“Two is too many. I can’t finish them,” she looked at him and said.
Lu Yichen smiled slightly and touched his nose in an awkward manner. Then he said with an embarrassed expression, “Actually… one is for me.”
“Eh?” Mu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised as she thought of something. As she looked at him, her eyes bulged, and she cried in surprise, “Could it be… that the strawberry cakes you bought last time were all for yourself? I thought…”
I thought that he had bought it for his girlfriend.
But I didn’t think that he would buy it for himself.
It was unusual to see guys who liked to eat desserts. What’s more, strawberry cake was a popular dessert among young girls.
Though Lu Yichen looked embarrassed, he still nodded his head in admission and said, “That’s right.”
Upon solving the mystery, Mu Xiaoxiao laughed heartily. She gave a piece to him and started eating jovially.
“You should eat too. I never thought that we would have the same tastes. Perhaps this is fate?”
He was the first friend that she had made in Shangde, and fate had brought them together because of strawberry cakes. Who knew that this was more than just a chance meeting.
Perhaps it was on the day that they had played truant that Lu Yichen had a huge change in attitude towards her. He was friendlier. It was unlike the distance between them at the start.
“Oh yeah. There’s something I want to tell you,” Lu Yichen said.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly finished the strawberry cake, and her mouth was all stained with cream. Then, she attempted to lick the stains off her mouth like a child as she muttered, “What is it?”
Lu Yichen saw her childish look, and he couldn’t help but laugh. From his pocket, he drew out a tissue and passed it to her. “Wipe your face with this.”
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. “Lu Yichen, are you really a guy? You actually carry tissues! My god! You’re the first guy I’ve seen who brings tissues! You’re really a rare breed!”
Lu Yichen found her exaggerated expression to be amusing, and his smile grew broader.
“Is that a compliment? If it is, I’ll accept it. Thank you.”
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him with intrigue, and she said humorously, “So you joke too.”
Lu Yichen smiled faintly with pursed lips.
It had been a long time since he had last joked. But the words just came naturally when he spoke to her.
“What did you want to say earlier?” Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Lu Yichen looked at her with his deep brown eyes, and he said, “The school has rehired the security guard.”
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. “Is that true? That’s great!”
She was feeling happy. She knew that it had to be Yin Shaojie pulling the strings. Earlier, he had been talking proudly about how he wouldn’t give anyone a second chance after firing them. Now, he had slapped himself in the face.
Frankly, Young Master Jie would never do something like that.
However, he did it for her.
The more she thought about it, the happier and sweeter she felt.
Suddenly, she recalled that Yin Shaojie was looking for her and felt strangely worried. That rascal couldn’t still be waiting for her, could he?
But why wouldn’t he spare a thought. He was still threatening me with consequences. No one would want to go after hearing that.
But Mu Xiaoxiao had forgotten that Yin Shaojie had a habit of speaking in that overbearing manner. It was normal to him because no one around him would dare to defy him.
Lu Yichen looked at the time. Lessons had already started, and he asked, “What class are you having now? Don’t you have to go?”
