That voice was really familiar, and Mu Xiaoxiao’s body froze uncontrollably when she heard it. Unconsciously, she thought that Yin Shaojie had come and caught her red-handed! Worse still, he would see that she was hanging out with Lu Yichen, whom he had beef with!

Sh*t oh sh*t! She was dead meat!

She turned around in a daze, but before she could see who had shouted her name, she saw a person’s silhouette lunge forward and hug her neck.

“Xiaoxiao! Xiaoxiao! It’s really you! I thought I had been mistaken! Haha, luckily, I called you; if not, I would have missed you.”

The person hugging her did so gently and even had a hint of a nice fragrance. It was the scent of a girl, not a boy.

After analyzing the voice, Mu Xiaoxiao then lifted her head in surprise and looked at the girl in front of her.

“Little Qing? Why are you here?”

Han Qiqing waggled her brows and stared at her. “Shouldn’t I be the one to ask you this? Why are you here? When did you get back?” she asked.

“That… I’ve been back for a few days now.”

Han Qiqing released her, and with one hand on her hip, she said with displeasure, “Why didn’t you tell me that you had arrived? How long are you going to stay this time? When are you going back to America?”

“This… I’ve transferred to Shangde to study and will be sticking around for the short-term,” Mu Xiaoxiao answered simply. She should be returning to America once her engagement with Yin Shaojie was dissolved.

“Really? You aren’t lying to me, right? Did you really transfer to Shangde?” Han Qiqing pulled on her hand excitedly, her eyes wide with surprise. However, she was scared that Mu Xiaoxiao was lying to her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Of course it’s true!” Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she said.

“That’s great! This is awesome! We can hang out together a lot in the future!” Han Qiqing was overjoyed. If they were in a more suitable environment, she might have even pulled Mu Xiaoxiao up and danced in circles.

“Oh yeah, where have you been? I’ve come to school for a while already but haven’t seen you around,” Mu Xiaoxiao retorted.

Of course, she knew that Han Qiqing was studying at Shangde as well. She had originally wanted to look for her, but with so many things happening after she came back, she had had no time to do so.

Han Qiqing smiled sheepishly. “My mummy went to Paris to open a fashion show, and I tagged along to play.”

“I’m so jealous…” Mu Xiaoxiao lamented. Han Qiqing’s mom was a famous fashion designer and had to travel overseas constantly due to the nature of her job, while Han Qiqing would tag along occasionally for fun.

“Eh, then does Yin Shaojie know that you’re back?” Han Qiqing asked suddenly. The Hans and the Yins were also long-time family friends but didn’t have as close a relationship as Mu Xiaoxiao had with Yin Shaojie.

“He knows.” Mu Xiaoxiao only remembered Lu Yichen’s presence when Han Qiqing mentioned this. She looked at him a little awkwardly but discovered a hint of a smile on his face as though he wasn’t surprised at all.

Han Qiqing then realized the presence of another person. She was too elated at seeing Mu Xiaoxiao and missed the presence of the boy opposite her.

She froze momentarily when she finally saw the person’s appearance. Her eyes widened as she cried out in surprise, “L-Lu Yichen? Why are you… Sitting with Xiaoxiao?”

Mu Xiaoxiao was not surprised that she would be acquainted with Lu Yichen, for he could be considered a prominent personality at Shangde.

However, why did she feel that Qiqing looked a little weird?

Oh yeah! Her face looked a little redder than before.

Han Qiqing sat down suddenly and forced Mu Xiaoxiao to the side, studying Lu Yichen with the shyness and delight of a young maiden.
