Itâs not really thatâ¦â Mu Xiaoxiao said moodily and sighed.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and said tyrannically, âIâll give you a chance now. Are you going to tell me everything or wait for me to question you?â
Mu Xiaoxiao didnât want to keep it from him either, but the crowd was all ears, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation, which made her feel uncomfortable.
She tugged at him. âLetâs walk faster. Iâll tell you when we get back.â
âOkay.â Yin Shaojie nodded. Holding her hand, he started to run.
âWait! Donât run!â She wasnât feeling great now and didnât want to run.
Yin Shaojie slowed down. Looking at her, he asked, âDoes it still hurt?â
Mu Xiaoxiao shook his head. âIt doesnât hurt anymore.â
Yin Shaojie looked at the bell tower not far away. There was a careless smile on his handsome face as he said to her, âIf we can run back to the Student Union building in five minutes, Iâll fulfill a wish of yours.â
âFulfill a wish of mine? Any wish at all?â Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she asked, already quickening her steps.
The two of them held hands as they ran slowly.
Yin Shaojie said confidently, âYes, any wish!â
Mu Xiaoxiao expressed her doubt. âYouâre kidding! If I want a star from the sky, can you pluck one out for me? No, right?â
âI can! Who said that I canât?â Yin Shaojie smiled as he spoke, as though it was no feat at all.
âSure, pluck one then. Do it right now.â
Yin Shaojie laughed. âYouâre so silly. Canât you see itâs daytime now? Where are the stars? Also, even if you wanted me to pluck one for you, you have to give me time to prepare, right?â
Mu Xiaoxiao gave him a look that said âyea, continuing kidding, wonât you?â She said, âYouâre trying to make me slow down on purpose, right? No, Iâll run faster!â
Five minutes was a short time and it passed by in the blink of an eye.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSlow down! Your foot!â This time, Yin Shaojie was the one who was worried, afraid that she would twist her ankle again.
However, when she started to run, the wind blowing on her face improved Mu Xiaoxiaoâs mood tremendously, and she smiled.
The two of them ran together and finally reached the Student Union building.
Mu Xiaoxiao stopped at the door and panted.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and teased, âYouâre useless. Youâre panting only after a few minutes of running?â
Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him.
He walked towards her. Suddenly, reaching out with his long arm, he scooped her up from the waist.
âWhat are you doing!â Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked and grabbed onto the fabric in front of his chest hurriedly so that she wouldnât fall.
âIâm carrying you up. Donât you have no energy to go up now? Or do you want us to continue standing here?â
Yin Shaojie explained as he carried her up the stairs effortlessly.
On the way, they encountered some Student Union members, who looked at them in surprise.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt super embarrassed and buried her face in his chest, pretending to be dead.
âYou canât see me, canât see me, canât see meâ¦â
Yin Shaojie heard her cute mumbling and the corners of his lips couldnât help but lift into a smile.
The way to his office was not that far but Mu Xiaoxiao felt as though it was longer than usual.
She lifted her head in puzzlement and met Yin Shaojieâs eyes.
âAre we there yet?â Why did he stop?
âNot yet. Soon,â Yin Shaojie said, his long legs taking huge strides across the hallway.
Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at her surroundings before she realized what was weird.
It seemed like he had walked to the end of the hallway before turning back.
She said, âYouâre so lame.â
