Even though she didn’t want to admit it, Yin Shaojie’s face was actually good-looking. It was hard to find someone who was more handsome than him.
But it did not mean that she needed to go crazy over his looks.
She had grown up looking at his handsome face. Could it be that she had developed an immunity to it?
Mu Xiaoxiao reasoned in her head like this, but didn’t realize that she hadn’t seen Yin Shaojie a lot recently. She also hadn’t realized that when boys grew up, their silhouettes sharpened, and they would give off a totally different vibe.
“Humph! We’re going upstairs to eat!” Those girls stood up quickly, glared at Mu Xiaoxiao, and left the table to go up.
Yu Zhe shot a look at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, “See, I told you to keep your voice down. If you go around making enemies like that on the first day of school, all the girls in your class might not want to hang out with you anymore.”
Mu Xiaoxiao objected to this and said, “I hate being hypocritical. Must I go along and agree with them? It’s boring to make friends this way.”
Anyway, she much preferred to make friends with people like Lu Yichen.
Those girls had turned hostile once she mentioned that she didn’t like Yin Shaojie. It wouldn’t be meaningful to be friends with them at all, and she hated the invidious comparisons and hypocrisy between girls.
“Alright. What do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you,” Yu Zhe said considerately.
“I’ll go with you.” Noticing the suggestive looks bestowed by the guys who stayed behind, Mu Xiaoxiao sighed speechlessly. These people were so lame. Must they ship every guy and girl who hung out together?
As they came back with their food, some of the guys had already finished their food. Before they left, they said to Mu Xiaoxiao, “Mu Xiaoxiao, you should just go out with Yu Zhe. You look good together.”
They then laughed with great amusement.
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at them but did not want to humiliate Yu Zhe. She felt that her friendship with Yu Zhe was a good one after spending half the day with him.
She hung an arm around Yu Zhe’s shoulders and shot them a look. “Yu Zhe is a good guy, and I’ll consider it. Stop being so nosy; it’s affecting us. Shoo off if you’re done eating.”
Bearing in mind that they were all classmates, she didn’t want to sound too unpleasant. If not, her vicious tongue would have offended all of them already.
“We’ll go off first then. Enjoy your meal slowly.”
After they left, Yu Zhe turned towards Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, “Was what you said just now true?”
Mu Xiaoxiao had long since retracted her arm and started eating again. Shooting a glance at him, she said, “I’ve already told you — you must know how to differentiate when I mean what I say and when I don’t.”
Yu Zhe’s face fell. “So you didn’t mean it?”
He had believed that she really thought that he was not bad and would consider dating him…
He suddenly felt a pang of sadness. Grasping his chest, he made an expression of sadness.
“You…” Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to say more, but just then, she spied Yin Shaojie walking down from the second floor, looking over at her with a dissatisfied expression.
Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him and studied the girl he was embracing.
Humph, it was one thing to cuddle another girl with his legitimate wife right in front of him, but it was another to make faces at her. She couldn’t care enough to think about him.
She ignored Yin Shaojie’s existence and looked away from him. Turning to Yu Zhe, she smiled sweetly, picked up a piece of red braised pork, and moved it towards him.
With that sweet smile still on her face, she said in an authoritative tone, “Ah, open your mouth.”
Yu Zhe looked at her, his head full of questions. Flattered, he asked, “So you actually meant what you said just now?”
