Yin Shaojie stopped covering the cell phone and said to Mu Xiaoxiao, âCan you tell me why are you angry?â
âYou donât even know why Iâm angry?â Mu Xiaoxiao said gloomily.
Yin Shaojie asked, âAre you angry at me for tricking you when you lost your memory?â
Mu Xiaoxiao was silent.
Looking grave, Yin Shaojie suddenly realized that the reason that she had gotten angry didnât seem to be so simple.
âWhat else?â he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs mood turned sour as she said gloomily, âI donât want to talk to you. Stop looking for me, okay?â
Yin Shaojie sighed. No longer pretending, he asked her bluntly, âYouâre near me, right? You know that I ran out to find you, right? Where are you?â
The two girls went around to look but couldnât find her, so they came back to report to him.
Yin Shaojie thanked them with a nod.
Just then, one of the girls tugged at the other girl and said, âCould she be over there?â
Yin Shaojie looked up across the road and noticed a street sweeper looking curiously behind a tree.
Was that wretch hiding there?
He said to Mu Xiaoxiao, âItâs okay if you donât answer me. Iâm going to you now.â
With that said, he strode forward.
The girl behind him shouted anxiously, âItâs a red light! Thereâs lots of cars. Donât cross!â
Behind the tree, Mu Xiaoxiao heard her amidst the noises of traffic behind her. Her heart suddenly became tense. She finally couldnât hide anymore and ran out worriedly.
Sure enough, she saw Yin Shaojie coming towards her, simply ignoring the cars passing by him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWatch the cars! What are you doing?!â Mu Xiaoxiao anxiously shouted at him, looking very worried.
On several occasions cars passed by Yin Shaojie, missing him by a hairâs breadth.
But Yin Shaojieâs countenance was calm as the pair of inky black eyes stared at her, totally ignoring the passing traffic.
Mu Xiaoxiao was infuriated and she strained her voice as she scolded him, âYin Shaojie, are you crazy? This is very dangerous!â
Finally, Yin Shaojie walked up to her.
He was unscathed.
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs eyes turned red. Flustered and exasperated, she scolded him, âWhat the hell are you doing! What if you get hit by a car! Are you an idiot? Did water get into your brain?â
She became more infuriated as she scolded him and she beat her little fist against his sturdy chest.
Yin Shaojie looked at her fixedly. There was no smile on his face. âWhat about you? You ran out without telling me. Have you ever thought about how I feel?â
Mu Xiaoxiao paused.
Yin Shaojieâs chest rose and fell, his black eyes riveted to her little face as he said, âThere was a car accident earlier. You saw that, right? Do you know how I felt when I thought that you had been killed?â
Mu Xiaoxiao said nothing. Biting her lip, she looked away but her eyes were red.
âYou can be angry. Itâs not that I wonât let you be angry. But even if youâre angry, you canât act like this. Canât you just talk to me? If youâre angry, you can hit me and berate me. When have I ever fought back?â Yin Shaojieâs tone became softer.
