The next evening.

Yan Qianyi arrived at Mai Hunter’s house.

Mai Hunter had invited her, but she originally declined.

However, Mai Hunter said it was his birthday, and she felt bad declining again, so she brought a gift.

After entering the house, she saw that Mai Hunter’s ho was decorated warmly and romantically.

"Teacher really has a sense for atmosphere."

"It’s been a long ti since I celebrated my birthday, and I happen to be on leave, so I decided to celebrate."

"Happy Birthday, this is the birthday gift I prepared for you," Yan Qianyi handed over a wooden box.

Mai Hunter’s eyes lit up, "What’s the good stuff?"

"dicine."

"..."

Yan Qianyi awkwardly smiled, "Giving dicine might seem a bit inappropriate, but I find flashy gifts impractical, and you probably lack nothing, so I thought I’d give you sothing practical that you could use."

Mai Hunter opened it to find several small bottles inside.

The small bottles all had labels, so for strengthening the body and others for beautifying and nourishing the skin.

"I love it!" Mai Hunter joyfully said, "dicine from the Masked Divine Doctor is priceless, especially this beauty and skin nourishing type, it’s exactly what I needed!"

Yan Qianyi smiled, "I’m glad you like it, this beauty and skin nourishing type will make your skin look great!"

She noticed that Teacher Mai usually liked to look good, so she thought he would definitely appreciate this type of dicine.

Mai Hunter carefully put away the wooden box, feeling like he had found a treasure.

If soone else had given him dicine, he would have definitely been furious.

But coming from the Masked Divine Doctor, it was a different story entirely.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

A sly glint flashed in Mai Hunter’s eyes, "Qianyi, could you help open the door? I’m still frying steaks in the kitchen."

With that, Mai Hunter headed into the kitchen.

Yan Qianyi went to the door and opened it, her heart skipping a beat when she saw Mu Yunlie standing there.

Teacher Mai had not told her that Mu Yunlie would also be coming tonight.

Seeing that Mu Yunlie appeared very calm, Yan Qianyi also tried to stay composed, giving him a nod as a greeting.

In the romantically decorated living room, it was just the two of them.

Both sat on the sofa without saying a word.

Yan Qianyi found it sowhat awkward and dared not look at Mu Yunlie.

The last ti he had left her house, he was in a bad mood.

But now he seed very calm.

Had he already adjusted his feelings, able to treat her just as a friend now?

She sotis could not read Mu Yunlie’s emotions.

He was too unpredictable.

Yan Qianyi felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles and stood up, "I’m going to see if there’s anything I can help with in the kitchen."

Saying that, she hurried off to the kitchen.

Inside the kitchen, she saw Mai Hunter transferring steaks from delivery boxes onto a plate.

"Teacher, you ordered takeout?"

The sudden noise startled Mai Hunter, causing him to almost drop the steak.

He looked up at Yan Qianyi, "Why did you co here?"

"Mu... Teacher Mu is here."

"Oh, I invited him. Go entertain him, don’t leave him sitting there alone, it’s impolite."

Yan Qianyi frowned, "Teacher..."

"Isn’t this deliberately making it difficult for her?"

Seeing Yan Qianyi’s discomfort, Mai Hunter laughed and said, "Who said exes can’t be friends? Be generous, it’s no big deal."

Yan Qianyi bit her lip and said nothing.

If she had already let go of Mu Yunlie in her heart, she would have been able to face him as a friend.

But now she couldn’t, and couldn’t face him calmly.

"Fine, if you don’t want to go, forget it. Anyway, you’ve discovered that I can’t cook, so co help with the plating, and we’ll start dinner early."

"Okay."

Yan Qianyi washed her hands and ca forward to help. "Since you can’t cook, why not simply eat out?"

Just now he had lied, claiming there was still a steak frying in the pan.

Indeed, a man’s mouth is a deceitful ghost.

Mai Hunter said, "Eating out lacks atmosphere, birthdays should be celebrated at ho."

"If you had said so earlier, I would have brought Aunt Xue to help cook. She’s a great cook."

"No need, I bought these from a restaurant, and their food tastes pretty good too."

Yan Qianyi asked, "That... How did you and Teacher Mu beco so close?"

She rembered that when Mu Yunlie was teaching at school, he didn’t get along well with Mai Hunter.

"I invited him today mainly to thank him."

"Thank him for what?"

"I’ll tell you later, first help carry these out."

After Yan Qianyi helped bring all the dishes to the table, Mai Hunter called to Mu Yunlie, who was sitting on the sofa, "Teacher Mu, you can co sit now."

Yan Qianyi whispered to Mai Hunter, "Is there no one else?"

"No, there isn’t, co sit."

With just the three of them, Yan Qianyi felt sothing was off.

As Mai Hunter was about to sit down, seeing that Yan Qianyi and Mu Yunlie were sitting far apart, he thought for a mont, then pulled out a chair closer to Yan Qianyi and said,

"Teacher Mu, I’m sorry, but that seat is where I usually sit. I’m used to sitting there, so please sit here."

Mu Yunlie nodded lightly and moved to sit over.

Mai Hunter smiled satisfactorily and said, "Co on, let’s have a toast. Qianyi, if you can’t drink alcohol, have so juice."

Yan Qianyi picked up the juice, "Happy birthday, Teacher."

"No, no, no, the first toast shouldn’t be wishing a happy birthday," Mai Hunter shook his head. "Qianyi, our first toast should be to thank Teacher Mu. If it weren’t for him, your leave of absence application would never have been approved."

Yan Qianyi looked puzzledly towards Mu Yunlie.

Just as her gaze t Mu Yunlie’s eyes, she hastily shifted her gaze away.

Mai Hunter continued, "Teacher Mu spoke specifically to Lord Commander on behalf of your leave application. It was only because of his influence that you were granted the permission. We really need to thank him."

Yan Qianyi was stunned, her gaze again turned towards Mu Yunlie, and she couldn’t quite describe the feeling in her heart.

She had hurt him, yet he was still silently helping her.

Mu Yunlie was also looking at her, their gazes intertwining in the air.

Mai Hunter secretly chuckled and lightly tapped the screen of his bracelet. A gentle and romantic violin tune flowed through the living room speakers.

The sudden music snapped Yan Qianyi out of her thoughts.

She tried to lift the corners of her lips into a slight smile. "Thank... Thank you, Teacher Mu."

Mu Yunlie also smiled lightly. "You’re welco."

Mai Hunter: "???"

What the hell is ’you’re welco’?

That wasn’t the line he had given Mu Yunlie!

He had told Mu Yunlie to say, "For you, I’m willing to do anything, whatever your heart desires, even if it ans climbing mountains or diving into seas of fire, I will fulfill it for you."

Combined with a deeply affectionate gaze and Mu Yunlie’s infuriatingly handso face, no woman could resist, and it would definitely move her to tears.

Especially since Yan Qianyi still held feelings for Mu Yunlie.
