Lu Xue carried her suitcase back to her room. As she started to unpack, Mu Yuze had already gone into the bathroom to fill the bathtub with hot water.
Steam gradually filled the bathroom. Mu Yuze poked his head out and said, "You were sweating a lot on the way back. Take another bath."
Aunt Chen happened to be passing by the door with some snacks. This unexpected little episode seemed to make the atmosphere between the two of them more ambiguous than before. Even their eye contact and conversations were different from usual.
This time, Mu Yuze even reached out from behind and grabbed Lu Xue's arm, pulling her up and pushing her towards the bathroom.
Lu Xue pointed at the suitcase behind her and complained, "I haven't even had time to unpack all these things. I have to put them away first!"
Mu Yuze gave a soft chuckle and pushed her into the bathroom, then closed the door.
"I'll help you unpack. You take care of yourself first."
When Aunt Chen went downstairs with the snacks, there was an obvious look of curiosity in her eyes. She walked over to the other aunts and started whispering.
"I think the young master is very different since he came back this time. I wonder if there's any progress between him and Miss Lu?"
The other aunts nodded in agreement. "You're right. We also think that after they came back, they seem more like a young couple. It's completely different from their cold attitude before!"
Aunt Chen was overjoyed. With great effort, she suppressed her curiosity and decided to wait and see how things developed between the two.
That night, Mu Ziyue came back very late. It seemed that she had been drinking outside. Aunt Chen was preparing a hangover soup for her while complaining that a girl shouldn't come back so late.
Mu Ziyue waved her hand and said helplessly, "You don't understand. It was Han Xiaolu who insisted on dragging Ji Jingcheng to drink. But neither of them had the nerve to be alone with each other, so they dragged me along as a third wheel. I reluctantly accompanied them for a whole night. I was so bored! I wanted to go back, but I was afraid of facing my brother and Lu Xue. If I stayed, I had to face Han Xiaolu and Ji Jingcheng! I was such a huge third wheel wherever I went today!"
Aunt Chen looked at Mu Ziyue sympathetically, then leaned in and asked cautiously, "Is there any progress between the young master and Miss Lu? I feel that the two of them seem to..."
Mu Ziyue's eyes lit up. "Aunt Chen, you've noticed too! My brother successfully confessed his love today. I guess they're officially together now!"
"Really? That's so fast! Do you know how they got together?" Aunt Chen asked eagerly.
"I'd like to ask my brother how he confessed, but I probably won't get much useful information from him. I might as well invite Lu Xue to dinner some other day and try to get some information from her."
The next morning, when Mu Ziyue came downstairs, she saw Mu Yuze and Lu Xue sitting at the dining table.
In the past, when they ate at that table, they always sat at the farthest diagonal positions. But today, they were sitting side by side.
Their seats were very close, with their shoulders touching. Mu Yuze lowered his head and cut the sandwich in his bowl into small pieces, then put them into Lu Xue's bowl.
Occasionally, when he turned his head, there was a gentle smile on his lips.
Mu Ziyue felt like she had been fed a mouthful of dog food early in the morning. She didn't know whether she should be happy for the two of them or sad for herself.
That day, Lu Xue was still thinking about her work, so she quickly got busy in her studio.
Although Mu Yuze really wanted to stay at home and accompany her all day, there were still many things to be dealt with in the company. Urged by Yan Hua's phone call, he rushed off.
Before leaving, Mu Yuze was still a little reluctant. He went back to Lu Xue's studio and wanted to knock on the door to say goodbye to her.
But thinking about Lu Xue's usual habit of not liking to be disturbed when she was working, Mu Yuze firmly suppressed his longing.
After hesitating for a while, he went back to the study and found some sticky notes. Then he stuck them on the door of Lu Xue's studio and wrote a few sentences on them.
When Mu Ziyue passed by Lu Xue's studio, she felt like her eyes were about to pop out.
Her brother, who was always so serious and cold, actually had red and green round sticky notes.
Those sticky notes were stuck on the sign of Lu Xue's studio, reminding her to have lunch on time, drink more water, and giving other kinds of nagging daily reminders.
Mu Ziyue stared in disbelief. She couldn't believe that her brother had become such a person when in love.
"This world is just too scary!!"
She looked up and sighed, took a sip of water, and silently walked back to her room.
That day, Mu Yuze finished his work in the company early and ended a meeting ahead of schedule. He checked the time. There were still two hours until the end of work.
Yan Hua didn't know why his boss was so energetic today. He was extremely efficient in everything he did, compressing all the work processes to double speed.
"Do you have any private plans? Otherwise, how could you finish a day's work in just half a day?"
