However, Yin Shaojie’s desire for this was probably stronger than hers.
She had never, in her heart, resisted the idea of doing it with him since the beginning. She just felt awkward about it and wanted to get used to it step by step.
However, her avoidance might look to Yin Shaojie as resistance, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao began to worry.
If she was not willing to do it, she would not prepare herself as a present for him on her birthday!
Seeing that she was in deep thought, the handsome boy did not disturb her but ate silently.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked into the boiling pot and reached out with her chopsticks to grab something to eat as well.
She would eat and think at the same time.
Right now, she had to think of how to pacify Yin Shaojie.
If nothing worked, she would tell him about the surprise she had planned.
It was better than making him feel desolate, which she was finding difficult to bear.
The more gloomy she felt, the more she felt like eating.
In the booth, the two of them had fallen silent suddenly.
The handsome boy looked up and noticed that she had finished the soy-marinated beef in a few minutes. Thus, he raised his hand to ring the service bell.
The waitstaff entered in the next second and asked respectfully, “May I help you?”
“Get us two more plates of soy-marinated beef,” he said.
“Sure, please wait.” The waitstaff walked over to the cabinet, picked up the tablet for ordering food, and entered their orders quickly. Afterwards, the waitstaff walked over and filled their glasses to the brim.
The waitstaff had just left the booth when suddenly, the door was pushed open swiftly and three figures barged in.
“Sorry, we’ve entered the wrong booth,” The girl standing in front smiled as she said. Her expression had no trace of the embarrassment of walking into the wrong booth.
Their gazes were fixated on the handsome boy’s face as they forgot themselves.
It was the three girls from before.
“It’s alright,” the handsome boy said politely.
However, they did not leave.
The girl standing in front walked closer. The girls beside her were a little more shy and even tugged at her clothes, seemingly trying to pull her away.
The girl looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, her eyes seemingly tinted with a trace of jealousy.
She turned her gaze towards the handsome boy. “Um… may I have your number?”
“Sorry, but no.” The handsome boy rejected her bluntly without a trace of hesitation.
Beside her, Mu Xiaoxiao picked up a piece of boiled mutton and stared openly at the unfolding situation as she ate.
She had not expected him to reject them so bluntly, for he seemed to have the air of a gentleman.
However, the way he rejected them felt natural, and not arrogant.
The girl was sorely disappointed. She frowned and cast another glance at Mu Xiaoxiao.
Embarrassed, the two girls beside her tugged at her and said in a low voice, “Let’s go.”
It was really embarrassing to be rejected this bluntly.
However, that girl was not willing to leave. She shook the hands of the other girls off and said a little furiously to the handsome boy, “Why did you agree to let her sit here and eat with you then? Is it only because she is pretty?”
“Yes.” The handsome boy nodded, his answer clear and unequivocal.
“Pfft!” Mu Xiaoxiao spat after hearing this.
She had choked on the spice in her mouth and coughed a few times. Hastily grabbing her pickled plum soup, she drank a few mouthfuls before her discomfort was eased.
She looked at him not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Wasn’t he a little too frank?
Couldn’t he be a little more tactful?
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed that the girl’s coloring looked a little green, but the current situation made it inconvenient for her to speak up. Thus, she could only remain silent.
