Mu Xiaoxiao turned to see a jacket draped over her shoulder.
Her eyes became misty and she couldn’t hold back her tears.
Suddenly, she dropped into a squat as though she had gone weak.
In the middle of the street, she held her knees and cried.
“Uhhuhhuh…”
Her cries sounded just like an abandoned little pet.
“Don’t cry.” Jun Zeye placed a hand on her head to comfort her.
Mu Xiaoxiao raised her tearful eyes and stared at Jun Zeye.
She thought, “Why isn’t it Yin Shaojie…”
Shouldn’t Yin Shaojie be appearing about now?
Why wasn’t it him…
Mu Xiaoxiao felt that her heart was twitching painfully and her breathing became unsteady.
“Ah Ze… Uhhuhuh… I can’t find him… I can’t find him… What should I do… What should I do…”
She was crying more and more as though she had lost the thing that she most treasured.
Jun Zeye said nothing as he crouched down. His dark gaze peered at the little face of hers that was crying pitifully as tears ran down her cheeks.
Mu Xiaoxiao was sobbing and her eyes were already red from crying.
She reached out her hand and grabbed Jun Zeye’s sleeve, sobbing as she said, “Ah Ze… Help me… Help me find him, okay… I want to find him… I must find him… Uhuhuh, help me, alright?
She didn’t know what else to do.
She was like a boat that had lost its direction.
If she couldn’t find Yin Shaojie today, she thought that she would really break down.
She must find him. She must find him.
Jun Zeye sighed. He pulled her towards him and embraced her.
“Okay, I’ll help you find him,” he promised her.
Mu Xiaoxiao cried and buried her face in his shoulder grievously.
However, something was wrong.
This wasn’t how Yin Shaojie smelled like.
This was another man’s scent.
The scent was not right and this made her feel uneasy. It was as if she were getting further and further from Yin Shaojie.
She lifted her head from Jun Zeye’s arms and looked up at him.
“Y-you’ll really help me find him, right?” She seemed to want confirmation.
“Yeah, I will, definitely.” Jun Zeye promised her calmly.
Mu Xiaoxiao finally found consolation from her helplessness. She grabbed his arm and tried to stand.
Jun Zeye helped her up.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him anxiously and said, “Let’s go find him now.”
She had a feeling that with Jun Zeye’s help, she would definitely find Yin Shaojie.
“Wait.” Jun Zeye held onto her worriedly. He looked at her and said, “You’ve been looking for him the whole day. You haven’t eaten anything, right? Let’s go eat something first.”
The person he sent had been following her for a while so he that she hadn’t eaten anything.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. “I’m not hungry.”
“You have to eat even if you’re not hungry,” Jun Zeye said assertively.
Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip. “I don’t have the appetite. I don’t want to eat. I want to quickly find Yin Shaojie. When I find him, I’ll eat with him.”
How could she have an appetite at a time like this?
