Chapter 114: Chapter 95: Are you just giving him a taste of sweetness?
I escorted An Nuannuan to the dormitory building.
All the way there, Xu Musen was thinking about the things that had just happened.
He hadn't expected An Nuannuan to say such words.
The girl who usually seemed so goofy and dorky, turned out to have such a delicate mind. To be honest, the words she said earlier really touched Xu Musen's heart.
You are good to me, so I want to be good to you too, even without those "identities".
This is what a true little fairy is!
"Xu Musen, was I wrong just now?"
An Nuannuan suddenly spoke up.
"Hmm?" Xu Musen hadn't reacted yet and looked down into her eyes.
An Nuannuan pouted her lips.
"Actually, I feel kind of sorry for Good Person Sister. She doesn't seem to have many friends around, always coming and going alone."
Xu Musen listened and reflected silently for a moment.
Yes, Yao Mingyue's strong aura and personality indeed made it hard for her to find friends.
Maybe it didn't matter to her, after all, she only had eyes for Xu Musen.
But now, it seemed like she truly didn't have any confidants by her side.
However, unless she changed her ways, Xu Musen couldn't gamble his life on her, otherwise, they would both be miserable.
"It's not your fault; it's her own issues," he shook his head.
An Nuannuan gave an "Oh," her big eyes swirling, her little brain seemingly pondering for quite a while before she spoke, "Xu Musen, do you really not like her anymore?"
Xu Musen looked down at her upturned, snowy face, her clear eyes seeming somewhat moved.
He slowly began, "Liking someone and being suitable for each other are not the same. I don't like her personality as it is now."
"Then what kind of personality do you like?" An Nuannuan continued to ask, like a curious baby.
Xu Musen couldn't help but look at her.
An Nuannuan wasn't as ostentatious or dazzling as Yao Mingyue when you first meet her.
But her pretty face had an extraordinarily comforting effect.
If Yao Mingyue was the unapproachable, aloof beauty of youth,
Then An Nuannuan was the kind of cute and innocent girl, beautiful without awareness.
Having been manipulated by others in his past life, Xu Musen always wanted to find someone he could control.
Looking at An Nuannuan's harmless appearance, he smiled slightly and said, "I still prefer someone who is good-looking and will obediently listen to me, someone not too bright will do."
"Oh~"
An Nuannuan nodded, her intelligence obviously not modest. She was, after all, smart!
"What about you? What kind of boy do you like?" asked Xu Musen, unable to help himself.
An Nuannuan was startled for a moment, as if her little brain had never processed such a complex thought.
After thinking for a long while without knowing how to answer, she finally looked up at Xu Musen, appearing somewhat troubled and aggrieved, "I just wanted to mooch a meal..."
Xu Musen was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh.
"Forget it, let's pretend I didn't ask. Go back and have a good nap."
With that, Xu Musen turned to leave, but An Nuannuan tugged at his sleeve.
"What is it?"
"Can you... take me for ice cream tonight?"
An Nuannuan licked her pink lips, looking at him expectantly.
"Of course."
Xu Musen looked at this little foodie, and it seemed like in her heart, food probably rated higher than dating.
Xu Musen couldn't help but tap her forehead lightly.
"Good afternoon."
Xu Musen turned and left.
An Nuannuan watched his retreating figure, her clear eyes stirring with ripples.
"Eh~ You two are so sweet!"
At that moment, her plump roommate Ge Jiayue and Jiang Jinfang had also just come back from eating, and they had witnessed the parting scene between the two.
Ge Jiayue's face was filled with a fangirl's excitement, "Hehe, were you guys just exchanging some secret signals? Was it like in Journey to the West, secretly meeting him at midnight to learn magic that can make you grow big or small?"
An Nuannuan blinked, her tone both joyful and boastful, "He said he'd take me for ice cream."
The two glanced at each other, their looks carrying hidden meanings. Typically, when a boy takes a girl out for ice cream, his intentions are not so innocent.
A common tactic for probing military secrets.
Ge Jiayue blushed and leaned in closer.
"Are you coming back to the dorm today?"
"Huh?"
An Nuannuan blinked her clear, peach blossom eyes.
"Never mind, as long as you're safe going out and coming in..."
Seeing An Nuannuan's oblivious expression, they didn't have the heart to tease her further.
Back in the dorm, An Nuannuan went to the balcony and took out the sketch she had drawn today.
The drawing depicted Xu Musen during military training, seemingly smiling at her through her pencil at all times.
An Nuannuan's eyes sparkled as she continued to draw, focusing on the details of his body.
But when she got to his arms, she felt dissatisfied with the muscle lines no matter what.
Maybe just looking wasn't enough to catch all the details; An Nuannuan thought for a bit, perhaps there was another way to appreciate the subtleties?
By now, the other roommates had returned to the dorm as well.
One of them excitedly said,
"Hey! Have you heard? Apparently there was almost a fight in the cafeteria today over a boy!"
"Really? We were at the cafeteria, how come we didn't notice?"
"Of course, it's true. You might have been on a different floor. Someone even took pictures."
"Let me see... But it's all back shots; wait, this guy looks really familiar."
