She raised her hands weakly to see the caller ID. It was Yin Shaojie.

“h.e.l.lo…” she said in a weak voice.

Displeased, Yin Shaojie frowned and asked her, “What happened just now? Mu Xiaoxiao, you are getting out of hand. You dare to refuse my calls. Where are you right now?”

As Mu Xiaoxiao"s breathing stabilized, she patted her chest and said, “I"m… at the cla.s.sroom. Is anything the problem?”

“Ha ha. You dare to lie to me? You"re getting bold, aren"t you?”

Yin Shaojie laughed coldly as he exposed her lies.

Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, and she frantically looked around. Could he be hiding and spying on her from nearby? How else would he know she was not in the cla.s.sroom?

“I… This was all your fault!” She simply reb.u.t.ted him and said, “Did you know that I was just hara.s.sed by a few girls, and they almost gave me a beating?”

“What happened? Why can"t you just tell me straight? Why do I have to ask!” Yin Shaojie said in an annoyed tone.

“I just had a narrow escape and haven"t caught my breath. Can you let me catch my breath before I explain?” Mu Xiaoxiao said resentfully, thinking that he was the reason that she had gotten into trouble.

“So have you caught your breath yet?”

Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and took two deep breaths. Because she felt better, she explained the details of the incident to him.

“Oh yeah. She claimed that she was the president of your fan club. You even have a fan club… Oh my G.o.d!” she teased as she looked like she could hardly stand the thought of it.

Yin Shaojie felt displeased at the tone of her voice. It seemed like he was being laughed at.

“The fan club is none of my business. They were the ones who set it up. Don"t a.s.sociate me with them. Okay, enough of that. Come to where I"m at in five minutes. If you"re not here by then, you"ll face the consequence!”

“Oi! I…”

Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to say that she still had things to attend to, but Yin Shaojie had already hung up without even hearing her explanation.

She stared at the phone resentfully and mumbled, “What"s with that bossy att.i.tude?”

Hmph. You want me to go? I won"t go.

He had the nerve to speak to her in such a menacing tone. She would not be bothered by that rascal!

Mu Xiaoxiao was wondering why Lu Yichen was looking for her. Then, she hurried to the poster wall that he had mentioned, which was just located beside Year Three"s school block.

From afar, she could see Lu Yichen"s handsome and tall figure. As he leaned against what looked like Roman pillars, the gentle breeze carried his fine black hair, and he looked just like he was posing for magazines.

“Lu Yichen!” Mu Xiaoxiao cheekily skipped over, looking cheerful as she stood before him.

“I"m sorry. I was delayed due to some matters. Have you been waiting long?”

Seeing her cute look, Lu Yichen smiled faintly and said in a warm voice, “No, I haven"t waited long. It"s fine as long as you"re here. Come sit here.”

There was a seat beside the pillar, but he chose not to sit there. If he did, the pillar would have hidden him away from her view.

Mu Xiaoxiao then saw a familiar bag. Her eyes glimmered instantly. “Could this be…”

Lu Yichen smiled as he picked up the bag and pa.s.sed it to her. “I bought this for you. Don"t you like to eat strawberry cakes?”

“Thanks!” Mu Xiaoxiao could not be happier, and she couldn"t help but feel a little moved. She didn"t think that he would be so attentive and even remember what she liked to eat.

The two sat down. She placed the bag on her thighs. When she opened it, there were two strawberry cakes lying inside.
