Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Yao Mingyue's Broken Defense
An Nuannuan always managed to make serious-faced remarks that would break people's defenses.
Especially for someone as arrogantly proud as Yao Mingyue.
When it came to their figures, girls were no less competitive than boys in their obsession with height and build.
Yao Mingyue had never been bested by anyone in her life, until she met An Nuannuan.
It wasn't until she learned An Nuannuan's name that she realized this was the girl who always scored a few points higher than her on every test.
And now, she was even getting so close to Xu Musen.
Yao Mingyue's gaze turned icy as she glanced at An Nuannuan's chest.
Then, she looked at Xu Musen with a fake smile, "Being too skinny isn't good either, maybe some people just have a bigger appetite."
Xu Musen pretended he didn't hear a thing.
An Nuannuan blinked.
"But, kind sister, surely you don't feel your shoulders getting sore every day, I'm so envious of how easy it is for you."
There was genuine envy in An Nuannuan's words, and she even moved her shoulders around, making her cup of milk tea tremble, yet it was firmly wedged in place.
"..."
Yao Mingyue felt like she was suffocating.
She was definitely doing this on purpose! How was this statement any different from telling a boy, "I really envy you, finishing in just a few seconds and not getting tired at all."?
Xu Musen held back his laughter, remembering how he too was rendered speechless by her sincere comments when they first met.
The more you try to be cunning, the more you end up hurting yourself.
Yao Mingyue took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Looking down at her long, slender, perfectly proportioned legs under her trench coat, it seemed she had regained some of her confidence.
"It's okay, I can teach you how to play volleyball later when you're better. A little exercise can still help maintain your figure," she said.
As Yao Mingyue spoke, she gently crossed her legs, showing off a sliver of her pale and tender thighs to Xu Musen and An Nuannuan.
Even in a trench coat, her pert buttocks still curved into a perfect arc.
These were advantages that the little girl didn't have.
Xu Musen took a bite of his fried egg. Well, having tasted it too many times, he had become somewhat numb to it.
But his glance once again made him feel a bit hot under the collar.

Right, after all, he was still an eighteen-year-old young man full of vigor.
Xu Musen took a leisurely breath.
He himself was a gentleman, but his body had its own thoughts.
An Nuannuan looked at Yao Mingyue's long legs, truly envious.
Such long legs must feel like they're cutting through the wind when walking.
"Mhm mhm, Xu Musen massages my legs every day, I'll recover very quickly," she nodded energetically, full of anticipation.
"Smack..."
As her words fell, there came a smack.
The spoon slipped from Yao Mingyue's hand, splashing up a layer of hot soup and staining her freshly changed clothes with spots of grease.
Even her cheeks were dotted with a few drops of red oil, making Yao Mingyue look particularly wicked at that moment, like a morbid vampire on the brink, her phoenix eyes almost unable to restrain the emotions within.
She looked up at Xu Musen.
Xu Musen knew this was the precursor to her breakdown; indeed, the fire had landed on him.
He Qiang silently slurped up his noodles.
Just as expected, there was going to be bloodshed.
It's good that a brother knows his place. Women are too frightening; fishing is much more soothing.
"Helping each other among classmates... that's right, it's very normal," Xu Musen put down his chopsticks, speaking earnestly.
But Yao Mingyue just laughed a hollow laugh, resembling a doll that lost its feelings.
Just days ago, her ankle was sprained, and he had been reluctant even to help her up.
And now, you turn right around and massage the legs of a girl you've only known for a few days?
Let alone her chest!
Are her legs as pretty as mine? Do they feel as nice as mine!!
Stupid, ungrateful dog of a man!
"Friends, helping out?" Yao Mingyue stared at him, her hand resting on the edge of the bowl, as if the hot broth would pour over their heads if he said one wrong word.
Xu Musen was genuinely worried that the morbid girl might take such an action if pushed too far.
"Of course, if you or He Qiang ran into trouble, I would definitely help too," Xu Musen said with sincerity, deliberately including He Qiang.
