Chapter 158: The Night of the Confession

Li Xiang's wish has already been granted before he has even reached Sagami Lake.

Sagami Lake is about an hour's drive from home, and Li Xiang fell asleep next to Shen Yu, warm and smelling his scent.

Probably because she usually falls asleep smelling him, anyway, once Li Xiang was close to Shen Yu and smelled his body, she wanted to cuddle up to him and slept so well that the traffic jams and nagging drivers on the road did not affect her sleep at all.

Shen Yu did not dare to move, silently taking the gift of this lovely girl.

It's a gift, right? After all, any other normal guy wouldn't say no to such a lovely girl snuggling up to him.

Shen Yu sits against the window, the neon lights outside glowing on his face as he looks out the window at the exotic New Year scene and then down at Li Xiang beside him.

Li Xiang's face is slightly baby-fat, the kind that feels fleshy when you squeeze it, but doesn't look fat at all.

She is sound asleep, her big eyes closed, her long eyelashes slightly upturned and her nose small. When she is asleep, her mouth opens slightly, and a few cute little teeth can be seen, and a few strands of hair are scattered across her fair face.

Shen Yu, by some miracle, reached out and gently tousled the messy strands of hair for her, moving gently and softly, not wanting to wake her up.

But she noticed that the 'furry bear' was moving around, so she rubbed against him again, stuffing one hand in his coat pocket, and then slipping the other hand in behind Shen Yu's back, through the gap in the seat, and then subconsciously seeking warmth to get under his coat and hug him more intimately around the waist.

They were so close that Shen Yu could see her face clearly, even the imperceptible fuzz on her skin, and could smell the wonderfully sweet scent of the air she exhaled ......

Gradually, Shen Yu's head dips lower and lower, his mind seems to go blank, his heartbeat picks up steam, his palms sweat, and he feels the urge to kiss her out of control.

In a classic Grimm's fairy tale, the prince sees the beautiful sleeping princess and can't help but kiss her. Just as his lips touch the princess, she wakes up and gazes at him sweetly, and then the two live happily ever after.

Shen Yu now seems to understand why the prince kissed the princess with a feeling of 'fascination' that cannot be expressed in words

As if the flow of time had slowed down, he watched Li Xiang in silence, and as he watched, he wanted to give her a kiss ......

It always felt like her skin was all sweet and her whole body smelled milky, and I wanted to take her into myself so hard ......

It was probably because his heart was beating so fast and hard that Li Xiang's eyelids twitched as she slept with her head on his chest, and her eyes opened wide in a daze.

She woke up and so did Shen Yu.

Only Li Xiang had a dream with his eyes closed, while Shen Yu had a dream with his eyes open, a fairy-tale dream.

He blinked his eyes, which felt a little dry, as if he hadn't just blinked.

"Shen Yu ......?"

"Awake?"

"Well ......"

They said those three words and then both fell silent, Li Xiang did not let go of his hold and Shen Yu did not let her get up.

Shen Yu can clearly see that Li Xiang's small, fair face is rapidly turning a beautiful shade of scarlet.

When sleeping, you can hold him with impunity, and when you wake up and still hold him like this, the reserved young girl can't help but be shy ......

In the end, it was Li Xiang who couldn't resist and she sat back down, withdrawing her hand from his pocket and retracting it into her sleeve, which was not very long and she had to squeeze the edges with two fingers to hide her slightly red hand.

"Shen Yu No strange thoughts ...... "

Li Xiang felt some big embarrassment and stuttered his words, "Or else ...... or else ...... later ...... you won't be able to stand up again ...... we won't be able to get off the bus ......"

Shen Yu was still holding her emotions in place, but after hearing her out, she reacted to what she was saying, and suddenly her whole body became uncomfortable.

He ...... did have a reaction ...... but it wasn't so bad that he couldn't even get out of the car!!!

Last time the cinema was a fluke, this time I have a coat!!!

"Can't your brain think of something normal? It's not because you fell asleep on me again?"

"Because Shen Yu is a good sleeper ......"

Seeing Shen Yu's puzzled face, she hastened to explain, "It means that it's good to fall asleep smelling of you!"

The more Li Xiang talks, the more perverted she becomes, and Shen Yu starts thinking about how she just wanted to kiss this perverted young girl, what with her elegant and noble sleeping beauty temperament, it doesn't match her at all ......

Li Xiang's little heart was pounding, feeling both nervous and shy as she tried to control her eyes from looking down, but with an indescribable sense of satisfaction that Shen Yu was actually very happy to have this strange reaction to her.

While mentally cursing Shen Yu for being so perverted, he is whispering how much he likes ......

This fondness is justified because even when Shen Yu reacts strangely, he doesn't move his hands, but is held by her like a wooden man, which gives Li Xiang a great sense of security.

It is said that curiosity kills the cat, and girls are like cats, the more Shen Yu is like this, the more unbridled Li Xiang becomes.

"Just ...... begrudgingly ...... forgive you once ...... next time... ...I'll just ignore you ......"

"I don't want to talk to you."

An hour has passed unnoticed as the taxi slowly pulls up to the curb.

Shen Yu opened the door and got out of the car nimbly to prove that she was not affected by the car, Li Xiang's legs were numb after sitting for a long time and she dawdled to get out of the car.

