Chapter 760: Chapter 758: A Bit More Sincerity_1

Muxia was an excellent student with integrity, so the teacher never suspected she would lie and let her go without question.

"Thank you, teacher!" Muxia’s heart leaped with joy, and she quickly clutched her stomach and shivered her way out of the classroom, as though she was really in pain.

Tsk!

As for her convincing performance, she had her mother to thank for constantly polishing her acting skills.

She had learned a bit from her.

Once she was far enough away to be out of sight of the teachers and students, Muxia finally stood up straight, her complexion rosy and relaxed, with no sign of the painful stomachache she had feigned earlier.

She scanned the area and quickly made her way to the student bike parking lot.

Even though there was a camera to the north, she had already investigated and knew it was broken, so there was no need to worry about being caught on surveillance while committing the misdeed.

There, Muxia crouched down, sneaking over to Lu Yichuan’s bicycle, then took out a compass with a sharp end hidden in her hand and aimed it at the valve.

"Sorry, brother, don’t worry, your sister will reimburse you for the taxi fare!" After muttering to herself with a guilty conscience, Muxia pursed her lips and stabbed the valve decisively.

Hiss!

The sound of the air escaping ensued.

As the saying goes, a guilty conscience needs no accuser. Even though it was the dead of winter, Muxia’s forehead was covered in a sheen of sweat, and her eyes darted around anxiously, ensuring that no one would suddenly appear.

It was only after she had completely emptied the tire that Muxia’s wildly beating heart began to calm down.

Good, very good!

She hadn’t been discovered by anyone!

Crouched on the ground, Muxia caught her breath before patting her chest to regain her normal heartbeat.

On her way back, Muxia couldn’t help but nearly burst with glee.

After school today, she would be able to go home alone with Jiang Qingchen, she thought with giddy anticipation.

When you’re happy, time flies.

And in the blink of an eye, the school bell rang for dismissal.

Muxia slung her backpack over her shoulder and dashed out the door.

At the bike parking lot, she stood obediently by Lu Yichuan’s side.

He was squatting down, inspecting his deflated bicycle tire.

"Oh, brother, what happened? Why is it flat? Did the tire get punctured by something?" Muxia approached, eyes wide as if she had just noticed his flat tire, and voiced her confusion.

Lu Yichuan glanced at the valve cap and raised an eyebrow. It was clear to him, "It looks like someone let the air out, not a puncture."

Otherwise, why would the valve cap be nearby?

Realizing she was caught, Muxia couldn’t help but feel a flash of guilt. She fiddled with her backpack strap, forcing an indignant tone, "What? That’s so despicable! Someone actually tampered with someone else’s bike tire."

Muxia: Sorry, I can even scold myself when I’m all in.

Lu Yichuan swept a meaningful look over her innocent, pure face and replied nonchalantly, "That is pretty despicable."

Seeing him agree with her made Muxia’s teeth hurt, but with his scrutinizing gaze, she couldn’t show any flaws and had to muster up a smile.

"So what do we do now?" Muxia changed the subject. "Shall we take a taxi or have the family driver pick us up?"

"I’m fine with that," Lu Yichuan nodded, preparing to call for a taxi when he heard the girl say with concern, "But I have a lot of homework to do, and the traffic could take a long time."

Muxia frowned.

The Capital City’s traffic was just too congested.

It could take up to an hour in traffic for what was normally a twenty-minute bike ride.

"What should we do?" Lu Yichuan squinted his eyes, intentionally following her train of thought.

Muxia, waiting precisely for this moment, beamed inside while feigning helplessness, "What if I go with Qingchen on his bike?"

As expected.

He knew her intention all along.

With a smirk, he agreed, "Sure, why not? Isn’t he like a half-brother to you too?"

He was curious to see what their relationship was really like.

"Cough cough..." Mentioning this made Muxia embarrassed.

Half-brother, my foot!

With a forced smile, Muxia brushed off his remark, changing the subject, "Alright then, brother, I’m off with Qingchen."

With that said, she hurriedly scooted to Jiang Qingchen’s side as if escaping a rapidly approaching flood.

"Qingchen! Quick! Let’s go!" Once on the bike, Muxia, panting, eagerly urged him on, as if afraid that Lu Yichuan might change his mind.

Jiang Qingchen pedaled away at lightning speed.

Once they were out of the school gate and away from her brother, Muxia finally exhaled and wrapped her arms around the boy’s waist, nestling her head against his back.

"This is so much better..." the girl sighed contentedly, comfortably lazy, like a well-fed little cat.

Jiang Qingchen’s handsome face was softened with a tender smile as he glanced down at the small hands around his waist and chuckled softly. "You’re the one who deflated Lu Yichuan’s bike tires, aren’t you?"

Muxia’s eyes opened wide in surprise, sticking out her tongue, "How did you know?"

"Just guessed," replied Jiang Qingchen.

Everything just seemed too coincidental not to think so.

Muxia grinned, hugging him even tighter, "Well, you guessed right."

"Tell me, where do you want to go? I’ll accompany you," Jiang Qingchen offered as he cycled, his face alight with a gentle smile.

Muxia had her answer ready, "I want to drink bubble tea! My deskmate told me there’s a shop with a half-price deal on the second cup!"

As the saying goes, only fools miss out on a good deal!

She had to check it out!

"Then let’s go there!" Jiang Qingchen had no objections.

The bubble tea shop was not far from the school, and within five minutes, Jiang Qingchen had cycled them there.

After parking the bike, Jiang Qingchen and Muxia entered the shop side by side, enjoying the bubble tea together.
