In the past life, Mu Anhan rejected everything about Gu Xiaozhan.
So during the disaster relief event in the south, whatever happened, she couldn’t remember.
"This weather with both rain and snow is already unusual for the warm south." Mu Shaojie comforted her, "Don’t overthink it!"
Mu Anhan nodded: "It seems that Third Brother and Shi Shi are quite destined for each other. See, both cars stalled at the same time, how in sync is that. Even Heaven wants them together, Sixth Brother, don’t you think?"
"Am I that bad?" Mu Shaojie was straightforward.
Mu Shaojie had actually noticed a long time ago who Zhang Shishi liked.
He just couldn’t put aside his pride.
Of course, he didn’t like Zhang Shishi either. He just felt that since Third Brother and he were born as quadruplets, why did Zhang Shishi pair with him for a CP, only to turn around and get with Third Brother?
Mu Anhan patted his shoulder: "It’s not about being good or bad; it’s about whether fate has arrived. By the way, Sixth Brother, Tong Tong likes handsome little puppies, keep an eye out for her, will you?"
"You think I’m a pimp?" Mu Shaojie snorted, "Xiao Han, let’s catch a duck to roast!"
Mu Anhan laughed: "The ducks understand human speech, once they hear you, they all run away."
Indeed, several water ducks waddled away with their small chubby bottoms shaking.
...
Beside the fire.
Zhang Shishi was still seriously roasting sweet potatoes, gently turning them with a stick in the fire to avoid roasting them on one side, which would lead to one side being burnt while the other remained uncooked.
"Shi Shi..." A shadow fell on her head.
Mu Shaochen softly called her: "I’m sorry!"
Zhang Shishi looked up, her bright eyes gazing at him. She didn’t speak, but she was still a little angry.
From the moment she saw him, she hadn’t said a word to him.
"I only found out after sobering up that photos were taken when I hugged you, but your PR team had already handled it by then, so I didn’t come to find you." Mu Shaochen explained.
Zhang Shishi said in a low voice: "Don’t let it happen again."
Mu Shaochen didn’t mention the kiss, and Zhang Shishi didn’t bring it up either.
Avoiding the subject would evade the awkwardness for both of them.
What followed was endless silence.
Only the crackling sound of burning wood from the fire could be heard.
"Shi Shi..." Mu Shaochen called her again.
Zhang Shishi said sternly: "Mr. Mu, you’ve caused trouble in both my life and work. You were the one who wanted to break up. Please don’t disturb me anymore!"
Mu Shaochen gazed at her intently: "I want to pursue you again now, may I?"
"No!" Zhang Shishi replied without hesitation, "I’m with your Sixth Brother, please respect yourself, Third Brother!"
Mu Shaochen said nothing more, just held the warm sweet potato she had roasted for him in his palm.
Zhang Shishi stood up, preparing to leave.
"Where are you going?" Mu Shaochen asked her.
"I’m going for a walk." Zhang Shishi did not want to stay with him.
She wanted to continue her career and couldn’t ruin her hard-won job for romance.
"You’re not familiar with this place, don’t wander around." Mu Shaochen held her back, "People from the transport convoy will arrive soon, and we can then go back to the city."
"Mr. Mu, your concern is unnecessary, I grew up in the countryside, do you think I’m afraid of anything?" Zhang Shishi found it somewhat amusing.
She tried to pull her hand away from Mu Shaochen, and as she did, a loud "rumble" was heard...
