Chapter 1029 The Reserved Academic Genius vs. the Sweet Girl (21)
Shen Shuyi had just finished showering when the system dragged her to watch a show, not forgetting to offer its commentary.
[Host, it seems Fang Muhe is trying to hook up with Ye Feng.]
Shen Shuyi chuckled, "As expected of a top student, her mind is so quick. Ye Feng was completely fooled by her."
"It's like being possessed by an evil spirit."
[This is a small world derived from a romance novel, so the female lead naturally has a halo, and it's normal for Ye Feng to have a natural affinity for her.]
Shen Shuyi pursed her lips. "Is this normal? It's a bit like a marionette."
But none of this concerns her.
She washed her face, quickly climbed into bed, lay down comfortably, and called Xiao Yi.
"Brother Yi, are you asleep?"
Xiao Yi was still reading when he looked up at the video camera and smiled, "Not yet."
"Why aren't you asleep yet? Aren't you tired today?"
"It's okay, I just missed my brother!" Shen Shuyi winked at him.
Xiao Yi looked at her intently, "Shuyi, I wish I were by your side right now."
I really want to hug you.
"Just a hug?" Shen Shuyi gave him a reproachful look.
Xiao Yi's voice was a little hoarse as he looked at her lips. "I really want to see you."
Shen Shuyi didn't dare look him in the eye and quickly moved the camera down, "Stop talking, I want to sleep."
There was no sound from the other end.
Shen Shuyi glanced at her phone and realized that the camera was pointed at her front, and the neckline of her spaghetti strap nightgown was too low—that was the angle from which it had been positioned.
Xiao Yi must have seen it!
Her face flushed. "What are you looking at?!"
Xiao Yi's ears burned. "I didn't mean to."
"Hmph, I'm going to sleep!"
Okay, good night.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yi's heart pounded for a long time.
He didn't mean to see that expanse of white, but once he saw it, he couldn't take his eyes off it.
It's true, Shuyi is petite, yet so...
Xiao Yi couldn't concentrate on his book anymore, so he simply lay back on the bed, but every time he closed his eyes, all he could see was Shen Shuyi's every smile and frown.
They'll be able to meet after winter break. Shuyi will give him an answer then.
Xiao Yi was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
……
As the New Year draws near, the air is filled with the joy of welcoming the new year, but Xiao Yi's worries are piling up day by day.
His parents would come to his door every few days, insisting that he come back to celebrate the New Year with them. Especially his father, who had not been able to have another son for many years after remarrying, always missed his intelligent, outstanding, and academically excellent biological son.
Xiao Yi's attitude remained firm; she had already clearly refused, neither wanting to live in either family's home nor hoping they would disturb her peaceful life any further.
At times like these, Xiao Yi misses Shen Shuyi terribly.
Shen Shuyi noticed his emotions and comforted him on the phone for a while before finally saying, "Brother, I really miss you."
Hearing her soft, sweet voice, Xiao Yi's worries instantly vanished.
He smiled and said, "Yiyi, I miss you too."
"Brother, are you spending the New Year alone this year?" Shen Shuyi asked, looking at the boy in the video. "Maybe I should go back to City A earlier."
“You don’t need to come back early.” Xiao Yi’s smile widened. “I’m used to being alone. You should take advantage of your vacation to spend time with your family.”
"Okay." Shen Shuyi chatted with him for a while longer before putting down her phone and going to sleep.
The Shen family was bustling with activity during the Lunar New Year. After the holiday, Shen Shuyi was supposed to visit her grandparents with her father, but the original owner of this body disliked her grandparents because they looked down on her as a girl who couldn't inherit the family business. They were always hoping for another son. Fortunately, Shen's father was steadfast and had a deep relationship with his wife, so they weren't swayed. However, after learning about this, the original owner decided not to go to her grandparents' house.
When Shen Shuyi was talking to Xiao Yi about this, she suddenly heard Xiao Yi say, "Yiyi, do you want to see me now?"
"What do you mean?" She blinked.
Xiao Yi's ears burned a little. "You can check my location."
Shen Shuyi's eyes lit up when she saw it, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Yi, you've come to Beijing?!"
"Yes, I just got off the plane and arrived at a hotel near your house." Xiao Yi took out his room key to open the door, put his backpack down, sat down in front of the sofa, and turned on the video call.
"look."
"I saw it! I saw it!" Shen Shuyi quickly stood up. "I'm coming to find you!"
Xiao Yi quickly said, "Don't worry."
"Talk to your family properly and we can meet at the nearby mall for a meal and a chat, okay?"
"Of course, no problem! I told them I was going to hang out with Li Ruirui!" Shen Shuyi added, "If we become boyfriend and girlfriend, I'll tell them the truth!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi's ears burned and his cheeks turned red. He whispered, "Let's talk outside."
"Wear something warm, it's a bit cold outside."
"Okay~" Shen Shuyi changed her clothes, tied on a scarf, and went out.
Xiao Yi took a shower and went out to wait. He stood outside the bustling mall entrance, and when he saw Shen Shuyi, whom he hadn't seen for several days, his breath caught in his throat.
The girl who walked over had her hair tied in a low ponytail, her eyes were bright, and she was wearing a red woolen plaid coat. A white scarf made her small face look particularly delicate and beautiful.
"Brother!" Shen Shuyi rushed forward and threw herself into Xiao Yi's arms.
Xiao Yi hugged her waist, "Shuyi, Yiyi, I missed you so much."
Shen Shuyi took his hand, looked up and smiled, saying, "I missed you too!"
"Are you hungry? Let's eat first!"
"I'm not hungry, I ate something on the plane." Xiao Yi was reluctant to let go.
Shen Shuyi tiptoed and whispered in his ear, "Let's eat first, then we'll take a walk in the nearby park. I heard there's a fireworks show tonight!"
Her breath brushed against his ear, and Xiao Yi tensed up, his ears burning. His voice was a little hoarse when he spoke, "Okay."
In winter, the sunset appears as early as 5 pm, with a crimson glow spreading across the horizon.
Xiao Yi held Shen Shuyi's hand and walked towards the seaside park. The boy's bangs were blown by the sea breeze, and his gaze was always on the girl beside him.
"Yiyi, how have you been lately?"
Shen Shuyi thought his voice was so gentle. She shook Xiao Yi's hand and said, "Don't we video chat almost every day? Look how much weight I've gained! I'm so happy!"
"Brother Yi, what brings you here all of a sudden?"
“It’s not sudden.” Xiao Yi squeezed her hand slightly. “I’ve wanted to see you since the day you left. I’ve been restraining myself from coming to see you, afraid of putting you in a difficult position.”
"I'm so happy to see you, there's nothing to be embarrassed about!" Shen Shuyi scratched his palm. "Brother, you're overthinking it~"
Xiao Yi had something on his mind that he didn't say aloud: once school started, they would be able to be together every day.
The two sat on a park bench facing the sea. There were many children setting off small fireworks on the beach, and adults taking a walk.
Shen Shuyi leaned on Xiao Yi's arm and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yi~ Didn't I say I'd tell you the answer when we got back to City A?"
She looked up and met Xiao Yi's deep eyes, her eyebrows curving as she said:
"I'm changing my mind now!"
Xiao Yi's breath hitched, and a surge of excitement welled up inside him.
