Childhood Sweetheart Limited Edition.
Yao Mingyue stood at the entrance of the shop, her gaze lingering with profound meaning.
The title of "madam" might change in the future,
But a childhood sweetheart is truly one of a kind.
With a smile on her face, Yao Mingyue extended a finger, seemingly unintentionally placing it beside her lips, her exquisite beauty undoubtedly the object of longing in the adolescence of many boys.
Her smile was sweet, yet there seemed to waft a faint scent of gunpowder in the air.
Only Xu Musen knew what that gesture meant.
"Now that we're out of every special, would you like some pearl milk tea?"
"Anything is fine, as long as it's made by you personally, it would be the best kind for me."
Yao Mingyue ignored everyone's stares, her arms resting on the counter, cradling her delicate cheeks, her flawless skin still bright and clear without any makeup, not a single blemish.
Only her lips seemed to be glossed with lip balm, looking especially rosy and soft, like a ripe peach, inviting and luscious.
She gazed at Xu Musen from up close, as if inviting him to taste her allure.
The corners of her eyes seemed to sparkle; there was no denying that Yao Mingyue was beautiful, especially with such a flirtatious air, with an animated yet slightly domineering charm, hard to resist.
That was also what had enamored Xu Musen in the past.
The bystanders, though firmly in An Nuannuan's camp, found it very difficult to utter a word of rejection at this moment.
They couldn't deny that the full-on assault of this wealthy and beautiful girl was hard to withstand.
Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong felt this the most acutely.
Damn, they suddenly felt that if Xu Musen really couldn't resist the temptation to play both sides in the future, it would be somewhat understandable.
After all, who could resist such alluring advances?
Xu Musen gazed at her, but in the end, his eyes turned to An Nuannuan.
Then he suddenly asked with a smile, "Madam, do we take this order or not?"
An Nuannuan had been a bit distracted. There was a lot she didn't understand, but she knew one thing:
that the person in front of her was trying to take someone very important away from her.
Someone who had taken advantage of the right time and place and who had occupied his entire youth, Xu Musen's once-favorite.
Nuannuan wasn't afraid of her, only worried that Xu Musen might look back...
But at that moment, Xu Musen asked her with a gentle smile,
as if he was handing her the initiative.
Nuannuan clenched her small fists silently, her cute face lifting up.
Her soft peach-blossom eyes met his sly phoenix eyes.
A faint scent of gunpowder seemed to diffuse through the space.
The onlookers exchanged puzzled glances, understanding this was a direct confrontation.
If it were them, they definitely wouldn't be willing to make milk tea for a rival in love.
"Of course, we can. Selling one more cup of milk tea means earning a bit more money,"
Nuannuan's response surprised everyone.
She lifted her head; her clear eyes held no other emotion, but she seemed to emphasize the word "we" a little more.
The smile on Yao Mingyue's face remained unchanged, but a shadow flickered within her eyes.
We... it used to be just me and him...
Xu Musen hadn't expected Nuannuan to respond so directly, thinking that if she and Yao Mingyue were to switch roles, she probably would want to chop up the other person and make them into milk tea.
Xu Musen prepared a cup of milk tea for Yao Mingyue, and although he claimed to be casual, he instinctively matched the sweetness to Yao Mingyue's taste.
"Here's your milk tea."
Xu Musen handed the milk tea to her.
Yao Mingyue took it and drank a sip right away, the sweetness exactly to her liking.
"Sure enough, you still remember my favorite level of sweetness. Thank you, my Brother Musen~"
Yao Mingyue's smile brightened, emphasizing "my" particularly clearly.
As if to counterattack.
Everyone inevitably turned their gazes back to An Nuannuan.
But Nuannuan appeared unruffled, just silently lifting her eyes to Xu Musen, her gaze clear.
"Actually, Musen has always been very attentive to remembering what others like to eat. It's just that some people take it for granted and overlook it."
Her voice carried no anger, only a hint of compassion for Xu Musen.
That response was a knockout blow.
Xu Musen felt a shiver in his heart, though it was all a thing of the past and each had been willing—him being taunted as a lickspittle was common.
But hearing someone finally stand in that position to think for him sent a tremor through his heart.
That answer silenced Yao Mingyue.
The milk tea in her mouth was sweet, but a hint of sourness rose in her heart, and she felt somewhat at a loss for words.
She looked at Xu Musen. Yes, Xu Musen had always been good to her.
It was her own capriciousness and greed that had led to the current situation.
She composed herself, stroked the tea cup, and her gaze became resolute again: "So, I'll slowly give back everything from the past, bit by bit."
The milk tea shop became eerily quiet.
Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong looked at each other.
They suddenly realized that sailing two boats, especially those of wealthy women, was not easy.
With this dialogue and atmosphere, they probably would have knelt on the spot if it were them.
