Chapter 160: A covenant never lasts the night

It is already after twelve o'clock at night.

The couples who came to see the light show left Sagami Lake, arm in arm, laughing and joking, for their hotel, village house or nearby chalet hotel, where they had the second half of the show.

As they passed by Shen Yu and Li Xiang, they also cast curious glances.

It was strange to see this seemingly perfect couple having a little tiff, with the boy grabbing both of the girl's hands to stop her from hugging them and the girl wriggling around like a caterpillar trying to get into his arms.

"You stand still for a moment."

"Oh ......"

When Shen Yu saw her standing obediently, he tried, little by little, to loosen her grip.

As soon as Li Xiang was free, he came back to hug him with a smile on his face.

"Am I that good of a hug?"

"Super like to cuddle Shen Yu ......"

Shen Yu sighed and gave up the struggle. Luckily, she was only hugging and her hands were still relatively peaceful, thinking that tonight's confession was also her own fault, so she let her hug her for a while and let it go.

"Shen Yu said."

"You let go first."

"Then you're not allowed to run away again, and if you do, I'll cry ......"

"You think I'm afraid of you crying, don't you?"

Li Xiang also tries to let go of him little by little, her big eyes still watching him warily, afraid that he will run away again, after all, she has boiled him for months to cook the soup, a cooked frog can not run away.

Shen Yu did not run and Li Xiang was relieved to stand in front of him, hands behind his back, like an obedient child.

"Since you've agreed to go out with me, I'm also responsible for you, so I've set a few rules that I hope you'll follow."

"Wow, even the opening line is the same as the last one eh!"

Li Xiang is excited, doesn't this mean Shen Yu is going to lose again, even though the zero hour has passed, as long as the sun is still up, he will break tonight!

"Don't you interrupt."

"Oh ......"

Li Xiang raises his small hand to indicate that he has something to ask.

"No restrictions on what you can say this time, just say whatever you want!"

"Then I have no more questions!"

Li Xiang said to herself, "It's a good thing, because if Shen Yu didn't talk to her, she would have been suffocated! Because they had just started dating, there was so much she wanted to say to him that she couldn't say to him before.

Shen Yu is also the first time to get involved with a girl, it is inevitable that he is a bit rusty, after thinking about it, he said.

"Let's start with a clear definition of engagement! What do you think it means to be in a relationship?"

"Us? That must be for the purpose of marriage! Li Xiang wants to marry Shen Yu!"

Shen Yu nearly choked to death on his saliva.

He gave Li Xiang a blank look and said breathlessly, "You are wrong to think that way! Interaction is an act of contact or direct communication between people to reach a certain perception of each other to establish a specific social relationship between each other, it includes ......"

Li Xiang was listening carefully at first, but as she listened, her eyes drifted and her mind went blank again.

"...... So, what I'm saying is that we can try, in this way of dating, to see if it's right for each other to be together, you know what I mean?"

Li Xiang shook his head.

"It's ......"

Shen Yu was at a loss for words and managed to find a more appropriate description, "I, now, am your intern boyfriend and you, now, are my intern girlfriend."

"Wow! I know this one!"

Li Xiang came to his senses and hastily asked again, "So how can I tell if I've turned?"

Shen Yu chuckled and said, "Of course the other side will be the judge of that!"

Almost without hesitation, Li Xiang immediately opened his arms and came to hug Shen Yu again.

"Then I declare now that Shen Yu is my rightful lover!"

"......"

You take it as a child's play!

Shen Yu holds the restless young girl down to prevent her small hands from making a mess.

"It's your business if you let me turn, I haven't let you turn yet, so don't mess around."

Li Xiang deflated and asked, "So what do I have to do to get converted ......"

"Tell me more!"

"Hmmm ......"

Satisfied by her devastated look, Shen Yu went on to talk about the covenant.

"Number one, you are forbidden to have intimate physical contact with me, such as touching me, holding hands, hugging, kissing, sleeping together, etc."

"So what if it's Shen Yu who wants to touch me?"

"You think I'm as sick as you are?"

Li Xiang's face was already bitter when she heard the first one.

