Talking about this reminded her of Lu Yichen uncontrollably. Should she look for him again the next day?
If she did not constantly appear before such a popular guy and solidify her presence, he could very well forget her existence.
Yin Shaojie noticed her spacing out. Suspecting that she was daydreaming about her Mr. Gorgeous, he couldn’t help but feel a little jealous.
“Tell me who the gorgeous hunk is then. I don’t believe that there’s anyone who’s better looking than me in school.” Also, it was only her first day today, so who could she have met anyway!
Mu Xiaoxiao, laughing with an evil glint in her eye, said, “I’m so not telling you! I know for a fact that you’re not the only handsome guy in school.”
This information was what Yu Zhe had shared with her. It looked like befriending more people was a good thing.
“Alright then, there’s nothing to watch on television. I’m going to bed now, ciao!” Finishing her drink, Mu Xiaoxiao threw it in the bin. She dusted her shorts and stood up.
“Wait!” Yin Shaojie grabbed onto her suddenly.
Unbalanced, Mu Xiaoxiao’s wobbled. She fell onto the sofa and right into his lap.
“What are you doing?” She looked at him in confusion.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes. Gazing at her with a dangerous look, he asked, “Going by your smiles of longing, do you like him? Mu Xiaoxiao, don’t forget that you’re my wife now. Are you planning to cheat on me?”
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but smile. “Cheat on you? Oh please, my dear husband, don’t you seem to have your fair share of girlfriends as well? What right do you have to reproach me for cheating?” she retorted as she jabbed her finger into his chest.
Aiyoh, it was kind of hard. Was his chest that muscular? It certainly didn’t look like he had muscles there!
Mu Xiaoxiao’s curiosity was aroused. She stared at his collar, trying to peer into his shirt to see if this guy really had chest muscles.
However, her view was blocked by his shirt. What a pity.
“What are you staring at?” Yin Shaojie noticed her gaze, and he couldn’t help but smirk.
“It’s nothing! Anyway, I won’t hinder you from picking up girls, so don’t restrict me from dating my hunk!” Mu Xiaoxiao moved her gaze away and coughed embarrassedly. Why did she try to check him out? Was there something wrong with her brain?
“Really?” Yin Shaojie focused his gaze on her. He had been worried that she would interfere with his love life like today. His girlfriend had been made jealous by Mu Xiaoxiao, and he had to spend a while consoling her.
However, explaining things to others was his pet peeve, so he did not bother doing so to his girlfriend. If she was bothered by that, he would rather just break up with her.
Mu Xiaoxiao held up her pinky. “Let’s make a pinky promise.”
Even though Yin Shaojie thought that this was very childish, he still did it. It was just like when they were children; a pinky-hook, followed by pressing their thumbs together.
At that moment, he felt as if he had returned to his childhood, where both of them hung out together frequently and were exceptionally close.
There was this period when they were little that Mu Xiaoxiao had lived in the Yin residence. She had liked to follow him around to play, and since it had been during the holidays, he had always been free. He played with her often, and they had been inseparable.
The Yins and the Mus were not only long-time friends where the elders had forged close friendships, but their children were also on good terms.
They were each other’s only friends when they were little.
Yin Shaojie seemed to remember something suddenly and clapped his palms together in realization. “Oh yeah! When you were about three or four, I think I heard my parents mentioning that we were betrothed to each other when we were still in our mothers’ wombs.”
