Chapter 219: Chapter 130: The Flowers Sold Are Wishes From the Heart._2

An Nuannuan's eyes were clear as she looked at Xu Musen, who was the same as he had been six years ago, still so gentle.Xu Musen gazed at An Nuannuan's eyes, and he couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the strands of hair on her freshly washed head.

It occurred to him that he had missed so much. If he had met her earlier, perhaps his life wouldn't have been so monotonous.

By the time they met, they were almost graduating. It was when He Qiang and he were planning to start a business together, and he encountered An Nuannuan, who was selling the flowers he had discarded.

"If I hadn't happened to come across you selling the flowers I threw away, we might have continued to miss each other,"

Xu Musen said.

When the topic of selling flowers came up, An Nuannuan also nodded her little head.

Xu Musen looked at her, then asked, "Tell me, were you really picking up my flowers to earn some pocket money?"

He remembered An Nuannuan saying before that it wasn't her first time picking up his flowers, and obviously, her family wasn't lacking money.

Even to experience life, there was no need to keep an eye on his flowers every day.

Especially after confessing these matters today, he felt even more so that An Nuannuan had done it purposefully.

When this matter came up, An Nuannuan also spaced out for a moment. She lowered her head to look at the birthday cake tray in her hands, then raised her head to look at him.

"Xu Musen, do you still remember what you told me when you first gave me a cake?

You said that to make a birthday wish come true, one must finish the birthday cake, and the more people who eat it, the more blessings one gets."

An Nuannuan's voice was warm.

"So, I picked up all the flowers from your failed confessions and gave them to couples in love. I thought this way your intentions wouldn't be wasted, and more people would bless you…"

An Nuannuan spoke word by word, but waves surged through Xu Musen's mind.

Turns out, during his high school days mocked by everyone, there was someone paying silent attention to him.

Turns out, the flowers he prepared with care yet had to discard, were treasured and picked up by someone else.

Turns out a wealthy young lady pushed a wheelchair around the plaza every day selling flowers, merely to not waste his goodwill...

"So foolish…"

Xu Musen felt a little stifled in his heart as he looked at the clear-eyed girl before him, and he couldn't help but gently stroke her head. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She was foolish, and so was he.

He had failed to realize that there was indeed an angel by his side, capable of healing hearts.

"You're not foolish at all. It's not your fault; you just loved her too much. She didn't respond to you properly…"

An Nuannuan shook her head as she looked at Xu Musen, her big eyes filled with a tint of heartache.

Just like what she said on the day of the military training performance, she truly couldn't understand why, if you really liked someone, you wouldn't properly respond to the person who likes you.

This statement, like a breath of fresh air, passed by as Xu Musen looked at the girl before him. His heart, which had been sealed by concrete,

seemed to sprout a new, tender shoot in another corner.

"Right, I have something else for you."

An Nuannuan remembered something else, and she moved her wheelchair over to a drawer in the table and pulled out a bunny the size of a human head that appeared to be made of metal.

As she picked it up, the sound of coins clinking could be heard. She approached Xu Musen and lifted it to show him.

"This is…"

An Nuannuan then pulled out the small stopper from underneath the bunny's bottom, and a bunch of coins and banknotes poured out.

"This is the money I saved from selling flowers. I always felt you were short of cash, but I knew you wouldn't accept money given directly, so I saved this money to give you later. But it seems you don't need it now."

An Nuannuan looked at these coins; actually, when added up, it wasn't much money, and Xu Musen certainly didn't need such a small amount now.

Xu Musen watched the scattered coins, big and small, as well as some crumpled banknotes.

Each piece of money had been saved by An Nuannuan as she sold flowers one by one in her wheelchair.

She knew Xu Musen wouldn't accept money given directly, so she saved the money from selling flowers so she could give it to him later with a good reason, also considering Xu Musen's pride.

Xu Musen felt a sourness in his heart. He silently put the coins back in and looked at the bunny-shaped piggy bank and the girl before him.

Perhaps, during his high school days,

when he loved without reciprocation,

there was a girl in the corner, silently watching him, gathering up his scattered sincere feelings.

"I need it; I've always needed it…"

Xu Musen whispered to himself, looking at An Nuannuan's pretty face so close to him, and he extended his hand to gently pinch her cheek.

"Nuannuan, thank you for letting me know that these years haven't been a complete failure for me."

Xu Musen smiled, yet his heart overflowed with a myriad of unspoken words, which ultimately turned into him slowly opening his arms: "Nuannuan, may I hug you?"

An Nuannuan lifted her gaze to Xu Musen's broad chest, her cheeks flushed, and she gently opened her arms, slowly pressing against his chest.

It was their first hug, a promise to be the best friends to each other, with no romantic implications.

This hug was like crossing time and space, fulfilling the embrace that wasn't realized six years prior.

This hug, Xu Musen could no longer claim had nothing to do with feelings.
