The boy who was pulled aside studied her from head to toe . With an air of complete understanding, he said, "Another one looking for him to confess? You're late . He's been called out by another girl and is probably being gifted a love letter somewhere . Come back tomorrow but remember to be earlier . That girl was already waiting outside the classroom even before class had ended . "
He waved at her and left .
Mu Xiaoxiao was left rooted to the spot and didn't know whether to laugh or cry . She had wanted to say that she was Lu Yichen's friend and not someone who was here to make a confession, but the boy had left before she could explain it to him .
She shrugged . "It looks like I'm not fated to have a meal with him today . Yu Zhe, let's go and eat on our own!"
Yu Zhe seemed to have already predicted such a situation . "Before, I've only heard stories about girls queuing up to profess their love for him every day, but now I believe them . "
"That's totally normal . He's not only handsome but also extremely intelligent and has such a gentle demeanor—of course girls will go crazy over him!" As Mu Xiaoxiao declared this, she felt a little rueful . Someone like Lu Yichen was extraordinarily remarkable and someone she should be friends with .
Upon hearing what she said, Yu Zhe made a flabbergasted expression as though what she said was a fantastic story . He said unbelievingly, "Gentle? Did you get it wrong? Lu Yichen is infamous for his haughtiness—despite so many girls confessing to him every day, he has never given them any consideration . "
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a while before shaking her head . "No, I don't think so . I think he's quite gentle—he's definitely not haughty as you say he is," she declared .
"He's only gentle with you then . " However, Yu Zhe was still in disbelief . He had only known of the cold and haughty side of Lu Yichen and never heard anyone describe him as gentle .
Mu Xiaoxiao drew back the corners of her mouth and smiled, letting her imagination run wild . "Really? Could it be that I'm special to him?"
Yu Zhe felt a headache coming when he saw her expression . He asked, "What do we do now? Are we going to the cafeteria to eat? I'm hungry . "
"Let's go . We're going to eat of course; I'm hungry too . I wanted to find Lu Yichen to eat together, but it's a pity that he's not here . It's okay though . I'll look for him next time . "
She said this as some thoughts ran through her mind while grinning madly .
Yu Zhe couldn't help but ridicule her, saying, "You should just drop it . I don't think you actually know him — you just want to get acquainted with him, right? I'll advise you to give up . A person such as Lu Yichen isn't someone you should want to be friends with . "
"I'm not going to explain it to you; we're going to eat! Where's the cafeteria? Why is this school so big? My legs hurt from walking . "
Mu Xiaoxiao started to complain after walking just a little .
Actually, her school in America was also quite big, but since she had walked a fair bit this afternoon and the day before, her legs were really aching now .
Yu Zhe suspected that she was pretending, but because her pinched faced seemed to reflect true discomfort, his heart softened . "Do you want me to carry you?" he asked .
Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to agree but stopped . "How far are we from the cafeteria?" she asked .
"It's not that far — it's just around the corner . "
Mu Xiaoxiao said resentfully, "Never mind then… We're going to get there soon anyway . Come on then . "
If it was still far, she wouldn't mind letting Yu Zhe carry her . She rejected the idea to avoid weird stares and because it was so close .
