Chapter 143: The Great Secret Hidden in the Room (2 in 1)

Being alone in a lovely young girl's room is a thrill.

Of course, Shen Yu is not going to do anything strange.

He simply stood quietly in Li Xiang's room for a moment, gently sitting down beside her bed and gazing in awe at the room's furnishings, which had been filled with her scent for only four months.

A room is a very private place and, apart from the kind of situation where someone checks it from time to time, the layout of each person's room will always reflect the most realistic state of a person.

At first, Shen Yu had no interest in Li Xiang at all, but gradually, whether he wanted to admit it or not, he seemed more curious about her, always peeking in to see what she was doing, or to get to know her in his own way.

Maybe Li Xiang sneaks into his room when he's not home and does something bad too!

He's not as sick as Li Xiang!

In Shen Yu's opinion, Li Xiang's room is messy, not in the sense of being cluttered, but in the sense that there are a lot of things in it, but each of them is neatly placed in its place, filling up the small space.

For example, the pile of figurines that Shen Yu had won back for her on her bed, neatly arranged against the side of the wall, the Christmas present of a woolly bear, also stripped of its jumper and sitting against the wall, her school books and drawing books on the shelf of her desk, and a slender vase of flowers on the desktop with a lily he had given her the day before.

The whole room had a very warm and lovely feel to it, and he rubbed his fingers over the desk and floor, which were clean and spotless.

Shen Yu gets up, walks over to her desk and picks up her textbook and looks through it.

On it are the notes she left behind, written in Chinese, the first pages of which are written in Chinese notes with the handwriting of a primary or secondary school student, and in the later pages she became more and more skilled at writing Chinese, gradually taking on her own style, with tiny little fonts and lovely rounded strokes.

Probably because she was often dazed in class, she always had some very Q-tip sketches in her textbook, sometimes a kitten, sometimes a puppy or a bunny.

I don't know what I was smiling at, but when I saw her writing and drawing, it was natural to smile, as if I could see her lying at her desk, biting her pencil, writing and drawing.

He put the textbook back and picked up another one centimetre thick copybook, Li Xiang's usual draft paper, the cover was so clean that the creases were not even visible, and if he hadn't flipped through the pages and seen the original sketches and word records inside, Shen Yu would have thought it was a new book.

The first ten pages or so are pretty normal sketches of paintings, as well as some inspirational essays, and she has an unusual way of recording inspiration, sometimes a word, like armour? comb? Or if she can't think of the right word, she will use a few lines that Shen Yu doesn't understand.

Shen Yu came across a hand-drawn map by Li Xiang, with terms such as home school, fresh supermarket, duck neck shop and stinky tofu shop marked on it.

Even though she was extremely bad at location perception, she still revised the map very carefully, she relied on this to recognize the road, she had to draw it herself to understand it, and every time she went to a place, she had to make a map marker at the new location, for example, when she went to the old town, she felt as if the car was driving to the right, so the old town was marked on the right side of her home, while in fact after the road turned a few corners, the old town is on the left side of the house

Shen Yu looked so angry and funny, how could there be such a silly girl?

Li Xiang had never told him about this, and it was only when he came into her room today and snooped that he found out.

When you get to the back, there are more strange words and lines, not exactly the usual comic inspiration, like something like cis-martian love and other nonsense, and Shen Yu looks confused and wonders what the hell is going on in her head, what she's thinking all day long.

As he scrolled further back, Shen Yu saw his name.

Shen Yu Shen Yu Shen Yu Shen Yu Almost three pages densely packed with two repeated words Shen Yu

The traces of the colour of the ink used in the pen show that the words were not written at the same time; some were written in blue pen, some in pencil and some in fountain pen, and it seems that when she thought of the name, she would turn the book over to these pages and write the two words down.

Shen Yu reached out and gently rubbed her hand over the paper and could feel the slightly bumpy surface of the paper, writing his name with great force, which was a completely different state of mind than the words she had casually written down earlier.

I think she's practicing her handwriting

Shen Yu told himself this.

There is a vague feeling that you should not turn over any more, that there is a big danger of a pot waiting for you back there.

