Yin Shaojie"s face was emotionless as he said, "I"m not angry. You don"t have to do this either; you can tell the doctor if you"re in pain. The anesthetic should have worn off already, so you can take some painkillers."

Su Lin sniffed and her voice sounded a little choked as she said, "Can you not use such a cold tone of voice to talk to me? I can"t take it. It hurts me so, so much."

Any boy who heard such an aggrieved voice would have been moved.

However, Yin Shaojie wasn"t moved by it at all. His attention had been fixed on Mu Xiaoxiao"s eating figure. That girl was not curious about who he was talking to at all, only caring about eating her BBQ wings. She even licked her lips after finis.h.i.+ng it. It was a childish gesture that made her look like a little kid.

Yin Shaojie laughed lightly.

Su Lin was silent for a while and didn"t continue talking anymore.

"Rest well," Yin Shaojie said, preparing to hang up.

Su Lin stopped him hurriedly, "Wait, I still have something to say."

Yin Shaojie didn"t feel like listening to anything else she might want to say, but he recalled that she had not only saved Xiaoxiao today, but was also lying in the hospital injured, and thus didn"t hang up instantly, but maintained the call.

"Speak."

He was going to let her speak everything in one shot, so that she couldn"t bother him in the future.

Su Lin said faintly, "Do you still remember what you promised me before?"

"What?" Yin Shaojie frowned.

What had he promised her before? He had no recollection of it at all.

Su Lin was upset. Her voice sounded aggrieved as she said, "You"ve forgotten, haven"t you? Try to recall it yourself. I"m not going to remind you. You promised, so you can"t go back on your word."

"Just tell me directly — what have I promised you?" He didn"t want to play games of "push-and-pull" with her.

Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao lifted up her head and looked towards him.

Mysteriously, Yin Shaojie actually felt a little guilty. He averted his gaze and even turned around, pretending to look at the night sky outside.

Mu Xiaoxiao blinked confusedly. Pus.h.i.+ng her chair away, she stood up.

Yin Shaojie heard the sound of the chair against the floor and his heart jolted. He thought that Mu Xiaoxiao was walking over because she thought that he was acting weird.

He turned around a little anxiously, but only saw Mu Xiaoxiao enter the kitchen and wash her hands.

It was only then that he released the breath that he had been holding slowly.

On the phone, Su Lin"s stubborn voice rang out as she said, "I won"t tell you. I want you to remember it yourself, because you owe it to me. You must do what you promised to. I know that you aren"t a person who fails to keep promises."

Yin Shaojie gritted his teeth slightly and said a little impatiently, "What have I promised you? Tell me straight up if you want, if not, you can pretend that it never happened!"

"How can you do this…" Su Lin sounded like she was crying as she complained.

Yin Shaojie pinched the s.p.a.ce between his brows. He regretted picking her call up.

He was clearly aware of how she was like. It was only by completely shattering her delusions that she wouldn"t bother him anymore.

After was.h.i.+ng her hands and walking out, Mu Xiaoxiao looked over at him involuntarily.

Yin Shaojie smiled at her calmly.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn"t suspect anything. She walked back, sat down, and started to eat her favorite strawberry cake.

"Alright, it"s late. You should rest." Yin Shaojie thought that he should give a good think over this matter and recall what he had promised Su Lin.

This was because he knew that Su Lin wouldn"t reveal it to him easily, so that she could use it as a chance to create more interactions with him.
