But she was also afraid of losing the competition.
If she lost, she wanted to give him everything she could in this lifeti, so there would be fewer regrets.
She held onto Xu Musen's arm, gently grasped his fingers, and pressed her hand against his.
"Xu Musen, are you really no longer interested in ..."
"Silly talk, I said I would take responsibility for you. So things can't just be done on a whim."
"Taking responsibility doesn't necessarily an letting the whole world know about it, as long as you take responsibility for . You aren't going to get and then abandon , are you?"
"Of course not."
"Then that settles it, as long as you don't leave , whether it's sooner or later, it's all the sa, isn't it? Sister Mingyue at eighteen, miss this chance and it will be gone..."
Yao Mingyue humphed, her heart no longer that of a coy little girl. Being able to sleep in the arms of the one she liked every day was already the happiest thing.
What good was being coy? It would only lead to more missed opportunities.
Xu Musen listened to this very tempting proposition, turned his head, and looked at Yao Mingyue's blushing and stunningly beautiful face.
Yes, Yao Mingyue at eighteen.
Innocent yet bold, youthful and vivacious, perhaps not the most perfect mont in a girl's life.
But definitely the year with the deepest youthful imprint.
Xu Musen really didn't need to be so coy; after all, they weren't inexperienced and had long been like an old married couple.
But now, Xu Musen gently stroked her cheek, looked at her seriously for a while, as her cheeks flushed even redder. Then he finally spoke, "What about you, will you leave after you 've gotten ? If not, why the rush?"
"I, of course, wouldn't..."
Yao Mingyue blurted out but her voice faded towards the end.
Her heart was conflicted, but looking at Xu Musen, she eventually swallowed her words and pouted her lips.
"That's not for sure, maybe I'll get so sick of playing with you in this lifeti that I won't want you anymore!"
Xu Musen laughed heartily, knowing that Yao Mingyue wouldn't let him go even if she couldn't sleep.
That was the self-awareness of a man reliant on his partner.
"Seriously, Xu Musen, if one day... I really don't want you anymore, would you be very sad?"
Yao Mingyue asked again in a soft voice, pretending to be casual.
Xu Musen looked at her, then glanced at the distant ocean and laughed, shaking his head.
"What do you an..." Yao Mingyue clenched her little fists, about to punch him.
This infuriating guy, how dare he not miss her?
"It's not that I won't miss you; I just can't imagine life without you."
Xu Musen shook his head with a smile, his gaze sweeping over the ocean, the won playing volleyball on the beach and then returning to Yao Mingyue, "A lot of things in life are beyond my expectations, but the only thing I can't imagine is what my days would be like without that pesky little tag-along... We've already beco part of each other's lives."
Xu Musen's words softened Yao Mingyue's heart.
She felt like she'd been emotionally manipulated again, but the feeling was really warm.
Yet her thoughts were always in conflict with her reason.
"Xu Musen, in our past life we didn't have a child, didn't grow old together, would you regret that?"
"Of course. Who doesn't want to grow old with the person they love when they are together."
Xu Musen looked at the complex expression on Yao Mingyue's face, emotions fleeting through his eyes, "But being together is enough, children or growing old together, that's all in the future. It's nice to treasure the present, and all that is predicated on having you."
Yao Mingyue and he looked at each other for a mont; they were so familiar with each other that many things didn't need to be said, and in their hearts, they both had so guesses.
Yao Mingyue gently covered her heart, no longer pursuing the questions.
She leaned gently on Xu Musen's shoulder.
Together, they watched the distant sea and the people playing volleyball on the beach.
"Xu Musen, I really like you..."
"Is this a confession?"
"Are you accepting it?"
"Have I ever refused?"
"You're really terrible..."
"Haha..."
...
The beach vacation had to end after all.
On the day they left the beach, the hotel manager personally ca to send them off, handing Xu Musen a black card that could be used to spend five hundred thousand on the island.
There was also a heap of various compensation gifts.
The hotel was indeed generous.
Xu Musen didn't refuse; the island mishap was an act of nature, but the overall experience had been very good.
They could co again in the future.
On the journey ho.
After nearly a month of sunbathing, the girls' complexions had all turned slightly tan.
