âUhâ¦â Han Qiqing suddenly remembered that she had promised Mu Xiaoxiao that she would keep this a secret, but she had accidentally revealed it. She gave herself a metaphorical slap on the mouth.
She laughed to cover up her mistake and said, âAnyway! Xiaoxiao and Lu Yichen donât have anything going on between them. She personally told me that she only views Lu Yichen as a friend and harbors no romantic feelings for him.â
Upon hearing this, Yin Shaojieâs freezing demeanor thawed. âReally?â
Han Qiqing nodded vigorously. âOf course. Why would I lie to you? We only speak the truth when we have our heart-to-heart talks. She also approves of me chasing after Lu Yichen. Would she have said that if she had feelings for Lu Yichen?â
Yin Shaojie seemed to believe her words. His icy expression warmed and melted back to his usual cynical one.
âWhy did she meet up with Lu Yichen that day then?â
Not only did she meet him behind his back, but she had also lied to him after she returned.
His anger began to rise as he thought about that.
Han Qiqing shrugged. âI donât know. They looked like they were just chatting and didnât really talk about anything.â
Even something like âjust chattingâ would surprise people because Lu Yichen usually kept girls at a great distance. No one had ever seen a single girl get into his good graces.
Han Qiqingâs felt a little downcast. She had always hoped that she would be the exception to those girls. Who knew that this spot would be taken by her good friend?
Yin Shaojieâs mood looked like it had improved immensely from the chilliness Han Qiqing had felt when she had entered the room.
âSometimes I donât get why you girls like to lie to people,â he muttered in a low voice.
Cocking her brows, a displeased Han Qiqing retorted, âAre you blaming us girls? Oh please, Great Master Yin! Even though I donât know what Xiaoxiao lied to you about, think about it. Donât you have beef with Lu Yichen? If you knew that she was going to look for Lu Yichen, would you, with that tyrannical attitude of yours, have let her go?â
The answer was â of course not!
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes.
Han Qiqing already knew the answer with just a glance at his face. Harrumphing lightly, she said, âDoes Xiaoxiao know how petty you are? Youâre the one complaining about us girls when youâre hating Lu Yichen over over such a trivial matter. Youâre the childish one here, okay?â
âWhat did you say?â Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes menacingly.
Han Qiqing stuck out her tongue as she realized that she had been too presumptuous. After all, she was not Xiaoxiao, and Yin Shaojie would not be as accommodating towards her.
âAlright, you should hurry and see Xiaoxiao at the sick bay and make up with her.â Standing up, she prepared to leave.
Yin Shaojie frowned slightly in incomprehension. âSick bay? Why would she be in the sick bay? Itâs one thing for your lazy a** to go there to sleep, but why did you drag her along?â
âThatâs not it. Donât you know what happened?â Han Qiqing pointed at his phone. She had seen the video when she had taken a peek at it earlier.
Yin Shaojie picked up his phone. âDo you mean this? What about it? Wasnât this filmed on purpose?â
He had thought that Mu Xiaoxiao had fabricated the video herself in order to garner sympathy and humor him so that his heart would soften.
Han Qiqingâs words felt like a slap to his head.
âFabricated? Xiaoxiao was really hit by a ball! She almost had a concussion and is still resting at the sick bay right now!â
âWhat?!â Yin Shaojieâs facial expression changed immediately.
Before she could react, he had already rushed out of the office.
