âIâll leave right away.â Shen Yin was extremely scared and anxiously stuffed the stainless bowl back into Mu Yaâs hands. She then ran over to the window and looked down.
Mu Ya threw his older brothers a complaining look. Mu Tian looked innocent, but the reliable Mu Hai could tell what Mu Ya was thinking. He tugged at Mu Tian and said, âLetâs go to the attic to read books.â
Mu Tian also felt unsettled and immediately agreed to it. The two brothers left together.
Mu Ya heaved a sigh of relief and said, âHurry up and eat.â
Shen Yin shook her head. âWhat time is it now?â
.
â12:30,â replied Mu Ya after taking a look at his phone.
Shen Yin immediately raised her head and said anxiously, âOh no, itâs lunch break now.â
âAfter lunch break is over, weâll go back to school together. Iâll help you tell the teacher that those people got your clothes wet. She probably wonât hold it against you,â Mu Ya said.
Shen Yin thought to herself that itâd be too late even if she were to head back now. However, she didnât dare to return to the classroom during lunch break. Therefore, she had no choice but to agree to Mu Yaâs suggestion.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing that her hair was still wet, Mu Ya hesitated for a moment before his heart suddenly started to beat quickly. âI can help you dry your hair.â
âNo... no need.â Shen Yin lowered her head, then tied her half-dried hair with an old rubber band.
Her wet fringe was one centimeter longer than when they were dry, covering her eyes completely and seriously blocking her vision. She could only lower her head and look at the things that were lower than her face.
A big bowl of food entered her vision, and Mu Yaâs cold voice darted into her ears.
âGo on, eat. If there isnât enough, Iâll go get more.â
Shen Yin took a piece of bread reservedly, then said softly, âItâs... itâs enough.â
She was cowardly both in speaking and in doing things. However, she looked very fierce when eating. She took a bite of bread, filling up her cheeks. Her mouth was so full that she couldnât chew and could only let out a moan.
Mu Ya looked at her half-puffed face, then suddenly smiled. He thought of the hamster they bought to feed the pet snake.
However, her long fringe was in the way. Mu Ya suddenly reached out to lift it. âI think that it can be combed.â
However, Shen Yin dodged in reflex, puffing her cheeks as she stared at him.
Mu Yaâs eyes opened wide and his expression sank. He reached to lift her fringe again. This time around, Shen Yin wasnât able to dodge. Mu Ya had grabbed onto her hands, and she was unable to move. She could only watch as he lifted her fringe.
There was a very big bruise on Shen Yinâs forehead, as well as a scar on the corner of her forehead.
âThey were the ones who caused the injuries on your forehead?â Mu Yaâs voice turned cold, looking angry.
Shen Yin turned her head away, causing the hair to cover her face again; with her face covered up, she felt a sense of security.
âNo,â Shen Yin replied softly.
That was true. That scar wasnât something that could have formed today. Mu Ya suppressed his fury and asked, âThen, how did you get it?â
âI accidentally bumped into something.â Shen Yin tried to draw her hands back, and only then did Mu Ya let go of her.
Shen Yin continued eating. She had a great appetite and wasnât picky with food. She finished almost the entire basin by herself.
When she stopped, Mu Ya brought a pair of scissors over. âIâll help you to cut your hair shorter. Itâs covering your eyes.â
This time around, Shen Yin didnât refuse. She stood there quietly, letting Mu Ya cut her hair while sipping on the bottle of yogurt.
Mu Ya couldnât help but look at her flat stomach. He didnât expect that she could eat so much. He had to use his allowance more sparingly.
After washing up and having her fringe trimmed, Shen Yin looked a lot more refreshing. However, she couldnât hide her fleeting gaze anymore, and people would easily be able to tell when she panicked.
It was about time.
Mu Ya sent Shen Yin out through the windows before he met up with his brothers. Then, the four of them went back to school together.
