Lu Yichen rubbed his brows a little. He seemed a little sad as he said, “I’ve already thought of you as a friend. Could it be that you haven’t?”

“Of course not! No, of course!” Mu Xiaoxiao realized that she had spoken incorrectly and quickly corrected herself. Afraid that he would misunderstand, she even nodded her head vigorously, resembling a little chick pecking at grains.

How could she not think of him as a friend when she had been wanting to be friends with him since the start? It was just that she had never thought that things would progress so quickly.

Originally, she had thought that he was a person who didn’t let others into his heart easily and that she would have to hang out with him for a long time before he would consider her a friend.

Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao was over the moon when she heard him say this.

Lu Yichen seemed satisfied with this answer. His gaze held a smile as he looked at her. Pushing the strawberry cake in front of her, he said, “Then call me Yichen from now on, okay? Hurry up and eat the cake.”

“Okay, Yichen!” Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes resembled crescents as she smiled. Thinking about it, it seemed like he also called her Xiaoxiao, and she felt that it would be weird if he had called her Mu Xiaoxiao.

The taste of fresh strawberries melted to the tip of her tongue as she tasted a piece of the cake. Her eyes sparkled.

“This is really good!” No wonder this shop was so expensive; it was worth the money.

Mu Xiaoxiao pushed the other piece of cake towards him and urged, “Taste some too. The taste is really good, and it doesn’t feel like something people will get tired of no matter how much they eat. I feel like eating another one.”

“Want to order another?” He gave a little smile as he took up his fork and ate a bite. The deliciousness made his eyes light up, and he nodded at her in agreement.

He couldn’t help but think that this was the best-tasting cake in the entire world as he studied the look of satisfaction on her face.

Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head quickly. “No! One piece is enough.”

If she really kept eating the cake just because she could never get tired of it, wouldn’t he go bankrupt?

Mu Xiaoxiao finished the entire cake in under a minute. Playing with the leftover cream, she looked at him and asked, “Oh yeah, why are you looking for me so urgently? Is it something important?”

Hearing this, Lu Yichen put down his fork slowly and studied her. His beautiful voice said unhurriedly, “At first, I had been a little worried about your injury, but seeing that you’re so lively, you should really be fine.”

From what he had heard, she had been surrounded by a bunch of girls, had injured her hand, and had bled a lot. Someone had even exaggerated and said that she had suffered internal injuries from being kicked and had vomited a lot of blood.

Even though she had said on the phone that she was fine, he still wanted to confirm it with his own eyes.

“It’s just this?” Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She had thought that he had something more important and had mentally prepared herself for it. She had never guessed that the truth would be so different from her imagination.

“No, there’s something else that I want to ask you.” Lu Yichen noticed her seemingly disappointed expression and couldn’t help but smile.

Her expressions were always so vivid, as though all her emotions were simply written on her face.

Lu Yichen stared into her eyes steadily and asked seriously, “You and Yin Shaojie… What’s your relationship?”

“Uh… About that…” Mu Xiaoxiao scratched her head. “How do I say this, I’m his…”

Lu Yichen smiled lightly and spoke his guess. “You’ve known him for a long time, haven’t you? You’ve already been acquainted before you transferred to Shangde and you’re very familiar with each other. Am I right?”

Mu Xiaoxiao had never thought that he would put it out so straightforwardly. Mu Xiaoxiao was a little confused. Did she not have to continue hiding the truth then?

Just then, a loud voice shouted from outside, “Mu Xiaoxiao!”
