Chapter 146: Let me spend New Year's Eve with you if you dare

"Oi oi? Can Strange see me? Hello?"

Shen Yu played crazy and tapped the camera with a strange look on his face.

"Shen Yu is the worst! You, you tease me!"

Asaba Li Xiang blushed red, shy and annoyed, and patted him on the phone screen.

She had just thought her phone was jammed, but it turned out to be Shen Yu pretending to be disconnected and staring at her motionlessly for a long time.

In fact, the girl was happy, but she couldn't help but feel shy, after all, she had just thought the line had been disconnected, and she had been embarrassed to see him scratching his ears in a hurry!

"What the hell, I just got really disconnected and I can't even see you"

"Big liar, obviously I just watched you blink!"

"Who cares to look at you?"

"You've got it, you've got it!"

Hearing her voice and seeing her look, still so dainty, the mood that had been down all day finally brightened up like the sunshine outside the house.

Shen Yu can be seen in the image, still wearing her pyjamas, a white background with a blue cartoon doll as an embellishment, sitting on her bed with her phone propped up on the bed, her hands on her knees, her head hidden behind her folded arms, and a pink and white quilt wrapped around her body, like the emoji.

Because the face is pressed against the arm, the flesh of the cheeks is squeezed together and it looks very cute.

She stared at the screen without moving, and Shen Yu didn't answer when she spoke to her, stuck like he did, peeking at him brightly.

"The internet is bad, I'm hanging up."

"No no no."

Hearing Shen Yu's words, Li Xiang rushed to move.

"You're still sleeping? Why are you still in your pyjamas?"

"My pyjamas are warm because it's just me and mum at home today and I'm not going out, so I'm not changing."

"Are you feeling better from your cold?"

"It's fine now, I just sneezed, I've heard that when you sneeze, that's when someone is thinking about me, and I don't know if that's true"

When she spoke, she would peek her little face out from behind her arm, her little nose still a little red, probably rubbed from sneezing, and when she had finished speaking she would shrink her little face back behind her arm, which was hugging her knees, and show only her big eyes to look at him.

"Of course it's fake, sneezing because you've got a cold, who's going to miss you?"

"Didn't even Shen Yu miss me?"

"I'm least likely to miss you, I don't know how happy I am when you're not at home, sleeping until nine o'clock and working with no one to disturb me, it's so free"

"So that's it!"

Li Xiang has long since figured out Shen Yu's way of speaking, and his words have to be heard in reverse.

"What are you happy about?"

Shen Yu looked at her speechlessly, she was still happy as a fool even though she had said such a desperate thing.

"You still don't allow me to be happy, do you? Hmm."

Li Xiang poked her tongue out at the camera so slightly that Shen Yu started to remember if she had just said the wrong thing.

Shen Yu is a very wooden conversation, he does not know what to talk about, in fact, just want to see her, listen to her voice, sometimes by her stare for a long time, will feel a little hot skin, and then some panic, do not dare to meet her eyes, gaze drifted from side to side

He is the kind of person who wants to say something but doesn't know how to express his feelings, or is afraid to express them, so he has to test the waters little by little as if he is walking on thin ice, but unknowingly walks into the swamp, and when he wants to pull out, he realises that he seems to be sinking deeper and deeper.

Li Xiang, on the other hand, is the opposite of him, as she is always chattering away whenever she connects with him on video or voice, which makes it easier for Shen Yu to keep him from struggling with what to talk about, as he subconsciously doesn't want to hang up the video call.

"Did Shen Yu just say you were helping Liangji move? He doesn't live at school anymore?"

"Well, he and Yage moved out together and now live on the street next to our house, the two of them together."

"I can't believe we're all living together!!! Si pot to!!!"

Li Xiang was astonished by the news and her eyes were wide and round.

"So are they together? Did Yage say yes to Liangji's advances?"

Shen Yu replied with an odd look on her face, "Why do we have to stay together if we live together, don't we live together too?"

"Oh that's right we're both innocent enough, Shen Yu don't get any strange ideas about me."

"I think it's you who has strange ideas about me, isn't it?"

Shen Yu almost blurted out that he had found her writing his name and drawing his portrait in her room yesterday, only to feel his heart pounding and he forgot what he wanted to say after he wanted to say it again and again.

"I'm not!"

