Chapter 95: The Mysterious Woman

She had left Yuntian Mountain, an hour’s drive later, she arrived in An Province and based on her memory, she reached the apartment building where Lin Beixiu lived.

A few minutes earlier, she had called Grandpa Zhang, who was very happy and welcomed her arrival.

“Grandpa Zhang, I’ve come to see you.”

Grandpa Zhang warmly invited her in, “Girl, you’re here, welcome.”

Qin Muxue placed the fruits she brought on the table and looked around.

“Grandpa, where’s Beixiu?”

“That boy, he finished his work and went out, said he was meeting an old classmate, at the park.”

This was also a habit of Lin Beixiu, he would always inform his family before going out, so as not to worry the elders at home.

“Should I go look for him?”

Grandpa Zhang smiled but didn’t speak, then said: “Go on, you young ones have things to talk about, go find him, and stay for dinner later.”

“Also, it’s getting cold, be careful not to catch a cold, wear more clothes.”

Qin Muxue went out, to the park where the two of them had chased each other last time, just walking around and hoping to bump into Lin Beixiu by chance.

Around the corner, she indeed got lucky and saw Lin Beixiu ahead, she was about to greet him but froze in place.

By Lin Beixiu’s side stood a girl, and they were walking and laughing together, at least that’s how it appeared to Qin Muxue.

From the back, the girl was tall and slender, with long hair, and even from the side, she was beautiful.

Qin Muxue stood there, not knowing what to do or whether she should approach, her lips pressed tightly as she watched them walk away.

Her heart felt as cold as this winter.

Qin Muxue stood dazed, leaning on the fence, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of her, but her heart was incredibly heavy.

Because she cared, that’s why she was so anxious.

“Hey, girl, you’re back, where’s that naughty Beixiu?”

Qin Muxue shook her head, “I didn’t find him, had to come back first.”

“Well, alright, you’ve walked a long way, have some water and some fruits first.”

Grandpa Zhang cheerfully brought out things to treat Qin Muxue.

Qin Muxue sat on the sofa, the images in her mind still lingering, but she was comforting herself.

Maybe the two were just classmates, just walking side by side, it wasn’t a big deal.

Qin Muxue shook her head, feeling almost insane, wishing she could confront Lin Beixiu right away.

“I’m back.”

Lin Beixiu entered the door, saw Qin Muxue sitting on the sofa, and his grandpa cheerfully holding the fruit plate, and was stunned.

“Uh, why are you here?”

Grandpa Zhang grumpily said: “What nonsense are you talking about, come over here, you two talk, you’ve been out for so long, and the girl couldn’t even find you.”

Lin Beixiu twitched the corner of his mouth, am I really your grandson, his arms wanting to twist outward.

But he was also surprised for a moment.

“You went looking for me?”

Qin Muxue nodded, “Didn’t see you, so I came back.”

“Oh, I met a classmate, maybe at that time I was seeing her off, and we missed each other.”

Lin Beixiu sat down, “You should have just stayed home and waited for me, why go out in such cold weather?”

Qin Muxue was in a bad mood, yet he said, “You had to meet a classmate on such a cold day, and it was a girl.”

“How has your holiday been, there’s not much fun here at my place,” Lin Beixiu continued.

If only you were here.

Although Qin Muxue thought so, she pouted, “Don’t you welcome me, hmph.”

Why are you angry again?

Women, really hard to understand.

Lin Beixiu shook his head, “No, I’m really happy you could come.”

“You two chat, I’ll go out and buy some groceries, let’s talk over a meal,” Grandpa Zhang tidied up and was about to leave.

Soon, it was just the two of them in the room.

After an awkward moment, Lin Beixiu finally spoke, “How’s Mantou?”

“She’s good, has grown quite a bit, eats a lot.”

Qin Muxue excitedly took out her phone to show him the photos she had taken. The kitten had grown and was a beautiful young girl (female cat).

“Nice, very cute.”

“Shall we go for a walk after dinner?”

Lin Beixiu: …

Still the familiar taste.

“No, no, I give up, I finally have a holiday, and still have to power up be a person.”

Qin Muxue teased with a smile, “Then I’ll tell grandpa, he will probably side with me.”

Lin Beixiu: …

“You’ve done enough, that’s too much,” Lin Beixiu complained angrily.

Qin Muxue suddenly stretched out her hand and pinched his belly, Lin Beixiu jumped in surprise, then relaxed again, just watching her.

“You’ve gotten fatter.” Qin Muxue felt the texture was good, seeing Lin Beixiu unmoved, she became even more daring.

But Lin Beixiu slapped her hand away, “older sister Qin, enough.”

“By the way, there’s also this.”

Qin Muxue got up, went to the bedroom, and when she came out again, she was holding a bag, from which she took out a cup of double-skin milk.

“I brought this for you, try it.”

Qin Muxue blinked her small eyes at him, full of anticipation.

Lin Beixiu took it, thanked her, he had really grown to love this thing.

The cup felt warm in his hands, topped with an assortment of fruits.

“Tasty?”

Lin Beixiu savored it carefully, “Not sure, the milk taste is a bit strong, but overall it’s not firm enough, lacks a springy texture.”

“Which store made this, it’s passable.”

Qin Muxue was delighted, “So you mean it’s not bad?”

“Mmm, needs improvement, where did you buy it?”

“Nowhere, just bought it randomly.”

Qin Muxue secretly remembered what he had said.

“Aren’t you having one, why didn’t you buy one for yourself?”

Qin Muxue shook her head, “It was just for you, I don’t want any, I’m afraid of getting fat.”

Lin Beixiu didn’t say much, didn’t think too deeply, “Then you eat some fruits.”

Before long, Grandpa Zhang came back, carrying a big load of groceries.

“Beixiu, get cooking, you’re so lazy, eating good stuff yourself, not giving the girl anything.”

Seeing Lin Beixiu eating the double-skin milk, although not knowing what it was, it didn’t stop him from scolding Lin Beixiu.

Qin Muxue watched him being scolded, giggling, while Lin Beixiu looked utterly depressed.

“Grandpa, she bought it for me.”
