What They Had Between Them (3)

"There's… nothing? I don't think there was anything between them. Don't think too much." Han Qiqing sounded a little evasive.1

She actually remembered that there was a period of time when Yin Shaojie and Su Lin had interacted more often. They had looked quite intimate and were often seen together.

However, she thought that it was better for her not to tell this to Xiaoxiao since that was a thing of the past. The person whom Yin Shaojie liked now was Xiaoxiao and he treated her so well, so that period should just be treated as something that happened in passing.

Han Qiqing continued, "Anyway, think about it. Yin Shaojie's not bothering with her anymore. How could there be something between them? You're just thinking too much so don't think about it anymore. You're sick now and you should be resting."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao felt like she had indeed been thinking too much.

Thus, she nodded her head and said, "Yeah, I know."

The pair chatted for a while more. Seeing that it was getting late, Han Qiqing said she should be going.

Mu Xiaoxiao sent her down.

"Alright, you don't have to send me anymore. You should go back to your room. Get well soon, okay?" Han Qiqing reached out to hug her and left.

Mu Xiaoxiao watched her leave before turning around and walking back. Yin Shaojie was obviously sitting in the living room but she pretended she couldn't see him.

She didn't feel like talking to him right now.

Unless he confessed to her first.

Yin Shaojie followed her up. However when he reached the room, he was blocked by Mu Xiaoxiao right outside the door.

"Don't come in here. Go sleep in some other room tonight," Mu Xiaoxiao said.

Yin Shaojie was puzzled. "Why?" he asked.

Mu Xiaoxiao made up an excuse. "Because… I have a cold! What if I spread it to you? You can't be thinking of sleeping with me when I'm having a cold right? I won't allow that. You should go and sleep in another room, and we'll see about it after I've recovered."

She already tried her best to sound good-natured and not let him notice that she was angry at him.

"I'm alright." Yin Shaojie held a hand against the door frame and tried to push the door open.

"No!" Mu Xiaoxiao held the door firmly with a vice-like grip, preventing him from entering. She even said, "Stop your nonsense. I'm feeling uncomfortable and you're still pestering me. I don't want to spread it to you."

Yin Shaojie looked into her eyes.

Just then, Mama Yin walked over from nearby and said, "Xiaoxiao's right. She's having a cold right now so it's best for you to sleep separately. She needs a good rest and I've already gotten someone to prepare a room for you. You'll sleep in the guest room."

His mother having thus spoken, Yin Shaojie had no choice but to give in. "Okay then."

"Goodnight!" Behind him, Mu Xiaoxiao closed her door with a bang.

Yin Shaojie frowned. His dark eyes surveyed the door.

This girl was acting weird.

...

America, Washington International Airport.

After flying for more than ten hours, they had finally arrived.

Lu Yichen supported his mother as they walked out from the passenger boarding bridge. It was now nighttime in America but the airport was brightly lit and there were many tourists around too.

This was a strange land and they were surrounded by strange foreigners.

They had different skin colors and spoke in different tongues. This made Lu Qianlan feel helpless, and she clutched her son's arm tightly.

"Yichen, what do we do now? Where do we go to take a taxi?"

Lu Qianlan was very worried. She had never been out of the country nor had her son. The pair were in a foreign land now, and she didn't know what was going to happen.

Lu Yichen was very calm and collected. He explained to his mother, "I've already booked a hotel online. We can hail a taxi to get there directly."
