Those Sweet Times

Chapter 39 Part 1

“Lin Chuyan, what's your New Year's wish then?” Xiang Nuan was curious.

Lin Chuyan held the beer can in one hand while lightly stroking its cold metal exterior

with his finger. He smiled: “I'll let you know when the wish comes true.”

“Alright.” Xiang Nuan answered and covered her mouth as she yawned, small tears

formed at the edge of her eyes.

“Let's go.” Lin Chuyan stood up. “Let's go back.”

“Go back where? My dorm is already locked by now.”

Xiang Nuan wanted to go back to the hospital but Lin Chuyan thought it was

unnecessary since the hospital would take care of Min Lili. Besides, it would be

too tiring to stay in the hospital overnight. He searched for nearby hotels on his

cell phone and chose a decent one to show her.

They went to the hotel and booked two rooms with large bed.

The next day, Xiang Nuan woke up to the ringing of her cell phone. Half of her face

was still hidden inside the soft pillow as she reached for her phone in a daze: “h.e.l.lo?”

It was the first time that Lin Chuyan had heard her voice over the phone just as she

woke up. The voice was thin, a little smoky, and somewhat nasally as she murmured.

One could tell immediately that she wasn't fully awaken yet.

Her voice was like a kitten's paws tapping on his chest, soft, faint, yet quite ticklish.

Lin Chuyan laughed.

Hearing him laugh, Xiang Nuan quickly shook off the drowsiness: “Lin Chuyan, you

silly, what are you laughing about so early in the morning.”

“It's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you want to go get some breakfast.”

“Sure I do.”

The room included breakfast, which meant that skipping breakfast was giving up

money. Xiang Nuan decided she had to eat breakfast and had to eat it to the fullest.

Breakfast was a buffet. Xiang Nuan picked up an a.s.sortment of dishes, then sat down.

She looked at her watch and asked Lin Chuyan: “The final compet.i.tion is only two

hours away. Do you have the confidence for it?”

“Why do you only think about the game.” Lin Chuyan was peeling a hard boiled egg.

Its sh.e.l.l was particularly difficult to peel off. He held the egg with one hand and used

the other to peel one little piece of sh.e.l.l at a time. Tiny sh.e.l.ls fell onto the white plate.

Xiang Nuan's eyes followed his hands, it was rather pleasant to watch.

With hands like his, anything he did was pleasant to the eyes.

Lin Chuyan finally peeled off all the sh.e.l.l and noticed that Xiang Nuan was looking at

his hands. He raised his eyebrows: “You want it?”

“Oh, no. I'll peel one myself.”

He held up the ugly looking egg: “Say something nice to me, then it's yours.”

“Chu G.o.d is the best, I surrender.”

Lin Chuyan didn't expect that Xiang Nuan could turn any subject into something

related to the game.

He quietly put the egg on her plate and picked up another one to peel.

“What do you think Waiwai xuezhang will use as his champion today?” Xiang Nuan

asked, concerned very much about Waiwai as he also played support. Just as she

finished asking, she suddenly raised her voice in surprise: “Eh, Waiwai xuezhang?”

Lin Chuyan followed her eyes and turned to take a look. He saw a petrified Waiwai

standing not too far away from them.

Behind Waiwai, there stood Yao Jiamu.
