1624: I Can't Find Him (3)

I Can't Find Him (3)

After she finished a cup of rice milk, the waitstaff started to deliver their dishes in succession.2

"The dishes are out so soon?" Xiaoxiao was surprised by the speed.

"Eat," said Jun Zeye.

He got someone to scoop a bowl of rice for her and indicated that she had to finish the entire bowl.

Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. She had just drank a cup of rice milk, which satisfied her stomach which had been empty for the entire day.

She still did not have any appetite, though. However, she was helpless against his forceful attitude and could only scrape at her rice in silence.

Jun Zeye was eating with her as well.

He picked up some greens for her. When she made an expression as though she were chewing old meat, he said, "You'll get to eat something you like after you finish dinner."

She would get to eat something she liked? What?

Mu Xiaoxiao looked up curiously at him with a hint of hope in her eyes.

"You'll see it after you finish your food," Jun Zeye said as he gave her a piece of fish.

Helpless, Mu Xiaoxiao could only stare at the heap of food in her bowl and go through her rice silently.

Finally, she finished the bowl of rice after much difficulty.

Just then, the waitstaff brought a plate over. It was dotted with cute, little strawberries.

"Strawberries?" Her eyes were stunned as she looked at Jun Zeye.

"I ordered the strawberries you like. You're probably feeling better seeing this, right?" Jun Zeye said as he pushed the plate towards her so that she could reach more easily.

"Thanks…" Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, a little touched.

To have someone take care of her so considerately made her feel warm.

As she ate the strawberries, their familiar taste seemed to awaken her taste buds.

Jun Zeye looked at her. Just then, his phone rang.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked up instinctively and met his eyes. Was there news?

Her heart thumped. Jun Zeye picked up his phone and answered the call.

"Mm…"

Mu Xiaoxiao's heart sped up as she listened to his deep and steady voice.

Jun Zeye put down his phone and looked at her. "We've found Yin Shaojie," he said.

"Where is he!" Mu Xiaoxiao asked anxiously. Her eyes were wide and her face finally had a hint of a smile.

They had finally found him. They had finally found him!

Jun Zeye frowned slightly as he said, "He's in Country R now."

Mu Xiaoxiao stared blankly.

Country R?

Why did Yin Shaojie go to Country R?

"W-Why is he in Country R… That's impossible…" Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked and a vague discomfort seeped into her heart. "It's my birthday tomorrow… Why is he going out of the country…"

In all of the possibilities she had imagined, she had never thought that Yin Shaojie would go overseas.

She thought that he was only trying to be difficult and that he might only be hiding somewhere, sulking or drinking to drown his emotions.

Mu Xiaoxiao asked Jun Zeye, "What is he doing in Country R? When did he go?"

"Yesterday afternoon," Jun Zeye replied before pausing. "But…"

However, Mu Xiaoxiao interrupted him by slamming the table and standing up. "I want to go to Country R, now!"

No wonder. No wonder she could not locate him. He wasn't even in City A.

He had actually gone to Country R…

Tears swirled in Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes as she bit her lip.

What was that jerk Yin Shaojie trying to do?

It was going to be her birthday tomorrow, but he still ran off to another country out of the blue.
