Chapter 2130

As the two walked through the campus with the groceries, they definitely attracted a lot of attention.

Some classmates had seen Mu picking up Baili Xia from the school.

Now, seeing them return as if playing house, their hearts were stirred once again.

Are they planning to have a romantic world in school?

Is this an announcement to the whole school that they are together?

Showing off love in this season is really making people envious!

No one noticed that they were carrying groceries back at two-thirty, meaning they hadn’t had lunch.

Instead, they were more concerned with the gossip.

In front of so many people, Baili Xia felt even more uneasy.

She suddenly regretted inviting classmates to her wedding.

Since deciding that this would be a fake wedding, the fewer people know, the better.

However, she obviously underestimated the power of gossip.

No matter how much she wants to keep a low profile, what use is it?

When the two returned to Mu Xiaoyao’s apartment, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Mu Xiaoyao hadn’t been back for several months, and the apartment was covered with dust.

The bookshelves and desk were all thick with dust.

The cleaning lady hadn’t come either; Brother was originally planning to abandon this apartment, right?

“Brother, you tidy up a bit, I’ll start cooking.”

The meal needs to be cooked first, or who knows when there will be something to eat.

Without waiting for Mu Xiaoyao to respond, Baili Xia took the groceries into the kitchen.

She quickly tidied up the kitchen and began washing and preparing the food.

When she had all the ingredients ready and was about to start stir-frying, she finally had a chance to step out and take a look.

As soon as she reached the kitchen door, she was completely shocked.

The whole room was filled with dust hanging in the air.

It was like the smog in the capital, with visibility reduced to just a few meters.

“Brother.” Baili Xia called out.

“Hmm?” A voice responded from a corner of the room.

“Come over quickly.”

After a few seconds, Baili Xia watched as a shadow emerged from the dust.

Without thinking, she quickly pulled Mu Xiaoyao into the kitchen.

Behind them, she shut the kitchen door tightly.

What was once carefree and flowing hair was now covered in a thick layer of dust.

Her eyelashes, nose, and face were all gray.

Looking at him, Baili Xia felt like crying and laughing at the same time; this man really shouldn’t be left alone to do any chores.

Every single time, it turns into chaos.

She remembered how during New Year at Sihai Residence’s kitchen, a number of bowls were broken.

With that thought, Baili Xia felt a sense of relief.

Thank goodness she didn’t let him wash the dishes earlier, or they wouldn’t have known how to eat lunch.

Mu Xiaoyao evidently realized his handiwork wasn’t great; he raised a hand and lightly brushed his hair.

Watching the dust falling down, he felt a bit embarrassed at that moment.

“There’s just too much dust in the room.”

“Alright, alright, just stand here obediently and watch me cook.”

“I better do the dishes.”

“Definitely not.”

The two of them fussed around until it was almost four o’clock before finally hiding in the kitchen to eat.

Afterward, looking at the dust that had settled down again, Baili Xia reluctantly cleaned up the entire room once more.

…

When the two returned to Mu Mansion, it was already dark.

As soon as they dropped their backpacks in the hall, Baili Xia headed out toward the courtyard gate.

“Brother, I’m going out for a bit.”

Mu Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow: “Where to?”
