Chapter 262: How Did He Confess to You?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A few days later.
At Shangde High.
When the results of the monthly examination were announced, Lu Yichen’s results astounded the entire school once again, showing the rest what being a true top student meant.
The school had initially been worried that he wouldn’t be able to attend a mathematics competition afterward, but luckily, his hand was healing well and was almost fully recovered.
Today was the day that he would head to City B for the mathematics competition.
The girls who had a crush on Lu Yichen gathered at the school gates to send him off upon getting wind that he was going to the competition.
“All the best, Senior Yichen! Remember to take care of yourself; if your hand hurts, don’t force it.”
“All the best, Senior Yichen! We believe you’ll get first prize!”
We’ll be waiting in school to welcome your victory!”
The cheers of encouragement repeated continuously.
Mu Xiaoxiao was pulled forward by Han Qiqing. It took an effort to squeeze to the front from the middle of the crowd.
“Lu Yichen!” Seeing that he was about to enter the car, Han Qiqing shouted frantically.
Lu Yichen already had a foot in the vehicle, but hearing her voice and seeing Mu Xiaoxiao as he turned around, he got off the car.
He walked towards her and smiled lightly. “Why are you here?”
The girls around them started to shriek at the sight of his little smile.
“Oh my god, Senior Yichen smiled! He smiled! He’s so handsome!”
Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her nose and glanced askance at Han Qiqing. It wouldn’t be appropriate to say that she had been dragged over by Han Qiqing.
She smiled at Lu Yichen as she said, “I heard that you were going off for a competition, and I’m here to cheer you on.”
Actually, she felt that there wasn’t any need to cheer for him, for it should be a piece of cake to win this mathematics competition with his academic ability.
She believed in him wholeheartedly.
Han Qiqing waited for Mu Xiaoxiao to finish her speech before offering the bag in her hands in front of Lu Yichen. She smiled as she said, “This is something that I… and Mu Xiaoxiao made together! Eat this while you’re traveling; we made a lot, so you can share it with the other students and teachers.”
Lu Yichen looked towards Mu Xiaoxiao. “Did you really make this?”
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn’t expose Qiqing’s lie and thus replied, “Yeah!”
“Thank you,” Lu Yichen replied before finally taking the bag willingly.
Even though Han Qiqing knew that he had accepted the bag because of Xiaoxiao, she was still gratified by him carrying the food that she had made and the thought that he would eat it later.
“We’ll not hold you up anymore then. All the best for your competition!” With those words, Han Qiqing pulled Mu Xiaoxiao back into the crowd.
Lu Yichen gave them a wave before entering the vehicle.
The girls around them shrieked again as though his wave was meant for them and waved back hastily.
“Senior Yichen! All the best! We’ll be waiting for your return!”
The vehicle left Shangde High.
Han Qiqing had been staring at the rear of the vehicle and collected her gaze reluctantly.
Mu Xiaoxiao reached out and waved a hand in front of her face. She smiled as she teased, “Do you mind not being so lovestruck?”
Han Qiqing finally turned to look at her. “I don’t even say anything when you and Yin Shaojie whisper sweet nothings to each other and engage in public displays of affection!”
“Since when do we do that!” Mu Xiaoxiao said.
“Still denying it?” Han Qiqing hugged her arm and wagged her brows suggestively. In a whisper, she asked, “Oh yeah, how did Yin Shaojie confess to you? I’m dying of curiosity! With such a tyrannical personality, did he also sound bullying when he confessed?”

Chapter 263: He Liked Her, Right?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao looked a little awkward. “He didn’t confess to me…”
She felt a little down as she thought about this.
That jerk had stolen a kiss secretly but hadn’t told her in no uncertain terms that he liked her.
He had been teasing her a little now and then recently, and the atmosphere between them had been quite charged. However, neither of them had gone beyond that.
Han Qiqing exclaimed in surprise, “He hasn’t confessed? Is it because you’re already engaged? Is that why he thinks it’s okay to skip this step? How could he!”
“No, that’s not it!” Mu Xiaoxiao was a little frustrated. She didn’t know how to explain her tricky relationship with Yin Shaojie.
“Anyway, our relationship isn’t like what you think. It’s still like before — we’re each other’s really good friends.”
Really good childhood friends.
Not a romantic couple.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little resentful as she thought about this.
She really didn’t know what Yin Shaojie was thinking.
He had stolen a secret kiss from her, which meant that he really liked her, right?
But why did he…
Upon hearing her words, Han Qiqing’s eyes widened in surprise. Tugging at her violently, she asked, “Aren’t you… dating? People who aren’t blind can clearly tell that you’re dating!”
“We aren’t, really…” Mu Xiaoxiao said a little crestfallenly.
Han Qiqing rubbed her chin and said, “At first, I’d thought that you still hadn’t realized it, but you told me in person at the hot spring villa that you liked him, which means that you’re not that dense regarding romantic feelings.”
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. “I-I told you that I liked him?! When did that happen!”
Han Qiqing was puzzled as well and replied, “Didn’t I ask you? It was that time at the hot spring villa where we took a soak in the hot spring. I asked, and you replied that you liked him. Don’t you remember?”
That was impossible, right? It had just happened last weekend. How could she have forgotten?
Han Qiqing clapped her palms together as realization dawned on her. “I know! Weren’t you drunk on that day? Maybe your memories blacked out after you woke up from being drunk and that’s why you can’t remember it.”
“That’s possible… But I don’t think I’d say that I liked him, though.”
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little confused.
She had only realized that she had felt differently towards Yin Shaojie after that day.
She hadn’t known that Yin Shaojie had stolen a secret kiss before she got drunk while in the hot spring. At that time, she was still ignorant of her feelings. How could she have said that she liked Yin Shaojie then?
“I get it now.” Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I think I did say that, but it had a different meaning from what you thought it was.”
Now thoroughly confused by her, Han Qiqing asked, “How about now, then? Do you like Yin Shaojie, or not?”
“I…” Mu Xiaoxiao was shy. She felt that it was a little weird to confess to liking Yin Shaojie so suddenly.
“Hurry up and tell me! I’m going to die from the suspense!” Han Qiqing shook her arm.
Blushing, Mu Xiaoxiao said, “About him, I-I…”
Just then, a few girls suddenly blocked their path.
“Mu Xiaoxiao, we have something to tell you!”
At first, Mu Xiaoxiao thought that they had come looking for trouble, but upon taking a closer look, she realized that they were not behaving arrogantly but a little cowardly.
The girls who spoke earlier also seemed as though they had to summon their courage to do so.
“What’s the matter?” she looked at them and asked uncomprehendingly.
