Both Wu Hao and the Principal jumped in shock and looked at Yin Shaojie with terror on their faces.
At this moment, Yin Shaojie’s expression was not just dark and ugly but horribly icy!
His eyes were glued to Mu Xiaoxiao and Lu Yichen’s figures in the surveillance feed. The anger in his chest mimicked that of an explosive volcano, boiling turbulently as if it wanted to burn the entire screen away.
Why had he even worried about her!
He had been anxious about her well-being for more than an hour, afraid that she might have gotten into an accident.
Yet, she was frolicking around with Lu Yichen!
Thinking about how she had run off crying in search of Lu Yichen made Yin Shaojie’s mood even nastier.
It seemed that in her heart, Lu Yichen, a new acquaintance, was more important than him, who was her childhood friend!
This was just wonderful!
Mu Xiaoxiao, you’re such a good person!
Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth as he glared at the image of Mu Xiaoxiao on the screen. She was conversing with Lu Yichen, and her delicate face was all smiles and showed no sign of tears.
The atmosphere in the office felt like it had reached 0 degrees Celcius.
Wu Hao and the Principal froze in place and even held their breaths. They didn’t dare to move an inch because they were afraid of being accidentally caught in Yin Shaojie’s extremely obvious fury, which looked as if it could lash out at anytime.

On the other hand, on the other side of town.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Lu Yichen arrived at their destination after a ride on the public bus.
They had been on the bus for more than an hour, for the bowling alley was a little far from the school.
They should have arrived earlier than expected, but Mu Xiaoxiao spotted some interesting shops nearby after they got off the bus, which led them to enter and browse a little. However, she didn’t buy anything at all and only window-shopped around before she made her way to the bowling alley with Lu Yichen.
Lu Yichen studied her and asked, “Why didn’t you buy anything? Didn’t you like the perfume you saw just now?”
It was natural for girls to like things that smelled nice.
He had observed that she had kept sniffing at some of the perfumes, and she looked as though she had liked them a lot. He had thought that she would purchase them, yet she had put them back instead and pulled him out of the shop quickly, her face filled with obvious regret.
That was why he was puzzled.
Actually, he did not usually ask questions, but today was an exception.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head. “I liked them a lot, but I can’t buy them.”
“Why can’t you?” Lu Yichen couldn’t help but ask, something he usually didn’t do.
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to think about someone, and her smile faded. She sounded a little down as she said, “Because the person whom I’m staying with doesn’t like such things.”
Lu Yichen hadn’t noticed the change in her expression. Smiling, he said, “You’re such a thoughtful person. The person who’s living with you must be dear to your heart.”
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about Yin Shaojie and felt a mix of anger and sadness, but she did not acknowledge Lu Yichen’s words.
It was true that Yin Shaojie had made her upset with his words and was usually a proud narcissist who was overbearing and shameless, yet… he was actually a really important person to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head to clear her mind. She did not want to think about that b*stard, Yin Shaojie, any longer and wreck her finally good mood.
Luckily, both of them arrived at the bowling alley just then.
Mu Xiaoxiao kept her emotions in check and smiled playfully at Lu Yichen. “Are you good at this? Wanna have a match later?” she asked.
She was unaware that Yin Shaojie was currently ransacking the entire school to look for her and even more oblivious to the storm raging around him.
