Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised by his sudden action. It was not only forceful, but his voice was also sharp. She could only react by staring at him, dazed, innocence seeming to radiate from her dark eyes.
Her gaze then turned misty as though she had been wronged by his shouting.
Yin Shaojie’s face turned severe as he said frustratedly, “You’re doing it again!”
This wretch was really too sly. She always used this trick, knowing that it would unnerve him conveniently!
Mu Xiaoxiao, whose eyes were only misty from earlier, was actually tearing up now. The tears wobbled in her eyes as though they would fall any moment, which made Yin Shaojie even more frustrated.
Bang! He slammed a fist into the door of the fridge. “I said, no crying!”

Mu Xiaoxiao puffed out her cheeks, stared at him stubbornly through glistening teardrops, and accused him, saying, “I’m not crying! Why did you yell at me!”
Yin Shaojie didn’t know how to continue the conversation and simply turned around to leave.
Seeing that he was leaving, Mu Xiaoxiao pounced on him anxiously and hugged his waist.
This time, she bawled, her tears wetting the back of his shirt.
“You — ” Yin Shaojie took a deep breath, his heart softening instantly at her tears. He was going to abandon all his principles and turn back to coax her to stop crying.
Unexpectedly, he didn’t get the chance to turn his head before he heard her choke out, “… I’m sorry…”
He was stunned.
Mu Xiaoxiao sniffed. In an aggrieved voice brimming with atonement, she said, “I-It was my fault first… I haven’t apologized for lying to you… A-And the thing about Lu Yichen… He’s really just a friend… You’re obviously the most important person in my heart! No one can ever compete with you… Jie, please you stop being angry… Can we stop fighting…”
She didn’t like to fight, and she didn’t like the cold war they were waging right now. She felt really exhausted and pained.
She wanted to return to the earlier times when she was happy with him, being spoilt and loved by him, with him yielding to her no matter what she did.
Actually, she couldn’t understand why everything blew up to these proportions this time.
Did he hate Lu Yichen that much, even to the point of restricting her from making friends with him?
She really couldn’t understand what he was thinking.
However, she was really tired and didn’t want to fight with him like this any longer. Anyway, the person who had been at fault was her, so it should be fine if she apologized first, right?
Moreover, it was stupid for them to fight over a stranger!
Yin Shaojie sighed deeply. His heart had already been softened, but upon hearing her say that “No one can ever compete with you,” his heart melted even more.

He pulled her hand away and turned around, taking her petite figure into his embrace, his warm hand stroking her hair.
“You idiot…” He was a little embarrassed and didn’t know how to respond, so the first words out of his mouth scolded her, but his tone was much, much more gentle.
Actually, he felt that he had acted stupidly since the beginning of things.
His anger had already dissipated from her lying to him and meeting up with Lu Yichen.
What had made him angry later on was her refusal of his kiss.
However, how could he reveal such a thing?
Hearing his tone turn gentle, Mu Xiaoxiao knew that he wasn’t angry anymore. She cried out and sobbed louder this time as though she was trying to make up for the grievance she had felt for the past few days.
She was wiping her tears and snot all over him.
Yin Shaojie lowered his head and was stuck between laughing and crying as he studied her childish behavior; yet, no matter how he looked at it, she still looked really cute like that.
