However, she didn’t know why but she had an inexplicable feeling that the person hiding inside was most likely Jun Zeye.
Once she found him, wouldn’t that mean that she’d uncover what was wrong with him?
Mu Xiaoxiao hesitated for about ten more seconds before reaching out and switching on the light to the equipment room.
Luckily, she had played truant here a few times before and was thus very familiar with this place.
She was on high alert as she walked over slowly.
“Hello?”
It felt as if she was greeting the empty air.
There was a moment where Mu Xiaoxiao thought that she might have really misheard the noise from outside. However, her instincts told her that she hadn’t. How could she have misheard? She had obviously heard the ring of a cellphone!
Mu Xiaoxiao circled the place but found no trace of anyone at all.
She even checked the passageway at the back but found no one.
Could the person have slipped out the back?
Mu Xiaoxiao had the feeling that something was not right. She felt a little nervous as well and thus decided to leave.
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks.
Her gaze fell to the floor.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled by what she saw. She walked briskly out the door abruptly before jerking her head up to look at the ceiling.
A dark shadow jumped down suddenly and seemed to sigh exasperatedly.
“Jun Zeye?” Mu Xiaoxiao exclaimed after she got a good look at the person.
Before Jun Zeye could open his mouth to speak, she rushed over and looked at him with concern. “Are you injured?”
She only realized that there was someone hiding on the ceiling when she noticed the blood on the floor.
She didn’t expect it to be him.
That meant that he was injured.
“No,” Jun Zeye said mildly. He turned away and put on his shirt quickly.
He didn’t know if she had seen the bandage on his chest. It should have been hidden by his shirt before he put it on.
Mu Xiaoxiao hadn’t seen it. She only saw a blur as he put on his shirt.
His back…
She seemed to have caught a blurry image of something.
“You…” She felt a little confused and stupefied, and stared at him for a while, stunned. It was only then that she remembered what she wanted to ask him. “You must be hurt. There was blood on the floor. Don’t pretend it’s not there.”
“It’s not mine.” Jun Zeye insisted.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. “Lift up your shirt and show me then.”
Jun Zeye stared at her. His cold and hard gaze was terror-inspiring, as though he were trying to force her to back off.
However, it didn’t work on Mu Xiaoxiao. Instead, she said with certainty in her voice, “You’re hurt, right? If not, why won’t you lift up your shirt and show me?”
Jun Zeye looked at her with his dark eyes. In a cool tone, he said, “Does your boyfriend know that you’re entangling yourself with another guy like this?”
Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened. “W-What are you talking about! Entangling… Since when did I entangle myself with you! I’m only concerned about you!”
“I don’t need your concern.” Jun Zeye’s rejection was cool.
“You…” Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t know what to do with him. She said frustratedly, “You’re such a weird person. You saved me before, so you’re my savior. Can’t I show some concern for you? Furthermore, I’m not dumb. I know you’ve been looking out for me recently.
Her words pierced the metaphorical veil as she laid down all her cards.
“You’re thinking too much.” Jun Zeye lifted his gaze and stared at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her chin and said huffily, “I’m not thinking too much! You’re scared that KO will kidnap me, right? Didn’t you get injured because of KO? Did he get someone to jump on you or did you go looking for him?”
