âNo thanks, I donât want to raise one,â Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Yin Shaojie reached out to touch her face and looked into her eyes, seeming to know what she was thinking.
He smiled and said, âYou have to take care of me, so where would you find the time to raise a cat?â
Mu Xiaoxiao thumbed her nose at him. âShouldnât you be the one taking care of me instead?â
She knew that he was trying to change the subject.
Yin Shaojie reached out to pull her up. Looping an arm around her shoulders, he said, âYou said it yourself. Since Iâm the one taking care of you, you have to be good and listen to me.â
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. âYouâre using that phrase again. Canât you change it? Iâm not a pet youâre raising.â
Besides, didnât she come over obediently to the Student Union building just like he told her to? Didnât that count as being good?
âYouâre obviously not a pet. Youâre my wife.â Yin Shaojie smiled. Holding her hand, he walked over to the office desk.
However, Yin Shaojieâs attention was evidently not on him. After getting Mu Xiaoxiao a seat, he helped her arrange her ruffled hair.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at him and pursed her lips. Tugging at his shirt, she whispered, âThat cat from earlier was really, really cute.â
Yin Shaojie could tell that she really liked it.
The corners of his mouth tugged upwards in a smirk. âYou want to raise one?â
Mu Xiaoxiao didnât even think and just shook her head. âNo.â
It wasnât that she didnât want to raise one, but she felt that raising a pet needed careful consideration.
Indeed, she really liked little animals, but she knew that she had no patience to take care of pets.
Since she knew what was going to happen, she would rather not raise one from the start.
Yin Shaojie patted her head and smiled. âWhen we get married and have kids, letâs raise a pet.â
He knew that she was reminiscing about the cat she had when she was little.
âUm⦠Presidentâ¦â The boy stammered before speaking up. He walked over slowly and stood before the office desk, speaking in a low voice.
Yin Shaojie finally heard him and looked up at him. âWhat is it?â
The boy smiled and said, âToday.. is Qiyaâs birthday. She says sheâs treating everyone in the Student Union. Everyone wants you to be there if⦠youâre free.â
âTodayâs Qiyaâs birthday?â Yin Shaojie asked. Qiya was one of the department leaders in the Student Union.
Howeverâ¦
Yin Shaojie looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked her, âDo you want to go?â
âDo I have to? Iâm not familiar with any of the Student Union members. I donât want to go. You can go yourself.â Since it was a Student Union event, she obviously wouldnât prevent him from going.
The boy seemed to be afraid that Yin Shaojie would reject him, and said hastily, âWhy would you not be familiar with us? Mu Xiaoxiao, arenât we quite familiar with each other? How can you not be when youâve visited the Student Union building so many times? Join us. The more, the merrier.â
Mu Xiaoxiao did have an impression of this boy. They had indeed met several times before and he gave her a good impression.
She remembered that Qiqing and Song Shijun were also part of the Student Union, and would probably be attending too.
Thus, she agreed.
âAlright, Iâll go then.â
Yin Shaojie paused for a while, seemingly wanting to say something, but he only looked at her and smiled.
