Chapter 1397: He Was the One Who Coddled Me (4)

Because Shangde High was a really large campus, it would be not only unethical, but inefficient if they only allowed the security guards to patrol the area by walking around.

Mu Xiaoxiao sat up and opened the bag to check out the snacks.

“Qiqing, I love you so much! You bought all my favorite things!”

She reached out and hugged Han Qiqing’s waist, touched.

She felt blessed that she had a friend who remembered what she liked to eat.

Yin Shaojie glanced into the bag of snacks and saw that there were even instant noodles inside. He looked at them.

Did they think the sick bay was a hotel?

Han Qiqing took out the instant noodles and went to find hot water.

Mu Xiaoxiao rummaged through the bag for a while. She ignored all the potato chips and chocolate, picking out a single lollipop instead.

She unwrapped it and placed it in her mouth.

A sweet taste overcame her tongue.

She smiled happily, her dark eyes like crescents. However, her smiled faded gradually as she thought of something.

“What’s the matter?” Yin Shaojie noticed something wrong with her.

Mu Xiaoxiao spread her lips in a smile, but that smile was tinged with sadness.

“I just remembered something from my childhood… That time when you made me cry…”

She paused, not continuing her sentence.

Yin Shaojie’s eyes turned serious. “Finish your sentence. Why aren’t you continuing?”

He had been quite good to her when he was young. Even though he liked to tease her and see her exaggerated reactions, he was still very accommodating of her and pampered her a lot.

However, there was a period when he argued with her a lot more often, which meant that he made her cry more often too.

That was the year when Ah Ze appeared.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and said, “I’ll say this first: You’re not allowed to be angry.”

Yin Shaojie pursed his lips into a line. Even though he could already guess what she was trying to say and knew that whatever it was, it wasn’t something that he would like to hear, he still suppressed his feelings and said, “Tell me. I won’t be angry.”

Mu Xiaoxiao turned the lollipop around in her mouth before saying, “Every time you made me cry… Ah Ze used a lollipop to coddle me…”

Her eyes shone with nostalgia as she reminisced about the past.

“So, after that, Ah Ze would always bring candy around so that he could coddle me.”

Talking about it made her remember that he had also given her candy on their first meeting.

Mu Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but smile.

She was really gullible as a kid, so much so that a single sweet could win her over.

It was because of that one sweet that she and Ah Ze became good friends.

After realizing that both of them shared the same birthday, the subtle feeling which materialized drew them even closer.

She didn’t know if it was because they were born on the same day, in the same month and in the same year, but she shared some kind of understanding with him. They thought on the same lines, liked the same things, and when she wanted to look for him, he would coincidentally be at her house looking for her.

If he hadn’t met with the accident that year…

Mu Xiaoxiao’s nose twinged and her eyes watered.

She thought that if Ah Ze hadn’t died, they would have been best friends.

“Why is Heaven so cruel…”

Her voice was choked as tears swirled in her eyes, finally sliding down her cheeks.

Ah Ze was a good person. He was handsome, smart, mature and considerate. Why was Heaven so unfair to him, to take him away at such a young age?

It was just too cruel!
