There was no one. There was only a beautiful scenery with no sign of anyone else.
“It’s nothing.” Yin Shaojie turned his attention away and his expression returned to normal as he picked up a piece of grilled eel for her.
Mu Xiaoxiao pushed his chopsticks away. “I don’t want this. I want some sushi.”
There was amusement in Yin Shaojie’s face. He said pointedly, “You should eat more and fill yourself up, because you’ll be using up a lot of energy tonight.”
“…” Mu Xiaoxiao refused to answer, but her ears turned red, clearly understanding his meaning.
When she was eating, Yin Shaojie darted a look outside again.
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to recall something and lifted her head suddenly.
“Aiya! I’ve forgotten again!”
“What have you forgotten?” Yin Shaojie asked.
Vexed, Mu Xiaoxiao knocked on her head and said gloomily, “News of Annie! Aish, why do I keep forgetting things recently? How could I have forgotten something so important? Oh yeah, is there any news from the people you’ve asked to investigate this?”
It was evident that Yin Shaojie had not forgotten this as he said mildly, “I think so.”
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to locate an excuse and said anxiously, “What do you mean by that? It’s been so many days already and I still don’t know how she is. I’m really worried for her!”
Yin Shaojie shot a look at her and smirked. “Are you sure you’re really worried about her?”
If she was really worried, she wouldn’t have forgotten about it so many times, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
He had seen through her again…
Yin Shaojie looked at her as he tore off a piece of meat from a king crab and placed it into her bowl. “You’ve been forgetting about it everyday. Do you really have the face to say that you’re really worried for her?”
Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and pushed her fingers together guiltily.
She said ashamedly, “There were too many things going on the past few days…”
She seemed to hear a snort of laughter from Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head and glared at him huffily.
“Hurry up and eat.” Yin Shaojie pointed at the crab meat in her bowl.
This was something she liked to eat. Without standing on ceremony, Mu Xiaoxiao picked it up and ate it. The deliciousness flooded her tastebuds and she calmed down.
She chewed on her chopsticks as she looked at him and said, “Actually, I’m really worried about Annie, just that you don’t know it. On the other hand, however, I’m actually quite at ease regarding her, because I know nothing bad will happen to her.”
Yin Shaojie looked at her, puzzled. He asked, “What do you mean? Isn’t she here in China alone? She’s a girl alone in a foreign country, and it isn’t exactly safe in our country because there are a lot of bad people out there. How can you be so sure that nothing will happen to her?”
“How do I put this…” Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at the ceiling and thought for a while.
She then said, “Okay, I’ll put it this way. Annie has a really miraculous quality.”
Miraculous quality?
Yin Shaojie looked at her curiously and gestured for her to continue.
Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip and continued, “Um… for example, everyone will experience bad luck, right? However, for some inexplicable reason, any unlucky thing that happens to her will be averted. I remember that someone wanted to kidnap her once, but the kidnapper somehow drove to the police station himself, turned himself in, and was arrested just like that. Weird, huh?”
Yin Shaojie was speechless.
This time, it was him who had such an expression on his face.
“It’s that miraculous? Could it be just a coincidence?” he asked a little dubiously.
Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged. “You could say that it’s a coincidence. It could be considered… good luck? Having Heaven’s favor? Anyway, the people around Annie speak of her in this way, saying that she must be loved and cared for by the Heavens.”
