Chapter 145: You Look So Pitiful Today (2 in 1)

Waking up in the morning in a slightly ungainly position.

All night long, I was surrounded by the faint smell of milk, dreaming of running through spring meadows, with tenderness lingering on my neck and shoulders, making it hard to wake up.

It wasn't until the sun shone in the room from the window that Shen Yu felt in a daze a warm soft mass in his palm, which he grasped hard and was still flexible.

When he opened his eyes, he found Bai Xiaomeng looking at him with a grimace

"Meow?"

This is outrageous! Smelling her and grabbing my meow's ass, how in the world could it be so good!

Bai Xiaomeng jumped out of his bed in a huff and never slept with him again!

Shen Yu rubbed his eyes and put the scarf on his pillow away, he cherished the scent on it, Li Xiang was away for a while and had to rely on the scarf to get by.

He turned on his mobile phone to check the time, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, he had obviously slept for so long, but instead of feeling refreshed, he felt weak, and when he woke up, his heart was empty, as if something was missing.

Shen Yu casually changed his clothes and got up to go to the bathroom to wash up.

As he walked out of the room, he realised where that empty feeling had come from.

The house was quiet and he was used to opening the door every morning and being greeted with Shen Yu Good Morning.

There was no her waiting on the sofa, no her cooking breakfast in the kitchen, no her drying clothes on the balcony, no her washing the mop in the bathroom, not even her sleeping in her room

It was so quiet that you could hear the wall clock ticking on the wall, so much so that Shen Yu froze in place, forgetting how he had walked out of the room four months earlier.

"Xiaomeng I?"

"What's wrong?"

Finally hearing her voice, Shen Yu felt a little more refreshed.

"Why didn't you say hello to me when I woke up?"

"Because it's always Li Xiang who does it."

"Then say hello to me before she comes back, do you remember what she said?"

"Shen Yu! Good morning!"

"Morning."

Shen Yu was satisfied that although it was not as good as the original factory greeting from Li Xiang, it had at least restored a lot of energy to him, and he had never realised that a seemingly ordinary good morning was the source of his energy for the whole day.

As he brushed his teeth, he took out his phone again to look at it.

Li Xiang, what's he doing in Yokohama? It's 9 o'clock here, it's 10 o'clock on her side, she should be up by now, it's been so long and she hasn't sent him a message, does she want him to find her?

Then she was really overthinking it!

Shen Yu was furious and put his phone back in his pocket.

After washing up, Shen Yu turned on the washing machine and took her clothes out onto the balcony to dry, and to her surprise, she couldn't find the clips!

So without saying a word, I took out my phone, opened WeChat and sent a message to her at the top of my contacts, "Where did you put the clip for your socks, why can't I find it?"

After waiting for a while, Li Xiang sent him a message back.

Luo Yan's voice: " Shen Yu is so silly, the clips are hanging next to the hangers, you didn't even see that"

Sinking Fish: "You just got up?"

Luo Yan's voice: "Yeah right, I felt so sleepy so I slept a bit more, what are you doing?"

Shen Yu listened carefully to her voice and could still detect that her voice was slightly lower than usual, as if one of her nostrils was blocked, and at first she thought she had just woken up, but now it sounded like she had a cold.

Sinking Fish: "You have a cold?"

Luo Yan: "Hmmm"

Shen Yu was so angry with her that he sent her a voice message, and his tone seemed a bit angry: "Yesterday you were fine, why did you catch a cold as soon as you got back? Have you taken your medicine?"

Luo Yan: "Maybe it's the water that's uncomfortable"

Sinking Fish: "?"

It seems that Li Xiang is really sick, it's not like he's going on a trip, but he's still uncomfortable at home? Why don't we stay at Sunan from now on?

Luo Yan's voice: "It's okay, I slept under the blanket last night, I might have caught a cold, mum has bought me cold medicine, I'll be fine after taking it, I used to catch colds when I was little."

Sinking Fish: "Proud of yourself?"

Luo Yan's voice: "No, how did Shen Yu know I had a cold?"

Sinking Fish: "Heard it."

Luo Yan voice: "So, it's because Shen Yu is listening to me very carefully, right?"

Sinking Fish: "Boring, I'm going to have breakfast."

Probably because she had hit a nerve, Shen Yu stopped talking to her, put her clothes in the sun and went to the kitchen to open the fridge door.

There were noodles and meat and vegetables in it, but unfortunately there was a girl missing who cooked for him.

Shen Yu then went downstairs to Auntie Wang's house to eat noodles in soup.

Today, on Sunday, Su Zhifu is helping out at the family's small noodle shop instead of going to school, which is actually more fun when you're at school, and working at home when you're not, but Puffs still likes not going to school, she just likes working.

While Shen Yu was eating his noodles, Su Zhifu brought a milk bun over to him and sat down in the chair opposite him, folding his hands on the table and resting his chin on his arm again, his big eyes staring at him curiously.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Shen Yu was uncomfortable with the way she looked at him.

