Chapter 118: Chapter 96: They Are the Experts!_3

"Then shall I give you a massage?"
```
Xu Musen still politely asked.
"Uh-huh."
Xu Musen gently lifted her legs and placed them on his thighs, feeling that her legs were still as soft as water, yet within the softness, he could now sense the strength of the thighs.
"It seems you're recovering really well; you'll be able to take care of yourself even when you're on your own..."
Xu Musen was also happy for her. Living in a wheelchair always came with its inconveniences, so naturally, it was best for her to recover.
Just that once she was fully recovered, he wouldn't have any excuses to massage her anymore, and she probably wouldn't stick to him every day like she does now...
Xu Musen looked up at the bright moon in the sky, feeling a sense of unexplained melancholy.
What if this cute little thing ran away in the future?
Should he trick her now?
But as Xu Musen was thinking this, he suddenly shook his head. Wasn't this train of thought becoming a bit too much like Yao Mingyue's?
That was terrifying.
While Xu Musen was lost in thought, An Nuannuan suddenly moved her legs and pouted, "Didn't we agree to be friends for life?"
Xu Musen snapped back to reality and smiled wistfully, "Once your legs get better and with you being so beautiful, there will surely be lots of boys chasing after you. They'll buy you milk tea, buy you ice cream, take you out to eat... By then, you probably won't lack a friend like me, right? What worries me is you; with so many bad people out there, I would be so sad if someone deceived you..."
Xu Musen spoke in a tone that carried a sigh.
As the saying goes, a crying child gets milk, and those who feign pity always find someone to feel sorry for them.
And he was doing this for Nuannuan's own good. Boys nowadays have nothing but dirty thoughts in their heads. What if An Nuannuan fell for the wrong person?
His heart was truly breaking as her good friend.
Two girls sitting not far away also had their lips twitching.
"Typical scumbag, starting to PUA Nuannuan already. And he's talking about the bad people out there; isn't he the one on the prowl right now?"
"Hehe, but the thing is, An Nuannuan is willing, isn't she? If she didn't like it, it would be manipulation, but if there's mutual affection, then it's called love."
The two whispered amongst themselves.
Meanwhile, An Nuannuan earnestly looked at him as a breeze blew a leaf onto her foot. Her toes moved slightly, and her sandal accidentally dropped to the ground.
"Xu Musen…"
"I know, I know."
The warmth in Xu Musen's voice was like the summer wind, as if he was doting on his little daughter.
He reached out to pick up the fallen sandal, which looked as if it were a glass slipper straight out of a fairy tale.
Holding it, Xu Musen gently supported her ankle, and Nuannuan's delicate and exquisite feet shimmered under the lights, her crystal-clear toes like the finest jade.
Xu Musen licked his lips, restraining some impulses.
It wasn't the first time he was helping her with her shoes. He caressed her small feet, only lightly dragging them into position.
Having put the shoes on, he also fastened the buckles for her.
"Xu Musen."
"Hmm?"
"I don't know if I'll have other friends in the future, but I do know that you're the first person who was willing to be my friend and also the first one to treat me so well."
"Even if my legs get better, all I want is to stay by your side because you've contributed to my recovery. Every step I take in the future will also partly be your doing."
An Nuannuan lowered her head, watching Xu Musen carefully help her with her shoes, her voice slow and especially tender.
Her legs were gently closed together, so pure in the night.
She bent down slightly, reached out her little hand, and gently tugged at his clothes, her voice soft and laced with dependency, "Xu Musen, with you around, nobody will deceive me."
"What if I wanted to deceive you?" Xu Musen asked softly.
"Then you just shouldn't deceive me."
Holding her milk tea, An Nuannuan's request seemed more like a whimper.
"What if I accidentally deceived you?" Xu Musen couldn't help but smile.
"Then I won't let you squeeze my 'feet-feet' anymore."
"That would be too terrible."
Xu Musen felt a shiver of dread but then suddenly paused, "Wait! I've never squeezed your feet!"
An Nuannuan turned her head away, her fair cheeks heating up in waves.
At that moment, Jiang Jinfang and Ge Jiayue, who were secretly watching from the side, looked at each other.
How could he be so dense at such a moment?
Nuannuan's words meant she was telling you that you could 'squeeze' her little feet.
"I think... we don't need to worry about Nuannuan anymore. They're both playing PUA with each other," Ge Jiayue said with a profound sigh.
That little speech of An Nuannuan's would have floored any guy.
Each step I take has your contribution... Isn't that more powerful than any 'I love you'?
Jiang Jinfang also stood there stunned for a long while before standing up and leaving.
As if the two of them could actually offer advice to those two.
Truly skilled hunters often disguise themselves as the most alluring prey...
