Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 949 - 16: A Murder Scene of Genuine Affection
Am I, someone who hasn’t even graduated middle school, supposed to write a thesis?
After leaving the theater, Wang Yunxiao was completely confused.
"This advanced class might be a bit... challenging for me."
Once in the car, Wang Yunxiao quietly complained to Li Mumu.
"It’s not so bad. I actually think you don’t really need to attend his class."
Li Mumu wasn’t too interested in the advanced class either.
Xiao Tingyun did seem quite impressive, but sorry, I’ve got too many thighs to hug to care.
Wang Yunxiao is the same, aren’t you training to be a garrison soldier? What’s the point of listening to a cultured person’s lecture?
Can you really mingle with them?
It’s only because I, the eldest miss, am kind-hearted that I can appreciate you. You don’t need to work too hard, just hold on to your sister’s leg in the future.
"Let’s get you home first..."
"Didn’t you say you wanted to get the gift from school?"
"Oh right!"
Wang Yunxiao’s mind was stuck, nearly forgetting about it.
The moment the car just moved a couple of meters, there was a sudden "pop" sound, and the front tire exploded.
Wang Yunxiao got out to check and didn’t know who was so mean to throw a board with nails in front.
"What’s wrong?"
"Nothing, the tire’s blown. There’s a spare in the back, I’ll go change it."
Wang Yunxiao didn’t think much of it, but Li Mumu frowned and looked out to the front of the car.
How could there be nails on the street for no reason?
At that moment, in the distance by the street, Mu Tiansheng was sitting in his car, thoroughly enjoying the scene.
"Finally they came out; what kind of movie takes those two so long to watch? Made me wait so long... And you actually know how to change a tire? No wonder you’re from a poor background. Liuzi, drive the car over!"
The driver glanced ahead and whispered, "Seventh Young Master, going over now, isn’t that a bit too deliberate?"
"What the hell do you know? Wait a bit longer and he’ll have the tire changed! Drive over now!"
The driver helplessly pressed the accelerator, and then there was a muffled "bang" sound from under, even the car body jolted.
"What’s going on?"
"Seems like... seems like the axle’s broken?"
"Does it even make sense for an axle to break? Is that something that breaks just like that? Do you really think I’m clueless?"
Mu Tiansheng fumed, "Get out and have a look!"
The driver quickly reached for the door handle but was horrified to find it wouldn’t open.
"Sev... Seventh Young Master, this car..."
"Can’t you understand human language? I told you to get out..."
Mu Tiansheng was about to start cursing when he suddenly noticed how eerily quiet it was inside the car.
No sound from the engine.
The car had completely shut down.
And the door wouldn’t budge either.
Wang Yunxiao replaced the spare tire at lightning speed—these days, the simplest problem with a car is likely related to the tires. If something else goes wrong, it’s not something that can be fixed quickly.
He heard some strange noise coming from afar, glanced reflexively, but couldn’t make anything out in the dark.
Returning to the car, he saw Li Mumu with both hands tucked in her sleeves.
"It’s a bit chilly tonight, isn’t it?"
"Yeah, it’s quite cold, which is why I should get you home early, so you don’t catch a cold out here."
"So you really don’t want to spend some time with me?"
"I do! How could I not want to?"
Wang Yunxiao’s eyes brightened: "Why don’t we just not go back tonight then?"
Li Mumu squinted her eyes, staring at him.
"Didn’t expect you to be this kind of person."
"I’m just a genuinely honest person."
"Honest? I don’t see it."
"You have to look closely."
"Can’t see it."
"I’m wearing too thick today."
"So, is the clothing in the way?"
If they continued this topic, it would become endless, so Wang Yunxiao wisely shut his mouth.
Driving to the school, just as Wang Yunxiao was about to get out, Li Mumu called him back: "Don’t show me it immediately, once you drop me home, I’ll also get you the gift I prepared. We can open them together."
Is it necessary to make such a ceremony out of it? It’s not like we’re exchanging wedding rings!
But when the Eldest Miss Li makes a request, what can you do but appease her?
Back at the dormitory, Wang Yunxiao had already prepared a watch for Li Mumu earlier in the day, packed it up, and was about to leave when Matuan quietly asked: "Big brother, aren’t you coming back tonight?"
"What are you thinking? Just dropping Li Mumu home, I’ll be back soon."
"It’s so late, why are you even going home! If you ask me, just spend the night at a hotel with sister-in-law!"
"Get lost! Mind your own business!"
Leaving the school, at the car door, Wang Yunxiao slipped his hand into his pocket, gripping the watch, and suddenly froze.
He realized he overlooked one issue.
This watch was stolen from the Shen Family.
It’s one thing if it was simply stolen, but Shen Qingxi and Li Mumu know each other.
Eldest Miss Shen probably wouldn’t remember this watch, right? She’s so wealthy...
What a mess, I shouldn’t have bragged about preparing gifts in front of Li Mumu, or should have swapped it for something else earlier.
On the way to Li Mumu’s house, Wang Yunxiao was gripping the steering wheel, feeling as on edge as sitting on pins and needles.
Upon reaching downstairs, Li Mumu said to wait here and then dashed up quickly.
Wang Yunxiao sat in the car, without the warm air from the AC, yet a fine layer of sweat covered his forehead.
Before he could think of another idea, Li Mumu came running down quickly and hopped into the car, grinning and handed Wang Yunxiao an exquisite little box.
"Where’s my gift?"
"Why don’t we do it another day..."
"Stop with the nonsense! Take it out!"
Wang Yunxiao had no choice but to brace himself and hand over the watch.
Then opened the box in his hand and found a watch inside as well.
A men’s watch, which seemed somewhat familiar.
The two sat in the car, simultaneously falling silent.
Sometimes, having a good memory isn’t necessarily a blessing.
"This watch... is the one we saw on the street that day, then bought by Tang Moli, right?"
Li Mumu quietly asked.
"Yes."
"Later the Shen Family held a charity auction, and Tang Moli donated this watch."
"Yes."
"Did you really attend that auction?"
"Yes."
"Then why didn’t I see you there?"
Wang Yunxiao picked up the watch in his hand, and said to Li Mumu: "If I’m not mistaken, this watch was previously worn by a man."
"Huh?"
"I’ve seen that man twice, the first time he was a doorman at the auction."
"Huh?"
"The second time was at the family banquet at King Mu’s Mansion, where he attended as your boyfriend, right?"
"Huh?"
Sweat also began to form on Li Mumu’s forehead.
"How do you remember so clearly?"
"Because his wrists were thin, and having this men’s watch didn’t match well, it should normally have a few links removed, so it stuck in my mind."
"Oh... Your memory is quite good then."
Li Mumu took a deep breath, sat up straight, trying to keep her gaze from wandering.
"How about this... I won’t question the origin of your watch, and you don’t question if my watch was worn by another man, and we’ll consider it all resolved, okay?"
"Okay."
Wang Yunxiao nodded vigorously: "Then it’s settled, no one is allowed to bring up this matter again."
"Okay!"
"But on the other hand, that night, that guy drove to crash into me..."
"So it was you that got hit!"
Li Mumu suddenly realized: "You were in disguise at the time! Assuming someone else’s identity! Wang Yunxiao, do you know you almost got me killed back then!"
"Are you talking about that Red-Clothed Woman Ghost whose head I chopped off and grew back again? I haven’t even mentioned that White Hair weasel that took a bite out of me..."
"You’re the weasel! Your whole family are weasels!"
