Lu Xue originally didn't want to attend this party, but under Mu Ziyue's persistent persuasion, she reluctantly showed up.
Although this party was ostensibly held for her and Mu Yuze, in fact, it had little to do with the two of them.
Mu Ziyue's friends were always young and lively. They quickly huddled together and found new topics, making a lot of noise.
One moment they wanted to play board games, and the next moment they wanted to play video games together. In the blink of an eye, it seemed to have become just an ordinary party for Mu Ziyue, and Lu Xue was just brought along and given a forced title.
During the party, everyone played Truth or Dare. Lu Xue and Mu Yuze were forced to join the game.
When the spinner landed on someone, that person had to accept the game challenge and choose between truth or dare.
Mu Ziyue secretly hoped that the spinner would land on Lu Xue or her elder brother. However, after several rounds of the game, the spinner seemed to deliberately avoid these two people and landed on other irrelevant people present.
Everyone was making a ruckus, and the party was in full swing. But this excitement seemed to have nothing to do with Mu Yuze and Lu Xue.
The two of them sat in a relatively remote position in the circle, as if there was an invisible barrier automatically separating them from the others.
The atmosphere on both sides was completely different. On this side, the boys and girls were pointing at a young couple unlucky enough to be selected by the spinner and cheering loudly.
"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"
Outside the barrier, Lu Xue was playing with her phone while Mu Yuze was admiring a newly - planted succulent on the windowsill.
The two of them looked calm and composed, completely unaffected by the enthusiastic game atmosphere.
Mu Ziyue was itching with hatred in her heart. She quickly urged the people on the scene to end the current game and start the next round.
The next round of the game started soon. Mu Ziyue stared at the pointer of the spinner with bright eyes, hoping that it would land on Lu Xue or Mu Yuze soon.
But to everyone's disappointment, this time the spinner landed on Ding Muyun.
Ding Muyun, who was selected, blushed a little. She stood up and chose truth between truth or dare.
Everyone started shouting questions in a ruckus. There were too many questions to reach a consensus. Finally, one person shouted at the top of their lungs, overpowering the noise.
"Ding Muyun, tell us what type of guy you like!"
Ding Muyun blushed a little more. She stood there under everyone's gaze for a long time before softly saying,
"The type of guy I like should be like Young Master Mu Yuze!"
Everyone immediately started cheering and their eyes all fell on Mu Yuze. Ding Muyun's words were almost like a direct confession to Mu Yuze on the spot.
But although everyone was enthusiastic, Mu Yuze remained aloof. He sat at the farthest end, constantly looking at the succulent plant by the window, and there was hardly any change in his expression.
Everyone's high - spirited enthusiasm faded away when they saw Mu Yuze's cold look.
This time, without Mu Ziyue's further organization, everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding and started the next game in unison.
Ding Muyun felt embarrassed when she saw Mu Yuze's cold attitude. She silently sat back in her seat.
In the next few rounds of the game, there was still a bit of embarrassment on her face.
After playing the game for several rounds, everyone's interest waned, and they gradually dispersed quietly.
Lu Xue had an appointment with Han Xiaolv that evening. So after saying goodbye to Mu Ziyue, she left the party and the villa.
Ding Muyun was holding a glass of red wine, and her eyes were always on Mu Yuze.
After Lu Xue left, Mu Yuze withdrew from the crowd and walked to the edge. He leaned on a single - person sofa alone, flipping through a magazine.
Ding Muyun walked over, put a glass of wine beside Mu Yuze, and naturally sat on the sofa next to him.
Mu Yuze just glanced at her indifferently and then lowered his head again, showing no expression on his face.
Ding Muyun sat beside Mu Yuze, trying to strike up a conversation to get closer to him.
"I heard that Lu Xue is going to move out in a few days. Has she found a place to live?"
Mu Yuze showed no expression at all. He just turned to the next page of the magazine, clearly not wanting to answer this question.
Ding Muyun felt a bit embarrassed sitting beside Mu Yuze, but she was not willing to leave just like that.
She hadn't had the chance to get along with Mu Yuze for a long time. Especially these days when she just learned that he had left the company's affairs for Lu Xue and lived in the countryside for so long, Ding Muyun was even more jealous.
She sat beside Mu Yuze, drinking glass after glass of wine. After a few glasses, she pretended to be drunk and slumped back on the sofa.
By this time, most of the people at the party had left, and Mu Ziyue was busy taking care of some of her friends outside.
Taking advantage of the dim light and the fact that they were in a remote corner where no one noticed, Ding Muyun casually leaned on Mu Yuze's shoulder.
Mu Yuze looked up instantly, avoiding her as if she were a snake. He almost immediately dodged half of his body away.
