Yao Mingyue had indeed become a model.
It had to be said that her figure was naturally a perfect clothes hanger, making everything she wore look good.
Instantly, she elevated the class of this small street-side shop by several levels.
The clothing store's proprietress couldn't stop smiling, thinking that she had scored free publicity and a free model for the day.
And every time Yao Mingyue changed into a new outfit, she would make a point of twirling in front of Xu Musen.
"How about this set?"
Yao Mingyue was dressed in a form-fitting lady's shirt and a light trench coat, along with a black pencil skirt, and topped off with a pair of sunglasses.
The clothing in the women's store was already aimed at a mature style, and Yao Mingyue had both the figure and the temperament to carry it with ease.
Her tall stature showcased the trench coat's allure to the fullest, exuding the charm of a mature woman. A pair of snow-white slender legs could be seen occasionally peeking out from beneath the coat.
Xu Musen was taken aback for a moment, as her outfit today was far too similar to the one she had worn when she suddenly appeared for a blind date with him in the past lifetime.
It was only missing a pair of black tights and red high heels, unpleasant memories came flooding back...
The girls in the store all looked on with envious eyes, thinking that if they had that body, even sticking on a couple of Band-Aids would look good.
"It's alright," he said, averting his gaze. He couldn't deny that the outfit she wore was extremely impactful on men.
Cuteness really stood little chance in the face of sexiness.
No wonder he had fallen for it so easily in his previous life.
Seeing the fleeting distracted look on his face earlier, Yao Mingyue felt a tinge of triumph in her heart. It seemed that this guy's body wasn't as tough as he made it out to be with his words.
"Boss, I'll buy this outfit."
"Hey, no need to buy it, just consider it a gift!"
The proprietress was obviously pleased, knowing as a business owner that having Yao Mingyue model for them today would definitely bring in more profit than the cost of the clothes.
By noon, work was over.
Yao Mingyue hadn't changed out of her clothes because she realized that Xu Musen couldn't help but sneak peeks at her when she wore this outfit.
Xu's mother also looked at Yao Mingyue with a growing sense of satisfaction. Given her height and good looks, if she indeed became her daughter-in-law and bore a big, chubby son, he would certainly be tall and handsome.
It was time for lunch.
The store was too busy for Xu's mother to leave, so she asked them to go eat first, and just to bring back a portion for her.
But no sooner had Xu Musen stepped out of the shop than he saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
There was An Nuannuan, standing in front of a luosifen rice noodle shop, frowning slightly at the smell but unable to resist the tempting sight of people enjoying their meals inside.
She wondered if it would be like stinky tofu: stinky but delicious when you eat it.
"Nuannuan!"
Xu Musen waved and greeted her, jogging over to her.
Yao Mingyue watched the look of surprise in Xu Musen's eyes; she clenched her teeth and, with her long legs, followed after him.
He Qiang was hanging back like an onlooking crowd member.
Could it be that licking boots really could accumulate enough to cause a qualitative change?
Xu Musen arrived by An Nuannuan's side, observing her eager expression.
"Haven't had lunch yet?"
"Hmm."
An Nuannuan sniffed the aroma again, looking somewhat conflicted.
Xu Musen smiled. "Luosifen is actually quite tasty. Want to try some?"
Trusting Xu Musen's recommendations, An Nuannuan decisively nodded her head.
At this moment, Yao Mingyue and He Qiang walked over.
An Nuannuan squinted, and upon seeing her clearly, her eyes lit up. "Ah, it's Good Person Sister and Little Black classmate."
"..." ×2
He Qiang's face darkened further. I have a name, dammit!
But how should he put it? After hearing it so often, it actually felt kind of endearing, and considering he often mooched fruit off her, he let it slide.
Yao Mingyue was clenching her fists tightly, taking a deep breath.
If it weren't for the dopey look in her eyes, Yao Mingyue would really wonder if she was deliberately trying to provoke her.
