However, as though he didnât see her, Yin Shaojie walked past her and stood at Mu Xiaoxiaoâs desk.
Yin Shaojie smiled flippantly, leaned over on Mu Xiaoxiaoâs desk and said, âLetâs eat at a different place today. Itâs getting tiring eating at the same restaurants all the time.â
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. âOkay. Where are we going to eat?â
âWhere do you want to go?â
âIâm fine with anywhere,â Mu Xiaoxiao said as she packed her things.
Yin Shaojie also helped her to pack up and said, âWould you like to eat other cuisines? Japanese, Korean, Thai, or German?â
âWe had Japanese food that day. Letâs have something else today.â
âKorean?â
âOkay, sure,â Mu Xiaoxiao replied, but immediately changed her mind, saying, âI donât want Korean. Thai style then. I suddenly feel like eating Thai dishes.â
âOkay, weâll eat Thai cuisine then. Letâs go.â Yin Shaojie waited for her to carry the bag, held her little hand, and the two went out together.
The few girls, who had started to talk to Mu Xiaoxiao, waved and said goodbye to her.
An Zhixin stared blankly with a stiff expression, watching their backs and tears started to gather in her eyes.
How could he treat her like thisâ¦
An Zhixin knew that Yin Shaojie must have seen her, but he pretended not to know her as though she was just an insignificant passerby.
Remembering how he had once saved her and treated her well, compared to how indifferent he was toward her now, An Zhixinâs heart was hurting.
The girls on the sideline watched her scornfully.
âSome people ought to really look at themselves in the mirror. Does she really think that by wearing big brand name clothes, she would be a rich missy? A sparrow will always remain a sparrow. It wonât ever turn into a phoenix.â
âAiyoh, Iâm really envious. Young Master Jie is so gentle and thoughtful toward Mu Xiaoxiao. I have never seen Young Master Jie treating any of his previous girlfriends so well before. He pampers her so much that I canât even.â
âThatâs why I say Young Master Jie really loves Mu Xiaoxiao. Itâs real love, understand?â
The few girls casted contemptuous glances at An Zhixin and walked out of the classroom haughtily.
As though she was splashed with cold water, An Zhixin felt cold as she sat and stared blankly.
The deskmate, who had eaten breakfast with her in the morning, made plans and went off with the other boys as if he hadnât seen her blank expression.
â¦
Yin Shaojie and friends drove to a Thai-style restaurant. Just when he sat down, his phone rang.
He said to Mu Xiaoxiao, âItâs Sijue.â
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs eyes widened, and she quickly shifted herself closer to Yin Shaojie to listen in on the conversation.
Yin Shaojie smiled and answered the phone.
Song Shijun and Han Qiqing looked at them strangely.
As Yin Shaojie answered the phone, he passed the iPad over to Song Shijun to have him order the dishes.
Song Shijun flipped through the menu on the iPad and asked, âGreat Mistress Mu, what do you want to eat?â
âIâm fine with anything,â Mu Xiaoxiao was focused not on the food, but on Mo Xiaomeng.
Song Shijun shifted the iPad over slightly to let Han Qiqing have a look and asked her what she wanted to eat.
On one side, the two were ordering food.
And on the other side, the other two were listening on the phone.
Ye Sijue asked on the phone, âAre you dismissed from school already? Where are you eating? Iâll head over now.â
Yin Shaojie glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao. âWe are eating outside. Are you coming by yourself, or⦠together with Mo Xiaomeng?â
âWith her,â Ye Sijue simply replied.
