Chapter 193: Chapter 122: So He Prefers Socks More?_2

Saying that, Zhou Hangyu walked over and stood in front of Zhu Yulan, "Hello, beauty."Zhu Yulan turned around to look at him, her gaze level with Zhou Hangyu's, thinking he was there to learn about her project.

A smile appeared on her face, "Are you interested in learning about our recruitment software?"

"Uh… well, I actually wanted to get to know you a little."

Zhu Yulan's smile was still quite charming, and Zhou Hangyu coughed, taking out his phone.

"So you came over to hit on me?"

Zhu Yulan saw his action and understood he wasn't there for the project; her patience instantly vanished.

"Uh, so can we exchange contact information?"

Zhou Hangyu hadn't expected the other party to be so direct, but with such a straightforward personality, exchanging contacts shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Zhu Yulan glanced at him silently, he was about the same height as herself, and she spoke indifferently, "Sorry, I don't like to stoop to talk to people."

With that, she turned her back on him and ignored him.

Zhou Hangyu stood rooted to the spot for a while before realizing, damn it!

Was he just mocked for his height?

My god, are men under one meter eighty not considered human?

Zhou Hangyu left defeated, and Li Rundong, seeing him downcast, couldn't help but take pleasure in his misfortune.

"Best to leave it to me!"

Li Rundong strode over and arrived behind Zhu Yulan, clearing his throat.

"Hello there, fellow student."

Zhu Yulan turned around and glanced at Li Rundong, "Are you here to flirt too?"

"No, I'm here to learn about advertising. Do you have a business card or something, so I can have a serious look when I go back?"

Li Rundong pressed forward by appearing to back off.

Zhou Hangyu couldn't help but curse inwardly, this guy really wasn't slacking off; he even knew this trick.

Zhu Yulan gave him another look and suddenly noticed the hat on his head with a cute kangaroo pattern.

She hesitated for a moment before reaching for her business card, "You... work for Xu Musen?"

Li Rundong was somewhat indignant, but right now, Xu Musen indeed was the object of many girls' affections. Having such a good friend as a backbone made conversations with women more interesting.

He coughed and straightened his back with pride, "I am also one of the persons in charge at Kangaroo Delivery, and Xu Musen is my roommate. We are iron brothers!"

But Zhu Yulan's gaze shifted, looking over at the guy who had just tried to hit on her.

So they all came from the same den; no wonder they all looked so sneaky!

Moreover, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly noticed a familiar figure.

An Nuannuan pushed a wheelchair up to Xu Musen, also holding a cup of lemonade for him to drink.

Hey? Isn't that the boss of the bubble tea shop?

Zhu Yulan paused, and then it clicked for her; no wonder that guy insisted she go to that bubble tea shop to order lemonade.

So this so-called "boss lady" was his girl?

Great, using her own banner to advertise for him.

And spending her own money to help him flirt and boost his performance!

She felt like she was being manipulated by him all along?

The more Zhu Yulan thought about it, the angrier she got, and she took back the business card she had taken out. She looked at this "iron brother" of Xu Musen's.

All tainted with the same muck—scoundrels!

"Ptui! Not a single good one among them!"

Zhu Yulan spat and turned away.

Li Rundong stood there, stunned. Was this a Beijing Opera face change?

Why did it seem like as soon as this girl heard Xu Musen's name, it was like she had been scorned by Xu Musen?

Damn it, Xu Musen, you're killing me!

Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong's fragile psyches were struck yet another blow.

They watched as Xu Musen and An Nuannuan were affectionately feeding each other lemonade.

Their gazes started to resemble that of jilted, resentful women.

...

"Xu Musen, why are they looking at you like that?" An Nuannuan, upon noticing their grievous eyes, asked curiously.

"Probably because their courtship has failed again. You've seen Animal World, right?" Xu Musen replied with a bit of schadenfreude.

"Oh~ It feels like those two are always in what Animal World calls the mating season~"

An Nuannuan made a remark.

Xu Musen couldn't help but burst into laughter; Nuannuan's analysis always managed to hit right where it hurts.