He was tempted to put the handbill back on the shelf, but couldn't resist continuing to turn down the page.

So on the dozen pages following his name he saw portrait after portrait of him.

The same sketches, some in pencil, others in oil, show the man sometimes in front, sometimes in profile, especially the eyes, which she always puts more ink on, and in the bottom right corner of the drawing, his name and the date and weather of the day.

"She's practising her painting, I think?"

"But why did you paint me?"

"She likes me! Asaba Li Xiang She likes me!"

In his head, however, he had already given the answer, which he subconsciously wanted to deny, but he felt somehow happy?

Even my heart was beating so fast that it popped out of my throat, as if I was in a blank world where all I could hear was my own inner voice in my ears.

"What do I do if she really likes me? What am I going to do?"

The rusty, tattered and battered Zanzibar stood up trembling: "Of course I refuse! Shen Yu, what are you hesitating about?"

"Take the phone and question her now, even if she doesn't confess, you have enough reasons to prove she likes you, then reject her brutally! Make her cry all night long! No, no! Better yet, break her heart so badly that she won't be coming back to Yokohama this time!"

"Don't hesitate! You've finally found your chance! Jump out of the pot now!

Shen Yu dropped the sword in his hand like hell, clutching his head and murmuring, "Shut up, she never confessed to me.

"Shen Yu! You're crazy! Pick me up! You're going to die if you keep this up!"

"I'm not crazy I'm sober she hasn't said anything how can I refuse her I have no reason to refuse her"

Shen Yu's heart had never been so shaken, and his mind was now filled with the drawings in the handwritten book. He could feel something, but was afraid to admit it.

What to say? What should I tell her? What should I tell her?

If Li Xiang liked him, she would have confessed, given her nature! He was ready to say no!

But she just won't say anything. Shen Yu feels like he has nowhere to turn, or maybe he's subconsciously aware of it, but hasn't been able to convince himself, so he pretends he doesn't know anything?

Or is it that one has actually fallen for her but has been afraid to admit it inside, or even more frighteningly that perhaps she really means nothing else and is entirely a figment of one's own wishful thinking?

"So you're into her?"

"I don't know, I'm a bit messed up. Give me a minute to think."

"Don't even think about it! Haven't you noticed? When I asked you if you liked her, your first reaction wasn't to say no, but to wonder? Any later and you'll be cooked! Wake up!"

As Shen Yu's mind was wandering, the door to the closed room clicked open

He was so startled that he felt his heart stop, even his breathing stuttered, and subconsciously he hid the handwritten book in his hand behind him.

"Meow?"

Bai Xiaomeng releases his paws from the door handle and jumps down to look at Shen Yu curiously.

Shen Yu was scared to death, it was like being caught doing something bad in someone's room, his heart was pounding like crazy.

Shen Yu was relieved to see that it was Bai Xiaomeng, but he was also relieved to see that it was Bai Xiaomeng.

"You scared the shit out of me."

"Meow wow?"

"Don't come in, it's dangerous here."

"Meow?"

He hastily put Li Xiang's codex back on the shelf, in the exact order in which it had been arranged so that she wouldn't notice, and even carefully adjusted the angle at which it was tilted back to its original position.

On the way out, it was like being a thief, double-checking that no strange things like footprints or fingerprints had been left behind.

Shen Yu is weak, more weak than ever!

He regrets that he had to go through Li Xiang's stuff and got himself scared.

It's a good thing Li Xiang isn't with him now, but if the day came when she said she liked him, Shen Yu didn't know what she would choose.

He needs a moment to calm down, and whether Shen Yu wants to admit it or not, subconsciously he's almost certain that Li Xiang really likes him, but he doesn't know how to decide

It is reasonable to assume that four months ago, such questions would have been a no-brainer, but now they are a mess.

"Wait, wait, wait. She'll confess. I'll just wait. I'm just imagining things."

Li Xiang had no idea that her carefully prepared feast of frogs cooked in warm water would be turned up by the pages of names and drawings left by the careless, directly increasing the heat of the water to the frog's threshold of tolerance, and if the frog hadn't covered the pot itself, it would have popped just a little.

