Chapter 234: Past Regrets, Unfulfilled Romance. _2
Yao Mingyue's voice was not loud, but everyone in the shop could still hear her.
When they saw Yao Ming Yue's looks, they were amazed, and then they turned to Xu Musen. This little guy... what was there to hesitate about with such a beauty?
If it were up to them, they definitely would've had the car break down halfway, and just so happened to have a hotel nearby to rest in...
"...Never mind, I'll peel it myself."
Xu Musen tried to take the garlic in her hand back, but Yao Mingyue held onto it.
She actually began to peel the garlic.
Her slender, jade-like fingers clumsily peeled the garlic.
Once it was done, Yao Mingyue placed the somewhat unevenly peeled garlic in front of Xu Musen.
"Please enjoy."
Xu Musen hadn't expected her to actually volunteer to peel garlic for him, especially since these strong-smelling things were usually something Yao Mingyue wouldn't even spare a second glance.
Especially raw garlic, the smell was indeed unpleasant.
"Don't you dislike others eating garlic in front of you?"
Xu Musen examined the garlic he received.
With a wet wipe, Yao Mingyue cleaned her hands and looked at Xu Musen with a slight smile, "Go ahead, eat it. If the smell drives everyone else away, then you'll only have me to be with."
Speaking, she slowly leaned a bit closer to Xu Musen, "Besides, the books say, human saliva contains enzymes that break it down. After eating something with a strong flavor, it might take half an hour to suppress with chewing gum, but with a kiss, it only takes ten minutes..."
Yao Mingyue's words seemed to carry a bewitching feel, her rosy, slightly parted lips were particularly enticing.
"Eat your meal."
Xu Musen did not continue the conversation and started on his fat intestines noodles with the garlic.
Yao Mingyue pursed her lips and watched Xu Musen burying himself in his meal, chuckling quietly.
The store's heating was on, and eating hot noodles in the dead of winter, Xu Musen was already sweating a little on his forehead. He took off his down jacket, and Yao Mingyue considerately took a wet wipe to help him clean up.
Looking up at her, Yao Mingyue felt herself also heating up, her face turning red.

"I'm fine."
But Yao Mingyue touched her own down jacket, instead pulling the zipper all the way up.
Girls are sometimes like that, wrapping themselves up tightly even in summer.
Xu Musen continued to bury himself in his meal.
After wandering around Fantawild for most of the day, they were a bit tired.
These water parks were indeed more fun in the summer.
Ready to head back, they got into the car, and Yao Mingyue looked out at Fantawild Castle in front of her.
"Xu Musen, do you think we'll have the chance to come here again in the summer? Just the two of us."
Yao Mingyue turned to look at Xu Musen, who was chewing gum.
Xu Musen turned to look at her.
In the summer, in Xu Musen's original plans, he might accompany An Nuannuan on a trip, or perhaps he would be busy with work, or busy with other things...
But the time belonging to Yao Mingyue... now, with these words, was also marked in a spot in his heart.
A moment later, Xu Musen stepped on the accelerator.
"Hmm."
...
As the vehicle moved along the road, looking at the familiar city, although not as glamorous as Huhai, it felt especially solid.
It was the place he was most familiar with. Nights come early in winter, and by four or five o'clock, the sun was already setting.
The warm glow of the winter sunset, though not warm, still felt pleasantly cozy.
Yao Mingyue sifted through her phone, having taken many selfies that day, and couldn't stop smiling as she looked at the pictures of them together.
It's like the way a girl looks at warm moments from the date, one after another, on the way back home.
So it turns out... she could also feel so happy from just a shared photo.
Every now and then, Xu Musen also glanced at her. Today, he had seen different sides of Yao Mingyue.
Jealous, afraid, crying, making trouble, and also a bit scheming...
This Yao Mingyue was slowly becoming more like her past self, the version Xu Musen liked the most.
He couldn't help but glance at her hands again. Her fingers were like segments of green onions, long and fair. Yao Mingyue didn't have the habit of getting nail art.
Her pink, tender, natural nails had a rounded luster, the color that suited a young girl best.
Different from An Nuannuan's hands, Nuannuan's were slightly smaller and more plump, softer to the touch, like marshmallows in his hand.
And Yao Mingyue, her hands were naturally as soft as any other young girl's, but they were more elongated, with beautiful bone structure, the kind that felt substantial when held.
A completely different kind of beauty, but the commonality was the same, that once you held them, you didn't want to let go.
Xu Musen silently withdrew his gaze, always feeling that his relationship with the two of them had become increasingly complicated, especially since falling into the ice lake.
An Nuannuan was a bundle of warmth in Xu Musen's life.
But as for Yao Mingyue... he couldn't quite bring himself to say he didn't care at all.
Xu Musen drove, his mind drifting to imagine An Nuannuan with teary eyes looking at him, Yao Mingyue standing aside with grievance.
The old master, holding a Hongying Spear, took a gulp of alcohol and shouted, "Scum, die!"
Able to nearly kill Xu Musen with a single jab, he fled in panic, only to fall into a warm embrace.
Liu Rushuang gently patted his head, her phoenix eyes glistening, lips curling slightly, but with a hint of danger in her eyes.
Liu Rushuang embraced him, but pulled out a knife from behind and circled it around his neck.
"Tell me, why did you make my Xiao Mingyue sad? No worries, be more careful in your next life... whoosh!"
