As Mu Xiaoxiao recalled Yu Zhe kissing the back of her hand publicly earlier, she looked towards Yin Shaojie beside her, worried that he would flare up.
She advised Yu Zhe, âYou should go. Donât follow us anymore. This guy doesnât have a good temper. If you continue following us, he might beat the crap out of you!â
Yu Zhe whispered apologetically, âSorry⦠I wasnât hiding properly. I wasnât intending to disturb you. I justâ¦â
I just wanted to look at you from afar.
This was his purpose for coming to the autumn outing.
He didnât dare to expect forgiveness, and only wanted to look at her from afar. In this way, he could amass many memories of her, which would allow him to reminisce about her for a very, very long time.
Mu Xiaoxiao was very soft-hearted. Upon seeing Yu Zhe like this, she didnât have the heart to chase him away.
She looked towards Yin Shaojie and tugged at his hand.
Yin Shaojie sneered, âDo whatever you want.â
Mu Xiaoxiao beamed. âReally?â
Yin Shaojie looked at her with his dark eyes, looking as if he was at his witsâ end, though his gaze did hold more pampering than that. âDo whatever you want.â
Mu Xiaoxiao then looked at Yu Zhe and asked, âDo you have a roomed assigned?â
Yu Zhe paused before he shook his head. âNoâ¦â
He hadnât come here with everyone else, and thus the members of the Student Union hadnât assigned a room to him.
Mu Xiaoxiao didnât know whether to laugh or to cry. âHave you tried searching for a place to sleep instead of following me around?â
Yu Zhe was silent.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless. She sighed and said, âCome with me.â
Yu Zhe looked shocked, and he thought he had heard her wrong.
Mu Xiaoxiao didnât repeat her words. Holding Yin Shaojieâs hand, she walked towards the tents.
Yu Zhe paused for a while before following silently.
When they returned, Mu Xiaoxiao asked, âDid anyone bring an extra tent or sleeping bag?â
Song Shijun had good eyesight and seemed to understand what was going on when he saw Yu Zhe behind her.
He raised his hand. âI have a sleeping bag. I donât mind not using it, so let him have it.â
âThanks,â Mu Xiaoxiao said, before gesturing to Yu Zhe to sit with them.
Yu Zhe found an empty spot and sat down. His gaze was a little shocked, as though he still hadnât returned to his senses.
He had never thought that he would be able to sit with this bunch of peopleâ¦
Just then, Yin Shaojie carried a disposable plate over. In it were some leftover wings and drumsticks.
He sat beside Mu Xiaoxiao and offered the plate to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao understood what he was trying to do and smiled at him approvingly. She then gave the plate to Yu Zhe and said, âFor you.â
He had been hiding by the side all this while. He couldnât have eaten yet, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao was totally speechless at his behavior.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yu Zhe took the plate. It was only then that he returned to his senses and he said, âThank you. Am I disturbing you?â
âItâs okay,â Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she said. âThe more the merrier. Everyone here knows you anyway and youâve helped us before.â
Yu Zhe only relaxed after feeling the kindness of the rest.
He even felt as though he was in a dream, and that all of this was very surreal.
In front of him were the people everyone at Shangde High wanted to get close to: the Big Four Families, the son of the mayor, and also⦠the legendary Mu family.
When he thought about the last bit, he couldnât help but look at Mu Xiaoxiao, his eyes brimming with an indescribable emotion.
Yu Zhe took up a wing and took a bite of it silently.
A sharp spiciness pierced his tongue and mouth instantly and rushed through his head. In less than two seconds, his forehead was sweating from the spice.
Beside him, Yin Shaojie smirked.