Observing her new wheelchair, Yao Mingyue simply nodded, her stature over one meter seventy towered half a body length above her.
"Are you also going to eat this?"
Xu Musen looked back at Yao Mingyue.
"You asked for my help, and you can't even treat me to a meal?"
Yao Mingyue looked at him, restraining herself to maintain her aloofness.
"Then let's go."
They entered the restaurant.
Each ordered a serving of river snail rice noodles.
Yao Mingyue squinted her eyes without speaking, but her aura was difficult to endure.
Xu Musen could ignore it, but He Qiang couldn't take it and directly took his bowl to another table.
"I don't have good table manners, don't want to splash you with oil."
He Qiang said, internally complaining that the atmosphere was too weird, better to keep his distance or else if they started fighting, he might get splattered with blood.
With that, An Nuannuan sat next to Xu Musen, and Yao Mingyue sat opposite him.
An Nuannuan looked at the steaming bowl of river snail rice noodles with red oil and a fried egg, which looked very appetizing.
"Eat up, it's really good."
Xu Musen took the first bite with some pickled bamboo shoots, actually the source of the smell, but it was surprisingly refreshing.
An Nuannuan hesitated and then took a tentative bite of the noodles, her eyes immediately sparkling, "It's fantastic!"
Her little mouth was stained a rosy red by the chili oil, appearing particularly bright and moist.
Across the table, Yao Mingyue frowned slightly as she looked into her bowl and said to the owner, "I said earlier that I didn't want any pickled bamboo shoots or scallions."
"Oh dear, I forgot with all the busy work..."
The owner said, but inside he thought, eating river snail rice noodles without pickled bamboo shoots? What's the point?
Xu Musen looked up and remembered that Yao Mingyue, the future CEO, really hated food with strong flavors.
For one, she disliked it, and secondly, she liked to get cozy with Xu Musen after meals.
Kissing would be inconvenient...
"Just pick them out."
Xu Musen unconsciously used his chopsticks to pick out all the pickled bamboo shoots and scallions from her bowl into his own.
Even he himself hadn't noticed how practiced his movements had become.
He Qiang chuckled inwardly, wondering where his lovesick brother had learned such skills?
Yao Mingyue, watching Xu Musen carefully picking out scallions for her, felt her usually cold cheeks also heat up.
The frustrated feelings that had long been suppressed in her heart finally dissipated a little.
She even glanced at An Nuannuan with a gleam of triumph in her phoenix eyes.
Then Xu Musen realized what he had done, his chopsticks paused... Bloody hell, the habit of serving a wealthy woman in his past life had seeped into his soul.
He looked up and saw the smile on Yao Mingyue's lips, Xu Musen pretended to be nonchalant and began eating again.
Yao Mingyue took advantage of the victory to also pass him the sausage and fried eggs in her bowl.
"I don't like this greasy food," she said softly, flipping her hair to reveal her exquisitely perfect jawline, fair neck, and delicate collarbone, sending one's blood racing.
In contrast, An Nuannuan's face looked a bit more fleshy, especially as she ate wholeheartedly, her little mouth all shiny with oil.
Compared to the elegant Yao Mingyue, she did seem a bit silly.
"Mmm... Good sister, you're so tall, just like a straight bamboo."
An Nuannuan nodded in praise.
She found the river snail rice noodles a bit spicy, so she took a sip of milk tea and found it got in the way of her eating.
So, she just placed the milk tea against her chest. S~eaʀᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Firm and steady!
A bite of rice noodles followed by a sip of milk tea, utterly satisfying!
At this movement, Xu Musen's mouth twitched.
Why did he suddenly feel a bit thirsty too?
Yao Mingyue paused for a moment, looked at her... then at herself.
"..."
Although not bad, there was clearly a gap!
And that phrase "like a bamboo..."
A sense of unnamed defeat almost crushed her teeth!
