C80 – But I Want You to Play with Me
“Eh? That’s peculiar! How did you figure out I was here?” Shang Xiaojie finally registered.
“Oh, this? Big Brother mentioned the possibility of finding you here. I inquired around, and it led me to Xiao Ming and Loong Xiaoyi who had just finished work. They informed me of your presence in this room.”
“Ah, I see!” Shang Xiaojie’s relief showed in her smile.
“But who’s Loong Xiaoyi? I think I’ve heard that name before.”
Huangfu Qiao was about to explain, but just then, someone kicked open the door and exclaimed, “Xiaojie, let’s go shopping.”
Mu Xiaoxiao entered without reservation, a joyful expression on her face. What was she clutching? It was Xiao Ming’s ears. She and Loong Xiaoyi had dragged him all the way from the hotel door to the next floor.
Why did I get dragged into this?
Loong Xiaoyi wasn’t the only one who had reluctantly come along. He found himself in this situation because, when Mu Xiaoxiao had pinched his ears and tugged at his clothes, Wu Tie had done the same to him, leaving him in quite a sorry state.
“You’re a real brute, let go of me.”
Xiao Ming was livid. Dealing with someone like Mu Xiaoxiao was the last thing he wanted, and no matter what he said, Lili paid him no heed.
Xiao Ming couldn’t fathom how Loong Xiaoyi had chosen money over their friendship.
“Why isn’t it working anymore? Who was the one who just brought me here to listen to someone else’s live broadcast? I still haven’t settled the score with you.” His grudge was evident, and his eyes bore an icy, distant glare.
What more could Xiao Ming say? Self-torture wouldn’t lead to a happy life!
Shang Xiaojie and Huangfu Qiao, who were on the bed, found themselves utterly perplexed. They had no idea what was happening, so they decided to ignore Xiao Ming and Loong Xiaoyi, assuming that nothing significant was going on at the door.
“Xiaoxiao, what’s happening?”
Bringing Xiao Ming back, what was so unusual about that? Wasn’t this the same guy who had visited Mr. Ann that day? Why was he here with Xiaoxiao and the others?
Shang Xiaojie, unaware of Loong Xiaoyi’s usual routine, since Loong Xiaoyi hardly attended classes, and when he did, he often slept through them. Shang Xiaoyi had never even glimpsed Loong Xiaoyi’s face, so he didn’t recognize him.
“Of course, we’re going shopping! Third brother was worried you might get bored, so he asked me to come and take you out to have some fun.”
Her original intent wasn’t exactly this, though. Mu Xiaoxiao was overjoyed that Mu Sifa had given her 5000 yuan to enjoy herself with Shang Xiaojie, which explained her enthusiastic mood.
“Did Mu Sifa specifically request Xiaoxiao to accompany me? Because he thought I might get bored?”
Shang Xiaojie blushed deeply, his shyness mingling with a warm feeling in his heart.
