Chapter 151: My mother indeed lacks a daughter-in-law. _2
But who is Yao Mingyue? A delicate darling, for her even losing a husband, she wouldn't need a face, right?
"So now she can only be considered a foster sister."
Yao Mingyue's smile lingered as she winked gently at Xu Musen.
Whether it's a noun or a verb, let's not study it for now.
Xu Musen looked down at the speedometer. Isn't this only less than eighty? Why does it feel like the car is about to take off?
Passing by a service area, they stopped to use the restroom.
When she came back, Yao Mingyue held a few grilled sausages and sweet corn in her hand.
Considered a specialty of the service area, I guess.
"Want some?" Yao Mingyue offered them to Xu Musen.
"Let's get to the mountain first, it'll be hard to book a room in a bit."
Two days before the National Day, tourists were already abounding, and if they went later, it would probably be tough to book a room.
Xu Musen drove the car and continued forward.
"Then I'll feed you, okay? Just one bite, just one."
Yao Mingyue held a grilled sausage to Xu Musen's mouth and gently touched his lips with it.
Xu's father and mother showed amused smiles from the backseat and began to pretend to doze off in their seats.
Xu Musen was speechless. The sausage was swinging back and forth in front of his mouth, and there was Yao Mingyue's tone.
Why does it feel increasingly off?
Isn't this the kind of thing boys use to coax little girls?
Xu Musen, with no other choice, opened his mouth and took a big bite: "Satisfied now?"
"It's mainly because I'm worried you'll get hungry while driving, I'm so considerate."
Seeing his helpless but accepting expression, Yao Mingyue was extremely pleased.
Say peel, and she naturally put the half-bitten sausage from Xu Musen's mouth into her own and took a bite.
Xu's father and mother had been squinting their eyes, but exchanged glances quietly after seeing this.
They remembered that Xu Musen always said he and Yao Mingyue didn't get along, claiming they had no relationship whatsoever now.
Looking at their behavior today, that's not something ordinary childhood friends would do, right?
And he says they don't get along?
He's really stubborn!
...
After an hour's drive on the mountain road, they finally saw the sign for Old Jun Mountain.
The sky was gradually darkening.
Climbing up would take over four hours, although they could also take the cable car.
People usually set out at two or three in the morning, so by the time they reached the peak, it would just be time for sunrise.
They found a homestay hotel.
As expected, most rooms were already rented out.
"There's only one suite left, with two bedrooms," said the hotel front desk while pointing at the layout drawing of the last room.
During the peak tourist season, if they had been any later, they probably wouldn't have had a single room available.
Xu's father and mother thought about it. When they went on trips before, two rooms were enough for both families.
But now the kids have grown up, and staying in the same room as their parents would be uncomfortable.
"We'll take this one."
Xu Musen, however, simply nodded and began to pay the deposit.
At that, Yao Mingyue subtly turned to look at him.
Her face blushed slightly.
Xu's mother and father clicked their tongues.
Although they had thought about matchmaking the two kids, such a thing was still not permissible.
They couldn't wrong Liu Rushuang and old Yao.
But Xu Musen spoke again,
"Could you prepare an extra quilt for me? I'll sleep in the living room."
It was October, and the weather was just right; sleeping in the living room wouldn't risk catching a cold, and there was a sofa, good enough to make do for a while.
"Uh... okay."
The young lady at the front desk was taken aback; this was the first time she had seen a girl not refuse a boy's offer to sleep on the sofa.
Yao Mingyue's gaze carried a hint of resentment.
She then went into the room first.
The suite indeed had only two bedrooms, but there was a tatami in the living room that, with a quilt laid out, could fit several more people to sleep.
This was considered for the many families that came up the mountain to stay.
Xu's father and mother went to one of the rooms to arrange their things.
Yao Mingyue stood at the door, watching Xu Musen, who was sitting in the living room, and pursed her lips.
"Hey."
Xu Musen turned to look at her.
"You're really planning on sleeping on the sofa?"
"Otherwise you want to?"
"Pfft."
Yao Mingyue leaned against the doorway, eyeing Xu Musen's unyielding demeanor, but she chuckled lightly: "Actually, the beds here in the hotel are quite big. If you beg me, I might let you stay in there too."
Yao Mingyue's eyes flashed slightly, her allure seeming especially tempting and natural.
Honestly, for an eighteen-year-old, full-of-vigor young man, this was indeed a bit hard to resist.
"I beg you to just behave yourself."
Xu Musen gave her a look of exasperation.
"We've slept together as kids, what's there to fear?"
"You do realize we were kids back then?"
"So, you think you're all grown up now?" Yao Mingyue's gaze roamed up and down his body, carrying a challenging air.
She even stretched out her hand and gave a rub, making a gesture of losing the Korean market.
"Yao Mingyue, you're really starving now."
Xu Musen retorted, feeling a sudden respect for her in his heart.
She had been a sickly beauty always coveting his body, yet she managed to hold back until after they were married to reveal her true nature.
Recalling the first couple years of marriage, Xu Musen felt a shiver run through his body.
"It's you who's feeling guilty, isn't it, worried you can't control yourself? But I can't blame you for having a little crush since I'm so good-looking; I can understand."
Yao Mingyue stretched languidly, her lithe and curvaceous body alluring and fully displayed.
Xu Musen glanced at her and said: "You're like the White Snake after she's had realgar wine."
"You!"
Yao Mingyue couldn't hold back anymore, was this guy determined to be a straight man to the death?
"Giving you a bed and you choose to sleep on the sofa, may you suffer from a stiff neck in the middle of the night!"