Li Xiang hurriedly denied it, this time without showing her little face from behind her arms as she spoke, for her face was already red.

Shen Yu said meaningfully, "You'd better not think strangely of me, I'm sure I'll say no. Of course I don't mean you, neither do other girls, I don't think about such things until I'm thirty."

I don't know if it was a weakness, but he spoke more and more quietly.

Li Xiang didn't seem to care at all and said to him with a smile, "I know, we had a bet last time, I bet Shen Yu will be married and have a baby as cute as a porcelain doll before she turns 30!"

"I didn't promise to bet with you."

"Hmph, Shen Yu There's no use playing games, I've prayed to Lord Martian! I won't lose this bet!"

"Can't your Lord Martian still give me a wife?"

"Of course, Lord Martian can do anything."

"You're just bragging, it's all just coincidence."

"What if I wish that you would come to Yokohama to spend New Year's with me?"

Shen Yu was relieved to come down and was also amused by her naive streak. He didn't have the courage to bet before, but there was no way he was going to lose this time!

"I have a passport but no visa, and it's too late to get a visa, so if you can get a ticket and visa delivered to me, I'll go to Yokohama to spend New Year's with you!

"You said it!"

"I said it."

Even if Bad luck, there is always a day when he can turn it around. He doesn't believe that he will lose to this foolish girl with her naive body in front of the hard facts.

Li Xiang listened, hummed softly, closed his eyes, folded his hands, and prayed reverently to Lord Mars in front of Shen Yu.

"Lord Mars has promised me! Shen Yu you just get ready to come over and spend New Year's with me!"

"The Bean"

Presumably both felt that such a thing could not happen, and Shen Yu in particular did not take it to heart.

But after this little episode, even though Shen Yu couldn't fly to Yokohama to spend New Year's Eve with her, Li Xiang seemed much happier, after all he promised to come if he had a ticket and a visa, in case a miracle happened.

"Shen Yu, Shen Yu "

Li Xiang called out to him, and again when she spoke in that tone of voice, she must have asked him for something, and if she had been around, she might have grabbed him by the scruff of his neck.

"What's wrong?"

"It's just that I'll contact you at a fixed time every day, okay?"

"Contact once a day? OK."

"No, no, it's nine o'clock in the morning, twelve o'clock at noon, six o'clock at night, and I want to talk to you before I go to bed."

"Where's all the talk? You're bored?"

"Because I can only talk to one person at a time, if I talk to Sae, I can't talk to you, but I want to talk to you, and Shen Yu knows that, I'm so nosy. If we have a fixed time, we can do our own thing at other times.

Li Xiang is a girl of the arts and feels that it's better to fix a certain time to go to him so she can be ready for the mood than to go to him whenever she thinks of him and he happens to be unavailable.

Shen Yu always feels like she's cooking him, but it's not a no-no. After all, like today, she hasn't been contacting him, making him so upset that he thinks something has happened to her. It's very disruptive to work.

"What are you doing at home today? Painting?"

"I'm cooking with my mum and it's delicious! I've learnt two new dishes from her and I'll make them for you to try when we get back."

Li Xiang also sent him photos of some beautiful dishes, which were very appetising to look at.

Shen Yu was suddenly eager to eat her cooking, after all, she hadn't eaten much at all for lunch.

"Stay home and rest if you have a cold, I have to work."

"Uh-huh! I'll see you at six o'clock tonight then!"

Li Xiang waved a small hand at him and hung up the video call decisively, then sent another message.

Luo Yan: "Six o'clock, oh."

Sinking Fish: "Got it."

Probably knowing that she would contact him again at six o'clock, Shen Yu didn't feel lost, as he looked at the time, which was just after one o'clock in the afternoon, less than five hours away.

It's amazing what a ritual can do, and somehow Shen Yu is looking forward to six o'clock.

He went downstairs, turned on his computer and concentrated on his work. All his previous distractions dissipated, and he was in such good shape and thinking that he was more productive than usual.

But before six o'clock could arrive, his work was interrupted again when the phone rang and it was his father, Shen Deyou, calling.

"Hello, Dad?"

"Son, you have to do me a favour, on New Year's Day, take me on a business trip to Yokohama, it's a beautiful job, your father won't screw you over, I've already bought your ticket, your visa will be issued on the 30th, I'll have someone bring it to you then"

"?"

Shen Yu is dumbfounded.
