“Xiaoxiao, how did you become so corrupted?!”
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao jolted, and her eyes reddened.
She was already feeling indignant from being misunderstood by Lu Yichen, but she could let go of that. However, who knew that even Yin Shaojie would misunderstand her as well. It made her feel even more aggrieved.
Tears quickly pooled in her eyes and slid down her rosy cheeks in big globs.
Seeing her cry so suddenly, Yin Shaojie froze.
“Shaojie you b*stard! I’m never speaking to you ever again!” Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him fiercely and then howled as she sobbed and ran out of the room.
Yin Shaojie curled his fists up into balls, looking upset.
Behind him, the Principal looked at him hesitantly. Carefully, he asked, “Young Master Jie, then what should I…”
“Shut up!” Turning around in anger, Yin Shaojie roared
Sh*t!
He cursed under his breath and hurried after her. “Xiaoxiao — ”
——-
Even though he had only delayed for a few seconds before running out of the office, there was already no sign of Mu Xiaoxiao.
Chagrined, Yin Shaojie felt like beating someone up. He rushed down the stairs to chase her.
Little did he know that Mu Xiaoxiao was actually hiding in the corner of the stairs. As he ran over, his shadow had flitted across where she was, but because she was hidden in the dark, he hadn’t noticed her.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head and saw him, but she buried it back between her knees in fury.
Yin Shaojie you a**hole!
You blockhead!
Tears leaped out of her eyes again. Squatting there, she tried to suppress her whimpers and sobbed silently.
She had forgotten how long it had been since weeping like this. Since she was young, she had been the treasured baby of the family and was even pampered when she was with the Yin family. She had not suffered so much indignation before.
Also, from when they were young till now, Yin Shaojie, that jerk, had never chastised her so severely.
Above all, how could he have misunderstood her like that?
She had obviously never thought that way!
She was only admiring Lu Yichen. She had never thought of chasing him, and even more so, she had never wanted to snatch him away from his girlfriend.
Yet, that b*stard, Yin Shaojie, dared to accuse her of that…
Mu Xiaoxiao got angrier and angrier and more and more indignant the more she thought about it.
Crying non-stop, she lost all sense of time. Her eyes felt uncomfortable, and her legs were numb.
Just then, a pair of long legs appeared in front of her tear-stained vision.
“Mu Xiaoxiao…”
She lifted her head in shock.
For a moment, she was elated. She thought that Yin Shaojie had finally come to his senses and turned back to look for her. She had not imagined that Lu Yichen would be the one standing in front of her.
Mu Xiaoxiao froze as she realized she had recognized the wrong person. She lifted her eyes, bright red from crying, and gazed at him dully, looking very pitiable.
Lu Yichen studied her as she was squatting in the corner crying. His normally calm and steady pupils shivered.
“Are… are you alright?” he asked in a low voice as he walked over. Facing her, he squatted as well and leveled his gaze to hers.
She had wept pathetically until her eyes were swollen and red, looking like a little rabbit that had been wronged.
This scene was etched into Lu Yichen’s memory.
He would remember for a long time how Mu Xiaoxiao had gazed upon him with her swollen red eyes with remarkable clarity.
Mu Xiaoxiao returned to her senses from her previous confusion. Feeling embarrassed, she wiped off her tears with the back of her hand, not wanting him to see her in such a mess.
“You… how did you know that I was here?” Her voice was hoarse from crying.
