She walked to her seat and sat down, smiling and waving to Yu Zhe. "Morning! It's been a while. Did you miss me?" she said casually.

Yu Zhe turned around, his gaze seemingly locked on her face.

Hearing her bright and energetic voice made his lips curl into a smile. "Yeah," he replied.

He missed her a lot.

He really, really missed her.

Mu Xiaoxiao, of course, was joking with him. She nodded satisfactorily at his playing along.

Yu Zhe placed his arms on her desk and asked curiously, "I heard you came to school in a car? You don't have a license, do you?"

Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she said, "Can gossip travel slower?"

It had only been a few minutes since she parked the car and entered the classroom, hadn't it?

She had to admit that the speed of gossip in Shangde was even faster than the speed of light!

Yu Zhe smiled. Taking out his phone, he went to WeChat's "Moments" page and showed it to her.

"See it for yourself. This was sent out a few minutes ago, and it's already spread around the entire school.

His Moments were filled with many similar posts from different people.

Looking at the phone, Mu Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say.

There were indeed videos of her parking and getting off the car earlier!

Yu Zhe saw that she was in a daze, and he reminded goodheartedly, "You don't have a driver's license, right? It isn't a good thing to be videoed like that then."

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly. "I only drove for a little bit…"

What happened was: She had been bickering with Yin Shaojie as they were reaching the school gates, and wanting to prove that she could drive, she swapped places with Yin Shaojie.

She really only drove for a little bit, and the distance was only from the school's entrance to the carpark.

She only dared to attempt it as there were only about ten minutes left to class then, and there weren't many people around.

She stuck her tongue out at Yu Zhe's reminder and realized that her behavior wasn't good.

She frowned, worried. "Will the police arrest me?"

Actually, she could drive.

When she was in America, she would sometimes drive her friends' cars.

Just like other people who were learning to drive, she would take a car from home or borrow her friends' cars to practice in an empty area, so it wasn't considered as breaking any laws.

It was only when one was on the road without a license that it would violate traffic rules.

Upon hearing Yu Zhe's explanation, Mu Xiaoxiao patted her chest in relief. "That was lucky."

Yu Zhe replied, "However, you should still be careful next time."

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded hastily. "I get it now. I won't be fooling around next time!"

The atmosphere calmed down once they finished the topic.

Mu Xiaoxiao took out her textbook from her drawer and looked at the time. Class was about to start.

She thought that Yu Zhe was going to turn back to his seat once they finished talking.

However, she heard his voice ring out. "Xiaoxiao, where… have you been recently?" he asked hesitantly.

Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head and looked at him. "That… I had some family issues… so I returned to America for a while."

Yu Zhe was shocked. "Eh? Your home's in America? Didn't you live here but go to America to study?"

"Nope." Mu Xiaoxiao didn't think that this was something that she shouldn't talk about.

However, she didn't want to elaborate on her family matters.

Just then, the bell rang for the start of class.

Mu Xiaoxiao said to him hurriedly, "It's time for class; you should turn back."

Yu Zhe still wanted to question her further, but he turned around reluctantly.