Su Zhifu sighed and said, " Brother Shen Yu, I suddenly feel sorry for you."

Shen Yu almost choked on his bun and said breathlessly, "What's so pathetic about me?"

"Li Xiang, my sister doesn't want you anymore, she's gone home."

Su Zhifu said, "You are just as pathetic as Yu Xiaoyu in our class, because her best friend broke up with her, so she looks just like you, alone at school, alone after school, alone in the toilet, she looks so pathetic".

"Can it be the same?"

"Why is it different?"

Shen Yu said, "Then before your sister Li Xiang came, wasn't I alone too?"

"Right."

"And did you feel sorry for me then?"

"No pity."

"Now what?"

"Poor thing."

"You go over there and clear the table, I don't want to see you."

"Hmph! Then Brother Shen Yu you're even more pathetic!"

Su Zhifu went over there to collect the tables, occasionally casting a pitying glance at him.

Shen Yu doesn't know what the problem is either.

But whether he admits it or not, he did feel a bit lonely after waking up this morning, and always felt as if the whole world was much quieter.

How can it be like this when it is clear that you are just back to where you were four months ago?

Not only does he feel uncomfortable, but even Puffs finds him as pathetic as Yu Xiaoyu

Shen Yu also feels sorry for Yu Xiaoyu, but he doesn't have to be so sorry for himself.

So after eating the noodles, Shen Yu tweeted to Ke Liangji, "Let's go to the city library later?"

If he has friends from high school, he goes to play basketball, and if not, he hangs out with Ke Liangji or Zhao Yage in the library.

Ke Liangji was quick to reply, "I'm not available, though I'd like to go."

Shen Yu then sent the same message to Zhao Yage and received a simple two-word reply, "Not available."

So I asked Ke Liangji, "What are you doing? Did you finish your last project, are you free today?"

Ke Liangji: "I'm moving, I'm moving out of the dormitory, I've found an apartment, it's in the street next to yours, why don't you come and help me move in?"

Sinking Fish: "Okay, I'll drive."

Shen Yu went over to the school to help him move, and on the way he kept muttering that Ke Liangji had lost his relationship with him, and that he had never heard him mention such a big thing as moving out of school, and that he had found a house next door to his house, which Shen Yu had no idea about.

When I arrived at the school, I went to Ke Liangji's dormitory. He didn't have a lot of stuff, it was all sorted, just a quilt, a box of books, a box of clothes and, oh, a box of beautiful handicrafts.

Since he started chasing Zhao Yage, he started to break up with his second wife one by one, and all these figures were put up for sale on the internet, and the remaining ones that didn't sell, he had to give them away.

"I thought you were looking for a new house, so there's nothing wrong with bringing these hand-me-downs and putting them there, right?"

"It's going to kill me! Brother Duck saw that it had to kill me!"

"Let's go then, that's all there is, we'll be able to get there in one trip."

Shen Yu helped him carry the blanket and bucket and was about to go downstairs when Ke Liangji stopped him, "Wait a minute, I have a driver appointment, there is a lot of stuff at Brother Duck later, let's go there together."

Shen Yu was stunned until Ke Liangji explained to him, "You're living with Yage?"

"Yeah, don't get me wrong, we don't live in a single room, like you guys, we got a two-bedroom house and share the rent and utilities"

"No, you're alone, why are you living together? Is this convenient?"

"Don't you live with Li Xiang too?"

"That I that is is"

"What's the difference?"

Shen Yu couldn't say a word to the contrary, because he and Li Xiang were innocent, so it didn't matter if they lived together, so naturally it made sense for Zhao Yage and Ke Liangji to live together.

Unless Shen Yu admits that he is having an affair with Li Xiang.

"Brother Duck mentions it, you think I want to"

Ke Liangji helplessly said: "She said you and Li Xiang also live together, so I live with her also does not matter, after all, I do not dare to do anything to her, plus in the dormitory is also inconvenient, we are both together to do projects, live together with work and other convenience, usually free time can also be at home to cook and eat or something, what do you think? "

"It's pretty good."

Shen Yu has mixed feelings. It seems that Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage are really coming together, leaving him alone as a dog in the once single trio.

"Eh? Where's Li Xiang? Didn't she have to stick to you all day? Why are you so free to ask us both to go to the library today?"

Ke Liangji, who has been a great help to Shen Yu, has again rubbed salt into his heart.

"She's gone back to Yokohama."

Shen Yu said, emphasising again that she was not being abandoned: "It's just going back for New Year, I'll be back soon."

"So that's it, no wonder you look so miserable today, but it's okay, it's best for us both, I'll walk you to the library after we move later."

""

Shen Yu feels that even his luck has gone down when Li Xiang is not around.

We helped Ke Liangji carry his things to the entrance of the school and Zhao Yage, with the help of his housemates, also carried all his things down.

When I saw Shen Yu, the first thing Zhao Yage said was, "Where is Li Xiang? Why are you alone?"

He didn't know if he hadn't washed his face today, so how come everyone who saw him felt sorry for him when he was alone?

