‘How did we suddenly end up at the Snow King?’
It can’t be that working together sparked some feelings, right?
Su Mu glanced quietly at Lando, who also looked a little curious, as if she didn’t come here often.
“Have you been here before?”
“No, didn’t you bring me here?”
It seemed like just a coincidence, or maybe Su Mu had become too familiar with the route she’d taken recently.
Everything after leaving the Dojo had become blurry, and only here at the Snow King could she barely make things out.
“Where do you usually hang out?”
“Usually, after leaving school, I go straight back to the Dojo. I rarely go anywhere else.”
Like Su Mu, who lacked a reason to go out, Luo Jialan simply lacked the time and opportunity.
Before Su Mu could ask more, Lando suddenly twitched her nose and then headed toward the door of the Snow King.
“Such a sweet smell.”
Su Mu was no stranger to this scent.
In the past, whenever she caught the scent, the first thing she’d think of was milk tea.
Later, it became the sight of the blue-haired girl in front of her.
After entering, behind the counter stood the shop manager who had appeared a few times before.
Her face was covered by a mask, but it was clear she was smiling sweetly.
“What would you like to order? Today’s 520, so there’s a special event for couples.”
Hearing this, Su Mu felt a bit surprised, but she quickly caught on.
Right, this was Lando’s dreamscape, so being treated as a couple was perfectly normal…
So this basically turned into a date?
“What event?”
Lando stood on her tiptoes, excitedly asking.
Su Mu had a bad feeling but since she was the one who brought her here, there was no escaping now.
“Are you really a couple? You look so perfect together.”
‘Perfect… why don’t you take a closer look at Lando right now before saying that?’
‘If anyone knew the truth, their first reaction would be to call the police and have me arrested—fraternizing in the real world is a serious offense.’
But putting that aside, from hair color to physique, Su Mu and Lando surprisingly complemented each other, looking even more like a perfect match together.
“In that case, come over and take a photo. You’re the first couple to join today’s event and there’s a mysterious grand prize.”
The manager wheeled over a large whiteboard with a peach-colored background, motioning for them to stand in front.
Lando immediately grabbed Su Mu and pulled her over.
The small girl’s strength was surprisingly fierce, showing just how much she wanted to participate.
Even just posing for the camera, Su Mu already felt a little shy and tried to turn her head away.
Her throat moved as she swallowed lightly.
The palm holding hers tingled slightly, as if a faint sweat was breaking out.
“Look over here, make a heart with your hands~”
At this, Lando brought her small hand close.
Her hand was noticeably smaller than Su Mu’s, so the heart shape probably looked a bit off.
Su Mu’s fingers trembled lightly as she completed the missing half.
She still instinctively avoided the camera, but the manager took advantage and captured a perfect shot.
The pink-haired girl blushed, her shy profile glowing, paired with the blue-haired girl’s charming smile.
As they formed the heart, their other hands remained tightly intertwined.
The tender feelings between the girls quietly warmed in the sweet atmosphere.
“Absolutely perfect. Here’s your photo, and as a bonus, a milk tea set—Peach Four Seasons and Blueberry Fruit Tea.”
Su Mu looked at the photo in disbelief and suddenly felt an urge to connect more deeply.
‘No, no, what am I thinking?’
“Hmm, this tastes good. Su Mu, you try some.”
Lando brought the straw to Su Mu’s lips, who instinctively took it.
‘Why would there be taste in a dreamscape? Could it mean I’m sinking in… No, isn’t this practically an indirect kiss?’
But Su Mu was no longer alarmed; her tongue even lightly touched the straw.
It really was sweet, making it hard to let go.
“Delicious.”
“Right? I also want to try your flavor.”
Looking at Su Mu expectantly, Lando smiled gently.
Su Mu lowered her head slightly and said softly, “If you want to know, you should try it for yourself.”
Still, she handed over her Peach Four Seasons tea.
Lando took a delicate sip and then said, “Su Mu, you really are gentle. I don’t remember how we met, but this I remember clearly.”
Hearing this, Su Mu bashfully bit her lip.
‘Talking about how we met right now is probably still a bit awkward. I’m not as gentle as you say.’
Though she protested, inside Su Mu a small voice kept urging Lando to keep talking.
Keep going, the reward might just be getting closer to you.
Mouse really likes sincere compliments.
“Really soft, really warm.”
Lando lightly brushed her hand over her chest, looking like she was savoring the feeling.
Hey, so this is what you meant by gentle?
Su Mu quietly withdrew her fingers.
“I want to know more about you, Su Mu. Curious about every secret of yours, and to create more memories together, just like today.”
Saying something almost like a confession, Lando lifted her gaze, her eyes reflecting only Su Mu’s face, flushed almost to the point of bleeding.
‘Nervous or hesitant, none of it could stand between me and her.’
Unlike with Luo Linglan, Luo Jialan never had any awkward feelings toward Su Mu from start to finish.
Like for like, once you recognize it, the only thing she worried about was how Su Mu would feel.
‘Would she notice when I’m craving her body? With how obvious I am, it’d be a miracle if she didn’t.’
Su Mu quietly sipped the fruit tea, using the chill to soothe the restless heart Lando had stirred.
‘Why does this girl, with no memories, still hit me with such a direct, powerful shot? Xiao Chu Nan really can’t handle this.’
Perhaps it’s because there are no memories right now, only feelings, making her so passionate and unrestrained.
Damn.
Lando’s words stabbed straight into Su Mu’s heart, leaving her helpless to resist.
To her, the sentence sounded just like “I want to be close to you,” with roughly the same meaning—but said outright like this, it was impossible to refuse.
“There will be a chance.”
“Lots of chances? Every day?”
Su Mu listened as Lando’s tone grew more excited, and her shame rose along with it.
“Anyway, there will be. Don’t overthink it.”
“But I just want to stay with you like this, all the time.”
Oh, so that’s what she meant… then never mind…
Little Lando really has no idea what she’s saying.
‘I was the one who misread it from the start!’
“Ahem, if that’s all, then of course it’s fine.”
Watching Su Mu cough lightly to cover her embarrassment, the next moment, Lando said something that made her cough even harder.
“Great! Then let’s kiss right now!”
