C110 – Go to Tell Mu Sifa You Like Him
It was Jia Tianxia who initially discovered that Shang Xiaojie might still be in the restroom, potentially encountering some trouble. He promptly made his way upstairs.
However, as he entered the elevator, he encountered Mu Sifa, who seemed to be in a hurry.
Later on, Jia Tianxia learned that Mu Sifa had already checked the video game monitoring system and hadn’t seen any sign of Shang Xiaojie entering.
Jia Tianxia shared his concerns with Mu Sifa, expressing a strong belief that Shang Xiaojie might be in the bathroom, which is why he had come looking for him.
“Is something wrong?” Shang Xiaojie sensed that something was amiss and inquired with a touch of worry when he saw Mu Sifa.
Mu Sifa picked him up and reassured him, saying, “Everything is okay, don’t worry.”
Mu Sifa chose not to disclose the situation to Shang Xiaojie, not because it wasn’t important, but because he didn’t want to frighten him.
“Then let’s go watch the movie! Is it time yet?” Shang Xiaojie, relieved to hear that everything was fine, immediately hugged Mu Sifa’s neck and exclaimed happily.
“It’s just a movie, why would it make me happy?” Mu Sifa playfully pinched Ye Zichen’s cheek and grinned.
Shang Xiaojie suddenly felt embarrassed, averting his gaze with a slightly flushed face. “Well, um, it’s because I’m going with you,” he mumbled shyly. “Of course that makes me happy.” As he confessed, he stole a quick glance at Mu Sifa’s face, his cheeks burning with shyness.
“Do you think I’d be foolish enough to watch a movie just for your company?”
Shang Xiaojie looked bashful, his eyes gleaming as he avoided direct eye contact with Mu Sifa.
“And why would you think that?”
Mu Sifa regarded Shang Xiaojie with a serious expression, making it difficult to read his thoughts.
Perhaps it was because Shang Xiaojie’s feelings were so sincere that Mu Sifa began to feel even more guilty.
“Because I’m still a kid! You’re an adult, and you probably think I’m naive and clueless. But I had no choice! It’s my first time going to a movie with someone I care about.”
As Shang Xiaojie admitted to liking someone, he couldn’t bring himself to meet Mu Sifa’s gaze anymore. His face was as red as a beet, his heart raced, and he felt incredibly nervous.
