Chapter 246 was a coincidence

Time passed very quickly. Soon, it was June, and Teacher Hu had taken advantage of his connections to craft a mock academic level exam for Shuishui. She had taken history, geography, and politics. Teacher Hu wanted to let her experience the type of tests that would be given and to arrange for her to take the college entrance exam once she reached second year. If she did well in the mock exams, she wouldn't have to waste her time on those subjects.

Teacher Hu had so many connections that it would be easy for him to help Shuishui. The teachers perceived Shuishui as a very hardworking and very respectful young lady.

At the start of July, they also began to review and work hard for the final exams. Shuishui, on the other hand, became even busier because of their preparations for the upcoming debate competition.

Every afternoon, she would spend time with Luo Ming to make plans for the competition and to discuss many random topics.

At night, whenever she was free, she would call Mu Ziyu. Mu Ziyu would often call her first. Shuishui had a feeling that they were growing quite distant. However, she often felt the longing in his voice. Therefore, she tried her best to show her enthusiasm. Many times, she had also wondered if she was being too cold-hearted towards him. She could not bear to hurt Mu Ziyu. Even if she felt that they were becoming more and more distant, she chose to persevere for the sake of their relationship.

Shuishui knew that it was part of the process of being in a relationship. It was normal to experience being quite distant from each other every now and then. They had to get through that critical period to last.

Ring. Ring. That weekend, Shuishui was lazing around her bed. She wanted to simply rest that day, but her phone rang.

She glanced at her phone. It was an unknown contact, so she was puzzled for a moment. She decided to answer the call. "Hello?"

"Shuishui, this is your uncle." It was a familiar voice.

Shuishui sat up. How did her uncle get her number? She wasn't even close to her uncle. Shuishui pondered for a while and said, "Uncle, what's the matter?"

"Shuishui, if you're free, go home and accompany your father. You're not young anymore. Also, if you're free, sit down and have a good chat with your mother." His sudden mention of this made Shuishui wary.

Shuishui couldn't understand her uncle's intentions, but she still handled it carefully. "Anzhi and I often go to father's office to eat with him. As for the rest, I don't have time to deal with those things now."

He could hear Shuishui's cold tone. "Oh, I see. When you have time, go back home to have dinner with the family, and maybe you can talk to your father. Recently, your father has given up his power, and your sister is still a basic employee. She has been working very hard. You can try to persuade your father to arrange a better and more comfortable position for your sister." Shuishui's uncle was not close to her, and they have never really talked before, so he couldn't talk to her in a very familiar tone. He also wasn't sure of Shuishui's personality and how she would react to his suggestions. He couldn't say what he wanted to say, so he could only choose to talk about Qian Momo.

Shuishui thought that it was ridiculous. "Why should I speak up for Qian Momo? That's something that she has to deal with herself. If she doesn't do well enough, she can look for another job somewhere else. Besides, she was able to join the company only because of her connection to Dad. If she doesn't do well, she will embarrass Dad."

Shuishui was annoyed. What was the Li family thinking? What were they planning? Weren't they just trying to take advantage of their own interests? They were not the type of people who would think of other people's needs.

Why would they be so kind to care about Qian Momo Her tone was still cold and indifferent. Her words carried Qian Momo's ridicule. Ever since she found out that she pushed her father, although she did not say it out loud, she was already speechless towards Qian Momo. With such a character, she couldn't say anything about this person. In any case, she was a top-notch character.

Uncle Li was stunned. Her relationship with Qian Momo didn't seem to be too good. He seemed to have said something wrong, "Sigh, there's no overnight feud between sisters. Tell uncle, what happened? "

Shui Shui felt that there was a hidden meaning in his words, "uncle, she and I have always been like this. Moreover, this isn't hatred. It's just my heartfelt disdain towards Qian Momo. Alright, uncle, if there's nothing else, I won't say anymore. "

Shui Shui's two words, disdain He couldn't understand why she said that, but he finally understood. On Qian Shuishui's side, he basically couldn't make sense of it. Without a good relationship, he felt that he couldn't continue speaking. "then uncle will not disturb your weekend. "

"Oh, goodbye then." Shuishui hung up the phone and lay down in bed again. Not long after, her phone rang again. This time, it was from Mu Ziyu.

She picked up the call. Towards Mu Ziyu, she was more casual.

"What are your plans for tonight?" Mu Ziyu asked in a low voice.

Shuishui thought for a moment. "I'll stay at home."

"I've already arrived in City A," he said.

Shuishui sat up in shock. "You're here?"

"I'm at the door. Can you open the door for me?" Mu Ziyu laughed.

Shuishui ran to open the door. When she opened the door, Mu Ziyu hugged her. She was shocked and reached out to hug him. "You . . . How did you get here?"

She was a little surprised. When she smelled his perfume that reminded her of peppermint, her heart actually beat faster.

"I missed you, so I came." He really missed her. He called her every day, but he was sad that he could only hear her voice. He felt really uncomfortable, so he decided to visit the city to spend time with Shuishui.

