Chapter 20: The Long-Sealed Secret

  "Don't chase anymore." Xie Yiyang grabbed Xiaoxue's hand, and Xiaoxue turned around to look at Xie Yiyang. The usually arrogant and eccentric Xie Yiyang was now crying with her head hung low. This scene reminded Xiaoxue of a wounded kitten she had seen outside the orphanage when she was young. Xiaoxue made the same movement as she did back then, squatting down to open her arms wide and embracing Xie Yiyang's trembling shoulders. It seemed like a soothing balm, and Xie Yiyang's trembling gradually subsided. The air was filled with a warm atmosphere.

  "Thank you, Lin Xue." Xie Yiyang lifted her head and looked into Xiao Xue's pure eyes.

  "It's okay, we're friends!" Xiaoxue stood up and rubbed her slightly numb shoulders.

  "Hehe, right, we are friends!" Xie Yiyang said with a smile, wiping away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes.

  "Look, her makeup is all messed up! Wow, here comes Jingzi!" Xiaoxue exclaimed while dramatically taking several steps back.

  "Really?!" Xie Yiyang intentionally lowered her voice and said in a hushed tone.

  "Oh no! Don't scare me! I'll have nightmares and come to class with panda eyes tomorrow!"

  "Great! Then our class is the national treasure class, so cool!" Xie Yiyang also joked and said with a smile. As they chatted and laughed, Xie Yiyang's mood slowly calmed down. A few minutes later, the two walked out of the classroom hand in hand, smiling.

  "Ah! Your brother!" Xie Yiyang's face turned towards Lin Zixuan's position and took a look.

  "Oh? Sorry!" Xiaoxue saw Lin Zixuan's figure and apologized without lifting her head. This Lin guy won't get angry, will he? Every time she makes him wait so long, let him be angry if he wants to! Hmph, what is the great Xiaoxue afraid of?! Xiaoxue took a deep breath and faced Lin Zixuan directly.

  "Who?" Xiaoxue thought she was seeing things, but Lin Zixuan was actually smiling.

  "Xiao Xue, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Is this all the reaction I get?" Lin Zixuan took a few steps towards Xiao Xue.

  "I've already apologized to you." Xiaoxue muttered under her breath, but Lin Zixuan still heard it loud and clear.

  "Your apology is accepted, I forgive you, but there will still be punishment." Lin Zixuan's smile grew thicker.

  "If I've already forgiven you, how can you still punish me?" Little Snow frowned and whispered in protest.

  "Punish you to accompany me to a dinner party, let's go, now help you choose an evening dress." Lin Zixuan's tone was very gentle, but every sentence made Xiaoxue have no room for negotiation.

  "Thanks, Yiyuan. Let's go ahead and take a step forward." Lin Zixuan smiled as he finished speaking to Xie Yiyuan, took Xiaoxue's hand, and walked towards the school gate. As they walked, Xiaoxue didn't forget to wave goodbye to Xie Yiyuan. Before long, the two of them arrived at the school gate, where a car was parked - Lin Zixuan's private ride, a Maybach. Its extended body, handmade interior, and luxurious colors all showcased the owner's identity and temperament. As soon as the driver from the Lin family stopped the car at the entrance, it attracted wave after wave of onlookers, but also blocked the two people from getting in.

  Lin Zixuan smiled and apologized to each person, saying "Excuse me, may I pass?" But this was taking too long, one by one, the sun would set before they finished. Xiaoxue furrowed her brow,

  "Oh no! There's a bomb under the car! Everyone run!" In an instant, the people standing next to Xiaoxue quickly ran away. "Be careful of the bomb, it's dangerous! Everyone run! Run!" Xiaoxue shouted again with all her might. Sure enough, this move made the crowded circle that was still bustling with people just a minute ago disappear in an instant, leaving only Lin Zixuan and Xiaoxue behind.

  "How's that?" Xiaoxue asked with a triumphant smile, looking up at Lin Zixuan who was slightly stunned.

  "Haha, my little Xue is really clever! Let's go!" Lin Zixuan opened the car door and made a welcoming gesture.

  "Let's go." Xiaoxue happily nodded her little head and got on the car.

  Maibachyan left, and Xie Yiyang just walked out of the school gate. Looking at Maibachyan's car driving away in the distance, Xie Yiyang was a bit dazed. Lin Xue, thank you, you were right, we are friends, thank you for making me feel I'm not alone anymore. At this moment, a black sedan suddenly stopped in front of Xie Yiyang. Xie Yiyang took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, it's time to go home.
