Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 395 - 394 The Mysteries Within

Because he and Xuanxuan had agreed to go watch the fireworks show together tonight.

Su Mu accompanied Elder Su for dinner and then returned to his own room.

Elder Su didn’t comment on his grandson’s busy appearance.

It’s normal for young people nowadays to not want to stay at home and to prefer going out to have fun.

Besides, Elder Su knew that Xiao Mu was already in a relationship, so it was quite normal for him to be busy.

Which couple in love doesn’t enjoy sticking close together?

Elder Su admitted that although society wasn’t as open back in his youth,

who hadn’t been impulsive when they were young?

When Elder Su first met Xiao Mu’s grandmother, didn’t he also want to see her every day?

Thinking of his late wife, Elder Su became lost in thought.

...

Su Mu returned to his room and habitually took out his phone to have a look.

After coming back, Su Mu had changed his clothes and left his phone in the room.

It had been an afternoon, and Su Mu didn’t know if anyone had been looking for him.

Of course, Su Mu knew that as a student, it wouldn’t be any emergency if someone was trying to reach him.

So he was accustomed to not carrying his phone with him at home.

Upon activating the screen, there were actually several little red dots on WeChat.

But there were no missed calls, so Su Mu figured these messages probably weren’t urgent.

He opened WeChat and saw there were several unread messages.

Su Mu glanced at them, one avatar belonged to Xuanxuan, another to Four Eyes, and there was also one from He Qiya.

Could it be that these three had agreed to look for him together?

Su Mu shook his head, knowing that was impossible.

Among them, only Four Eyes knew both Xuanxuan and He Qiya.

As for He Qiya and Xuanxuan, they probably hadn’t even met once.

Su Mu felt that Xuanxuan’s and He Qiya’s personalities didn’t really seem to mesh well enough for them to be friends.

He Qiya was a bit too cold to others.

Xuanxuan might look gentle and soft, but she also had a proud side to her.

So, if Xuanxuan were to meet He Qiya, it was likely that neither of these young girls would take the initiative to speak to the other.

Of course, there was no need for the two of them to become friends either.

Su Mu concluded in his mind.

Su Mu first clicked on his girlfriend’s avatar.

"Su Mu, about what time will you come to pick me up tonight? I’ll get ready."

Since Su Mu hadn’t replied, Jiang Xinxuan sent another message.

"Just let me know when you leave your house, that’ll be fine. I’m not in a hurry, just asking."

Su Mu knew that his girlfriend definitely wanted to dress up and look beautiful before going out.

That’s why she asked when he would come to pick her up, so Xuanxuan could prepare in advance.

Since Xuanxuan had said it was okay for him to tell her when he was leaving, Su Mu wasn’t in a rush to reply to Xuanxuan’s WeChat message.

He clicked on Four Eyes’ avatar, wondering if his good friend had run into some trouble.

That shouldn’t be the case though, as back in the Yude High School parking lot, Four Eyes had made it very clear.

Li Minli had agreed to start off as friends first with Four Eyes.

At the time, Four Eyes was very satisfied with this outcome.

Was Four Eyes contacting him now because something unexpected had happened?

With confusion, Su Mu clicked on Four Eyes’ avatar.

"Su Mu, what do you think of He Qiya?"

A totally unexpected question caught Su Mu off guard.

Could it be that Four Eyes had moved on and fallen for He Qiya?

Su Mu thought that if that were the case, Four Eyes’ feelings sure changed too quickly, didn’t they?

But that shouldn’t be possible, right? Since this morning, hadn’t Four Eyes been continuously fixated on that girl he saw from the back?

After all, Su Mu hadn’t noticed anything special about Four Eyes’ interest in He Qiya throughout the long time they spent together from morning until they parted ways in the Yude High School parking lot in the afternoon.

Besides having lunch together, during which Four Eyes had a chat with He Qiya about the fitness center.

But that was quite normal for Four Eyes.

Four Eyes had always been a chatterbox, and at the time, Su Mu had no interest in joining the conversation about such topics.

So naturally, Four Eyes could only turn to He Qiya to chat.

After all, He Qiya had also been a member at the Super LM Fitness Center, so for Four Eyes to ask her some questions about it was perfectly normal.

There was nothing amiss.

Besides, He Qiya had always been cold towards Four Eyes, not showing any signs of particular interest.

Su Mu found it really strange that Four Eyes would all of a sudden specifically ask him about He Qiya at this time.

It’s not like Four Eyes and Li Minli had the kind of online romance that would die if it saw the light of day.

