Mu Xiaoxiao"s face stiffened.

Yin Shaojie squinted and said, “You did something to let me down?”

Mu Xiaoxiao"s face dropped, her arms wrapped around his waist, and she pressed her face pressed against his chest. She listened to his steady heartbeat as if to calm her own anxiety.

“If I say yes… will you be angry? Can you hear me out first?” She said softly, in a pleading tone.

Yin Shaojie stroked her head. “Tell me then. I"ll hear you out. But whether I get angry or not depends on what you"re going to tell me.”

Mu Xiaoxiao paused as she contemplated how she should go about telling him about it.

She let go of him, hugged his arm, and pulled him to the bed.

“Well… You know that time when Lu Yichen was running together with me? You have seen the photos. It was just a coincidence. Someone just happened to capture it on video, and together with some other videos he captured, he edited it into a…”

She didn"t dare to finish her sentence, but she opened the video on her cell phone to let him watch it.

“There is something I didn"t tell you the last time. I was dragged by some cla.s.smates to watch him play basketball. Maybe I was too tired after running but somehow I fell asleep. I was leaning against a cla.s.smate initially, but I don"t know why… I woke up leaning on him instead…”

As she said that, her voice became softer and softer, and she was even afraid to look into his eyes.

But even then, she could still feel that a terrifying pressure exuded by the person beside her.

Mu Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva.

“What about this?” Yin Shaojie asked coldly.

Mu Xiaoxiao"s heart trembled. Looking at the video, it was the scene of them at the blackboard bulletin corridor.

She lowered her head and said, “This is… when I went to look for him to borrow his notes… We only exchanged a few words, and nothing else happened. I don"t know how that person just happened to capture it on video.”

She didn"t want this to happen either!

It was too unsafe. She would get caught on camera everywhere she went.

Yin Shaojie"s eyes were locked on her little face as he asked, “You went to look for him to borrow his notes?”

Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid that he wouldn"t believe her, so she quickly went to retrieve the notes at the nightstand. She proffered the notes to him with both hands. “It"s true. I wasn"t lying to you. Since he has excellent grades, I thought he may have some good study tips, so I borrowed his notes…”

“I was reading it at home earlier. It is really useful. I feel like I learn much more than I do in cla.s.s.”

Yin Shaojie didn"t take the notes from her to check, only giving it a glance.

His gaze then s.h.i.+fted back to the video.

The video was replayed.

Mu Xiaoxiao was anxious to death. Why was he viewing it again! It seemed like the chilly air he was giving out would only become worse if he were to view it again.

“Don"t be angry, okay? There"s really nothing between him and I! Don"t you know me? If I really liked him, I wouldn"t be with you!”

As Yin Shaojie kept silent, Mu Xiaoxiao grew even more anxious.

“I hate this as well. Why would some people take videos of us and make them into this video? I just saw this video and looked for you immediately. I was afraid that you"ll be angry. You don"t know how hurt I felt when you didn"t pick up my call just now. I thought you had already seen the video, gotten mad, and were ignoring me.”

“Don"t just stay silent, okay? Say something, even if you"re going to scold me…”

Mu Xiaoxiao was so bothered that she was about to cry. Tears welled up in her eyes as she hugged his arm tightly.

Yin Shaojie"s face was serious. His hand held the back of her head and he looked into her eyes.

Containing his anger, he gritted his teeth and said, “I"m very angry.”