Shuishui closed the door and pulled him in. In the past weeks, she hadn't seen him, and she felt that her affection for him was slowly fading. Now that they met again, she realized how deep her affection for him was. She was very surprised by his arrival.

"I came back just because I missed you. And I know that if I don't come back, you'll probably forget about me, right?" Ziyu said. He lowered his head to look at Shuishui's exquisite face, and Shuishui turned her head away guiltily. He grabbed her chin and said, "You really are a bad one. If I don't watch you closely, you'll easily run away."

Shuishui squirmed and tried to get away from his embrace. "How can that be? I've just been a little busy recently."

Mu Ziyu pulled Shuishui forcefully. "A little busy?"

"Uh, yes, a little busy." She looked at him and smiled. "Anzhi went to attend makeup classes today. It's almost noon. Let's go out for lunch. But where are your things?"

"I don't have many things. I only have a small handbag. I don't even have a place to stay." Mu Ziyu looked at Shuishui pitifully.

Shuishui stretched out her head to take a look. "How long are you planning to stay here before you go back?"

He looked at Shuishui. "I can stay for a longer period of time. I came back to take care of some things that I left behind."

Shuishui placed her hand on her forehead. "You can't stay here either. The living room serves as Qian Anzhi's spot. The apartment next to mine is currently being rented out."

"Then the apartment next door will do." Mu Ziyu was a fast decision-maker. He wsa quick to decide on renting the apartment next door. Fortunately, he was fast enough, because the management said that there was someone who was interested in that unit. Mu Ziyu was very adamant and directly paid the deposit. Besides, the person who had signified interest in the unit only said that he was going to look at the unit. He did not say he was going to rent it. Naturally, the management conceded and allowed Mu Ziyu to rent it.

Shuishui admired his efficiency. After everything was done, they went out to eat together.

Shuishui followed Mu Ziyu the entire way. Wherever he went, she followed.

At noon, they had lunch at a small restaurant nearby. Shuishui said, "You didn't even tell me you were coming. You scared me."

"Really? Didn't I surprise you?" Ziyu smiled faintly. He still remembered Shuishui's surprised expression when she opened the door. It was a pity that he was a little disappointed. Back in the capital, he would occasionally feel anxious because of Shuishui's cold personality. He felt that she was becoming distant. She was mature and had her own opinions. She was a rational, independent person.

He was troubled by it. Even if she was in love, she was still very rational and would not be blinded by love. Although it was one of her good traits, he wished she would also warm up to him and be more open towards him. However, he also tried to understand, because he knew that Shuishui was troubled by many things. "I heard from your brother that something happened at home recently. Don't take it to heart. Uncle is a very capable person. He knows what he is doing very well," he said to Shuishui.

"I know that my father is very capable and decisive. It is indeed uncomfortable when things like those happen. Everything will be fine. I can't do anything much to help him now. Anyway, let's not talk about these things anymore. Although Dad is back at the office now, he has already delegated his role to someone else. In the future, he will be more inclined to travel and take care of his health. I am very happy. At least, he doesn't have to work so hard for the company anymore. He doesn't have to overwork himself. I hope his health improves along with his much-needed break." She was very supportive of her father's actions. To her, her father's health was the most important thing.

Mu Ziyu knew what Shuishui was thinking. He ruffled her hair and said, "Sometimes, we shouldn't think so much about things."

Shuishui closed her eyes and smiled. For some reason, his presence comforted her greatly.

"After dinner, we'll go to the supermarket to buy a few things. We need daily necessities," Shuishui said. She tried not to worry too much about her father. Now that the company had stabilized, he would be able to sit back and relax a bit and supervise things. She wasn't able to tell Ziyu everything because she didn't know much about the company's state of affairs.

She looked at Mu Ziyu. He only brought a few things. Was he in such a hurry to get to the city?

"Okay." He nodded and smiled.

After a long time, after dinner, they took a taxi to the supermarket. Mu Ziyu's car wasn't available for pick-up until the next day.

Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, the way they interacted with each other didn't change. Mu Ziyu still liked to hold Shuishui's hand. They strolled around the supermarket. They then went to the city center because they still needed to buy some furniture. There were fewer options in the supermarket.

Coincidentally, the person walking towards them was Qian Momo.

Shuishui looked at the woman in front of her. She was dressed gorgeously. She stopped and focused her gaze on Mu Ziyu. Shuishui suddenly realized she looked familiar. However, Mu Ziyu did not remember who Qian Momo was. He pulled Shuishui to the side and said, "Let's have hot pot tonight."

"Okay." Shuishui nodded.

Qian Momo finally noticed that the woman that Mu Ziyu was holding was actually her younger sister. Her eyes widened as she thought, 'How is that possible?'

She quickened her steps and walked forward. "Shuishui, why are you here?"

Her questioning tone was baffling. Shuishui looked at Qian Momo and asked, "Why? Why can't I be here? Do you own this place?"

"What's the relationship between the two of you?" Qian Momo looked at them and saw that they were holding hands. Wasn't Mu Ziyu already at the capital? Why was he there with her younger sister?
