Feng Tianqi ran too quickly!
Qian Qian touched her hand and looked at her, reluctant to part. She asked, âSister, are you leaving?â
âNo. Letâs keep playing, okay?â Mu Xiaoxiao laughed.
Qian Qian clapped her hands happily. âOkay okay!â
â¦
The next day.
Mu Xiaoxiao didnât go to school today. She had decided to sleep in.
There was a buzzing sound coming from beside her.
Her little hand felt around the bed. She felt the cell phone. Her eyes not yet open, she answered the call.
âHelloâ¦â she said in a languid, soft voice.
âAre you awake?â Yin Shaojieâs voice came from over the phone, his subwoofer-like magnetic voice was simply the best sound to wake up to.
The corner of her lips turned up and her dreary eyes opened a little.
She reached out her little hands, that were like white jade, and stretched.
âI just woke up.â
Yin Shaojie chuckled. It was as if he could imagine her being like a languid kitten, and he urged her, âGet up quickly and have breakfast. If you donât get up soon, itâll be lunchtime soon.â
âOkay.â Mu Xiaoxiao gave a soft reply.
âCome on. Iâll give you five minutes. The weather is very good today. Get up and bask in the sun. Got it?â
âMm, got itâ¦â Mu Xiaoxiao mumbled in an obviously perfunctory manner.
âAfter five minutes, Iâll call again,â he said.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, acting like a spoiled child as she said, âTen minutes, alrightâ¦â
âOkay, ten minutes.â
The conversation dragged on shortly before they hung up.
Mu Xiaoxiao reached out and grabbed the pillow beside her. She buried her little face into the pillow. She could still smell Yin Shaojieâs manly scent with a hint of peppermint.
It smelled so good!
The corner of her lips turned up in a warm smile. She closed her eyes and rested for a while.
Ten minutes later, the cell phone rang again.
Mu Xiaoxiao grabbed the cell phone, and she answered it without even checking the caller ID.
However, she hadnât expected Yin Shaojie to make a video call.
When she opened her eyes, she saw his handsome face in front of her and it gave her a scare.
âWhy are you scaring me?â she grumbled.
Seeing her messy look, Yin Shaojie was unsure whether to laugh or cry. âMu Xiaoxiao. Look at you. You look so funny I could die!â
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. She looked at the corner on her cell phone screen which showed how she looked.
âWhoa! Why is my hair so messy?â she exclaimed. She quickly covered the cell phone and adjusted her hair.
Yin Shaojieâs laughter was heard from the phone. âHavenât I seen you at your worst? Hurry up and pick up the cell phone.â
âNo!â Mu Xiaoxiao said, covering her hair with her hand.
âThen hurry up and go have breakfast.â Just when Yin Shaojie finished saying that, there was some other sound on his end. It was probably someone looking to talk to him.
Mu Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to grab the cell phone and turn off the video call. Afterwards she got out of bed.
The next second, the cell phone vibrated again.
Seeing that it was a video call again, she declined the call before dialing back.
âJust make a normal call. Why do you have to make a video call?â she asked.
âSo that you can wake up. Are you more awake now?â Yin Shaojie was talking to her but he was also talking to someone else Xiaoxiao couldnât see.
Mu Xiaoxiao could tell that he was busy, so she said in a soft tone, âIâm up. You can go and attend to your thing.â
âItâs nothing. I want to hear your voice, canât I?â
