There was curiosity, and also admiration.
Mu Jin Huan’s voice was flat, "mories of youth?"
Nan Wan nodded, smiling as she replied, "Sort of."
Back in university, because it was nearby and tasted good, Nan Wan always ate there, almost going every week.
Later, after entering society and starting work, it seed she never went again.
The taste that had been forgotten suddenly ca to mind again.
Thinking carefully, those tis don’t seem to have gone far away.

In the car, after Nan Wan ntioned the address, Mu Jin Huan set the location on the GPS.
The route showed a travel ti of forty-seven minutes.
It was eight-thirty now, even with good luck and no traffic, they would arrive at the restaurant by nine, and with waiting and eating, they could only head back after ten.
Both had work tomorrow, and they slept very late last night...
"How about we change to another place? I was just speaking casually."
Mu Jin Huan started the car, rged into the traffic, and spoke calmly, "I wasn’t just casually listening."
Since he put it that way, Nan Wan didn’t think much further and quietly leaned back against the seat.
There was no music and no talk.
It was a comfortable silence.
After the car had been driving for twenty minutes, Nan Wan turned her head slightly, looking at the man’s determined profile, and softly said, "Let’s exchange a question."
Mu Jin Huan, driving, had a voice without much fluctuation, "Ladies first."
With that, Nan Wan knew he agreed.
She turned her head, looking at the brilliant night view outside the window, "You know my brother, have we t before?"
The first half of the sentence was a statent, the second half a sowhat uncertain question.
Mu Jin Huan didn’t respond for a long ti, seemingly lost in mory, or perhaps searching for an appropriate answer.
He didn’t speak, and Nan Wan was in no hurry.
After about two minutes, Mu Jin Huan spoke, "On your one-month-old celebration, I held you."
This was an answer Nan Wan hadn’t expected at all, her brain briefly stalled.
Her one-month-old celebration would have been 26 years ago, and at that ti, he was the graceful young master of the Qingcheng Mu Family.
At that ti, her family was still intact.
Even though she was just a crying infant.
"Afterwards, never again?"
"There were."
Nan Wan beca interested, "When?"
This ti, she didn’t have to wait long.
"When you dislocated your wrist, on the way to the hospital with Nan Ze carrying you, we t by chance, don’t quite rember the exact day."
He used the word ’carrying,’ which was extrely accurate.
At that ti, Nan Wan was probably only three, about the sa age as Jiashu and Qingqing now, and whether it was due to milk powder or because she often stayed still, she had a very round figure.
The one-month-old incident, unquestionably, Nan Wan had no mory of, and with the dislocation incident, she equally had no impression.
"More?"
Mu Jin Huan showed no impatience, very patiently, "On Nan Ze’s wedding day, I saw you from afar."
That day, she was a bridesmaid, dressed simply yet not losing identity, an impression of the girl next door.
With a delicate appearance, she was very eye-catching in the crowd.
Nan Wan lowered her eyes, a faint smile on her lips, "Your turn."
Mu Jin Huan thought for a mont and asked a question on the sa level, "What do you like to do when in love?"
Twenty-six-year-old Nan Wan had an age difference of eight years with him at thirty-four.
Eight years, not much, but definitely not the ideal marital age gap.
Similarly, after a long while, Nan Wan spoke, "I’ve never been in love, so I can’t answer that."
After speaking, she inexplicably felt a bit embarrassed.
Although there was no substantive content, Mu Jin Huan felt there couldn’t be a more pleasing answer.
As he turned the steering wheel, his thin lips curved into a barely noticeable smile.

The restaurant was still there, the na hadn’t changed, and the owner hadn’t changed.
It was already past dinner ti, so there weren’t many custors, sitting scattered around.
The owner saw the person beside Nan Wan wasn’t Lu Li, but his expression didn’t change much as he smiled and greeted, "Long ti no see."
Since ’pregnancy,’ Nan Wan hadn’t worn high heels, and standing next to Mu Jin Huan, she had a kind of delicate and dependent beauty.
After applying dication to the wound on her cheek, it had significantly faded, and with her hair covering it, it wasn’t easy for others to notice unless they were close.
Nan Wan also smiled, "Yes, long ti no see."
"The usual, as always?"
Nan Wan turned her head slightly, asking his preference, "Is there anything you want to eat?"