Of course, with their exceptional beauty, the tan skin only added to their natural, healthy allure.
And Zhao Lianmai went straight ho from the Coastal city by high-speed train.
Xu Musen and Liu Rushuang drove back to Coastal in separate cars.
They stopped by the school first.
Xu Musen had An Nuannuan and Yao Mingyue rest at the store for now.
Bai Xin, who had hurried over initially, still had so work to do; she imdiately switched into work mode as soon as the seaside vacation ended.
Liu Rushuang took her to the office.
"Xiao Bai, if you work like this every day, be careful you really won't find a boyfriend."
Liu Rushuang teased her best friend.
Bai Xin rolled her eyes at her: "If I really can't find a boyfriend, I'll just co and join you. We can be old maids together."
"Ha-ha, I have my daughter and son, Ming Yue and I will just live with Xiao Sen. You can be the old maid by yourself... but you have a good figure. Maybe when Xiao Sen has kids, you could consider being a wet nurse or sothing."
Liu Rushuang laughed aloud, even reaching out to pat her best friend's prized asset.
"Hey… you really are too much."
Bai Xin blushed, rolling her eyes at her again without amusent.
Seriously, now she's bringing up Xiao Sen all the ti; knowing her, it's like she wants to marry off her daughter, not knowing it, people might think she wants to go into battle herself.
And she's not even pregnant, what wet nurse.
Pfft... How co she's started having these crazy thoughts as well.
...
anwhile, Xu Musen took Zhu Yulan to the downtown high-rise buildings.
"Are you not going to rest a bit more after coming back?"
Xu Musen saw that she was also ready to launch straight into work mode.
"I dare not rest. I still owe money to soone. If so heartless boss cuts my salary again, I'll never be able to pay it off."
Zhu Yulan looked at Xu Musen, blinking her almond-shaped eyes slightly.
"Your attacks certainly aren't as fierce as Lianmai's."
"That's because you're the boss who's too much of a masochist!"
"I'm cutting your salary?"
Xu Musen and she locked eyes and both burst into laughter.
Zhu Yulan also gazed at him carefully, and at last, she stood on tiptoe, leaning forward in front of the car window: "But I really did have a good ti these days, thank you for taking care of ."
The young girl's cheeks were lightly flushed as she recalled the ti she snuggled into Xu Musen for warmth.
"It's what friends do."
Xu Musen responded with a smile.
"Friends…"
Zhu Yulan softly repeated the word, as if thinking of sothing, she then laughed suddenly: "The forever kind?"
"Of course," Xu Musen nodded, "as long as you don't cheat ."
Zhu Yulan didn't reply but stared at him with her sparkling almond-shaped eyes for a while before snorting.
"You're the real trickster king!"
Xu Musen left with a laugh, driving away.
Zhu Yulan stood there for a long ti, watching the direction he left in before letting out a small sigh.
Well, so words are just like "the night is wonderfully deep," perhaps the mont to understand them hasn't yet co…
n who play gas… so annoying!
Zhu Yulan huffed, then laughed at herself and turned around to return to the high-rise.
Xu Musen arrived back at the school, only to see Liu Rushuang bringing Yao Mingyue to her car.
"Okay, okay, Ming Yue and I haven't had a good chat in a while. Let take her ho and dote on her for a couple of days; you and Nuannuan go ho first to report back safely."
Liu Rushuang waved at Xu Musen with a smile and made a point of saying goodbye to An Nuannuan: "Nuannuan, see you next ti."
"Mmm, goodbye Auntie."
An Nuannuan nodded her head, also very fond of this cheerful aunt.
Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue exchanged glances.
They didn't speak, nor did they say farewell.
In the end, Yao Mingyue mouthed sothing at him.
Unreliable man…
Xu Musen smiled knowingly.
Turning back to look at An Nuannuan and his younger aunt, he walked over and gently took An Nuannuan's small hand: "Then let's go ho."
" too, too!"
An Nannan bounced up and down, stretching her hand toward Xu Musen with a demanding look, also wanting to be held.
Xu Musen laughingly took her little hand as well.
This must be the feeling of a complete family.
Ho!
