"You're taking me?" Gu Muxue asked, blinking her wide eyes.
'Registration for the new semester is in the next two days,' she thought. 'Instead of hurrying to his own school, Xue Rui is going to escort me personally?'
"Of course. Looking the way you do, you're going to make mouths water all over campus once school starts. I'm afraid someone might try to steal you away from me," Xue Rui said with a completely earnest expression.
Qiu Mengze, who was in on Xue Rui's actual plans, silently cursed. 'This bastard is such a goddamn phony. Isn't it just because he's going to school with Lin Ruoxi tomorrow?'
However, he then noticed Gu Muxue blush the moment Xue Rui spoke. 'Why didn't I go with Qin Tong?' he thought. 'Sometimes this bastard's methods actually work pretty well.'
Gu Muxue smiled. "Is that the only reason?"
'Earlier, when they were all talking with her parents, Xue Rui had been going on about how she needed to cultivate her independence.'
