At the luxurious gigantic villa of the Hans.
It was natural for the rich to have private bathrooms. Mu Xiaoxiao emerged from one after her shower clad in pajamas with bunnies printed on. She walked over and sat down on her bed before scooping up her phone from the bedside cabinet.
She swiped open her screen. There were no messages or calls.
She frowned gloomily and muttered, “Yin Shaojie, you jerk…”
It was already ten o’clock, and she hadn’t gone home yet — why was there not a single call from him!
Even if she had not picked up his call and blacklisted him, couldn’t he be smart about it like Lu Yichen and use another phone to call her?
He had no sincerity at all!
Angry, Mu Xiaoxiao threw her phone back onto the cabinet but kept glancing at it from time to time.
Just then, Han Qiqing carried a plate in.
“Xiaoxiao, time for some fruit! Auntie Cheng asked if there was anything that you wanted to eat, like tong sui or something, and she said she’ll make it for you.”
“There’s no need. I don’t feel like eating,” Mu Xiaoxiao answered, depressed. Her chest felt suffocated. How could she have an appetite?
“Have some fruit then.”
Han Qiqing had already showered and was wearing pajamas as well. It was the same type as Mu Xiaoxiao’s but in a different color. Wearing these made them look like twins, which Han Qiqing liked especially.
The plate was filled with sliced fruit speared with toothpicks. Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at it and chose a slice of honey peach.
The honey peach was really sweet and eased the sadness in her heart a little.
No wonder people said that eating sweet things when they were upset would make them happy.
Because Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t want to eat tong sui, both of them laid on the bed after finishing the fruit.
Han Qiqing turned over to look at her. Her eyes were wide with curiosity as she asked, “Xiaoxiao, what happened between you and Yin Shaojie? Tell me!”
Now was the time for a heart-to-heart talk!
Mu Xiaoxiao said gloomily, “I don’t want to talk about it.”
She gazed at the ceiling. Her mind was full of thoughts.What was Yin Shaojie doing right now? Was he out playing, or was he alone in their bedroom? Or was her absence causing him joy, for he could now have the entire bedroom to himself?
Yin Shaojie, you jerk!Mu Xiaoxiao scolded him internally again.
Seeing that she refused to talk about it, Han Qiqing felt a little regretful but did not press the matter. “What do you want to talk about then?” she asked instead.
Mu Xiaoxiao’s heart was confused.
She turned around suddenly and asked Han Qiqing, “Oh yeah, you should know about this, right? What caused the conflict between Yin Shaojie and Lu Yichen?”
She had wanted to know the story since a long time ago! However, no one was willing to tell her a thing. She knew that Han Qiqing would know the details since she liked Lu Yichen.
Han Qiqing nodded. “I know about it.”
“Hurry up and tell me then!” Mu Xiaoxiao said hastily.
“About this…” Han Qiqing hugged a pillow and looked at her. “Actually, there’s nothing much to it anyway. In my opinion…”
Mu Xiaoxiao could take the suspense no longer. “Can you just tell me the main point?”
“Okay, okay, okay. It’s like this: There was a boy who provoked Yin Shaojie, so he punished him and wanted to expel him. It happened that the boy was Lu Yichen’s neighbor, so Lu Yichen defended him, pitting himself against Yin Shaojie, but you know Yin Shaojie’s temper — he can be so despotic, and no one can stand up to him…”
