208: No Romantic Feelings

No Romantic Feelings

Yin Shaojie's expression had not softened even after they had gotten into the car.2

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't dare to speak for fear of offending him again. She lowered her head and racked her brains, thinking of how to appease him.

Suddenly, Yin Shaojie said, "Do you really think that that fellow looks at you as a friend and nothing else?"

Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head to look at him. Happy that he had taken the initiative to speak to her, she beamed with joy. To his question, she nodded as she replied, "Of course! Both of you are just thinking too much! I had a lot of friends in America too, and they cared for me very much as well. You can't assume that all of them liked me, right?"

"Guy friends?" Yin Shaojie turned to look at her, his eyes narrowing.

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. "Both guys and girls."

Yin Shaojie used the opportunity of the red light to turn around and study her face carefully. Her eyes were clear and held no guilt, which meant that what she said was really what she thought.

Yin Shaojie suddenly understood something to which he felt helpless about.

This girl was too dense about matters of the heart, wasn't she?

Even though he couldn't determine with absolute certainty that Lu Yichen liked this girl, he did treat her differently and there was some form of affection there. However, only Lu Yichen himself would know if that affection had already turned into something more.

However…

Yin Shaojie smirked to himself.

Since this girl was so ignorant about romantic feelings, wasn't it obvious that she had never had a boyfriend then?

He felt a little delighted as he thought about this.

The light turned green. Yin Shaojie looked at her as he revved his engine. "Do you really like to make friends that much?" he asked, his attitude changing into an amicable one.

Mu Xiaoxiao's face blossomed into a smile as she replied, "Of course! I feel that the biggest thing that I brought away from studying in America was my friendships. It's so interesting to be able to make so many friends from different backgrounds!"

The month of her mama's passing was the most painful period of her life. Her good friends from America cared for her very much and specially brought her out to many parties. She made many new friends along the way, which helped her emerge from her pain gradually.

Little by little, she grew to like making friends, especially outstanding people from different backgrounds. It allowed her to see a different side of the world and made her feel how amazing this world was and how great it was to be alive!

Since her mama had already left this world, she had to live for her too and live well at that! She had to live a life of happiness and excitement!

Yin Shaojie couldn't help but ruffle her hair as he studied her cheerful expression and sparkling eyes.

It seemed like this girl really did like to make friends.

So, it seemed like she only viewed Lu Yichen as a friend then.

Upon determining that she had no romantic feelings for that fellow, half of the rage he had been suppressing in his chest dissipated.

They arrived at Shangde High in the blink of an eye.

After parking his car, Yin Shaojie ignored the stares of the surrounding crowd and held her hand as he led her to Year One's block.

Mu Xiaoxiao had wanted to pry his hand off, but she quickly remembered that the news that they were cohabiting should have already proliferated the entire school.

At Year One's block, Yin Shaojie still held her hand and continued to climb up the stairs.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him uncomprehendingly. "You don't have to bring me up. Hurry to your class. School's about to start soon."

Surprisingly, he replied, "No, I'll be joining you in class today."

Mu Xiaoxiao was astonished. "Why?!"
