She slowly lifted her head, her phoenix eyes gradually closing; the young girl's pure white neck arched, her soft, pink lips under the candlelight were especially enticing.
The distance between them only required Xu Musen to lower his head to taste, that long-missed familiar sweetness.
Yao Mingyue kept her eyes closed; she didn't dare to open them, for she feared his rejection.
But the next mont, she felt a soft and delicate touch on her lips, and sothing a bit hard... that must be teeth, she thought.
Hmm… why is it so sweet?
She was about to go further; after all, she was quite familiar with Xu Musen's body, too.
However, just as she opened her mouth, it beca even sweeter—this feeling wasn't right...
When she opened her eyes, the corners of her mouth were sticky and white.
Xu Musen looked at her with a smile.
His finger scooped up so cream and dotted it on the edge of her lips.
"Oh, you like cream so much, to be this greedy for it," Xu Musen couldn't help laughing.
"You…"
Yao Mingyue felt like she'd been played; her cheeks flushed hotly, recalling her actions just now, which resembled those of a person lusting after a birthday cake!
She felt a mix of sha and a hint of grievance, having thrown herself at him like that, not even asking him to take responsibility at the mont, yet he still acted this way!
"Xu Musen! You jerk..."
The words in Yao Mingyue's mouth ca to an abrupt halt, eventually turning into soft swallowing noises.
Xu Musen pinched her chin and leaned over, lowering his head...
But he only kissed her forehead.
Just as when they were children, Xu Musen would comfort her during thunderstorms in this sa manner.
Yao Mingyue felt she shouldn't be content with such a gesture; surｅly, after all they had done together in a previous life, a simple kiss—
And rely on the forehead, at that. How could it possibly satisfy her? She should feel nothing!
Yet, the truth was that Yao Mingyue's entire body felt tender and warm, the sensation from her forehead instantly invaded her brain, seemingly taking control of all her actions in a mont.
Ah, how pathetic she was, must be the sensitivity of her eighteen-year-old self, it was just a small kiss on the forehead after all...
One kiss and then he let go.
Xu Musen looked at the girl slumped in his embrace, smiling gently, "But I've never been soone who avoids responsibility, Yao Mingyue. I may not be a good man, but I am serious. If we really have a future together, I'll make sure to take proper advantage of you then."
Yao Mingyue looked at him for a long while before pouting and mumbling, "Lustful, yet cowardly..."
Xu Musen chuckled.
The candle extinguished, dimming the light here, but the river reflected the distant high-rise buildings, giving off a glimring effect.
Xu Musen held the cake, with Yao Mingyue lying in his arms.
"Xu Musen, I have another question to ask you."
"Go ahead."
"You once said you were a 'Returner'. If you were reborn after our marriage in college, would you still leave for your beloved little Nuannuan?"
Yao Mingyue deftly scooped up a bit of cream and delicately tasted it as she asked.
Unexpectedly, she also thought of this question. Xu Musen pondered; if he truly was reborn after they were married...
He couldn't yet abandon her, and as for Nuannuan...
Xu Musen considered for a mont, then t Yao Mingyue's gaze.
"I see a desire to cheat in your eyes!" Yao Mingyue bit her lip.
So you want both of us, don't you?
Xu Musen shook his head and smiled, "What do you think?"
"I... I was always the legitimate one!"
Yao Mingyue clenched her teeth, relying on the cake in her mouth to alleviate her sour mood.
"In any case, I would choose to discover the troubles in your heart earlier, at least, to live a happier life than before."
Xu Musen spoke slowly, reflecting that the first two years of marriage were indeed harmonious, it was later that she grew increasingly extre.
If he could have corrected this 'tsundere' trait earlier, perhaps their past life would have been much happier.
"So, I haven't lost to anyone; it's just that during the crucial monts of your life... the order of appearance was at a disadvantage,"
Yao Mingyue spoke and slightly raised the corners of her mouth, scooped up a piece of cake, and held it to Xu Musen's lips.
Xu Musen bowed his head and took a bite.
"Why are you suddenly asking these questions?"
Xu Musen felt Yao Mingyue often brought up topics about his being a 'Returner'.
And so questions... Xu Musen didn't recall having discussed them with her, like their marriage date, for instance.
How did she know it was after graduation?
Suddenly, Xu Musen was a bit puzzled, but it also seed unlikely. If she knew about these things, or say, if she was also a Returner, with her personality, how could she have allowed An Nuannuan to get close to him so easily at the beginning?
But Yao Mingyue only looked at him, then just smiled radiantly, "Kiss , and I'll tell you."
She pointed to her lips, where traces of cream lingered, looking all the more tempting.
"Then I'd rather not be curious."
"Xu Musen, is that all you've got!"
The two gazed at each other for a mont and both smiled.
Their voices traveled far across the riverbank, as if bridging the distance of two lifetis to find an answer.
And tonight, the wind was especially gentle~
