Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Familiar Recipe, Familiar Taste

“My hometown, is located in that village…”

Jiang Xu was humming a cheery tune on the way home.

He was feeling incredibly happy.

His mouth tasted as if he had eaten candy, pure sweetness.

He’d said many things to An Nuonuo, but she refused to agree with any of them.

Finally, Jiang Xu braced himself, bolstering his courage, and just…

Don’t ask, really don’t.

Sometimes words are useless, you need to take practical action.

Jiang Xu’s touch was soft… moist…

Then, the young lass ran away.

She had walked here today.

He followed behind her to prevent any accidents, ensuring she returned home safely before he left.

Now, Jiang Xu finally understood.

Why do people say, when you’re with the one you love, even the air tastes sweet?

Now he was feeling something similar.

Any dog that passed by would receive a ham sausage from him.

Just his way of sharing his joy with the people.

When he got home, Jiang Xu was still grinning like a fool.

He had initially planned to brush his teeth.

But on second thought, he decided against it.

Today was a special day, no need to brush teeth.

After thinking, he posted a Weibo.

Today, I kissed the girl I like.

The process was a bit awkward, but the result was good.

I will remember this day forever.

Click to send.

After that, Jiang Xu turned off the light and rested.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

As soon as An Nuonuo returned home, she hurried to wash her face.

Despite this, her cheeks were still blushing red.

A touch on her cheek sent a hot shiver down her spine.

Looking at herself in the mirror, An Nuonuo gently bit her pink lips.

Even now, her mind was a mess.

She had complex feelings.

She wasn’t unhappy, mainly shy, and somewhat taken by surprise.

Especially now, the scenes from earlier were still playing out in her mind.

Thinking about that made it impossible for her to calm herself down.

“Huff, huff, huff…”

After taking a dozen deep breaths, An Nuonuo finally calmed down a bit.

She picked up the toothbrush, ready to brush her teeth.

But when she put the toothbrush to her lips, she paused.

In the end, she gave up the habit that she’d cultivated since she was little to brush her teeth every night.

Coming out of the bathroom, she looked at her big but empty house.

An Nuonuo sighed silently.

She returned to her bedroom.

It was bedtime, but she didn’t feel sleepy at all.

Almost instinctively, she opened Weibo.

Then she saw the post by Jiang Xu from about 10 minutes ago.

Immediately, a sweet smile bloomed on her face.

The sweetness of this smile could produce a ton of cola.

She took out her mobile phone, ready to call Jiang Xu.

After thinking about it, she gave up.

A few minutes later, An Nuonuo put on her QQ, and left home.

Her home was too quiet right now, she didn’t want to be here alone.

She went to their secret base.

An Nuonuo parked her car.

Seeing that all the lights on the ground floor were off, she guessed that Jiang Xu should be sleeping.

So she opened the door very gently.

“Huh?!”

Jiang Xu, who had just laid down not long ago, had not yet fallen asleep, was in a dazed state.

He heard a faint noise from outside.

Instantly, he was wide awake.

He got out of bed and stealthily made his way out.

In the living room, he saw a dark figure.

Jiang Xu was angry.

Damn it, a thief had the guts to break into his house! That was too audacious.

He clenched his fists and charged ahead, screaming in an attempt to intimidate the intruder, “Hey, you! Eat my Six-Path Reincarnation Fist…huh?!

Shit, it’s Nuonuo!”

Just when Jiang Xu’s massive fist was about to land on the ‘thief’.

Jiang Xu suddenly smelled the scent that was distinctly An Nuonuo’s.

Having been around her constantly, Jiang Xu was familiar with her scent.

In the nick of time, he changed his trajectory with all his might.

However, because he had initially charged with full force, he was unable to completely halt his momentum.

All Jiang Xu could do now was pull An Nuonuo along as he fell.

Luckily, An Nuonuo was standing right next to the couch.

They landed awkwardly on the couch.

However, it was a bit awkward as their bodies were uncomfortably entangled.

A small lock of hair was spread across Jiang Xu’s face.

The clean, fresh smell of her shampoo wafted into his nostrils.

Jiang Xu’s heartstrings were plucked, causing ripples of emotion.

In the darkness, Jiang Xu saw the bright excitement and shyness in the girl’s eyes.

He subconsciously tried to stand up.

Jiang Xu held her shoulders, stopping her from getting up, and said somewhat helplessly, “What are you doing? You should have told me you were coming, and for goodness’ sake, turn on the lights.

Thank god I held back in time, otherwise, you would be missing a few teeth right about now.”

“I… I saw the lights off and didn’t want to disturb your rest”, An Nuonuo said weakly, “Can you let me up now?”

“So that’s why,” Jiang Xu realized.

Then he seriously said, “Do you realize how dangerous it is to do things like this? You mustn’t do it again, got it?”

An Nuonuo nodded, “I got it… can… can you let go of me now?”

In the darkness, her face turned a deep shade of crimson again.

Her body was hot to the touch, like a heater.

Jiang Xu ignored her request.

Instead, he asked, “Are you hurt? Do you have any pain anywhere?”

The girl stayed silent.

This situation felt eerily familiar.

She had a feeling of déjà vu.

She suddenly recalled the time when she got her period and Jiang Xu had brought her a durian, it was the same ploy.

An Nuonuo decided she wouldn’t fall for the same trick twice.

She ominously warned, “If you don’t let go of me now, your aunt might hit you tomorrow.”

The saying goes, fortune favors the bold.

Yet in this situation, even being Lord Chen Yue wouldn’t help much.

Another saying goes, there’s no profit without risk…

So, Jiang Xu came up with another plan.

Suddenly, he grimaced in pain, “Ah, it hurts! I think I twisted my waist when I tried to avoid hitting you.

Don’t move now! If you do, I’ll be in pain. Let me get my bearings.”

“Ah, really… really?” The girl instantly panicked, “What should I … What should I do now?”

Jiang Xu hehe chuckled in his heart.

To himself, he said, I’m not trying to trick you.

I’m doing this to bring you happiness.”

Thinking this way, Jiang Xu immediately felt he was incredibly noble.

He was delighted, but he kept a painful expression on his face.

He winced, drawing a sharp breath from time to time, “Don’t move… let me rest. It seems like a strain.

Should be better in a while, but you mustn’t move.”

“Okay, I got it.”

The girl looked worried. She maintained her balance with great effort, ensuring that Jiang Xu would not suffer a ‘second injury’.

The room was suddenly very quiet.

Jiang Xu was completely encompassed by An Nuonuo’s fragrance.

In this special moment, his heart was incomparably calm.

Quietly enjoying the beautiful youth.
