study rang.

While Mu Xiangqing was drinking milk, her eyes fell on the book. She tapped her right hand on the table, and finally picked up the Chinese book and opened it.

Sikong Jue noticed that his calm eyes were filled with smiles.

Lu Rifeng just turned around and wanted to ask Mu Xiangqing something. He was shocked when he saw her reading. He was stunned for a while and then asked in an incredible tone, "Aqing, are you studying?"

"Just take a look." Mu Xiangqing didn't even raise his head.

At this time, someone rushed in, "Fang Hancheng had a quarrel with the people in Class 1 and was taken away by Lao Fan."
