Mu Mian huddled together with Xu Yuan again for an entire afternoon, alternating between reading comic books and chatting. They were inseparable every day, yet they never ran out of topics.
Gong Heng was truly impressed.
When evening was approaching, Xu Yuan's brother, Xu Nuo, came to pick her up.
Upon entering, he first gave Gong Heng a nod, then noticed Mu Mian and the injury on her leg, pausing briefly in surprise, "What happened?"
Mu Mian beamed a sweet smile, "Brother Xu Nuo, you're here!"
Xu Yuan quickly interjected, "She wasn't paying attention while walking and twisted it, but it's nothing serious now."
Xu Nuo frowned.
"How could you be so careless?"
Mu Mian awkwardly scratched her head.
After scolding her, Xu Nuo pulled out an exquisite box from his pocket and placed it in Mu Mian's palm.
"Tomorrow Yuanzi and I are heading to Lover's Island. I won't be back for your birthday, so I'm giving your gift in advance."
Mu Mian accepted it with a smile.
