Those Sweet Times
Chapter 55  Part 1

If Shen Zemu’s hadn’t asked, Xiang Nuan would have forgotten that she started playing the game to get closer to him.

She had also almost forgotten that she had developed a crush on him at first sight.

After she first met him, she wanted to see him everyday but when she actually got to see him, she became so nervous that she would blush the moment she opened her mouth.

It seemed to her that it had happened a long time ago.

In reality, it was only a few months ago.

“Xiang Nuan?” Shen Zemu’s voice pulled her back out of her own thoughts.

“En, Xuezhang……” Xiang Nuan gathered her thoughts and answered: “It’s true that I started playing the game after I heard Waiwai Xuezhang and you talking about it. Do you still remember? It was after our club’s weekly meeting and I heard your conversation outside the student union. I even asked Waiwai Xuezhang what he meant by ‘up for a round’.” She made it sound quite innocent and didn’t mention anything about her secret intentions at the time.

She was so ashamed that she hoped Shen Zemu never found out.

How could Shen Zemu not know. Actually, he already knew everything because Xiang Nuan wasn’t that complex of a person. All of her emotions and thoughts could be read clearly from her eyes. How could he not know.

He was always a bystander, sitting on the sidelines, watching the girls admire him.

Sometimes, a person sees more clearly when they’re indifferent to such things.

But when he started to care about her feelings, he began to get confused and could no longer see the bigger picture.

Shen Zemu now somewhat regretted his indifference towards Xiang Nuan’s feelings at the time.

If he had changed his mind earlier, there wouldn’t be a Lin Chuyan to worry about now.

Regardless, it was a bit late to think about all these things. Shen Zemu didn’t want to create unnecessary worries for himself and dispersed his messy thoughts. He said to Xiang Nuan: “En. I know now.”

What did he know……

Xiang Nuan was uncomfortable hearing those words. She tried to dig more into it: “Is it that Xuezhang heard some nonsense from other people?”

“No, I haven’t.”

“Anyway, Xuezhang, don’t misunderstand me.”

“En.”

……

It was a strange call from Shen Zemu. After hanging up, Xiang Nuan was still confused by it all, but couldn’t figure out what was going on.

Right after Shen Zemu’s call, another came in.

Xiang Nuan felt like she was even busier than a CEO.

This time it was from Lin Chuyan.

“Hello, Lin Chuyan, what’s up?” Xiang Nuan answered.

Lin Chuyan seemed to have called from outside. Xiang Nuan could hear the wind blowing, it felt rather cold on the other side of the phone. She heard Lin Chuyan ask her: “Who were you talking to earlier?”

Xiang Nuan faltered a bit: “A friend.”

“What friend?”

“Just a friend.”

Lin Chuyan became quiet.

Xiang Nuan felt a bit uneasy, though wasn’t sure why, and tried to change the topic. “Then what are you calling me for?”

Lin Chuyan said: “To wish you a happy new year.”

Xiang Nuan joked: “You’re so insincere just calling to say happy new year. You should come with gifts and say it.”

“Then I’ll go over with gifts tomorrow?”

“Don’t, don’t. I’m just joking”

Lin Chuyan chuckled: “I’m just joking too. Aren’t you silly?”

Xiang Nuan harrumphed.
