Those Sweet Times
Chapter 38 Part 4
Xiang Nuan especially enjoyed her spicy hot rice noodle soup. After eating for a time,
her nose started to run, which she constantly used tissues to wipe.
Lin Chuyan thought he must"ve had too much to drink as he found the way Xiang Nuan
blew her nose to be very cute.
Xiang Nuan noticed that Lin Chuyan hadn"t eaten much. She put down her chopsticks
and said to him: “Lin Chuyan, even though I don"t know why you"re in a bad mood, I do
know how to cheer you up.”
“Oh? How?”
“Come, let"s play game. Playing a game will make you forget your troubles, it works
even better than drugs.”
Lin Chuyan was finally amused: “Alright.”
They sat side by side. Lin Chuyan could see Xiang Nuan"s black hair and her ear
when she happened to pull her hair back as she turned ever slightly.
Lin Chuyan was a little distracted and asked Xiang Nuan as they began to play:
“Xiang Nuan, what"s your New Year"s wish?”
“Me? I want to reach Master.” Xiang Nuan"s New Year"s wish was very simple and
down to earth.
Lin Chuyan didn"t expect it. He was speechless for a while then said: “I thought you
would say Shen Zemu.”
“Uhm, he can wait till next year. I can"t get him any time soon anyway.”
The depression Lin Chuyan felt since this afternoon seemed to have lifted somewhat.
He took a look at the time and said: “Then, before 12 midnight tonight, let"s both get
to Master.”
“You wish! If you didn"t die so many times just now, I would almost believe you.”
Lin Chuyan wasn"t quite focused on the game just now. Xiang Nuan thought his lousy
performance was because he had too much to drink since it just like when she had
drunk too much last time.
She didn"t blame him.
But really, despite Lin Chuya"s reaction time being slower, it was still enough to play well.
He put away his random thoughts and started to play seriously.
In truth, they were already quite close to Master. But the tier before reaching Master
was particularly difficult surpa.s.s. They had tried before but failed.
Today, they reached that final tier again. It was as difficult as before, even Lin Chuyan
grew quite somber.
At 11:57 PM, they finally won their final difficult battle and advanced to the Master tier.
Xiang Nuan was a little dumbfounded. She didn"t expect her New Year"s wish would
really come true.
She had become the strongest Master! It was a historic moment for her!
“Wow, wow, wow. We have to celebrate, celebrate! We need to have a drink!”
Xiang Nuan went to the counter to ask for two cans of beer. She gave one can to
Lin Chuyan.
Just as she had pulled the ring off, she saw fireworks on the dark sky outside the window.
It was dazzling and splendid.
The sound of a bell came from a nearby television, followed by cheers.
“Happy New Year!” Xiang Nuan raised her beer can high in the air.
Lin Chuyan"s right hand had been inside his pocket, tightly holding that little black box.
When he saw the fireworks, he seemed to have a change of mind and released his grip
on the box.
Then he raised his beer can, clinking with hers. The bright smile in his eyes reflected
the brilliant fireworks outside the window: “Happy New Year.”
