Her… Liking Yin Shaojie?
Thinking about this, Mu Xiaoxiao made an adorkable [3. a blend word arising from “呆傻” (dorky) and “可爱” (adorable)] expression before replying, “Of course not! Our relationship is not what you think it is.”
Yin Shaojie and her? Romantic love?
Impossible!
She liked Yin Shaojie, of course. They were childhood friends and had been very close since they had been kids. He was like family to her and treated her very well. How could she not like him?
She had never thought of having romantic feelings for him.
In a low voice, Lu Yichen suddenly asked, “Xiaoxiao, where are you?”
“I’m at home. Why?” This question was easier to answer than the previous one.
“Is it convenient for you come out?” he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a while. She still needed to eat, and she should be free after she had eaten. She nodded and said, “It is. What’s up?”
“I want to see you.”
They were four simple words, yet they made Mu Xiaoxiao’s heart pound. It was as though she had head the moan of her lover, and her heart skipped a beat.
As mentioned previously, she was attracted to pleasant voices. Lu Yichen’s voice was magnetic and sounded very good.
When he said “I want to see you” in such a gentle tone, her imagination inevitably ran wild.
Mu Xiaoxiao hit her little skull.
Don’t think too much! Lu Yichen must be finding her for something. It couldn’t be what she was thinking about.
“T-that’s… Okay.” Her cheeks had a dust of pink on them.
“Then let’s figure out a time. Is the afternoon okay?”
“I…” Before Mu Xiaoxiao could agree, she heard knocking on the door.
Yin Shaojie’s mocking voice floated in. “Xiaoxiao, you’re taking so long. What are you doing?”
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. Afraid that Yin Shaojie would find out that she was talking to Lu Yichen, she quickly said in a low voice to him, “I’ll contact you later. Bye bye!”
It was only after she had hung up that she remembered that she was still on the toilet. Feeling embarrassed, she pulled her shorts up hurriedly and flushed the toilet.
She hid her phone in her pocket before opening the door.
Yin Shaojie had a frivolous smile on his handsome face. Propping up a single arm on the door frame, he looked at her and teased, “I thought you had fallen into the toilet bowl.”
Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him. “You’re the one who fell into the toilet bowl!”
Yin Shaojie peeked into the toilet and scrunched up his nose. “What were you doing in there? Are you constipated?” he asked.
“Of course not!” Mu Xiaoxiao’s face and ears turned red from his teasing, and she felt like hitting him. If he hadn’t helped her today, she would have already done so.
Yin Shaojie gave the air a sniff. It really didn’t smell. He took her by the arm and dragged her out.
“Hurry up. I want to relieve myself; It’s really urgent.” He had drunk a lot of water earlier.
Mu Xiaoxiao’s reflexes were a little slow, and she only moved when he dragged her. She looked dazed. Something fishy was up.
Yin Shaojie cast a devilish glace at her. “Do you want to stay here and observe? I absolutely don’t mind.”
“Pervert! I don’t want to observe anything!” Mu Xiaoxiao’s senses returned upon being teased by him, and she hurried away.
Yin Shaojie looked at her silhouette in amusement before entering the washroom and closing the door behind him.
Mu Xiaoxiao ran into the living room. Glancing at the washroom to make sure that Yin Shaojie had really gone in, she hid in a corner and took out her phone. Opening the list of blacklisted numbers, she unblocked Lu Yichen.
She then texted Lu Yichen to explain things.
A swift reply from him came.
