Chapter 274: Chapter 274 Building Good Relationships (2)_1

After hearing Murong Wanyu’s invitation, Situ Xin thought for a moment before saying, "Sure, I’ve never been to a friend’s house before." Situ Xin happily accepted Murong Wanyu’s invitation.

"Ah, Xiao Xin, you, you agreed?" Murong Wanyu was prepared for Situ Xin to refuse, but she didn’t expect Situ Xin to agree so readily. She was stunned for quite a while.

"Yeah, I agreed. I’ll talk to my brother first before I go," Situ Xin said to the dazed Murong Wanyu, finding her reaction quite amusing, which instantly lifted her spirits.

Situ Jin and the others heard the conversation between Situ Xin and Murong Wanyu. Without waiting for Situ Xin to speak, Situ Jin said, "Okay, I’ve heard everything. If you want to go, then go, but later I’ll have the driver take you over."

"No need, I can just walk with Wanyu later," Situ Xin flatly refused. In her lifetime, Situ Xin was always accompanied by several people whenever she went out, and she was always picked up and dropped off by car. Usually, Situ Xin didn’t feel anything, but just now, after hearing Murong Wanyu’s invitation, she suddenly wanted to experience a different kind of life.

"That’s not okay, this is something I’m firm about; Grandpa and Grandfather would worry," Situ Jin insisted on sending Situ Xin with the driver.

"No, I just don’t," Situ Xin said, not backing down an inch. And every time, Situ Jin would helplessly give in. This time was no different, and Situ Jin couldn’t persist to the end.

Situ Xin held in her hand the money Situ Jin had given her, along with her phone. Her backpack had already been handed to Situ Jin. "Baby, be careful on the road, okay? If anything happens, call me right away. Also, after you finish dinner, call home, and I’ll come to pick you up," Situ Jin said, although he agreed to Situ Xin’s request to go with Murong Wanyu alone, he was still visibly worried.

"Brother, I got it, I’ll be careful," Situ Xin replied, exasperated.

On the side, Murong Wanyu was snickering and whispered to Situ Xin, "Xiao Xin, your brother is really acting like an old mother hen, fussing endlessly." Just as Murong Wanyu finished her sentence, Xiao Muli’s cold voice came through, "Murong Wanyu, take good care of Xiao Xin. If there’s even the slightest harm to Xiao Xin, you’ll have to take responsibility."

As soon as Xiao Muli’s words ended, Murong Wanyu shrank her neck. If there was one person among the three she was truly afraid of, it was Xiao Muli. She always felt chilled by the cold air he seemed to emit.

As Situ Xin and Murong Wanyu walked towards the school gate, Murong Wanyu carefully looked around and, seeing no sign of Xiao Muli, she said to Situ Xin, "Xiao Xin, Xiao Muli is really scary. Every time I’m around him, I feel totally frozen," and with that said, Murong Wanyu actually shivered.

Situ Xin felt Murong Wanyu was quite a character. "Oh, it’s just Muli’s expressionless face. Actually, he’s a really nice guy."

After hearing this, Murong Wanyu mumbled to herself, "Sure, he’s nice, but that depends on who he’s being nice to."

While the two of them were chatting and walking toward the bus stop at the school gate, Murong Wanyu suddenly caught sight of a bus pulling in. On a closer look, it was indeed the bus she needed to take. "Ah, Xiao Xin, hurry! The bus is here!" she exclaimed, grabbing Situ Xin’s hand without thinking and dashing toward the bus stop.

"Hurry, hurry, Xiao Xin, get on quickly," Murong Wanyu said, swiftly and efficiently pushing Situ Xin onto the bus and then squeezing on board right behind her.

"Whew, that was close. Good thing we didn’t miss the bus," Murong Wanyu said, wiping her forehead in relief.

But the next second, she paused, "Hehe, Xiao Xin, are you tired? Sorry about just now, I forgot you’ve never ridden a bus before, so, uh, that was why," she remembered that this was Situ Xin’s first time on a bus and asked, "Are you tired?"

"I’m fine." Situ Xin didn’t mind Murong Wanyu’s recent actions and felt the little exertion was really nothing for her.

"Phew, I’m glad to hear that," Murong Wanyu said, breathing a sigh of relief, then turned to look around the busy interior of the bus to find seats already filled and many people standing. "Xiao Xin, there’s no seat left, is it okay if you stand?"

"No problem, Wanyu. Just treat me like I’m here to experience life. Don’t be so cautious, I’m okay with everything," Situ Xin didn’t say that she had been in much harsher conditions in her previous life.

Everyone saw Situ Xin and Murong Wanyu get on the bus, each frowning with concern. If it wasn’t for knowing Situ Xin’s temperament, they would have gone up and pulled Situ Xin and Murong Wanyu off the bus immediately.

"This won’t do. I need to have the driver follow them, I just can’t be at ease," Situ Jin was still worried about his sister, whom everyone had cherished for so many years, completely overlooking the fact that his sister’s actual strength was much greater than any of theirs.

Just as Situ Jin was about to have the driver follow, Xiao Muli and Yu Qihao stopped him. "Jin, calm down. Xiao Xin is just going to Murong Wanyu’s house for a meal." Although both of them were worried about Situ Xin adapting to the bus, they had to compromise since Situ Xin insisted on it.

Meanwhile, Situ Xin, whom Situ Jin and the others were so concerned about, was actually holding onto the bus handrail and enjoying the passing scenery from the window.

After a forty-minute ride, Murong Wanyu tugged at Situ Xin, "Xiao Xin, our stop is coming up. We need to get off. We’ll exit from this door, follow me afterward," Murong Wanyu instructed.

"Alright," Situ Xin nodded.

This stop seemed quite busy, and both Murong Wanyu and Situ Xin took some time to squeeze off the bus.

"We just need to go through that area to get to my house," Murong Wanyu pointed at a residential complex ahead and said to Situ Xin. "Xiao Xin, let’s go this way, it’s a shortcut," she directed Situ Xin toward an alley.

"Sure, let’s go."

By that time, the sky had darkened, and since the alley wasn’t situated in a bustling area, few people passed through there. However, Murong Wanyu often chose this path to save time on her way home.
