She looked at Pei Jinxi with flickering eyes, her brows and eyes curved in a smile, "You can take Jinxi with you if you want..." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Then she added, "However, Jinxi has a special identity, and it wouldn’t be good for her to go out, just in case it gets out."

In Gu Xiaoyu’s mind, if Pei Jinxi were just playing around with Mu Qianli, then she would definitely not agree.

Mu Qianli said, "Is that so? If the school notifies me, I’ll consider it."

As she spoke indifferently, Pei Jinxi on the side was digging into the porridge in front of her, not speaking.

Gu Xiaoyu responded, "Is that so? I’m really looking forward to seeing you at school. Won’t you go home, Jinxi? I’m ready to head back. Do you want me to take you home with me?"

"Sure."

Pei Jinxi stood up and said, "Let’s go, Sister Qianli."

"Ah?"

"It’s so late, come sleep over at my place."

...

Gu Xiaoyu’s face twitched again.

Mu Qianli’s face flushed slightly.

There were people watching, and now he was talking about sleeping over at his place...

Her hands suddenly didn’t know where to rest, she wiped them and, looking down, searching for something that wasn’t there, murmured, "Okay... okay then."

Gu Xiaoyu walked out to see Mu Qianli getting into Pei Jinxi’s nanny car, then clenched her teeth in thought behind them.

Had Mu Qianli and he progressed to this stage... Were they truly, completely together now?

Forget it, at Pei Jinxi’s age, he’s bound to be impulsive. His feelings for Mu Qianli couldn’t possibly be true love; maybe he just wanted to vent some physical needs.

Mu Qianli was just a tool, just...

In the car, Mu Qianli once again entered Pei Jinxi’s home under Xiao Peng’s peculiar gaze.

Soon, the variety show that Pei Jinxi and Zhou Mubai participated in also broadcast its second episode.

This time, Pei Jinxi became a hot search topic again for showcasing his soccer skills, wearing a soccer uniform in the program.

Afterwards, having seen Pei Jinxi’s performance in the play "Peaceful", the great director Cui Mu took notice of him and invited him to participate in a new movie directed by him.

The movie’s details were still under wraps, but since Cui Mu was the only director in the country to have been nominated for the Golden Globes and the Oscars, the fans were overjoyed at the news that Pei Jinxi would collaborate with Cui Mu.

That evening, Fang Zongli said to Mu Qianli, "I didn’t see it coming; Pei Jinxi’s future really is boundless. So young, yet caught Director Mu’s eye. If he happens to get an Oscar nomination, he’s practically sprinting towards becoming a Best Actor."

Mu Qianli sighed, "Yes." She thought for a moment and said, "But Pei Jinxi really deserves it."

"Yes, yes, I know your boyfriend is great."

"You... I didn’t say that..." Mu Qianli hummed and then fell into contemplation, "Who knows what the future will hold."

"Hey, who cares about the future? As it is now, you’ve hit the jackpot! He’s an idol, and you’ve slept with an idol — jackpot. If he becomes a Best Actor, then you’ve slept with a Best Actor — jackpot!"

"That makes sense... Fang Zongli, you really are a logical genius!"

"That I am~"

"Come on, let me take you out to eat."

"No, I need to get to bed early tonight."

"Why?"

"Ah, don’t even mention it." Fang Zongli became despondent at the thought. "Didn’t I join that social organization, the Youth Committee? That group is really a trap; they enrolled us all in a safety escape training that lasts a whole week. I’m going insane."

"Pfft, it’s your own fault for joining."

"I joined to expand my network, and having one more identity gives more security, you know?"

Mu Qianli suddenly became very eager to see—this young lady, who rarely exerts herself, was about to enter a training camp for an entire week. She was going to go crazy.
