Endless Pampering Only For You

chapter 54

She raised her hands weakly to see the caller ID. It was Yin Shaojie.

"Hello…" she said in a weak voice.

Displeased, Yin Shaojie frowned and asked her, "What happened just now? Mu Xiaoxiao, you are getting out of hand. You dare to refuse my calls. Where are you right now?"

As Mu Xiaoxiao's breathing stabilized, she patted her chest and said, "I'm… at the classroom. Is anything the problem?"

"Ha ha. You dare to lie to me? You're getting bold, aren't you?"

Yin Shaojie laughed coldly as he exposed her lies.

Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, and she frantically looked around. Could he be hiding and spying on her from nearby? How else would he know she was not in the classroom?

"I… This was all your fault!" She simply rebutted him and said, "Did you know that I was just harassed by a few girls, and they almost gave me a beating?"

"What happened? Why can't you just tell me straight? Why do I have to ask!" Yin Shaojie said in an annoyed tone.

"I just had a narrow escape and haven't caught my breath. Can you let me catch my breath before I explain?" Mu Xiaoxiao said resentfully, thinking that he was the reason that she had gotten into trouble.

"So have you caught your breath yet?"

Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and took two deep breaths. Because she felt better, she explained the details of the incident to him.

"Oh yeah. She claimed that she was the president of your fan club. You even have a fan club… Oh my god!" she teased as she looked like she could hardly stand the thought of it.

Yin Shaojie felt displeased at the tone of her voice. It seemed like he was being laughed at.

"The fan club is none of my business. They were the ones who set it up. Don't associate me with them. Okay, enough of that. Come to where I'm at in five minutes. If you're not here by then, you'll face the consequence!"

"Oi! I…"

Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to say that she still had things to attend to, but Yin Shaojie had already hung up without even hearing her explanation.

She stared at the phone resentfully and mumbled, "What's with that bossy attitude?"

Hmph. You want me to go? I won't go.

He had the nerve to speak to her in such a menacing tone. She would not be bothered by that rascal!

Mu Xiaoxiao was wondering why Lu Yichen was looking for her. Then, she hurried to the poster wall that he had mentioned, which was just located beside Year Three's school block.

From afar, she could see Lu Yichen's handsome and tall figure. As he leaned against what looked like Roman pillars, the gentle breeze carried his fine black hair, and he looked just like he was posing for magazines.

"Lu Yichen!" Mu Xiaoxiao cheekily skipped over, looking cheerful as she stood before him.

"I'm sorry. I was delayed due to some matters. Have you been waiting long?"

Seeing her cute look, Lu Yichen smiled faintly and said in a warm voice, "No, I haven't waited long. It's fine as long as you're here. Come sit here."

There was a seat beside the pillar, but he chose not to sit there. If he did, the pillar would have hidden him away from her view.

Mu Xiaoxiao then saw a familiar bag. Her eyes glimmered instantly. "Could this be…"

Lu Yichen smiled as he picked up the bag and passed it to her. "I bought this for you. Don't you like to eat strawberry cakes?"

"Thanks!" Mu Xiaoxiao could not be happier, and she couldn't help but feel a little moved. She didn't think that he would be so attentive and even remember what she liked to eat.

The two sat down. She placed the bag on her thighs. When she opened it, there were two strawberry cakes lying inside.

"Two is too many. I can't finish them," she looked at him and said.

Lu Yichen smiled slightly and touched his nose in an awkward manner. Then he said with an embarrassed expression, "Actually… one is for me."

"Eh?" Mu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised as she thought of something. As she looked at him, her eyes bulged, and she cried in surprise, "Could it be… that the strawberry cakes you bought last time were all for yourself? I thought…"

I thought that he had bought it for his girlfriend.

But I didn't think that he would buy it for himself.

It was unusual to see guys who liked to eat desserts. What's more, strawberry cake was a popular dessert among young girls.

Though Lu Yichen looked embarrassed, he still nodded his head in admission and said, "That's right."

Upon solving the mystery, Mu Xiaoxiao laughed heartily. She gave a piece to him and started eating jovially.

"You should eat too. I never thought that we would have the same tastes. Perhaps this is fate?"

He was the first friend that she had made in Shangde, and fate had brought them together because of strawberry cakes. Who knew that this was more than just a chance meeting.

Perhaps it was on the day that they had played truant that Lu Yichen had a huge change in attitude towards her. He was friendlier. It was unlike the distance between them at the start.

"Oh yeah. There's something I want to tell you," Lu Yichen said.

Mu Xiaoxiao quickly finished the strawberry cake, and her mouth was all stained with cream. Then, she attempted to lick the stains off her mouth like a child as she muttered, "What is it?"

Lu Yichen saw her childish look, and he couldn't help but laugh. From his pocket, he drew out a tissue and passed it to her. "Wipe your face with this."

Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. "Lu Yichen, are you really a guy? You actually carry tissues! My god! You're the first guy I've seen who brings tissues! You're really a rare breed!"

Lu Yichen found her exaggerated expression to be amusing, and his smile grew broader.

"Is that a compliment? If it is, I'll accept it. Thank you."

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him with intrigue, and she said humorously, "So you joke too."

Lu Yichen smiled faintly with pursed lips.

It had been a long time since he had last joked. But the words just came naturally when he spoke to her.

"What did you want to say earlier?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked.

Lu Yichen looked at her with his deep brown eyes, and he said, "The school has rehired the security guard."

Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised. "Is that true? That's great!"

She was feeling happy. She knew that it had to be Yin Shaojie pulling the strings. Earlier, he had been talking proudly about how he wouldn't give anyone a second chance after firing them. Now, he had slapped himself in the face.

Frankly, Young Master Jie would never do something like that.

However, he did it for her.

The more she thought about it, the happier and sweeter she felt.

Suddenly, she recalled that Yin Shaojie was looking for her and felt strangely worried. That rascal couldn't still be waiting for her, could he?

But why wouldn't he spare a thought. He was still threatening me with consequences. No one would want to go after hearing that.

But Mu Xiaoxiao had forgotten that Yin Shaojie had a habit of speaking in that overbearing manner. It was normal to him because no one around him would dare to defy him.

Lu Yichen looked at the time. Lessons had already started, and he asked, "What class are you having now? Don't you have to go?"
