Going to Mt. Akima and back would take up at least three to four hours.
He looked around and his gaze fell upon the outdoor basketball court not far away and he remembered the basketball from earlier.
âPick something youâre good at. Basketball? Do you play basketball?â
Feng Tianqi nodded, âBasketball? Okay. Basketball it is!â
âThen Iâll see you at the basketball court at twelve oâclock!â With that said, Yin Shaojie took Mu Xiaoxiao and left.
After being pulled for a while, Mu Xiaoxiao finally laughed till she bent down at her waist. âJie, youâre too cunning. Youâre so good at basketball, yet youâre still competing against him. Isnât that bullying?â
Yin Shaojie squinted at her and said unhappily, âWhat? Are you upset that Iâm bullying him?â
He didnât mind playing. There werenât many things that he didnât know how to play. But since Feng Tianqi dared to make a bet with him, of course he had to win!
Mu Xiaoxiao hugged his arm and shook her head, saying, âI donât feel upset. Itâs just⦠it doesnât seem very generous of you. It seems like you are bullying a child.â
Yin Shaojie reached out and knocked on her little head. Then he told her the truth, âDummy! Do you think he agreed impulsively? If he isnât good, he would never have agreed to it. He wants to beat me, remember?â
Mu Xiaoxiao batted her eyes. âSo what you mean is that⦠your suggestion just happened to be what he wanted? What if heâs better than you?â
âWhat do you think?â Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth and pinched her little nose.
How could he lose?
Mu Xiaoxiao laughed mischievously, âIâm suddenly looking forward to your game!â
She could enjoy the show again. How awesome!
Indeed, it was more fun to be back in China.
Before the two reached the Student Union building, Yin Shaojieâs phone rang several times. Knowing that he was going to the meeting, Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and said, âIâm not going with you. The meeting is boring. Go there yourself. Iâll go back to the classroom for a while to get something.â
âNo, you have to stay with me or else I wonât feel at ease.â After all the things that happened previously, he was afraid that she might get into trouble if he wasnât watching her.
âIâm not a kid anymore. Whatâs there to worry about? Plus, Iâm in school. I wonât wander about. You canât take me with you every day, can you?â Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him.
Although she liked to stay with him, they couldnât always be together, could they?
Yin Shaojie thought for a moment. Then, he reached a compromise. âOkay. Go to the classroom. Once school ends, come to the Student Union building and find me, okay?â
Mu Xiaoxiao saluted and said with a bright smile, âYes, sir!â
Thus, the two separated.
Mu Xiaoxiao skipped cheerfully as she went to Year Oneâs building.
Along the hallway, she breathed in the air. The path had light purple orchids planted along both sides. They were very beautiful and smelled really good, putting her in a good mood.
Although she hadnât been in school for very long, she had missed it.
At the door to Year Oneâs Class S.
The teacher was teaching when Mu Xiaoxiao entered and said with a smile, âIâm here, teacher!â
The whole class turned to look at her.
As everyone watched her, Mu Xiaoxiao went to her seat.
Eh?
Why was there someone sitting at her seatâ¦