Four Eyes had already seen Li Minli’s face just yesterday.

Meaning, Four Eyes had developed an interest in Li Minli only after knowing what she looked like.

Therefore, it couldn’t be possible for Four Eyes to suddenly become interested in He Qiya after making contact with Li Minli, could it?

So it seems that Su Mu really misunderstood Four Eyes.

Four Eyes was devoted to Li Minli; how could he possibly switch his affections in such a short span of time?

The main reason was that Four Eyes just couldn’t resist his own curiosity.

Having noticed He Qiya’s admiration for Su Mu, Four Eyes naturally wanted to know what his good friend felt about He Qiya.

Anyway, Su Mu had no romantic feelings for He Qiya—Four Eyes had noticed that much.

It wasn’t easy for Four Eyes to directly say to Su Mu: He Qiya likes you, what do you think of her?

Four Eyes knew that if he said it like that,

and if by chance Su Mu distanced himself from He Qiya because of his words, then he would feel a bit guilty towards He Qiya.

Considering that He Qiya had been quite helpful to him today, Four Eyes wasn’t capable of such ingratitude.

Thus, Four Eyes’ question was quite tactful.

It almost led Su Mu to think that Four Eyes himself had some other idea.

"Have you taken a fancy to He Qiya, lad? Didn’t you just become friends with Li Minli?"

"You made such a fuss to find that girl, and now what’s on your mind?"

Because they were good friends, Su Mu didn’t hesitate to ask straight out.

After sending out the two WeChat messages, Su Mu didn’t expect Four Eyes to reply right away.

Just when he was about to click on He Qiya’s avatar to see what the lady in question in Four Eyes’ WeChat had sent him,

Four Eyes’ WeChat message immediately came back.

It was clear that Four Eyes was very eager about this matter.

Not opening the message yet, Su Mu became curious about what could have made Four Eyes so anxious to reply to his WeChat, was it because he hit the nail on the head or some other reason?

Upon opening it, Four Eyes’ response was very prompt, and the message he sent was straightforward.

"I have absolutely no interest in He Qiya."

Perhaps feeling that his stance wasn’t firm enough, Four Eyes quickly sent another message.

"Really, I only have feelings for Li Minli."

"Su Mu, don’t get me wrong, I really have no feelings for He Qiya."

Seeing that Su Mu did not reply, Four Eyes anxiously added another message.

Su Mu watched as Four Eyes sent three WeChat messages in a row and wondered if Four Eyes’ reaction was a bit too intense?

It was just a simple question; did he have to be so agitated?

If he has no feelings, then he has no feelings.

Su Mu felt that he wasn’t He Qiya’s elder; did Four Eyes really need to explain himself like this? freewebnøvel.com

It made it seem as though Four Eyes was assuring Su Mu that he harbored no inappropriate thoughts toward He Qiya.

Su Mu felt he meant nothing else by it.

If Four Eyes really liked He Qiya, Su Mu would not object.

It was just that earlier that afternoon, Four Eyes had just found his mysterious girl.

Now, Four Eyes was acting, in Su Mu’s view, as if he was interested in He Qiya.

That’s why Su Mu had asked, out of curiosity.

Not wanting Four Eyes to explain any further, Su Mu sent back a WeChat message.

"If you have no feelings, then you have no feelings—why get so worked up about it?"

"I’m not He Qiya’s dad; you don’t need to explain anything to me."

Upon seeing Su Mu’s reply, Four Eyes felt an urge to vomit blood.

Four Eyes thought that his anxious explanations were only because he feared that Su Mu might misunderstand something.

Although Su Mu had no interest in He Qiya, He Qiya’s affection was there.

But from Su Mu’s messages, Four Eyes realized Su Mu had never even thought about He Qiya in a romantic way.

According to Four Eyes’ nature, he would not usually keep such things to himself.

But remembering the help He Qiya had given him, Four Eyes thought it was better for him to play dumb.

He would let Su Mu discover He Qiya’s feelings for himself slowly.

"Isn’t it because I’m afraid you’ll misunderstand?"

"Honestly, Su Mu, what do you think of He Qiya as a girl?"

"I mean, she might seem cold, but it looks like she’s pretty nice to her friends."

What Four Eyes really wanted to say was that He Qiya was cold to everyone.

Only when facing Su Mu did He Qiya seem like a normal girl.

But Four Eyes knew that if he really said that, it would definitely catch Su Mu’s attention.

Su Mu was such a smart person; it was only because Su Mu had never thought about He Qiya romantically.

