She Lost Memory Before the Divorce-Chapter 60 - 00 Sweet Date (2)
Chapter 60 -0060 Sweet Date (2)
Huo Tingxiao watched as she, a tiny figure, stood not far off, her hands clasped behind her back, eagerly awaiting the cotton candy to be spun.
“Excuse me, handsome, are you interested in becoming a live streamer?”
An annoying silhouette suddenly appeared before him, causing Huo Tingxiao to frown involuntarily, and the curve of his lips disappeared instantly.
“Not interested.”
His cold and indifferent tone not only did not deter the other party but instead seemed to encourage them to be even more persistent.
“Our company is very professional. Just sign with us, and I guarantee you’ll be famous across the whole platform in no more than three months.”

...
Huo Tingxiao looked at the person coldly, his imposing manner causing the other to shrink back slightly. Still, pondering over the opportunity too good to miss, they wanted to try again. However, before they could speak again, Mu Lan came over with two cotton candies.
“Sorry, we’re not interested; please don’t interrupt our date.”
The word “date” coming from her mouth made Huo Tingxiao’s heart feel incredibly content. Seeing the pair’s firm refusal, the person could only shake their head regretfully and walk away.
Handing one of the cotton candies to Huo Tingxiao, Mu Lan couldn’t help but pout.
“Had I known, I wouldn’t have come out. It’s easy to take your face out, but hard to bring it back.”
“Are you complimenting me?”
“Of course. One moment someone’s asking for your WeChat, the next someone’s pushing you to become a live streamer. I’m afraid soon there’ll be an old lady coming over to ask if you’re married, wanting to introduce her daughter to you.”
Mu Lan didn’t know if her mouth was somehow blessed, but no sooner had she finished speaking than an old lady indeed came over to ask Huo Tingxiao if he was married. She had a very excellent daughter she hoped he would get to know.
“…”
Huo Tingxiao had no idea people these days could be so… lacking in discernment.
“Ma’am, didn’t you see his girlfriend standing right here?”
The old lady didn’t take it to heart and replied cheerfully.
“Oh my, even the unmarried have the right to choose, don’t they? Your boyfriend is so outstanding; of course, he’ll attract admirers.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Lan immediately got fired up.
“What kind of talk is that? Even if we were legally married, protected by the law, or just dating, shouldn’t you think twice before trying to wreck someone else’s happiness like that?”
Hearing that the two were married, the old lady looked embarrassed.
“So young and excellent, and yet married so early. What a pity, what a pity.”
Listening to the old lady muttering to herself, Mu Lan couldn’t believe her ears. What did she mean by ‘married so young’? What’s wrong with her speech? Was she lacking in some way?
Huo Tingxiao, seeing her puff up in anger, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Mu Lan turned back to the instigator, who still had the audacity to laugh. Could they even continue their date with all these interruptions?
“You’re laughing? I’m about to die of anger!”
Saying so, she fiercely bit into the cotton candy. Before she could pull away a piece, Huo Tingxiao leaned down and bit into the other side, closing the distance between them so that they could each see themselves reflected in the other’s pupils.
Mu Lan was startled, her heartbeat missing a beat and her face burning red-hot.
Huo Tingxiao looked at her dazed expression and leaned in even closer. Like a paper shredder, he took bite after bite of the cotton candy until finally, he succeeded in planting a kiss on her lips.
Mu Lan’s eyes widened in realization of what he had done; bystanders cooed at the sweetness of the couple. They had been more intimate before, but the kiss through the cotton candy had her heart racing so fiercely that she didn’t know how to react.
By the time she regained her composure, Huo Tingxiao had already stood up as if nothing had happened, naturally intertwining their fingers in the hand that wasn’t holding the cotton candy.
From the palm of her hand, she felt the warmth of his, and Mu Lan’s smile grew sweeter, almost spilling honey from her eyes.
Because she was a little scaredy-cat when it came to heights, Mu Lan only dared to play safe games, like winning stuffed toys by shooting.
“Oh no, I’m so clumsy, I can’t hit anything. I really want that Husky doll.”
They played several rounds, only winning consolation prizes, and Mu Lan’s spirits finally broke.
Huo Tingxiao glanced at the husky plush almost as tall as her and raised an eyebrow.
“You really want it that much?”
Mu Lan’s eyes lit up with hope as she nodded rapidly.
“I really want it, I really, really want it!”
The stall owner looked at them, his face sporting a smile reserved for suckers.
“How many hits are needed to win that top prize?”
“All fifty shots must hit.”
Mu Lan’s eyes widened. All fifty shots? Wasn’t that excessively harsh?
“Tingxiao.”
Tingxiao gave a smile, reached out to ruffle her hair, and then quickly got into the zone. The stall owner could tell from his gun-holding posture that he had a solid foundation. However… his gun wasn’t an ordinary one, and even with practice, it wouldn’t be of much use.
However…
As soon as Tingxiao fired the first shot, he knew this gun was extraordinary and quickly got the hang of it; the shots that followed all popped the balloons.
Compelled by his perfectionism, he didn’t shoot randomly, but methodically, one right after the other. After the tenth balloon was hit, Mu Lan could barely contain her excitement and cheered him on.
When the count reached twenty without a single miss, onlookers began to gather around.
The stall owner hadn’t anticipated encountering such a skilled player that day and silently wiped away his sweat.
After thirty shots, with no misses, the crowd’s excitement continued to swell.
Pop, pop, pop… ten more shots, still all hits.
“Wow, that’s amazing.”
“Looks like that plush is going to be claimed. This guy is going to lose big time.”
Mu Lan paid no mind to the surrounding chatter, her gaze fixed unwaveringly on Tingxiao before her. His handsome, perfect jawline was within reach, his expression focused on the balloon targets, making him look irresistibly cool.
Suddenly, she felt she could understand why she had been so hopelessly devoted to him before. A man like him would make it abnormal not to be moved.
The final ten shots, the crowd counted down as if it were New Year’s Eve, the excitement growing with each passing second. When the last shot was fired, balloons bursting, the onlookers erupted into applause.
Overcome with excitement and disregarding the public setting, Mu Lan leaped onto Tingxiao like a koala, hugging him tightly and showering him with kisses.
“Hahaha, Tingxiao, you’re amazing, I love you to death!”
Watching Mu Lan acting like a child over a toy, Tingxiao couldn’t help but have his mood lifted. He hugged her back and kissed her lips.
The stall owner was bleeding inside, but rules were rules. After parting with his stall’s prized possession, Mu Lan was ecstatic beyond words.
“You’re amazing. Hehe, so cute! Don’t you think this husky looks like you?”
“…”
Although the plush was indeed cute, being told he resembled a dog plushie left Tingxiao unsure of how to react.
In the end, he could only force out this response.
“As long as you’re happy.”
Mu Lan’s smile was genuinely sincere.
“Happy, happy, this is the happiest day I’ve had in a while.”
