“However, Lu Yichen’s academics were superb. The school had spent a lot of money to invite him over, and St. Maria Institute had also wanted him. Our school, of course, couldn’t expel him. In the end, only the boy was expelled, but Yin Shaojie has harbored something against Lu Yichen ever since.”

After her simple explanation of things, her mouth twitched as she said, “Say, don’t you think that Yin Shaojie went overboard? He acts so lawlessly in school and caused someone to be expelled just because of something trivial. He’s so narrow-minded!”

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao frowned in disagreement. “Do you know what that boy did to anger him then?” she asked.

“No, I don’t,” Han Qiqing said as she shook her head.

Mu Xiaoxiao sat up suddenly and looked at her unhappily. “Then, you can’t jump to conclusions just like that! How do you know that it was a small matter? And to say that Jie is narrow-minded — he’s not that kind of person!”

Even though Yin Shaojie was a little tyrannical and rascally at times, he was not a narrow-minded person.

Han Qiqing sat up as well, and she suddenly looked at her and said suggestively, “Why are you so protective of him? Aren’t you at loggerheads with him right now? I thought that you would condemn him together with me.”

Mu Xiaoxiao blushed. “I was discussing the matter objectively!”

Hearing others speak badly about Yin Shaojie made her uncomfortable and angry.

They didn’t understand Yin Shaojie. How could they criticize him like that?

She was annoyed at Han Qiqing especially, for they had already known each other for a few years. How could she not know Yin Shaojie’s real personality?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mu Xiaoxiao was a little angry.

Other people could misunderstand Yin Shaojie, but Han Qiqing had been their friend for many years. How could she!

Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao cheeks, which were puffed up in anger, Han Qiqing thought she looked cute, and she couldn’t help but poke them with her fingers. “Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong? Are you angry?”

Mu Xiaoxiao looked into her eyes and said seriously, “Little Qing, Yin Shaojie isn’t what you said he is. Can you stop misunderstanding him?”

“Okay, I got it. I’ll reflect on it, okay?” Han Qiqing rubbed her nose embarrassedly. She realized that her judgment had been biased because she liked Lu Yichen.

Han Qiqing pulled her down to a laying position and said, “Actually, guys are kinda childish sometimes. They don’t see eye to eye over trivial matters. Lu Yichen did nothing wrong and was only trying to defend his friend. Even if that boy did something wrong, it didn’t warrant expulsion.”

Not only was it very humiliating to be expelled from Shangde High, but it was also hard to find another school that was better than it.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t reply but turned her head to glance at the phone on the bedside cabinet.

Suddenly, the phone emitted the sound of bells.

It was a message notification!

She was overjoyed and lunged for her phone.

Han Qiqing jumped in fright at the sudden movement. Patting her chest, she said to Mu Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, what are you doing? You scared me by jumping up like that so suddenly. What’s on your phone?”

She sat up as well and saw the smile on Mu Xiaoxiao’s face. Seeming to understand something, she teased suggestively, “I knew it. You’ve been waiting for Yin Shaojie to contact you, right? Blackmailing him but still longing for him to contact you — what’s this called… Oh yeah, the mouth may say no, but the body betrays it? Hahaha!”
