Mu Xiaoxiao had already come to terms with the news and was somewhat full now. She looked at Yin Shaojie in the eyes and pulled his hand off.
âI know. I wasnât thinking that it was my fault.â
How was it her fault that Bai Meijiao happened to hate her and wanted to cause her harm?
She wasnât the type of person to wallow in self-pity.
Mu Xiaoxiao gave her usual smile as she looked at Han Qiqing and Song Shijun and assured them, saying, âRelax, Iâm fine. Iâm only feeling a little gloomy because Iâm upset.â
It should be normal for her to feel gloomy since she had never experienced anyone mysteriously and repeatedly trying to harm her, right?
Han Qiqing smiled back. âAs long youâre fine,â she said.
Song Shijun was relieved as well and picked out a piece of food for Mu Xiaoxiao. âHere you go. Supplant that indignation with an appetite for food! This beef fillet is quite delicious; have some.â
Mu Xiaoxiao used her chopsticks to push his away. âIâm not eating that! Itâs got your saliva on it!â she said with mock disgust.
Song Shijun clutched at his chest and pretended to look hurt. Having no other choice, he turned to Han Qiqing with the beef fillet he had between his chopsticks.
âEh, eh, eh!â Han Qiqing moved her bowl away swiftly, also looking disgusted. âI donât want that too!â
Feeling hurt, Song Shijun harrumphed before popping the beef fillet into his own mouth. âIâll have it if you donât want it then!â
Mu Xiaoxiao was now full and put down her chopsticks.
She looked at her friends and sighed, âActually, I still donât get it. I can understand Bai Meijiaoâs hatred for me, but does that warrant hiring thugs to hurt me? It does seem a little⦠over the top.â
She could still understand it if she had put itching powder into the present to hurt her, even though she was very angry about it as well. However, it wasnât absurd.
On the other hand, contracting a hitman to harm her⦠It was too terrifying!
Song Shijun shook his head. âAs Iâve said already â womenâs hearts are the cruelest! Once a girl gets jealous and loses her mind, there is no limit to what she can do,â he said movingly.
Han Qiqing, however, was not in agreement. âEven though thatâs not wrong and there are girls who look really tame and docile in appearance but have a malicious personality, I cannot imagine Bai Meijiao hiring hitmen to hurt Xiaoxiao when I look at her. Itâs not that I donât think she canât but rather⦠she shouldnât have the guts to do so!â
Song Shijun couldnât help but tease her. âWhich is unlike you, who is willing to do anything, huh? Maybe you, Qiqing, will lose your mind over love as well.â
Upon hearing those words, Han Qiqing became uncomfortable and furrowed her brows. âNo, I wonât!â she retorted.
âThatâs hard to say. When a girl is in love, all of their rationality is gone.â Song Shijun wagged his finger, looking really annoying.
Beside them, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she said, âI believe Little Qing is not that type of person!â
Song Shijun had originally wanted to continue arguing but shut up immediately at Great Master Yinâs glance.
He had almost forgotten that Mu Xiaoxiao had powerful backup.
Grinning, he nodded and said obsequiously, âYes, yes, of course. Whatever Great Mistress Mu says is naturally right! Your humble servant doesnât dare to object!â
Han Qiqing and Mu Xiaoxiao were tickled pink by his antics.

After lunch, Mu Xiaoxiao followed Yin Shaojie back to the Student Unionâs office.
Sitting on the sofa and hugging a pillow to her chest, she wanted to take an afternoon nap.
Yin Shaojie walked over to her side and sat down. He stared at her wordlessly.
Mu Xiaoxiao lazily stretched. âDo you have anything you want to say to me?â she blinked at him as she asked.
Yin Shaojie looked at her resolutely. âAbout Bai Meijiao â how do you want to punish her?â he asked in a low voice.
