Ji Xiaotiao was leaning her back against the door. She blushed as her heart beat rapidly.
She was puzzled. What did he mean that she would regret missing this opportunity? Was he really Xu Moqi? Was he really the genius Xu Moqi who was like a cold fish?
Xu Moqi was laughing loudly outside the door, but Ji Xiaotiao didn’t hear due to good soundproofing. She scratched her head and then threw herself on the bed.
It seemed that . . . Xu Moqi had embraced her for the second time?
……
The next day, after the third alarm clock rang, Ji Xiaotiao finally woke up. She rubbed her head and then stood up. She picked up the nearest one from the ground and looked. Instantly, she let out a scream!
Bang! The door was suddenly thrown open. Xu Moqi saw the foolish girl rushing out, with her loose hair messy like a straw nest. She shouted at him,
“Xu Moqi! Why didn’t you wake me up?”
In the sitting room, the young master was happily eating his breakfast, with his hair still wet. It seemed that he’d just finished a shower. When he saw her, he was at first stunned, then raised his eyebrows.
All he said was: “I forgot.”
“You!”
She was very angry, but she didn’t know how to retort. After all, in fact, he had no obligation to wake her up. However, she’d grown used to being woke up by him. . .
She’d grown used to? What a frightening thought. She suddenly thought about how he’d embraced her yesterday. She took a deep breath and shook her head! No! I have to get rid of this habit as soon as possible!
While she was heading to the toilet, she heard: “I’ve helped you out by asking for your leave from school, so you don’t have to hurry.”
After hearing that, she looked at him at once with sharp eyes. She was very embarra.s.sed. She asked, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Xu Moqi shrugged his shoulders, then answered, “Since you were hospitalized, I went and asked the school to give you leave for a week. I had intended to tell you last evening, but you ran away so fast that I had no chance to tell you.”
Ji Xiaotiao was speechless. She wanted to tell him that she ran away because . . .
However, she was not going to argue with him, because she knew he was better with words than she was. So, she turned and walked towards the bathroom. After she just took two steps, she heard: “Why not go back to sleep? You always roll your eyes and then keep on sleeping when I wake up you every Sunday, don’t you?”
Ji Xiaotiao was speechless again. Didn’t he think he was “sinful” for saying such a thing? She wanted to have a good sleep-in on Sundays, but she was always teased by a certain sharp-tongued man! She usually fell asleep as soon as she lay on the bed. She thoroughly forgot it was Sunday until she heard Xu Moqi knocking the door. Whenever this happened, she immediately woke up. Then, she brushed her teeth and washed her face. After she was done with that, she was going to have breakfast, but she found nothing was on the table. At this time, the young master would always look at her, grinning like a fox.
“You should prepare breakfast today.”
“Why?” She was dumbfounded.
“Because today is the weekend!”
“. . . Why did you wake up me so early on the weekend?”
The young master blinked. He said, “Who is going to prepare breakfast if you don’t get up? You get only a chance to show off your cooking skills two days per week. How can you pa.s.s up this great opportunity? Hurry up and get in the kitchen. I’m starving.”
Ji Xiaotiao was thoroughly dumbfounded. She said, “Xu Moqi. . . ”
“What?”
“You should seize the chance to show off your own cooking skill in future. Don’t pa.s.s it off to me.”
“No! A person shouldn’t be so selfish. Didn’t your teacher ever tell you?” After hearing what he said, Ji Xiaotiao couldn’t help wanting to dig a pit and bury him in it.
However, she supposed she would be buried by him if she really did that. . .
This was only an invalid hypothesis. She rolled her eyes. Then she ran fast into the room to go back to sleep.
From then on, Xu Moqi understood the truth of the saying that a cornered beast will do something desperate. Experiments had proven that Ji Xiaotiao couldn’t be bothered when she had slept poorly or when she was hungry. . .
……
After hearing what he said, she just waved her arms. She said, “Of course, I want to go on sleeping, but it has been two days since I left school. I am afraid that I can’t keep up with the lessons. Moreover, I have nothing to do here, so I’d better to go back to school.”
Xu Moqi didn’t refute her words. Considering that she had already recovered, he agreed she could go back to school.
Furthermore, if his grandfather worked efficiently, those two people had possibly already left Yinghua College.
……
After eating bread hurriedly, Ji Xiaotiao went directly to school, with her small bag on her back.
She got to school just at break time. She straightaway walked towards her cla.s.sroom. She’d never cared about anyone’s gaze before, but she found more students staring at her today. She was puzzled. Were there some breadcrumbs on her face?
In fact, some students had always gazed at her like that after Xu Moqi visited here once. She had gotten used to it. However, she really didn’t know why they gazed her. She didn’t consider herself gorgeous. What on earth they were looking at, she had no idea.
When she entered the cla.s.sroom, she found all her cla.s.smates in the whole cla.s.s were curiously staring at her.
“Xiao, Xiaotiao! I heard that you had asked for a one-week leave, so why are you back to school today?”
Someone curiously asked her this in a stammering manner.
After hearing that, she was very happy because almost n.o.body cared about her before.
She immediately answered, “I’m fine! I have recovered.”
“Um . . . okay!”
That cla.s.smate didn’t ask any more. Ji Xiaotiao shrugged and then walked towards her seat. Today, she always felt something was strange, but she didn’t know what it was. . .
After sitting down, she took out some books from her drawer. She looked to the left and right. Then, that feeling became obviously stronger.
When she looked back, she finally knew what the strange thing was!
To her surprise, Qianhui and Moli were not in cla.s.s!
She knew these two misses would never stand up so long as they could sit, so they usually sat in their own seats during break time and discussed magazines, super stars, and famous brands. They never went for a walk, or to catch a breath of fresh air.
After some hesitation, Ji Xiaotiao asked the girl next to her, “Xiao Min, do you know where Moli and Qianhui are? Didn’t they come to school today?”
“Er. . . ” Xiao Min was embarra.s.sed. She said, “They, they have dropped out of school. . . ”
Eh！？
Ji Xiaotiao was stunned by this news! They had dropped out of school？How could it be possible? Qianhui’s father was a member of the council, wasn’t he?
“Do you know why they dropped out of school?”
Xiao Min smiled with embarra.s.sment. She didn’t answer. She seemed to want to avoid this question. However, careless Ji Xiaotiao thought Xiao Min didn’t want to talk with her any longer, so she didn’t ask her any more. However, she still had many questions in her mind.
