42. It doesn't matter who marks whom or who bites whom, as long as both parties are willing, isn't that enough?
Fortunately, it's just a reservation now, and we'll go to the hot springs in the evening, otherwise Mu Yu feels like he would explode.
He thought he should go to the hotel to wash his face and calm down, but Tu Aotian insisted on going to buy clothes.
"Grandpa Rabbit doesn't want to just wear a pale white bath towel, I want pretty clothes!"
Mu Yu realized that Tu Aotian had a lot of trivial matters to deal with.
He wanted to refuse, but not only did Meng Shuo and Run Yu agree, but even Ruan Mingchu said they should go shopping together. Mu Yu didn't want to go to the hotel alone, so he had no choice but to go with them.
There was a large shopping mall next door. As soon as Tu Aotian went in, he forgot that he came to buy clothes. He wanted to jump over and join in on everything that was food and toys.
It attracted a bunch of kids who wanted to take it home.
Rabbit Aotian, hands on his hips, laughed wildly, basking in his own charm, before ruthlessly rejecting the little brats.
Unable to bear it any longer, Mu Yu grabbed the rabbit by its two ears and dragged it upstairs to the clothing section.
Look at that rich kid, he doesn't make a fuss, he doesn't ask for this or that, he's such a good bunny.
Mu Yu accidentally glanced at a store full of revealing clothing, immediately looked away, and quickened his pace.
After taking a few steps without looking, Mu Yu turned his head and saw Ruan Mingchu grabbing the back of his collar and refusing to let go.
Ruan Mingchu smiled and said, "This is it. Don't go any further."
Mu Yu was dragged into the store.
His ears turned bright red.
In this respect, Tu Aotian, Meng Shuo, and Runyu had something in common. The two fish and the rabbit huddled together and whispered to each other, looking at this piece of clothing and trying on that piece of clothing.
Ruan Mingchu's clothes were all prepared by his secretary; he rarely went shopping on his own, and when he did, he did so very quickly.
For example, just now, he saw a pair of swim trunks he liked outside, and when he went to the store to ask about the size, he bought them since they fit.
He held up the swim trunks he had his eye on and looked at Mu Yu, "What do you like? Want to try it on?"
Mu Yu stared at the bag in Ruan Mingchu's hand, absentmindedly humming in response. His mind was filled with that pair of white, almost transparent swimming trunks.
In the end, he couldn't remember what he bought; anyway, it was all suggestions from Ruan Mingchu and Tu Aotian, so it couldn't have been too bad.
After the shopkeeper cleaned and dried the clothes, they considered their shopping mission complete and returned to the hotel for a short rest.
After taking a shower that evening, Mu Yu took his clothes out of the bag.
Looking at the few strips of cloth, Mu Yu fell silent.
Although you can cover yourself with another bath towel, what's the point of wearing clothes that are worse than not wearing any at all?
He crumpled the clothes into a ball and stuffed them back into the bag; he didn't want to wear this kind of thing anyway.
He casually tossed the bag deep into the cabinet and closed the door.
Mu Yu tried walking a few steps wearing only a bath towel, then quietly went to the cabinet and took out the bag.
The fabric is a magenta triangle, with three thin ribbons extending from two of the three corners and one thin ribbon extending from the other corner.
Mu Yu squatted by the bed, studying how to put it on.
Can this thing really be worn on the body?
Mu Yu studied it for more than half an hour.
As for whether he actually put it on or not, no one but himself knew. Because Mu Yu was clutching his bath towel tightly, as if afraid it would come undone.
After dawdling for a long time, Mu Yu finally came out of the room. As soon as he pushed open the gate to the courtyard, Mu Yu was stunned. This wasn't romance at all; it was a sea of flowers!
Large clusters of vibrant roses swayed freely, leaving only a path and a central pond.
No, there are also flower petals floating in the pool.
The wind blows, and the flowers dance in the air.
Mu Yu's eyes followed a petal as it floated in the air, eventually landing on a white, glowing spot.
He quickly looked away.
In the hot spring pool, Ruan Mingchu, Meng Shuo, Runyu, and the two rabbits had already arrived.
Mu Yu slowly walked into the pool, chose a corner furthest away from Ruan Mingchu, closed his eyes, and silently recited "AO is different" in his mind.
Suddenly, a water bullet hit his chest. Without thinking, Mu Yu yelled at Tu Aotian, "Xiao Tian! Stop being naughty!"
Rabbit Aotian's roar was incredibly loud: "Your mother's eyes can be donated if she doesn't want them, I'm eight hundred feet away from you!"
Mu Yu peeked through a crack in his eye and saw no one in front of him.
“Hehe,” Ruan Mingchu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"Mu Xiaoyu, why are you so shy?"
Ruan Mingchu reached out and patted Mu Yu's face, which was as red as an apple.
His palms, damp with water droplets, felt unusually warm, and Mu Yu's mind went blank for a moment.
Mu Yu stood frozen in place, the heat rising as if it were emanating from the top of his head.
Ruan Minh Thu laughed heartily without any mercy.
Mu Yu stepped back, only feeling a sense of support when his back touched the rock, though his heart was still pounding.
