"Okay, I got it," Mu Xiaoxiao replied obediently.
Yin Shaojie could see how distracted she looked.
But he didn't make any comments. He started the engine and the sports car drove out of Shangde High.
Back at the Yin residence.
"Young Master, Miss, you're back," the helper greeted them with a smile.
Usually, Mu Xiaoxiao smile at them, but today she only had a blank expression as she walked over.
Yin Shaojie followed behind her and watched her slowly walk to the door to the backyard.
"What's the matter?" He noticed that her eyes were misty as though there were tears in them.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked back at him and she suddenly rushed up to hug him.
"What's the matter?" he asked again.
In his arms, Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head, tears tumbled from her eyes.
"I just… remembered some things…"
Her voice was uneven as she spoke.
On the way back, she kept thinking about how Jun Zeye was silently protecting her. It felt like dejà vu, as if someone had protected her like this before.
It was a distant memory.
It was from so long ago that she thought she had forgotten it because if she remembered it, it would be too painful.
Mu Xiaoxiao held Yin Shaojie tightly and buried her head in his shoulder.
She wanted to say, 'Yin Shaojie, I miss Ah Ze…'
But she didn't speak out because she didn't want Yin Shaojie to revisit the painful memory with her.
After she calmed herself down, she looked up and smiled, looking apologetic. "I'm okay."
Yin Shaojie didn't probe further into the matter. With his long fingers, he brushed her hair away. His finger curled as he stroked her soft cheek.
"Are you hungry?" he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded. "Yeah! I'm so hungry. Go and see if the kitchen is done with dinner. Oh yeah, Mama Yin is not back yet, is she?"
"She should be back soon. We can eat first," Yin Shaojie said.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. "We should wait for Mama Yin to have dinner together."
Just then, Yin Shaojie's cell phone rang, interrupting their conversation.
Mu Xiaoxiao said considerately, "Go answer the phone. I'll go for a walk."
Yin Shaojie took a quick glance at the caller ID. It was something important so he pressed the answer button.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips as she looked at the backyard. As though something were pulling her, she pushed open the door and went out.
She walked for some time.
Under the tree at the furthest corner of the backyard.
The sun was slowly setting and the sky was dyed orange. The sun's rays fell upon the small tomb beneath the tree.
Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with tears again.
She went up to the small tomb, knelt down, her hand brushing the words on the tomb.
A tear fell on a blade of grass and she whimpered, "Ah Ze…"
She wiped away her tears with her finger and sat down beside the tomb.
The grass swayed and the ends of her hair were lifted as the evening wind blew past.
Mu Xiaoxiao said in a very light voice, "Ah Ze, I recently met a boy named Jun Zeye. His name shares the same characters as yours. He… saved me many times. Today, he protected me again. He remindeds me of you…"