At first he was quite confident, but after talking to more people, I guess, even he felt sorry for himself. The world was noisy and noisy, but he was surrounded by peace and quiet, and every time he subconsciously turned around, he didn't see that familiar silhouette.

"Why can't I be alone? If you want her, you can ask her."

"Well, isn't she always clinging to you, you two having a falling out?"

"She's gone back for New Year's Eve."

"Not coming back?"

Shen Yu was impatient and said repeatedly, "Who said she wouldn't come back? She's only going back for a few days! She'll be back on the fifth!"

"Ohhhh."

Zhao Yage looked at him twice, and Shen Yu could see the pity in her gaze

Presumably to take care of his mood and to avoid making him feel lost by mentioning Li Xiang, both Zhao Yage and Ke Liangji have stopped mentioning Li Xiang.

Why don't you mention her again? I don't care! Say something!

If they didn't say anything, Shen Yu had to say it himself.

"She's, as usual, annoying. She's back home and she keeps calling me, which I don't even want to answer."

"It's just going back for a few days, and always saying I want to come back sooner, how cool is it that I'm living by myself, huh huh"

Zhao Yage and Ke Liangji said yes repeatedly with a look of I'm sympathetic.

The more they did this, the more Shen Yu held back, unable to say any of the lines she had planned in her mind.

Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage live in a self-built house on the third floor, and the rent is 1,500 without electricity and water.

Both Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage's belongings were packed before they arrived, so they were ready to move in straight away.

Looking at the spacious kitchen, Zhao Yage was eager to try it out.

"Chicken Girl, you're in charge of cooking from now on! I don't know how to cook! You do the dishes too! I'm afraid of breaking the dishes."

"Zhao Yage you don't get too good at it."

Shen Yu sat on the sofa playing with his phone. Li Xiang didn't ask him to talk to him, and he didn't want to ask her to talk to him, so he just kept scrolling through the chat logs.

Zhao Yage carried Ke Liangji's collar opening and called out to Shen Yu on the sofa, " Shen Yu, let's have lunch together today, we'll go shopping for food first, you rest here."

The three of them used to eat together, but now, unlike in the past, Shen Yu still feels uncomfortable eating with them in their home.

"I'd better go home and eat."

"Who's going to cook for you when you go home? Don't go back! You don't trust Chicken Girl's cooking?"

If Shen Yu had his choice again, he would never eat the meal that Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage cooked together, a meal he will never forget.

Not to mention the fact that it's hard to eat, but the key is to keep getting inexplicable things shoved into your mouth.

For example, if Zhao Yage didn't eat anything, she would put it in Ke Liangji's bowl for him to eat, which reminded Shen Yu of Li Xiang, so he silently ate Ke Liangji's fried chicken skin without saying a word, like an old man fishing alone in the cold river snow

When he got home, Shen Yu lay down on the sofa, somewhat disoriented, and picked up the cat's ear mug from the coffee table and spent a long time in silence.

He took a deep breath, took out his phone, opened WeChat, clicked on the top chat contact and typed a few words on the input box: What are you doing? Are you feeling better?

Just as I was about to send it, a message from Li Xiang arrived first.

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

Her mood, which had been low all day, immediately perked up with these words.

Shen Yu hurriedly deleted the typed words from the box and retyped, "I just got back from helping Liangji and the others move out, are you feeling better from the cold?"

Li Xiang is also suffocating!!!

She hasn't spoken to Shen Yu for six whole hours!!!

She wanted to talk to him, but her mother told her to be reserved, and then the mother and daughter went to cook together. Li Xiang was distracted until now, when she returned to her room, she couldn't resist messaging Shen Yu to find him.

Li Xiang is not the same as Shen Yu, she will send him a message as soon as she wants to talk to him, being reserved and all that makes her feel too bad, much worse than a cold.

Whenever she speaks to Shen Yu, she immediately feels energized and her cold is mostly gone.

Luo Yan Voice: " Shen Yu, can we video together?"

While Li Xiang was thinking of a reason to help Shen Yu find a video, Shen Yu initiated a video call to her.

An unprecedented first! Shen Yu has actually initiated a video call to her!

Li Xiang was so happy that she rolled on the bed and got on the video invitation in a hurry.

Shen Yu was likewise a little excited, probably because the series of hiccups today had made him eager to see her.

Yesterday, when she had just left, Shen Yu did not feel too much, but today, when he turned around several times and did not see her beside him, he could not contain his emotions.

The video came through and her face appeared on the phone, with soft hair, a small nose and big, twinkling eyes

Shen Yu suddenly thought she was very pretty and just stared at her for a long time, like a wooden man who didn't move.

"Shen Yu? Shen Yu ?"

"Huh weird screen is stuck why does it look like this"

Li Xiang thought the screen was stuck, so she pursed her lips and furrowed her brows together, and scratched her head, wondering if she should make the video call all over again.

Until she saw Shen Yu blink

Her pretty face immediately flushed.

"Bugger off!"
