The school grounds were empty in the afternoon with only a few people along the pathways.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked to both sides of the pathway and reminisced about the times she was with Yin Shaojie. It seemed as though they had hung out practically everyday ever since she returned to China.
The days had passed happily no matter how trivial and insignificant each day seemed.
And suddenly, he was not by her side anymore. She felt an indescribable emptiness.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked towards the sky and sighed as she dragged her heavy feet towards the Student Union building.
She had a feeling that Yin Shaojie was not in the Student Union building.
However, she did not know where else to look for him if he was not there.
Her eyes welled up with tears.
There was a Student Union member present when she arrived at the Student Union building. Upon seeing Mu Xiaoxiao, he greeted her with a smile.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked, âIs Yin Shaojie in the office?â
The Student Union member paused and shook his head. âNo and I think the President wasnât present this morning either.â
Mu Xiaoxiao pondered and asked, âHow about yesterday afternoon? Did he come?â
The boy shook his head. âI donât think so.â
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs heart sank immediately. He had not come to school on the previous day nor returned to the Yin residence. Where had he gone?
âThanks.â After thanking the boy, Mu Xiaoxiao still made her way upstairs, following her original intentions.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAh, right.â Seeing that she was about to leave, the Student Union member called out to her suddenly. âMu Xiaoxiao, there was a girl from another school who came to look for the President this morning. She said that she had something to pass to the President, but I let her go since the President was not here.â
Mu Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks. âGirl? Who was it?â
âI donât know. The girl seemed like an admirer of the President.â The boy hesitated, but still told the truth.
An admirer? An admirer just had to emerge right now and Mu Xiaoxiao could not help but overthink because of this.
âOkay, got it. Did the girl sayâ¦â
Mu Xiaoxiao still had something to say, but the Student Union member seemed to spot something in the distance and pointed, exclaiming, âMu Xiaoxiao, thatâs the girl! Sheâs here again!â
Her gaze followed the boyâs finger and saw a girl in the distance. She was wearing a Scottish plaid skirt and she looked pure and agreeable.
âHello, is Young Master Jie here yet?â The girl came forward and asked politely.
The Student Union member glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao surreptitiously and coughed. âThe President isnât here. If you have any questions, you can ask our Madam President here.â
He gestured to Mu Xiaoxiao as he said. Madam President?
Upon hearing this, the girl froze visibly for a moment as surprise and disappointment flashed in her eyes.
She looked towards Mu Xiaoxiao and realized how pretty she was. She was exquisite and refined and she had a noble and pure aura. The girl pursed her lips.
Mu Xiaoxiao caught the emotions in the girlâs eyes and seemed to understand something.
âHello, may I know why youâre looking for Yin Shaojie?â Mu Xiaoxiao asked genuinely. She even called out Yin Shaojieâs name so that the listener would know how important she was in Yin Shaojieâs heart.
The girl bit her lip lightly and squeezed the bag in her hand.
âUm⦠I have something to return him.â
âWhat is it? You can pass it to me.â Mu Xiaoxiaoâs gaze fell to the bag the girl was holding.
