But An Nuannuan’s first question still concerned Xu Musen’s health.
Xu Musen felt touched and guilty, "I’m fine now, it was just a trivial matter." Enjoy more content from novelbuddy
On the other side of the phone, An Nuannuan bit her tender lips, and once she was certain Xu Musen was alright, the emotions she had suppressed all night seemed ready to burst forth.
"You lied to me… If it really was a small matter, you definitely wouldn’t have forgotten to call me."
An Nuannuan’s voice was filled with grievance and an earnestness seldom seen on ordinary days.
"Musen, no matter what happens we can take our time, but please don’t lie to me, okay? … I want to face all the problems with you, you still have me…"
Xu Musen fell silent for a moment, there were no accusations in An Nuannuan’s words, she was seriously laying out the matter.
Because in An Nuannuan’s view, they were already together, and would eventually marry, all issues were to be faced by the two of them together.
And since it was a problem for both of them, they should solve it together…
What An Nuannuan wanted was not for Xu Musen to keep spoiling her, but to share the responsibilities as well.
That’s what couples do…
Xu Musen took a deep breath, unable to believe that he, someone who had been married in his previous life, was less thorough in his thinking than An Nuannuan, the simpleton.
Moreover, this feeling of being considered in every way by someone else gave him an unparalleled sense of warmth.
"Nuannuan, thank you. Actually, yesterday…"
Xu Musen recounted the events of the previous day, where he saved someone and then fainted from not being able to hold on, telling An Nuannuan with proper emphasis.
"It was roughly like this, but I’m fine now. I didn’t want you to worry too much, and also didn’t get the chance to tell you..."
As Xu Musen slowly spoke, An Nuannuan on the other end seemed to have gone offline.
"Nuannuan?"
Thinking she was still angry, Xu Musen called out gently once more.
Yet from the phone, only "thump, thump, thump…" could be heard.
"Nuannuan?"
Xu Musen called out again, and only then did a voice finally come from the other end, "You jerk..."
In An Nuannuan’s voice, there seemed to be a hint of grievance and worry mixed with a sob.
"I’m sorry, I just acted impulsively in the moment, but everything’s fine now, right? I even saved a family."
Xu Musen tried to keep his tone light.
But An Nuannuan interrupted him, her voice a blend of sobbing and complaining.
"But I don’t want some hero who saves others; I just want my boyfriend, I just want my Xu Musen..."
An Nuannuan’s emotions had been uncontrollable from the moment she heard that Xu Musen had jumped into icy water to save someone.
Compared to his ordeal with Yao Mingyue, An Nuannuan cared more about his safety.
Her trembling cries tightened Xu Musen’s heart, and all he could do was continuously apologize to her.
"I’m sorry Nuannuan, I was impulsive this time, I promise it won’t happen again. How about, when I get back, you hit me to vent your anger, okay?"
Xu Musen spoke softly, as An Nuannuan’s words had become a warm pulse in his heart.
Only true care can provoke such anger, such obstinacy.
It was like when Yao Mingyue had slapped him in anger the night before.
An Nuannuan sniffled a few more times, sounding genuinely upset, "You, put the phone on your head!"
"What?" Xu Musen didn’t understand immediately.
"Are you going to place it or not?"
"Okay, okay, I’m placing it now."
"You set the phone to vibrate mode!"
"Alright..."
Xu Musen placed his phone against his forehead, feeling a bit like when he was a student being punished to stand with a book on his head.
Was this his punishment, to stand with it?
Xu Musen smiled; it was silly yet adorable.
But then An Nuannuan stopped speaking. Instead, he just felt the phone vibrate frantically a few times, accompanied by strange slapping sounds.
It felt like a massage on his scalp.
"Okay."
An Nuannuan’s voice came again, before Xu Musen could react to what just happened.
"I’ll forgive you this time, but if you dare to do it again, I... I won’t be nice to you anymore..."
An Nuannuan was like that, unable to say even a harsh word.
Yet for Xu Musen, that light statement felt more powerful than a royal decree.
"You got your anger out with that?" Xu Musen still didn’t understand the purpose of before.
"Hmph... I won’t let you off so easily. Some things... When you’re better, I’m still going to deal with you."
An Nuannuan seriously threatened him.
"At your service, my lord Nuannuan, ready for punishment!"
Xu Musen immediately responded.
"Then, then you rest well..."
"Yeah, you too, get some sleep."
The two were reluctant to part, but they both knew the other needed rest.
The call ended.
But Xu Musen received a message.
It was from An Nannan.
A piece of text.
"Jerk! You better pamper my sister well. If my sister is still unhappy, I won’t let you off! (Bloody knife.)"

And the video, which Xu Musen opened.
It was An Nannan sneakily filming from the crack in the door, showing An Nuannuan suddenly lifting her phone up and then reaching out to slap the phone screen several times.
That gesture, like someone patting a dog’s head.
Xu Musen was stunned for a moment, then returned to his chat with An Nuannuan and saw a series of messages she had sent.
All the same emoticon.
It was a rabbit emoticon she often used, with a big white rabbit holding a mallet, eyes ablaze, smashing a mole with the hammer.
He suddenly remembered that when she asked him to place the phone on top of his head, she was embodying that little rabbit, hammering away on his head.
What a brutal punishment.
Xu Musen looked at the series of emoticons, an indescribable emotion swelling in his heart for this silly girl.
Not even willing to truly hit him once when she was mad.
Naive yet endearingly adorable.
Xu Musen stared blankly for a long while, then a knowing smile spread across his face as he stretched out his hand to type.
"Thank you, my dear wife, for the esteemed punishment... (Mouse with a swollen head.)"
