It was about a lifeti commitnt, about having a response for everything, about bearing another person's responsibilities, about giving the best of oneself unreservedly to the other.
Before she was fully prepared, she dared not to say anything carelessly.
Because she had co to realize that once you fail to beco lovers, you might not even have the chance to be friends anymore.
She lowered her head to look at her own legs, then raised her head again to look at Yao Mingyue.
"And what about you, do you like... like him?"
The words Yao Mingyue was about to blurt out also paused for a mont.
She had discussed such a topic with Xu Musen several tis as well.
Yao Mingyue knew her own flaws; she indeed hadn't truly realized what it took to like soone.
But there was one thing she was certain of.
"I like him, maybe not enough to marry and be together, but one thing I'm sure of is that he must like too. As long as he's with , I will never leave him in this lifeti."
Yao Mingyue's voice carried a firmness, initially like declaring war.
That was her confidence, after all, twenty years of being childhood friends, the mories and experiences between them could not be replaced by anyone.
Moreover, Xu Musen definitely liked her, just with so reservations, but one day, when all those reservations vanished.
Wouldn't they be the most perfect couple under the sky?
An Nuannuan was silent for a mont, her peach-blossom eyes swirling with emotions, yet showing no signs of urgency or loss.
She took a sip of her milk tea, then looked at the milk tea in her hands and spoke softly, "I like grape flavor, you like black tea flavor, he knows both, but do you know what he likes to drink?"
Yao Mingyue was stunned for a bit. Xu Musen had bought her milk tea before, but it was always whatever she liked to drink, and he would just go along with it.
Xu Musen liked sweet and sour spare ribs; because she liked them too, perhaps because the two had grown up together, it was normal for their tastes to align.
But if asked what Xu Musen liked, she seed to be at a loss, since it appeared that he would make an effort to like whatever she liked.
"Do you know?" Yao Mingyue looked at her.
An Nuannuan shook her head: "Actually, he doesn't really like milk tea, but he always accompanies to drink it. He's always so nice to everyone, adjusting to everyone's tastes, but he seldom ntions what he likes..."
Yao Mingyue looked at the milk tea in her hand.
Suddenly, she rembered that when Xu Musen was alone, he had never ntioned liking milk tea.
But whenever there was a chance, he would always buy it for her.
It wasn't the milk tea he liked, but because with that cup of milk tea, he could spend more ti with Yao Mingyue.
Yao Mingyue's heart trembled.
"That's why, I think it's aningless for either of us to say we like him; what matters is that he likes one of us."
An Nuannuan spoke softly, her eyes downcast at the milk tea in her hand: "He always rembers what I like, and I'm very happy when I drink the flavor I like, so, if he could get what he likes... he would probably be very happy too."
An Nuannuan's words made Yao Mingyue's heart quiver incessantly.
Her analogy was naive, yet... it struck the soul with its purity.
An Nuannuan gently pushed the lunch box towards her.
"So, I also don't know what liking soone ans, but I want to beco... soone he could like."
An Nuannuan's words were soft, with a hint of a young girl's shy coyness and seriousness.
Yao Mingyue found herself surrounded by warmth.
She seed to understand in that mont why Xu Musen liked to spend ti with her.
It was what she was missing...
She looked at the lunch box An Nuannuan had pushed in front of her.
"An Nuannuan, you should understand what I an…"
Yao Mingyue and her were in a sort of "romantic rivalry" relationship.
Others in such a situation would be green-eyed with envy at each other's presence, it would be a miracle if they didn't co to blows.
Yet, she actually offered her a hot al.
"I know." An Nuannuan nodded.
"Then why offer a hot al? Aren't you afraid that we'll beco enemies later?"
Yao Mingyue really couldn't comprehend; in her mind, if another girl ca to snatch him away, she would only try to make the other girl unable to eat.
An Nuannuan looked at her and started speaking softly.
"But we still need to eat first; Xu Musen wouldn't want you to be hungry."
An Nuannuan's tone was serious, without the slightest bit of sarcasm,
Yao Mingyue stared at the steamy and fragrant al, then at An Nuannuan.
This was the first ti she felt soone's naivety and purity so keenly.
Could this be the reason?
Yao Mingyue thought silently, then looked up again at An Nuannuan.
"Thank you."
Yao Mingyue's thanks were not for the hot al, but because she seed to have grasped a reason to be better together with him.
So, I still won't yield him to you…
