Those Sweet Times

Chapter 33 Part 3

Then, Lin Chuyan wanted to buy some food for Xiang Nuan.  
She scoffed: “I have money.”

Lin Chuyan gently smiled at her like an aged father: “What’s wrong
with you today?”

Xiang Nuan rolled her eyes and thought: what’s wrong with you.

They walked into a souvenir shop. Xiang Nuan picked up several
nice looking postcards. The shop offered a special service where
anyone could write a postcard to the person they were thinking of
at that moment and then hand the postcard back to the shop. These
postcards wouldn’t be mailed out, but instead be posted on the wall.

If the person addressed on a postcard happened to visit the shop,
then he or she could read the postcard on the wall.

Xiang Nuan thought it was such a fun idea.

She and Chen Yinghu each wrote a postcard while Shen Zemu and
Lin Chuyan waited, announcing that it was too childish to do so.

Xiang Nuan and Chen Yinghu sat at the table to ponde what to write.
She told Chen Yinghu: “Hu Ge, I feel only you and me are the same
type of person, right?”

“En.”

Xiang Nuan could feel that Chen Yinghu didn’t like to talk to her but he
liked to talk to Lin Chuyan. If Chen Yinghu didn’t have a girlfriend, she
would have questioned his sexual orientation.

Xiang Nuan accidentally glanced at Chen Yinghu’s postcard, it was
addressed to “Keke.”

After they walked out of the souvenir shop, she asked: “Hu Ge, is ‘Keke’
your girlfriend’s name?”

“En.” Chen Yinghu bashfully nodded.

Xiang Nuan was curious: “Then, how did you two meet?”

“We knew each other from playing games.”

Xiang Nuan felt that though meeting someone through games wasn’t a
traditional mainstream way of meeting girls, to Hu Ge, however, it seemed
the only proper way for him to fall in  love. Hu Ge was too shy in the real
world after all, a total contrast to the person who trash talked all the time online.

Actually, for a moment while they were still in the hotel, Xiang Nuan had
suspected that the Hu Ge infront of her was an actor that Shen Zemu had hired
to please her.

Fortunately, she could recognize Hu Ge’s voice.

Xiang Nuan asked: “Then, your girlfriend must be very good at playing games?”

Chen Yinghu: “Ur.” His expression showed that it was hard for him to come up
with a proper answer.

He didn’t want to complain about his girlfriend, but he couldn’t in right conscience
say that she was a good player.

Shen Zemu had played with Keke once, of course with Chen Yinghu. Their entire
team, except Chen Yinghu, came to the same conclusion about her skill: They all
hoped that if they played with her next time, she would be on the opposite team.

Lin Chuyan could read Chen Yinghu’s mind and flattered him: “Hu Ge can carry
a team on his own, his girlfriend doesn’t need to play well.”

Chen Yinghu laughed: “You’re exaggerating.”

Xiang Nuan couldn’t stand Lin Chuyan acting this way. Suddenly, anger flared
up in her mind and she grabbed his wrist: “You come with me.”

“What for?”

“Just come!”
