[World 2] Chapter 31

　　The next morning, the sunlight shone into Jiang Mu's bedroom. She slowly opened her eyes and heard someone talking outside the room.

　　"Jiang Mu, are you awake?"

　　Zhao Jiajia was knocking on her door.

　　Jiang Mu didn't respond. She turned over and looked at the alarm clock in front of the window. It was just past eight o'clock.

　　It's so early, go back to sleep.

　　There's nothing good about Zhao Jiajia looking for her, so just ignore her.

　　Zhao Jiajia knocked on the door for a while, but there was no sound from inside. She was not sure whether Jiang Mu had already gotten up and gone out, so she thought about it and walked away.

　　She actually wanted to see if Jiang Mu had received the date card.

　　Every day, two or more guests will receive date cards from the program team, on which will be written the person they are going to date and the content of the date.

　　The last ones received were Qin Siyu and Bai Xue. Since no one was matched successfully at that time, the program team randomly drew a date card to match them, and the one they drew happened to be Qin Siyu's.

　　The program team will slip the date card into the guest's door before dawn so that the guest can see it as soon as he wakes up.

　　Zhao Jiajia got up very early today and started waiting before dawn, but she still hasn't received the date card.

　　She went to the rooms of the other two guests, but Zhou Jing was not there. Qin Siyu said she didn't receive it either.

　　Then only Jiang Mu and Zhou Jing are left.

　　If it was Zhou Jing, then her date was most likely Wu Zeye.

　　Zhao Jiajia was a little overwhelmed. She had finally managed to get Wu Zeye to like her a little, but after what happened with Jiang Mu yesterday, Wu Zeye became lukewarm towards her like before.

　　Although Zhao Jiajia did not regard Zhou Jing as a strong opponent, if Wu Zeye looked at Zhou Jing differently because of this date, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood.

　　Zhao Jiajia decided to go out and find Zhou Jing first.

　　…..

　　Half an hour later, Jiang Mu finished washing up and was about to go out when she saw the card on the ground at the door.

　　She then remembered that the date would be announced this morning.

　　"I almost forgot about this. No wonder Zhao Jiajia came knocking on the door so early in the morning."

　　Jiang Mu picked up the card, saw the name on it, and put it away.

　　When she came downstairs, everyone else was already there.

　　Zhou Jing and Qin Siyu were eating toast, Wu Zeye was drinking coffee, Bai Xue was cooking porridge in the kitchen, and the others were sitting on the sofa.

　　After Jiang Mu went downstairs, he said hello to everyone and went to the kitchen quietly.

　　Qin Siyu saw her walking towards the kitchen and followed her with her eyes.

　　Jiang Mu smiled at Bai Xue without saying anything. She took a bag of milk powder from the cupboard, made himself a cup of milk, and took two pieces of toast and two eggs from the refrigerator.

　　Bai Xue saw her clumsily frying the eggs and reached out to grab the spatula from her hand.

　　"Let me do it."

　　Jiang Mu looked up at him shyly, "Thank you."

　　Bai Xue remained calm and looked at the eggs in the pot seriously, while Jiang Mu looked at him quietly.

　　The two of them stood in the kitchen, one tall and one short, and there was a strange sense of harmony between them.

　　The expression on Qin Siyu's face became very unnatural. She stopped eating the toast in her hand. She suddenly stood up, picked up the plate and cup and went to the kitchen.

　　She walked past Jiang Mu and Bai Xing, went to the sink, poured out the remaining food, and started washing the dishes.

　　The atmosphere in the kitchen seemed to freeze all of a sudden.

　　Qin Siyu thought for a moment and said, "Bai Xue, are you going out this afternoon?"

　　Bai Xue: "Yeah."

　　Qin Siyu looked at Jiang Mu, "Jiang Mu, what about you?"

　　"I have to go out in the afternoon too." Jiang Mu said with his head down.

　　Qin Siyu stopped washing dishes, wondering what she was thinking.

　　She didn't notice that Bai Xue's eyes had also turned a little colder.

　　The eggs were fried. He took them out and placed them on a plate and handed them to Jiang Mu.

　　"Done."

　　His tone was light, as if it was a little different from before.

　　Jiang Mu said: "Thank you."

　　Bai Xue didn't say anything. He turned around, took a bowl, and scooped out a bowl of porridge he had cooked.

　　He glanced at Jiang Mu and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

　　"Can I try the porridge you made?" Jiang Mu noticed his gaze and took the initiative to get a bowl.

