1140: His Other Identity (12)

His Other Identity (12)

After all, they had been separated for four long years.2

People constantly changed. It wasn't possible for things to stay the same forever.

Mu Xiaoxiao was glad that even after four years their relationship was still going strong.

Yin Shaojie laughed, "Of course I can't be the one to tell you. You have to find out."

Mu Xiaoxiao snorted, glancing at Nimo as she said unhappily, "How did you come to know Nimo? You say that he is an ordinary friend, but you're pretty close with him. You are very close friends, right? He doesn't understand Chinese, so you two didn't meet in China, right?"

He never expected her to be so sharp. Yin Shaojie was surprised.

He coughed, pretending to be nonchalant as he said, "We're not that close. Isn't that how all foreigners interact with each other? They act as if they are very close friends when they have only just met. They're quite easy-going when it comes to making friends, unlike us Chinese who are more particular about it."

"Are they?" Mu Xiaoxiao didn't seem like she believed it.

After spending four years in America, she had grown familiar with the ways Americans treated each other.

"Well, let's eat first, alright? Aren't you hungry?" Yin Shaojie patted her head and told her not to dwell so much on that thought. If she kept asking he had the feeling that she would get more suspicious.

Although he was very good at hiding things, he didn't like to lie to her. Furthermore, the more lies he had to come up with, the harder it would be to interact with her. It was a feeling that he didn't like.

Mu Xiaoxiao wasn't someone who would give up so easily. While she was eating, she turned to ask Nimo, "Nimo, how long have you known Jie?"

Nimo's eyes were amused. He looked to Yin Shaojie and said to her, "How long have I known him… It's been quite a while. Do you wanna know how Jie and I met?"

"Yeah, yeah!" Mu Xiaoxiao nodded like a little chick pecking rice.

Yin Shaojie gave Nimo a look of warning.

Although he knew that Nimo wasn't the kind of person who would do things that were improper, it was strange of him to cause a commotion like earlier.

Nimo met his gaze, pretending to be obtuse. He thought for a moment before saying to Mu Xiaoxiao, "Let me think. I met him… I think it was at a casino in Las Vegas. How did we meet… It was very exciting and complicated. Do you really want to hear about it?"

She nodded quickly. "Yes! Tell me!"

"Hey!" Seeing that things weren't going the right way, Yin Shaojie couldn't help but warn Nimo.

"You're afraid of her knowing? What's there to be afraid of?" Nimo laughed mischievously.

Yin Shaojie said helplessly, "Can you stop it?"

Nimo seemed like he was going to tell Xiaoxiao.

Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, staring at Yin Shaojie. In a quick-witted manner, she said, "You seem like you don't want me to know. Why is that? Did you do something unspeakable? He said that you two have known each other for a long time. How old were you a few years ago? And you actually went to the casino? Who took you there?"
