Mu Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed to say it. âIâll tell you about it at night.â
âSo youâre punishing him?â Han Qiqing cupped her hand over her mouth as she laughed. Her shoulders shook with mirth as she saw Yin Shaojie looking beaten in the car.
She remembered that when they were kids, Yin Shaojie suffered when Xiaoxiao got really angry.
Mu Xiaoxiao grabbed her hand and said, âLetâs go, letâs go. Weâll talk when weâre inside.
Yin Shaojie stared at her all this while. There was resentment in his gaze, as though he were a little puppy which had been abandoned.
She couldnât stand to see him any longer. She was afraid that if she continued to look, her heart would soften.
Han Qiqing glanced towards Yin Shaojie on purpose before holding Xiaoxiaoâs hand and entering her house.
Yin Shaojie sat in the car, watching them enter the house.
His car was stationary for a long time.
After a while, the butler rushed out. He had a surprised look on his face as he walked towards the car, and knocking on its window, he said respectfully, âYoung Master Jieâ¦â
Yin Shaojie did a shushing gesture before lowering his window and saying something to him.
The butler nodded as he listened.
â¦
At night.
After Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing showered, they donned similar pajamas and lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling.
The pair conversed casually, and then spoke about their childhood.
Han Qiqing turned over, cupping her face with a hand. Looking at Mu Xiaoxiao, she asked, âXiaoxiao, are you really angry at Yin Shaojie this time?â
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said, âNot reallyâ¦â
Han Qiqing smiled suddenly. âI remember when we were young, there was this time when you were really angry with him. You ignored him for a few days and even pretended not to know him. Whenever he came to look for you, you would ask him who he was on purpose while you played with the other classmates happily. It were as though you had forgotten him, and it caused him to be so furious. Itâs very amusing whenever I recall it.â
Actually, she felt more envious than amused.
She was envious that she had a person that she could be a get with.
Upon hearing her words, Mu Xiaoxiaoâs mind was cast back to when she was a child, and she felt that her behavior was childish.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said uncomprehendingly, âI think that my personality is good. But whenever I meet Yin Shaojie, I just become⦠How do I say this, easily angered?â
Han Qiqing smiled as she cast a sideways glance and teased, âIsnât this called âmaking trouble without reasonâ?â
Actually, calling it âmaking trouble without reasonâ was a little excessive. Xiaoxiao wasnât a person who caused trouble without any basis. Her had her reasons, even if she only got a little angry.
Mu Xiaoxiao knew that she was joking and threw a pillow at her.
âI donât make trouble without reason! I obviously have my own justifications!â
Han Qiqing said suggestively, âYeah, yeah, yeah. Arenât you really reliant on Yin Shaojieâs pampering?â
âSince when has he pampered me? He was always bantering with me and liked to oppose whatever I said. Since when has he pampered me?â Mu Xiaoxiao was unhappy at these words. Things were obviously not like that!
Han Qiqingâs eyes were narrowed halfway. âYou call this not pampering you? My goodness, Xiaoxiao, do you have a heart?â
âWhat! Youâre only seeing what happens on the surface. You donât know how we interact with each other when weâre alone. So you know how much Yin Shaojie likes to provoke me?â
âHe just likes to tease you because he likes to see you angery because of him.â Han Qiqing laid the situation bare with these words.
