She Lost Memory Before the Divorce Chapter 247

Chapter 247: Chapter 0247 This Damned Heartthrob (3) Chapter 247: Chapter 0247 This Damned Heartthrob (3) “Can you give me your friend's WeChat?”

Waht are U Nong Sha Lei ?

The boy hesitated for ages, his face turning red and unable to look her squarely in the eye, so it turned out he wanted Huo Tingxiao's WeChat?

Mu Lan was stunned for several seconds before she could react.

The boy saw her staring blankly at him, and his face turned even redder, as if blood was about to drip out.

This was also his first time asking someone for contact information like this. But that man was so attractive he had decided to go for it!

“Is that okay, sister?”

What sort of mix-up was this? She had been mentally preparing to reject him numerous times, yet he was actually asking for Huo Tingxiao's WeChat? She almost made a huge blunder!

Just as Mu Lan was about to speak, Huo Tingxiao, who had returned from the convenience store, interjected with a cold voice.

“Not possible. She's my wife. If you want to hit on someone, look elsewhere!”

Mistaking that the boy was hitting on Mu Lan and trying to get her WeChat, Tingxiao had rushed back from the convenience store as if he was on a rocket.

The boy looked up at Huo Tingxiao and, hearing what he had just said, his expression turned pitiful.

“I…”

He stopped himself mid-sentence and sheepishly turned back to his seat.

Mu Lan held her forehead, feeling that this whole experience was just too much!

And Tingxiao, thinking that her reaction was because he had come back at an inconvenient time, suddenly felt uneasy.

“What, did I interrupt something? Or did you actually want to give him your WeChat?”

Listen to that tone, as sour as spilt vinegar.

Mu Lan lifted her eyelids and glared at him annoyed. He was the instigator!

Huo Tingxiao became even more upset, thinking that she really did feel he had returned at the wrong time?

The hand that was already clutching something tightened further, feeling like an idiot.

“What did you go to the convenience store to buy just now?”

Huo Tingxiao curled his lips slightly and put the item he was clutching into his pocket.

“Nothing.”

Mu Lan felt this man was truly foolish, going for a pointless stroll when he didn't buy anything?

Her gaze fell on his infuriatingly handsome face, and she couldn't pin down exactly how she felt. It was one thing for women to be attracted to him, but now men as well… The timid way that boy had acted just now… it just made her angry to think about it.

By this point, Mu Lan had completely forgotten the earnest self-coaching she had done earlier and couldn't stop her true emotions from overflowing.

“Oh…”

The atmosphere, which had been fine before, suddenly became weird.

Mu Lan silently ate her skewers, but her loose hair was getting in the way, always sticking to the skewers.

Huo Tingxiao sighed heavily, a bit helplessly, and had no choice but to take out the thing he had just bought from his pocket.

With a tone that was neither salty nor mild, he said,
“Come here.”

Mu Lan looked up, unsure of what he was going to do. Her star-like eyes fixed on him without a response.

Seeing her lack of reaction, Huo Tingxiao had no choice but to lean further forward, extending his arms.

Mu Lan, not understanding his sudden move, just stood there dumbly until he ran his hands along the sides of her head, gathering her hair, and then wrapped a hair tie he had on his wrist around her hair, tying it into a low ponytail for her. Only then did she realize what he had done at the convenience store… he had gone to buy this for her.

They were very close, his gaze focused, his movements careful and gentle, as if he were afraid of hurting her. A warm rush passed through Mu Lan's heart.

He had actually noticed her constant struggle with her bothersome hair and had silently bought a hair tie for her.

A heart uncontrollably racing, Mu Lan didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment, feeling a rush of blood to her face, she just felt her cheeks were unbearably hot.

In the end, she could only say two words in a stammering voice.

“Thank you.”

Huo Tingxiao sat up straight, as if nothing had happened, and continued eating in silence.

The atmosphere seemed to subtly change.

After the two finished eating and went to pay, the landlady kept apologizing to Mu Lan.

“Oh dear, I'm really sorry, sister. I was so busy today I didn't move you inside. Next time you come, call ahead and I'll definitely save the best spot for you and your 'brother-in-law'.”

Mu Lan didn't mind those details; she just smiled and said she'd see the landlady next time.

But Huo Tingxiao, hearing the landlady's 'brother-in-law' remark, felt an unexpected surge of good spirits.

Since the whole street was a pedestrian area, they had to walk to the parking spot at the end of the street. Walking side by side on the roughly two hundred meters of road, their pace was slow, and there was an inexplicable sense of comfort between them.

It was already one in the morning, but the street was still bustling. Groups of friends were chatting and drinking, some hot-potting, others barbecuing, all basking in the lively atmosphere.

Huo Tingxiao looked down at Mu Lan, her soft, shiny black hair loosely tied up, revealing her fair and delicate neck. Her figure was beautiful, and her casual clothes easily gave the impression of a college student, no wonder that boy had blushed while asking for her contact details.

Suddenly, he recalled Jing Rong's words. He was several years older than Mu Lan; would she think he was too old?

Meanwhile, Mu Lan was pondering whether to bring up the boy's approach to Huo Tingxiao.

Unexpectedly, they both spoke at the same time.

“I…”

Both were startled and looked at each other.

“You go first.”

It was that damn sync again, irritatingly in unison.

Mu Lan looked at him, suddenly bursting into laughter, devoid of any image of composure.

Yet, watching her like this, Huo Tingxiao couldn't help but reveal an infatuated look in his eyes.

He really liked her vibrant liveliness, the fullness of life she carried.

“I'll go first, then.”

Mu Lan took a deep breath, reined in her exaggerated laughter, and just curved her lips slightly.

“That boy just now wasn't coming up to me to chat or ask for my WeChat, he… wanted your WeChat, asking if I could give it to him.”

As soon as she finished, Huo Tingxiao was stunned and didn't know what to say for a while.

Turning back to Huo Tingxiao, that complicated expression as if he had been struck by lightning made Mu Lan burst into laughter again.

“What's wrong?”

Huo Tingxiao frowned deeply, saying in a heavy voice:
“I… nowadays kids are just weird.”

Mu Lan knew this was a bit of a shock to his straight-laced nature.

“There's nothing wrong with liking someone, regardless of whether they are of the opposite sex, or the same sex.

Liking someone means just that, liking them, not for any additional factors.”

Huo Tingxiao quietly listened as she said these words with a hint of emotion. He had a question he'd been holding back, wanting to ask. Ever since Pei Zhao appeared, he'd felt uneasy, but he was afraid to ask, for fear of a disappointing answer…

“Mu Lan, when you first liked me, was it just because you liked 'me' as a person?”

Clearly, Mu Lan didn't expect Huo Tingxiao would ask this.

“I…”
