âTwo is too many. I canât finish them,â she looked at him and said.
Lu Yichen smiled slightly and touched his nose in an awkward manner. Then he said with an embarrassed expression, âActually⦠one is for me.â
âEh?â Mu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised as she thought of something. As she looked at him, her eyes bulged, and she cried in surprise, âCould it be⦠that the strawberry cakes you bought last time were all for yourself? I thoughtâ¦â
I thought that he had bought it for his girlfriend.
But I didnât think that he would buy it for himself.
It was unusual to see guys who liked to eat desserts. Whatâs more, strawberry cake was a popular dessert among young girls.
Though Lu Yichen looked embarrassed, he still nodded his head in admission and said, âThatâs right.â
Upon solving the mystery, Mu Xiaoxiao laughed heartily. She gave a piece to him and started eating jovially.
âYou should eat too. I never thought that we would have the same tastes. Perhaps this is fate?â
He was the first friend that she had made in Shangde, and fate had brought them together because of strawberry cakes. Who knew that this was more than just a chance meeting.
Perhaps it was on the day that they had played truant that Lu Yichen had a huge change in attitude towards her. He was friendlier. It was unlike the distance between them at the start.
âOh yeah. Thereâs something I want to tell you,â Lu Yichen said.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly finished the strawberry cake, and her mouth was all stained with cream. Then, she attempted to lick the stains off her mouth like a child as she muttered, âWhat is it?â
Lu Yichen saw her childish look, and he couldnât help but laugh. From his pocket, he drew out a tissue and passed it to her. âWipe your face with this.â
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. âLu Yichen, are you really a guy? You actually carry tissues! My god! Youâre the first guy Iâve seen who brings tissues! Youâre really a rare breed!â
Lu Yichen found her exaggerated expression to be amusing, and his smile grew broader.
âIs that a compliment? If it is, Iâll accept it. Thank you.â
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him with intrigue, and she said humorously, âSo you joke too.â
Lu Yichen smiled faintly with pursed lips.
It had been a long time since he had last joked. But the words just came naturally when he spoke to her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat did you want to say earlier?â Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Lu Yichen looked at her with his deep brown eyes, and he said, âThe school has rehired the security guard.â
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. âIs that true? Thatâs great!â
She was feeling happy. She knew that it had to be Yin Shaojie pulling the strings. Earlier, he had been talking proudly about how he wouldnât give anyone a second chance after firing them. Now, he had slapped himself in the face.
Frankly, Young Master Jie would never do something like that.
However, he did it for her.
The more she thought about it, the happier and sweeter she felt.
Suddenly, she recalled that Yin Shaojie was looking for her and felt strangely worried. That rascal couldnât still be waiting for her, could he?
But why wouldnât he spare a thought. He was still threatening me with consequences. No one would want to go after hearing that.
But Mu Xiaoxiao had forgotten that Yin Shaojie had a habit of speaking in that overbearing manner. It was normal to him because no one around him would dare to defy him.
Lu Yichen looked at the time. Lessons had already started, and he asked, âWhat class are you having now? Donât you have to go?â
