Chapter 289 The Girl Must Like It

e stared intently at An Xue Tang's tightly clenched hands, lost in thought.Mo Jun Yi was sweating profusely, wanting to say something, but Ning'er held him back. "Young Master, don't disturb the Valle...Luckily, Mo Yunjing came back at this time!

"If Tangtang wants to know something, why not ask me directly"

This is Mo Yunjing's voice.

Hearing his voice, Yunliu and the others felt relieved.

An Xuetang's eyes lit up, following the sound and looking over. Sure enough, she saw that familiar figure slowly walking towards her.

She smirked and watched him walk up to her, "Ajing, you're back."

"Hmm."

Mo Yunjing acted as if he couldn't see anyone else, and at this moment, he reached out to take her hand. "Tangtang, how about I accompany you into the city for a play today"

"Come into town for a play"

"Hmm."

"Okay!" An Xue Tang excitedly looked at Mo Jun Yi beside her. "Zi Ling, let's go into the city together. We can have dinner at a restaurant tonight."

Even if An Xue Tang didn't invite him, Mo Jun Yi would still follow to be the spare lightbulb.

But at this moment, Mo Junyi shook his head and said, "Mother, I still have to practice martial arts with my uncle. I won't go with you and Fifth Uncle today."

“!”

An Xue Tang raised her eyebrows in disbelief, "You really aren't coming with us"

This is not Zilin's style at all!

At this time, Feng Ming also spoke up, “Even if he wanted to go for his brother today, I wouldn't let him. There are important techniques I still need to teach him. A Tang, don't tempt him to go with them anymore; you should quickly leave with Mo Yun Jing.”

"..."

An Xuetang thought, what's with these people today

Everything about it seemed off, but she couldn't pinpoint what exactly was wrong.

Things that didn't make sense, An Xuetang simply stopped thinking about them.

In the end, she still went out on the street with Mo Yunjing alone.

Today is very cold, and it snowed, but at first it was a light snowfall, which didn't affect the two people walking hand-in-hand on the street.

"Ajing, aren't you guys hiding something from me" As they walked, An Xue Tang couldn't help but speak up.

Mo Yunjing curled his lips, "Tangtang thinks we can hide anything from you"

An Xue Tang pursed her lips, "I can't quite put my finger on it, but I feel like the two of you have been... off..."

Mo Yunjing let out a light chuckle. “Sometimes, it’s best not to think about things that don’t make sense.”

An Xuetang pursed her lips, "Well, I don't believe you can keep it from me forever."

The two strolled down the street, and without realizing it, the chill in the air was quite biting. An Xuetang could exhale white puffs of breath with every inhalation; she felt her nose tip aching from the cold.

And the snow was falling heavier and heavier, showing no signs of stopping.

That oppressive sky, as if hating to be burdened any longer, shook its white feathers down onto the earth with great force.

The children playing in the street were also called back by their adults, and other pedestrians on the street hurried along.

Soon, a thin layer of snow blanketed the ground.

An Xuetang lowered her head and stepped on the white snow, leaving footprints behind. At first, she found it fun, feeling that walking in the snow when it was lightly snowing was a delightful thing to do.

But the snow kept falling harder and harder, and she began to find it unbearable. The snowflakes were driving straight into An Xuetang's collar, penetrating her clothes and chilling her to the bone. Finally, she felt like she was really suffering.

Seeing the pedestrians on the street rushing under the eaves to take shelter from the snow, An Xuetang looked at Mo Yunjing, "A-Jing, let's go hide for a while too."

A biting wind swept across the sky, sending snowflakes swirling and dancing. They settled in patches on the eaves of the house, on the branches of trees. She really felt the cold!

Mo Yunjing curled his lips and nodded, then half-embraced her and hid under a certain eaves.

Mo Yunjing held her in his arms, and the two of them watched quietly as the snow fell for a while.

Looking out at the street, trees, and rooftops all covered in a light dusting of snow, An Xuetang couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect the snow to fall so heavily."

"The snow in our northern region isn't that big yet. If Tangtang saw how it snows in the Blue Nation, she would know what a real snowfall is like."

" "

An Xue Tang was speechless, she didn't expect the snow in Lan Guo to be even worse than this. No wonder food was so scarce in Lan Guo.

In this kind of weather, how could there not be a shortage of food!

The snow kept falling incessantly. An Xue Tang saw that occasionally, people would bundle up in their clothes and rush out into the street with their heads down, so she assumed they lived nearby.

Some people, probably living further away, could only continue to wait under the eaves.

At this moment, An Xuetang suddenly had an idea. She looked at Mo Yunjing with a hint of excitement, "Ajing, do you think if we sell oil-paper umbrellas right now, we could make some money"

Mo Yunjing chuckled, reaching out to gently rub her nose, dotingly saying, "Little money grubber."

However, the matter of selling oil paper umbrellas didn't concern An Xuetang, because soon after she finished speaking, someone selling oil paper umbrellas appeared on the street.

An Xuetang and Mo Yunjing also bought one, and the two continued to walk down the street.

As they walked, passing a teahouse and tavern, a waiter beckoned them inside to have some hot tea and warm wine to ward off the chill.

Seeing An Xue Tang hesitate, the shopkeeper continued to shout from under the eaves: "This snow is estimated to be stopping for a while. Our shop just has a new kind of plum blossom wine, fresh and delicious. Would you two guests like to come in and try some"

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow. At this moment, she smelled a warm fragrance of wine coming from the tavern. The smell was sweet and sour, with a hint of fermented grain sweetness, and there was also a faint scent of plum blossoms mixed in. An Xuetang thought it smelled very good.

For a moment, she inexplicably felt the urge to go in and taste the wine for herself.

"Then, with hopeful eyes, she looked up at Mo Yunjing and said, "A-Jing, I see that the snow isn't letting up anytime soon. We can't go back now anyway. Why don't we go inside first and take shelter from the wind and snow"

Mo Yunjing's lips curled into a faint smile as he spoke softly, "I think Tangtang isn't trying to avoid the wind and snow, but rather wants to taste the wine."

An Xue Tang chuckled, "Actually, I don't particularly want to drink. It's just that if we keep walking in this wind and snow, it'll be difficult. Not to mention the risk of falling. Ajing, you wouldn't want to see me fall, would you Don't you think it would be perfect if we found a place to shelter from the wind and snow until it stopped"

Mo Yunjing watched as she earnestly searched for various excuses. He subtly twitched his lips, a knowing smile playing on his face as he patiently listened to her finish before giving a soft "Mmm" and saying, "Then let's go in and 'shelter from the wind and snow'."

He deliberately emphasized the words "sheltering from wind and snow", which caused An Xue Tang to smile.

"Well then, let's just seek shelter from the wind and snow."

Anyway, no one says you can't enjoy some drinks while taking shelter from the wind and snow, right!

So she can still drink later, right

Thinking this way, An Xue Tang and Mo Yun Jing had already been invited into the tavern.

The two of them entered the small tavern, which was utterly unremarkable. A wind-blocking curtain hung across the doorway. Once inside, An Xuetang felt her senses were even more indulged; the scent of alcohol here was at least twice as potent as outside.as just an ordinary commoner in disguise, wearing roughspun clothes and a straw hat on his head.It was similar to the pawnbroker's description, but this merchant's straw hat didn't cover his face.This...