"Shen Yu is so strong! Your hand is so steady!"

"I could even pick you up and throw you in the middle of the lake."

"Humph! Bad man! I can't swim and you still have to swim over to save me all the same, maybe even give me artificial respiration!"

"You dream on."

The cold breeze hit her face, and Shen Yu took a few deep breaths to refresh herself, after the torture she had just endured in the car.

Li Xiang had already finished being reserved, and with a swish of her hand she tucked it into his coat pocket again, hiding on his leeward side in fear of the cold.

"You're afraid of the cold and you still come out to play, it's pure abuse."

"It's not cold with you around, unless you don't let me put my hands in your pockets."

"I'll pull your hand out later."

"I've got a death grip on your shirt, you can't pull it ......"

The two walked in through the entrance to the exhibition area and there were many young couples around, but because Shen Yu was the tallest, he and Li Xiang stood out the most.

Sagami Lake Resort is located in the western part of Yokohama and hosts an annual winter light show that runs from November until April next year, with more than 6 million led lights illuminating the park than any other light show in the Kanto area.

"Wow! It's beautiful!"

Li Xiang was never one to mince her words, excitedly dragging Shen Yu towards the most gorgeous spots and taking out her mobile phone to take pictures of the east and the west, sometimes trotting up to Shen Yu to take a picture of him too.

Shen Yu also thought the light was beautiful, but he was not very expressive and could not see much emotion in his expression.

The coloured lights that dot the park's forests and slopes, also known as the Festival of Light, give you a sense of wonder and romance when walking through the park that you wouldn't experience in the city, like the Wizard of Oz.

The lights are also highly creative, with cherry blossom shapes, peacock shapes and even a gloriously lit waterfall.

"Shen Yu, let's go to the light tunnel together!"

Li Xiang dragged Shen Yu into the light tunnel, and when he entered the place, even Shen Yu couldn't help but be a little fascinated, he couldn't find the right word to describe it, it was probably like a time tunnel, it had a kind of ethereal and ethereal feeling.

"Shen Yu, does it look like we're walking through a time tunnel together?"

"You feel the same way?"

"So Shen Yu thought the same thing I did!"

Li Xiang said next to him, "I used to feel that people's lives are long and drawn out, that a lifetime is a long time, but now I think that if a lifetime is spent with the person you like, then a lifetime is not enough, it has to be forever."

"How far is forever?"

"Like an endless time tunnel, and then this one looks as good as it does now! What do you think?"

Shen Yu froze, turned his head to look at her, saw her looking at him too, and said softly, "Hmm."

After coming out of the light tunnel, the two went together to see several light displays such as Cherry Blossom Manga Slope, Butterflies in Flight, Fire Tree, Heart to Heart and Secret Garden.

The longer we wandered around, the more we felt like we were in a dream castle and Li Xiang's face was flushed with excitement.

It was 11.30pm and the two of them were tired of shopping, so they sat down together on a small slope on the Sea of Lights, in front of a romantic sea of lights that looked like an ocean.

Shen Yu straightened his legs and Li Xiang followed suit, sitting down next to him and straightening her own legs, which she found to be considerably shorter than Shen Yu's, making her giggle.

"Little short legs, you're still happy!" Shen Yu was angry and amused again. When Li Xiang laughed, he couldn't help but be amused by her, and he didn't know what was so funny.

"My legs aren't short at all, it's your legs that are too long, sit down a little ......"

"No sitting."

Li Xiang pushed him, but he couldn't push him, so the two of them fought on the slope.

It was a while before the fun was finally over and the time was almost zero, so both of them quieted down and looked together at the sea of lights in front of them.

"The luckiest thing that happened to me this year was going to study in China and staying with Shen Yu! How about you?"

"The unluckiest thing that ever happened to me, ah, was that you lived in my house."

"Hmph! Shen Yu is most annoying!"

"You're annoying, too."

"My hands are so cold ...... can you rub them for me ......"

She suddenly put both her hands in front of Shen Yu's face and looked at him with wide unblinking eyes, the light reflecting on her face in a somewhat moving way.

"...... Then you're not allowed to think blindly."

"Mmmmmm!"

Shen Yu reached out with his broad palm and wrapped her small, cool hands around him, just as he had done last time, and gently rubbed them together for her.

Both men's hearts were beating fast and white breath exhaled from their noses, swept up by the wind and blown into the night sky.

The New Year's Eve bells are ringing, a hundred and eight in all, the last one will ring after zero, heralding the arrival of 2021.

Bells, heartbeats, gorgeous lights, people you love around you ......

"Today is the happiest day of my 2020 year! Li Xiang is very happy because Shen Yu has crossed 2,000 kilometres from Sunan to be with me for the New Year!"

Shen Yu looked up just in time to see her eyes.

"So what's your New Year's resolution?"

"I want to hug you!"

The moment before the last bell rang, the whole world of lights suddenly went dark, then lit up even more brilliantly, and cheers were already ringing out all around as the bells signifying the New Year rang out!

Li Xiang turned and swooped into his arms, holding him tightly in his arms.

"Shen Yu Don't you have anything you want to say to me ......"

She lifted her little face and looked at him with encouraging eyes.

Shen Yu's face turned red, his mind went blank and his mouth opened and closed.

Finally the words were held back.

"Let's ...... go out."
