The atmosphere was a bit subtle. Su Mu stood there stupidly, not knowing what to do.

He felt that he should explain. He thought for a while and was about to speak when he saw the man took out his phone and typed on the screen.

He sneaked a glance and saw the two numbers 11 being entered. He took a breath in fright. Without thinking, he immediately rushed over and said anxiously: “Wait a minute, I’m a good person, I can explain, please don’t call the police!”

This time he jumped towards the man in a haste, and although the man managed to dodge sideways, the phone was knocked out of his hand.

Fortunately, Su Mu reacted quickly and reached out to catch the phone agilely in mid-air, avoiding the tragedy of it falling to the ground.

He didn’t care about anything else and immediately looked down at the screen. Seeing that the number hadn’t been dialed, he let out a long sigh of relief.

The cold voice rang out again, “Do you still dare to rob?”

“No, no, I’m really a resident of this community. I just moved here not long ago and I’m not very familiar with the area yet. Besides, I’m not good at finding my way at night, and when I came up just now, I didn’t pay much attention…”

He quickly explained for a long time. Seeing that the man still had a cold expression, he hurriedly took out his phone and opened the property management app of the community: “Look, I also have access to this community. I’m really not a bad person. If you don’t believe me, you can come with me to my place. It’s located… it’s located…”

Uh, wait… Where is his home exactly?

Su Mu was momentarily stuck and looked a bit embarrassed.

The surrounding air suddenly dropped, and when he met the other party’s impatient gaze, he couldn’t help shivering, and his mind suddenly became sober.

“Wait, wait, I remember now, I have a photo!” Su Mu quickly opened his photo album and found the picture he took when he left at noon. He pointed to the building in the photo and said, “Today, I was afraid of getting lost, so I took this picture. But when I came in just now, I didn’t look carefully. I saw a flowerbed at the entrance and went in… Look, this is my building, and I live on the 20th floor above it…”

He was trying hard to explain when Grandpa Su’s call suddenly came in.

In his excitement, he accidentally put the call on speaker, and Grandpa Su’s loud voice suddenly rang out in the corridor.

“Have you gone in?” Grandpa Su was worried about him, so he deliberately called at this time.

Su Mu embarrassingly switched the call back to the receiver mode. He was afraid that the old man would be worried, so he whispered into the phone: “I’m in, I’m in. Grandpa, please rest early!”

After hearing the words, Grandpa Su replied with an ‘en’, and after muttering a few more words, he hung up.

Su Mu put away his phone and turned around to continue explaining to the that man, but when he turned around, he saw the other person’s beautiful phoenix eyes staring at him meaningfully.

He was a little terrified by that gaze and unconsciously took a step back, murmuring in a low voice: “I’m really not a thief…”

Ignoring him, the young man stepped forward, snatched the phone from him unceremoniously, then turned around and entered the room. The movements were neat and done in one go.

With a loud ‘bang’, the door was resolutely closed in front of Su Mu’s face.

Su Mu stood there stupidly for a moment. After a while, he finally realized the situation and hurriedly entered the elevator and pressed the button. He ran out as if he was escaping.

When he got downstairs, Su Mu dug out the photo and examined it carefully, and then found that his building was right in front of this one. Both buildings looked very similar in structure, and both also has a flowerbed at the entrance. It was hard to distinguish them at a glance.

But after such an episode, he felt that he wouldn’t get them wrong again…

Su Mu wearily entered the elevator. The electronic lock on the front door was very efficient. After scanning his fingerprint, the door opened with a ‘beep’.

After all the trouble, he finally made it inside. Right now, he wasn’t in the mood to pack his things. He grabbed a clean set of pajamas from the closet and went directly to the bathroom to take a hot shower.

After washing, he felt much better, and the whole incident was pushed to the back of his mind.

He wandered around the room and began to sort out the belongings of the original owner.

In one of the cabinets, he found many brand-new items, including several sets of clean bedsheets and covers, all washed and still has a faint smell of laundry detergent. However, the size was for a single bed, not the size of the bedroom’s larger bed.

Recalling what Grandpa Su had said, Su Mu guessed that these items were prepared by the original owner for his enrollment at the Imperial University.

He picked out a dark-colored bedsheet from the inside and then gathered some of the things needed for dormitory life and put them in his luggage. By the time he finished, it was already 10 o’clock in the evening.

Su Mu turned off the light in the living room and went back to the bedroom carrying the original owner’s computer and phone.

