It was only when he had started walking outside that he remembered that he should call Mu Xiaoxiao. He had rushed over in anxiety earlier, and had never expected her to be absent.
The call connected only a few rings later.
Before he could speak, Mu Xiaoxiao’s delighted voice rang out from the other side, “Jie! You’re not angry anymore, are you?”
Yin Shaojie’s heart skipped, and he blurted faintly, “You d*mned fool!”
Mu Xiaoxiao sounded aggrieved as she said, “What are you scolding me for? What must I do to calm your anger? I can explain things — listen to me before you decide whether you want to be angry with me, okay?”
Yin Shaojie had an impatient personality. He talked as he walked, ignoring her words. “Where are you right now?” he asked directly.
“I’m at…”
Yin Shaojie lifted his head and happened to see her in the distance. He stopped for a second before quickly making his way towards her. “I see you! Stay there and don’t move!”
With that said, he sped over.
Frozen in shock by his shouts, Mu Xiaoxiao stood at her original spot in a daze. Then, seeming to feel his presence, she looked towards where he was.
“Jie? How did you…”
He was really fast and reached her in a moment.
Before she could finish her sentence, Yin Shaojie glared daggers at Yu Zhe beside her and said coldly, “Do you want your hands to be cut off? Why aren’t you releasing her?”
Yu Zhe, who had been holding Mu Xiaoxiao up, froze. His expression changed a little, and he let go of her reluctantly in the end.
Yin Shaojie pushed him aside and took his place before pulling Mu Xiaoxiao into his embrace with his long arms.
“Why aren’t you resting in the sick bay when you’re unwell? What are you running around for?” His voice took on a reproaching tone as he spoke, but it was much softer than the icy one he used when he had been angry before.
“I…” Mu Xiaoxiao blinked and looked towards the direction she had been heading.
Yin Shaojie followed her gaze to the Year Two’s building block. In that instant, he understood that this girl had been trying to look for him.
“Mu Xiaoxiao, you’re so d*mned dumb!”
He scolded again, but this time, his gaze softened and his embrace relaxed.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted in displeasure. “You’re scolding me again; you’re the dumb one! Stupid Yin Shaojie, people who aren’t dumb would transform into idiots after being scolded by you!”
Yin Shaojie shot a glance at the nearby Yu Zhe and asked, “Who the heck is this? Why did the doctor at the sick bay say that he was your boyfriend? Explain this, Mu Xiaoxiao.”
“You went to the sick bay?” Mu Xiaoxiao was astonished. No wonder he had come looking for her so suddenly.
Yin Shaojie glared at her. “The main point is the last bit! Answer me now!”
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. “It’s not my fault that the doctor misunderstood… He’s my classmate who sits in front of me and helps me out a lot. Stop being so aggressive towards him.”
Yin Shaojie had noticed that Yu Zhe’s gaze had become a little gloomy after he said this. Even though this made the former’s lips curl in pleasure, he still pretended to be unhappy. “I’ll accept his presence — grudgingly. Let’s go and get you some rest. You shouldn’t be running about when you’re still feeling discomfort.”
Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him huffily. Isn’t this your fault!
If a particular person hadn’t gotten angry randomly, she wouldn’t have zoned out, been hit by the ball, and ended up resting in the sick bay. She wouldn’t have even needed to look for that particular person to make up with.
Thinking that she may still be dizzy from being hit on the head, Yin Shaojie released her and half-squatted in front of her, indicating that he wanted to carry her.
Climbing onto him would have been a very natural gesture for Mu Xiaoxiao until she remembered that Yu Zhe was still looking on right by them.
