Chapter 285: How can she be so cute even with a mask on?
If Qin Muni remembered correctly, Xia Yuge met Xu Yisen, who was a year older, when she was volunteering at the orphanage at the age of seventeen.
Warm and Cui Jingxian were assigned to a group to paint with the children at the orphanage. She immediately liked Cui Jingxian, who was extremely gentle and kind to the children.
Many years ago, Qin Muni liked to drag Xu Yisen along with her to volunteer at the orphanage. At that time, the task of painting with the children was always carried out by Qin Muni and Xu Yisen together. It was just that on that day, Qin Muni was absent because she was ill, and the new volunteer Xia Yuge took her place.
Qin Muni no longer had the desire to continue reading. She quickly closed the novel, understanding in her heart that Xia Yuge had adapted the story between her and Xu Yisen into a novel for publication.
She had a vague answer in her heart as to who had given her this novel as a gift.
She threw the novel on the coffee table in the living room and, as she went back to her room, picked up her phone and sent a congratulatory message to Xia Yuge... [Congratulations on publishing your first novel, the content is very exciting. I hope this won’t be the last novel you publish.]
After sending the message, she tossed her phone onto the bed and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Qin Muni wasn’t the only one who received the gift. A man wearing a baseball cap left Qin Muni’s doorstep, took the elevator, and went up to the seventeenth floor to Xu Yisen’s home.
Xu Yisen opened the box, his face turning terrifyingly dark when he saw the book inside and its contents.
He casually tossed the novel into the trash can and was about to return to his room when he suddenly recalled that Xia Yuge had sent him this book. So would she have sent one to Qin Muni as well?
Thinking of this, he became inexplicably flustered. Without taking the time to change clothes, dressed in casual loungewear, he grabbed his phone and dashed out.
When Xu Yisen rang the doorbell at Qin Muni’s house, Qin Muni had just finished washing up and put a face mask on.
The incessant ringing of the doorbell made Qin Muni walk back into the room impatiently. When she saw Xu Yisen standing outside the door through the monitor on the tablet resting on her bedside table, she put it down and slowly went downstairs to open the door for Xu Yisen.
When the door opened, Qin Muni had a face mask on, revealing only a pair of bright eyes and rosy lips.
She looked Xu Yisen up and down, then gently moved her lips and asked, "What’s the matter?"
As she spoke, she turned and walked back into the living room.
Xu Yisen stepped inside, closed the door, changed to indoor slippers at the foyer, and followed behind Qin Muni.
He hesitated in his heart, unsure how to ask Qin Muni whether she had received the novel written by Xia Yuge, but he worried that if she hadn’t received it, he would be doing something redundant.
The only sound behind him was the soft footsteps, with no other noise. Curious, Qin Muni stopped and turned back to look at Xu Yisen.
Xu Yisen, with a slight frown, was absent-mindedly following behind her, the conflict in his brows was clear.
Xu Yisen didn’t realize that Qin Muni had stopped, and when he was about to bump into her, Qin Muni nimbly sidestepped, and only then did Xu Yisen come back to his senses.
His demeanor truly amused Qin Muni, but constrained by the face mask on her face, she had to stifle her amusement and ask, "What big event happened to make you so lost?"
Xu Yisen looked down into Qin Muni’s star-bright black eyes. His originally serious demeanor collapsed instantly when he saw her comical appearance with the face mask. He chuckled, reached out to pat Qin Muni’s head, and said indulgently, "How are you so cute even with a face mask on?"
