This is really right across the door.
"Musen, does this count as us becoming childhood sweethearts again?"
Yao Mingyue wiped the sweat from Musen''s forehead with a wet cloth.
She had been moving furniture as well. Her long hair tied into a high ponytail, her fair cheeks now bearing two faint traces of dust, only made her look even more naturally genuine.
She looked up, her perfect features on full display. Whenever she mentioned the words "childhood sweethearts," her eyes would shine brightly.
The two of them were very close, both hot from moving furniture, each other''s breaths mingling in the air.
Gazing closely at each other''s cheeks.
Musen was slightly dazed, this face had once dominated his entire youth, and even the latter half of his life.
Eighteen-year-old Yao Mingyue was really pretty, her lips slightly pursed. Through the small gap when they were slightly parted, one could see a row of white teeth... Sёarch* The N??elFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Want to taste?"
Yao Mingyue moved closer to him, her words like a siren''s whisper. She gently parted her lips, her tender pink tongue agile like a little snake.
But her own earlobes had turned somewhat red.
Meanwhile, Musen reached out a finger and lightly flicked her tender tongue.
"Ah..."
Caught off guard, Yao Mingyue almost bit her tongue, "You, you flicked my tongue?"
"Tongue? I thought it was a snake hissing."
Musen said with a smile, moving his finger again; turns out, the tongue of a beautiful girl is quite soft.
What would the eighteen-year-old Yao Mingyue taste like?
Musen suddenly felt an unexpected anticipation.
"Musen, you really are a coward!"
"I would rather say I''m a responsible and serious good man."
Musen turned around, "Clean up yourself; I''m going to take a shower."
Having said that, Musen went back to his house, wanting to take a cool shower.
But just as Musen entered the bathroom, he suddenly heard knocking at the door, and it was directly on the bathroom door.
"Brother Musen, open the door quickly, it''s me, your sister-in-law!"
"..."
Musen was speechless for a moment, then went to open the door, and sure enough, there was Yao Mingyue standing at the doorway.
In her hand, she was holding a key to Musen''s house.
"Where did you get this key from?"
"Found it."
"..."
Musen didn''t believe her for a second; she must have taken the chance to make a copy.
"Stingy, I might as well give you a key to my room too, alright?"
Yao Mingyue smiled, taking out another key from her bosom and handed it to Musen.
Seeing Yao Mingyue''s beaming smile, that was probably her real intent.
After all, exchanging keys between the two families had become tradition.
Musen wasn''t concerned that she would do anything in the middle of the night.
"Do you need anything else?"
Musen asked as he saw her standing at the doorway, not leaving.
"Today, Nuannuan, is she not at home?"
Yao Mingyue had long researched it; every Sunday, An Nuannuan always went back to her parents'' house.
```
"Then come with me to a place, tonight, just the two of us."
Yao Mingyue looked at him, not giving him a chance to refuse, "So, it''s settled, you go take a bath, make sure you''re nice and clean and smelling good~"
Yao Mingyue winked at him, then turned around lightly, her swinging high ponytail leaving behind an enchanting scent in the air.
Xu Musen watched her retreating figure, Yao Mingyue at eighteen... Could she really be this cute and yet so rogue?
Xu Musen looked at the keys in his hand, lost in thought for a while before he slowly shook his head with a smile, feeling as if, having lived once more, he had not only An Nuannuan but also a different Yao Mingyue.
...
Nighttime.
Xu Musen went to knock on the door across the way, but Yao Mingyue wasn''t there, only a message had come through on his phone.
"The riverbank, you know the drill."
Xu Musen looked at the message.
Back at the riverbank again, Xu Musen almost feared the silly girl had jumped in the river again—it''s not good when the plot repeats itself too many times.
But Xu Musen turned off his phone, and still headed towards the designated spot.
The temperature had risen.
The chill by the river at night was minimal, and for a strapping young lad, it was the perfect night to wear short sleeves and enjoy the breeze.
There were many people taking a stroll along the river, not as bustling as the Bund, but the shimmering lights on both sides of the bank still added a non-stop city vibe to this magic metropolis.
Xu Musen stepped onto the sandy shore of the riverbank, feeling as if he were at the seaside.
He went straight to the most secluded corner of the riverbank, where only a roadside lamp offered some light.
It seemed especially quiet.
Xu Musen looked around but didn''t see Yao Mingyue anywhere.
"Where are you?"
He waited a long time for a reply.
"Close your eyes and count backward from ten, and I''ll appear!"
"What are you playing at?"
"Never you mind, just do it quickly, or else you''ll have to fish me out of the river later!"
Reading the message from Yao Mingyue, Xu Musen couldn''t help but laugh and cry; who uses themselves to threaten others?
It was just like when they were kids, and she would threaten to starve herself if he didn''t take her out to play.
Somehow it was stupidly adorable.
But, since he was already there.
Xu Musen sat on the soft sand and slowly closed his eyes.
"I''m starting to count! Ten, nine..."
Xu Musen''s voice echoed on the deserted stretch of beach.
And behind him, from behind a stone pool, a graceful figure holding something in her hands was taking step by step towards him.
"Six, five, four..."
Xu Musen could already hear footsteps approaching. He didn''t cheat and open his eyes, "Four, three, two..."
"Snap~"
The sound of a lighter, and Xu Musen felt a flash of light before his eyes.
At the same time, a crisp and beautiful singing voice gradually reached him~
"Happy birthday to you~"
In a daze, Xu Musen opened his eyes, and in front of him.
There stood the girl holding a cake, the candlelight casting her exquisite face into a dreamlike illusion.
Yao Mingyue...
