"Because you're better looking than that person," Yun Shudian said to Mu Qi, half-seriously and half-jokingly, leaning close to his ear.
Shan Gong, who was walking closely beside the two, looked at Yun Shudian with surprise and a sigh upon hearing this.
So superficial?
Mu Qi, however, felt only relief, glad that he had a face that surpassed that other person's.
Yun Shudian naturally didn't have such a shallow reason. It was simply that in her heart, Mu Qi was exceptionally important, so important that she couldn't bear to see him unhappy even for a moment.
As for not saying it directly, it was naturally because everyone had their shyness.
A moment later, Yun Shudian suddenly remembered the cotton candy stall.
"By the way, Mu Qi, where are the ice cream and black tea I wanted?" A flash of white light went through Yun Shudian's mind, and she suddenly remembered Mu Qi holding her just now. Where were the ice cream and black tea?
"Madam, here," Shan Gong stepped forward and handed Yun Shudian the ice cream, which was almost completely melted, and the black tea in his hand.
Yun Shudian looked at Shan Gong a few more times. She had completely forgotten about Shan Gong earlier. Now that Shan Gong suddenly spoke, Yun Shudian was still a little incredulous.
Shan Gong felt a twitch in his heart under Yun Shudian's gaze.
So, he was just a transparent person. No, he wasn't even a transparent person; he shouldn't exist!
Shan Gong's inner world was rich and colorful, but on the surface, he maintained his expressionless face.
Yun Shudian looked at the black tea, then at the ice cream that was melting down her hand. Without hesitation, she brought the black tea to her lips and then poked the ice cream towards Mu Qi's lips.
Seeing this, Shan Gong instinctively wanted to say that their young master didn't like ice cream. However, with a subtle glance from Mu Qi, Shan Gong immediately swallowed his words.
Feeling the cold, sticky touch on his lips, Mu Qi, without any expression, slowly took a sip.
Yun Shudian paused her action of drinking black tea, her eyes fixed on Mu Qi's lips. She really couldn't figure out how he could eat ice cream with such a captivating demeanor.
"Is it good? Mu Qi?" Seeing that Mu Qi still had no expression, Yun Shudian couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's okay." If Yun Shudian made him eat it, Mu Qi felt that even the most unpalatable thing wouldn't be so hard to accept.
"It's okay?" Hearing Mu Qi's mediocre answer, Yun Shudian became even more curious about the taste of the ice cream.
The next second, Yun Shudian tasted it herself and found it quite good, but a little cold. She probably couldn't finish it alone.
With that, Yun Shudian glanced at Mu Qi casually yet meaningfully, and soon had an idea.
"Let's eat it together, okay?"
As Yun Shudian spoke, she held up the melting ice cream in her hand.
Eat together?
Mu Qi looked at the single ice cream, his gaze darkening.
"Okay."
Mu Qi leaned forward slightly and took another sip of the ice cream.
Shan Gong couldn't bear to see the once imposing Mu Qi in his memory now bending down for a mouthful of ice cream.
So, Shan Gong sighed softly in his heart and turned away.
Seeing that Mu Qi only took one bite and then straightened up, Yun Shudian explained her original intention: "Mu Qi, you can keep eating. Eat until it's half gone."
As Yun Shudian finished speaking, a hint of disappointment appeared in Mu Qi's eyes.
The disappointment in Mu Qi's eyes was not difficult to discern. Yun Shudian was still wondering about it when she saw Mu Qi directly push the ice cream in her hand to her lips.
Yun Shudian tentatively took a sip, and then saw the disappointment in Mu Qi's eyes instantly disappear. He then took her hand and brought the ice cream to his own lips.
With this back and forth, Yun Shudian soon understood Mu Qi's childish persistence.
Yun Shudian's eyes and the corners of her mouth curved uncontrollably, her entire aura exuding an enviable sweetness.
After they walked for a while unconsciously, Yun Shudian suddenly remembered the pair of cotton candy she had admired earlier.
One was a red Mickey Mouse, and the other was a blue Mickey Mouse.
"Mu Qi, let's go buy cotton candy?" Yun Shudian turned to Mu Qi with anticipation and said.
As soon as Yun Shudian finished speaking, the soft strands of Mu Qi's hair stiffened imperceptibly.
Mu Qi had an excellent memory. He knew that there was only one place in the entire amusement park that sold cotton candy, and it was the place where Yun Shudian had met that man earlier.
Yun Shudian also realized this issue after she spoke. She innocently rubbed her nose but did not change her mind. She really wanted that pair of cotton candy.
Mu Qi would have the blue one, and she would have the pink one. The scene would surely be beautiful.
"Alternatively, should we ask Shan Gong to buy it for us?" After a long silence, Yun Shudian finally remembered the existence of Shan Gong.
Shan Gong, of course, had not expected that Yun Shudian would be so persistent about just two pieces of cotton candy.
However, seeing Mu Qi's gloomy expression gradually ease after hearing Yun Shudian's suggestion, Shan Gong felt that it was no big deal.
But remembering his primary mission, Shan Gong's slightly thick eyebrows furrowed.
After Yun Shudian finished speaking and saw that neither Shan Gong nor Mu Qi reacted, her emotions surged, and she abruptly sat on the ground.
"I don't care, I want cotton candy! I want it!"
Seeing Yun Shudian acting like a spoiled child, Shan Gong's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Who was this person? He refused to acknowledge that she was their young master's wife.
As Yun Shudian's emotions subsided and her rationality gradually returned, she froze in place.
Who was that person just now? She absolutely refused to admit it was her.
On the other hand, seeing Yun Shudian like this, Mu Qi softened completely and immediately bent down to pick her up.
It was just two pieces of cotton candy. Such a simple request, how could he not fulfill it for his Shudian?
Mu Qi reflected, blaming himself entirely.
"Shan Gong, go buy it immediately."
Shan Gong: "But Young Master..."
Before Shan Gong could finish, Mu Qi interrupted him.
"Go and buy it."
"Yes."
Meanwhile, Yun Shudian was so mortified by her earlier behavior that she couldn't speak, letting Mu Qi gently pat the dirt off her clothes.
"I was wrong." Ever since he had pulled her up, Yun Shudian had been silent. Mu Qi was afraid that Yun Shudian would ignore him because of this and immediately apologized.
Yun Shudian looked at Mu Qi in front of her with a complicated expression. She had reason to suspect that the Yun Shudian who had acted like a spoiled child just now was spoiled by this very person.
"Sister, what a coincidence. We meet again."
Mu Qi had not yet received his acquittal when a familiar sweet maiden's voice came from beside them.
