Chapter 299 Your Mom Might Still Be Alive

 

Mu Xiaomu sized up Xie Xiu for some moment before agreeing to the casual dinner. Xie Xiu proposed either Chinese or western cuisine. Mu Xiaomu was excited to hear about having Chinese food, so she went for it without hesitation.

 

Then, Xie Xiu brought the two of them to a Chinese restaurant. Mu Zhi let Mu Xiaomu take the order first. As soon as Mu Xiaomu got the menu, she ordered a serve of squirrel fish before moving onto the rest.

 

When the fish was served, Mu Zhi could not help but wonder out aloud at the fish’s appearance. She asked, “Are people from your country accustomed to having this dish?”

Upon finishing her question, Mu Zhi was suddenly reminded of Lu Jinye. The woman of his memories loved squirrel fish too. So he offered to her some as supper.

“This is a common fish, but most importantly, it’s my mother’s favorite.”

 
 
 
 
 
 

Mu Xiaomu would always order squirrel fish when she missed her mother.

After witnessing her emotional breakdown a few days ago, Mu Zhi knew better than to bring up the topic of Mu Xiaomu’s mother. Thus, she steered the subject away yet another time, “This dish looks quite complicated to prepare.”

“Yeah, I don’t know how to make that.”

 

Mu Xiaomu chuckled.

As the other dishes were served, Mu Xiaomu helped Mu Zhi to some of those, and they appeared to get along pretty well.

Mu Xiaomu had very little knowledge of Xie Xiu when she was little, so she could not recognize him.

 

Meanwhile, it had not occurred to Xie Xiu who Mu Xiaomu was to Mu Zhi. However, after observing their interaction for a while, he asked casually, “What’s your name?”

“Mu Xiaomu.”

Mu Zhi answered before Mu Xiaomu had the chance to.

While Mu Xiaomu nodded in acknowledgement only to find Xie Xiu peering at both her and Mu Zhi.
