I am reborn and refuse to be a sickly rich woman

Chapter 371 A date with childhood sweethearts.

It is snowing lightly.

The house was warm, and Yao Mingyue ate half a bowl of tomato and egg noodles. It was so hot that a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

The whole person finally looks more healthy.

Xu Musen ate the remaining half bowl as well.

Yao Mingyue was standing by, looking at Xu Musen with a pair of almond-shaped eyes open and some joy.

"Hehe, does it taste better with this beautiful lady's saliva?"

Eating from the same bowl together requires a very close relationship.

But for both of them, this is just an ordinary daily routine that has lasted for nearly twenty years.

Xu Musen glanced at her and slurped the last noodle in his mouth: "Why didn't you tell me about the time you snatched a lollipop from my mouth when we were kids?"

I remember when I was a kid, I ate those lollipops that cost one cent each. They were wrapped in plastic, so they were not that round. If you were in a hurry, you might stick your tongue out.

Every time Xu Musen made the lollipop round in his mouth, Yao Mingyue would come over with a pitiful look on her face and ask for Xu Musen's already rounded lollipop.

The child didn't dislike it at first, but gradually got used to it.

"I'm telling you to eat less sweets, otherwise you might get cavities!"

When her dark history was exposed, Yao Mingyue felt a little shy but tried to argue unconvinced.

Xu Musen smiled, took out a tissue, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"I don't have any cavities, but I do have a small borer."

"Who are you talking about?"

Yao Mingyue's cheeks were rosy, and now she had the energy to argue with Xu Musen.

"You know it yourself."

Xu Musen smiled and went to clean up the dishes. There was still a bowl of rice in the pot, which he left for Liu Rushuang to eat later.

She has a worrying personality and she won't be able to eat if her daughter doesn't eat well. She will probably sneak back and take a look secretly soon.

Lovely mother and daughter.

"Xu Musen, I want to go out for a walk."

"It's still snowing outside. Aren't you most afraid of the cold?"

"It's only going to get colder and colder. If I don't go out now, I'll be even more scared later... You don't want to accompany me, haha. Obviously, every year when it snowed, you would accompany me to build snowmen!"

Yao Mingyue lifted the quilt, came behind Xu Musen, reached out and began to twist the tender flesh on his waist.

Xu Musen grabbed her wrist with his backhand; her hand was still a little warm and cool.

If your hands aren't warm, your feet must be even colder.

Xu Musen looked down at her fair little feet, stepping on the soft carpet, just like a snowflake falling on the ground.

Sit back on the bed.

Xu Musen stretched out his hand and gently held up her little feet, which could just be covered by his palm. Yao Mingyue's feet were standard young girl's jade feet.

Soft, delicate, shiny and elastic.

But at this moment, the feet were a little cold. Xu Musen held them gently in his hands, as if he was warming a piece of ice.

The warmth from his palms made Yao Mingyue feel tingling on the soles of her cold feet.

Xu Musen's eyes were gentle but contained some deep thoughts, giving people a particularly serious feeling.

In short, Yao Mingyue was a little confused by his silent performance. She looked at Xu Musen, and in this small room, the two of them seemed to have returned to the time when they had just gotten married in the previous life.

"What are you doing, are you planning on heating up your dessert?"

Yao Mingyue gently hooked her little toes, each one was plump and translucent like a crystal grape, and she slightly raised them and gently probed in front of Xu Musen.

"But I haven't taken a shower today~"

This is their way of flirting as an old couple.

Xu Musen reached out and pinched her little toe which had regained some temperature, flicked it mischievously, and showed a look of disgust.

"I was wondering why it always smells like sour cheese."

"Your feet are sore! Beautiful women's feet are always fragrant!"

Yao Mingyue immediately became unhappy, and she swung her feet and clamped Xu Musen's cheeks.

There is a faint scent of roses, and the cool little feet also have some warmth, like a piece of warm jade.

Xu Musen grabbed her feet, without any of the disgust on his face. Instead, he gently touched her slightly cold instep with his cheek, and then took her shoes and cotton socks.

"Put on your shoes before going out to play."