Luo Yan: " Did Shen Yu collect my clothes?"

While lazing on the sofa, Shen Yu received her message, but was still in a state of weakness and did not reply to her for a while.

So Li Xiang called again, and Shen Yu was even more afraid to answer, hanging up on her video request before typing back to her.

Sinking Fish: "Put it away, put it on your bed, and put it away yourself when you come back."

Luo Yan: "Uh-huh!"

Luo Yan: " Shen Yu, what are you doing, can we video?"

Sinker: "What's the video all day long? Doesn't the traffic cost anything?"

Luo Yan: "Doubtful Doubtful"

Luo Yan: " Has Shen Yu been doing strange things in secret while I'm away?"

When he saw the news, Shen Yu was so scared that he couldn't even hold his phone. Li Xiang is quite silly, but he is a lucky dog after all, and his sixth sense is so accurate.

Sinking Fish: "Oh, who would be as sick as you"

Luo Yan: " Shen Yu is the sickest!"

Sinking Fish: "I don't want to talk to you right now."

Shen Yu's forehead was sweating, even though the heating was not too high, and he was too weak to talk to her, but she wanted to talk to him.

Luo Yan: "No, just talk to me, I'm bored by myself."

Sinking Fish: "Not looking for friends to play with?"

Luo Yan's voice: "It's cold outside, I don't want to go out, I'll go shopping with Sae tomorrow, I have a lot of shopping to do! What about you? What are you going to do tomorrow?"

Today is Saturday and tomorrow is Sunday, and Shen Yu's time is all scheduled for work if she is not at home.

Li Xiang started off typing, but as she chatted, she started to send her voice. Girls, especially when chatting with someone close, like to use voice because it can be repeated all the time, and when it's quiet, listening to the other person's voice, it feels like he's talking in your ear, and you can hear the sound of breathing, and it's a wonderful experience when you close your eyes.

Shen Yu was listening intently to her voice right now, from which he could clearly perceive not only her breathing and vocal cord vibrations, but also the sound of water?

Sinking Fish voice: "I have to work tomorrow, aren't you home? Why do I still hear the sound of water?"

Shen Yu sent her a voice, which was a perfect match for Li Xiang, who was taking a bath at the moment, and when she heard his voice, she felt as if he had come into the bathroom, and her face turned red.

Luo Yan Voice: "I'm taking a bath"

Shen Yu's mind automatically conjured up images of Li Xiang taking a bath, and he was speechless, "Then you just called me on the video!"

Luo Yan's voice: " Shen Yu is really thinking about weird stuff all day! Of course I'm turning off the camera! Big pervert!"

Sinking Fish: "Who cares to watch you take a bath."

There is a bathtub at home, and it is big enough for two people to take a bath together, but Shen Yu has never used it, it was used for goldfish before, and since Li Xiang arrived, she has been using it all the time.

He switched back to typing and poked around Li Xiang's codex to find out what she thought about his name and portrait.

Sinking Fish: "Do you usually draw portraits very often?"

Luo Yan's voice: "Yeah, it's a very basic exercise!"

Sinker: "What kind of portraits do you mainly paint?"

Luo Yan Voice: "Well, the ones with features, like very good looking boys, very good looking girls."

OK.

There are already enough reasons for peace of mind.

Shen Yu is not going to ask any more questions.

He had got the answer he wanted: because Li Xiang needed a lot of portrait practice and it was known that he was handsome, it was only natural that Li Xiang should paint him.

Luo Yan Voice: " Shen Yu Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Sinking Fish: "Oh, I'll just ask, I'd like to learn how to draw some day."

Luo Yan Voice: "Then I'll teach you when I get back! We'll draw together!"

Sinking Fish: "Oh, next time for sure."

After finishing the chat, Shen Yu took a change of clothes to the bath and for the first time in years chose to take a bath in the large tub available for two.

He soaked in the warm water like a big frog, closing his eyes and enjoying it.

The water is a bit hot but the bath is very comfortable
