“You call this out of control?” Yin Shaojie clearly disagreed with her, and he even took the opportunity to pull her closer into his embrace.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt that they were getting too close and quickly struggled to get free.

The students were all frightened from the earlier announcement as they stood rooted to the ground. Realizing that the two were present, they started to pay attention to them.

Yin Shaojie haughtily laughed and said, “What"s wrong with being out of control? Life is short. Since I can do whatever I want, why should I restrain myself? Of course, I should do whatever I want. That"s how you live to your heart"s content!”

Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.

He spoke with so much conviction that she was left speechless.

Just at this moment, suddenly, people at the side cried out in alarm, “I—isn"t that Senior Lu Yichen? Wasn"t he injured and hospitalized? Why is he back in school?”

Lu Yichen?

Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head in astonishment according to where the girl was pointing. Indeed, she saw Lu Yichen just as he was entering the school gate.

Yin Shaojie saw it too and raised his eyebrows. “What"s up with this fellow?”

“I"ll go and ask. You, stay here and wait for me!” Mu Xiaoxiao said as she threw aside the arm on her shoulders and ran toward Lu Yichen.

“Hey!” Yin Shaojie shouted at her as she ran ahead, but he did not stop her.

You"re telling me to stay and wait for you?

I"m not going to listen to you!

Yin Shaojie caught up to her quickly with a few strides of his long legs.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him with an expression, prompting him to calm down, restrain his temper, and be more tactful with his words when meeting Lu Yichen.

Yin Shaojie pretended to not understand.

Quickly, they came before Lu Yichen.

Lu Yichen saw them as he stopped in his tracks. He even smiled faintly as he greeted them, “Morning.”

Mu Xiaoxiao was worried as she looked at his right hand. Though it was not bandaged, plaster had been applied.

Puzzled, she asked, “Why did you come to school today?”

Lu Yichen looked gently at her and explained, “The monthly examination is today.”

Mu Xiaoxiao stared blankly. Then she recalled that he did mention this before. He had an important examination, which was the Year Three monthly examination this week. So it was today?

“However… your hand is injured, how are you going to take the test?” She was very concerned, afraid that he might agitate the injury or even develop hidden implications.

Lu Yichen smiled lightly as he raised up his left hand and said, “I still have this hand! So you don"t have to be worried about me. I won"t use my right hand.”

Rarely did Mu Xiaoxiao hear him speak so lively, but she could not care about this as she was fixated on his injured right hand.

She still felt very uneasy.

She said, “It"s just an examination. It"s not even the college entrance exam. Even if you miss it once, it shouldn"t be a big deal, right?”

Lu Yichen shook his head, “No, the monthly examination is important. I need to attend it. You really don"t have to worry about me. I…”

Before he could finish, Yin Shaojie interrupted with a cold sneer.

Yin Shaojie looked at him displeased and said, “What you want is the scholars.h.i.+p, right? Isn"t that easy! You don"t have to go for the exam, and I"ll have the school give it to you anyway. That should work for you, right?”

The school had rules that people taking the larger scholars.h.i.+ps like him must attain a high score for every examination. Especially for Lu Yichen, he had to ensure that he was always the top student.

Lu Yichen"s gaze turned slightly chilly as he looked straight at him and declined, saying, “No thanks.”
