Ji Mushu didn't say anything, but beckoned the waiter over and ordered a large table of dishes.
Then, looking at Yu Mobai, she said, "Let's eat first."
The pot was bubbling and steaming, and the aroma of spicy and savory food wafted through the air.
Yu Mobai pursed his lips, wondering what she was up to, and decided to just eat it without hesitation.
Ji Mushu ate very slowly, her puffed-out cheeks making her look like a little hamster.
When she lowers her head, she has to cover her chest with her hands, for fear of exposing herself.
Yu Mobai shook his head inwardly upon seeing this scene.
We grew up together, so let me see what's wrong with you. You're so petty.
After enjoying her meal to the fullest, Ji Mushu continued eating at a leisurely pace.
Yu Mobai's gaze began to wander around.
It's quite a distance from the school, so he doesn't come here very often.
But it's a hot pot restaurant.
Logically speaking, girls should like to eat these kinds of things, but today, perhaps because of the weather, there weren't many people in the store.
He sighed and turned his gaze to the Red Romantic Foot Massage Parlor across the street.
The pink neon lights and the eye-catching foot massage signs attracted the bewildered students.
These kinds of shops are always very popular, no matter the time of year.
To avoid being investigated, they deliberately kept a distance from the school.
Even so, most of those coming in and out were college students.
Moreover, according to Wei Yufan, the boss was very familiar with the nature of these college students. The service staff inside were all young women, all of whom were good-looking, and there were even college students working part-time there.
The uniform consisted of a white shirt, a black bra, a black pencil skirt, and stockings.
Of course, there are other reasons why business is booming here. Yes, that's right, just like you're thinking.
Just then, the door of the foot massage parlor opened.
Two figures, a man and a woman, walked out and leaned against each other.
The woman, dressed in a white shirt and black mini-skirt, was clearly a staff member. She then quickly disappeared into the small hotel next door.
Yu Mobai pursed his lips. He used to think it was a pity that pretty girls were out doing this kind of work.
Now when I see pretty girls, I feel it would be a shame if they didn't go out and do it.
This might be the growth of that boy.
Why invest your emotions in something you can get with money?
What are you looking at?
Ji Mushu looked at it strangely, "This first snow of the year is falling so heavily."
"Yes, a little."
Yu Mobai pulled his gaze back to Ji Mushu, "So we need to go back early. If you haven't finished eating, hurry up and finish it."
"...."
For a fleeting moment, Ji Mushu had the urge to throw the dipping sauce in his face.
Listen to this, is this what a human being says?
"You've finished eating, go pay the bill," Ji Mushu said coolly, putting down her bowl quickly.
Yu Mobai glanced at her, then walked to the cashier. When he came back, he was carrying a bowl of ginger soup, which he placed in front of Ji Mushu. "Drink it before you leave."
Where did it come from?
"I had the kitchen make it, and it cost me several dollars. You have to pay me back for that."
Ji Mushu felt a little touched. She sipped the ginger soup and felt much more comfortable.
The two tidied themselves up and left the hot pot restaurant.
The warmth of the store vanished in an instant, and the cold air made Ji Mushu sneeze.
"Let's go, hurry back to school, or you'll really catch a cold."
As Yu Mobai was about to hail a taxi at the entrance, he said, "Why don't you go back to the hot pot restaurant and warm up first? I'll get a taxi and then you can come out."
"There are no taxis around today. Don't bother taking one, let's walk back. I have something to tell you."
Ji Mushu gently nudged him.
Yu Mobai didn't say anything, but gestured with his hand, and Ji Mushu obediently put her little hand into his palm.
This was perhaps the quietest time the two of them could spend alone together.
If Yu Mobai still couldn't figure out why Ji Mushu was behaving so strangely tonight, then he was an idiot.
The snowflakes overhead grew larger and larger, quickly covering the two people's footprints.
Ji Mushu raised her eyes, and a snowflake instantly landed on her eyelashes. Soon, it was dampened by the heat and became a water droplet.
She reached out to catch the snowflakes, but they melted quickly after landing on her hand.
"Those who are meant to stay will stay even if you don't ask them to; conversely, those who are not meant to stay will not stay no matter how much you try to persuade them."
Yu Mobai thought of his past life, on a snowy day, walking with Zhang Chuxin on an empty road, making the same confession, but with an exceptionally tragic ending.
Then he suddenly exclaimed, "This is fucking ridiculous!"
However, Ji Mushu didn't interpret those words the same way.
She paused for a moment, then her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Ji Mushu looked at the figure walking ahead, still holding her hand, and immediately let go.
Her eyes were already a little wet, and her steps slowed down.
Ji Mushu felt a tightness in her chest.
"Why have you stopped?"
Yu Mobai stopped and turned his head to see her eyes filled with tears.
"What's wrong with you? You're crying, aren't you ashamed?"
Ji Mushu glanced at her head slightly and said softly, "So, this is your answer to me, is that it?"
When she said those words, tears welled up and streamed down her cheeks, one drop at a time, like beads falling to the ground from a broken string.
"You've never liked me; I was just imagining things."
Under Yu Mobai's astonished gaze, she hastily wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and turned to leave.
The next moment, her arm was grabbed from behind. "What's wrong with you?"
"You should have said so earlier, then I wouldn't have had to wait so long."
With a sob in her voice, Ji Mushu suddenly turned around, "I've been talking to you for so long, and you haven't given me a reply. Is it just to reject me today?"
In an instant, all the pent-up grievances poured out, and she pounded her little pink fists against Yu Mobai's chest again and again.
"If you don't want to be with me, why did you come out to eat with me in the first place?"
"I spent so much time putting on makeup today, and I mustered up all my courage to confess my feelings to you one last time, but it ended before it even began."
"Yu... Mobai, you're not human. You promised my dad you'd take good care of me."
Perhaps feeling unsatisfied, she suddenly pounced on Yu Mobai.
The next moment, Yu Mobai felt a chill on his shoulder as his clothes were ripped open, followed by excruciating pain.
This girl is biting again!
Last time it bit my arm, which was bearable, but this time it bit my neck directly, and it really hurts!
"Wood...comb, can't we talk this out?"
Yu Mobai didn't dare to push her too hard, "It hurts so much, stop it!"
Ji Mushu didn't make a sound. Her tears fell drop by drop onto her shoulder, sliding down her shoulder and into her clothes.
Before long, Yu Mobai felt a cold patch on his chest.
He turned his head and kissed her cheek. "Ji Mushu, if you don't let go, I'll keep kissing you until you do!"
