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!
