Chapter 667 The Child Bride's Delusional Dreams (5)
When Lu Lin and Shang Henian returned from the backyard, they saw Mu Zhou walking over as well.
She approached Shang Henian, but was not intimidated by the boy's aggressive demeanor.
She opened her palm and laid it out in front of him:
"Give."
There was a band-aid in my palm.
Shang Henian had a purplish-blue bruise on his cheek, with faint traces of blood seeping out.
Shang Henian's face froze instantly, then he said fiercely:
"Who cares?"
Before he could finish speaking, he snatched the band-aid away rather roughly.
He seemed afraid someone would try to take it from him.
Lu Lin, who was about to return to his private room, narrowed his eyes upon seeing this, his expression subtle.
The young girl is indeed quite capable.
After appeasing that one, he didn't forget about this one either.
He's adept at handling all aspects and maintaining a balance.
It seems that this silly boy, Shang Henian, is about to fall into a trap.
The little girl looked up at Shang Henian, her voice soft and gentle as she gave him a pep talk:
"Brother Henian, please don't fight anymore, okay?"
"Leave me alone?!"
Although Shang Henian's voice was still not very friendly, the hostility in his eyes had disappeared.
Mu Zhou bit her lip and lowered her voice:
"I just don't want you to get hurt."
Shang Henian suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, followed by a tingling, numb sensation.
He held his breath, trying to calm the strange feeling, and after a moment he muttered a few curses, which were somewhat inaudible.
Lu Lin watched the show, a hint of mockery in his eyes, and turned to leave.
Mu Zhou walked up to him and said sincerely:
"Uncle, thank you so much this time. I'll treat you to a meal another day."
If Lu Lin hadn't witnessed firsthand how easily she manipulated the two boys, playing them like puppets, he probably would have thought the girl was simply expressing her gratitude.
His dark eyes gazed at the petite girl who only reached his chest, a dark undercurrent rising in his eyes.
"Don't waste your time on me."
His voice was indifferent and cold. After saying this ambiguous sentence, he went into the private room without looking back.
Shang Henian did not notice their conversation.
His mind was completely focused on the band-aid in his hand; even after putting it in his pocket, it still felt incredibly hot.
He vaguely heard his uncle say something, but he didn't quite understand:
"What do you mean, Uncle? What do you mean by wasting time?"
Mu Zhou smiled slightly:
"I don't know, maybe my uncle is busy."
0001 just reminded her that her favorability rating has dropped again, currently only -10%.
This at least shows that she holds a certain place in his heart.
Even a negative image.
It's better than having no trace of anyone else in his heart.

Mu Zhou did not attend Lu Lin's symposium.
There were too many people, so she decided not to join in the fun.
She went to the drama club.
The reason I joined this club was quite dramatic.
It was the beginning of the semester, and she followed Shang Henian around to various clubs. She saw him pick up a promotional poster and fill out the form in the drama club, so she joined the drama club as well.
But in reality, Shang Henian knew she would definitely follow him, so he deliberately misled her and took the drama club's brochure.
In fact, after the original owner filled out the form, he secretly retrieved his own information and joined the rock climbing club.
Shang Henian thought that a girl with such a quiet and reserved personality as the original owner would definitely find it difficult to endure joining a drama club, which requires the release of one's true nature.
They might leave the group in a few days.
Who knew that the original owner gritted her teeth and persevered for the sake of academic credits.
Today, the club had a rehearsal, and since she didn't have any classes, she went to the rehearsal venue early.
Mu Zhou is not the type to compete or fight, and coupled with her introverted and shy nature, she either works behind the scenes or plays a tree or a stone in every performance.
This time, she played a flower, without any lines.
Lu Zhi, the vice president of the drama club, is one of the most prominent figures in the school.
He is handsome, comes from a good family, and became an internet sensation during his high school years because of a photo of him.
Because of her outstanding looks, she was sought after by various talent agencies.
He simply had no interest in the entertainment industry, so he did not sign with any company.
Lu Zhi also has another identity: he is the son of Lu Lin's elder brother, that is, Lu Lin's nephew.
However, Lu Lin now has a special status and his family is focusing on cultivating him, so he basically doesn't mention this uncle to outsiders.
Apart from close family members, no one else knows about it.
Lu Zhi is still the male lead in this performance.
He saw Mu Zhou arrive at the club early and diligently tidy up the stage props, and couldn't help but smile.
The young girl who was adopted by Shang Henian's family was well-known in their circle.
It is also often used to tease Shang Henian.
She was a year younger than them, but started school a year earlier and was in the same grade as them. She would obediently call them "brother" as soon as they met, and she looked easy to bully.
However, they also knew that Grandpa Shang valued this girl highly, so they didn't dare to say anything harsh, but they couldn't help but tease her a few times.
Shang Henian, in particular, is very concerned about his image, and he gets angry every time the topic is brought up, which makes the whole thing even more amusing.
Seeing Mu Zhou now, he couldn't help but make a few teasing remarks:
"The climbing club next door is having a meeting, and Shang Henian is there too. How do you still have the mood to deal with these things?"
To everyone's surprise, the girl who used to blush at the mere mention of Shang Henian was now silent, lowering her head and continuing with her own business.
He was curious.
Are you angry?
I've known her for so long, and I've never seen her angry.
Curious, he went around to see her face, only to find tear tracks at the corners of her eyes.
Her bright red eyes were brimming with tears, as if she had just been crying.
He was immediately flustered.
"What's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"
He subconsciously looked around, thankfully there was no one else, otherwise people would have thought he was bullying Mu Zhou.
Mu Zhou lowered his head, casually wiped away the tears on his face, and said in a muffled voice:
"Brother Lu Zhi, can we please stop mentioning him?"
The "he" here clearly refers to Shang Henian.
Lu Zhi instantly realized that her appearance was inextricably linked to Shang Henian, and immediately became interested in gossip.
How could a child bride get angry with Shang Henian?
The sun really did rise in the west.
He took the potted plant from Mu Zhou and put it down, then pulled her to sit beside him, his arm tucked in.
"Come on, tell me, how did Shang Henian bully you?"
He asked with great interest.
Mu Zhou paused for a moment, but ultimately didn't mention the small inn. He simply said:
“Brother Henian didn’t bully me. I did something wrong. Brother Henian will not like me anymore.”
What kind of mistake could make someone as oblivious as Shang Henian so angry that he would break off all contact?
Is it...
He quickly shook his head again.
No, no.
Mu Zhou, being such an honest and timid girl, definitely wouldn't dare.
Just as he was about to ask, the rehearsal room door was suddenly pushed open.
A boy approached aggressively:
"Lu Zhi, what's wrong with my sister? Why can't you like her?"
Lu Zhi glanced at him irritably, then said:
"Why should I like your sister? Just because your sister is pursuing me, I'm supposed to say yes? I'd have to say yes to way too many girls."
His nonchalant attitude successfully angered the boy.
His face was gloomy and ugly, with a hint of madness in his eyes.
