I thought the other party was busy with many things and would ignore my messages.
But Xue Du replied immediately: [I’m free.]
After a few seconds, he asked again: [What's wrong? [Rabbit peeking out jpg.]]
Shen Yinan thought carefully and sent a message: [My grandma’s birthday is next month. I want to ask if you can come to attend that day? ]
After the message was sent, the other party kept showing "Inputting..."
Shen Yinan bit his fingertips and typed out a bunch of words, the general effect of which was that he would keep his distance, not let others misunderstand his relationship with Xue Du, and not affect Xue Du's reputation.
Just after sending it, the other party also sent two words at the same time:
【convenient. 】
Shen Yinan: “…”
The other party was so straightforward, and he had typed so many words, but he felt like he was judging others by his own standards...
Shen Yinan was embarrassed for a moment and quickly withdrew.
Unexpectedly, Xue Du sent another message right after that.
D: [I saw it.]
D: [Don't worry about outside opinions.]
D: [The innocent will be cleared.]
Shen Yinan's face was a little hot: [Hmm. ]
The conversation ends here.
But Shen Yinan did not exit the message interface.
For some reason, he scrolled through their chat history and suddenly found that Xue Du's avatar had changed.
When I first added it, it was a sunset and the sea, but now it has been replaced by an orange Pomeranian holding a bread toy in its mouth.
The puppy has a round face, its black gemstone-like eyes are wide open, its ears are erected, and it looks cute and complacent.
Ana Shen likes small animals very much, but Bai Xiuli thinks pets are dirty and there are no such things at home.
Unconsciously attracted by the cute puppy, Shen Yinan wanted to click it to take a look, but accidentally clicked twice.
Xue Du’s profile picture shook twice.
System prompt: I tapped "D".
Shen Yinan: …
He was trying to withdraw in a panic, but a phone call popped up from the other end.
Shen Yinan could only bite the bullet and accept it.
The other side didn’t speak, Shen Yinan greeted quietly: “Hello…”
A low laugh was heard.
Shen Yinan’s ears felt hot, and he explained: “I, I thought your profile picture was cute, so I accidentally clicked it, I didn’t mean to disturb you…”
"I rather hope that's what it means." A very low murmur.
Ana Shen didn’t hear clearly: “What?”
"Nothing." Xue Du smiled. "KK is Xue Ning's dog. Do you like animals?"
"Yeah, very cute."
"Then I'll bring it to you to play with next time."
Shen Yinan was slightly stunned.
Next time? When did they schedule their next meeting?
Xue Du seemed to be aware of this problem as well and coughed lightly: "Look, actually my mom wants to see our photo, but I forgot today, so... when can we take another one for my family?"
There seemed to be some embarrassment in his tone.
Shen Yinan felt a little guilty. He was too anxious to pick up his grandmother in the afternoon, which caused Xue Du to not take pictures.
Their contract originally stated that they had to cooperate with Party A to fool their parents.
He thought for a moment and asked, "What about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? I'm free this weekend, it depends on your availability."
"Is Sunday okay? I have a lab tour on Saturday."
"Sure, what time? Where do we meet?"
"I want to pick you up at your house." Xue Du chuckled. "Is that convenient?"
“You…just tell me the location.” Shen Yinan didn’t want to trouble anyone.
Xue Du did not refuse immediately, but said: "Actually, I have something else I want to ask you."
Shen Yinan asked, “What’s the matter?”
"I want you to help me with some advice on a gift for Grandma Shen. I don't really know what the old lady likes." Xue Du's voice came from the other end of the microphone, with a more bewitching hoarseness than usual. "After all, this is the first time I meet your family, so I have to cater to their preferences."
The other party prepared a birthday gift for his grandmother so seriously, Shen Yinan felt a little embarrassed and quickly agreed.
Xue Du seemed to think it was not enough, and wanted to be precise in details: "By the way, what color does Grandma Shen like? Let me choose the clothes first."
"Royal blue or black is fine," Shen Yinan said.
He suddenly felt that Xue Du was much more qualified than himself to play the role of boyfriend.
Xue Du asked him some more questions about his previous cooperation with Han Xu, and ended the conversation after telling him to keep a distance from Han Xu.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yinan didn't immediately do his own thing.
He looked down at the call time on his phone.
13 minutes and 14 seconds.
It's really strange that some numbers are obviously very common, but they are given special meanings by humans because of their homophones.
The phone vibrated slightly, it was Xue Du sending a voice message.
Two very short words.
"good evening."
But the moment you hear it, it's like an electric current running through it, low and gentle, with a bit of early spring warmth, drilling into your ears little by little, quietly imprinting the temperature in your brain.
His fingertips unconsciously touched the screen, then retracted as if burned.
Ana Shen glanced around.
It’s so strange. I’m not turning on the heater, so why does it feel a little hot?
He got up and went downstairs, intending to go to the restaurant to get some ice water to calm down.
The phone rang again.
Shen Yinan was subconsciously nervous, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that it was a message from Chi Xingyao.
He stood at the stairs, ignoring the slight sense of loss that inexplicably emerged in his heart, and clicked on the dialogue interface.
Chi Xingyao: [Good news! Xue Ning and her ex-girlfriend are back together! She's treating us to a meal in a few days. Do you want to come? It's going to be fun~]
