As the lady of the house,
An Nuannuan knew that she would soon have to welco her rival in love.
Yet she still needed to exhibit her status within the family!
After resting for a day, she was able to walk, and during Xu Musen's absence, she had even tried her hand at cleaning.
Especially considering the sheets from last night with their lingering traces, Nuannuan's face reddened at the sight.
She didn't choose to wash them but folded them up and put them aside separately.
But she did put the small blanket and pillowcases into the washing machine for a wash.
Sohow, when she was alone at ho, spending ti in her own room, she always found it hard to take an interest in anything.
Yet here, she never felt bored or lonely, as if there were countless things to do.
Perhaps this was the feeling of truly belonging to a ho.
An Nuannuan observed the ti—he should be back soon.
She finished tidying up and began steeping tea for him so he could drink it as soon as he returned.
"Mmm-hmm-hmm~"
Nuannuan humd an unnad tune; the environnt was foreign, yet she found it exceptionally warm and looked forward with anticipation.
She bobbed her head as her clothes were also washed; she hadn't had a chance to prepare other clothes and wore one of Xu Musen's oversized tees and shorts instead.
She had the vibe of a laid-back Japanese girl; Nuannuan's legs were not as evenly long and shapely as Yao Mingyue's, but they had gradually plumped up through recent exercise and care.
Particularly, Nuannuan's skin was truly nice, flawlessly fair, and as she sat on the sofa swaying her little feet, the carpeted floor made it seem like she brought the most delicate snow to a Huhai that hadn't seen snow in many years.
The room's automatic vacuum cleaner started up, but Nuannuan always thought there was sothing sneaky about it...
It would sotis start a patrol without cause, and often when she turned around, it followed right at her feet.
Now, the cleaner again stopped by Nuannuan's feet.
"Musen will be back soon, don't be lazy now~"
An Nuannuan lightly tapped the "head" of the vacuum cleaner.
Two seconds later, it beeped and then turned to continue cleaning another area.
Nuannuan held her chin, watching the tea bubbles gurgle.
She rembered the vacuum cleaner seed to be a gift from Yao Mingyue.
Actually, Nuannuan didn't insist on a pristine separation between ho and Ming Yue.
She didn't have any hard feelings towards Yao Mingyue; she was just a little frustrated on behalf of Xu Musen for his wasted sincerity.
Or perhaps, she was a bit envious of her.
Because they were childhood sweethearts, they got to be together from birth, and as friends from youth, they shared feelings. Had she not bravely stepped forward this ti... maybe they would still be together.
Whether it was Xu Musen or Yao Mingyue, during the lows of their lives, they had each other's special company.
Sotis Nuannuan imagined herself in Ming Yue's place, wishing that, during her own sorrows, she had a Xu Musen to stay by her side, to accept her completely.
Perhaps, her personality would be similar to Yao Mingyue's—after all, it's easy to be fearless when you feel secure.
Nuannuan also understood that Yao Mingyue wouldn't give up on Xu Musen, and Musen... it was difficult for him to let go of her, not in a romantic sense.
After all, they were childhood sweethearts for twenty years; on that night at the hospital, she could not forget him after a single encounter.
And all the more so because he was with her during her darkest tis.
But that did not an she was willing to give up on Xu Musen.
She had been waiting for a very long ti too.
An Nuannuan had already let Ming Yue have her way once; this ti, she would not let go, no matter what...
Nuannuan, sowhat lost in thought, stared at the bubbling glass teapot on the table, where the tea leaves undulated up and down like falling leaves.
Her thoughts seed to drift far back to a long-gone ti, to an autumn of scattered leaves, to a silent figure standing on a beautiful mountaintop, gazing at two graves close together...
"The tea's about to boil over and you're daydreaming?"
A familiar voice sounded as Xu Musen ca over and turned off the water heater, playfully tapping her head in passing.
Nuannuan turned around and saw that Xu Musen had already co in; she hadn't heard him at all.
"You... how co I didn't hear you co in?"
An Nuannuan snapped back to reality, her thoughts quickly retracting, feeling a little startled.
"You, staring at the kettle and drifting off, wouldn't notice if a thief broke in, let alone ."
Xu Musen said with a smile, pinching her cheek.
"How could that be... I'm pretty good at watching the house too."
An Nuannuan protested with a huff, still sowhat unconvinced.
"How are you feeling, does it still hurt?"
Xu Musen also sat down on the sofa, extending his hand to gently touch her little belly.
"I'm fine now... but right now, we still can't..."
An Nuannuan's cheeks flushed red, as if rembering sothing, and she caught Xu Musen's hand and shook it, pleading with pitiful eyes.
Girls are still sensitive to pain.
Xu Musen couldn't help but chuckle, "What do you think I am?"
Nuannuan said nothing, just looked up at him with her big eyes.