There is no privacy in the era of big data. People can easily pry on other people’s living habits and personalities through various social media.

He dug out all the social media accounts in the original owner’s electronic devices and when he encountered any useful information, he immediately noted them down in a hard-covered notebook.

Su Mu, 20 years old, has a good family background, his parents are divorced, his grades are not very good, he was studying in an unknown university abroad, and he only returned to China in early March this year. He has no friends in the country, but he has a pre-arranged fiancé. However, the two were not familiar with each other and have never been in contact…

Speaking of this fiancé, it was quite mysterious.

Su Mu flipped through the original owner’s phone and computer, but couldn’t find any information about her. Not to mention photos and WeChat, right now, he doesn’t even know the name of this person.

According to reason, since the two were arranged to marry each other since childhood, and the two old people of their families were old acquaintances, there shouldn’t be no trace of her…

Su Mu frowned, thinking over every word Sun Hao had said to him before leaving. After a while, he suddenly realized.

The original owner must have had an unrequited love, or it could be described as wishful thinking. The girl didn’t like him and had been avoiding him, which explained why they hadn’t been in contact for so many years. After all, arranged marriages like this were not always reliable, similar to the matchmaking in ancient times…

But speaking of unrequited love, when he checked his social media accounts, he found that this ‘Su Mu’ person had a somewhat withdrawn personality. From some early posts, it could be seen that he was sensitive, even a little timid, and didn’t like to make friends with others. Such a person would resolutely run back to the country because of an illusory arranged marriage that might have just been casually mentioned by the adults, even to the extent of not hesitating to fall out with his mother and having conflicts with his family over it…

What kind of goddess is this, who could make the original owner never forget of her for so many years, and even do such a daring and outrageous thing in a daze!

Sun Hao had also mentioned that this person had many suitors…

Su Mu pick up the pen and quickly wrote the word “Goddess” after Fiancé in the notebook.

Sun Hao arrived downstairs at Su Mu’s apartment building early in the morning. He didn’t drive a sports car this time, changing to a relatively low-key SUV. After parking the car aside, he sent a WeChat message to the other party with a cigarette in his mouth, urging him to go downstairs quickly.

He didn’t have deep feelings for Su Mu. Although they were both relatives, the two of them hadn’t seen each other for several years, and they didn’t know each other very well. If it wasn’t for his Second Grandfather’s words, he wouldn’t have the kindness to send someone to school.

Furthermore, he didn’t have any classes this morning. If it wasn’t for Su Mu, he could have just slept in.

Thinking of being picked up as a driver early in the morning, and thinking about how the other person was carrying big bags and small bags when he returned to China, Sun Hao stubbed out his cigarette angrily and got out of the car.

The morning air was pleasant, with the sunlight just right, and a gentle breeze blowing, making people feel cool and comfortable.

Sun Hao put out the cigarette, locked the car, and was about to head towards the entrance, but when he looked up, he saw someone walking towards him briskly, dragging a black suitcase.

The person was thin, with fair skin and handsome features. He was wearing a white T-shirt and his slender and straight legs were wrapped in light blue jeans. From a distance, he looked inexplicably familiar.

Su Mu originally thought that he would have trouble sleeping since he came to a strange world, but unexpectedly, he slept until dawn without even having a dream.

He had a good night’s sleep, and in the morning, he took a stroll around the community. Now, he felt energetic and was completely different from the weak and sickly appearance yesterday.

He saw Sun Hao standing by the car door at a glance. He hurriedly dragged his suitcase and walked over to him.

“Sorry,” Su Mu smiled apologetically. In fact, he came down 20 minutes earlier than the agreed time, but the traffic this morning was relatively smooth, so Sun Hao arrived early too.

Sun Hao was in a trance for a moment. After a while, he stared at Su Mu’s short hair with a complicated expression.

Su Mu’s hair was soft in texture, but he had a lot of it. When he used to have shoulder-length hair, he looked both effeminate and sickly, and he wasn’t appealing in the least. Anyway, he didn’t like it. But now, with the short hair, thinned sideburns, and a clean cut style, it revealed his fair ears and beautiful face shape. The 4:6 bangs naturally fell just above his eyebrows, revealing a full and beautiful forehead. In addition, he’s not wearing any strange designer clothes today, but he’s full of energy and looking lively, which instantly caught Sun Hao’s attention.

Sun Hao stroked his chin and thought to himself: No wonder they say hair is like a second face. With this new hairstyle, he looks much more pleasing to the eye.