　　Bai Xue: "Yeah."

　　Jiang Mu smiled, "Is this oatmeal milk porridge? So you like to drink it too. I usually like to drink this. It can help you lose weight and beautify your skin."

　　Bai Xue: "I don't drink much, I just happened to see oatmeal."

　　Jiang Mu: "Is that so? It tastes very sweet and smells very fragrant. You cooked it very well. It looks delicious."

　　Qin Siyu took a closer look at the porridge in the pot and wondered why she felt it was just average. Was it as good as Jiang Mu said?

　　"I want to try it too. Bai Xue, can you pour me some?" Qin Siyu also said.

　　Bai Xue: "Okay."

　　When Qin Siyu went to get the bowl, Bai Xue had already picked up the spoon and served two spoonfuls to Jiang Mu.

　　When Qin Siyu came over, there was only a little left in the pot. She felt that the amount in Bai Xue's bowl looked even less than that in Jiang Mu's bowl.

　　Qin Siyu was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't know what to say. After Bai Xue served his own food, he handed the spoon to her and left, without any intention of serving her.

　　Bai Xue took breakfast upstairs to his room and ate.

　　Jiang Mu walked to the dining table with the bowl in his hand. Zhou Jing had just finished her breakfast.

　　Zhou Jing saw Jiang Mu coming over and stood up to give up her seat, saying, "You sit here."

　　Jiang Mu looked at her puzzledly.

　　Zhou Jing coughed and asked quietly, "Are you going on a date this afternoon?"

　　Jiang Mu nodded.

　　"With whom?"

　　Jiang Mu paused and did not answer immediately.

　　"We'll know sooner or later anyway, so just tell me." Zhou Jing was so kind to give her her seat because she wanted to know from Jiang Mu who she was going to date.

　　Zhao Jiajia came to ask her just now, and she realized that neither Zhao Jiajia nor Qin Siyu received today's date card, so it must be with Jiang Mu.

　　Zhou Jing was too embarrassed to ask Wu Zeye, so she asked Jiang Mu.

　　Jiang Mu said: "It's Yang Cheng."

　　Jiang Mu's answer made Zhou Jing's eyes light up. Her expression suddenly relaxed, and the look she gave Jiang Mu became much gentler. "Oh it's Yang Cheng, where are you going?"

　　Jiang Mu said: "It's not clear yet."

　　After Zhou Jing knew it was not Wu Zeye, she lost interest, smiled, said a few words casually and left.

　　Jiang Mu was also quite surprised when she saw her and Yang Cheng's names were written on the card, as she clearly wrote Bai Xue.

　　But the result was that she will have a date with Yang Cheng.

　　In fact, the reason why the program team made such arrangements is because Bai Xue's performance on the last date was too bad. If this time is the same as last time, then the next episode will be completely blank.

　　Therefore, the program team did not put this pair of guests who chose each other together, but chose Jiang Mu and Yang Cheng.

　　Anyway, all three male guests chose Jiang Mu, so it can be said that they drew Yang Cheng's card, which is why they were arranged together.

　　At this time, Yang Cheng was also secretly looking at Jiang Mu.

　　He also got the card, but he didn't go to find Jiang Mu, nor did he tell anyone else that he would go on a date with Jiang Mu in the afternoon.

　　Just now, when he saw Jiang Mu and Bai Xue interacting in the kitchen, his face didn't look very good.

　　After everyone else had left, he walked over with a stern face and sat down opposite Jiang Mu.

　　"Hey." Yang Cheng saw that Jiang Mu was eating breakfast seriously with her head down and didn't notice him sitting over. He reached out and pulled the plate in front of Jiang Mu to his side.

　　"What's wrong?" Jiang Mu looked at her puzzledly.

　　Yang Cheng raised his chin and said proudly, "Why did you write my name?"

　　Jiang Mu was confused: "Huh?"

　　Yang Cheng thought she was still pretending and snorted, "Aren't you going to have date with me this afternoon? Why did you write my name?"

　　Jiang Mu wanted to laugh. It turned out that the kid thought that she had written his name and that was why the program crew arranged for her to be with him.

　　I guess he wrote her name.

　　Seeing that he misunderstood, Jiang Mu did not explain, but asked: "Then why did you write my name?"

　　Yang Cheng was stunned by her question, "I... I just wrote it casually, your name is simple."

　　Jiang Mu: "Oh, I see."

