Those Sweet Times
Chapter 69 Part 2

“Excuse me……” Min Lili suddenly spoke, “Though I really want to pretend I’m not here, I have to remind you two that there’s a living person right next to you……”

Lin Chuyan turned to look at her and asked: “So you plan to keep standing here?”

“No, no, no. You guys go ahead. I’m going to get myself an ofo[1], bye!” As she was speaking, she carried her backpack and turned to run towards the parked bicycles.

“Let’s go.” Lin Chuyan took Xiang Nuan’s backpack and put it on his shoulders. The backpack wasn’t heavy, but he had grown accustomed to carrying it.

Xiang Nuan didn’t know how to interact with Lin Chuyan at the moment and sheepishly walked next to him with her eyes cast downwards and hands in her pockets.

Lin Chuyan asked her after they had walked for a short distance: “Do you like the house?”

“It’s very nice.” Xiang Nuan continued to stare at the ground. After a short pause, she added: “Hrm, it’s just a pity that there’s no light inside the house. Otherwise it would be even prettier.”

Lin Chuyan stopped and squinted at her.

What he could see was only the top of her head.

At this moment, Min Lili rode on her ofo past them. The little yellow bicycle moved crookedly under her, as if she would fall at any moment. Min Lili didn’t seem to care. As she passed by Xiang Nuan she asked her: “Nuannuan, are you still going to the market?”

“No, I’m not.”

“Oh, then I’ll buy some batteries for you.”

Xiang Nuan: “......”

Min Lili: “You’re welcome! I’m going!”

Xiang Nuan wasn’t going to thank her……

Xiang Nuan felt that she had quite the bad luck. She didn’t expect that her little scheme would be exposed in under a second.

Lin Chuyan burst into laughter.

Xiang Nuan was even more uneasy by his cheerful laughter.

“Why are you buying batteries for?” He asked, fully aware of the answer.

Xiang Nuan was embarrassed. All she wanted to do at the moment was to run away; she quickened her footsteps, eyes still looking downwards.

Lin Chuyan grabbed her wrist: “What are you running for?”

Xiang Nuan tried to free her hand but wasn’t successful.

Lin Chuyan went a step further; he slid his hand down to hold onto her hand.

Xiang Nuan’s hand was small and soft, wrapped in his burning hot palm like a small sailing boat parked inside a calm bay.

Xiang Nuan’s heartbeat quickened even more.

Lin Chuyan could finally hold Xiang Nuan’s hand. It was a deeply satisfying feel. He had never felt this good before.

“We’re boyfriend and girlfriend now since we’ve held hands.” He said.

“Hey, I haven’t said yes yet.”

“If you don’t want to, then take your hand back.”

He was holding her hand so tightly that it would take Hercules or a contortionist to pull her hand out of his grip.

“Lin Chuyan, you’re shameless.”

“I am shameless and I’m shamelessly holding on to you.”
