Chapter 532 - 243.
"That’s also a way," Mu Jin Huan’s dark eyes held a quiet tranquility, his thin lips curving into a subtle smile, he spoke slowly, "It’s quite convenient."Nan Wan remembered the news she unintentionally saw while bored browsing Weibo in the afternoon, she tentatively asked, "Zijin Mountain?"
Zijin Mountain, meteor shower.
Last time, she didn’t see anything, and honestly, she still felt a little bit of regret.
After putting on her other shoe, Mu Jin Huan raised his gaze to meet hers, his eyes calm and composed, speaking leisurely, "I’ve thought about it, and I think Mrs. Mu’s suggestion just now was quite good, so..."
He didn’t finish his sentence.
"No one is as good as me, will you reconsider?"
Mu Jin Huan opened his slightly sleepy eyes, stood up, and lightly pinched the woman’s cheek.
His lips curled into a barely there smile, his voice deep, warm, "If you act a little cuter, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear anything."
Hadn’t she just kissed him? What else did she need to do?
Nan Wan furrowed her pretty eyebrows, glanced at the watch on the man’s wrist, and asked in a tone that was nearly pleading, "It’s almost nine o’clock, no time to perform, can we do it tomorrow?"
Mr. Mu calmly said two words, "Still early."
Nan Wan, "..."
Even though she wanted to kick him in her heart, on the surface, she could only maintain a gentle smile.
She stood up from the sofa, blinked, softly took the man’s arm and urged, "Let’s go, let’s go, or we’ll be late."
Mu Jin Huan stood still, his long arms wrapping around the woman’s slender waist, drawing her into his embrace.
His chiseled features were calm, like the person who just kissed her until she couldn’t breathe wasn’t him at all.
His long, defined fingers pinched the woman’s chin, unhurriedly asked, "Will you talk nonsense next time?"
Mrs. Mu could bend with the wind, raised three fingers and swore without hesitation, "I promise there won’t be a next time."
Saying it once is a joke, saying it twice is a mood, saying it a third time is pointless.
Without him, even if the mountains collapsed, she wouldn’t want to escape.
To grow old together, of course you can’t make him angry all day long.
You have to love a little more.

This season, the nighttime temperature isn’t quite comfortable, but it’s not the unbearable cold of midwinter either.
There were many people going to Zijin Mountain to watch the meteors. Besides students sneaking out to join the excitement, most were driving. The not-so-wide roads were a bit congested, so the car speed was slow.
When they passed by that bridge, Nan Wan seemed to vaguely recall the scene at the time.
Under the bright moonlight, the water surface still rippled with shimmering waves.
The car in front stopped again, and the slow driving was grinding on Mu Jin Huan’s patience.
Turning his head, he found Mrs. Mu staring intently at the river surface, he couldn’t help but mock, "What’s this, do you want to relive it?"
Nan Wan withdrew her gaze, lazily stretched, shook her head, and replied, "No, I’m very afraid of dying."
That suffocating feeling of not being able to grasp a single lifesaving straw, once experienced, lets you know how terrifying it truly is.
During those days when Third Brother was unconscious, she’d thought of countless ways to die, even tried some. Back then, every morning she opened her eyes, she was quite disappointed to find herself still alive.
But now, she’s afraid of all danger.
Because, every single second with Mr. Mu is stolen for her.
She can’t afford to take it lightly.
Mu Jin Huan took out a bottle of mineral water from the glove compartment, opened the cap, and handed it to the woman’s side.
His deep eyes were filled with a hint of a smile, his voice low and gentle, "Mrs. Mu used to be quite unbeatable, now how come you’re afraid?"
Even faced with a kid who ridiculed her coldly as soon as he saw her, she still didn’t hesitate to jump into this icy river, is there any bit of fear of death in her?
Nan Wan took the water bottle, sipped it slowly, "The situation is different now."
Don’t think she didn’t catch the sarcasm.
Let’s watch the meteor shower that might not come, and then settle accounts with him back home.
After a soft and warm smile appeared on her cheeks, she tilted her head to look at him, her voice light and pleasant, "If I die, how pitiful it would be to leave you alone in this world."
Because she loves him, she’s started to love life, to love this world.
This was clearly an unpleasant sentence, yet it rendered Mu Jin Huan momentarily lost, every word seemed to fall on his heart.
It wasn’t until the honking of cars behind them urged him that he snapped out of this rare daze.
He didn’t start the car, but instead unbuckled his seatbelt, leaned over, and kissed Nan Wan. Unlike the kiss in the closet, this one was gentle, lingering.
Entwined, lingering.
From the lips melded together, overflowed these words, "In life and death, I’ll stay with you."
...
Just like last time, on the way up the mountain, there were hoodlums in school uniforms whistling at Nan Wan from time to time.
Along the narrow path, a street lamp could be seen in the distance, the light not particularly bright, making people’s faces barely distinguishable.
Maybe it was the hairstyle, or because she was dressed so simply tonight, jeans, white sneakers, a beige cardigan, with a cute T-shirt inside, she seemed no different from an ordinary college student.
Mu Jin Huan’s complexion wasn’t great to start with, and after a cheeky boy whistled, giving a knowing glance at them, his face turned completely dark.
Nan Wan, of course, understood the boy’s glance, as he mistook them for a lecherous tycoon and a money-hungry mistress.
As she was about to tease, an excited and lively voice came from behind.
"Mr. Mu, what a coincidence, did you find out from my grandson that I’d be making a wish tonight, so you came to surprise me?"
