Those Sweet Times
Chapter 77 Part 2

Lin Chuyan was afraid that Xiang Nuan would become angry at him and tried to hold his laughter in. He then asked: “Then what do we do now?” Before Xiang Nuan opened her mouth, he added: “Don’t say play games. Look at your finger.”

“Then let’s go to the library. I haven’t studied for quite some time.”

“A date in the library?” Lin Chuyan didn’t think it was a good idea.

“Lin Chuyan, aren’t you going to strive with me to advance the socialist society?”

Lin Chuyan thought he would rather strive with her to do some other things.

Certainly he couldn’t tell her that.

They went to the library together. Xiang Nuan worked on her homework. Lin Chuyan used his broken cell phone to get online to check out sneakers. He asked Xiang Nuan which one she liked.

Xiang Nuan said in a low voice: “I can buy them myself.”

“It’s the matching pair for couples. Let’s buy them together.”

Matching pairs…...Xiang Nuan felt it was so sweet and smiled with her head bent down.

After choosing the styles they preferred, Lin Chuyan placed the order and was going to pay. Then something rather embarrassing happened…...His bank account had insufficient funds.

He was out of money.

He sneaked a peek at Xiang Nuan. Fortunately, Xiang Nuan was looking downwards and didn’t notice.

Lin Chuyan adjusted the order to purchase only the women's pair. He had enough money for that.

It was time to try to get some money, he thought.

Lin Chuyan sent a message to his father: Dad, did you see the post I just sent to my friend circle?

Lin Xueyuan: No, I haven’t. I blocked you.

Lin Chuyan: ……

Lin Xueyuan had blocked his son long ago. He couldn’t stand his son always poor-mouthed to his friend circle. But since his son had asked an unusual question, he hurried to take a look and saw the big news.

Lin Xueyuan: Is it Xiang Nuan? It is, right? It can’t be anyone else other than Xiang Nuan or your mom’ll go crazy.

Lin Xueyuan: On the other hand, if you’re really with Xiang Nuan, I figure she’ll go crazy as well.

Lin Xueyuan: Ok, she’s already gone crazy.

Lin Xueyuan had sent three messages back to back. It looked like he was overwhelmed by the news. Lin Chuyan took his time to reply: “Yes.”

Lin Xueyuan: Your mom’s crying.

Lin Chuyan: = =

Though he felt his mom’s reaction was a bit exaggerated, it was nonetheless the perfect timing to ask for some money. Lin Chuyan told his dad: But I don’t have money to go on a date.

Lin Xueyuan went along and asked: Oh? How much do you need?

Lin Chuyan: I can ask for any amount?

Lin Xueyuan: Just give me a number.

Lin Chuyan figured that it wouldn’t hurt to ask for more, one had to be bold to get rich. Lin Chuyan asked for 8 million from his dad.

His father told him to get lost.

Then Lin Xueyuan gave his son 8 hundred.

Lin Chuyan didn’t complain and took the money first. Then he said: Mom isn’t worried that I’m too poor to treat Xiang Nuan nicely?

Lin Xueyuan: Don’t worry. Your mom said she’ll give Xiang Nuan a big red envelope.

Lin Chuyan: ……

Lin Chuyan wondered whether they were his real parents.
