Chapter 216: Chapter 129: The Encounter Six Years Ago, the Little Boy Who Delivered the Cake. (Two in One!)_4
Stick and spear techniques are from the same family.
An Nannan actually looked quite handsome performing them.
Xu Musen smiled and applauded her, praising her for being very skilled.
This made An Nannan a bit embarrassed, "You, you've practiced for seven or eight years, you could achieve my level of skill with just a couple of tries!"
"Alright, I'll work hard."
Xu Musen smiled and nodded, as the little girl punched into cotton, making no sound as she huffed and puffed.
An Nuannuan came up to Xu Musen after having a shower and changed into a white, cute pajama set; her little face was soft and tender—it made one want to bite it.
"Xu Musen, can you accompany me to my room? I have something I want to show you."
An Nuannuan's pretty face was flushed, her words sounding like they took a great deal of determination to say.
But this behavior...
Xu Musen felt a chill run through his head again.
Behind him, the old man picked up a cleaver and spat on its blade.
"Grandpa, can I go to my room with Xu Musen for a while to chat?"
The moment An Nuannuan spoke, the old man's temper instantly subsided.
"Sure, just remember not to close the door, and if you get thirsty while chatting, let your Aunt Xiang bring you some fruit or tea."
The old man looked into his granddaughter's big eyes and nodded.
"Mhm! Xu Musen, let's go."
An Nuannuan tugged at the corner of Xu Musen's clothing.
Xu Musen nodded, handed the long spear to An Nannan, and even patted her on the head as he did so.
As if to say, are you feeling smug?
An Nannan, biting her tiny white teeth, felt her head was turning green with envy!
AHHH!! That's my sister!
The old and the young exchanged glances, the old man with a cleaver in hand: "I chop!"
An Nannan: "I stab!"
It seemed they both employed a hidden special technique.
Scumbag, meet your doom!
The wooden stake was being ravaged beyond recognition.
Meanwhile, Xu Musen followed An Nuannuan; such a mansion naturally had an elevator.
They went up to the second floor.
They entered a room.
A very spacious room, exquisitely decorated, all in a British vintage style, also filled with many rabbit dolls.
In the middle was a large pink bed.
"Nuannuan's room is indeed very pretty."
Xu Musen didn't look around much, but he saw that the furniture was all solid wood, and all of it together might cost more than a flat in some second-tier cities.
The life of the rich sure is extravagant.
"Sometimes the room is so big that I get scared sleeping alone. My mother used to cuddle with me in bed, but now there's no one to cuddle me to sleep..."
An Nuannuan looked around her room with a somewhat downcast emotion before looking up at Xu Musen again.
Xu Musen really wanted to say something flirtatious, but he simply dared not answer, or else, with a knife and a gun downstairs, he might not leave alive today.
"Nuannuan, didn't you say you wanted to show me something?"
Xu Musen changed the subject.
An Nuannuan nodded, her clear eyes sparkling with a hint of luster.
"Xu Musen, do you remember the question you asked me that night?"
Xu Musen thought back to the night of the military training performance, when he had asked An Nuannuan why she seemed to trust him so much right after they first met.
This trust definitely had a source.
Xu Musen nodded.
An Nuannuan inched closer and began softly, "Xu Musen, do you remember, six years ago during summer vacation, in the hospital in Zheng City..."
Xu Musen felt a jolt in his heart; memories of years past suddenly flooded his mind.
Of course, he couldn't forget that day, that stormy night with lightning and thunder, when their lives had been completely changed.
Xu Musen's pupils dilated as he looked at An Nuannuan's legs... Could it be that the other car involved in the accident that day was hers?
But then he thought again, that didn't seem right; the out-of-control vehicle was a truck, and An Nuannuan's family's status didn't fit with driving such a vehicle.
"Nuannuan, are you talking about the day my family had the car accident?"
"Yes."
"And your leg..."
Xu Musen frowned slightly, and An Nuannuan shook her head: "My legs have nothing to do with that day's events."
"I see."
Xu Musen breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, they were spared those overly dramatic plots; otherwise, he truly wouldn't have been able to handle it.
"So how did you know about what happened to my family that day?"
Xu Musen suddenly realized the timing was when he was in elementary school.
They shouldn't have known each other then.
"Because at that time, I was also undergoing treatment in that hospital, and coincidentally, that was also the day I had surgery on my leg."
An Nuannuan pinched her leg.
Xu Musen was startled. He had indeed visited other wards that day, but there was so much happening that day.
All that was in his mind was ensuring his uncle and father were safe and getting through the difficult night with Yao Mingyue.
As for anyone else, his memory was not very clear anymore.
And that night, that little girl scheduled for surgery...
An image seemed to emerge in Xu Musen's mind, but ultimately, he couldn't recall it.
"Wait here for a moment."
An Nuannuan said and wheeled herself to the desk, opening the bottom drawer.
She carefully took out a tray from inside.
Then she slowly approached Xu Musen.
The tray wasn't exactly fine, rather it was the disposable kind that one might use for cakes, with a small, intricate rabbit figurine on it and a candle that had been lit and burned halfway down.
"This is..."
"Xu Musen, do you remember? Six years ago, on the thunderous night, you brought a crying little girl a piece of cake?"
