His heart softened. His brother had been right that Xiaoxiao would be upset over the argument too.
This meant that Xiaoxiao treated him as a friend.
He called out her name, âMu Xiaoxiao!â
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up and met his eyes.
It was only when she asked him, âDidnât you leave?â
He still continued being at loggerheads with her as he replied resentfully, âYes, I left, and I wasnât at all going to come back.â
But Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, âOh.â
Feng Tianqiâs eyes widened. What was the meaning of âOhâ!
The two looked at each other without talking.
After a while, Mu Xiaoxiao said pitifully, âYou donât know how unlucky I was today. I hit my head, bumped my leg into something, and insects fell into my hair. It scared me to death. Sigh. Anyways, things ainât going well today⦠â
She was complaining to him?
Feng Tianqiâs expression changed. He could feel her attitude toward him had also become softer.
So was she making peace with him?
Since she was acting like that, as a man, he shouldnât argue over matters like that either.
âIâm sorryâ¦â These words seemed easier to say.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
They looked at each other and smiled.
Did this mean that they were reconciled?
â¦
Initially, Feng Tianqi wanted to accompany Mu Xiaoxiao and wait with her lest she be bored.
But of course Mu Xiaoxiao didnât allow it. It would be more sincere if she waited alone. So she drove him away so that he would return and attend class.
âYou skipped class and yet youâre telling me to go back?â Feng Tianqi said disapprovingly.
âYes!â Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and pushed him away so that he could quickly return to the classroom.
Feng Tianqi didnât know what to do with her. âYou wait here yourself then.â
Mu Xiaoxiao waved to him as he left.
When he left, Mu Xiaoxiao went upstairs, sat down outside Yin Shaojieâs office, hugged her knees, and continued to wait for him.
Ding, ding ding. The school bell rang again.
Her streak of bad luck should be over, right? Mu Xiaoxiao thought. Even Feng Tianqi came back to reconcile with her. Everything that didnât go well before should be alright now.
After a while, footsteps were heard from the stairs.
She wondered excitedly if Yin Shaojie was coming. She almost wanted to stand up to go see him, then she remembered that she wanted to look pitiful, so she stayed there and kept up the act.
âMu Xiaoxiao? Why are you here?â It was a boyâs voice, but not Yin Shaojieâs.
Mu Xiaoxiao was disappointed. She looked up to see that it was a Student Union member.
âIâm waiting for Yin Shaojie here.â
However, the boy said, âYoung Master Jie? He left halfway through the exam.â
âHe left?â Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. She stood up quickly, almost hitting the doorknob again, and she hurriedly asked, âWhere did he go?â
âIâm sorry, I donât know.â The boy laughed mirthlessly. Why would he know where Young Master Jie went?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked gloomy. How did things turn out like this? Was her bad luck going to continue?
Just then, she got a notification of an incoming text message from her phone.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly took out the cell phone and saw that it was Qiqing who replied on WeChat.
ââSorry Xiaoxiao, I went to take the exam, so I didnât see your text. My class schedule today is a little tight. We probably have to go there after school.
Mu Xiaoxiao groaned.
Even Qiqing replied to her. Why hadnât Yin Shaojie replied to her yet?
It could be possible that he saw the message but deliberately ignored it.
