Yin Shaojie remembered what had happened during the accident. Even though his life hadnât been in danger, it was the dire situation he had encountered until then.
His heart softened involuntarily.
Yin Shaojie leaned over and caressed her cheek with his warm, large hands. His magnetic voice coaxed gently, âAlright, I wonât go to the race. Is this okay now?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou said it yourself.â Mu Xiaoxiao said. Her dark eyes were still a little teary as she looked into his.
Yin Shaojie used his fingers to caress her face. Nodding, he said, âSince when have I broken a promise to you?â
They looked at each other and smiled.
Beside them, Feng Tianqi was hopping mad when he heard this. He pointed at Yin Shaojie and said, âHey! How can you go back on your word? Didnât you say that you werenât going to back out? Youâre not a man of your word!â
Before Yin Shaojie could reply, Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head swiftly. Glaring at Feng Tianqi, she said tyrannically, âHeâs my man. Nothing he promises you counts before he obtains my permission.â
It was Feng Tianqiâs first time encountering such a situation, and he was stunned by how matter-of-factly she stated it. It made him temporarily speechless.
Mu Xiaoxiao crossed her arms as she looked at him and asked, âDo you still want to be my friend?â
Feng Tianqi nodded. âYesâ¦â
âIf so, give me some face, okay?â Mu Xiaoxiao said amicably.
Feng Tianqi looked at Yin Shaojieâs expression. Like him, he reached a compromise with Mu Xiaoxiao and said, âOkay.â
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at him. âThanks!â
âSo are we friends now?â Feng Tianqi smiled. He thought for a while before saying, âIâll transfer to Shangde after I return home from this race, okay? Which class are you in? I forgot what class my mom placed me in previously.â
âIâm inâ¦â Mu Xiaoxiao was about to speak when Yin Shaojie cupped his hands over her mouth, giving her a look of displeasure.
She changed her tune immediately and said to Feng Tianqi, âItâs very troublesome to transfer schools, so I donât think you should. We donât have to go to the same school to be friends, right?â
âItâs not troublesome at all. My mom wanted me to study at Shangde anyway. She even tricked me into going there at the start of school but I escaped. I keep having the feeling that she has some kind of scheme up her sleeve, so I keep trying to foil her plans,â Feng Tianqi said. He seemed to talk about his mom like she were his enemy.
âIf you transfer to Shangde again wouldnât it be in line with your momâs wishes?â
She thought that he had an interesting relationship with his mom which she admired.
Upon hearing this, Feng Tianqi felt a little conflicted. âOh yeah, wouldnât I fall into her trap? But I still havenât figured out what sheâs planning.â
âWhy are you so sure that your mom has ulterior motives?â Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
âShe just does! I can tell from one glance. She canât trick me,â Feng Tianqi said with a determined look on his face.
This roused Mu Xiaoxiaoâs curiosity. She suddenly wanted to know what his mom was planning for him.
âI suddenly feel like getting to know your mom. She must be a very interesting person.â
âCome over to my house after you return to China. My mom will like you a lot.â Feng Tianqi extended a warm invitation to her.
