Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 331 - 304

Jiang Aijia’s place wasn’t too far from where they had dinner together. Since checking in required Mu Yunchu and her partner’s identification, they decided to accompany her as an after-dinner walk.

Handing over the room card, Jiang Aijia looked at the gradually darkening sky. Though she wished to go home, she felt it would be inappropriate to just leave the two of them here.

"Master, would you like to visit the night market?"

"It’s just over a kilometer away from here."

Jiang Aijia wanted to show her hospitality as best as she could. "If you’d like, I can call a cab right now."

She usually rode a bike or walked with friends because the night scenery in Yunhai is quite lovely. It was a good time; strolling on the path with the spring breeze caressing their faces while chatting with friends was also a great choice. But considering Mu Yunchu’s current inconvenience, she suggested taking a cab.

Mu Yunchu seemed hesitant.

She didn’t reject Jiang Aijia outright but didn’t immediately agree either, as if she was pondering something.

Wen Xu glanced over, then nonchalantly withdrew his gaze and spoke on her behalf, declining politely.

"No worries, we’re fine on our own."

After Jiang Aijia walked away, he continued, "Shall we take a walk?"

"Hmm?"

Mu Yunchu was surprised, "Aren’t you planning to rest?"

"It’s still early, we can walk a bit."

Wen Xu could tell that Mu Yunchu was probably intrigued by the night market but didn’t really want to take a cab.

So, he walked to the roadside and rented a shared bike.

Yunhai City’s tourism industry is quite developed, and the variety of shared vehicles is complete and seemingly meticulously designed. From electric scooters to bicycles, different models are placed in different spots.

Wen Xu quickly spotted this bike suitable for carrying a passenger.

It was just right for Mu Yunchu to sit on the back.

Sure enough, after he suggested it, he looked up and noticed that Mu Yunchu’s expression softened considerably.

It was clear that she was happy.

Wen Xu slightly curled his lips, lowered his eyebrows considerably, "Come on, since we’re so familiar, I’ll charge you less than the market rate."

After saying this, he patted the seat on the back of the bike.

The leather back seat made a small sound but just enough for Mu Yunchu to find the right spot.

Once she settled down, Wen Xu straddled the bike seat, his well-defined hand lightly rested on the handlebars. He flicked the bike bell, letting out a clear, crisp sound that wasn’t jarring but still distinct enough to catch the attention of passersby.

Wen Xu ignored all those looks and people.

"Ready to go."

Just as Jiang Aijia mentioned, this path’s scenery was indeed nice.

It was a tree-lined path along the river.

The shadows of the sycamore trees woven into nets on the asphalt road under the streetlights, made a rustling sound as the wheels rolled over them.

They weren’t the only ones riding bikes along this path.

Quite the opposite, many couples were cycling similarly on this route.

Wen Xu glanced at one or two from the corner of his eye, pondered for a while, then suddenly said, "You can hold onto me."

"In case it gets bumpy later on."

Without thinking too much, believing there might be some rough patches ahead, and if she fell, it wouldn’t end well, Mu Yunchu gently grabbed onto Wen Xu’s clothing.

"Alright."

Feeling the occasional brush of fingers against the skin at his waist, a familiar, unusual sensation once more surfaced to the tip of his heart. This time it carried a slight tickle, much like a kitten’s tail inadvertently sweeping across the heart, untouchable yet unstoppable.

This rare moment of solitude, Wen Xu could have picked up the conversation, continuing to talk about the previous topic of fortune-telling.

However, he didn’t have the heart to disrupt the current ambiance, a rare experience in his life that he could savor.

The spring breeze wrapped in the fresh scent of new sprouts passed by, intermingled with the faint floral fragrance emanating from Mu Yunchu, intoxicating and refreshing.

He even felt that it would be wonderful if this road had no end.

Yet, most things in the world are like this, no matter how beautiful, they can’t last forever. Even though Wen Xu had slowed down as much as he could, they would eventually reach their destination.

Although he had been psychologically prepared, he couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed when the bike stopped.

With one hand on the handlebars, he said, "We’re here."

He had planned it before scanning the QR code; this was the closest spot to the night market where they could return the bike. If they didn’t return it here, they would have to either cycle back or push the bike ahead, neither of which was a good idea.

So, even though he was reluctant, Wen Xu could only ask Mu Yunchu to get off.

Then, as his mind cleared up, he suddenly realized something.

Because Mu Yunchu often acted just like a normal person, he would forget that she now only had her sense of hearing and touch.

It wasn’t until he smelled the constantly wafting scents of food from the night market that he remembered that now, Mu Yunchu... couldn’t properly enjoy the delicious food here.

Three meals a day for her were just to fill her stomach.

So what was she doing here?

Sure enough, just as he thought of this, Mu Yunchu, after getting off the bike, didn’t express any desire to wander around the night market but found a long bench by the roadside to sit on.

Based on her past behavior, Wen Xu suddenly understood that she must have something she needed to do here.

So he didn’t say much, just quietly sat beside her.

Since she couldn’t see, Mu Yunchu simply closed her eyes.

Time ticked by, while the people playing around them changed again and again, Mu Yunchu didn’t move a muscle, making one wonder if she had already fallen asleep.

Little did anyone know that her mind was actually highly focused, constantly keeping tabs on her surroundings.

When Jiang Aijia suggested coming here, Mu Yunchu’s intention wasn’t very strong.

She just felt something strange.

But as they got closer, right before they arrived, she had an intense feeling that something here was calling out to her.

So Mu Yunchu calculated a fortune in her mind.

This calculation startled her. Her expression became increasingly grave and serious.

Logically, she shouldn’t reveal the Heavenly Mechanism this time.

But thinking of Wen Xu’s situation, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "I’m a bit thirsty."

She hadn’t spoken for at least half an hour, so when she spoke suddenly, Wen Xu was quite surprised.

His eyelashes lightly fluttered, with tiny ripples floating in his amber eyes, seriously observing Mu Yunchu’s expression, his doubts eventually quelled by her calm demeanor.

"Alright."

"You sit here for a while by yourself."

With that, he got up and walked away.

As soon as he turned around, the smile on Mu Yunchu’s face completely vanished. Taking advantage of the moment when others weren’t paying attention, she quietly drew a talisman.
