They booked a small private room, and Shuishui flipped through the menu.
Mu Ziyu was also opening and browsing through the menu with his slender fingers. They ordered a few of the restaurant's specialty dishes. Shuishui drank a cup of tea and thought about how she and Mu Ziyu had recently spent time together. Although they had met several times, they were still not familiar with each other.
At the restaurant, Shuishui felt that a table of people outside had been looking at Mu Ziyu. She did not know if it was an illusion, but she ignored it as it did not have much to do with her. Moreover, Mu Ziyu did not seem bothered by it.
Shuishui ate her snacks and looked around. The private room was actually separated by glass and was decorated with crystal curtains. It made for a good ambiance. Shuishui saw that someone had come to the door, left, and then went back again. What was it for?
However, when she remembered that people outside were looking in earlier, Shuishui asked, "Is there someone looking for you?"
"It's a classmate. Our relationship is average. I'm here to accompany you today." Mu Ziyu faintly smiled and then filled Shuishui's cup with tea.
Shuishui looked towards the door because the person had walked to the door and knocked on it.
Knock, knock, knock.
The door was pushed open and a young woman walked in. She smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you. Ziyu, you didn't come today, so we changed our location. I didn't expect such a coincidence."
Shuishui looked at the girl. She was tall and very pure. Her big eyes had a trace of pear blossom and there were two blobs of blush on both sides of her cheeks. The girl then clenched her hands tightly and looked directly at Mu Ziyu. Her eyes were filled with love. Only a fool would not be able to tell that she liked Mu Ziyu.
The young woman directly ignored the existence of Shuishui.
Mu Ziyu was gently smiling, but Shuishui felt that Mu Ziyu did not have any feelings for the woman. This was because he react to her arrival. Although he was smiling, his eyes were cold.
"I have an appointment today, so I can't go with you. I'm sorry." Mu Ziyu purposefully pretended to look troubled. After all, he did not really like to be with their group. Although the young woman was a good person, he did not like her. Of course, he did not want to give her false hope. He had already made it very clear, but she did not understand.
"They all said that you have a girlfriend now. Could it be her?" The young woman finally looked at Shuishui.
For her, the girl looked to be, at most, fifteen years old. 'It cannot be. They must be related. How could he date such a young child?'
Mu Ziyu immediately smiled and said, "This is my personal affair and a private matter. There is no need for everyone to know."
He did not deny nor confirm it. In any case, what the other party thought was her business. Shuishui could not help but curse the young woman in her heart. What Mu Ziyu said—was it just to let that pretty young woman misunderstand that she had a relationship with Mu Ziyu? Although Shuishui did not have any influence in how their conversation went, she felt a little helpless as the young woman stared at her.
The young woman's breathing became heavier. "Do I really have no chance? She's still so young. How can she be with you? Also, does she know what it means to be in a relationship?"
Shuishui looked as the woman's slender finger pointed at her and said such words. So what if she was young? Nowadays, all primary school students were in a relationship. She was already a high school student, and yet people said that she didn't know anything. She smiled coldly and said, "Young Miss, do you mean that high school students don't know anything? I'm very curious. You must have been so pure and innocent in high school."
When Shuishui responded, the delicate young woman was a little embarrassed. She had dated many people in high school, and many of them were five or six years older than her. Many people knew about it.
Because the people she had dated before had talked about her relationship with them, she could only slowly clear her name. In the past six months, her efforts slowly paid off. People no longer talked about her past, and she had many suitors. However, she liked Mu Ziyu the most. He was handsome and gentle, and from the moment she had laid eyes on him, she had fallen in love with him and could not extricate herself from her feelings for him.
She had met Mu Ziyu, who was about to graduate, through many channels.
"You . . . Sister only saw that you were young, but I didn't have any other intentions." The pretty girl maintained her gentleness and cuteness.
Mu Ziyu was also a little surprised. He did not expect Shuishui to help him so much. With Shuishui's intelligence, she should know that he did not want to be entangled with the woman.
Mu Ziyu looked at Shuishui with admiration, but she directly ignored it. She was only slightly unhappy when she saw the woman pointing at her and heard what she said. But Shuishui only responded because of how the girl made her feel and not because she liked Mu Ziyu.
However, because of what Shuishui said, the delicate young woman thought that Shuishui was indirectly admitting that she was dating Mu Ziyu. Her heart suffered a huge blow.
