Chapter 151: Chapter 108 Yao Mingyue: That kind of thing, I only let you see it. _2
Yao Mingyue has never cared about others' stares since she was young, but Xu Musen, this upright character, does care about his face!
"Answer me one question, and I'll let you go." But Yao Mingyue tightened her grip on him even more.
"Speak." Xu Musen dared not make any big movements and could only endure.
The light flickered in Yao Mingyue's eyes as she began, "You said on the phone earlier that up until today, I'm the only one who's been to your bed. So does that mean... she came to your dorm room to see you today?"
Her sensitivity to catching cheating was always at its highest.
Xu Musen looked at her jealous expression and remembered the scenes from their last life where she dominated him.
"The mung bean soup she brought over wasn't as twisted as you." Xu Musen said mercilessly. Enjoy exclusive content from m-v l'-NovelFire
"Mung bean soup?"
Frowning, Yao Mingyue looked at Xu Musen's smug face, biting her teeth, "Is my Huoxiang Zhengqi water not as tasty as hers?"
"Honestly, you're not as sweet as her."
Xu Musen spoke indifferently.
In fact, Yao Mingyue and An Nuannuan were really like the Huoxiang Zhengqi water and mung bean soup.
Huoxiang Zhengqi water worked fastest and was most effective at relieving summer heat, but that bitter taste was really not something ordinary people could withstand.
And mung bean soup, although not very medicinal, was very tasty, sweetly nourishing the body little by little.
"You!"
Yao Mingyue's chest heaved with anger, her grip on Xu Musen's hand tight, "So I ask you! If today both she and I got heatstroke, and you only had one bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water, who would you choose to give it to?"
What is this classic dilemma, like the one about choosing between your mother and me if we fell into a river?
Xu Musen looked at the scabbing wounds on her arm and after a second's silence, began.
"Then let me ask you a question, if your mom and I both fell into a river at the same time, who would you save first?"
"I… I asked you first!"
"If you won't answer me, I won't answer either."
Playing hardball is not unique; the master uses the enemy's own tactics to outdo them.
The glint in Yao Mingyue's phoenix eyes flashed as she said, "Then I would save you first."
Xu Musen was stunned for a moment. You're actually making a choice, filial piety will be the death of me.
"Because my mom can swim, ah! When we were kids, it was my mom who taught us how to swim!" Yao Mingyue lifted her pretty face, a look of triumph on her face.
Xu Musen remembered as a child, he used to go swimming in Yao Mingyue's family's private pool all the time.
But whenever he saw Aunt Liu in a swimsuit, he felt a bit embarrassed.
As a result, he didn't learn to swim as well as Yao Mingyue did.
"Now, it's your turn to answer!"
Yao Mingyue pressed him step by step.
Xu Musen looked at her, no matter what this dutiful daughter was thinking, she truly loved him without limits.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Musen looked at her, "Then I would give it to you first too."
Yao Mingyue's cool and pretty face brightened instantly, clouds parting for the sun.
Hmph, childhood sweethearts will always be childhood sweethearts, after all.
"That's more like it…"
"Because An Nuannuan won't participate in military training, she won't get heatstroke in the first place."
Xu Musen used her own tactic to block her.
The smile on Yao Mingyue's face froze for a moment, "I said hypothetically!"
"Then I'd go and cook her mung bean soup."
Xu Musen said casually.
Yao Mingyue's chest heaved violently with anger. How dare you cook mung bean soup for another girl?
Then next time you might as well serve me arsenic!
Yao Mingyue was really going crazy. She stared at Xu Musen, truly thinking at that moment.
Should she really spill the contents and have them both disgraced, binding them together for good?
As she was thinking this, the words her mother had told her suddenly echoed in her mind.
"You need to progress gradually, to advance by retreating, to flow steadily like a gentle stream..."
She took deep breaths to calm herself.
Thinking of what Xu Musen had just said.
At least he still chose to give the most helpful Huoxiang Zhengqi water to her...
She tried to find a balance for herself, and looking at Xu Musen, a sinister smile reappeared on her face.
