Chapter 347: Childhood Friends Must Be Cultivated from a Young Age (30)

Shen Mubai said without hesitation, “I like them all, but I liked you more when you were a kid.”

An Ziyu stared at her and asked, “Why?”

Shen Mubai looked at him with a resentful look and said, “Because when you were a kid, you were shorter than me. Now, I have to look up when I talk to you.”

With a faint smile in his eyes, An Ziyu patted the girl’s head and said, “It’s okay. From now on, when you talk to me, I’ll lower my head.”

Shen Mubai was even more displeased, puffing her cheeks angrily, “You’re so annoying. Why did you suddenly grow so tall?”

An Ziyu smiled, replying in his heart, Because I want to protect you.

He wanted to be a prince because he wanted to stand by his princess’s side.

He wanted to be a knight because he wanted to protect his princess.

…

While no one was home, Shen Mubai quickly laid on the sofa and started playing games.

When the doorbell rang, she thought someone had come back and quickly hid. She then pretended to turn on the TV before running to open the door.

When she saw who was at the door, she let out a sigh of relief, “Ziyu, why are you here?”

An Ziyu smiled and handed her the pudding he was holding, “I went out to buy some things and brought this for you.”

Shen Mubai exclaimed with delight, taking the pudding and looking at it, “It’s my favorite flavor!”

Sitting on the sofa, she scooped a spoonful of pudding into her mouth, squinting her eyes in satisfaction, “You must have bought it from that store.”

An Ziyu laughed, “Don’t you love the pudding from that store the most?”

Shen Mubai asked curiously, “But it’s so far. What were you doing there?”

Without telling her that he went there specifically, An Ziyu smiled gently and said, “Just a small errand.”

Shen Mubai didn’t ask further and just said, “What does your club usually do?”

An Ziyu looked at her pink tongue, his eyes darkening slightly, but his tone remained gentle, “We have training on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. When the school holds competitions, the training sessions get longer, but it depends on the individual.”

Shen Mubai said, “Our drama club is much more relaxed than your club.”

An Ziyu chuckled, “What were Luoluo doing just now?”

Shen Mubai replied guiltily, “I was watching TV.”

Glancing at the TV screen, An Ziyu smiled softly and said, “I don’t remember you liking this kind of show before.”

Unable to hold up under his gaze, Shen Mubai admitted, “Okay, I admit I was playing games.”

She complained quietly, “You’re not as cute as you were when you were a kid.”

An Ziyu pretended not to hear that, his lips curving slightly, his voice soft.

“How about I play with you?”

Shen Mubai widened her eyes slightly, “You know how to play?”

Her doubt was not without reason, as she had never seen the boy play this game growing up.

An Ziyu smiled good-naturedly and said, “I’ve been learning for a few days.”

Hearing this, Shen Mubai became interested and quickly dragged him to her room, “Let’s go somewhere else to play; otherwise, if my mom sees us, she’ll definitely think I’ve led you astray.”

Feeling the softness of the girl, An Ziyu couldn’t help but gently pinch her, a feeling of affection growing wildly in his heart.

Shen Mubai rubbed her hands together excitedly and said to the system in her mind, “I, Shen Mubai, am going to turn the tables and become the winner!”
