Bricklaying to See You

"Hello... I'm Lele's best friend, Zhao Man."

"I am Snow White."

The two best friends greeted Mo Yu with smiles on their faces, but a scrutinizing glint flashed in their eyes.

As girls from the nation's top dance academy, they face far more temptations than ordinary girls on a daily basis.

From the very first day of school, their teachers constantly warned them to keep their minds focused, because if that focus snapped, they would be finished, and the highest temple of art would never open for them.

That's why, when faced with Mo Yu's sudden appearance, their first reaction was... that a blond guy was going to hurt their best friend. Alarm bells went off in their minds, but their upbringing and manners wouldn't allow them to speak ill of her, so they could only come over to protect their best friend.

Some say that once girls go to university, they automatically unlock makeup and fashion skills, and there's some truth to that.

The moment they saw Mo Yu, they immediately estimated the value of all his clothes.

A simple white printed short-sleeved shirt paired with navy blue straight-leg cropped casual pants and low-top canvas shoes—this outfit would cost no more than 400 yuan.

She is about 175 cm tall and her looks would be a 75 out of 100. Mo Yu's looks might be competitive in an ordinary university, but they wouldn't be enough for a school like the Beijing Dance Academy.

Boys like that are a dime a dozen at their school. Like Liu Yiyi, Bai Xue and Zhao Man also couldn't understand how such an "ordinary" boy could make Mi Le look at him differently.

Facing the scrutinizing gazes of the two girls, Mo Yu showed no sign of anything amiss and greeted them calmly: "Hello, Sister Bai Xue, hello, Sister Manman, I'm Mo Yu... I'm so sorry to bother you today, I had to pester Lele to bring me here to broaden my horizons."

When Mo Yu spoke, she looked directly at the other person with a smile on her lips. She stood upright with a relaxed posture, without the awkwardness and shifty gaze that boys often make when they first meet them.

It is said that first impressions are very important when people meet for the first time. Mo Yu's poised and generous demeanor won the favor of the two girls, especially her clear, bright eyes that seemed to speak volumes, which greatly dispelled the girls' initial scrutinizing feelings.

Bai Xue raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, and feigned surprise as she asked Mi Le, "Lele...you two have already progressed to the point where you call each other by nicknames?"

"Hey... don't talk nonsense..." Miler panicked instantly upon hearing this, her face turning bright red. She was about to rush over to confront Bai Xue, but Zhao Man held her back.

With her petite frame, she was like a child being held by an adult in Zhao Man's arms, unable to break free for a moment.

Fortunately, Liu Yiyi spoke up, "Alright... stop fooling around."

Let's settle Xiaoyu down first, and then we'll start our nightlife. What do you think, Xiaoyu?

"I have no objection, I'll listen to whatever you say." Mo Yu naturally agreed.

"Alright... get in the car." Liu Yiyi waved her hand, and everyone got into the car.

Liu Yiyi drove, Mo Yu sat in the passenger seat, and Mi Le, Zhao Man, and Bai Xue sat in the back. The BMW X3 exited the parking lot and skillfully merged into the main traffic flow.

As it turns out, when it comes to food, clothing, housing, and transportation, listening to the locals is always the right thing to do.

Liu Yiyi only asked him what kind of hotel he wanted to stay in. After hearing his request for a comfortable, mid-range hotel, she simply replied, "Understood!"

Then, with a press of the accelerator, the car stopped in front of a hotel called Atour about 20 minutes later.

The group arrived at the front desk in a grand manner and checked in amidst the surprised looks of the receptionist. Since it was the off-season, the price was not expensive, costing only a little over 1,200 yuan for two days.

There were a few other girls nearby, so Mo Yu naturally wouldn't keep them waiting long, nor would she be so tactless as to invite them to her room. She simply said to them, "Sisters, I'm really sorry, please wait for me for ten minutes."

Watching Mo Yu disappear into the elevator, Liu Yiyi turned to look at Bai Xue and Zhao Man.

"My two Yuanfang sisters... what do you think?"

"Look at your sister!" Bai Xue laughed and cursed, then rested her chin on her left hand and said in a pretentious manner, "From what I can see so far, apart from his financial situation, his other conditions are not bad, and his appearance is decent."

"He's really good." Zhao Man clicked her tongue in amazement: "Especially his peach blossom eyes, I've never seen anything like them before. When this junior goes to university, I wonder how many girls he'll attract like moths to a flame. Our little Lele is in for a treat."

"Good fortune my foot."

Mi Le blushed with embarrassment and pinched the soft flesh under Zhao Man's armpit. Zhao Man giggled and dodged to the side, and the two started to playfully fight on the spot.

"Alright...you two, stop making things worse."

Liu Yi sat down next to Mi Le and hugged her tightly. "I'm just teasing you. Your little brother has passed our initial screening. He's not quite up to par in terms of financial situation, but otherwise he's pretty good. If you're interested in him, give it a try."

"Try me, my foot!"

Mi Le, who was being hugged, first retorted in embarrassment and indignation, then her expression darkened: "Xiao Yu will have to go back to Nanning for university in a while, how will we have time to date?"

Liu Yiyi, Bai Xue, and Zhao Man exchanged glances and sighed inwardly.

It seems that Mi Le really has feelings for Mo Yu, otherwise she wouldn't have said such a thing. However, time and distance are always an obstacle between the two of them. In reality, many couples lose because of this. But there's nothing they can do to help each other. It all depends on their own fate.

Mo Yu kept his word, and just ten minutes later, he appeared at the elevator entrance.

As he stepped out of the elevator, he saw four girls sitting on a fabric sofa in the lounge area. Miler was looking down, her fingers unconsciously fiddling with her bag strap, while her other three best friends had different expressions.

Mo Yu didn't stop; instead, she quickened her pace and walked over: "What's going on? Could it be that the ladies heard I was going and are worried that this big eater will eat them out of house and home, so they're discussing how to abandon me halfway through the journey?"

As Mo Yu spoke, she naturally walked over and stood next to Miler.

Sensing his approach, Miler looked up, the faint worry in her eyes still lingering, but when she saw Mo Yu's relaxed smile, it melted away like frost touched by firelight.

"Don't be so vain, who's going to abandon you?"

Liu Yiyi broke the silence first. She stood up and casually flicked her car keys. "We were discussing that the store we're going to later has a long queue, so we need to hurry over there."

Taking advantage of this moment, Mo Yu whispered to Mi Le, who was walking at the back, "Don't worry, senior. Although the plane ticket from Yongcheng to Beijing is not cheap, I'm very fast at making money."

Mi Le paused for a moment, then understood the implication in Mo Yu's words. Her pretty face flushed slightly as she glared at him and muttered softly, "Who asked you to come and see me while I was carrying bricks... I'm leaving!" Although she was stubborn, her movements as she got up were noticeably lighter.