Gently moving while holding Xu Musen's hands, she said, "What do you think, if I shake this thing out right now, will you become a hot topic on the school forum?"
Xu Musen's mouth twitched. Other girls might be joking.
But with this yandere, you can never be sure!
Moreover, while Yao Mingyue was talking, her hands really began to slowly loosen their grip on the bag.
At this moment, military training was gradually coming to an end, and some male students happened to pass by.
If this really came to light, her college life would effectively be over, and she might as well consider living on another planet.
But the next moment, Yao Mingyue clenched the bag tightly and stuffed it into her pocket.
She leaned forward slightly, her voice a whisper close to Xu Musen's ear, "Don't worry, I wouldn't let other guys see this kind of stuff. I'll just keep it for you."
The faint scent of a girl fresh out of a bath filled his senses; her tone was commanding yet filled with partiality.
It was like something straight out of a domineering CEO drama.
Before Xu Musen could react, Yao Mingyue smiled and said, "See you next time."
After that, she moved her long legs and entered the girls' dormitory, waving at him before cheerfully bounding up the stairs.
Xu Musen was left standing there in a daze for a while, watching Yao Mingyue's receding figure.
He steadied his heart.
The bowl of "soft rice" was sweet, but the price was too steep.
...
Nighttime.
Xu Musen took An Nuannuan to a restaurant for some rotating hotpot.
Of course, they were there on official business.
Xu Musen leaned in to chat with the owner.
"You actually made it happen?"
The owner was somewhat surprised, as he originally thought it was just some young man talking big.
But seeing the app interface on Xu Musen's mobile phone, he started to get interested.
"Of course, it's all about keeping one's word. We've got the school's approval for our entrepreneurship project, and we're currently in the trial operation stage. What do you say to no commission fees for the first week if you sign up now, boss?"
"For free?"
The owner perked up at the mention of free, and seeing that they had the school's approval, he knew they wouldn't just abscond.
Besides, even if the monk runs away, the temple won't.
This made them feel much more at ease.
"Free. Right now we are losing money to make noise. Plus, you are the first merchant to support me. I wouldn't be stingy. Think about it, boss?" said Xu Musen with a smile.
"Look at you, young man, you do have a way with words. Alright, show me how to register," replied the owner, eager to follow the process and register.
Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong were also making their rounds in three different restaurants to negotiate deals with merchants.
Armed with the promise of no commission fees for the first week, they managed to gradually convince quite a few businesses to give it a try.
Of course, after dealing with the merchants, they had to recruit delivery staff.
Xu Musen had already started posting job recruitment notices on campus forums and various part-time job search groups.
In the past few days, there was already a steady stream of people getting in touch.
However, the problem was that there were plenty of male part-timers, but recruiting females was difficult.
There was a high demand for delivery in the female dormitories during summer, but the dormitory supervisor Aunt Liu would not let any boy go upstairs.
And typically, girls would not apply for a job that required running up and down all day and involved physical strength.
Increasing the wage might lead to complaints from the male staff.
It was a tough situation.
"Xu Musen, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing important."
"Tell me, maybe I can help," An Nuannuan really hoped she could be of assistance.
"This is something you really can't help with..."
Xu Musen chuckled and shook his head, looking at An Nuannuan still sitting in a wheelchair, nearly losing half her life just climbing one floor, not to mention going up and down every day.
If her grandparents found out, Xu Musen genuinely feared being tied up and thrown into a lake.
Unless someone came along to specifically take charge of the female side of the business and take the fall for him.
As Xu Musen was pondering, a soft voice came through.
"The shrimp paste you ordered."
Zhao Lianmai placed a plate of shrimp paste in front of An Nuannuan.
Xu Musen looked at her, her skin a healthy tan. Even with military training, she still had the energy to work part-time.
Her long legs clearly showed signs of frequent exercise, brimming with vitality.
His eyes brightened, and he grinned.
"Zhao, are you interested in a job that pays really well?"
Under the brim of her hat, Zhao Lianmai's eyes flickered, suddenly wary of a potential scoundrel.
Had he finally set his sights on her?
