When he was finished speaking, displeasure and jealousy was written all over his face.
Mu Xiaoxiao swatted away his hand, avoiding his gaze as she said, âWhen was I bashful? I was just talking to William about some serious matter. It was a serious matter! Do you understand?â
âWhat serious matter?â Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes as he stared at her and continued to probe, looking intent to get to the bottom of things.
âDidnât I just tell you? Itâs Annie. Itâs regarding his sisterâ¦â Mu Xiaoxiao was just about to tell him about the matter with Annie.
Ding-Dong! Ding-Dong!
Then, the doorbell rang.
Yin Shaojieâs jet-black eyes turned to glance at the door impatiently.
Mu Xiaoxiao said, âIt should be food delivery. Letâs eat first, and Iâll tell you while we eat, okay?â
Seeing him grim-faced, she dared not let him go out to face people lest he scared the delivery man.
So Mu Xiaoxiao went over and opened the door.
Sure enough, it was a food deliveryman.
Mu Xiaoxiao instructed him to put the food on the table. Then, she gave him a tip and let him leave quickly.
When she turned back, Yin Shaojie was still standing at the same spot.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over to him, hugged his arm, and pulled him over.
She suddenly remembered what William said earlier and couldnât help but smile and say to him, âI told you, William is just my friend. Moreover, he has a boyfriend. When will you learn not to get jealous of him?â
Yin Shaojie snorted and said with great conviction, âWhen Iâm dead!â
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She didnât know how to reply to him, unsure whether to laugh or cry as she thought that he looked cute when he was jealous.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed and said, âEven if I like William, this is hypothetically speaking! Do you know how scary Reiter is? Give me a hundred guts, and I still wonât dare to steal his boyfriend!â
Sometimes, just looking at Reiterâs cold expression would send shivers down her spine.
When she was reminded of who Reiter really was⦠the more she didnât dare to approach him.
If it werenât for William, she would have ran away the moment she saw Reiter.
Yin Shaojie seemed to have understood her as his expression began to ease up, and he sat down and said, âYou still havenât answered the question. Why were you blushing if you were talking to him about a serious matter?â
âSigh, itâs justâ¦â Upon bringing up the topic, Mu Xiaoxiao was reminded of the sounds that she heard earlier, and her face flushed again.
Yin Shaojie was observing her keenly. âLook! You dare to say that you werenât blushing!â
ââ¦â Caught red-handed, Mu Xiaoxiao looked helpless.
âFine, Iâll tell, okay?â She finally didnât know what else to do with him. Although it was interesting at times to see him jealous, he shouldnât be getting jealous at everything!
She gave in and said evasively, âWell⦠When I was talking to William about the matter, Reiter seemed to be beside him⦠and then⦠William seemed to have just woke up, and⦠Aiyah, they are a couple; you should get it!â
Must she spell it out for him to make him understand?
Yin Shaojie stunned for a moment. Obviously, given his intellect, it was natural that he would understand.
But there was mischief in his eyes as he pretended to be puzzled and said deliberately, âI donât get it.â
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She thought he was saying that on purpose.
Heâs saying that on purpose!
He was clearly a smart guy, and she had already given very obvious hints. How could he not get it!
