Chapter 482 Cheng Xuyuan, who lies with his eyes open
The year ends with the sound of firecrackers!
Although it is not New Year's Eve yet, the sound of firecrackers can be heard all around.
Children who are not restricted by their parents and have some money in their hands almost all use their money to buy various small firecrackers.
So the night sky is always filled with the sound of firecrackers and children's laughter.
Shen Yumo was watching TV, and opposite her, Cheng Xuyuan was flipping through a book.
The two of them occasionally talked to each other, but most of the time, they were doing their own things.
There was no awkwardness or awkwardness in this situation.
It's more soft and casual.
Shen Yumo felt that he enjoyed this feeling very much.
“Boom boom boom!”
There was another knock on the door, and Shen Yumo frowned slightly.
She really disliked the sudden knock on the door at this time.
She didn't want anyone to disturb her peace at this moment.
But when she heard the knock on the door, she still opened it.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was walking towards the door, he heard someone outside say, "Sister Yumo, are you home? I'm Li Meng."
Hearing this voice, Shen Yumo's face changed.
She originally thought it was a neighbor, but unexpectedly, it was actually her aunt's cousin.
During this period of time, Shen Yumo has been reducing his interactions with his aunt's family.
Because she really didn't want her aunt to know that she was pregnant.
But I didn't expect that my cousin from my aunt's family would come to see me at this time.
This made Shen Yumo's heart tremble.
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Shen Yumo's strange expression and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"
Shen Yumo hesitated for a moment, but still said, "He is my aunt's cousin."
"If he sees me like this, then my parents will know."
Cheng Xuyuan had never expected that he would encounter such a thing when he was accompanying Shen Yumo during the Spring Festival.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned to Shen Yumo and asked, "Has your cousin been here?"
"He hasn't been here." Shen Yumo said affirmatively: "My cousin just got admitted to university and has been busy studying recently."
Cheng Xuyuan nodded and said, "You go hide for a while, I will handle this matter."
Although Shen Yumo felt a little uneasy about leaving this matter to Cheng Xuyuan, she had no choice at this moment.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and hid in the inner room.
Seeing Shen Yumo hiding, Cheng Xuyuan opened the door this time. While opening the door, he glanced outside and saw that the door on the opposite side was not open, so he asked: "Who are you looking for?"
Li Meng was a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old. He had seen Shen Yumo before and thought that the person who came out when the door opened would be his cousin.
But I didn't expect that there was a man in his twenties inside.
The man looked quite handsome under the light.
When Li Meng saw this man, his first feeling was to be stunned.
Because this was so unexpected.
"I know my cousin Shen Yumo, and I am his cousin Li Meng. May I ask who you are..." While speaking, Li Meng looked at Cheng Xuyuan with a scrutinizing gaze.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Look for Editor Shen. She doesn't live here. She lives across from my house."
"I'm her colleague."
When Li Meng came, although he had heard his mother tell him where Shen Yumo lived, when Cheng Xuyuan said seriously that he had found the wrong place, he actually believed it.
It’s not that he is easy to be deceived, but in this situation, he has to believe it.
After all, he had never been here before, and the person sitting opposite him was someone he didn't know, who claimed to be Shen Yumo's colleague.
Thinking that his cousin's colleague was really handsome, Li Meng quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, brother, I got the wrong location."
“I’m sorry!”
As he spoke, he went to knock on the door opposite.
How could Cheng Xuyuan let him go and knock on the door? If he did, everything would be exposed.
So he said in a deep voice: "Li Meng, right? Don't knock on your cousin's door. She lives in the same family as us. Our female colleague from Gulangyu Island has returned to her hometown."
"He said he wanted to go to Gulangyu Island to have a look during the New Year."
Li Meng was very surprised that Shen Yumo actually went out shopping during the New Year.
But then, a hint of envy appeared on his face.
For him, being able to travel freely during the Chinese New Year is really enviable.
Unfortunately, although he is a college student, he is forced to stay at home by his family.
"My cousin is really cool." Li Meng said with emotion: "Do you know when she will be back?"
"It should be when I'm almost at work."
"How about this, you leave me your phone number, and I'll ask her to call you when she comes back." Seeing that the young man had believed his lies, Cheng Xuyuan continued.
Li Meng hurriedly said, "Thank you."
"I don't need to leave my phone number. My sister knows my home phone number."
"Just wait for her to come back and ask her to call me."
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Okay, I will tell her when she comes back."
Seeing that the work was done, Li Meng felt embarrassed to continue disturbing Cheng Xuyuan. After a few polite words, he said goodbye and left.
As Li Meng went downstairs, Shen Yumo walked out of the room.
She had just heard the conversation between Cheng Xuyuan and Li Meng clearly, so she couldn't help but ask, "Why did you say I was traveling?"
"If you don't say that, your aunt will ask your cousin to come find you, or come to find you in person. In this way, you will meet your aunt and her family in a short time."
Cheng Xuyuan said: "It's better to let them think you are out and not look for you for a while."
Shen Yumo hesitated for a moment and could only nod slightly.
The two of them huddled in front of the window, and in the light, they watched Li Meng walking out downstairs, neither saying a word.
After a while, Cheng Xuyuan said, "You will encounter many such scenes in the future. You must be prepared."
Shen Yumo nodded and said, "I know, thank you for your concern."
Cheng Xuyuan said: "There's no need to be polite between us."
As he spoke, Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll call Brother Yulin tomorrow and tell him that you called home."
"I told them I was going to Gulangyu Island to have some fun and told them not to worry."
After a little thought, Shen Yumo knew that this was her best choice at the moment.
"Okay, everything is up to you."
After discussing this matter, the two continued to work on their unfinished tasks. The small room was filled with a warm atmosphere.
But as time went by, the night gradually deepened.
Cheng Xuyuan, who failed to buy a bed at the Overseas Chinese Store, had to sleep in the same bed with Shen Yumo this time.
But this time, Cheng Xuyuan was less embarrassed than before. He just lay down on the bed and prepared to fall asleep.
Shen Yumo looked at Cheng Xuyuan lying on one side of the bed. After hesitating for a moment, she went to the other end of the bed again.
"Are we going to make dumplings tomorrow?" Shen Yumo suddenly asked after the lights were turned off.
"Of course, why not? We have even bought the dumpling fillings." Cheng Xuyuan responded.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Yumo said, "Okay, let's eat dumplings tomorrow night."
At this point, she suddenly asked, "Do you think my aunt will come to see me after she goes to work?"
Hearing this question, Cheng Xuyuan frowned, because this is really not impossible.
