“Hurry up and open your mouth.” Even though Mu Xiaoxiao’s face was still the picture of sweetness, her voice sounded impatient this time.
Yu Zhe smiled too. Opening his mouth, he leaned forward and ate the red braised pork she was offering.
“Is it yummy?”
“It is!” Yu Zhe nodded. Whatever a pretty girl fed him was of course delicious.
“Then I want to eat this from your plate. Hurry up and feed me,” Mu Xiaoxiao urged, her peripheral vision sweeping across Yin Shaojie’s general direction uncontrollably.
Sure enough, Yin Shaojie was still looking at her as he walked with his arm around his girlfriend.
“What do you want to eat? The fish? Or the beef?” Yu Zhe asked.
“Anything! Hurry up!”
Yu Zhe picked up a piece of meat and moved it towards her mouth. “Ah~~~”
At this moment, Yin Shaojie had already left the cafeteria and stopped looking towards Mu Xiaoxiao.
Seeing that he left, Mu Xiaoxiao lost her desire to act. Pushing Yu Zhe’s chopsticks away, she said sulkily, “Eat it yourself. I don’t want it anymore.”
Yu Zhe looked at her in confusion. Why had her attitude changed so fast? She was being so intimate with him not long ago.
“Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong? You don’t like fish? How about some steak then?”
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him. Speaking slowly and enunciating every single word, she said, “I didn’t mean what I said just now — it was all to protect your ego as a man, understand? It’s impossible for us to get together, and if I want a boyfriend, I’ll look for someone like Lu Yichen.”
Of course, she wasn’t looking down on Yu Zhe. Her standards were just high.
Yu Zhe looked disappointed. “So you do like Lu Yichen. You lied to me just now and said that you were just friends. I’ve already told you that you should just give up because he already has a girlfriend! Plus, he has a really good relationship with her, and no one can break them. Do you know how many girls have confessed to him already? They’ve all gotten rejected!”
“Shut up and eat!” Mu Xiaoxiao couldn’t be bothered to explain things to him. She had no infatuation with him at all, only admiration. She had her limits and wouldn’t chase after someone who was already attached. She only wanted to be friends with him.
After school.
Yu Zhe accompanied her as they walked to the school gates. His driver was here to pick him up, and he asked her if he could give her a lift.
Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “No thanks, I can go home by myself. Go quickly. I’ll see you tomorrow!” she said.
Yu Zhe was still unaware of her status and assumed that she had gotten into Class S based solely on her academics from her brilliance in English class. He didn’t associate her with wealth and thought that she was going to take the public bus.
He pulled her again and said, “Just let me give you a ride. I’ve got a car here, and it is really convenient. It’ll be hard to fit if you take the public bus.”
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn’t say that she wanted to look for Yin Shaojie to drive her home, so she went along with what he said and replied, “There’s nothing wrong with taking public transport if you’re used to it. Enough, stop being so long-winded. Get in the car quickly and go! Don’t disturb me!”
She pushed him as she said this, stuffed him into the car, closed the door, and let his driver drive him away.
After the car had gone a distance away, Mu Xiaoxiao went back to the school gates discreetly and dialed Yin Shaojie’s number.
Luckily, it connected on the first ring. She had been worried that Yin Shaojie wouldn’t pick up her call.
“Hey, where are you?”
“I’m outside. What do you want?” The howl of the wind could be heard on Yin Shaojie’s side. It sounded like he was driving.
Mu Xiaoxiao hadn’t thought that he would have left school so fast, and she said in a huff, “You’ve gone back already? Why didn’t you wait for me?”
Since he was the one who drove her to school, it was obvious that he should have known to drive her back home too.
