Those Sweet Times
Chapter 54 Part 3
That night they all went to a restaurant for the New Year’s Eve dinner. The entire family circled around the table. Chen Yinghu’s mother and Shen Zemu’s mother were sisters. They sat next to each other and soon the focus of their conversation turned to their children
Chen’s mother said: “Our Yinghu only knows how to play games all day. Finally, he has a girlfriend now and promises to take her home to meet us this New Year. Then he told us that the girl had some family emergency and had to go back home. Now his dad and I are doubting whether he really has a girlfriend or not.”
Chen Yinghu quietly said: “I really do……”
“Your Zemu is much better, he’s smart and mature. What if I can have a son like him…...Nevermind, I don’t have the luck to have such a nice son.”
Shen’s mother sighed: “Yinghu is a kind person who hasn’t been through tough times. Our Zemu hasn’t been as lucky; during his first year in junior high I wasn’t able to take care of him most of the time……”
The other relatives jumped to comfort her: “It’s alright, it’s all in the past. Don’t think about that during New Years.”
Shen Zemu, the topic of their conversation, remained very calm. Every child grew up to be an adult; for him, it’s just the process came earlier to him than the other children.
He wasn’t surprised that his peers found him to be boring, since at the same time, he found them to be just as boring.
But now, he had met an interesting person.
Shen Zemu was quite amazed himself. Xiang Nuan was somewhat childish in his eyes, yet he was attracted by that childishness.
Shen Zemu stayed up till midnight that night. He received a New Year message from Xiang Nuan.
He immediately called her on the phone.
Xiang Nuan answered: “Hello Xuezhang, haven’t gone to sleep yet?”
“En.”
“Happy New Year, ha, Xuezhang.”
“Thank you. You too. Happy New Year.”
Xiang Nuan didn’t know what else to say. She didn’t even know why Shen Zemu called her on the phone. Didn’t everyone send their well wishes on WeChat nowadays? Who would use a phone to say happy New Year……
Shen Zumu suddenly said: “Xiang Nuan.”
“Hrm?”
“Why did you start playing Kings of Glory in the first place?”
“......”
“Was it because of me?”

Whooah.. the first dilemma i have between male lead and second lead Shen Zemu seems lonely.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this update.
ReplyDeleteUgh I'm struggling, I really support the main couple but at the same time I really feel for SZ QAQ
ReplyDeleteNow I want to know SZ what happened to SZ's mum that made SZ grow up quickly. Much as I'm beginning to like SZ I also just feel he wouldn't last with XN. They constantly find they have nothing to talk about when they are alone. Eventually it would wear down on XN because she'd work extra hard to keep their relationship lively
