An Nuannuan no longer looked naive at this moment. Her clear eyes burned with an intensity that Xu Musen couldn't ignore.
They weren't sharp like the gaze of a sickly girl, yet they were more capable of melting hearts.
Xu Musen took a deep breath, "Nuannuan, give me some time, and I will arrange everything. Both for her and for you, I don't want to see either of you sad."
It was a very selfish thing to say, even somewhat inhumane.
But it was still better than constant evasion and secrecy.
After Xu Musen said this, he had actually braced himself for a slap.
An Nuannuan looked at him and reached out one hand to gently pinch Xu Musen's cheek, "I know, I don't blame you. She came into your life before I did, a reflection of your entire youth... I've long missed the chance to catch the first snowfall of your youth."
"Nuannuan..."
