LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 205: Is Drugging a Family Tradition of Yours? _3
Back in middle school, after experiencing the death of a loved one, her personality drastically changed, but Yao Mingyue still saw Xu Musen as her ultimate support.
In high school, her personality became somewhat twisted, yet in her mind, there was only Xu Musen, Yao Mingyue thought.
And now, changing bit by bit for him, jumping into the river twice just for a chance to start over, she finally began to understand what it truly felt like to like someone, Yao Mingyue...
They seemed to be calling out to themselves from specific moments in time.
Yah, Brother Musen, stupid Musen, bad guy, Xu Musen, Musen...
They were Yao Mingyues from different times and spaces, each with their own intonation, but each left an indelible mark on Xu Musen's life.
They all cast a vivid shadow in Xu Musen's life.
Could he really be willing to hand this person over to someone else?
What if one day, Yao Mingyue came with another guy and introduced him to Xu Musen as her boyfriend...
A surge of nameless anger and frustration.
Xu Musen felt a tremor in his heart, and in a flash, he remembered An Nuannuan.
Eventually, he slowly shook his head internally.
It wasn't that he couldn't let go, it was just... Ming Yue was still too young, just like Nuannuan, they had never associated with other men besides him.
What if they were to be deceived by some scoundrel?
So, before that, Xu Musen thought it was necessary... to properly take care of his foster sister.
Xu Musen himself didn't notice that his gaze at this moment, with that possessiveness, had a curious resonance with the times when Yao Mingyue turned dark...
Xu Musen didn't realize that he had also unconsciously tightened his grip on Yao Mingyue's hand.
The two exchanged glances for a moment, but neither released their hold first.
Liu Rushuang lightly pursed her lips, taking in both of their gazes, regardless of their future outcome, but at least for now.
Their relationship was developing in a positive direction.
That was enough.
Night fell.
Xu Musen definitely couldn't return home now; in the villa, Liu Rushuang had directly prepared a room for him.
She even handed him a set of keys to the villa.
It was care reserved for someone considered family.
At night, Xu Musen stood on the balcony of his room wearing pajamas, looking at the night sky outside the window.
He felt a bit restless and hot all over from the alcohol he drank today, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
The events of today seemed to be blurted out in a drunken stupor.
But all of this was an unspoken understanding among everyone.
Xu Musen silently watched the night sky outside
"Knock, knock, knock..."
The knocking sound came.
Xu Musen went to open the door, expecting Yao Mingyue, but it was Liu Rushuang, clad in pajamas, holding a pot of sobering tea.

"Auntie you..."
"Call me what?"
Liu Rushuang's face was still flushed with a touch of the rosiness from bathing and the slight tipsiness, making her look exceptionally young and attractive.
Xu Musen swallowed his words, then seriously addressed her, "Mom."
"Eh, what a good boy. You drank quite a bit today, I've brought you some sobering tea."
Liu Rushuang walked into the room with a beaming smile.
The two sat down on the balcony chairs.
After exchanging a glance,
Xu Musen took the initiative, "Auntie, you already know about our situation, right?"
Liu Rushuang poured two cups of tea, pausing for a brief moment, then looked at Xu Musen, her godson, with a somewhat helpless smile.
"You noticed, huh? Actually, auntie knew a few days ago, but Ming Yue, she..."
"I understand, sorry, ah... Mom, I might have disappointed you."
"I'm a little disappointed, but it can't be helped. Perhaps it's just not meant to be."
Liu Rushuang spoke in an unpredictable manner, her eyes filled with a wistful look as she gazed at Xu Musen, as if looking at her own well-raised, plump wild pig that ended up on someone else's dinner table the moment it stepped outside the house.
As she spoke, she also passed a cup of tea to Xu Musen.
"Mom, you're... not angry?"
"What's there to be angry about? You're the child I watched grow up, and you're my godson. Whatever you do, I'll forgive you."
Xu Musen then dared to take the tea, gently sipping it under her gaze.
"Thank you for understanding, Mom..."
But before he could finish his sentence, Liu Rushuang suddenly swayed the teapot, then spoke, "So, if Mom did something to let you down, would you be angry with me?"
Xu Musen:...
Looking at Liu Rushuang's sparkling phoenix eyes, Xu Musen, for a fleeting moment, thought he saw Yao Mingyue as she would be after turning twenty.
He looked down at the cup of tea in his hands.
"..."
Is this some kind of family tradition?!
