Chapter 34: Don’t Shamelessly Go Back on Your Word

“Yep.” Mu Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly as if she was discussing something as trivial as the weather.
Yin Shaojie’s lips twitched downwards. In any case, he was the scion of a wealthy family who was used to warm and soft beds. How could he stand sleeping on a sofa? Was Mu Xiaoxiao trying to make life hard for him?
Afraid that he would go back on his word, Mu Xiaoxiao lifted a finger, pointed at him, and said, “You just said that you would do whatever I said. Don’t be shameless and go back on it!”
Yin Shaojie was speechless.
He finally understood the saying “To shoot oneself in the foot.”
Even though he wanted to void his promise, he had to consider his dignity, so he gave in to her temporarily.
“Okay then, I’ll keep my promise!” Yin Shaojie put on an air of magnanimity and said, but in his heart, he was already thinking of a plan to reclaim his right to the bedroom.
Mu Xiaoxiao snatched up a pillow and pushed it onto his chest. “Goodnight then!” She waved to him.
Harrumphing softly, Yin Shaojie walked out reluctantly.
…
Past 10 o’clock at night.
Yin Shaojie usually went out for fun at this time, so he couldn’t sleep. Lying on the sofa, he stared at the ceiling while wondering how to reclaim the room.
He went over to the guest room that Mu Xiaoxiao had been staying in. The bed had already been taken away, so he couldn’t sleep there.
It had instead been changed to a recreation room. Luckily, his mother knew his interests and had not only prepared console games from different brands but also a variety of other games. It was because of this that he did not become angry.
Just as he was about to stand up and get a can of beer, he heard the sound of footsteps.
Mu Xiaoxiao had exited from the room, and she was even humming happily to herself.
Yin Shaojie sat up and asked, “Why did you come out?”
“I’m thirsty, so I’m searching for something to drink.” Mu Xiaoxiao went into the kitchen and took out a drink from the fridge.
“Bring me a can of beer,” Yin Shaojie ordered.
Mu Xiaoxiao disregarded the commanding tone in his voice. Not wanting to bicker with him because her mood was good, she grabbed a can of beer and tossed it over to him. She then sat on the carpet with her back against the sofa, one leg on top of the other.
“Where’s the remote control? I want to watch television!” She searched around her. Unable to locate it, she proffered her hand in front of him.
Yin Shaojie dug around in the sofa, and after finding the remote, he placed it in her hand.
Mu Xiaoxiao flipped through the channels.
He looked at the side profile of her face and realized that this girl was growing more and more charming as the years went by. In the past, her face had been round and as cute as a round-faced little kitten. Now, it had matured, and her chin was sharper and more angular, making her face look refined.
“Oi, was the guy you hung out with at the cafeteria today the gorgeous hunk you were gushing about? If that’s your idea of a handsome guy, your taste is really atrocious,” he said out of the blue.
Mu Xiaoxiao shot a glance at him and smirked. “Why? Are you jealous?”
“Cheh! Why would I be jealous? That guy is no match for me,” he said, snorting with displeasure at being compared to the other boy.
His looks and charisma were levels above that boy’s.
Sipping her drink, Mu Xiaoxiao mysteriously smiled. “You’ve guessed wrong. The handsome guy I’m referring to isn’t him of course. Since when have my tastes been that bad? I only asked my classmate to eat with me because the actual Mr. Gorgeous was busy.”
Oh please, she had been surrounded by hunks and beauties since she was young. Her tastes were very refined and cultivated.
