Mu Xiaoxiao raised the corners of her eyes and looked at him plaintively. “Why are you doing this even though it’s so dangerous? Also, my birthday is tomorrow but you…”
What was more important than her birthday?
Yin Shaojie held his forehead with his hand, evidently in a dilemma as to whether he should tell her.
“This is a matter of life and death. I’ll tell you all the details after everything is over, okay?”
“Okay.” Mu Xiaoxiao nodded considerately. She reached out to hug his neck and buried her face into his shoulder.
It was alright so long as he was willing to speak with her again. Mu Xiaoxiao hugged him tightly, unwilling to even let go a little. Suddenly, Yin Shaojie took her hands and pulled her away from his neck.
“What about you? Have you thought through it clearly?”
“What?” Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him uncomprehendingly.
Yin Shaojie’s dark eyes sank a little. “Have you thought through it clearly? About me and Ah Ze.”
Before he could finish his words, she said unhesitatingly, “I’m sure of it! I’ve always been sure of it, okay? I already told you that I only think of him as a friend. You’re the only one I like. Jerk.”
With that, she tried to pounce onto him again.
Yin Shaojie blocked her advance with his hand nimbly and stood up.
He gathered his bathrobe and tried to conceal something intentionally.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao did not notice anything because she was preoccupied with wanting to clear the air with him.
Mu Xiaoxiao recalled something and glared at him in anger with a plaintive expression. “Yin Shaojie, do you know how overboard you went? It’s one thing for you to be angry, but how could you disappear on me? I almost went mad with anxiety! Also, did you blacklist my number? I called you so many times but I couldn’t get through.”
“I didn’t blacklist you.” Yin Shaojie gestured to the phone in his hand and explained, “The SIM card I’m using is from Country R. I broke my phone and I had to get a replacement.”
Mu Xiaoxiao said, “You didn’t turn it on on purpose, right!”
Yin Shaojie nodded.
He had been afraid that he would abandon the mission to look for her once he heard her call.
Mu Xiaoxiao searched within herself. Remembering that she had thrown her bag to one side, she went over to search for her bag and took out her phone. However, her phone battery was dead. She looked angry and frustrated as she rummaged through her entire bag before realizing that she had forgotten to bring her charger.
She ran back to him and said, “Where’s your charger? My phone is out of battery!”
Yin Shaojie pointed to the master bedroom. “The charger’s in there.”
Mu Xiaoxiao ran into the room and plugged in her phone. Yin Shaojie stood outside the door and watched her. After being charged for a while, the phone switched on automatically.
“See-” She was about to show him the call record when her phone rang at that moment.
Han Qiqing was calling.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about it and decided to answer.
“Xiaoxiao! Where are you? Why was your phone switched off? We were so worried! Hurry up and tell us where you are! We’ll go and bring you back!” Han Qiqing sounded immensely worried.