Yao Mingyue’s legs can now walk slowly on their own, but Xu Musen is really used to taking care of people.

I used to put socks on An Nuannuan, and now I put them on her again.

Thick white cotton socks, a pair of fleece-lined snow boots, and a long down jacket will ensure you stay warm.

"Let's go."

Xu Musen thought about going out for a leisurely walk with her.

But Yao Mingyue shook her head: "I don't want to walk, I want to sit in a wheelchair."

"Haven't you had enough of this wheelchair?"

Xu Musen asked her with a smile. She had a strong temper. She didn't want to sit in a wheelchair for a whole day. She always wanted to run more on her own.

Yao Mingyue looked at Xu Musen and gnashed her little fangs. "Humph, people say that when a blind person regains his sight, the first thing he throws away is his crutches. Some people are like this. When they find a new love, they immediately forget their original wife. Such people should be sent to Kaifeng Prefecture and have their tools chopped off with a dog-head guillotine..."

Xu Musen smiled and tapped her little head: "Nonsense."

"Hmph, I just want to sit in a wheelchair and I want you to push me. Do you have any objection?" Yao Mingyue started her familiar unreasonable mode.

Xu Musen couldn't help but smile. This was just right: "No problem. I'll be your camel Xiangzi today. I'll push you wherever you say to go."

Yao Mingyue then hummed with satisfaction: "I am not a tiger girl, I am very beautiful."

"I think they all have pretty fierce personalities."

"Ok?"

"I mean you have a cheerful and lively personality and are not bound by conventions."

"Humph~"

Xu Musen brought a wheelchair and pushed Yao Mingyue out.

Yao Mingyue was still worried that her mother would not let her go out, so she asked Xu Musen to send a message to ask if her mother was outside, and then the two of them sneaked out first.

Xu Musen smiled and did as he was told and sent the message.

"Mom, Mingyue has just eaten a bowl of tomato and egg noodles. I will take her out for a walk to relieve her mood. Don't worry, there is also a bowl left for you in the room. Remember to eat it."

Liu Rushuang replied quickly: "(crying expression) Xiaosen is so thoughtful. It turns out that Mingyue can only eat more if you cook. Take good care of her mother. I believe in you. Go on the date! ())"

Dating……

Xu Musen looked at these two words and shook his head and chuckled.

Finally, he replied with "OK".

"What did my mother tell you?"

Yao Mingyue stretched her head to look at her cell phone.

Xu Musen raised his phone and said, "Mom told me to hold your hand when I go out, and not to run around when I go out."

"Xu Musen!!"

Yao Mingyue grinned and reached out to snatch his phone, and saw the text message sent by her mother.

"Dating…"

Yao Mingyue's expression instantly turned red, and she looked at Xu Musen: "You... didn't even try to argue with my mom?"

"What's there to quibble about? I'm a scumbag. Isn't it my specialty to date pretty girls I like?"

Xu Musen spoke with a proud look on his face, as if he was a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

Yao Mingyue only heard two words.

Like, beautiful...

An expression of a girl's smugness that she couldn't hide appeared on her cheeks: "Huh~ It turns out some people can say these two words. It was so difficult to get them to say them before."

"I'm being cautious. You have to take responsibility for what you say."

Xu Musen took another white blanket and covered Yao Mingyue's legs, then slowly pushed her downstairs.

There was light snow falling under the office building. The city could never hold much snow, so the two people were not in a hurry.

Walking slowly on the street.

Looking at the shops on both sides, you can see Shanghai Auntie or Shanghai Sister’s milk tea shop on almost every street.

It has gradually begun to dominate the milk tea market among young people.

"Boss Xu's business is really getting bigger and bigger. No wonder he's so arrogant now."

Yao Mingyue looked at the shops one by one, her tone somewhat resentful. After all, the proprietress of each shop was An Nuannuan.

It felt like they were declaring their love territory to the whole world.

It’s really... not so pleasant!
Xu Musen looked at her little expression, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he smiled and said, "I opened the milk tea shop in the beginning because Nuannuan likes to drink milk tea. What about you? Is there anything you like?"

