âCanât you be gentler!â Mu Xiaoxiao shouted.
Yin Shaojie was forced to be more gentle. âIs this okay?â
âThatâs betterâ¦â Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she nodded before closing her eyes to enjoy his service.
Usually, Yin Shaojie would take a short time to dry his hair because male hair was shorter. Sometimes he wouldnât even need a minute.
But even after he dried her hair for a few minutes, it was still wet.
He furrowed his brow. âFemale hair is really troublesome. You gotta take so long to dry it. Donât you get tired when you dry it yourself?â
âOf course, itâs the same when blow drying the hair. My hands get all tired,â Mu Xiaoxiao replied, her head swaying together with his movements, which made her look like a kitten.
Yin Shaojie suddenly felt that it was a pretty good idea to dry her hair to be able to see such a lovely side of her.
âIt wonât get dry if we do it like this, will it?â he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao touched her hair. Because she had longer hair, it would still feel wet even after drying it for so long.
âThatâs just the way it is. If only we had a hair dryer.â
âWait here for a while then. Iâll go out and ask if they have any.â Yin Shaojie handed the towel to her and went out.
After all, the basketball team consisted of only boys, and because they only needed to dry for awhile after showering, it was normal for them to not use hairdryers.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao said hurriedly, âNo need for that! Since weâre already dismissed from lessons, letâs just go home directly.â
Yin Shaojie looked at her and said disapprovingly, âThe weather is getting cold now. What if you catch a cold?â
He didnât forget how frail her body was. When she was young, she could easily catch a cold after being exposed to cold wind.
âAiyoh, how can it be so easy to catch a cold! Youâve seen it yourself. I have been back for so long, and I havenât caught a cold.â Mu Xiaoxiao casually wiped her hair with the towel and then threw it aside.
Yin Shaojie pinched his eyebrows. âTake back those words and say it properly!â
Seeing him like this, she sniggered as she hugged his hand and said, âWhy are you talking like this? Hilarious!â
Werenât these superstitious words something that only their mothersâ and grandmothersâ generation would say?
Yin Shaojie pinched her cheek and said, âYou only know to annoy me. Donât you know that it is all for you own good?â
But then, you never can never be too sure with these kind of things.
âAlright, alright, I promise, I wonât catch a cold, okay?â Mu Xiaoxiao said, not taking it seriously, and she tugged on him as they walked out together.
âAlright, letâs go home then! Iâm famished.â
After almost an hour for the game and all the fuss in the shower, it was probably evening already.

Outside the basketball stadium.
An Zhixinâs classmates were waiting impatiently.
One of the girls said to An Zhixin, displeased, âWe have already waited so long, why isnât he out yet? Zhixin, are you lying to us? You donât know Young Master Jie at all, do you?â
An Zhixin looked nervous and looked anxiously at her phone.
Another girl looked at her and asked suspiciously, âZhixin, do you really have Young Master Jieâs phone number? Then, why donât you dare to call him? Just call him again!â
An Zhixin had already dialed his phone earlier, but she didnât dare to be too much of a bother to Yin Shaojie, so she didnât dare to call him again.
They didnât see Yin Shaojie coming out, so they stood at the door and waited.
An Zhixin was already sweating through her palms as she smiled and said to them, âDo you think there may be a second exit here? Perhaps⦠they already left from the back exit after showering?â
