Mu Xiaoxiao sneered at them coldly and said, “Why can’t platonic feelings exist between girls and guys? Don’t you have a friend who’s a guy that you’re closer to? Even if you don’t, how can you make such a sweeping statement!”
“It’s not like that…” The girls started to panic.
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled. She pointed at Han Qiqing and said, “What is it then? Does Qiqing have romantic feelings for Yin Shaojie and Song Shijun just because she interacts with them frequently then?”
Han Qiqing made a face of disgust. “No thanks!” she said.
Mu Xiaoxiao continued, “There are some girls with more guy friends. Do you mean that they have romantic feelings for all of them? Wouldn’t that be tiring?”
The girls were rendered speechless by her words and paled. Anxious, they asked crudely, “What about you and Young Master Jie! Your relationship isn’t so pure, it is?”
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.
She regretted trying to explain things so thoroughly to these girls.
So what if her relationship with Yin Shaojie wasn’t purely platonic? Could that sole evidence prove that platonic feelings between girls and boys were impossible then?
Mu Xiaoxiao was too tired to argue with her anymore.
The girl became pleased as she saw that Mu Xiaoxiao wasn’t answering anymore. She continued, “Tell us! Your relationship with Young Master Jie isn’t purely platonic, is it? Your relationship is…”
“Our relationship is the close familial sort!” Mu Xiaoxiao retorted forcefully.
She wasn’t about to tell other people what her relationship with Yin Shaojie was.
Moreover, she was telling the truth. Her relationship with Yin Shaojie was originally like that anyway.
However, her words held a different meaning to other people.
“What are you doing here?” A familiar voice rang out suddenly.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing were stunned and turned around.
Because the bunch of girls were facing them, they were quicker in recognizing who the speaker was and jumped in fright. “Y-Young Master Jie!”
It seemed true that people whom you talked about behind their backs would appear immediately!
The girls were, of course, cognizant of Young Master Jie’s temper and thus started to tremble in fear. They were highly afraid that Young Master Jie would mete out the punishment of their lives if he happened to be upset.
However, Yin Shaojie ignored the girls, treating them as though they were air.
He walked over to Mu Xiaoxiao. Seeing that she was staring intently at him with a weird expression on her face, he asked, “What’s up with you? Did someone paralyze you?”
Coming to her sense, Mu Xiaoxiao stuttered, “You… You…”
Did he hear the last sentence that she had said?
She didn’t know the reason, but she began to panic.
She was afraid that Yin Shaojie had heard what she last said and would misunderstand that she only had familial and absolutely no romantic feelings for him at all.
Mu Xiaoxiao was in a panic to explain herself but didn’t know how to do so.
However, a look at Yin Shaojie’s expression showed that he wasn’t angry at all. What was he thinking about then?
Han Qiqing asked, “Yin Shaojie, aren’t you supposed to be having a Student Union’s meeting? Why are you here?”
Yin Shaojie replied, “The meeting’s over. I’ve got stuff to attend to outside.”
Upon hearing that he was going to leave school, Mu Xiaoxiao asked hastily, “Where are you going? Are you going to eat lunch with m— er, us in the afternoon then?”