"Me?" Yao Mingyue raised her head, her eyes filled with joy. She looked closely at Xu Musen, but finally gave a sly smile: "Then you can open a dog meat restaurant."

Xu Musen was puzzled.

"I remember you don't eat dog meat?"

"But what should I do if the person I like is a scumbag?" Yao Mingyue looked at Xu Musen's cheek with a smile, without blinking.

"???"

Only then did Xu Musen react.

Yao Mingyue smiled triumphantly, but as soon as she opened her mouth, a cool breeze blew, causing her to cough violently several times.

Xu Musen was about to deal with her but stopped immediately and squatted in front of her: "Are you okay?"

Yao Mingyue wiped the corners of her eyes that were a little red from coughing: "It's okay, cough... maybe it's because I haven't been out for too long, I'm still a little uncomfortable."

Xu Musen looked at her silently, with some memories lingering in his mind.

"I'm really fine. I finally came out to enjoy the snow. Don't ruin the view!"

Yao Mingyue patted him on the shoulder, with an expression that said you are making a fuss, and then snorted: "I want to go somewhere, you know, right?"

Xu Musen looked at her for a long while before nodding and smiling: "I know."

Xu Musen tucked the blanket covering her tighter and pushed her through the streets.

With tacit understanding, the two people came to the river bank.

This is where Yao Mingyue performed “free diving” several times.

In winter, there is no thick ice on the river bank, only a shallow layer of ice on the shore, and it is very quiet here.

There are also few people walking along the river in winter.

There is still a lot of snow on the beach here.

Xu Musen pushed Yao Mingyue and stopped beside a bench.

"Xu Musen, do you know why I came out in a wheelchair?"

Yao Mingyue suddenly asked.

"Why?" Xu Musen lowered his head and asked softly.

“When I was first injured, I always felt like I was trapped in a wheelchair. I couldn’t do anything I wanted to do, and I couldn’t achieve anything I wanted to achieve.

But later I discovered that when I was free, there seemed to be an infinite gap between you and me.

But when I was in a wheelchair and lost my freedom, I found myself closer to you.”

Yao Mingyue looked at Xu Musen and smiled with a sigh: "It was then that I realized why An Nuannuan always looked so confident even though she could only sit in a wheelchair every day. It was because she knew that the wheelchair restricted her, but there would be a boy who would double his efforts to take her to pursue more."

Xu Musen listened silently, looking at the girl's slightly resentful eyes, he smiled and nodded slightly.

Tiny snowflakes were still floating in the sky. Yao Mingyue stretched out her hand, and the snowflakes fell on her hand but began to melt in an instant, leaving no white trace.

"This snow is really something that you can see but you can't keep..."

"When we go home for the New Year, there will be several more heavy snowfalls."

As Xu Musen spoke, he stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes. Before the snowflakes could even land on his hand, they had already been melted by the warmth of his palm.

"The snow here is so stingy, like a scumbag who treats people differently and gives them some extra romance. When the New Year comes, all the snow will fall without reservation."

Yao Mingyue seemed to be complaining and hinting at something, but finally shook her head and smiled: "But I am the same, if the snow is light, I will not be satisfied, and if the snow is heavy, my body cannot bear it... Maybe now is just right.

I've been here, and I don't feel sorry if it melts away."

She raised her head and looked at Xu Musen, who was also looking at her, in a joking tone.

It's unclear whether this statement was directed at Xue or herself.

Xu Musen's lips trembled slightly. He looked at Yao Mingyue who was joking at the moment, and he felt a lump in his heart.

"wait for me."

Xu Musen walked over and rubbed the snow together from the railing. Although the snow was thin and easy to melt, a lot of it slowly accumulated in his palms as he walked along the way. Xu Musen walked a long way.

Yao Mingyue knew what he wanted to do. She watched Xu Musen's figure even disappear around the corner, and the corners of her mouth curved up.

"Cough cough..."

She coughed again. The temperature in Shanghai was not too cold, but the cold wind still blew into her lungs, like icy needles, causing her heart to tremble.

Yao Mingyue gently covered her chest and slowly exhaled. She didn't know whether her final choice was right.

But doing nothing was not what she wanted.

