Yin Shaojie chuckled coldly, “Don’t you have a gorgeous hunk beside you? Can’t you just ask him to send you home? It’s a good opportunity for him to get your favor.”
Pursing her lips, Mu Xiaoxiao retorted, “I don’t care where you are right now, but you had better come over quickly. Take me home right now!”
She was very certain that Yin Shaojie was ignoring her because he had sent his girlfriend home.
Thinking about it increased her anger. “Yin Shaojie, didn’t you say that we were going to go to your house tonight? How can you abandon me here? I’ll tell your mum that you prioritized your girlfriend over me and ignored me!” she said to the phone again.
“Haha, still complaining to your elders? Are you a three-year-old?” he said in a mocking tone.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt miserable. She squatted by the road, her mood downcast. “Yin Shaojie, come here quickly…”
Just as she finished that sentence, a sports car stopped in front of her.
Eh?
Wasn’t this the sports car that Yin Shaojie had used to drive her to school in the morning?
Could it be…
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head. Yin Shaojie was right before her. Hand outstretched, he pulled her up. Holding back a smile, he said, “Mu Xiaoxiao, how immature of you! With you squatting like this, those who don’t know better would mistake you for an elementary school kid from next door.”
“Yin! Shao! Jie!” Mu Xiaoxiao swatted at him with her hand, but her face was all smiles again.
It turned out that this guy had lied to her on purpose. He must have been nearby watching her when he had said that he was outside to embarra.s.s her.
Shooting a glare at him, she asked, “Were you hiding and watching me in secret?”
“So what if I was?” Yin Shaojie pinched her nose with his hand. “I thought you would be abducted on your first day of school. Luckily, you aren’t that dumb,” he said, looking a little annoyed.
“How mean.” Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. A sudden revelation hit her and she said, “So you actually saw it just now and thought that I would get into Yu Zhe’s car? That’s impossible!”
Regardless of the fact that she had only known Yu Zhe for a day, she had wanted to hide her ident.i.ty and not give away that she was living with Yin Shaojie.
“Okay enough. Let’s get into the car first.” Yin Shaojie tugged at her arm and pulled her into the car. Putting his shades back on, he headed to the driver’s seat.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at him. Grinning, she said, “Trying to act cool by wearing shades? Gimme!”
She reached out to s.n.a.t.c.h them away.
“Oi!” Yin Shaojie shouted. He had just started the engine only to get his gla.s.ses stolen, and could only glare at her helplessly.
Mu Xiaoxiao held the shades on her face in place with her finger. “This is too big — my face is too small,” she complained.
The shades kept sliding off the bridge of her nose unstably.
“Your actions are hilarious. The shades don’t suit you at all. It’s so unbecoming — like a kid trying on adult clothes. You should just sit there quietly and return them to me.” Yin Shaojie waited till she was preoccupied before s.n.a.t.c.hing them back with one long arm.
He donned his shades in one nimble motion — a das.h.i.+ng gesture.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared in awe.
“What’s wrong?” Yin Shaojie noticed that she was behaving weirdly and turned to look at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao averted her gaze quickly. “It’s nothing. How long will it take to reach your family house from here? Is it far?” she asked in an effort to distract him.
There was a quick change in topic.
Yin Shaojie did not comprehend the situation, but perhaps he was accustomed to the eccentric moods of girls, for he did not venture to guess it. “It’s not very far; about half an hour’s ride,” he answered.
