Chapter 114 The aloof academic genius is totally in love with him! (24)
On the eve of the Lunar New Year.
Chu Yu turned on all the lights in the house, including the lanterns that the servants had hung up before they left.
It's fine to spend the Lunar New Year alone, but the atmosphere has to be right!
The annual Spring Festival Gala started playing on the TV in the living room right on time.
My first parents called me separately, chatted for a while, and then quickly hung up to continue with their work.
Song Zhihuai was currently attending a family banquet at the Shen family's main residence, so he could only chat with her casually.
This scene reminded her of the days when she spent the Lunar New Year alone in a rented room.
Chu Yu placed the New Year's Eve dinner her parents had ordered on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and enjoyed watching the Spring Festival Gala while eating.
It wasn't until after 10 o'clock that Song Zhihuai sent a message.
S: [What is Xiaoguai doing?]
Zhu Ying retorted: [Watching the Spring Festival Gala~ Has your family dinner ended?]
Song Zhihuai then noticed the girl's new online name, paused for a moment, and then smiled helplessly.
S: [Yeah, just finished. I'd like to video chat, is that okay?]
Chu Yu inexplicably sensed a hint of coquetry in those words, and imagined Song Zhihuai looking sharp in his suit at that moment, yet she typed out such a sentence while holding her phone.
Before she could reply, Song Zhihuai had already made a video call.
After the call connected, the light on the other end of the screen was dim, and the boy's face could only be vaguely seen.
"Where are you? Why is it so dark?"
"I'm going to set off fireworks for you in my backyard, so I turned off all the lights."
The Shen family estate is very large, and as the only son in the family, Song Zhihuai naturally has his own separate villa and courtyard.
Worried that setting off fireworks might disturb the rest of the family, he had specifically mentioned at the dinner party that he would be setting off fireworks in his yard tonight.
"Are you releasing it now? I thought we'd have to wait until midnight."
The little girl's doe eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Song Zhihuai paused, seemingly considering how to begin, "There are elderly people at home. If we let them off at midnight, it might disturb their rest, so how about we let them off a little earlier?"
"When we have the chance in the future, let's set off fireworks together at midnight."
"It's okay, let's get started, I'm ready!"
"it is good."
Song Zhihuai pointed the rear camera at the night sky in front of him, and the screen magnified the little girl's pretty face.
"Whoosh-bang!"
With the first firework exploding, one after another, dazzling fireworks rose into the sky and exploded.
Song Zhihuai put a lot of thought into it, specially selecting a variety of different types of fireworks and finding a professional to help design the order and timing of their ignition.
The entire fireworks display lasted thirteen minutes and fourteen seconds.
The final scene is a string of text—CY, Happy New Year.
As the fireworks faded, the night sky returned to darkness and silence.
Song Zhihuai returned to the room with his phone. With the light restored, Chu Yu was able to see the boy's face clearly.
I don't know how long she had been standing outside, but the tips of her nose and ears were bright red, making her both cute and pitiful.
"Song Zhihuai, go take a hot bath and drink some ginger tea to warm yourself up."
"okay."
He agreed verbally, but didn't move an inch, his dark eyes fixed on the little girl he longed for day and night on his phone screen.
"Hurry up! Otherwise you'll catch a cold."
Winter in the capital is much colder than in Yuncheng; there was even white mist when he spoke outside just now.
The maid had already prepared hot water and brought over steaming ginger tea.
The little girl urged him repeatedly before he finally picked up the water glass beside him, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing, he even showed the empty glass to the camera.
"I've finished it all."
Chu Yu paused for a moment. Did he mean to praise her?
"Great job, Ms. Song!"
but--
"Have you been drinking?"
She hadn't noticed anything unusual since they hadn't exchanged many words outside.
Within minutes of Song Zhihuai returning to the house, his pale face gradually flushed crimson.
In addition, there were his several unusual displays of affection tonight.
She boldly guessed that the man had probably been drinking at the dinner party.
"Yes, I only drank a little."
Song Zhihuai had never drunk alcohol before, but tonight he only had one glass and he was already a little tipsy.
He was forcing himself to stay rational when talking to the little girl.
Afraid of upsetting her, he repeatedly emphasized that he had only drunk a little bit.
"It's okay, you've already drunk it. Be good, go take a shower first, we'll talk when you get back."
"Yes, my little princess."
"..."
Song Zhihuai finally obediently went to take a bath.
Before leaving, he told her not to hang up the video call, as he would be back soon.
Chu Yu took advantage of this time to quickly take a shower and snuggle into her warm bed to wait for him.
They had been together for almost half a year, and this was the first time they had seen him like this.
Normally, Song Zhihuai is calm and composed, lacking the lively energy that a young man should have.
Unexpectedly, after drinking, he became coquettish and somewhat stubborn, and also expressed his demands to her.
Unlike before, he was like a person without desires.
Especially in front of her, he always did whatever she said and rarely made his own requests.
Not long after Chu Yu finished tidying up, Song Zhihuai returned, looking like he had sobered up a bit.
Before she could speak, the boy asked in a deep voice, "Why aren't you drying your hair?"
Why else? Because I'm lazy...
Song Zhihuai knew her too well; even if she didn't say it, he knew why.
She raised her hand to press her temples, her tone somewhat helpless, "Be good, Xiao Bao, go dry your hair, otherwise you'll get a headache, okay?"
"Okay—"
Chu Yu has a hairdryer holder, which is specially used for drying hair. It's a great tool to free up your hands.
When he returned, Song Zhihuai was still at the same angle as before, seemingly without having moved at all.
"I'm done blowing!"
"Hmm, our little darling is such a good boy/girl. It's too late today, how about I reward you with a little cake tomorrow?"
Hearing this new title, Chu Yu's cheeks flushed slightly.
It was as if Song Zhihuai had suddenly flipped a switch; his way of addressing people and his words were much more ambiguous than usual.
She leaned against the soft pillows, her voice barely audible, "Mmm~"
"Is Xiaobao sleepy?"
"I'm not sleepy, what's wrong?"
"Then I'll stay up with Xiaobao to celebrate the New Year, okay?"
"OK."
"Xiao Bao—"
"Ok?"
"I like you."
"..."
Chu Yu was suddenly stunned.
It took me several seconds to process what Song Zhihuai had said.
She never expected him to confess his feelings to her while he was drunk, and she didn't know how to respond.
Song Zhihuai didn't seem to want an answer from her; he simply wanted to express his love. After saying that, he didn't wait for Chu Yu's response and continued to ramble on and on.
"Song Zhihuai".
"I'm here."
"Happy New Year!"
Song Zhihuai then realized that the time had unknowingly reached midnight.
The new year has quietly arrived.
He smiled gently and said, "Happy New Year."
Happy New Year, my girl.
