With her thoughts wandering, Mu Xiaoxiao replied, "I think it's Mathematics, but I don't want to go . "
Actually, she did not care about the academic program here, since she would have to leave for America again sooner or later . Thus, it didn't matter to her whether she attended the classes in China or not, since she would not need to take the college entrance exam .
Lu Yichen squinted at her for a while, looking hesitant . Finally, he said, "Uh… I have physical education class right now . We have a basketball competition . Would you like to come watch?"
"Okay," she said, agreeing without thinking . Her growing anxiousness was becoming unbearable . She couldn't sit still, and she suddenly stood up and said to him, "Uh… I have something urgent to attend to . I have to go . I'll find you later when I'm free!"
"Uh-huh . Do you know where the basketball court is?" Lu Yichen thoughtfully considered that she might be unfamiliar with the place since she was new .
"I don't know… It's okay . I'll ask someone . "
She was in a hurry to go .
Lu Yichen laughed as he saw her anxious behavior . He didn't want to hold her up any longer, and he said, "I shall not keep you then . If you can't find the place later, just give me a call . "
"Alright, that'll be it then! I'm off . Bye bye!"
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't stay for a moment longer . She ran all the way to Year Two's school block . She was gasping for breath and supporting herself with her hands at her knees . Just as she about to walk up the stairs, someone suddenly grabbed hold of her arm .
She jumped in fright . "What are you doing!"
"It's me," someone with a deep voice said .
Hearing that familiar voice, she turned to look at Yin Shaojie and patted her chest to calm herself . "You scared me! Don't you know that I could have died from fright? Why are you here?"
"Waiting for you . " Yin Shaojie's deep dark eyes showed displeasure . He scanned the direction that she came from . Isn't that Year Three's school block?
He squinted, looked at her closely, and said to her in a severe manner, "Where did you go just now? Didn't I tell you to be here in five minutes? It's past 15 minutes now! I said that there would be consequences . Tell me, what should I do with you?"
"Eh… uh…"
A certain wretch was searching desperately in her mind for a lie, a way to explain the situation .
With folded arms and slanted lips, Yin Shaojie looked at her and said, "Tell me . Tell me a reasonable lie and see if I will accept it . Come on, tell me . "
Since he was young, he had seen enough of her idiosyncrasies to recognize whether she was lying . How could he not know if she was lying?
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly looked like a deflated balloon . She stared at him with her big and innocent looking eyes and said, "I wasn't going to lie… You seem to be implying that all that I can tell you are lies . "
"Then tell me . Where did you go just now?"
"I just…" Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao didn't dare to speak . This rascal seemed to have a thing against Lu Yichen . If he knew that she went to look for Lu Yichen first and neglected him, he was probably going to get angry again .
"You went to look for that Lu guy?" Yin Shaojie looked stern as he finished her sentence for her .
Just thinking about how she chose to meet Lu Yichen instead of him when they were both looking for her at the same time, Yin Shaojie felt a burning rage rising in his chest .
"No, I didn't!" Mu Xiaoxiao instinctively denied . But as soon as she lied, she felt an intense unease growing in her heart, constricting her chest . She was frantic and afraid of the unimaginable consequences when her lie would be exposed .
What now? I shouldn't have denied it!
