The girl’s bright, sparkling eyes stared back at him, and under such a gaze, he couldn’t help but feel anxious and guilty.
Would his girl forgive him? Back then, he deeply felt the hurt he had caused her, even making her fearful of romantic matters.
After a mont, An Ran finally snapped out of it.
"Wait, wait, let process this," An Ran sat up straight, lowered her head and rubbed her forehead, "Are you saying that back then... it was you? And you’ve always known it was ?"
An Ran pointed to her own nose as she asked.
"I’m sorry, Ranran. I originally planned to find you imdiately, but Linjiang was hit by severe flooding. Orders co first, I had to go to the front lines for flood relief. I planned to co back for you afterward, but I almost didn’t make it back, and then you saved ." Mu Xingfeng, looking like a guilty little husband, held An Ran’s small hand as he spoke.
"So... Instructor Mu, you’re good to and want to marry because you feel responsible for , right?"
An Ran asked, sowhat disappointed.
If that were the case, she would rather not have this affection. She didn’t want a relationship built on guilt, and she didn’t want to bind Instructor Mu with such feelings. She had saved him, but hadn’t he saved her even more?
"At first, I thought that way. But when I was in despair in the water, I changed my mind. When you saved the second ti, I realized it wasn’t just responsibility; my heart was lost too."
Mu Xingfeng looked at her seriously as he spoke.
"You’re lying. It was so dark then, we were in the car, I didn’t even see your face clearly. How could you have changed your mind just because of the water incident?" An Ran obviously didn’t believe his explanation.
"Do you want the truth?" Mu Xingfeng suddenly hugged her.
An Ran nodded. She really wanted to understand what this affection was all about. She knew she had completely fallen for Mu Xingfeng, but didn’t want it to be out of his guilt that he was with her.
"Because of a feeling."
It was a connection of souls. One could say that from that mont, deep down, he had decided she was the one.
"You..." An Ran didn’t know what to say. Her little face turned as red as an apple, and she glared at Mu Xingfeng angrily.
Mu Xingfeng loved her little expressions to death. Seeing her like this, he also knew that his little girl wasn’t mad at him.
An Ran, still upset, pushed him, but he didn’t budge.
Finally, she bit him hard.
"Ouch—"
Mu Xingfeng looked at the girl in his arms with a grievance. It seed like this was the first ti his little girl had bitten him, even when their feelings weren’t clear before, she never bit him.
"Honey~~"
Mu Xingfeng called out pitifully.
...
He discovered that after they cleared things up, his little girl seed like a different person. She no longer acted timid and cautious around him. This An Ran was as dazzling as the spring sun, making her even more irresistible to him.
Perhaps it was because she was free of worries, or perhaps it was because she was back in his warm and familiar embrace, An Ran slept exceptionally well that night.
When she opened her eyes, Mu Xingfeng was no longer by her side. An Ran thought he might have had sothing to do and left early, so she got up to wash.
While brushing her teeth, she heard a noise outside the door. A mont later, Mu Xingfeng ca in with breakfast.
Seeing that An Ran was already up, he called out, "Honey, hurry up and wash up, co have breakfast."
Listening to him call her "honey" so fluently actually left An Ran speechless. How lacking in a wife was he?
She really doubted that before she t Mu Xingfeng, he was truly disinterested in won as his sister had said, even avoiding Lin Ruonan who had pursued him for twenty years.
Now with his flirtatious attitude, if she didn’t rember their past clearly, she would have doubted if he had exchanged his inner self.
The breakfast was her favorite soup dumplings and millet porridge, along with two tea eggs.
Mu Xingfeng, aside from his preference for strong flavors, wasn’t picky about food. Whenever he bought breakfast, he always followed An Ran’s tastes.
An Ran couldn’t finish two eggs, so after eating one, she wrapped the other and put it into Mu Xingfeng’s bowl across from her.
Such a seemingly casual gesture ward Mu Xingfeng’s heart.
"Honey, in two days I’ll be rejoining the team. After that, I’ll only be able to co here on weekends. When I return to the team, you should go back to the dormitory," Mu Xingfeng said while eating.
An Ran nodded. She hadn’t planned on moving out anyway. She knew Mu Xingfeng wouldn’t always be able to stay here, and with Xiao Xiao at school, she couldn’t bear to leave her best friend.
