However, no one had expected Lu Yichen to leave halfway during the match just so that he could let Mu Xiaoxiao lie on him and sleep.
The guys sighed involuntarily as they recalled the scene from before.
Lu Yichen was not only a top student with excellent grades but he was also thoughtful and caring towards girls. It was no wonder that there were so many girls who were secretly crushing on him.
Sadly… Mu Xiaoxiao was already taken.
No matter how they looked at it, Lu Yichen looked like he was the supporting lead who fell in love with the female protagonist.
The boys thought of this at the same time and looked at one another. They patted Lu Yichen on his shoulder sympathetically.
One of them recalled something suddenly and asked, “Oh yeah, Lu Yichen, didn’t you say that you have a girlfriend? Then what’s with you and Mu Xiaoxiao…”
Lu Yichen shot a look at him. “I already said that we’re only friends. Can you stop spouting nonsense? If you say any more of such things I’ll retract my treat.”
The boys changed the subject tacitly.
“Alright, alright, alright, we’ll stop talking about it. Let’s talk about where we’re going to eat after school then.”
“Let’s have grilled fish. I don’t mind having hotpot either.”
“Grilled fish it is. Hotpot is a little too expensive… Let’s have that next time. I feel like grilled fish today.”
“Grilled fish it is.”
The rest of the boys agreed.
They were making a racket, and Lu Yichen turned to look out of the window.
The image of Mu Xiaoxiao sleeping on his shoulder suddenly came to mind. Her peaceful little face looked beautiful, and her soft and smooth skin looked as though it had no pores at all andit was as delicate as baby’s skin.
At such a close range, her youthful fragrance had lingered in his nose.
Even when he closed his eyes now, he felt as though her scent was still around him.
His heart throbbed involuntarily.
He would have liked that moment to last forever if it was possible.
Lu Yichen’s gaze dimmed.
…
The bell rang for the end of school.
Mu Xiaoxiao’s head was on the table and she didn’t want to move.
Even though she had only run 800 meters, she felt as though her legs had become paralyzed and softened into mud for she could not lift them up.
A girl said, “Mu Xiaoxiao, why are you lying there? School’s out. Do you want to head out together?”
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head slightly and waved them off. “You guys go ahead. I want to rest for a bit.”
A boy teased, “Mu Xiaoxiao, how can you be so tired when you’ve only run 800 meters? Are you legit? Would you like one of us to carry you downstairs?”
“No!” Mu Xiaoxiao snorted and rejected his offer.
Another girl said deliberately, “Even if Mu Xiaoxiao wants someone to carry her she would choose Young Master Jie. It wouldn’t be you.”
“Right, you wouldn’t dare to carry her even if she let you. Shouldn’t you be afraid of Young Master Jie’s jealousy if he sees you?”
These words made all the other boys shut up and rub their noses, embarrassed.
“Alright, school’s out. Let’s go home.”
After her classmates trailed out, Mu Xiaoxiao was finally left in peace. She put her head on the table, unmoving, but her eyes kept flickering to her phone in her drawer.
Why hadn’t Yin Shaojie called her yet?
A few minutes later, most of the people had already gone out of the classroom.
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was about to lift her head, she heard a mocking voice.
“Mu Xiaoxiao, you’re so scheming towards the boys. Do you mind teaching me how to get so many guys to like me, too?”
Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her chin in her hand and gazed at An Zhixin in front of her coldly.
“What did you say? Say that again.”
Her gaze clearly challenged An Zhixin to repeat her words if she dared.
