âItâs nothing; letâs go quickly. Iâm starving! Iâm starving so bad that I canât take it any longer!â Mu Xiaoxiao pulled on him and rushed forward.
They entered a breakfast shop.
At Lu Yichenâs recommendation, Mu Xiaoxiao ordered a steamed dumpling.
Taking a bite, her eyes widened from the deliciousness. âThis is good! Do you want some too? Anyway, I just finished my cake, so I canât eat so much,â she said.
âNo, Iâm not hungry,â Lu Yichen said as he waved his hand and rejected.
Mu Xiaoxiao didnât mind it. She thought he was really polite.
She glanced at the cake beside his hand curiously. Finally, she couldnât control herself anymore. âWhy did you buy that but not eat it? Is it for your girlfriend?â she asked.
Lu Yichen was startled for a second and did not reply to her. Changing the topic, he asked instead, âDo you like strawberry cakes this much? You looked like you were in love with it.â
Mu Xiaoxiao was a rather smart girl and knew that he didnât want to answer the question. She did not press it, but because of this, she was convinced that he had gotten the cake for his girlfriend.
Hence, she deduced that his girlfriend must be studying in Shangde High School!
Mu Xiaoxiao gloated over her intelligence. At the same time, she wondered what kind of girl would make him like her so much as to not only protect her identity but also date her for so long.
After finishing the steamed dumpling, Mu Xiaoxiao dusted the bits off her hand. âIâm done. Letâs go.â
Lu Yichen handed a tissue over for her to wipe her hands.
As they walked out of the shop, she glanced around cautiously. Certain that Yin Shaojieâs car was no longer around, she then gave a sigh of relief.
âWhatâs wrong?â Lu Yichen noticed her weird behavior and asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head. âItâs nothing. Anyway, do you usually have breakfast here?â
âOccasionally.â
âActually, I went to your class to look for you yesterday, but you werenât there. I heard that you were called out by a girl who wanted to confess to you; is that true?â Mu Xiaoxiaoâs gossipy side emerged.
âI rejected her,â Lu Yichen said calmly. âWhat were you finding me for?â he asked as he looked at her.
âItâs nothing much⦠I wanted you to guide me around the school since Iâm not very familiar with it.â She rubbed her nose guiltily though because she already had Yu Zhe as a guide.
âOh yeah, Iâm in Class S of Year One. If thereâs anything in the future, you can come and look for me.â She would rather have exchanged phone numbers but felt that they were not familiar enough. It seemed rude to do so, so she did not ask for it.
âYouâre in Class S?â Lu Yichen didnât look surprised. He had felt from yesterdayâs incident that she had an extraordinary status, but now, he had evidence that she was just another rich girl from a wealthy family.
What puzzled him was why she hadnât eaten breakfast. Didnât rich people have cooks in their houses? He couldnât think of why she had to come all the way to school just for breakfast.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Both of them walked up to the school gate. Because it was almost time for class, there were quite a few students rushing by.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt the intense stares of people around her and guessed that it was because of Lu Yichen. However, he was unperturbed. Apparently, he was used to it.
At the gates, Lu Yichen glanced at the security guards unintentionally. There was a newcomer, and the guard from yesterday was nowhere to be seen.
There were two guards talking. One of them said, âIn the future, donât act stupidly like Little Lee. He accidentally offended someone and got fired.â
