Chapter 379: Where do you like?
"Happy holidays, little fish!"
"Happy holidays...Wenwen."
In the dormitory corridor, Yu Yu answered a call from Yan Wenwen .
"How are you doing in Hangzhou?"
"Not bad."
"Guess where I am now? Hehe, I'm back home."
"Really?" Yu Yu was surprised.
"Why would I lie to you? Although I was a little reluctant when I reported, now it seems that studying in the province is actually quite convenient. I can go back home for this short holiday. For those of you who are out of the province, it's not as convenient as it is for me to come back."
"Um……"
Yu Yu nodded softly, and Yan Wenwen on the other end of the phone started chattering again.
"Oh, by the way, I went to see your mother-in-law today. She is in good health and was very happy to see me."
"Thank you, thank you, Wenwen..."
"Why are you being so polite? Just don't forget about me when you make new friends in college. Oh, by the way, didn't you go anywhere to play today?"
Yu Yu thought about it and it seemed that he just picked up Xu Cheng today and then worked the whole afternoon.
To say it's fun...it doesn't really seem like it.
"I just went out a few times..."
"With your roommate?"
"With...Xu Cheng..."
"Who? Xu Cheng!"
Yan Wenwen's voice on the phone suddenly rose several times, "Xu Cheng is here to find you!"
"Um."
Yu Yu agreed somewhat embarrassedly, "Wenwen, don't speak so loudly..."
"Oh my god, I can't help myself. Did he go there alone or with someone else?"
"…He is alone."
"Wow!"
Yan Wenwen on the other end of the phone was extremely excited and started gossiping non-stop.
"Did he come today? Morning or afternoon? What did you do today?"
Yan Wenwen's rapid-fire questions left Yu Yu at a loss as to where to start answering. After thinking for a while, she had no choice but to tell Yan Wenwen everything that happened today.
Of course, it is a healthy version of youth that omits her bad intentions and shameful behavior.
"How can you do this, Xiaoyu!"
Yan Wenwen's words were heartfelt and expressed her regret for not being able to make the best use of her talents.
"Xu Cheng is here to see you, so he is like a guest. You should be more proactive when dealing with guests. You must ask him where he wants to go and what he wants to do. Xu Cheng must be embarrassed to ask for help, fearing that it will affect your work. But you can't just listen to him. What if he spends the entire holiday in your studio..."
Yu Yu felt a little aggrieved after listening to Yan Wenwen's long speech.
What's wrong with spending all my time in the studio? If everything is just like today, it would be quite nice to be plain and simple.
But if you think about it carefully, what Yan Wenwen said does make sense.
After all, this seems to involve a question of politeness.
And I really ignored Xu Cheng's feelings today.
"Even if you are very familiar with Xu Cheng, you still have to deal with things that need to be dealt with."
"I, I understand."
"Forget it, forget it. With your personality, it's normal that you can't handle this kind of thing. How about this? Just copy my answer."
"ah?"
"Listen to me, tomorrow you will do this..."
This is how it is.
The night passed quickly.
…
"Good morning."
After getting up, Yu Yu hesitated in bed for a long time, and finally chose to go to Xu Cheng's hotel.
In fact, what Yan Wenwen said makes a lot of sense.
Since you are the "landlord", you should be more proactive.
To use Yan Wenwen's words on the phone yesterday:
She must be more proactive and ask Xu Cheng more questions like "Where do you want to play today? How do you want to play today?..." and cooperate with him well.
After all, it’s a rare opportunity for him to come here, so we must give him the best experience.
"It's you, Yu Yu. Wait for me a moment. I haven't put on my clothes yet."
Xu Cheng only showed his head from inside the door, then quickly shrank back in. Another sentence was heard from behind the door.
"Um, Yu Yu, come in and wait, I'll be there soon."
"???"
Yu Yu, who was standing at the door, was stunned for a moment.
Hey hey hey?
Go in and wait!
Looking at the door that was ajar and not locked, the girl didn't know whether she should push the door open or not.
"Come in, I'm putting on pants."
There was another voice behind the door.
Although I am a little confused whether this "put on pants" is present perfect tense or ongoing tense!
The girl thought for a few seconds and felt that the probability of completion should be greater.
After all, in weather like this, it wouldn't take long to put on a pair of shorts.
She then slowly pushed the door open.
However, the scene before her made her face turn red instantly.
What!
The pants are on, so why not the shirt?
