“You’re back.” Li Shen spoke naturally, his voice gentle and soothing. Yu Wan calmed her mind and finally recovered her voice, “En, what are you doing here?”
Li Shen smiled at her and asked, “I live next door? Is it weird that I would be here?”
“It’s not….” Yu Wan discovered that whenever she is in front of Li Shen, her expressive ability is like that of a kindergartener, “What I mean to say is, shouldn’t you attend an after-party or something? After all, you won three awards.”
Li She responded, “No, I came back right after the ceremony. I have a song recording tomorrow.”
“Oh….”
“I felt a little stuffy so I decided to go for a walk around the neighborhood.” Li She looked at her. As always. she is wearing her business outfit today and is carrying a big bag on her shoulder which looks to be very heavy. She is also wearing a pair of flat-heeled boots. It looks like after she twisted her ankle the last time, she had learned her lesson.
After Li Shen finished speaking, the two were quiet for a few seconds. Li Shen was a little vexed and felt he is a fool. After the award ceremony today, he wanted to see Yu Wan for no reason. When he came back, he saw the lights in Yu Wan’s house were off so he waited for her.
Now, seeing her after waiting for a while, he doesn’t know what to say to her.
He watched Yu Wan simply standing there and suddenly felt he may not have wanted to say anything to her. He just wanted to look at her.
“Well...congratulations once again, how do you feel after winning so many awards?” Yu Wan finally choked out a topic in the stifling silence.
Li Shen softly laughed, “It feels like a dream. To put it bluntly, the top three artists, especially Gu Xin and Sima Xiaoxiao, I grew up listening to their songs. Unexpectedly, there would be a day where I will receive an award with them.”
“Hahaha.” Yu Wan was amused by Li Shen’s words, “Say it again. I will record it and post it on the internet. You will end up on the hot search again.”
Li Shen also chuckled. Yu Wan curiously asked, “What do the trophies look like? Can I see it?”
“They’re in the car.” Li Shen looked back at the direction of his garage, “Do you want to go look?”
“Okay!”
She happily followed Li Shen to his garage. There are two cars parked inside. One is an off-roading car that Yu Wan had seen before and the other is the one Li Shen drove to the award ceremony.
Li Shen opened the car door and said to Yu Wan, “The trophies are inside. The boxes are a little heavy.”
He took out a box and opened it. In it contained the Song Ballad trophies. The number at the very top represented the years since the first Song Ballad Award. The small print on the base was engraved with the winning song and ranking.
Yu Wan wanted to reach out and touch it but she refrained herself, “Is it pure gold?”
The microphone is pure gold.”
“That’s not bad. The microphone isn’t too small!”
Li Shen smiled and bent down to get the other two boxes. Yu Wan curiously glanced inside. When Li Shen straightened up, he appeared in front of her.
The distance between the two is very close and the garage lights aren’t on. The dim space created an ambiguous atmosphere. Li Shen and Yu Wan froze on the spot as if they forgot to move. They stood there numbly, nether retreating or advancing.
Li Shen’s breath fell on her cheeks. His eyelashes, which are praised by countless fans, quivered in the air.
Yu Wan’s heart quivered as she watches Li Shen’s lips get closer and closer to hers.
At this moment, Li Shen’s phone suddenly rang. The sudden noise seemed to have broken the spell, waking them up from a dream.
Li Shen’s eyelashes moved again. He looked away and answered the call, “Mom? En, I’m home. En, thank you. I will…”
When Yu Wan heard Li Shen talking to his mother on the phone, her cheeks start to heat up. Did Li Shen want to kiss her just now? What’s worse, she didn’t try to avoid it.
She pursed her lips. She typed the words “I’m going back” on her phone and showed it to Li Shen.
While Li Shen is listening to his mother on the phone, he watched Yu Wan carry her bag and quickly walked into the night, his eyes sinking.
He almost kissed Yu Wan. If his mom hadn’t called, would he have already kissed her?
They are not a couple. This was clearly out of line but he couldn’t control himself. He didn’t even realize what he was doing until he did it.
“Shenshen, are you listening?”
“I’m here.” Li Shen replied, “I will take care of myself.”
“That’s good. Don’t work too hard, your health is important.”
“En.” Li Shen paused and said to his mother, “Mom, thank you for calling me.”
“This child, why are you so polite talking to your mother?”
Li Shen chuckled and didn’t answer. If she hadn’t called, Yu Wan would definitely slap him and leave.
That evening, Yu Wan had a dream. She dreamt of Li Shen’s eyelashes, his eyes, and his kisses that fell on her.
