Why even bring up 'husband', and that move... Bai Xin wondered whether she should make a call to her best friend to talk about it.
Maybe these two kids have already tasted the forbidden fruit or something.
Bai Xin helped her slowly lie down in the bathtub; by now, Yao Mingyue was also gradually sobering up.
She looked at the bathroom in front of her and felt someone touching her body.
A conclusion popped into her mind instantly.
Could it be that she drank too much and Xu Musen brought her directly to a hotel room?
Although she really didn't want her first time to be in a hotel, as long as it was him... she would let him make it up to her properly later.
As she was wildly speculating in her mind, her vision gradually cleared, and she turned her head, only to see Bai Xin's face.
"You're finally awake. How much did you drink?"
Bai Xin gently touched her forehead with concern; thankfully, there were no signs of a fever.
"Aunt Bai... Where am I?"
"At my place. Xu Musen brought you here. I was so worried just now; both you and he were drenched when you arrived. What on earth happened?" Bai Xin asked softly.
Yao Mingyue was startled for a moment and then started to explain slowly.
"It's nothing. I just felt upset and went out to drink by the Bund with him. I accidentally slipped..."
Yao Mingyue spoke without raising any alarms.
Of course, Bai Xin knew what she said wasn't true, but seeing her , she could only pat her head.
"Okay, you soak in the bath, and I'll get some clothes ready for you."
"Mhm, thank you, Aunt Bai."
Bai Xin stood up and left the bathroom.
Once in the room, she took out her phone and called Liu Rushuang.
"Hello, Xiao Bai, calling me in the middle of the night. Can't sleep by yourself?"
Liu Rushuang spoke teasingly.
Bai Xin rolled her eyes; her house was quite lively now.
"Your precious daughter and the son-in-law you picked out both came to my house drenched today."
"What? They got... in a predicament?"
Liu Rushuang said, sounding shocked, but there wasn't much opposition in her tone?
Bai Xin held her forehead; married women are indeed bold drivers.
"They said they were in a bad mood and went to drink by the Bund together, but from the look of them, it seems like they went diving in the river instead."
There was silence on the other end of the phone before the reply came: "Is that so."
"Seriously, your daughter is soaking wet, and you aren't concerned at all?"
"With Xiaosen there, what do I have to worry about?"
Bai Xin thought about it and indeed, it was Xu Musen who had carried her all the way here.
"Something might have happened between the two of them. I think you should come over and check on them when you have time."
"I'm not afraid of them getting into trouble; what I fear is that they won't have any. The fiercer they argue, the better it might actually be for the two of them. Just keep an eye on them for me."
Liu Rushuang's tone carried the confidence of someone who had been there and done that.
Bai Xin sighed as she listened, "I really don't understand you people; dating seems more exhausting than work..."
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xu Musen also received a message.
An Nuannuan: "Xu Musen, you're not coming back tonight?"
Xu Musen picked up his phone and rang her immediately.
The call connected quickly.
"Nuannuan, I won't be back for dinner today. I'll be home later. Cough... remember to eat, okay?"
Xu Musen spoke, trying to restrain a cough; he had been exposed to the cold wind all the way, irritated by the alcohol, and alternating between sweating and chills from a quick jog.
He felt a bit stuffy in the nose.
"Xu Musen, are you not feeling well?" An Nuannuan could hear the dull tone in his voice.
"It's nothing, just a bit of a chill. You should also rest early."
At that moment, in Hu Hai University.
An Nuannuan was still at the bubble tea shop. She counted the money they made today; they earned quite a lot.
She was thinking of giving Xu Musen a surprise.
But then she remembered the sound of Xu Musen's coughing, and her peach blossom-like eyes flickered slightly.
She tugged at Zhao Lianmai's sleeve: "Sister Lianmai, do they sell cold medicine in the infirmary?"
"Oh, then I'll make a trip there." An Nuannuan nodded and started moving her wheelchair, preparing to head over.
Zhao Lianmai had heard their conversation earlier.
With this weather, catching a cold isn't easy, and nasal congestion and such could likely be gone after a good sleep.
But seeing the hopeful expression on An Nuannuan's face, she nodded anyway.
Yet, watching An Nuannuan push the wheelchair, moving alone on the dimly lit path,
She couldn't help but sigh.
No cold remedy could match the thoughtfulness of Nuannuan.
She locked the door to the bubble tea shop and followed her.