After he finished feeling, he looked at the lone luggage beside Su Mu’s feet and asked suspiciously, “It’s just this one luggage?”

Su Mu nodded and then handed the soy milk in his hand to Sun Hao: “I bought this while taking a stroll in the community this morning. Their soy milk is pretty good, try it.”

Sun Hao was really shocked this time. He hadn’t had breakfast and was practically dragged out of the house by his mother early in the morning.

He really didn’t expect this gloomy cousin of his, whose emotional intelligence was below the average and usually doesn’t say much, to have such a friendly and warm side. For a moment, Sun Hao stood there, unable to react.

Su Mu didn’t notice his distraction and picked up the luggage, placing it in the car’s trunk.

Sun Hao noticed him struggling with it and remembered his mother saying that this little romantic guy isn’t in good health, so he quickly reached out and took it from Su Mu, easily putting it in the car.

Su Mu thanked him embarrassingly. This body was indeed too weak. Although he didn’t have much muscle to begin with, but he was much stronger than this fragile body that couldn’t shoulder or carry anything.

It seems that he have to train properly when he gets back.

After the two got into the car, Sun Hao didn’t rush to drive. Instead, he took a sip of the warm soy milk through the straw. After taking a sip, his hungry stomach instantly felt much better, and his expression also relaxed.

Imperial University wasn’t too far from Su Mu’s place, only about a 20-minute drive.

The campus was located in the central area of the university town. It had a long history and was one of the top universities in the country. The facilities and buildings inside were considered to be the No. 1 in the entire city.

The university covers a large area and has beautiful surroundings. Su Mu tilted his head, staring enthusiastically at the scenery inside the campus.

Although his previous school had a good environment too, with mountains, forests, and water, but compared to the school in front of him, it was far inferior.

Seeing that he was excited, Sun Hao wanted to tease him, but when he saw the soy milk next to him, he decided to keep his mouth shut.

He parked the car near the Academic Affairs Building and took the files Grandpa Su had given him, directly leading Su Mu to the 5th floor.

The old man was well aware of the weight of his grandson, so he didn’t dare to send him to those science departments with high professional requirements, instead, he sent him to the Institute of International Relations under the Social Sciences Department.

The dean of International Relations was a middle-aged woman with a good temperament, surnamed Yan, who seemed a bit serious. She took the information handed over by Sun Hao, glanced at the name, and then made a phone call without even looking at him.

After a while, a woman in her thirties walked in from the outside.

“Su Mu, this is your department advisor, Xu Ling. She will take you to the dormitory later.”

Su Mu politely greeted Xu Ling, “Hello, Teacher Xu.”

Compared to Dean Yan’s aloofness, Xu Ling was much more enthusiastic. After seeing Su Mu’s appearance, her eyes lit up, and she nodded in response with a smile.

Dean Yan didn’t keep them for long. After briefly explaining the school’s requirements, she sent them away.

After leaving the office, Xu Ling didn’t take him to the dormitory immediately, but first went to the Academic Affairs Office to complete some formalities.

Worried that Sun Hao might get impatient, Su Mu thought for a while and said to him, “I don’t think I have much left to do here. You can go back now, thanks for your help!”

Sun Hao narrowed his eyes and glared at him, “With all those books, if I don’t accompany you, how will you carry them back to your dormitory? Don’t mind me, I’ll leave if I want to leave!”

Su Mu’s heart warmed. He felt that although Sun Hao looked fierce, he was actually a good person.

“By the way, Second Grandpa also said that while you’re at school, don’t go around using his name to bother others, specially that person. If he finds out that you’re causing trouble or being pushy, he’ll pack you up and send you back abroad!”

Su Mu quickly nodded, “Don’t worry, I promise to stay in school honestly. I won’t cause trouble, won’t make a fuss, and certainly won’t pester her. Even if I see her on campus, I’ll treat her like a stranger and won’t do anything crazy.”

Sun Hao looked at him half-believingly.

Su Mu’s eyes were sincere, as if he wanted to swear an oath in front of him.

He couldn’t go back abroad. The original owner had been living with his mother for more than ten years. She would know at a glance that he was fake!

If he was found to be a transmigrator, he might be thrown into some research institute or mental hospital for a brain autopsy like in a horror movie…

Just thinking about that scene made Su Mu shudder.

What fiancé, what goddess, when it comes to freedom and life, he’d rather stay away from all that mess!
