The little boy was utterly bewildered. Could there really be such a shameless person in this world?
Who praises themselves like that?
An Nannan was listening and almost choked on her milk tea from the gurgling laughter that followed, giggling away.
Afterwards, Xu Musen patted An Nannan on the head, "Let's go, head home for dinner. I've made you some chocolate cookies today."
An Nannan was also a little foodie, bouncing and skipping ahead following Xu Musen.
Leaving the little boy alone, standing there in disarray, how much emotional damage must this posturing have caused a twelve or thirteen-year-old child~
Arriving at An Nuannuan's house.
Xu Musen personally prepared a whole table of dishes.
The old man even uncorked a jar of wine he had been saving for years.
Xu Musen had planned to drive back, so he decided not to drink.
But grandma chuckled and said, "No worries, we have a room at home, it's already tidy for you, if you drink too much, just stay over."
"Is that... alright?"
This was the first time Xu Musen was being asked to stay over.
He glanced at An Nuannuan, the girl beside him, who was flashing him big, twinkling, eyes that seemed slightly expectant.
"What's there to be inconvenient about? Come on, the New Year is almost here, join this old man for a drink."
Grandpa was a typical old-timer with a straightforward manner, pulling Xu Musen in to pour the drinks.
Xu Musen had no choice but to nod in agreement.
On the side, An Nuannuan's lips curved slightly upward. Xu Musen was staying at her house for the first time.
Did that mean their relationship had progressed further?
Could it be that... they wouldn't be far from sharing a room together in the future~
Ah, An Nuannuan couldn't help but play with her chopsticks, her head bowed. Why did she feel like she was getting naughtier?
"Let's consider today's meal as an early New Year's celebration, wishing Grandpa and Grandma good health and a long life in the coming year!"
Xu Musen took the initiative to raise his glass. The fact that the elders had allowed him to stay over actually symbolized their approval, and Xu Musen felt very happy about it.
Did it also mean that he and An Nuannuan were getting closer to their unabashed days?
He and An Nuannuan exchanged glances.
They couldn't hide their desire to be naughty.
But in the end, who was the prey and who was the Hunter?
"Is that car outside a new purchase of yours?"
Grandma also noticed that he had driven back today.
"Yeah, I always need a car for meetings and business trips, and it's more convenient to take Nuannuan home too."
"That's good, Nuannuan has been well taken care of by you, which has put our minds at ease. Look at her, she's
gained some weight on her face."
Grandma looked at An Nuannuan, who was eating her meal quietly. An Nuannuan used to be in treatment all the time and couldn't eat too many stimulating foods.
Her food intake was controlled, so she naturally appeared somewhat slender.
But ever since she met Xu Musen, this young girl's cheeks always seemed a little plump, making her look like a cute steamed bun that was lovable to everyone.
Grandma stroked An Nuannuan's cheek and smiled at Xu Musen, "Don't spoil her too much on a regular basis, let her eat whatever she wants, it won't be good if she gets fat later."
An Nuannuan protested with a huff. She only drank two or three cups of milk tea a day, and then it was just eating a meal of hot pot~
Xu Musen smiled, a flicker in his eyes, "I've actually thought about it. The food in the school cafeteria is too greasy, and I was considering buying an apartment near the school in a while. This way, I can cook meals at home every day, and Nuannuan can eat healthier too."
These words from Xu Musen seemed to be spoken offhand.
But the elders exchanged looks and glanced at An Nuannuan, who was focused on her food beside them.
This young man... ambitious, aren't you?
Yet they didn't directly comment on it.
Only grandma smiled and replied, "It's good to have that intention. You are just starting your business, take it one step at a time."
Playing dumb, are we? Well, let's all play dumb then.
The meal was very enjoyable. The grandparents even asked Xu Musen about his plans for the New Year and expressed their concern for his parents, asking Xu Musen to send their regards back to them.
After dinner, Xu Musen was dragged by the old master to the yard to start martial arts training, with the old master directly starting to practice Drunken Boxing after drinking some alcohol.
And the conversation began to drift towards Xu Musen and his eldest granddaughter.
"Kid, how are things between you and Nuannuan now?"
"Have you been bullying Nuannuan? She's just too soft-hearted. She can't refuse when others say something, and I'm always worried that she'll be taken advantage of."
The grandfather spoke and started thrusting his spear at a wooden post.
Xu Musen swallowed, "Absolutely not, I keep an eye on Nuannuan every day. I make sure to send her back to her dorm on time every evening."
"That's good, but young people in love, I've been there, I can understand some things, but Nuannuan has just recovered from a serious illness, she can't handle too much stress. If it affects her health... I'll thrust!"
The old master suddenly let out a loud shout, and with a thrust, another wooden post was put out of commission.
Xu Musen felt sobered up and nodded repeatedly.
Upstairs, the grandmother, sipping her tea, couldn't help but chuckle at the scene.
But she actually had the same concerns.
It's natural for young people in a relationship to have some physical contact, and they're not so prudish.
However, they are also worried about Nuannuan, as she is now completely focused on Xu Musen.
But there are some things that are the most precious in a girl's life, and they still need to be cautious.
What's most important is that Nuannuan hasn't fully recovered yet, and if the young couple can't control themselves…
But Nuannuan should have a sense of propriety. The grandmother hoped she was just overthinking it, considering Nuannuan usually seemed a bit dull.
But everything was measured and chosen carefully in her heart.
This was also why they felt assured letting Nuannuan date Xu Musen.
As long as Nuannuan was aware of the boundaries, it was fine.
Spending the night for the first time at An Nuannuan's home, Xu Musen actually didn't feel uncomfortable.
After finishing martial arts training.
An Nuannuan's family had their own hot spring built in the backyard, and Xu Musen also took a dip.
In the adjoining women's bathing area.
An Nuannuan and An Nannan, the sisters, were also soaking in the bath.
An Nannan was gently scrubbing her sister's back.
Recently, An Nuannuan, using crutches for walking practice, looked increasingly trim. Her slender waist and curves had become more perfect.
An Nannan, as a girl, particularly admired her for that.
And after glancing at certain parts of her sister, she looked down at herself.
She felt like her sister was somehow more impressive than she was.
"Sister, can we sleep together tonight?"
An Nannan said expectantly. Whenever her sister came back, they always slept together, which gave her a particularly peaceful sleep.
But this time, An Nuannuan seemed a bit hesitant, "Nannan, you should sleep by yourself tonight."
"Ah? Why?" An Nannan suddenly felt a little disappointed.
"Because... I think I might have caught a cold, and I don't want to pass it to you. It's just for tonight, we can sleep together tomorrow, okay?"
An Nuannuan rarely lied. Her cheeks were a bit red, but everyone in the hot spring looked flush and tender, so it wasn't noticeable.
"Okay, then make sure you cover up well with your blanket, and close all the doors and windows tightly, so no draft gets in."
An Nannan always put her sister's health first and immediately expressed her concern.
An Nuannuan just nodded, slightly embarrassed, and touched her little sister's head.
Should the doors and windows be closed tightly tonight?