"Stop laughing." Mu Yu forced himself to remain calm, attempting to explain some serious scientific principles. "What's so funny? If you keep laughing, you'll get wrinkles around your eyes when you get old."
Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu was almost turned into braised fish, Ruan Mingchu stopped laughing out loud, but her eyes and brows still radiated an irrepressible smile.
"Mu Xiaoyu, you're too shy. Everyone has what you have, and everyone has what you don't. It's all the same."
Ruan Mingchu was a little curious whether Mu Yu had to wait until late at night to take a shower in the army, and whether he had to cover himself up with his clothes and act suspiciously.
Mu Yu's gaze lingered on Ruan Mingchu for a moment, and when he saw her two pink nipples and her slender, white waist, his face flushed even redder.
Her eyes closed again.
Mu Yu thought Ruan Mingchu's sex education was so poor that she might not even have passed!
Can the differences between male ABOs be judged solely on appearance?!
I can't even have a baby myself!
(Ruan Mingchu: You flatter me, I don't know either.)
No matter how much Ruan Mingchu tried to amuse him, Mu Yu was reluctant to open his eyes. Ruan Mingchu could only take a few more glances at this rare sight. The cool A was actually a shy little rascal.
Mu Yu couldn't sleep all night; every time he closed his eyes, all he could see was that white, glowing waist.
I drank countless cans of herbal tea to barely suppress those inappropriate thoughts.
As long as he's on Hot Spring Star, Gao Bugui holds a moon-viewing banquet every fifteenth of the month. It takes place at his Moonlit Manor, and apart from the nobles who receive invitations, anyone else can attend the banquet as long as they pass an entrance exam.
The banquet was to begin in the evening, and Ruan Mingchu arrived at the entrance of Yueyuan at 3 p.m. to scout the location.
To his surprise, many people were already taking the entrance exam, hoping to attend the banquet that evening.
But thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising. At banquets, you can meet many powerful and influential people who you can only look up to in real life. You never know, if you can find someone whose tastes appeal to you, you might be able to cross social classes.
As soon as Ruan Mingchu appeared, he received countless sharp glances, some open and some covert, filled with jealousy, some contempt, some covetousness—all negative emotions.
A little thought reveals that Nguyen Minh Thu's beauty was simply too striking. Wherever he was, everyone else was like a firefly in the moonlight, unable to gleam in comparison.
Ruan Mingchu touched his face; he was all too familiar with those gazes.
After weaving through the crowd that made way for him, Ruan Mingchu arrived at the small shed with the sign "Yakelai".
Inside the shed is a robot. The robot recites the previous line of a poem. If you can successfully recite the next line ten times in a row, you can get a permit to enter the park.
Ruan Mingchu tapped the table and asked the robot, "Where do I queue?"
The robot's large eye sockets flashed red lights, which then turned into red hearts: "We can begin now."
Ruan Mingchu: ...
So even robots have their own preferences when it comes to looks.
No one around dared to make a sound, even if they were dissatisfied; they could only grumble inwardly. They thought having a robot would guarantee fairness and impartiality, but it turned out to be just as damn prejudiced.
Ruan Mingchu returned a sweet smile to the robot, which almost short-circuited, its red heart in its eye socket trembling.
Robot: "What's the next line after 'The bright moonlight shines before my bed'?"
Ruan Mingchu: "It looks like frost on the ground."
Robot: "What's the next line after 'White feathers float on green water'?"
...
There were ten lines in total, each a simple and common five-character quatrain. Everyone present knew them all, showing an extreme bias.
As soon as Ruan Mingchu left, a red-haired guy darted over, trying to ride on Ruan Mingchu's coattails and hoping to encounter such an easy question himself.
Robot: "The next line after 'The gatekeeper can withdraw his sash'."
Red Hair: "Farewell!"
Cursing and swearing.jpg
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was setting, leaving only a patch of crimson in the sky. Mu Yu took advantage of the cleaning crew's shift change, replaced one of them, and successfully entered the Moon Garden.
Ruan Mingchu then entered the manor with the permission letter, his face modified to make him look like an inconspicuous passerby.
It wasn't supposed to be a swimsuit party, but the banquet was held by the pool. Many beautifully decorated long tables surrounded the more than 1,000-square-meter rectangular pool, with delicate snacks and fine wines on them.
The guests, dressed in their finest attire, clinked glasses, strolled around, and bursts of laughter filled the air.
Ruan Mingchu held a glass of wine, huddled in a corner, occasionally raising the glass to take a sip, but actually not a single drop went into his mouth.
He appeared to be a lowly person who was bewildered by entering such a luxurious and high-class setting, but in reality, his mental energy had already been quietly searching the entire Moon Garden.
Just as Ruan Mingchu found the mermaid with a human body and a fish tail and was about to take a closer look, he was patted on the shoulder.
He turned his head to meet the gaze of the person who had taken his picture, who gave an awkward smile and said, "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."
After saying that, he immediately moved away from Ruan Mingchu and even took out a handkerchief to wipe the hand that had patted Ruan Mingchu's shoulder.
"What bad luck! Judging from his back, I thought it was that pretty girl O from this afternoon, but it turns out he's a faceless guy. Damn, what bad luck."