It's hard to blame Xu Cheng for this. After all, unlike girls, boys always want to take off their clothes as soon as they return to their room, as this is a different living condition from staying outdoors.
It was such hot weather in Hangzhou, and Xu Cheng was only wearing a T-shirt and shorts.
It is normal for him to take off his T-shirt and expose his upper body when he is indoors.
The boy got up and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash up. Only then did Yu Yu feel less embarrassed than before.
She slowly sat down on the edge of the bed and looked around the room curiously.
Xu Cheng's schoolbag was placed on a chair by the window, and on another chair were the dirty clothes and socks he had taken off yesterday.
The quilt was not folded, just rolled up in a mess.
A few curly black hairs can be seen on the white sheets.
Because it was a closed room, it was easy to smell his scent in the air.
Xu Cheng came out of the bathroom.
"Yu Yu, have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten. I brought you some buns and soy milk..."
"Oh, thank you."
Xu Cheng wiped the water droplets on his cheeks with a towel.
Yu Yu looked at him, mustered up her courage, and stammered out what Yan Wenwen had taught her last night.
"Xu Cheng, let's ..."
She looked at Xu Cheng with great anticipation.
Yan Wenwen even analyzed it for her last night.
Xu Cheng is from another place, how could he be as familiar with this city as you who have lived here for a month?
So, it’s best for you to take the initiative to suggest a few places for him to choose from, or just take him to a location directly.
Yu Yu felt that West Lake was the most suitable location.
She has been in school for so long, but she has rarely seen the most famous lake in this city.
If I have to say, I would say I went there once with my roommate.
But time was tight that time, so they just stood by and didn't go too deep.
We stopped for a while in the square next to it which had a stronger commercial atmosphere, walked around the commercial street together, and then returned to school.
Xu Cheng nodded when he heard this, "Okay, I also want to go to West Lake to take a look."
After hearing Xu Cheng's answer, Yu Yu's trust in Yan Wenwen's arrangement increased a little more.
After quickly finishing his breakfast, Xu Cheng put on a T-shirt and the two went out together.
West Lake is not far from Yu Yu School and can be reached directly by subway.
The closer we got to that place, the more people there were on the subway, and judging by their accents, many of them were from other places.
Yu Yu didn't like lively scenes, which made her feel nervous. She was also afraid that her things would be stolen, so she instinctively shrank towards Xu Cheng, which made her feel at ease.
Coming out of the subway, Xu Cheng looked at a certain place with some surprise, seeing a large group of people in strange costumes.
“There’s actually a cosplayer.”
As a fake 2D fan, Xu Cheng can only recognize classic characters such as Naruto, One Piece, Inuyasha, and Kikyo.
As for the rest, he could only admire the legs wrapped in stockings of various colors and the varying degrees of exposure of the balls.
"Hangzhou is indeed a big city, the girls are just open-minded."
“…”
Looking at Xu Cheng like this beside him, Yu Yu couldn't help but feel a little jealous and pouted in frustration.
Isn't it just that the clothes are a little bit strange...
She imagined herself wearing these clothes in her mind. As an art student, she had a strong ability in composition and could even imagine every detail in the picture.
She was wearing a sailor suit and black knee-high socks, and somehow looked a bit like Sekai Saionji on campus...
Then her imagination gradually became unstoppable, and Xu Cheng dressed as Ito Makoto appeared in her mind.
"Yeah."
The girl shook herself vigorously a few times before she was able to get rid of the horrifying scene.
"Yu Yu, what's wrong?" Xu Cheng noticed the girl's strangeness and asked her with concern.
The girl stammered, "The air conditioning here is a bit cold... I shivered..."
As soon as Xu Cheng arrived, Yu Yu couldn't stop telling lies, but the girl was helpless. She couldn't really tell Xu Cheng that in her imaginary world, you have already died once.
"Oh, let's get out of here quickly then."
As I walked out of the subway station, the view in front of me suddenly became clear. Just being close to the lake, I had a different sense of being close to nature.
After walking a few steps, you will reach the West Lake. Looking at the mirror-like surface of the lake, you will feel relaxed unconsciously.
They both lay on the railing.
It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with layer upon layer of rolling hills that are all in sight.
"It's really beautiful. Let's take a picture." Xu Cheng suggested.
Without waiting for Yu Yu's consent, he took out the camera from his bag.
Xu Cheng moved closer to Yu Yu and tilted his head slightly towards her.
The girl was very sensitive to such distances. She could clearly see her hair blowing in the breeze and floating on Xu Cheng's body and face.
