Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Who Goes to Jail If Not Me? (Please follow!)
But the next moment he realized An Nuannuan was still nearby and suddenly coughed, "Ahem, you two order first."
"What would you like to eat?"
Xu Musen asked An Nuannuan.
Ever since he brought her fried chicken and kebabs that time, she had been particularly craving for fried foods.
Right then, a waiter was delivering a meal to the next table, which also held a cute toy doll on the tray.
"They sell toys here too?"
An Nuannuan caught sight of the adorable rabbit doll, her eyes sparkling.
The waiter smiled and replied, "This is a gift that comes with the children's meal for kids."
"So, can we order that too?"
"This... I'm afraid not, it's only available for children under twelve."
The waiter, facing An Nuannuan's dazed and adorable gaze, felt slightly guilty.
"Oh..."
An Nuannuan nodded in disappointment, her look of forlornness instilling a sense of guilt in the waiter.
They ordered two family buckets and other items like drinks and ice cream first.
Although parents call fried chicken and drinks junk food, indulging in them along with soda is truly blissful!
An Nuannuan extended her hand impatiently.
Ever since she started using a wheelchair, her family had been careful about her diet, sticking to carefully balanced meals from a nutritionist.
High-fat, greasy foods had nearly vanished from her life.
That's also why she had been able to maintain her figure despite being in a wheelchair every day.
Those who have dieted know that after days of fat-reduction meals, occasionally splurging on carbs and fried chicken feels even better than getting a foot massage!
"Don't rush, put on the gloves first."
Xu Musen handed her disposable gloves.
"What's this?"
"Disposable gloves, so you won't get your hands all messy."
An Nuannuan seemed to have never used them; she fiddled with the transparent gloves, struggling to open them due to her shortsightedness.
"Let me help you."
Xu Musen, unable to resist smiling at her clumsy efforts, said.
"Stretch out your hands."
"Here~"
An Nuannuan obediently extended her hands, her pale fingers like little white scallions but with a hint of plumpness.
How tempting it was to suck on those fingers...
Xu Musen pushed that thought aside and helped her put the gloves on, feeling the warmth and softness of her fingers through the transparent disposable gloves.
He Qiang, watching from the side, suddenly wondered why the fries in his mouth tasted so sour?
"All set."
An Nuannuan, looking at her hands sheathed in the gloves, found it rather novel and finally got to reach for the fries, eager to pop them into her mouth.
But her flowing long hair was in the way, always entering her mouth before the fries.
"Xu Musen..."
An Nuannuan looked at him with pleading eyes again.
Xu Musen, feeling as if he were taking care of a daughter, could only smile helplessly and asked a passing female waitress for a hair tie.
He then gently gathered An Nuannuan's hair behind her head and expertly tied it up for her.
Having served that sickly delicate girl in his past life for so long, this skill was now second nature to him.
"Sss..."
He Qiang bit into his chicken leg, but when he looked up, his eyes widened in surprise.
Xu Musen also came back to his senses, now observing An Nuannuan with her hair tied back, her full beauty on display.
Even though he had already seen her true face, he couldn't help but feel dazzled. An Nuannuan's features were sweet and gentle, radiating a kind of warmth.
She had a spirited charm, which contrasted with her somewhat bewildered gaze, leaving a lasting impression.
Suddenly, He Qiang understood why his good buddy had stopped pursuing Yao Mingyue.
An Nuannuan's beauty was on par with Yao Mingyue, not the slightest bit inferior!
And she looked like someone easy to sway, maybe by the time Musen tried to woo Yao Mingyue, he could have already coaxed An Nuannuan into having a baby...
As An Nuannuan watched Xu Musen keep looking at her, she was about to put a fry into her mouth, but after thinking it over, she reached out and offered it to Xu Musen instead.
"You eat first."
An Nuannuan believed in repaying kindness.
However, she was a bit nearsighted, and Xu Musen didn't react in time, so the fry brushed against his cheek, smudging ketchup on his face.
Xu Musen didn't mind; seeing her earnestly feed him fries, he suddenly felt that being fed by a beautiful girl wasn't too bad.
He bit into the crispy, tender fry -- pretty good.
It's just that He Qiang's gossipy little eyes made Musen feel a bit embarrassed.
"You eat too."
Xu Musen prepared to grab a tissue to wipe his face.
But An Nuannuan suddenly leaned in closer, reached out, and wiped the ketchup off Xu Musen's cheek with her finger.
Then, without a second thought, she sucked the ketchup off her finger.
What the fuck?
He Qiang was dumbfounded.
Xu Musen was stunned as well.
What's going on? Why did he feel like he'd been heavily flirted with by a clueless beauty?
Shouldn't this be a move the male lead makes in CEO TV dramas?
"Why are you guys staring at me?" An Nuannuan cocked her head.
"You just..."
"When I used to get rice on my face during meals, my grandma would do the same thing, is there something wrong with that?"
An Nuannuan asked seriously.
He Qiang felt her thinking was quite peculiar as he pointed to his dark face, "What if it were me?"
An Nuannuan looked at him for a second and firmly shook her head, "Nope."
He Qiang: ...
Even though he was just joking, that really hurt!
"Because you're not my friend."
An Nuannuan added insult to injury with her casual remark.
He Qiang felt even more injured: "You..."
"Nuannuan, actually we..." Xu Musen was ready to smooth things over.
But An Nuannuan looked up at him, "Didn't we agree, we could only be friends with your consent?"
Xu Musen saw her pure eyes, and in that moment, he felt his heart skip a beat.
Looking at his good buddy, Xu Musen cleared his throat, "Well, a friend's friend is just as much a friend, so you both should just be friends with me, I'll maintain the relationship alone!"
Xu Musen's words were as good as saying nothing.
A stream of curses ran through He Qiang's mind, damn it!
What a fair-weather friend you are!
You owe me a fishing rod!
He Qiang channeled his indignation into power and began to eat voraciously.
"Ouch..."
An Nuannuan had just taken a few bites when she went for a chicken wing. A kid running nearby bumped into her arm, and suddenly a glass of coconut milk spilled.
"Ah... I'm so sorry, sister!" The kid quickly apologized.
The drink had spilled at her feet, luckily not on her clothes, but it did splash onto her lower legs and onto her feet in sandals.
"It's okay," An Nuannuan shook her head at the kid.
Her gaze turned to Xu Musen as she wiggled her foot slightly, "Xu Musen, my feet feel all sticky, and it's not comfortable..."
Xu Musen looked down to see the young girl's fair and delicate feet, now smothered in thick white coconut milk.
Her adorable toes were wiggling, stretching threads of coconut milk...
This, this was just too much.
Seeing An Nuannuan's slightly pouting expression, Xu Musen knew that his opportunity... his time to do a good deed had come!
If not me, who else would go to jail?
"Alright, I'll help you wipe it off."
Xu Musen bent down with a look of reluctance on his face.
