Mo Xiaomeng nodded and said, “I’m prepared.”
“Aish, what do I do? I haven’t thought of one yet.” Han Qiqing began to worry. She counted the years and realized that she still owed Xiaoxiao four years of birthday presents! Thus, she had to prepare a birthday present that was very awesome and surprising so that Xiaoxiao would be over the moon.”
“It’s okay. There’s still time so you can think about it when we get back.”
“Xiaomeng, you know what Xiaoxiao likes currently, right? You have to help me think.”
“Sure, I’ll help you!”
The two girls walked into the courtyard with their arms around each other. The image of them talking and laughing made Song Shijun look puzzled. “Since when did you bee such good friends?”
Han Qiqing looked at him and pulled Mo Xiaomeng closer. “We’ve always been good friends! Right, Xiaomeng?”
“Right!” Mo Xiaomeng nodded, a sweet smile blooming on her exquisite face.
Song Shijun didn’t understand girl friendships and instead asked, “Didn’t you go and ask Xiaoxiao to have breakfast? Where is she?”
“She’ll be here soon,” Han Qiqing said and lead Xiaomeng to sit down with her.
Song Shijun sat down as well. Just as he was about to touch his chopsticks, Han Qiqing slapped his hand away.
“Wait for Xiaoxiao to eat together!”
Song Shijun was puzzled. “Why? We don’t do this usually either. I’m hungry, so can you let me have something to eat first?”
“No! Xiaoxiao’s about to e out. Will you die if you wait for a while more?” Han Qiqing glared at him.
Song Shijun nodded firmly. “Yes, I will die! I’m about to die from hunger! Let me have one thing. Can’t I just have a single bun?”
“No!” Han Qiqing was as stubborn as before.
Helpless, Song Shijun could only put his chopsticks down.
He cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted into the house, “Xiaoxiao! Hurry up! The whole world is waiting for you!”
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him. “Sijue and Yin Shaojie haven’t arrived yet. What are you shouting that for?”
Song Shijun pointed to the main door with his chin and said, “They’ve already gone out. They’re not eating, so it’s just us four.”
“What did they go out for?”
“Beats me! They didn’t even tell me.” Song Shijun shrugged.
With Han Qiqing’s attention on the main door, he grabbed a steamed dumpling and threw it into his mouth in one swift motion.
Han Qiqing noticed it immediately. “You’re too much! Spit it out!”
Song Shijun chewed as he spoke in a muffled voice, “How can I spit out something I’ve already eaten? Aiyoh, why should we wait when everyone is already so familiar with each other?”
Beside them, Mo Xiaomeng said, “Actually… we don’t have to wait for Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao won’t mind if we start without her.”
Song Shijun looked at her gratefully and agreed, “That’s right, our Great Mistress Mu is a generous and considerate person. Why would she mind such a thing? Xiaomeng, you should just ignore her; she’s just trying to pick a fight with me.”
His gaze paused and landed onto Mo Xiaomeng’s neck. “Xiaomeng, what happened to your neck? Did you get bitten by a mosquito?”
Mo Xiaomeng touched her own neck and asked unprehendingly, “Where?”
Song Shijun smiled suggestively, “I know you were bitten by a giant mosquito. Let me guess, is the surname of the mosquito Ye?”
It was only then that Mo Xiaomeng realized what he was talking about. She blushed, and her gaze became bashful.
She remembered that Ye Sijue had indeed done things to her when she had woken up in the morning…