However, Xu Cheng didn't notice it and stretched out his hand to make a "yeah" gesture. Yu Yu shyly imitated him and made the same gesture horizontally next to his eyes, looking very cute.
"eggplant!"
After taking the photo, Xu Cheng lowered his head and fiddled with the camera under the tree.
Yu Yu let out a light breath, and took this opportunity to quietly distance himself from him, thus widening the distance they had just maintained.
At this time, she caught a glimpse of something crawling up Xu Cheng's legs. She thought it was an illusion, but when she looked closely, she found that she was not mistaken. It was a gray squirrel.
"Xu Cheng! On you!"
The girl reminded him, and Xu Cheng also noticed something at this time. He was frightened by the squirrel climbing up his clothes. He staggered back a few steps, and the squirrel jumped off him.
"Hahaha." Yu Yu rarely saw Xu Cheng so flustered. He thought this scene was very interesting and smiled unconsciously.
Her smile is as beautiful as a flower and extremely charming.
Xu Cheng stared in a daze for a few seconds, and the girl squatted down, stretched out her slender arms, and waved at the bold squirrel.
"come over."
It really works.
The squirrel seemed to understand and nimbly jumped into her hand and was held in the girl's arms.
The small eyes, as big as melon seeds, rolled around and looked at her.
"Do you have an affinity for animals, Yu Yu?"
Xu Cheng felt it was incredible and moved closer , trying to touch the squirrel's head, but failed as the squirrel raised its claws to scratch him.
On the contrary, Yu Yu touched it easily, which made her feel proud.
After teasing the squirrel for a while, many tourists appeared around and watched in amazement. Yu Yu was a little uncomfortable with such a scene.
Xu Cheng sent the squirrel away with a few pieces of broken instant noodles, and the two continued their tour along the lake.
"There's a boat over there. Let's go boating on the lake later."
“…Okay, okay.”
Yu Yu was a little surprised.
The idea of rowing was suggested to her by Yan Wenwen, but she didn't expect that Xu Cheng would bring it up to her himself.
After walking for a while, the sky suddenly darkened and a light rain began to fall.
Xu Cheng took out a parasol from his bag and opened it.
The breeze was soft and gentle, and wisps of green smoke were curling around the surface of the lake, like a scene from a painting.
"Let's go have a meal first and take shelter from the rain," Xu Cheng suggested.
Yu Yu nodded.
She felt strange because she was clearly the "master" and should be the one to take the initiative to come up with ideas.
How did it turn out the other way around and it became Xu Cheng who arranged it for her?
It is said that nine out of ten restaurants in scenic spots are scams, so Xu Cheng found a restaurant nearby that seemed to be of decent quality.
The decoration is in ancient style, and some stories of the Legend of the White Snake are written and painted on the walls.
Xu Cheng ordered several local specialties, including West Lake vinegar fish, duck in soy sauce, and shrimp oil chicken...
Yu Yu stared at the story on the wall for a while, and Xu Cheng followed her gaze and took a look too.
"The green snake is actually a male?" He was a little surprised.
Yu Yu nodded.
"At first... he wanted to marry the White Snake as his queen..."
"And then?"
Xu Cheng asked curiously. He also liked the feeling of listening to Yu Yu telling him stories. It was very unique and fresh.
The girl's expression was very serious when she was narrating the story. Under the dim light of the hotel, Xu Cheng unexpectedly discovered that the tip of her nose looked playful and cute.
"Later, I couldn't defeat the White Snake, so I became her maid."
"I see. I watch Legend of the White Snake every summer vacation, but I've never heard of this saying."
"I want to adapt this story for my next comic..."
Yu Yu revealed quietly.
Xu Cheng suddenly became more curious, "What will the adaptation be like?"
"I haven't decided yet..."
The girl was very honest, looking at the distance with a thoughtful look in her eyes, "But I think the White Snake shouldn't be with Xu Xian... I want to draw her and the Green Snake..."
"Not bad, not bad. I'll support this couple first. And Chinese-style works will become more and more popular in the future. I support you."
“…”
Yu Yu bit her lower lip, trying hard not to let the joy rise to the corners of her mouth.
Although Xu Cheng is an outsider who doesn't understand the comics industry, his support and encouragement always make her happy from the bottom of her heart.
But it was still difficult to conceal her smile, so she had to turn her head to look at the thin window with a strong ancient atmosphere.
"The rain has stopped..."
