Yin Shaojie took one step forward, and the two drew closer. He stared at her with his penetrating eyes as if he was going to see through her.
Mu Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva nervously as she was debating whether she should confess and plead for leniency.
However, he suddenly said, âYou did something behind my back!â
Mu Xiaoxiao stared blankly, feeling stupid.
Whatâs that supposed to mean?
Even if he had found out that she went to see Lu Yichen, that doesnât count as cheating on him, does it?
Yin Shaojie raised his hand and swiped his finger across her mouth. His finger was stained with white cream. As if he had just found evidence, he said, âYou were eating cake behind my back?â
âUhâ¦â It must have been the leftover stains from just now.
However, she felt relieved. He wasnât talking about her cheating on him behind his back. Instead, he was referring to her eating cake behind his back.
Yin Shaojie brought his finger to his mouth and licked the cream on his finger. âStrawberry cake again? Why do you like strawberry cakes so much?â
Mu Xiaoxiao saw what he did and stared blankly, and her face blushed slightly.
W-why did he have to lick it!
The words, âindirect kissâ, immediately floated in her mind.
Her cheeks instantly grew redder.
Then he scoffed at her and said, âArenât these types of cakes for kids? Youâre really childish.â
âY-youâre the childish one!â Mu Xiaoxiao found her voice as she stammered, concealing her embarrassment. âJust because you donât like desserts, why must others give them up too? Whatâs wrong with strawberry cakes? Did strawberry cakes make you angry? Lots of people like strawberry cakes!â
Hmph, even excellent guys like Lu Yichen likes them!
Just thinking that she had a friend who shared the same interest made her feel better.
âWhy are you blushing?â Yin Shaojie noticed that she was acting odd, especially her evasive expression as she dared to not look him in the eye. He smelled something fishy.
âI wasnât⦠I was angry because of you!â Mu Xiaoxiao feigned a look of exasperation, and she stared at him and said, âIâm telling you. Donât you speak badly of strawberry cakes! Or else, or else⦠Weâll break up!â
She could only feel that her face was burning hot. She then turned around and was about to leave.
Yin Shaojie hastily grabbed her and said, âAlright, alright. I was wrong. Okay?â
Mu Xiaoxiao turned to stare at him and said impatiently, âYou asked me to come here. What for? It canât be just to mock me?â
âOf course not.â Yin Shaojie pinched his eyebrows. He looked at her sternly and said, âOkay. Letâs get on with it. You just said that there are people who didnât treat you well. Who are they? Whatâs her name? What have they done to you?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDidnât I tell you? The girl claimed to be the president of your fan club. You should know her.â Mu Xiaoxiao was agitated again as she recalled the incident. It was all his fault that she had become a public target.
Yin Shaojie rolled his eyes. âIâve told you. Iâm donât care about those things. How would I know anyone from the fan club?â
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, âHer name was Han Xueâer⦠and I donât know about the others.â
âHan Xueâer? Doesnât ring a bell,â Yin Shaojie said indifferently.
âForget it then. In any case, Iâm fine. Iâll just be more careful from now on and avoid them.â Mu Xiaoxiao had not met with such incidents before. Even though she had been fearful then, it didnât seem like a big deal now.
Yin Shaojie stared at her for a while and suddenly said, âWhy donât I tell everyone that youâre my girlfriend? That way, no one will dare to try anything with you again.â
