Mu Xingfeng noticed that the little girl kept eyeing him, but he didn’t care. He picked up the greens and asked, "How should I chop this?"
An Ran pointed at the ribs beside him, "Handle that first, the greens will be last."
Without a word, Mu Xingfeng put down the greens and went to wash the ribs.
Oh my god, it feels so good to order Instructor Mu around. Can I do this from now on?
An Ran was a bit smug.
Mu Xingfeng could easily tell that the little girl was different than usual today. However, he really loved this side of An Ran—fearless, unguarded, no reservations about him, and none of that hot-and-cold affection.
An Ran set up the pot and lit the fire, poured in some base oil, and then casually said, "Slice a few pieces of scallion and ginger."
Mu Xingfeng sliced them and handed them over.
"Pass me the chili peppers."
He handed over two chili peppers.
He placed the sugar in her hand.
An Ran felt completely satisfied and started humming a song while stir-frying the ribs.
"Of course, Instructor Mu is a colonel. Ordering a colonel around is such a thrill," An Ran blurted out without thinking.
She suddenly realized who she was talking to and glanced sideways to see the enlarged handsome face next to her, scaring her into stepping back.
Accidentally spoke her mind, how embarrassing.
Mu Xingfeng lifted his hand to ruffle her long hair but noticed his hand wasn’t clean, so he ended up pinching her slightly chubby cheek, "I’d love for you to boss me around for a lifetime."
An Ran’s face turned red instantly. Initially, when she saw Instructor Mu’s cold and haughty face, she thought being with someone like him forever would be pure torture. But now, this same Instructor Mu turned on the charm, completely overwhelming her.
After dinner, Mu Xingfeng took An Ran back to school.
He wanted to spend more time with the little girl, but work awaited at the military base. After stealing half an hour of time with her, he finally took An Ran back to school.
As soon as she entered the dorm, Xiao Xiao pulled her over.
"An Ran, did your foster father give you any trouble?" Then she stared at An Ran’s mouth, "Whoa, An Ran, what happened to your mouth?"
An Ran touched her mouth, which reddened.
She cursed inwardly, blaming it all on Instructor Mu. It was like he hadn’t touched a woman in years; after dinner, he held her and kissed her for ages. No wonder her lips were swollen.
If Mu Xingfeng knew what she was thinking, he would definitely tell her that it wasn’t just years but over twenty years since he last touched a woman.
"Well, Instructor Mu came back this noon and had lunch with me. He likes spicy food." Implying that her swollen lips were from the spiciness. The source of thɪs content is 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵
Upon hearing that Instructor Mu was back, Xiao Xiao forgot about questioning An Ran, her eyes lighting up, "You guys got together? How was it? Did you get him?"
An Ran rolled her eyes, "Do I look like I managed to get Instructor Mu? Besides, it’s easier said than done, it’s not that easy to get him."
"True, for a man like Instructor Mu, especially being a military officer, if you did get him, you’d probably not be able to get out of bed for three days. You really need to think this through." Xiao Xiao sized up An Ran’s petite frame, speaking seriously.
"Xiao Xiao, you dirty mind," An Ran cursed angrily.
At this moment, the dorm door opened, and Wang Xiaoyi and Shen Qi walked in with their luggage.
"What are you guys talking about? We could hear your voices from afar," Wang Xiaoyi asked as she entered, smiling.
Ever since starting her job at the bar, Wang Xiaoyi had turned into a different person, dressing in a trendy and fashionable style.
At this moment, she had a head full of burgundy curls, dark eyeshadow, vibrant red lips, and high-kneed leather boots under a mid-length wool coat.
