Chapter 1560: One Lie After Another (31)
His heart softened. His brother had been right that Xiaoxiao would be upset over the argument too.
This meant that Xiaoxiao treated him as a friend.
He called out her name, “Mu Xiaoxiao!”
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up and met his eyes.
It was only when she asked him, “Didn’t you leave?”
He still continued being at loggerheads with her as he replied resentfully, “Yes, I left, and I wasn’t at all going to come back.”
But Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, “Oh.”
Feng Tianqi’s eyes widened. What was the meaning of “Oh”!
The two looked at each other without talking.
After a while, Mu Xiaoxiao said pitifully, “You don’t know how unlucky I was today. I hit my head, b.u.mped my leg into something, and insects fell into my hair. It scared me to death. Sigh. Anyways, things ain’t going well today… ”
She was complaining to him?
Feng Tianqi’s expression changed. He could feel her att.i.tude toward him had also become softer.
So was she making peace with him?
Since she was acting like that, as a man, he shouldn’t argue over matters like that either.
“I’m sorry…” These words seemed easier to say.
They looked at each other and smiled.
Did this mean that they were reconciled?
…
Initially, Feng Tianqi wanted to accompany Mu Xiaoxiao and wait with her lest she be bored.
But of course Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t allow it. It would be more sincere if she waited alone. So she drove him away so that he would return and attend cla.s.s.
“You skipped cla.s.s and yet you’re telling me to go back?” Feng Tianqi said disapprovingly.
“Yes!” Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and pushed him away so that he could quickly return to the cla.s.sroom.
Feng Tianqi didn’t know what to do with her. “You wait here yourself then.”
Mu Xiaoxiao waved to him as he left.
When he left, Mu Xiaoxiao went upstairs, sat down outside Yin Shaojie’s office, hugged her knees, and continued to wait for him.
Ding, ding ding. The school bell rang again.
Her streak of bad luck should be over, right? Mu Xiaoxiao thought. Even Feng Tianqi came back to reconcile with her. Everything that didn’t go well before should be alright now.
After a while, footsteps were heard from the stairs.
She wondered excitedly if Yin Shaojie was coming. She almost wanted to stand up to go see him, then she remembered that she wanted to look pitiful, so she stayed there and kept up the act.
“Mu Xiaoxiao? Why are you here?” It was a boy’s voice, but not Yin Shaojie’s.
Mu Xiaoxiao was disappointed. She looked up to see that it was a Student Union member.
“I’m waiting for Yin Shaojie here.”
However, the boy said, “Young Master Jie? He left halfway through the exam.”
“He left?” Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. She stood up quickly, almost hitting the doork.n.o.b again, and she hurriedly asked, “Where did he go?”
“I’m sorry, I don’t know.” The boy laughed mirthlessly. Why would he know where Young Master Jie went?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked gloomy. How did things turn out like this? Was her bad luck going to continue?
Just then, she got a notification of an incoming text message from her phone.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly took out the cell phone and saw that it was Qiqing who replied on WeChat.
——Sorry Xiaoxiao, I went to take the exam, so I didn’t see your text. My cla.s.s schedule today is a little tight. We probably have to go there after school.
Mu Xiaoxiao groaned.
Even Qiqing replied to her. Why hadn’t Yin Shaojie replied to her yet?
It could be possible that he saw the message but deliberately ignored it.
