Mu Xiaoxiao sneered at them coldly and said, âWhy canât platonic feelings exist between girls and guys? Donât you have a friend whoâs a guy that youâre closer to? Even if you donât, how can you make such a sweeping statement!â
âItâs not like thatâ¦â The girls started to panic.
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled. She pointed at Han Qiqing and said, âWhat is it then? Does Qiqing have romantic feelings for Yin Shaojie and Song Shijun just because she interacts with them frequently then?â
Han Qiqing made a face of disgust. âNo thanks!â she said.
Mu Xiaoxiao continued, âThere are some girls with more guy friends. Do you mean that they have romantic feelings for all of them? Wouldnât that be tiring?â
The girls were rendered speechless by her words and paled. Anxious, they asked crudely, âWhat about you and Young Master Jie! Your relationship isnât so pure, it is?â
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.
She regretted trying to explain things so thoroughly to these girls.
So what if her relationship with Yin Shaojie wasnât purely platonic? Could that sole evidence prove that platonic feelings between girls and boys were impossible then?
Mu Xiaoxiao was too tired to argue with her anymore.
The girl became pleased as she saw that Mu Xiaoxiao wasnât answering anymore. She continued, âTell us! Your relationship with Young Master Jie isnât purely platonic, is it? Your relationship isâ¦â
âOur relationship is the close familial sort!â Mu Xiaoxiao retorted forcefully.
She wasnât about to tell other people what her relationship with Yin Shaojie was.
Moreover, she was telling the truth. Her relationship with Yin Shaojie was originally like that anyway.
However, her words held a different meaning to other people.
âWhat are you doing here?â A familiar voice rang out suddenly.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing were stunned and turned around.
Because the bunch of girls were facing them, they were quicker in recognizing who the speaker was and jumped in fright. âY-Young Master Jie!â
It seemed true that people whom you talked about behind their backs would appear immediately!
The girls were, of course, cognizant of Young Master Jieâs temper and thus started to tremble in fear. They were highly afraid that Young Master Jie would mete out the punishment of their lives if he happened to be upset.
However, Yin Shaojie ignored the girls, treating them as though they were air.
He walked over to Mu Xiaoxiao. Seeing that she was staring intently at him with a weird expression on her face, he asked, âWhatâs up with you? Did someone paralyze you?â
Coming to her sense, Mu Xiaoxiao stuttered, âYou⦠Youâ¦â
Did he hear the last sentence that she had said?
She didnât know the reason, but she began to panic.
She was afraid that Yin Shaojie had heard what she last said and would misunderstand that she only had familial and absolutely no romantic feelings for him at all.
Mu Xiaoxiao was in a panic to explain herself but didnât know how to do so.
However, a look at Yin Shaojieâs expression showed that he wasnât angry at all. What was he thinking about then?
Han Qiqing asked, âYin Shaojie, arenât you supposed to be having a Student Unionâs meeting? Why are you here?â
Yin Shaojie replied, âThe meetingâs over. Iâve got stuff to attend to outside.â
Upon hearing that he was going to leave school, Mu Xiaoxiao asked hastily, âWhere are you going? Are you going to eat lunch with mâ er, us in the afternoon then?â