　　Jiang Mu lowered her head, looking very lost.

　　Seeing her like this, Yang Cheng scratched his hair and said, "Hey, you haven't answered me yet."

　　Jiang Mu hesitated whether to tell him that she didn't write his name at all, but Yang Cheng interrupted her, "Forget it, don't say it, I know what you are thinking."

　　Jiang Mu: "…"

　　Yang Cheng: "Meet downstairs at 2pm. I'll leave at that time and won't wait for you."

　　Jiang Mu chuckled, "If you don't wait for me, do you want to go on a date alone?"

　　Yang Cheng paused, his expression becoming awkward, "Yes! I'll go alone."

　　Jiang Mu didn't bother with the kid, waved her hand and said, "I know."

　　After saying this, Jiang Mu continued to drink her porridge with her head down.

　　Yang Cheng glanced at the bowl of porridge and asked, "Is it so delicious?"

　　"Well, it tastes good. Do you want some?" Jiang Mu nodded.

　　Yang Cheng: "I don't..."

　　Before he could finish his words, Jiang Mu put the spoon to his lips, and he opened his mouth involuntarily.

　　By the time he reacted, the porridge had already entered his mouth.

　　"So good." Jiang Mu laughed out loud. This kid is really honest but says one thing and does another.

　　After Yang Cheng finished drinking, he realized that this was Jiang Mu's own spoon, "You also used this to eat, right?"

　　"Um."

　　"You!" Yang Cheng hearing Jiang Mu's reply, his face suddenly turned red.

　　He looked at Jiang Mu's lips and a word popped up in his mind: indirect kiss.

　　This Jiang Mu is really unrefined.

　　"Why are you blushing?" Jiang Mu could see through his thoughts.

　　"I'm blushing, you're seeing it wrong."

　　Jiang Mu pointed to a glass not far away, through which she could clearly see the faces of the two people.

　　"It's because I'm hot. Stop talking nonsense. I'm leaving now."

　　Yang Cheng stood up suddenly, said this and ran away.

　　When Yang Cheng was going up the stairs, he looked back at Jiang Mu. Seeing that she was staring at him, he panicked and lost his balance on the step. He stumbled and almost fell down.

　　Yang Cheng's face turned red, twice as red as before.

　　Hearing Jiang Mu's laughter, he turned his head and said to Jiang Mu, "Stop laughing."

　　Jiang Mu stopped laughing and said, "Okay, I won't laugh at you, Little Chengzi."

　　"You! I told you not to call me that."

　　Jiang Mu held his chin up and looked at him, "Little Chengzi is so cute, just as cute as you."

　　"You! Nonsense, I'm not cute." Yang Cheng was angry, his eyes shining brightly.

　　"You are so cute, but you are so cute without a brain." Jiang Mu looked at him intently with a smile.

　　Yang Cheng rolled his eyes at her: "What the hell."

　　"Okay, then tell me what you want me to call you."

　　"Call me brother."

　　Yang Cheng raised his chin, stood on the steps, and looked down at Jiang Mu.

　　Jiang Mu: "That's not okay, you should call me sister."

　　"What sister are you?"

　　Yang Cheng snorted coldly and walked away with a gloomy face. As soon as he left, Jiang Mu saw Wu Zeye appeared at the door at some point.

　　He walked towards Jiang Mu and sat down directly in front of him. "What time are you leaving this afternoon?"

　　Jiang Mu whispered, "Didn't you hear it?"

　　Wu Zeye didn't admit it, "What should I heard?"

　　Jiang Mu didn't say anything.

　　Wu Zeye's face didn't look good. He wrote Jiang Mu's name, thinking that Jiang Mu would also write his name. Who knew that Yang Cheng, that little brat, got it first.

　　He wanted to know why Jiang Mu didn't write his name, but he couldn't ask because it would seem like he cared a lot.

　　"Have you thought about the compensation you mentioned yesterday?"

　　"Not yet." Jiang Mu said hesitantly: "Are you anxious?"

　　Wu Zeye's expression was unnatural, "No hurry."

　　"I'll remember that."

　　Wu Zeye looked at her face, and for some reason he thought of the fragrance he smelled on Jiang Mu last night.

　　He had been thinking about it all night last night, and it seemed like he couldn't get it out of his mind.

　　He wanted to smell her again to see if she still had that scent.

　　Just as he was approaching Jiang Mu, Jiang Mu turned around and saw Bai Xue coming down from upstairs again.
