Chapter 1247

In the car, Baili Xia remained silent the entire time.

Mu Xiaoyao was also just quietly driving.

The scenery by the roadside kept changing, and she quietly watched it.

It was unclear whether she was purely watching the scenery or thinking about something else.

Unknowingly, the car stopped.

Mu Xiaoyao got out of the car first, walked around to Baili Xia’s side, and opened the door for her.

“Come on out, I’ll take you to your classroom.” He reached out his hand.

Yet before getting out of the car, Baili Xia suddenly looked at him seriously and said, “Brother, I want to live on campus until the exams are over.”

“Sure?” Actually, staying at school wasn’t a big deal.

Situations like today would only affect her mood; staying at home might not be any better.

But… “Are you really giving up?”

Mu Xiaoyao regretted these words as soon as he said them.

Though, he never understood what the word ‘regret’ meant.

“Giving up?” Baili Xia looked at him, paused, then smiled slightly: “Whether I give up or not, doesn’t have much meaning for now. I just don’t want…to see the man I like being ruined.”

He just wanted her to leave him, even made her take the initiative to leave.

If measures like that were needed to force her to leave, then she might as well fulfill his wish and be more proactive.

Otherwise, if he had to purposefully hug other women in front of her, wouldn’t that… hurt even more?

“Brother, we are late, let’s go,” she said.

…

So from that day on, Baili Xia lived at the school.

She didn’t stay in the dormitory; that was something Mu Xiaoyao insisted on, so she moved into his apartment.

Mu and a girl were cohabitating, and that girl was none other than the scandal queen Baili Xia.

The news, once it broke out, stirred a sensation for a long time.

But no matter how sensational it initially was, as time passes, everything returns to dust, and the storm quieted down.

Gossip and rumors last only a moment, but one’s own life truly lasts a lifetime.

…

The sunlight fell, adding a hint of warmth to the cold winter day.

The moment Baili Xia walked out of the examination building, she looked radiant.

On the square in front of the building, a group of girls were hiding around discussing animatedly, and upon closer inspection, it was easy to see who they were talking about.

Of course, most of the girls were not discussing but drooling over the tall figure.

This man, wherever he goes, is a calamity, literally to die for.

If everyone knew he liked men, there’s no telling how many girls at this school would collapse.

Would anyone become so desperate that they might even resort to jumping off buildings?

“Brother,” Baili Xia slung her small bag over and walked briskly towards him.

Hearing her voice, Mu Xiaoyao immediately stubbed out his cigarette and threw it into a nearby trash can.

She didn’t like him smoking, and he hadn’t been smoking much recently, but just now he was a bit bored while waiting, so he casually took one from someone else.

When Baili Xia approached him, she couldn’t miss the quickly dispersing smell of tobacco.

But seeing his decent attitude, she didn’t point it out.

“I need to perform the final acupuncture session for Guisu today, can you go back to the apartment and wait for me?”

Brother doesn’t like Guisu, and naturally, she didn’t expect Brother would accompany her to see Guisu.

In case it stirred up any quarrels again, that would be too troublesome.

“I need to go home today,” Mu Xiaoyao said indifferently.

All the final examinations were over.

Today, it was time to go back.

Going home…

these words made Baili Xia feel a bit of inexplicable resistance.

Although, she was actually quite eager to go back and check on some people, some matters.

But she wasn’t sure if it was because she had stayed here for half a month; she had gotten used to it over time.

Suddenly saying it’s time to go back, somehow felt… unsettling.