Ring ring ring...

The phone rang and Xu Musen glanced at the caller ID.

Yao Mingyue

Xu Musen looked at An Nuannuan and then answered, "Hello?"

"Xu Musen, the clothes you left at Auntie Bai's house yesterday are washed. I've brought them over for you."

"Sure, just leave it with the dorm supervisor downstairs; I'm not in the dorm right now," Find your next read at мѵʟ

Xu Musen said softly. seaʀᴄh thё ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Oh."

After Yao Mingyue had finished speaking, she paused for a moment, "Are you coming back to watch the military training performance tonight?"

"Of course."

As Xu Musen spoke, it was the evening when the results would be reviewed, so he would certainly appear.

"That's good then."

Yao Mingyue's voice carried a hint of unexplained emotion, and she hung up the phone.

"Is that the nice older sister?"

An Nuannuan watched him hang up the phone, her large eyes twinkling.

"How did you know?"

"Because every time you talk to her, you're a little different from when you talk to others."

An Nuannuan spoke slowly, not quite able to pinpoint how it was different.

Xu Musen thought about it carefully, different, huh... After all, they were once husband and wife in a past life, it's not that easy to change so many little habits overnight.

"Xu Musen, you and nice older sister actually have a good relationship, right?"

"What makes you say that?"

"I don't know, just a hunch. You guys, in the past... "

An Nuannuan's large eyes blinked as she seemed to want to say something but didn't know how to say it.

"The past is the past, now is now, my best friend has changed now,"

Xu Musen looked down at An Nuannuan.

In the sunlight, Xu Musen's smile was extraordinarily fresh and scorching.

An Nuannuan slightly lowered her head, the sun was so strong, her cheeks were so hot~

...

Meanwhile, Yao Mingyue sat in Bai Xin's car as they returned to school together.

In her hand, she held a bag containing Xu Musen's laundered and dried clothes.

She arrived beneath Xu Musen's dormitory, initially wanting him to come down and get it, she looked at the dorm supervisor dozing off.

She lowered her head to look at the bag in her hand once again.

Instead of passing it to the supervisor, she silently chose to go upstairs.

No one was in the dorm, she pushed the door open and entered.

Her gaze fell on Xu Musen's bed, and after confirming the room was empty, she threw herself onto his bed.

Such a strong smell of Musen~

She hugged the pillow and took a few deep breaths, as if she wanted to embrace him as well.

In the end, she managed to suppress her emotions one more time.

She placed the bag with the clothes at the head of the bed.

She smoothed out the bed she had messed up, put the crumpled pillow back in place, but just then,

a bunch of white things fell from the back of the pillow.

Upon closer inspection... socks?

And they were the type of cute cotton socks that only girls would wear.

Yao Mingyue wouldn't wear such childish socks; she looked down at her own legs, remembering her socks got soaked by the river water yesterday.

Disliking the smell of lake water, she threw them away.

So Bai Xin found her a pair of white stockings instead.

Her slender and delicate legs, encased in white silk, with its lacy patterns, added a youthful and lively charm.

These socks...

A vision of An Nuannuan's seemingly innocent but possibly sly face flashed through Yao Mingyue's mind.

It had to belong to her.

A surge of jealousy washed over Yao Mingyue, almost compelling her to throw the socks away immediately.

But then she thought, what if he couldn't find his socks and asked her for some other piece of fabric?

Yao Mingyue clenched her teeth, this pervert...

She resented that he didn't want her things, but instead kept a pair of socks?

Could he be a foot fetishist?

Yao Mingyue thought as she looked down at the white silk she was wearing. She locked the door from the inside.

Then, she gently lifted the hem of her skirt and slowly took off the white stockings she was wearing. The sunlight fell on her pristine legs, dazzlingly white.

The stockings came off, soft and white, a magical piece of fabric that was even more provocative than socks.

She picked up that pair of socks and stuffed them in.

Since you like them, I might as well give them to you.

It seemed to be her way of expressing,

no matter what you like right now, in the end, you'll realize that you've never really left me...
