Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 332 - 223: Another Surprise Trip to the Capital!
"Don’t you two have anything to do?"
"Decorate the Christmas tree at the door!"
Shen Qiushan pointed at the Christmas tree by the door.
Talking about this in front of Lin Xiamo, these two little stinkers really aren’t afraid of being blacklisted by the Red Rose Tavern.
Behind the bar, Fang Xiaoya handed another delicately wrapped gift box to Shen Yanran: "Yanran, this is for you."
"Merry Christmas!"
"Huh?"
"And my gift!"
"Thanks, Sister Xiaoya!"
Shen Yanran was quite surprised, accepted the gift, and thanked her with a chuckle.
"Yanran, actually, you can call me Aunt Xiaoya."
Fang Xiaoya said seriously.
"Uh..."
Shen Yanran was a bit speechless. She knew well Fang Xiaoya’s "ulterior motives" towards her father.
But since they are peers, calling her aunt would be too weird.
"Yanran, you see, I’m good sisters with Jiayu, and she’s your aunt, so it’s quite normal for you to call me aunt too!"
Fang Xiaoya gave an explanation that was both obvious and unnecessary.
But her explanation did make some sense.
"Xiaoya, that’s enough!"
"Don’t make it hard for Yanran, everyone knows your little thoughts!"
Lin Jiayu patted her best friend’s shoulder and said softly, "The falling flower follows the flowing water, but the flowing water is heartless toward the falling flower."
"In the end, it’s unrequited love with no result..."
Lin Jiayu must have been reading romance novels recently.
On the other side, Xu Pipa, who was silently wiping a glass, put it down, then instinctively touched a shopping bag under the bar.
Inside was the Christmas gift she had prepared for Shen Qiushan.
A scarf hand-knitted by herself!
It didn’t cost much money, but took a lot of time and effort!
At the same time.
Sanjiang International Airport.
Shen Yixiao had already arrived at the waiting hall and was calling his friend Wang Yunpeng: "Brother Peng, I’ll arrive in Beijing in three hours, help me prepare some things."
"Fireworks, candles..."
"Yes, I’m going to confess!"
"Don’t worry!"
"What happened last time won’t happen again!"
"Lin Yufei is not Luo Yao!"
After giving some instructions.
Shen Yixiao hung up the phone with satisfaction.
At this moment, Lin Yufei sent a message on WeChat.
[It’s snowing in Beijing, and it’s a big snow]
[Really, be careful, don’t slip]
[I won’t be that clumsy]
[You never know, you don’t seem too smart]
[Tsk~]
[You say that as if you’re very smart]
The two of them bantered back and forth, sometimes teasing, sometimes mixing in daily chats.
After chatting for a while.
Lin Yufei suddenly messaged: It’s Christmas Eve today, are you spending it with Uncle Shen and Yanran?
Shen Yixiao: Yep, who else would I spend it with?
Lin Yufei: That’s great!
Lin Yufei: I kinda miss Yanran.
Gathering his courage, Shen Yixiao thought for a moment and replied: Do you miss anyone else?
Lin Yufei pretended to be oblivious: Who else?
Shen Yixiao: Like my aunt, Lin Jiayu.
Lin Yufei: Of course, I’m often messaging with Sister Jiayu.
Shen Yixiao: Anyone else?
Lin Yufei: Like who?
Shen Yixiao: Me!
Lin Yufei replied with an eye-rolling emoji, then added: No!
Seeing her response, Shen Yixiao couldn’t help but smile uncontrollably.
With so much time spent with Lin Yufei, he knew her well. She often didn’t say what she really meant.
Like now. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
So Shen Yixiao was sure, her answer was actually the opposite.
No means yes.
Not interested means interested!
At this moment, Shen Yixiao’s flight started boarding, so he quickly messaged Lin Yufei: Do you have any Christmas wishes?
Lin Yufei: If it’s a wish, of course, I can’t tell!
Lin Yufei: But, I’d love to build a snowman!
University of Political Science and Law.
Girls’ dormitory.
After sending the last message, Lin Yufei thought Shen Yixiao would quickly reply, but she waited a long time without hearing from him.
She lightly frowned and placed her phone beside her pillow.
At this moment, her best friend Kong Xiaoyi climbed onto her bed with a grin: "Yufei, how are you spending Christmas Eve?"
"Did Shen Yixiao make any move?"
"What could he do!"
"Blockhead!"
Lin Yufei pouted and complained: "We were chatting, then he just disappeared, it’s so rude!"
"Hasn’t he been helping at the Red Rose Tavern lately?"
"It’s Christmas Eve today, the Red Rose Tavern must be really busy, he probably went to work!"
Kong Xiaoyi kindly offered an excuse for Shen Yixiao.
Lin Yufei nodded slightly, accepting her friend’s reasoning.
Because of her connection with Shen Yixiao, Lin Yufei was very interested in Shen Qiushan and the Red Rose Band’s news.
She knew the Red Rose Band was very popular now, and it had also popularized the Red Rose Tavern.
Shen Yixiao often shared his work experiences at the Red Rose Bar with her, so the excuse was valid.
"But he may also be with other girls, getting ready for Christmas Eve."
"Many young, pretty girls visit the Red Rose Tavern every day, surely one might have a story with Shen Yixiao, the boss’ son."
"Besides, to be fair, Shen Scumbag’s external conditions aren’t bad..."
The strategic advisor, Kong Xiaoyi, "rationally" analyzed.
After hearing her words, Lin Yufei couldn’t help but slightly raise her eyebrows.
In the past two months, she could guarantee she had no inappropriate behavior or contact with any guys.
But her ability to maintain this didn’t guarantee Shen Yixiao could!
As the saying goes online, all men are untrustworthy!
"Xiaoyi, what do you think I should do?"
"Just wait passively?"
Lin Yufei frowned, seeking advice from her best friend.
"I think, taking the opportunity of Christmas, revealing your feelings is a good choice."
Kong Xiaoyi shrugged with a smile.
"You mean I should confess first?"
Lin Yufei slightly raised an eyebrow: "He’s a guy, should he really let a girl confess first?"
Kong Xiaoyi shrugged lightly: "Then just keep waiting, you’ve waited this long anyway."
Hearing this, Lin Yufei slumped onto her bed like a deflated balloon.
Moments later, she punched hard on the plush toy that Shen Yixiao won for her at the night market.
This toy had been her companion lately, like a stand-in for Shen Yixiao. Whenever Shen Yixiao annoyed her, or didn’t reply to her messages promptly,
Lin Yufei would vent her feelings on the toy. This time, Shen Yixiao went silent, didn’t reply, and had no Christmas wishes for her.
Not even one Merry Christmas!
