At this point, she couldn't help but think of Lu Yichen again, wondering whether she should visit him once more tomorrow. A boy as popular as him might easily forget her if she didn't make an effort to appear in front of him more often and solidify her presence.
Yin Shaojie noticed her dazed expression and wondered if she was indeed thinking about that handsome boy. A pang of jealousy stirred within him.
"Come on, tell me, who is this handsome boy of yours? I can't believe there's anyone more handsome than me at school." He scoffed, adding, "After all, you’ve just started today, how could you possibly have gotten to know someone already?"
Xiao Xiao gave a mischievous smile, "I'm not telling you! But I know for a fact that you’re not the only school heartthrob around here."
This was all information Yuzhe had shared with her, so it couldn’t hurt to make more friends, right?
"Alright, there’s nothing more to watch. I’ll just go to bed now. Bye!" Xiao Xiao finished her drink, tossed the cup into the trash, and stood up, patting her pants.
"Wait!" Yin Shaojie suddenly grabbed her.
She lost her balance and fell onto the sofa, right onto his lap.
"What are you doing?" she asked, looking at him in confusion.
Yin Shaojie narrowed his eyes, his gaze dangerously intense. "I see that smile of yours... you like him, don’t you? Xiao Xiao, don’t forget, you're my wife now. Are you planning to cheat on me?"
Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but laugh. "Cheat? Please, my dear husband, it seems like you have quite a few girlfriends yourself. What right do you have to accuse me of cheating?"
She retorted while poking his chest.
Ah, his chest was a bit hard... Was he really so muscular? He didn’t seem to have much muscle at all!
Her curiosity piqued, she stared at his collar, wondering if she could peek inside and see whether this guy really had any muscle.
Unfortunately, his clothes blocked the view.
"What are you looking at?" Yin Shaojie noticed her gaze and smirked.
"Nothing at all. Anyway, I won’t stop you from chasing girls, but you’d better not interfere with my relationships with handsome guys!" Xiao Xiao quickly averted her eyes, coughing awkwardly. She had no idea why she was thinking of checking out his physique.
"Really?" Yin Shaojie raised an eyebrow, his concern growing. He had worried she might stir up trouble again, like today, when his girlfriend had gotten jealous and he had to calm her down.
However, Yin Shaojie despised explanations. If she had a problem with it, they might as well break up.
Xiao Xiao raised her pinky, "Let’s seal it with a pinky swear."
Though he thought the gesture was childish, Yin Shaojie hooked his finger around hers. It felt like when they were kids, making pinky promises and sealing them with a thumbprint.
In that moment, he felt as though they had returned to their childhood, when they were always together, inseparable.
When they were very young, Xiao Xiao had once lived with the Yin family for a while. She liked to cling to him and play, and since it was summer vacation, he had plenty of free time, so they spent a lot of time together, inseparable.
It wasn’t just that their families were close friends; their elders had a very intimate relationship, which made their bond as children even more special.
As kids, they were each other's only friend.
Suddenly, Yin Shaojie remembered something, his eyes lighting up as he clapped his hands and exclaimed, "That’s right! When we were little, I think you were about three or four, and I overheard my parents talking about it... were we arranged to be married from the womb?"
