"Hello? Weird... can you see me? Hello?"
Shen Yu pretended to be crazy and even took a selfie with a strange look on his face.
"Shen Yu-jun is the most annoying! You, you are teasing me!"
Asaba Rika blushed and patted him on the phone screen with shame and annoyance.
She thought her phone was stuck just now, but it turned out that Shen Yu pretended to be disconnected and stared at her motionless for a long time.
Actually, the girl was still very happy in her heart, but she still couldn't control her shyness. After all, she just thought she was disconnected and her funny look of scratching her head and head was ignored by him. It was so embarrassing!
"What? I was really disconnected just now. I can't even see you..."
"Big liar, I just saw you blinking your eyes!"
"Who cares about you..."
"You have it, you have it!"
Listening to her voice and looking at her appearance, she still looked so charming and naive. Her mood, which had been depressed all day, finally brightened up like the sunshine outside the house.
Shen Yu could see her in the picture. She was still wearing pajamas, with a white background and blue cartoon dolls as decorations. She was sitting on the bed, with her mobile phone propped on the bedside, her hands holding her knees, her head Hidden behind the folded arms, he was also wrapped in a pink and white quilt, which looked very much like the emoticon.
Because her face is pressed against her arms, the flesh of her cheeks is squeezed together, making her look very cute.
She stared at the screen motionless, and Shen Yu didn't reply when he spoke to her. She was stuck like him and peeked at him openly.
"The network is not good, I hung up."
"No, no, no..."
Hearing what Chen Yu said, Li Xiang quickly moved.
"Are you still sleeping? Why are you still wearing pajamas?"
"My pajamas are very warm, because today my mother and I are the only ones at home, and I won't go out, so I won't change my clothes."
"Are you feeling better from your cold?"
"It's fine now. I was sneezing just now. I heard that when I sneeze, someone is thinking about me, but I don't know if it's true..."
When she spoke, she would expose her little face from behind her arms. Her little nose was still a little red, probably from rubbing it when she sneezed. After she finished speaking, she would retract her little face behind her arms holding her knees. Only a pair of big eyes looked at him.
"Of course it's fake. You're sneezing because you have a cold. Who would miss you?"
"Don't you even miss me, Mr. Shen Yu?"
"I miss you the least. I don't know how happy I am when you are not at home. I sleep until nine o'clock and no one disturbs my work. I feel so free..."
"So that's it!"
Li Xiang has long understood Shen Yu's way of speaking, and she has to listen to his words in reverse, so what Shen Yu wants to express is: I miss you the most. You are not at home. I am so sad that I have no energy to get up. There is no one I can't even continue my work without disturbing you. I miss you so much.
"What are you happy about..."
She looked at her gloomily and speechlessly, even though she sounded so heartless, she was still as happy as a fool.
"You still don't allow me to be happy? Huh..."
Li Xiang slightly stuck out her tongue at the camera, so much so that Shen Yu began to recall whether she had said the wrong thing just now.
Shen Yu's chat was dull, and he didn't know what topic to talk about. In fact, he just wanted to see her and listen to her voice. Sometimes after being stared at by her for a long time, he would feel his face get a little hot, and then he would feel a little flustered. No He dared to look at her, his eyes wandering left and right...
He was the kind of person who had something to say but didn't know how to express his feelings, or he didn't dare to express them, so he had no choice but to explore bit by bit like walking on thin ice, but unknowingly walked into the swamp, trying to escape. Only then did I realize that I seemed to be sinking deeper and deeper.
Lixiang was just the opposite of him. As long as she was connected to him via video or voice, she would always chatter, which played into Shen Yu's hands and prevented him from worrying about what they should talk about. After all, subconsciously, he didn't want to. End the video call.
"Did Mr. Shen Yu just say that you were going to help Liangji move? He doesn't live at the school anymore?"
"Well, he and Ya Ge moved out together and now live in the street next to our house. They live together."
"They all live together!! Si Guoyi!!"
Li Xiang was so surprised when she heard the news, her big eyes widened.
"So are they together? Has Yage agreed to Liangji's pursuit?"
Shen Yu replied with a weird look on his face: "Why do we have to live together? Aren't we also living together?"
"Oh... that's right... we two are very innocent. Mr. Shen Yu, please don't have strange thoughts about me."
"I take it you have strange thoughts about me?"
Shen Yu almost told her about finding her writing his name and drawing his portrait in her room yesterday, but she felt her heart beating wildly. She hesitated to speak, hesitated to speak, and forgot what she wanted to say.
"I didn't!"
Rika quickly denied it. This time when she spoke, she didn't show her little face from behind her arms because her face was already red.
