Mu Xiaoxiao emerged from the Year Three’s block feeling relieved.
She didn’t need to worry that she would be the cause of him losing his scholarship now that she knew that his exam results were fine.
In Yin Shaojie’s car.
In a good mood, Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look at him. “Jie, you seem to care a lot about Lu Yichen actually, am I right?” she asked, smiling.
She hadn’t imagined that he would follow her. Also, if he hadn’t thought of letting the teacher mark his paper there and then, she would have worried over this until the day his results came out.
Yin Shaojie’s brows knitted as he heard these words as though she had said something ridiculous. He harrumphed, “That’s impossible!”
He’d only went because of her, okay?
Mu Xiaoxiao giggled, seeing through his pleased expression. She pointed at him and said, “You look really cool on the outside, but internally, you’re a gentle person.”
“I dare you to say that again.” He stared at her.
Not afraid of his threat, Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her chin in a hand and leaned forward, teasing him as she beamed, “I’ll give you a multiple choice question. One: You’re a kind-hearted person, or Two: That’s… You like Lu Yichen and that’s why you’re so concerned about him.”
She was trying to force him into admitting that he was actually a kind-hearted person. Even though he looked like he hated Lu Yichen on the surface, he still didn’t ignore the fact that Lu Yichen still insisted on taking the exam callously as the latter had injured himself while trying to save her.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes at her.
This girl was getting more and more daring. It was to the point now that she dared to tease him like this.
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie smirked charming and leaned half of his body over towards her. Grabbing her wrist, he pinned her onto the passenger seat.
“So you want to play such games, huh. Sure. Let me ask you a question too.”
Mu Xiaoxiao froze in place. The suggestiveness of their pose caused a dust of pink to bloom on her face.
W-What was he trying to do?
Just as she was pondering what he was going to do, Yin Shaojie’s face leaned forward and moved closer. The warmth of his breath tickled hotly on her face as he muttered sexily in his magnetic voice, “If I kiss you right now, tell me, what do you think I’m trying to say? One: I like that fellow. Two: I like… you…”
He moved closer and closer.
Their lips were only two centimeters apart, looking like they were going to touch in the next second.
Mu Xiaoxiao could only feel her thundering heartbeat. Her blushing face was flush with red.
She was frozen in a daze as though she had forgotten that she could push him away.
Just as their lips almost touched, the ringing of bells suddenly rang from outside.
This brought Mu Xiaoxiao to her senses. She moved her head away and pushed him away using her little hand on his chest.
“Oi! C-Can you not joke around like that! It’s… overboard!”
She lectured him as she huffed angrily.
Her fair and delicate face, however, was raging with a blush.
Seeing her so shy was a rare sight, and Yin Shaojie’s mood instantly became pleasant.
He guessed that this girl would never have thought that he had actually really wanted to kiss her.
If he hadn’t been interrupted by the disturbance outside, he might have really kissed her without hesitation.
He looked out of the window. A group of girls were whizzing past on their bicycles and had been ringing their bells noisily.
He smirked as he said, “You were the one who started the joke.”
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Wasn’t this called “Shooting oneself in the foot”?
