However, she didnât know why but she had an inexplicable feeling that the person hiding inside was most likely Jun Zeye.
Once she found him, wouldnât that mean that sheâd uncover what was wrong with him?
Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated for about ten more seconds before reaching out and switching on the light to the equipment room.
Luckily, she had played truant here a few times before and was thus very familiar with this place.
She was on high alert as she walked over slowly.
âHello?â
It felt as if she was greeting the empty air.
There was a moment where Mu Xiaoxiao thought that she might have really misheard the noise from outside. However, her instincts told her that she hadnât. How could she have misheard? She had obviously heard the ring of a cellphone!
Mu Xiaoxiao circled the place but found no trace of anyone at all.
She even checked the passageway at the back but found no one.
Could the person have slipped out the back?
Mu Xiaoxiao had the feeling that something was not right. She felt a little nervous as well and thus decided to leave.
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks.
Her gaze fell to the floor.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled by what she saw. She walked briskly out the door abruptly before jerking her head up to look at the ceiling.
A dark shadow jumped down suddenly and seemed to sigh exasperatedly.
âJun Zeye?â Mu Xiaoxiao exclaimed after she got a good look at the person.
Before Jun Zeye could open his mouth to speak, she rushed over and looked at him with concern. âAre you injured?â
She only realized that there was someone hiding on the ceiling when she noticed the blood on the floor.
She didnât expect it to be him.
That meant that he was injured.
âNo,â Jun Zeye said mildly. He turned away and put on his shirt quickly.
He didnât know if she had seen the bandage on his chest. It should have been hidden by his shirt before he put it on.
Mu Xiaoxiao hadnât seen it. She only saw a blur as he put on his shirt.
His backâ¦
She seemed to have caught a blurry image of something.
âYouâ¦â She felt a little confused and stupefied, and stared at him for a while, stunned. It was only then that she remembered what she wanted to ask him. âYou must be hurt. There was blood on the floor. Donât pretend itâs not there.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âItâs not mine.â Jun Zeye insisted.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. âLift up your shirt and show me then.â
Jun Zeye stared at her. His cold and hard gaze was terror-inspiring, as though he were trying to force her to back off.
However, it didnât work on Mu Xiaoxiao. Instead, she said with certainty in her voice, âYouâre hurt, right? If not, why wonât you lift up your shirt and show me?â
Jun Zeye looked at her with his dark eyes. In a cool tone, he said, âDoes your boyfriend know that youâre entangling yourself with another guy like this?â
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs eyes widened. âW-What are you talking about! Entangling⦠Since when did I entangle myself with you! Iâm only concerned about you!â
âI donât need your concern.â Jun Zeyeâs rejection was cool.
âYouâ¦â Mu Xiaoxiao didnât know what to do with him. She said frustratedly, âYouâre such a weird person. You saved me before, so youâre my savior. Canât I show some concern for you? Furthermore, Iâm not dumb. I know youâve been looking out for me recently.
Her words pierced the metaphorical veil as she laid down all her cards.
âYouâre thinking too much.â Jun Zeye lifted his gaze and stared at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her chin and said huffily, âIâm not thinking too much! Youâre scared that KO will kidnap me, right? Didnât you get injured because of KO? Did he get someone to jump on you or did you go looking for him?â
