Chapter 163 She is indeed very good
Even without Bai Luo saying anything, Mu Xiaoyu knew who the person she was talking about was as soon as she saw the newcomer.
The person walking towards them was none other than Bai Ye, whom Mu Xiaoyu had met just a few days ago.
If the previous encounters were just coincidences, Mu Xiaoyu would never believe it was a coincidence this time.
Thinking back to what Grandpa Bai had said to her that day, and the strange thing about Bai Luo when he took her home, Mu Xiaoyu's heart became incredibly complicated.
Could it be... that Bai Ye... has feelings for her...?
The idea had barely surfaced when Mu Xiaoyu rejected it. She wasn't a narcissistic person. Just as she had once thought she was somewhat unworthy of Li Chenxu, no matter how unapproachable Bai Ye might seem on the surface, he was still from a different world than her. Besides, they hadn't had any contact before, so how could he possibly have any feelings for her?
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu relaxed a little. When Bai Ye had completely walked up to them, she even took the initiative to greet him.
Just like last time, Bai Ye simply nodded slightly upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words. Then, in the next second, before Mu Xiaoyu could fully react, Bai Ye magically produced a comic book and a small bouquet of flowers from behind his back.
That comic book was newly published by Mu Xiaoyu, and that bouquet of flowers was naturally a gift for Mu Xiaoyu.
Mu Xiaoyu was completely confused about the current situation. Seeing this, she stared blankly at Bai Ye, her eyes full of doubt.
Bai Ye still had that expressionless face, but a suspicious blush appeared on his bronze skin. He subconsciously wanted to cover his mouth and cough lightly, but both his hands were holding something, so he couldn't do anything else.
Despite his usually imposing aura, he appeared outwardly no different from usual. However, Mu Xiaoyu sensed something different; he seemed... less frightening than before.
Bai Luo, unable to bear watching her older brother's behavior any longer, snatched the bouquet from Bai Ye's hand and shoved it into Mu Xiaoyu's hands, saying, "Sister Xiaoyu, you might be surprised to hear this... but my brother is also a fan of your books. He's been following you for a while, but he's shy and hasn't been to the previous book signings. He was staring at you because he wanted your autograph, nothing more."
Bai Ye clearly disagreed with Bai Luo's words. He gave Bai Luo a 'reproachful' look, then looked at Mu Xiaoyu, who was clearly stunned, and said, "Is that alright?"
His voice sounded much softer than before, and it was clear that he was trying his best not to scare Mu Xiaoyu.
Bai Ye's mellow voice pulled Mu Xiaoyu back from her wandering thoughts. She quickly looked at Bai Ye and saw the faint expectation in his eyes and a slightly uneasy look on his seemingly expressionless face. She couldn't help but chuckle softly.
She hugged the bouquet tightly, then took out a pen from her bag, took the comic book from Bai Ye, signed it, and added a special blessing for Bai Ye. After finishing all this, she gave the comic book to Bai Ye.
Mu Xiaoyu smiled at Bai Ye and said, "Mr. Bai, it's an honor that you like my comics. In the future... if a new comic is published, I will send a signed copy to Mr. Bai and Luo Luo. Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Bai."
The gloom that had been hanging over her heart for days because of her cold war with Li Chenxu was somewhat dispelled by the affirmation and appreciation others had shown for her comics. When Mu Xiaoyu spoke to Bai Ye, her tone was soft and gentle, with a touch of a charming sweetness rarely seen in someone her age. Coupled with the way her eyes crinkled when she smiled, Bai Ye was momentarily stunned for a few seconds.
He glanced down at the comic book in his hand, then at Mu Xiaoyu, who seemed to be in a very good mood, as if he wanted to say something. But before he could speak, the club president behind him suddenly shouted Mu Xiaoyu's name.
Although there was still about an hour before the book signing event, Mu Xiaoyu had an interview beforehand, so time was still quite tight.
Upon hearing the president's call, Mu Xiaoyu immediately understood. She gave Bai Ye an apologetic look and said, "Mr. Bai, I'm sorry, I have to go now. See you again sometime."
After giving Bai Ye a polite smile, she whispered a few words to Bai Luo before quickly walking towards the backstage area.
With Mu Xiaoyu gone, only Bai Luo and Bai Ye remained. Even in front of his sister, Bai Ye remained a man of few words. After Mu Xiaoyu left, he glanced at the autographed book in his hand but didn't utter a single word.
Seeing her older brother's expression, Bai Luo felt a sense of disappointment and frustration. She couldn't help but glare at him and said, "Big brother, look at all of Xiaoyu's other fans. Every single one of them is incredibly excited to see her. Look at you... If I hadn't helped you just now, you probably wouldn't have even gotten an autograph..."
"Didn't you want that new necklace from DX? I'll have someone buy it and send it to you later."
Bai Luo's initially disdainful expression instantly turned into a fawning one. She quickly and affectionately took Bai Ye's arm and said with a smile, "Big brother, I knew you were the best... How is it? Sister Xiaoyu is great, isn't she? It would be even better if you got to know her better..."
The last sentence was Bai Luo's own monologue; she truly loved Mu Xiaoyu. Before, it was because of Mu Xiaoyu's comics, but now she was even more captivated by Mu Xiaoyu's gentleness and character.
Bai Luo didn't expect Bai Ye to respond to her words, since Bai Ye wasn't that kind of person at all. But to her surprise, Bai Ye nodded in agreement when he heard Mu Xiaoyu's words, saying, "She is indeed very good..."
These few words alone made Bai Luo's eyes widen in disbelief. She quickly released Bai Ye, staring at him from head to toe with wide eyes. After a long while, she stammered, "Big brother...you...you know what you just said?"
More than 20 years have passed, and Bai Luo knows what kind of person her elder brother is. He has never praised any other woman before, but now he actually says that Mu Xiaoyu is good.
Seeing Bai Luo's shocked expression, Bai Ye merely glanced at her and then repeated, "She is indeed very good."
