Best to have met you

Chapter 12.3-The Most Pale Memories

Coming out from the private room, An Ning immediately complained, “Why did not you help me?!”

Ten minutes after finished talking about giving birth in the year of the dragon, several uncles casually talked about a relative in the family who has been staying aboard all year round. The relative was coming back this time because the daughter-in-law (xi fu can also mean wife but the usage is less common) will be giving birth to a second child. An Ning lamented that even important people will usually drink tea and also chat about ordinary matters. Due to being poisoned too deeply by him, she spoke without thinking at all, “Since the relative has been staying aboard all year round, how can there be a second child?”

……

Everyone present was quiet. Three seconds later, thunderous laughter can be heard in the private room.

At that time, An Ning really experienced first hand what is called ‘too late for regrets’. The person standing next to her was immovable like a mountain and did nothing to save her. So hateful! Furthermore, she could have sworn he laughed!

Ultimately, Xu Mo Ting coughed once and told the elders that he still has to take her out for a walk. Only then, she was free to go.

Mo Ting chuckled, “You have done very well.”

Hypocritical, really hypocritical!  An Ning can’t be bothered with him.

Xu Mo Ting has always been a calm and cool-headed person, but after all was still a complete novice when it comes to matters of the heart.  He was nervous with every step he took, or at least worried that she would reject him. He was also worried about many things a lot of the time. He had stumbled before, so he did not want to experience that kind of feeling again. This time around, he will be much more cautious. But, occasionally he will still be a little anxious.

“Where to go next?” An Ning asked after going out the main entrance.

“Have a casual stroll around.” He was already holding her hand.

Even if she will often accompany friends or her mom to shop around, but go shopping with Xu Mo Ting ah? It felt a little strange.

“What’s up? Not willing?” A certain person calmly accused her.

“I don’t dare ah.” She said with a sense of grievance.

“It’s okay. When you are tired later, I can carry you.” Xu Mo Ting comforted her.

An Ning was very firm, “Don’t want.” So many people coming and going on the main street. Being carried on leader Xu’s back will certainly attract a lot of attention.

When they were passing through a street, An Ning suddenly remembered an interesting anecdote she once read online. Thus she  asked the person next to her, “Do you know which is the safest street in our city?”

“The one on your left-hand side.”

Too far off from the standard answer. Well, indeed it is the street on her left-hand side. Within a few hundred meters, there are the public security bureau, the procuratorate and the court of law. If you break the law here, you can stay here to enjoy the convenience of one-stop service.
