“Then… Take it for me!” Mu Xiaoxiao pushed her forward shyly.
“Why should I? You’re buying it, so it’s obvious that you should be the one taking it!” Han Qiqing took a step backwards and pushed her forward instead.
“Qiqing, just do me this favor!”
Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t dare to take it herself, and the two of them kept pus.h.i.+ng the other forward.
Han Qiqing warned her, “There’s no one around right now, so hurry up and take it. If someone comes out to check out right now, it’ll be even more embarra.s.sing. Are you going to buy it or not?”
Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated and eyed the checkout counter.
Finally, just as she had made up her mind to walk over, her phone rang.
She looked at the caller ID. It was Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao blushed. Pretending that nothing had happened, she took the call.
“h.e.l.lo?”
“Why are you not in cla.s.s? What did you go to the supermarket to buy?” Yin Shaojie asked immediately.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. “How did you know that I was in the supermarket?”
Even though she knew that he had a view of her cla.s.sroom and that he could tell if she was in cla.s.s, how did he know that she was at the supermarket?”
Yin Shaojie said, “It isn’t very safe out there so I arranged for people to trail you. Can’t you buy whatever you want in school? Why do you have to go all the way to such a far supermarket?”
Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid that she would b.u.mp into schoolmates at the supermarket near the school and thus had walked to one further away.
Unexpectedly, Yin Shaojie had arranged for people to protect her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little stunned. She was glad that she didn’t buy it in the end. If not, he would have known about it.
“I’m just buying some random things. Stop asking about it. I’ll just head back with Qiqing now.”
Yin Shaojie thought about it, but still said worriedly, “I don’t think you should go to cla.s.s anymore. Just meet me at the Student Union building directly. I don’t know why but I can’t seem to stop feeling uneasy.”
Originally, he wanted to bring her around with him. However, she was behaving weirdly today, insisting that she had to go to cla.s.s.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t want him to worry and so she nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll go after buying some snacks.”
After hanging up, Han Qiqing leaned over and asked, “Was that Yin Shaojie?”
“Yeah, we’re not getting it today. Let’s go back.” Mu Xiaoxiao held her hand and walked out.
“You’re not getting it anymore?”
“Not now. I’ll find another opportunity to buy it.” It was Mu Xiaoxiao’s first time experiencing how torturous it was to keep a secret.
Suddenly, she felt like she was just asking for it.
It was supposed to be her birthday and she was the one who should be receiving presents. Yin Shaojie should be making tremendous efforts to prepare a surprise for her.
Why was she the one trying so hard to prepare a surprise for him?
No one else would do such a thing!
Han Qiqing felt a little guilty. She thought for a while and said, “How about I just go buy it for you?”
She felt very embarra.s.sed to be buying condoms but she didn’t mind risking it for Xiaoxiao.
With that said, Han Qiqing turned towards the counter.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao pulled her back. Shaking her head, she said, “It’s really okay. I’ll just buy it next time.”
The two of them walked out of the store and walked in the direction of school.
Because it was now cla.s.s time, there weren’t a lot of people out on the street.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao realized that something was wrong. There were practically no pedestrians on the street and there weren’t a lot of cars either. It gave her a bad feeling.
She thought for a while and pulled at Han Qiqing, walking faster.
“Qiqing, let’s walk faster.”
