“Uh…” Han Qiqing suddenly remembered that she had promised Mu Xiaoxiao that she would keep this a secret, but she had accidentally revealed it. She gave herself a metaphorical slap on the mouth.
She laughed to cover up her mistake and said, “Anyway! Xiaoxiao and Lu Yichen don’t have anything going on between them. She personally told me that she only views Lu Yichen as a friend and harbors no romantic feelings for him.”
Upon hearing this, Yin Shaojie’s freezing demeanor thawed. “Really?”
Han Qiqing nodded vigorously. “Of course. Why would I lie to you? We only speak the truth when we have our heart-to-heart talks. She also approves of me chasing after Lu Yichen. Would she have said that if she had feelings for Lu Yichen?”
Yin Shaojie seemed to believe her words. His icy expression warmed and melted back to his usual cynical one.
“Why did she meet up with Lu Yichen that day then?”
Not only did she meet him behind his back, but she had also lied to him after she returned.
His anger began to rise as he thought about that.
Han Qiqing shrugged. “I don’t know. They looked like they were just chatting and didn’t really talk about anything.”
Even something like “just chatting” would surprise people because Lu Yichen usually kept girls at a great distance. No one had ever seen a single girl get into his good graces.
Han Qiqing’s felt a little downcast. She had always hoped that she would be the exception to those girls. Who knew that this spot would be taken by her good friend?
Yin Shaojie’s mood looked like it had improved immensely from the chilliness Han Qiqing had felt when she had entered the room.
“Sometimes I don’t get why you girls like to lie to people,” he muttered in a low voice.
Cocking her brows, a displeased Han Qiqing retorted, “Are you blaming us girls? Oh please, Great Master Yin! Even though I don’t know what Xiaoxiao lied to you about, think about it. Don’t you have beef with Lu Yichen? If you knew that she was going to look for Lu Yichen, would you, with that tyrannical attitude of yours, have let her go?”
The answer was — of course not!
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes.
Han Qiqing already knew the answer with just a glance at his face. Harrumphing lightly, she said, “Does Xiaoxiao know how petty you are? You’re the one complaining about us girls when you’re hating Lu Yichen over over such a trivial matter. You’re the childish one here, okay?”
“What did you say?” Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes menacingly.
Han Qiqing stuck out her tongue as she realized that she had been too presumptuous. After all, she was not Xiaoxiao, and Yin Shaojie would not be as accommodating towards her.
“Alright, you should hurry and see Xiaoxiao at the sick bay and make up with her.” Standing up, she prepared to leave.
Yin Shaojie frowned slightly in incomprehension. “Sick bay? Why would she be in the sick bay? It’s one thing for your lazy a** to go there to sleep, but why did you drag her along?”
“That’s not it. Don’t you know what happened?” Han Qiqing pointed at his phone. She had seen the video when she had taken a peek at it earlier.
Yin Shaojie picked up his phone. “Do you mean this? What about it? Wasn’t this filmed on purpose?”
He had thought that Mu Xiaoxiao had fabricated the video herself in order to garner sympathy and humor him so that his heart would soften.
Han Qiqing’s words felt like a slap to his head.
“Fabricated? Xiaoxiao was really hit by a ball! She almost had a concussion and is still resting at the sick bay right now!”
“What?!” Yin Shaojie’s facial expression changed immediately.
Before she could react, he had already rushed out of the office.
