Mu Xiaoxiao looked a little awkward. âHe didnât confess to meâ¦â
She felt a little down as she thought about this.
That jerk had stolen a kiss secretly but hadnât told her in no uncertain terms that he liked her.
He had been teasing her a little now and then recently, and the atmosphere between them had been quite charged. However, neither of them had gone beyond that.
Han Qiqing exclaimed in surprise, âHe hasnât confessed? Is it because youâre already engaged? Is that why he thinks itâs okay to skip this step? How could he!â
âNo, thatâs not it!â Mu Xiaoxiao was a little frustrated. She didnât know how to explain her tricky relationship with Yin Shaojie.
âAnyway, our relationship isnât like what you think. Itâs still like before â weâre each otherâs really good friends.â
Really good childhood friends.
Not a romantic couple.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little resentful as she thought about this.
She really didnât know what Yin Shaojie was thinking.
He had stolen a secret kiss from her, which meant that he really liked her, right?
But why did heâ¦
Upon hearing her words, Han Qiqingâs eyes widened in surprise. Tugging at her violently, she asked, âArenât you⦠dating? People who arenât blind can clearly tell that youâre dating!â
âWe arenât, reallyâ¦â Mu Xiaoxiao said a little crestfallenly.
Han Qiqing rubbed her chin and said, âAt first, Iâd thought that you still hadnât realized it, but you told me in person at the hot spring villa that you liked him, which means that youâre not that dense regarding romantic feelings.â
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. âI-I told you that I liked him?! When did that happen!â
Han Qiqing was puzzled as well and replied, âDidnât I ask you? It was that time at the hot spring villa where we took a soak in the hot spring. I asked, and you replied that you liked him. Donât you remember?â
That was impossible, right? It had just happened last weekend. How could she have forgotten?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Han Qiqing clapped her palms together as realization dawned on her. âI know! Werenât you drunk on that day? Maybe your memories blacked out after you woke up from being drunk and thatâs why you canât remember it.â
âThatâs possible⦠But I donât think Iâd say that I liked him, though.â
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little confused.
She had only realized that she had felt differently towards Yin Shaojie after that day.
She hadnât known that Yin Shaojie had stolen a secret kiss before she got drunk while in the hot spring. At that time, she was still ignorant of her feelings. How could she have said that she liked Yin Shaojie then?
âI get it now.â Mu Xiaoxiao didnât know whether to laugh or cry. âI think I did say that, but it had a different meaning from what you thought it was.â
Now thoroughly confused by her, Han Qiqing asked, âHow about now, then? Do you like Yin Shaojie, or not?â
âIâ¦â Mu Xiaoxiao was shy. She felt that it was a little weird to confess to liking Yin Shaojie so suddenly.
âHurry up and tell me! Iâm going to die from the suspense!â Han Qiqing shook her arm.
Blushing, Mu Xiaoxiao said, âAbout him, I-Iâ¦â
Just then, a few girls suddenly blocked their path.
âMu Xiaoxiao, we have something to tell you!â
At first, Mu Xiaoxiao thought that they had come looking for trouble, but upon taking a closer look, she realized that they were not behaving arrogantly but a little cowardly.
The girls who spoke earlier also seemed as though they had to summon their courage to do so.
âWhatâs the matter?â she looked at them and asked uncomprehendingly.
