“Can’t you be gentler!” Mu Xiaoxiao shouted.
Yin Shaojie was forced to be more gentle. “Is this okay?”
“That’s better…” Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she nodded before closing her eyes to enjoy his service.
Usually, Yin Shaojie would take a short time to dry his hair because male hair was shorter. Sometimes he wouldn’t even need a minute.
But even after he dried her hair for a few minutes, it was still wet.
He furrowed his brow. “Female hair is really troublesome. You gotta take so long to dry it. Don’t you get tired when you dry it yourself?”
“Of course, it’s the same when blow drying the hair. My hands get all tired,” Mu Xiaoxiao replied, her head swaying together with his movements, which made her look like a kitten.
Yin Shaojie suddenly felt that it was a pretty good idea to dry her hair to be able to see such a lovely side of her.
“It won’t get dry if we do it like this, will it?” he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao touched her hair. Because she had longer hair, it would still feel wet even after drying it for so long.
“That’s just the way it is. If only we had a hair dryer.”
“Wait here for a while then. I’ll go out and ask if they have any.” Yin Shaojie handed the towel to her and went out.
After all, the basketball team consisted of only boys, and because they only needed to dry for awhile after showering, it was normal for them to not use hairdryers.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao said hurriedly, “No need for that! Since we’re already dismissed from lessons, let’s just go home directly.”
Yin Shaojie looked at her and said disapprovingly, “The weather is getting cold now. What if you catch a cold?”
He didn’t forget how frail her body was. When she was young, she could easily catch a cold after being exposed to cold wind.
“Aiyoh, how can it be so easy to catch a cold! You’ve seen it yourself. I have been back for so long, and I haven’t caught a cold.” Mu Xiaoxiao casually wiped her hair with the towel and then threw it aside.
Yin Shaojie pinched his eyebrows. “Take back those words and say it properly!”
Seeing him like this, she sniggered as she hugged his hand and said, “Why are you talking like this? Hilarious!”
Weren’t these superstitious words something that only their mothers’ and grandmothers’ generation would say?
Yin Shaojie pinched her cheek and said, “You only know to annoy me. Don’t you know that it is all for you own good?”
But then, you never can never be too sure with these kind of things.
“Alright, alright, I promise, I won’t catch a cold, okay?” Mu Xiaoxiao said, not taking it seriously, and she tugged on him as they walked out together.
“Alright, let’s go home then! I’m famished.”
After almost an hour for the game and all the fuss in the shower, it was probably evening already.
…
Outside the basketball stadium.
An Zhixin’s classmates were waiting impatiently.
One of the girls said to An Zhixin, displeased, “We have already waited so long, why isn’t he out yet? Zhixin, are you lying to us? You don’t know Young Master Jie at all, do you?”
An Zhixin looked nervous and looked anxiously at her phone.
Another girl looked at her and asked suspiciously, “Zhixin, do you really have Young Master Jie’s phone number? Then, why don’t you dare to call him? Just call him again!”
An Zhixin had already dialed his phone earlier, but she didn’t dare to be too much of a bother to Yin Shaojie, so she didn’t dare to call him again.
They didn’t see Yin Shaojie coming out, so they stood at the door and waited.
An Zhixin was already sweating through her palms as she smiled and said to them, “Do you think there may be a second exit here? Perhaps… they already left from the back exit after showering?”
