Mo Yinshu’s books, along with most of her things, were locked by Xu Zeqing in the storage room beneath the stairs, while some items were placed in You Mingyue’s room.

You Mingyue hadn’t returned yet, and Xu Xingguang decided to start organizing the items in the storage room.

Mo Yinshu’s collection of books was stored in large burlap sacks by Xu Zeqing, each weighing about a hundred pounds.

Xu Xingguang said to Huo Wen’an, "You wait here, I can move them myself."

After speaking, she lifted the burlap sack with both hands and swung it behind her, easily hoisting it onto her back and walking out effortlessly.

Huo Wen’an watched Xu Xingguang’s back for a moment before turning around and effortlessly lifting a burlap sack with one hand, following her out.

Xu Xingguang placed the sacks into the car trunk and turned to see Huo Wen’an, who could lift a hundred-pound bag with one hand and appeared undeterred; she was quite surprised.

"You have quite some strength."

Huo Wen’an said, "I just got sick, but my physical strength is fine."

"Is it?" Xu Xingguang’s gaze was straightforward, lingering meaningfully on Huo Wen’an’s waist. "Then I can be assured."

Drink the strongest liquor, and date the most uninhibited romance. Xu Xingguang was not a nun and had no interest in platonic love.

She’s not afraid of a boyfriend with strength, just a boyfriend without it.

Huo Wen’an understood Xu Xingguang’s implication, suddenly feeling a wave of agitation.

He didn’t know what to say, so he focused on continuing to carry things.

After working up a sweat, Huo Wen’an finally felt a bit more comfortable.

The party company personnel set up the birthday scene and then left. Around four o’clock, You Jiaoyang returned home early.

Entering the courtyard, he was surprised to see Xu Xingguang standing next to the delivery truck.

He stopped and nodded at Xu Xingguang, "You’re back?"

Xu Xingguang wasn’t very familiar with You Jiaoyang; although he was part of the family, he seldom got involved in matters between Xu Zeqing and You Jingqiu.

To Xu Xingguang, he seemed like an outsider.

Xu Xingguang felt that You Jiaoyang had a certain something.

"Yes." Xu Xingguang turned to enter the house, and You Jiaoyang followed inside. Upon seeing Huo Wen’an sitting on the living room sofa, holding a cup of tea, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Huo!" You Jiaoyang nearly blurted out the name but stopped himself in time.

Huo Wen’an heard the word "Huo" and looked over at You Jiaoyang puzzled.

Xu Xingguang also turned to look at You Jiaoyang.

"Acquainted?" Xu Xingguang asked You Jiaoyang.

You Jiaoyang smiled and said, "Mom called me earlier, mentioning you brought a boyfriend home." But he didn’t know Xu Xingguang’s boyfriend turned out to be Huo Wen’an.

Huo Wen’an.

The esteemed Pilot of the Huo Family on Divine Concealment Island, coming to Yujiang City? Becoming the reckless young man his mother mentioned?

You Jiaoyang felt tumultuous inside but showed no sign of it.

He set down his briefcase, went to the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee, and returned to his room with it.

Once he was inside, Huo Wen’an suddenly said, "He knows me."

Intuition told Huo Wen’an that You Jiaoyang recognized not the Huo Zui from Cangshan Town, but Huo Wen’an from Divine Concealment Island.

Xu Xingguang misunderstood Huo Wen’an’s true statement, saying, "Perhaps he saw you before somewhere."

"Maybe."

You Mingyue returned home, saw Xu Xingguang and Huo Wen’an, and inevitably recalled the incident at the Xiahou Family when Xu Xingguang had grabbed her hair in threats.

You Mingyue suddenly felt a pain in her scalp.

This time, she played it smart, deciding to ignore them outright.

She didn’t greet them and headed straight upstairs.

Xu Xingguang followed and said, "I have some things in your room I want to take today."

You Mingyue instinctively wanted to argue with Xu Xingguang, but upon turning around and seeing Xu Xingguang’s icy gaze, she immediately chickened out.

You Mingyue opened the room without daring to close the door.

She sat on the bed, watching Xu Xingguang bustling around, organizing her stuff.

Left behind with You Mingyue were only Xu Xingguang’s published novels and some jewelry, bags, and various luxury brand clothing items with tags.

But those clothes had long been untagged and secretly worn by You Mingyue.

Xu Xingguang smelled the scent on the clothes, packed them into the bag in front of You Mingyue, then opened the window and tossed them out, landing steadily beside the courtyard garbage bin.

You Mingyue watched this scene unfold with embarrassment.

"I’ve packed everything, I’m leaving now." Xu Xingguang hung several designer bags on herself, filled with previously bought jewelry, and embraced her published books, leaving You Mingyue’s sight casually.

You Mingyue stared at the expensive branded bags on Xu Xingguang, her expression twisting.

Those bags were classic designs, never going out of style, and could fetch a decent price online secondhand.

Before Xu Xingguang regained consciousness, You Mingyue would sneak them out.

Now there’s no chance.

You Mingyue closed the door forcefully, storming into the dressing room to find Xu Xingguang hadn’t taken all her books.

Xu Xingguang only took her published works; the remaining magazines and piano sheet music stayed behind.

Well, her piano skills were poor, so taking them wouldn’t make a difference.

You Mingyue scooped up the leftover books and tossed them into the trash, but several sheets of music fell out from the piano sheet music book.

Hmm?

You Mingyue picked up the sheet music from the floor, realizing it was handwritten.

Were these piano pieces by Xu Xingguang?

You Mingyue collected them, retrieved the piano sheet music book from the trash.

She sat on the bed, flipping through the piano sheet music, finding many self-composed pieces by Xu Xingguang inside.

Various in size, there were twenty or thirty sheets.

You Mingyue, being a piano prodigy, went through over ten of Xu Xingguang’s works and realized that Xu Xingguang’s compositional skill was continually improving.

This came as quite a surprise.

She had thought Xu Xingguang would be terrible at the piano.

However, compared to herself, Xu Xingguang’s piano achievements were still significantly lacking.

You Mingyue unintentionally picked up another sheet of music, casually glancing, and her eyes changed completely.

This piece, compared to her previous works, was perfectly crafted, comparable to the masters!

"Was this composed independently by Xu Xingguang?" You Mingyue couldn’t believe it.

Even she couldn’t craft such an outstanding piece.

You Mingyue, feeling conflicted, set the sheet music down, her heart in turmoil.

This sheet must have been used by Xu Xingguang before she became a vegetative state.

The self-composed works inside were created by Xu Xingguang before the age of 18.

18-year-old Xu Xingguang was this talented?

You Mingyue was reluctant to accept this as real.

Perhaps Xu Xingguang just burst with inspiration and produced it?

Thinking this way, You Mingyue’s tightly knit brows suddenly relaxed.
