Chapter 74 – Sugar Rush
In this duel, both sides are hurt.

Su Jishi just know that although Mu Xiulun looks domineering on the outside, he actually had a sweet tooth. How he keeps his figure when he loves sweets so much, she didn’t know.

In almost the same manner, Mu Xiulun also found that Su Jishi was incredibly difficult to understand. Her real face was far less gentle and kind than that on the screen, and she was like two completely different people in one tiny body!

For a moment, he didn’t speak to her and just ate hard, swallowing big scoops of his too sweet millet gruel.

While they eat, Su Jishi was unable to open her mouth because of the mask she wore. She could only quietly the lower edge of it while eating, revealing her pointed chin and a pair of vermilion thin lips. The lip shape of the sisters was very characteristic, both of them had slightly upward tilted shape with fuller upper lip.

To tell the truth, the way she lifted the mask with her left hand while she ate with her right looked really ridiculous and Mu Xiulun could not take his eyes off such a funny scene.

He had “kept” her for three years before, but Mu Xiulun knew almost nothing about her. Having seen her only three times this month, she already showed much more character in front of him than she ever had during those three years.

Discarding these thoughts from his head, Mu Xiulun noticed on the opposite table that two young girls had been looking at them frequently, with their eyes fixed on Su Jishi. The two of them did not order much and finished eating in a short time. They two took their bags and the girl with long hair went to pay the bill, while the girl with short hair went round their table, observing Su Jishi.

To Mu Xiulun, they looked like they have ulterior motives. Could it be that she recognized Su Jin and wants to take photos?

Mu Xiulun, like a spring, suddenly sprung up. He had consumed too much sugar, his mind was hazy, his heart beating faster—sugar rush! And in no time, he started yelling at the short-haired girl prancing around their table.

“You! What are you doing?!”

The girl was startled by his aggressive questioning and shook all over with fear.

“I—I am not … I just want to ask this little sister what brand is the facial mask she’s wearing on her face. I think it is quite interesting …”

Mu Xiulun : “…”

With a spoon of milk suspended in her mouth, Su Jishi quickly swallowed and smiled at the girl. On the process of titling her body towards her back, she nearly knocked the soya-bean milk away.

Luckily, Mu Xiulun was able to prevent it. The sugar rush heightening his senses!

Su Jishi’s facial masks were all provided by sponsors and she told the short-haired girl the brand. The girl quickly took out her cell phone and wrote it down. Afterwards, she left with gratitude.

The girl with the long hair was waiting for her at the booth and when she saw her best friend coming back, she quickly took her arm and asked, “Have you asked about the brand?”

Short hair girl : “Yes! The facial mask is XX brand, and I have already added it to the shopping cart … That little sister is very kind, but her boyfriend has a bad temper and he yelled at me! What a prick!”

Hearing this, the girl with long hair shook her head repeatedly. “He must have thought of himself a big boss by wearing a suit. For all we know, he could just be an insurance agent! How could such a kind girl ended up with such a man?”

The two women walked away while chatting. They thought their voices sounded low, but a gust of wind happened to bring their comments to Su Jishi and Mu Xiulun’s table.

Mu Xiulun looked down at his high-definition suit and thought that it was enough to buy several breakfast shops. And he fell into a long silence.

***

The meal dragged on for more than half an hour and the two barely talked.

Mu Xiulun did not mention that he saw her crush the gangster’s stereo last night, nor did Su Jishi mention the geological hammer she left with him.

It was as if they were really a pair of couple who have been dating for many years. After working all night, they dragged their tired bodies to the breakfast stall and ate a sumptuous breakfast.

Seeing that they were almost finished eating, a woman in her fifties, with her little grandson wearing a red scarf, leaned in and asked if they could share a table with her and her grandson.

Mu Xiulun quickly got up and offered his seat. “Please sit down.”

The woman declined his offer for a while but finally sat down. She repeatedly praised him.

“Young man, you really are a kindhearted man! Looking at you in a suit, you must be a big boss. A good boss like you surely does a good job! ”

Mu Xiulun modestly said, “No, I only sell insurance.”

Su Jishi: “….”