There is a one in three chance that you have already lost the bet once in your previous life.

Then this time there is only one half left.

If it still doesn't work, it really only means that even God is not on her side.

All that awaits her is to accept her fate.

In fact, she has always been quite curious.

The only memory of the previous life is the hospital.

But what about after the hospital?

What was the final outcome for her, Xu Musen, and An Nuannuan?

Yao Mingyue looked at the sky full of snowflakes. They were just like her. She would be unwilling if there were too few snowflakes, but she couldn't bear it if there were too many snowflakes.

This was the first time that the girl felt so conflicted. She stared blankly at the river in the distance.

"Why are you dazed?"

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Musen's figure slowly appeared in front of him, with his hands behind his back: "Guess what I prepared for you?"

Yao Mingyue came back to her senses and looked at him in front of her, but she snorted.

"Your marriage certificate with An Nuannuan?"

Xu Musen sneered: "Stretch out your hand."

Yao Mingyue still stretched out her hand, and the next moment, her palm felt warm and a piece of roasted sweet potato appeared in her hand.

"Just... this?"

Yao Mingyue opened her mouth.

"That's not enough. You know how expensive roasted sweet potatoes are now, seven or eight yuan a pound! Digging them out from the fields in our hometown only costs a few cents. Eat them quickly to warm yourself up."

Xu Musen broke the roasted sweet potato into pieces, took a piece for himself, put it in his mouth and chewed it. It was really delicious with the roasted sweet potato oozing with sugar.

Yao Mingyue held the roasted sweet potato. She liked to eat it very much, especially in winter. She used to get out of school with Xu Musen in winter.

He would always save his pocket money to buy her a piece of roasted sweet potato to warm her hands.

It’s just that he just spent a long time rubbing the snow, and ended up going to buy roasted sweet potatoes?

Yao Mingyue pursed her lips, but still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

The next moment, a white and chubby little doll appeared in front of me, or to be more precise, a little snowman.

Xu Musen held a small snowman in his other hand and placed it in her palm.

The snowman is not big, about the size of a palm, but it is very delicately sculpted.

Holding it in her hand now, with the warmth of the roasted sweet potato, she no longer felt cold. It was more like the snowman had its own temperature. Yao Mingyue could finally hold it in her palm and play with it slowly.

"This way, you won't be afraid of the cold anymore."

Xu Musen smiled and spoke.

Yao Mingyue's heart trembled. She held the snowman in her hands, as if she could finally seize some opportunities.

However, the warmth from the sweet potato in the palm of the hand also accelerated the melting of the snowman.

Yao Mingyue pursed her lips gently.

"But the sweet potatoes will eventually get cold, and the snowman will melt even faster..."

Yao Mingyue's hands and voice were trembling slightly.

The next moment, her hands were gently wrapped by Xu Musen.

"The warmth of the sweet potato will fade, and the snowman will melt, but I will always be here."

Xu Musen looked at her and smiled: "Also, what you said just now, is it true that only when you sit in a wheelchair can you feel closer?

In fact, we have never been far away from each other. The wheelchair is just a kind of concreteness between us. In the past, this kind of concreteness could be a lollipop, a piece of baked sweet potato, a bowl of tomato and egg noodles, or a little follower calling me "Brother Musen..."

Every word Xu Musen said made Yao Mingyue's eyes tremble.

“So, we never needed a wheelchair as a witness between us. It’s just like a cooled sweet potato or a melted snowman. It just carries part of our past experiences. But aren’t we always together?

And no matter in the past or in the future, we will always be together. You must face everything with me, okay?"

Xu Musen held her palm, and the snowman melted a little. The snow water made the two people's hands seem to melt together, and the two people looked into each other's eyes.

Yao Mingyue seemed to be able to sense that he was telling her something. They tacitly agreed not to say anything, but they also tacitly made a promise.

Yao Mingyue's heartbeat quickened a few beats, her eyes glistened slightly as she looked at Xu Musen's cheek.

Fine snow fell on the snowman, as if competing to replenish the melted parts.

It was as if the girl's empty and insecure heart was slowly being filled with these words.

"Um……"