While painting the pie in the sky, she also maintained a stretchable distance.
He Qiang silently picked up his bowl and moved to a farther table.
Yao Mingyue fell silent for quite a while, her gaze shifting back and forth between Xu Musen and An Nuannuan, finally revealing a smile again.
"Alright, I'll remember what you said."
After speaking, she stood up and asked the owner to pack another portion for her, her voice calm, "I'm going back to find Auntie. You guys take your time."
After speaking, she narrowed her eyes for a glance at Xu Musen, then turned around and left.
She walked away for quite some time.
It was only then that An Nuannuan blinked, "Sister Good Person's look just now was really pitiful."
"Pitiful?"
Xu Musen felt that her look just before was more like she wanted to eat someone.
"Yes, it just felt like Sister Good Person was... as if someone had taken her favorite food to eat."
An Nuannuan looked at the sausage and fried eggs in her bowl, then lifted her head and said, "Is it because she didn't get to eat the sausage and fried eggs?"
Xu Musen shook his head.
What she wanted to eat was not the sausage fried eggs, but him...
"Should I invite Sister Good Person to eat these?" An Nuannuan seemed to have made a big decision, but she didn't want people around Xu Musen to be unhappy.
"No need, you eat it. I will invite her to have sausage and fried eggs another time."
"Oh."
As the three of them were eating, the owner suddenly came over, indeed recognizing Xu Musen, "Aren't you from that florist's family?"
"Is there something?" Xu Musen asked with a smile, already guessing what the matter was.
"Ah, it really is you..."
The owner suddenly acted as if he had discovered a treasure, indeed he was there for the advertising.
At that time, the Luosi rice noodle hadn't become viral on the internet yet. As an exotic cuisine with an unusual flavor, in Zheng City, many people hadn't even heard of it, so it badly needed brand awareness.
Xu Musen didn't beat around the bush and still offered to take photos for free.
And his gaze fell on An Nuannuan.
Yao Mingyue was unbeatable as a clothing model.
But when it came to foodies who ate earnestly, An Nuannuan was just perfect!
Her earnest eating manner, unconcerned with her image, was adorable, and it made one's appetite surge just watching her.
"Nuannuan, can I discuss something with you?"
"What is it?"
"I'll treat you to food in exchange for you helping me to shoot some simple action videos. How about that?"
An Nuannuan didn't understand what he meant, but at the mention of good food, her eyes immediately sparkled and she nodded energetically.
Just like that, the second little model was also coaxed into agreement.
That afternoon, An Nuannuan ate very happily, shooting in three or four different food shops.
Her little belly was finally satisfied, and she saw the sunset appearing.
An Nuannuan still held the uneaten teppanyaki squid and sugar-coated haws, happily patting her little belly.
"Xu Musen."
"Hmm?"
"Thank you for treating me to so much delicious food, my tummy is all full, and it's all thanks to you."
"..."
Xu Musen coughed twice, thankful that there was no one else nearby, otherwise he would lose face completely.
"The materials are sorted, take a look." He Qiang came over with the camera.
Xu Musen took a look, one was Yao Mingyue's and the rest were An Nuannuan's.
An Nuannuan's way of eating was indeed very appetizing; even if one didn't see her face, just a side profile or a back view was enough to make the food seem delicious.
Moreover, looking at An Nuannuan's dumbfounded cute face, Xu Musen suddenly had an idea.
"Qiang Zi, when sorting out the materials later, just use Nuannuan's back view or long shots, send the ones with her face directly to me."
He Qiang looked up at his good buddy and stroked his chin, "You little rascal... you just want to have her to yourself, huh?"
"Once it's a success, the fishing rod is yours."
"Deal!"
Oh, and He Qiang whispered again, "What about Yao Mingyue's?"
Xu Musen watched Yao Mingyue wearing that outfit, and many memories flashed through his mind.
Xu Musen pondered briefly.
"The same."
"Hehe..."