Shen Yuruo said pointedly: "You... better not have strange thoughts about me, I will definitely refuse... Of course I am not referring to you, and the same is true for other girls. I will not consider these things before I am thirty years old. Yes."
I don’t know if it was because of a guilty conscience, but the more he spoke, the softer he became.
Li Xiang didn't seem to care at all, and said to him with a smile: "I know, didn't we make a bet last time? I bet that Shen Yujun must be married before he is thirty years old, and there is a porcelain doll with him." Such a cute baby!”
"I didn't agree to bet with you."
"Hmph, it's useless for Mr. Shen Yu to cheat. I've already prayed to Mr. Mars! I won't lose this bet!"
"Can your Lord Martian still give me a wife?"
"Of course, Lord Mars is omnipotent."
"You can just brag, it's all just a coincidence."
"Then what if I make a wish for you to come to Yokohama to celebrate the New Year with me?"
Chen Yu felt relieved and was amused by her naivety. He had no confidence in betting before, but there was no way he would lose this time!
"Okay, I definitely can't buy a plane ticket to Yokohama now. I have a passport, but no visa, and it's too late to apply for a visa. If you can get someone to send the plane ticket and visa to me, I will go to Yokohama to accompany you. You celebrate the New Year!”
"you said!"
"I said."
Even if he is a non-chief, he will eventually turn around. He doesn't believe that in the face of the hard facts, he will lose to this stupid girl who is full of naivety.
After hearing this, Li Xiang hummed softly, closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and prayed devoutly to Master Martian in front of Shen Yu.
"Master Martian promised me! Mr. Shen Yu, just be ready to come and celebrate the New Year with me!"
"Silly melon..."
Probably both of them felt that such a thing was impossible to happen, especially Shen Yu, and they didn't take it seriously.
However, after this little episode, even though Shen Yu couldn't fly to Yokohama to spend the New Year with her, Li Xiang seemed much happier. After all, he had agreed to come over if he had an air ticket and visa, just in case a miracle happened.
"Shen Yujun, Shen Yujun..."
Rika called him. When she spoke in this tone, she must be asking him for something. If she was around, she might grab the corner of his clothes.
"What's wrong?"
"Is it okay if I contact you at a fixed time every day?"
"Contact once a day? That's okay..."
"No, no, it's nine o'clock in the morning, twelve o'clock at noon, and six o'clock in the evening. I also want to talk to you before going to bed..."
"Why do you have so much to say? Are you bored?"
"Because I can only talk to one person at a time. If I talk to Sae-chan, I can't talk to you, but I want to talk to you again. Shen Yu-kun knows that I'm so long-winded and everyone doesn't like it. If you listen to me being verbose, Mr. Shen Yu will not dislike me, so I like to chat with Mr. Shen Yu, and if we fix the time, we can do our own things at other times. Isn’t this very ritualistic? "
Lixiang is an artistic girl. She feels that compared to looking for him whenever she misses him and he happens to be unavailable, it will always make people feel disappointed. Fix a certain time to go to him, then she can prepare her mood.
Chen Yu always felt that she was cooking him, but he felt that... it was not impossible. After all, like today, she never contacted him, which made him uneasy and thought something had happened to her. It affects the work very much.
"What are you doing at home today? Drawing?"
"My mother and I are cooking. It's delicious! I learned two new dishes from her. I'll cook them for you to try when I get back."
As she said that, Lixiang also sent him photos, which were all exquisite dishes. Just looking at them made her very appetizing.
Chen Yu suddenly wanted to eat the meal she cooked. After all, he didn't eat much at noon. The meal Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage cooked was just like an experiment, and it was a failed experiment.
"If you have a cold, just rest at home. I have to work."
"Yeah! I'll see you again at six o'clock in the evening!"
Lixiang waved her little hand to him, hung up the video call decisively, and then sent another message.
Luo Yan: "Six o'clock."
Chen Yu: "I know."
Probably because he knew that she would contact him again at six o'clock, Shen Yu did not feel disappointed. He looked at the time and saw that it was now more than one o'clock in the afternoon, and there were less than five hours left.
The sense of ritual is really magical. Inexplicably, Shen Yu began to look forward to the arrival of six o'clock.
He went downstairs, turned on the computer and concentrated on his work. The restlessness he had felt before was gone. He was in good condition and thinking, and his work efficiency was higher than usual.
But before six o'clock arrived, his work was interrupted again. The ringtone rang. It was his father Shen Deyou's call:
"Hello, Dad?"
"Son, you have to do your dad a favor. On New Year's Day, go to Yokohama for me on a business trip. It's a nice job. Your dad won't cheat you. I've already bought your air ticket. Your visa will come down on the 30th. I’ll have someone bring it to you later…”
"?"
Shen Yu was dumbfounded.
