Chapter 409: This is a honeymoon for 3 people. (Little 8k asking for subscription!)_3
Yao Mingyue listened carefully to this sentence.
It was a phrase she had heard since childhood.
Whether she was running wildly when she was young.
Or on the way home after school.
Xu Musen would always be next to her, saying to her, "Let's go home together."
At this moment, An Nuannuan stood beside him, with the same warm smile.
"Mm!"
Yao Mingyue reached out her hand. After lying in the hospital for so long, she felt a bit light-headed even while walking. Xu Musen gently supported her arm, and An Nuannuan held her other arm. The three of them slowly walked out of the ward.
Liu Rushuang and Mother Xu watched their backs silently, sharing a smile.
Going home.
...
Afternoon.
The aroma of food wafted through the living room; Mother Xu had prepared many dishes, even more lavish than the New Year's Eve dinner.
Father Xu, Mother Xu, Liu Rushuang, An Shanhai, and An Nannan also came, making it quite lively for a time.
After this meal, they would be heading abroad tomorrow; the hospital and doctors had already been arranged.
The preparation phase for the surgery, the surgery itself, and the postoperative recovery period would also take quite some time.
No one brought up tomorrow's journey during the meal, nor did anyone mention anything about the surgery.
Everyone chatted happily, discussing life in the new year.
But they all knew that after this meal, a decision that could not be altered had to be made.
Dinner ended.
An Shanhai prepared to leave with An Nannan.
Before leaving, he looked at Yao Mingyue and finally came to stand in front of her.
"Uncle An."
Yao Mingyue greeted him proactively.
An Shanhai silently looked at the girl in front of him for a long time. He knew everything that had happened, as well as what might happen in the future.
But looking at the girl in front of him who was deeply afflicted yet still bright-eyed, he seemed to see the former An Nuannuan.
Finally, An Shanhai spoke softly and warmly, "No matter what, Uncle still hopes you can come back healthy. The things of you young people, you have to resolve them yourselves. Everything will be fine, don't make them wait too long."
What he said in the end was a heartfelt blessing.
"Thank you, Uncle. I will definitely come back."
Yao Mingyue nodded earnestly.
An Shanhai also nodded, and left with An Nannan, who, although unaware of the truth, was equally cheering her on.
"Dad, I'll see you off."
An Nuannuan walked over, smiled at Yao Mingyue, and then went out with An Shanhai.
Father Xu and Mother Xu went with Liu Rushuang to arrange things in the room opposite and discuss tomorrow's matters.
Now the living room only had the two of them left.
Xu Musen came to Yao Mingyue, smiling, and gently pinched her cheek. For days, Mother Xu had been thinking of ways to prepare nutritious foods for her.
This made Yao Mingyue, who always had a slender physique, actually have some plumpness on her cheeks.
"Did you pinch the wrong person?"
Yao Mingyue gritted her teeth at him. This guy should be pinching An Nuannuan's kind of baby fat cheeks, right?
Xu Musen laughed and said, "You had quite an appetite today; it's the first time I've seen you eat two bowls of rice."
"Hmph, stingy, feeling sorry for just one bowl of your rice. You'll never be able to manage a household, henpecked husband..."
Yao Mingyue pouted and huffed.
Whenever it's just the two of them, she would act this adorably tsundere way.
Xu Musen laughed heartily, having no choice; he just liked her capriciousness.
Tomorrow, they would leave.
Once gone, it would be hard to meet frequently.
Xu Musen looked at her proud expression, yet she didn't tell Xu Musen to stop pinching her cheeks.
Xu Musen bent down slightly to look at her: "Do you want to take a walk with me?"
Yao Mingyue's eyes twinkled, but she slightly turned her head: "Without Nuannuan's permission, would you dare..."
Xu Musen flicked her forehead with a smile: "Let's go, Nuannuan isn't as petty as you. At worst, I'll kneel on the washboard when I get back."
Yao Mingyue looked at him, with a slight curve on her lips: "Humph, I guess let's just go then."
"Thanks for gracing me with your presence."
Xu Musen extended his hand, and after a slight pause, Yao Mingyue also reached out her slightly cool hand and gently placed it in Xu Musen's.
The warmth of his palm instantly reassured Yao Mingyue.
Xu Musen held her hand, just like when they were kids; he used to hold Yao Mingyue like this too.
"Come on, let's go out to play together..."
Yao Mingyue slowly tightened her grip on his warm hand, and her steps seemed a bit lighter.
"Xu Musen."
"Hmm?"
"I... want to go to a place."
Yao Mingyue's eyes twinkled, lightly shaking Xu Musen's hand: "Will you go with me?"
The girl's voice carried a hint of playful innocence, making it impossible to refuse.
Of course, Xu Musen wouldn't refuse.
"Okay."
...
Driving towards the ocean leaping into view, it was already approaching evening, the sun setting, and the sunset's afterglow falling onto the ocean, dyeing the seawater with golden warmth.
They stopped at the foot of a hill.
Yao Mingyue got out of the car, gazing at the nearby ocean, the cool sea breeze lifting her silky hair.
The sea here was truly beautiful, with gentle waves softly lapping against the cliffs, like a gentle young girl lightly punching her unromantic sweetheart.
Xu Musen came to her side, and together they slowly gazed at the distant ocean, the sunset glow, truly splendid.
They stood quietly, without words, just like an old married couple... no, they were an old married couple.
No sweet words needed, no intimate gestures required, as long as they stayed by each other's side, that was the greatest happiness.
