âWhat are you saying? Thatâs not me!â Mu Xiaoxiao aimed a kick in her general direction before opening the message.
Han Qiqing saw her excited expression turn cloudy.
âWhat happened? Did Yin Shaojie say something to make you angry again?â She leaned forward curiously.
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs face was unhappy as she threw her phone to the side, muttering, âYin Shaojie, you jerkâ¦â
Han Qiqing picked up the phone and realized that the person who sent the message was not Yin Shaojie but Lu Yichen, who was texting her about the picture.
This made Han Qiqingâs expression change a little. âXiaoxiao, are you close with Lu Yichen?â
âWeâre okay,â Mu Xiaoxiao replied gloomily.
Han Qiqing seemed to understand something and laughed, âHaha, I believe it now! You really have no feelings for Lu Yichen!â
She could finally let go of the doubt weighing on her heart.
After all, Mu Xiaoxiao was her best friend, and she didnât want them to like the same person at the same time.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her in confusion. âHavenât I already told you that? Why do all of you keep thinking that I like him? I only admire him and want to be his friend. Is this not normal?â
âItâs normal, itâs normal.â Han Qiqing nodded and moved towards her. Smiling, she said, âI believe you completely now.â
âWhy are you only believing me now?â
âBecauseâ¦â Han Qiqing took the phone in her hands and smiled at her. âBecause the one you like is Yin Shaojie!â
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs face slowly reddened. She immediately retorted, âNo, I donât!â
Han Qiqing laughed conspiratorially, âStill denying it? You were happy because you thought that Yin Shaojie had sent a message to you but was disappointed when it was not him. This means that not only do you not like Lu Yichen, but it also shows that you likeâ¦â
Mu Xiaoxiao covered her mouth, preventing her from continuing. âI said, I donât like him!â she said loudly.
However, her burning red face gave her no credibility.
With an angry expression, Mu Xiaoxiao grabbed her neck and threatened as she glared at her, âHan Qiqing! If you say that again, Iâm going to strangle you!â
Han Qiqing quickly put up her hands in surrender. âOkay, okay, okay, Iâll stop. Your majesty, my queen, please have mercy!â
It was only then that Mu Xiaoxiao released her.
Han Qiqing was confused, however, and asked, âBut arenât you engaged?â
âThatâs⦠Our parents forced us into it. I wasnât willing to, and Yin Shaojie wasnât happy about it either,â Mu Xiaoxiao said before scolding Yin Shaojie for being a flirt internally.
âYin Shaojie loves chasing after hot chicks so much that I doubt heâll give up his entire harem just for me!â
Han Qiqing tutted, âLook at how sour you sound.â
Mu Xiaoxiao shot her a warning glance. Raising her hands, which were formed into claws, she mimed a strangling motion. âI dare you to say it again!â
Han Qiqing raised her hands in surrender.
Suddenly, she froze, and her face changed to one of astonishment. âEh?â
âWhatâs up?â Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her uncomprehendingly.
Han Qiqing jumped down from the bed suddenly and ran to the balcony.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Her balcony faced the villaâs entrance, and one could see the outsideâs entire horizon from there.
Then, Mu Xiaoxiao heard her surprised voice shout, âXiaoxiao! Thereâs a car below, and it looks like Yin Shaojieâs! Hurry up and come over quick!â
Mu Xiaoxiao froze, and her heart started to pound.
