He didnât speak.
The air became very still suddenly and it was so quiet that everything seemed to have stopped.
Mu Xiaoxiao could hear her heavy breathing clearly.
She was waiting for his answer.
After a long while, Jun Zeye finally opened his mouth to speak. âLet me say it again. Youâre thinking too much.â
Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip in anger before calming herself down. She said to him, âOkay, letâs not talk about this then. I have something else to ask you.â
Luckily, they were alone.
She had a big question she had suppressed for a long time and she didnât want to push it down any longer.
She looked at him, worked up her courage, and decided to ask.
âAre youâ¦â
However, at this moment, a phone rang and interrupted her words.
And it was her phone that was ringing, too.
Mu Xiaoxiao was angry. She really wanted to smash the phone.
But she thought for a moment that it might be Yin Shaojie calling. She said to Jun Zeye, âWait.â
She took out her phone.
It was indeed Yin Shaojie.
âHello.â She answered quickly, trying to settle Yin Shaojie as soon as possible. If she didnât pick up his call, he would definitely think that something was wrong with her and launch a school-wide search for her.
âWhere are you?â Yin Shaojieâs first question showed that he knew that she wasnât in class.
âIâm in school. Alright, are you done checking up on me? Iâm hanging up.â Mu Xiaoxiao sped through her words.
âWait! I havenât finished.â
âHurry up then.â Mu Xiaoxiao rushed him, but saw a shadow move in front of her eyes.
She stood there with her phone in her hands, stunned, before she realized that Jun Zeye was leaving.
She hurried to catch up with him, and called out his name in her panic.
âJun Zeye!â
On the other side of the phone, Yin Shaojie clearly heard her call his name. In a low voice, he asked, âAre you alone with him?â
The words âaloneâ seemed to have been squeezed out of gritted teeth.
Mu Xiaoxiao didnât catch the nuance and said, âIâm busy now. Iâll tell you about it later.â
She hung up.
Then, she dashed after Jun Zeye hurriedly.
âJun Zeye! Stay where you are! I havenât finished!â Mu Xiaoxiao chased him outside.
She didnât want to push it away anymore. She had to get to the bottom of that matter today.
The matter about Ah Zeâ¦
Jun Zeye stopped in his tracks and turned his head slightly. In a low voice, he said, âThere is nothing to talk about.â
âI have something to ask you!â Mu Xiaoxiao chose to ignore his words and moved closer.
Jun Zeye took in a deep breath. His tone was icy as he said frankly, âLet me tell you one last time: Youâre wrong. Also⦠stay away from me in the future.
Stay away from me.
Mu Xiaoxiao hadnât expected him to say this and couldnât help but feel a little sad.
Jun Zeye had been protecting her constantly. Why wouldnât he admit it?
âEven if you deny it, I can tell what the truth is. Iâm not dumb.â
But that wasnât the important thing now.
âI just want to ask you one thingâ¦â
A thing that she absolutely must know the answer to.
âNo comment,â Jun Zeye left her with these words before walking away. His back looked so cold, as though he didnât care what she wanted to ask.
Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip and her eyes filled up with tears. Staring at his back, she shouted suddenly, âAH ZEââ
Jun Zeye stopped in his tracks suddenly.