That’s why Su Mu had overlooked the special way He Qiya treated him.

If Four Eyes pointed it out deliberately, he thought Su Mu would surely understand the subtleties.

If it was not meant to be said, then he couldn’t say it, even if it caused him internal suffering. Four Eyes could not possibly ask outright.

He could only beat around the bush to satisfy a bit of his own curiosity about what Su Mu really thought of He Qiya.

Four Eyes felt that this might also satisfy his own curiosity.

"What’s there for me to misunderstand? If you like her, you like her; if you don’t, you don’t. What’s it got to do with me?"

I’m not He Qiya’s boyfriend, nor am I He Qiya’s dad.

Even if Four Eyes really liked He Qiya, Su Mu would have no objections.

At most, Su Mu would feel that Four Eyes changed his mind too quickly, that’s all.

"But you’re right about one thing, He Qiya looks cold, but she’s actually nice to friends."

"You’ll be seeing He Qiya often from now on; you can treat her as a friend."

"Maybe you and He Qiya can become really good friends."

Four Eyes wanted to join Su Mu for workouts, and He Qiya has already applied for a membership card.

Four Eyes and He Qiya will definitely see each other often in the future.

Su Mu suddenly had an idea.

Once Four Eyes and He Qiya became friends, then the two of them could go to the gym together.

Thinking this, Su Mu felt that he still needed to further promote the relationship between Four Eyes and He Qiya.

First of all, it was definitely time to hype He Qiya to Four Eyes while he was still curious about her.

When Four Eyes saw the WeChat message Su Mu had replied, he felt as if they were talking past each other.

What Four Eyes wanted to ask was Su Mu’s feeling about He Qiya.

But Su Mu completely avoided answering that question, instead giving Four Eyes the impression that Su Mu wanted to push He Qiya on him.

Of course, Su Mu wasn’t trying to sell He Qiya to Four Eyes as a girlfriend.

Su Mu knew that Four Eyes was currently preoccupied with Li Minli, so it was impossible for him to entertain thoughts about other girls at this time.

But even if not as a girlfriend, they could still be good friends, right?

If Four Eyes and He Qiya became good friends, not to mention that Su Mu would have two fewer tails following him,

He Qiya could also gain another friend—wouldn’t that be further integrating her into society?

"Forget it, consider it as if I never asked."

"Remember to count me in the next time you go to the gym, Su Mu."

"I’m counting on you to deal with this marbled flesh of mine."

Since he couldn’t pry Su Mu’s view on He Qiya, Four Eyes took the initiative to change the subject.

Matters of the heart are very sensitive.

Four Eyes understood the principle that more words mean more mistakes.

Not wanting to cause any problems for Su Mu and He Qiya’s future interactions because of his own prattling, Four Eyes wisely shut his mouth.

Of course, knowing Su Mu as Four Eyes does,

If Su Mu knew about He Qiya’s feelings for him and yet had no interest in He Qiya,

then it was likely that He Qiya would have a difficult time getting close to Su Mu in the future.

Su Mu didn’t like ambiguous relationships—that was something Four Eyes understood deeply from their three years in high school.

Among those high school girls who confessed to Su Mu, it seemed none could become his friend, right?

Of course, except for one Jiang Xinxuan.

But at that time, Jiang Xinxuan had never really confessed to Su Mu either.

One could only say that there was some ambiguity between them.

This might also be a reason why Su Mu’s attitude towards Jiang Xinxuan was always different.

"Take care of your own marbled flesh—to think I would help, in your dreams!"

Su Mu knew that Four Eyes couldn’t possibly undergo the same extreme workout that he did.

If Four Eyes thought that he could lose that body fat just by going to the gym in the same hit-or-miss fashion as Su Mu,

Su Mu suggested that Four Eyes’ nickname might change to "Little Fatty" in college.

"Su Mu, do you have to be so heartless? I’m not aiming to get a muscular physique like yours."

"Just let me at least keep away from the nickname ’Fatty’."

If Four Eyes wasn’t texting with Su Mu at the moment but standing face to face instead,

he would definitely be howling in pain to express his heartache.

Is Four Eyes sensing the rhythm of being abandoned by a good friend?

"Forget it. You’ll understand when I take you to the gym next time."

Su Mu didn’t want to explain any further to Four Eyes.

After all, no matter how much Su Mu said now, Four Eyes wouldn’t grasp his meaning.

For someone who had never really worked out, there’s no way Four Eyes could know how terrifying Su Mu’s workout regime was.
