It was obvious from Lu Xue's expression that she didn't want to add Ding Muyun as a friend. But Ding Muyun clung to her stubbornly, wearing a smiling face as if she must add Lu Xue as a friend.
Finally, Lu Xue spoke reluctantly.
"Fine. I'll go upstairs to get my phone later."
Ding Muyun nodded quickly.
"Okay, okay. I'll go up with you."
She was afraid that Lu Xue would go back on her word, so she followed Lu Xue all the way up to the second floor. But after Lu Xue turned into her room, she slammed the door shut, not letting Ding Muyun in.
Ding Muyun almost got her nose hit. She stood awkwardly in the corridor outside.
To be honest, she had never met a girl with such low emotional intelligence. When she got along with other girls, even if they didn't really like each other deep down, they could still flatter each other on the surface and act like close plastic sisters.
Ding Muyun was already used to playing her role properly with different fake smiles, until she met Lu Xue...
Lu Xue never seemed to hide her true feelings in front of Ding Muyun. She even showed her coldness so obviously. Ding Muyun even wondered how Lu Xue, with such a strange temper, could survive in this society safely.
After Lu Xue entered the room, she rummaged through everything, looking for her phone everywhere.
She opened several drawers, and all she found were feature phones. Finally, at the very end, she found a smartphone.
She patted the smartphone, pressed and held the power button for three seconds to turn it on, but found that the battery was low. It took her quite a while to find the charging cable and barely charged the smartphone for a while.
Ding Muyun waited outside alone. She had no idea what Lu Xue had been doing inside the room for so long.
Could it be that Lu Xue didn't want to add her as a friend and was registering a new account inside the room?
Just when she was getting impatient, Lu Xue opened the door and stood there expressionlessly. She held out her smartphone.
"Add me."
Ding Muyun put on a fake smile and gently took Lu Xue's phone. She scanned her own QR code.
The two successfully added each other on their social accounts. Ding Muyun finally achieved her goal, and her fake smile couldn't hold up anymore.
After simply thanking Lu Xue, she turned around and left.
For the next few days, they didn't run into each other at home.
Ding Muyun never took the initiative to contact Lu Xue on the social app, as if adding her as a friend that day was really just an impulsive and temporary act.
One day, Lu Xue was tidying up her things in her room when her phone suddenly beeped twice.
She rummaged through several phones before finally finding the one that was vibrating.
When she opened it, she saw that Ding Muyun had sent her a video call request.
Lu Xue frowned. Actually, she didn't want to pay much attention, but out of courtesy, she still clicked to accept the video call request.
On the other side of the screen appeared Ding Muyun's delicate oval face. Ding Muyun smiled and said to Lu Xue,
"Lu Xue, I'm sorry. I just remembered that I left something in Mu Ziyue's room. I've been so forgetful these days. I forgot to take it when I left that day. Could you help me get it and send it to me?"
Lu Xue didn't expect Ding Muyun to suddenly make such a request. Especially since they didn't have any interaction at all, it seemed a bit too presumptuous to suddenly call and ask for help.
Lu Xue blurted out,
"Why don't you ask Aunt Chen to do this?"
Ding Muyun on the other side was stunned for a moment. Indeed, Aunt Chen was the servant in this family and should obey the master's orders.
Moreover, compared with the cold relationship between her and Lu Xue, Ding Muyun obviously had a better relationship with Aunt Chen.
The smile on Ding Muyun's face was about to fade, but finally she said gently,
"I'm sorry. I know this is a bit presumptuous, but this item is quite small. Aunt Chen is old and her eyesight is not good. Maybe it's not easy for her to find it. That's why I want to ask you for help."
As Ding Muyun spoke, her soft eyes were filled with a pleading look.
Finally, Lu Xue agreed and replied readily,
"Fine. Tell me what it is and where it is. I'll go and look for it for you."
Ding Muyun immediately said,
"It's in Mu Ziyue's room. As soon as you walk in, you'll see a black box. I should have left my thing in that black box."
Lu Xue nodded. After hanging up the video call, she went to the next room to get the thing for Ding Muyun.
She walked to Mu Ziyue's door and knocked. She found that the door was ajar.
With her knocking, the door soon opened wide.
Lu Xue stared at the empty room and was a bit confused for a moment.
Then she remembered that she should ask Ding Muyun why she didn't just call Mu Ziyue and ask Mu Ziyue to go back to her own room to get the thing.
No matter how you thought about it, it seemed very strange that Ding Muyun suddenly asked someone she had no acquaintance with for help.
However, Lu Xue's thinking was always a bit slow, and she didn't want to think too deeply about such problems.
She walked straight into the room and saw a black box standing in the middle of the room at first sight.
