Chapter 63 - 063: He Waited for Her and Xu Yisen to Divorce for Three Whole YearsYuan Chengmo also took off his coat, sat opposite her, and on the table were candles. Through the flickering flame, he gazed straight at Qin Muni sitting across, his smile at the corners of his mouth growing ever softer.

    "Finally, I can make up for all the holidays I owed you over the past three years."

    Under the glow of the candlelight, Qin Muni''s face appeared increasingly enchanting, like fine jade. She slowly lifted the corners of her mouth, her exquisitely striking features blooming with a dazzling elegance.

    "Seeing your sincere offerings, I''ll reluctantly forgive your indifference towards me over the past few years."

    "Thank you, goddess."

    Qin Muni lightly chuckled, slightly tilting her head, clearly seeing the couples by the Changle River not far away, setting afloat river lanterns.

    The river lanterns carried the couples'' beautiful wishes as they drifted in the river. On the once dark and tranquil river surface, each flickering lantern seemed like the brightest stars in the night sky, embellishing the entire Changle River with breathtaking beauty.

    Yuan Chengmo lifted the silver cover of the plates in front of them, releasing the aroma of the food.

    Qin Muni withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes to look at the food before her, and teased, "You certainly prepared well. Looks like you''ve learned quite a bit about charming girls abroad these years."

    Yuan Chengmo pulled out the cork of the wine and poured it into his and Qin Muni''s glasses.

    Upon hearing Qin Muni''s tease, he chuckled softly, "Preparation was absolutely necessary."

    After all, he had waited for her divorce from Xu Yisen for three whole years.

    "I wonder which girl in the future will be so fortunate to catch your eye."

    After continuing to tease, Qin Muni lowered her head to pick up a knife and fork, elegantly slicing the steak.

    She completely missed the deep and intense emotions lingering in Yuan Chengmo''s eyes as he gazed at her.

    If she hadn''t missed it, perhaps she would have clearly known which girl he had set his heart on.

    Back in college, it wasn''t just Yuan Chengmo who was close to Qin Muni, but also his other friend Zhao Ziji.

    Zhao Ziji, too, admired the junior Qin Muni who was not coquettish or pretentious, so after a week of consideration, he confessed to Qin Muni.

    At that time, Qin Muni was entirely focused on Xu Yisen, and Ziji''s confession was undoubtedly a burden to her.

    She gently rejected Zhao Ziji, feeling guilty and embarrassed, she later avoided him at every turn.

    Yuan Chengmo secretly loved Qin Muni for years yet never confessed to her. It was not because he hadn''t thought of revealing his feelings, but rather he feared repeating Yuan Ziji''s experience, thus ended up quelling the thought.

    In the world of emotions, he was far less courageous than Qin Muni was in pursuing Xu Yisen back then.

    He also knew well, Qin Muni always saw him as her best friend, as an elder brother, pursuing her would not be easy, but he was quite willing to give it a try.

    This was probably the happiest Christmas Eve and Christmas Qin Muni had experienced in years.

    The two sat in the sunroom, drinking wine, chatting, and by midnight, they sat cross-legged beneath the Christmas tree, together opening the gifts piled under it.

    In the early morning, she posted a message on Weibo. The pictures attached included the view outside the window, the two-meter-tall Christmas tree, the candle-lit dinner, and the silly photo taken while they both munched on apples.

    The Weibo caption read—#NineYearRevolutionaryFriendship# I wish every nine years ahead will have you with me, Happy Christmas Eve, Merry Christmas.