"How can you do this ...... people in love can hold hands ...... hugging is also okay ...... even if kissing is not allowed for now, but soon it will be okay ...... actually I do not want to kiss Shen Yu, but now we are lovers, I can also reluctantly agree. I don't really want to kiss Shen Yu, but we're lovers now, so I'm okay with it. ...... Of course not if we sleep together... ... Shen Yu is really the most perverted!"

"Just say you'll say yes or no."

"Shen Yu is too bossy ...... "

Li Xiang tried to hug him again, but Shen Yu immediately pulled away and wouldn't let her.

So she was like a little girl who couldn't chase a balloon, stamping her feet in aggravation and squatting on the ground unhappy. She wanted to pick up some small stones to throw, but after searching for half a day she couldn't find any small stones, so she had to pull at the grass ......

Shen Yu approached her and, not yet looking at him, she turned her head away with a grunt.

Seeing her acting like a little girl, Shen Yu was so angry and amused that he went over and picked up Li Xiang, who was squatting, and put her on a bench.

Li Xiang yelped, feeling Shen Yu's strength was so strong that he actually moved her, who was crouching, away like a brick ......

It felt so fun again, and the little mood that had just been frustrated was immediately happy.

It's just that reserved girls don't forgive him so easily.

Li Xiang then threw the straw in her hand at Shen Yu and grunted, "I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

Shen Yu can't help it, if this goes on it will be dawn, do you want to go home to sleep, really have a female friend ...... intern girlfriend is trouble.

"How about this, I made a rule, you can make one too, so it's fair, right?"

"Really?"

"You set it."

Li Xiang immediately blurted out, "And the second rule is: even though we're not officially together, Shen Yu is not allowed to have any other intern girlfriends! Only me!"

"Then you're not allowed to have other intern boyfriends either."

"I've already converted Shen Yu ......"

"Anyway, I haven't converted you yet, and even if I am, you're not allowed to say anything to my parents until I do."

If Li Xiang had told both parents about Shen Yu's confession when she got home, her father would have come to Yokohama tomorrow to propose marriage, not to mention the internship period!

"How dominating ......"

After reaching a consensus, the two happily settled on this one as well.

Li Xiang is happy, it doesn't matter if she doesn't hold hands or hug, she is confident that she can break this rule, she has experience with it, the big deal is to cook the frog again.

Shen Yu gritted her teeth and stated the third rule: "I'm not getting married until I'm three ...... twenty-eight!"

I don't need you to agree to this, but I will abide by this rule myself. If you're going out with me because you want to get married sooner than later, I advise you to stop thinking about it as soon as possible!"

Li Xiang opened her small mouth to say no, but was keenly aware of the change ......

Because Shen Yu had told her more than once that she wouldn't get married until she was thirty, and now it was twenty-eight!

In a few days, won't that make you twenty-six? Twenty-four? At twenty-two, you'll be ready to get married to him!

Then, with a bright smile, he said, "Then I'll wait for Shen Yu until he's twenty-eight."

"I ...... won't marry you even when I'm twenty-eight."

"No, we're trainee lovers now, Shen Yu can't cheat on me! And you can't unilaterally break up with me!"

Shen Yu's face is stony, how always feel that this covenant has with not like, but also dead to himself to trap ......

But luckily there's the first one ......

Every time I look down at her little face, a thought flashes through my mind: 'It would be quite moving to spend the rest of my life with Li Xiang, watching the sunrise and sunset together every day, listening to the bells and watching the lights together every year ......'

It wasn't until after she was sure she liked her that Shen Yu learned that the first thing you feel when you like someone is panic.

The internship period is also a buffer zone, and Shen Yu needs to give herself time to work on becoming a better and stronger person.

With a goal in mind, Shen Yu is a little more at ease.

It was getting late, so the two planned to go home.

Li Xiang trotted over to Shen Yu and tucked his hands into his coat pocket.

Shen Yu was still thinking about the contract when he suddenly felt a small, cool, slippery hand burrow in, so much so that his mind wandered.

"You're breaking the rules!"

"Not at all. ......"

Li Xiang justified it by saying, "We were like this before ...... now we are dating, so the relationship should have gone further, so what we could do before, we can do even more now, Shen Yu don't be unreasonable!"

"How am I being unreasonable ......"

"It was supposed to be. ...... If that's the case, then we might as well not date for a while so there's no contract and I can shove my hand in your pocket."

Shen Yu wants to talk and stop talking and stop talking and wonder when it became the right thing to do to put her hand in her coat pocket ......

