Xu Musen received a message on his phone and glanced at it, smiling as he replied with two words.
"Coming home."
He turned to leave, and the snow continued to rustle down. Although it had been a fine snow all day, the accumulation by this point had made it far deeper than before...
At home.
When Xu Musen entered his room, he felt a burst of heat, along with the gurgling sounds.
A hot pot was set up in the living room, currently bubbling away, surrounded by ingredients like lamb rolls and shrimp paste.
"Back already?"
An Nuannuan was wearing a fluffy white rabbit pajama, hopping over to Xu Musen excitedly.
"Mhm, hot pot today?"
Seeing An Nuannuan, Xu Musen felt instantly healed as he stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek skillfully, "Did you prepare all this yourself?"
"Mhm mhm, I may not know how to cook, but I sure know how to eat. We people from Sichuan and Chongqing always love hot pot~"
An Nuannuan giggled foolishly, "And it's snowing today! Mom said eating hot pot when it's snowing means you definitely won't get cold ears~"
Xu Musen loved her silly enthusiasm and couldn't help but lean down to kiss her.
"Eh, there's a bit of a taste in your mouth... and your lips are a bit red..."
An Nuannuan examined Xu Musen.
Xu Musen slightly moved the corners of his lips and then suddenly pulled out a string of candied haws from behind, "Is it this taste?"
"Wow! Candy haw!"
An Nuannuan, like a girl who forgets her troubles at the sight of food, immediately jumped for joy.
An Nuannuan bit into one, and the crisp sugar coating with the sweetenss of the hawthorn hit her palate, but then something struck her mind, and she looked up at Xu Musen.
The girl's pearly white teeth gently touched the haw, the glistening crimson syrup coated the verdant fruit, creating a lush imagery.
Xu Musen, very proficiently, bowed his head to taste... between his lips.
"Delicious."
"Hehe~"
"I have another surprise for you."
Xu Musen said as he pulled out a snowman from his pocket, which he collected along the way amidst the snow, and the snowman looked even more adorably plump and round.
"Wow! So cute!"
An Nuannuan happily received the snowman, her sparkling eyes squinting into crescents.
The two sat down to eat hot pot, An Nuannuan enjoying the meal, especially when looking at the little snowman next to her, she even fetched ice cubes from the fridge to prevent the snowman from melting.
Xu Musen, on the other hand, was constantly watching her.
"Nuannuan, I've been out all day, and you haven't asked what I went out for?"
Xu Musen suddenly asked.
"Why should I ask? You must have your own things to do, and you wouldn't hide anything from me, right?"
An Nuannuan raised her round, bright eyes, clear enough to make one feel ashamed.
Xu Musen took a deep breath, feeling like such a terrible scoundrel...
He inhaled deeply.
"Nuannuan, today I actually went out with Ming Yue..."
"Oh~"
"Oh?"
Although Xu Musen was sometimes accustomed to her naivety, now he could tell that her "naivety" had several different nuances.
"Aren't you going to ask what we did?"
"If I don't ask, you'll tell me anyway, right?"
An Nuannuan fished out a shrimp paste, seriously coated it with sesame oil, as if the big green hat wasn't as worthy of attention as the shrimp paste in front of her.
Xu Musen couldn't help but chuckle with a bit of helplessness, "Well… I actually made a snowman for her."
"Oh."
"And the candied haw, I bought it for her first."
"Oh."
"Actually… we went out on what you might call, a date."
"Oh_"
An Nuannuan remained silent, with each "oh" followed by applying more chili pepper to the shrimp paste.
The kind of fiery Sichuan and Chongqing chili pepper that could take a life.
"An Nuannuan, aren't you the slightest bit jealous?"
Xu Musen was a bit at a loss, wondering why this girl seemed not to get upset at all.
An Nuannuan continued to roll the shrimp paste in sesame oil and chili, looking at Xu Musen, "Is the candied haw you bought her better than mine?"
"They're actually the same..."
"Was the snowman you made for her larger than mine?"
"Well, yours is a little bigger..."
"Also, I'm still your girlfriend right now, right?"
"Right." frёeωebɳovel.com
"Then that's settled!"
An Nuannuan spoke decisively.
"Settled... what?"
Xu Musen found he was still struggling to follow her logic.
An Nuannuan hummed and lifted her fair little face.
"Since I'm your girlfriend, only when we go out can it be called a date, so what you did can only be called... an affair!"
Xu Musen: ???
Wait, why does she look so proudly triumphant like Detective Conan cracking a case?
"The point is…"
Xu Musen took a deep breath, looking at An Nuannuan's expression and finally shaking his head, "Nuannuan, I didn't want to keep it from you, Ming Yue's got some health issues, and I can't just abandon her. I'm sorry that on Huhai's first snowy day, I wasn't the first to be with you..."
An Nuannuan's eyes flickered, seemingly unperturbed by the news, as calm as if she knew it all along.
She slowly wrapped the shrimp paste in chili pepper, slowly starting to say, "I know, and to be honest, I was a little upset today…"
"Sorry."
Xu Musen drew in a deep breath.
"But, what makes me happy is that you didn't hide it from me… although the first candied haw wasn't mine, you remembered to bring me a string in my favorite grape flavor; although the first snowman wasn't for me, mine is the biggest; and although the first snowfall wasn't watched with me, you still came home, right? To our home."