Li Xiang triumphed, her little hand could fit into his coat pocket and stay warm with his big hand.

Shen Yu clenched his fist to avoid too much contact with her hand, but Li Xiang was not at all good, his nimble fingers were like little snakes, burrowing between his fingers, trying to get in between them and put his hand in his palm.

The two men were waiting for a taxi at the curb, and their eyes were each looking to one side. On the surface, it seemed calm, but in fact, two hands were tangled in this not-so-small coat pocket in the middle.

Li Xiang finally got her way and managed to get her middle finger into Shen Yu's palm, feeling a wonderful sensation of being wrapped in warmth and breathing slightly harder.

Her fingers were slender and soft, Shen Yu squeezed them gently, but finally she couldn't let go ......

After waiting for ages, every taxi that passed was carrying passengers inside, and there were fewer and fewer of them as time went on.

"Your Martian lord doesn't work, we can't go back ......"

"Ah ...... well ...... maybe Lord Mars is asleep ......"

Li Xiang blushed and secretly contributed another 10,000 points of faith to Lord Mars, they really can't go back!

It's almost 1am, and because of the time difference, Li Xiang and Shen Yu are used to the Chinese time zone, which is an hour later, and because they are in an up-and-down mood today, they don't seem sleepy at the moment.

All public transport at this time of the day has stopped and the night buses only run for a long time and you have to change multiple times, which is torture to think about.

If it had been a summer fireworks display, it would have been fine for the sleep-deprived pair to go and press the road together, but now it was getting colder and colder outside as the night wore on, and although Li Xiang didn't say so, Shen Yu could see that the tips of her noses were freezing red.

"Shen Yu, so what do we do now?"

"We'll just have to find out if there's anywhere to stay nearby."

"Shall we sleep together ......"

"It's against the rules!"

Shen Yu is not that silly, he just made a bet with her, he doesn't want to drink her footwash.

It was unrealistic to expect Li Xiang to find accommodation, so Shen Yu opened the software and searched for hotels, village houses or nearby chalets that could provide accommodation, but all were sold out.

"It's over, isn't it, now we're going to spend the night in the wild ......"

"So Shen Yu can you hold me ...... I'm cold ......"

"It's getting to be that time and you're still trying to take advantage of me."

Shen Yu said that she was really cold, but he softened his heart and opened his coat, and Li Xiang immediately went into his arms.

Luckily, the coat was big enough, Shen Yu was tall enough and Li Xiang was petite enough to feel warm while hiding under his coat!

Li Xiang also took out her phone to check the nearby accommodation bookings and was pleasantly surprised to find that the shop Shen Yu had just looked at had suddenly released a vacant room!

"You're lucky, I'm convinced, order now, it'll be gone if you're late!"

Shen Yu pulled back his coat, Li Xiang was not cold anymore, he was a bit cold himself.

"Mmmmmm!"

Li Xiang didn't hesitate to book the room, Shen Yu took her phone and looked at the map, it wasn't too far away, it was a 15 minute walk.

"Aren't you coming out yet?"

"It's cold!"

"How can I walk when you're like this ......"

"Then I'll hold you tight so we can walk together and Shen Yu won't be cold ......"

With that, Li Xiang, who was hiding under his coat, reached her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly, which felt so much better now than when she had just hugged him!

Because Shen Yu has a jumper underneath, and her little hands are not exposed to the cold, she can hear his heartbeat and smell him.

"It's ...... against the rules!"

"So let's violate this one time ...... Shen Yu Still cold?"

"A bit of ......"

Li Xiang then hugged him even harder.

"How about this?"

"Also ...... okay ......"

Shen Yu's nose puffed out white air as her heart beat faster, and she was definitely not cold anymore.

The two of them just snuggled up and took small steps towards the little hotel.

Before I knew it, I had come to the sign for the small hotel.

The lobby was lit with warm lights, and when I pushed the door open and walked in, the warm air blew on my body and made my whole body feel a lot more comfortable.

Shen Yu opened her coat to reveal Li Xiang inside and saw her little face as red as a persimmon ......

"Shen Yu ......"

"What's wrong?"

Li Xiang looked up at him for a moment and then sheepishly lowered her head.

"We're staying in ...... a king room tonight oh ......"