When she woke up the next day, she bitterly pursed her lips. Sure enough, spring is coming, she is even dreaming of romance.
Perhaps what happened the previous night was embarrassing for both of them as they had no contact with each other for several days. The next time she saw someone who is related to Li Shen was at the end of March. When Yu Wan came home from work, she saw a girl walking Lili.
This girl is different from the girl from before. When Lili saw Yu Wan, it immediately became active. After greeting Lili, Yu Wan turned to the girl, “You are?”
“Oh, I am the owner’s cousin!”
Yu Wan, “....”
After she returned home, she found Li Shen’s name on the contact list and shared a song.
Li Shen is currently recording a variety show so he won’t be back at A City until early April. While he is taking a break from the recording, he leaned against the wall of the practice room and took out his phone.
He especially followed Yu Wan’s activity so when he opened WeChat, he saw that she shared 《How Many Sisters Do You Have》with him.
“Pfft” Li Shen couldn’t help but laugh as he texted back, “Did you see my assistant again?”
Yu Wan: It’s no Xiao Dong from before.
Li Shen: En, Xiaodong is here with me. That is Xiao Su.
Yu Wan: [oK]
Li Shen: I don’t feel rest assured leaving Lili with others and she doesn’t like being in a new environment so I always have to let my assistant come to my house.
Yu Wan: Oh, wouldn’t Lili grow restless if you leave her alone for a long period of time?
Li Shen: Yes, but she is amazing[smile]Last time when I caught a fever, it was because she pulled off my quilt in the middle of the night [smile]
Yu Wan: Hahaha
Li Shen: [smile] I will be back in a few days. If you are not busy, you can go play with Lili. She likes you a lot.”
Chi Lu, who was sitting on the side, slightly frowned as she saw Li Shen smiling and texting. Xiao Dong also secretly glanced at Li Shen, wondering what is going on? It looks as if he is texting a girlfriend.
Although she thought this, she didn’t say anything. Besides, Lulu jie is here and if there is something going on, she couldn’t do anything about it.
After the recording finished in the evening, Li Shen went back to the hotel and took a shower. When he came out, he received a few photos of Lili from Assistant Xiao Su who said that Lili’s in a bad mood and isn’t eating.
Li Shen wanted to make a video call with Lili when he heard a knock. He leaned back and shouted to the door, “Who is it?”
“It’s me, Chi Lu. I want to talk to you about tomorrow’s schedule.”
Li Shen got off of the bed and walked over to open the door. Chi Lu stood outside the door, wearing only wore a bathrobe. Li Shen slightly frowned, “Lulu jie, why are you dressed like this?”
She simply replied, “I just took a shower and am too lazy to change.”
Li Shen pursed his lips, “Who knows what may happen if someone sees you coming to my room in sleepwear.”
“It won’t be that serious. Everyone knows I am your agent.”
“It’s better to avoid it. Didn’t you always tell me to pay attention to my surroundings?”
The corner of Chi Lu’s lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something. Just then, Xiao Dong, who is staying not that far from them, opened her door and looked towards them, “Lulu jie, Shen ge, what’s going on?”
When Li Shen saw her coming out, he said, “Lulu jie said to wants to discuss tomorrow’s schedule. You come over as well.”
“Oh, ok.”
Xiao Song closed her door and walked over. Before she arrived, Chi Lu turned and walk back to her room, “I’ll go change.”
Xiao Dong watched her walk to her room and whispered to Li Shen, “Shen ge, what’s with Lulu jie?”
Li Shen walked back inside, “I don’t know.”
Xiao Dong looked at Chi Lu’s door again before following Li Shen inside.
Li Shen stayed on-site for seven days and finished recording the program. After returning to A City, he has a day off before he has to record again.
In the few days he was gone, Lili had completely wrecked the house. He almost suspected she was a Husky disguised as a Shibu Inu.
“Do you want to die?”Li Shen sat on the carpet and pinched Lili’s face. Lili whined in dissatisfaction as if to say “You heartless man!”
Li Shen smiled and gave her a good rub, “I heard from Xiao Su that you aren’t obediently eating. But it doesn’t look like you got skinnier, you’re still full of flesh.”
“Woof woof!”
Lili was about to jump on Li Shen’s head. Li Shen pulled her down and appeased, “Okay. After I put everything away, I will take you out for a walk.”
“Woof woof!” Lili doesn’t seem satisfied with the arrangement and seemed to want him to take her out right now. Li Shen had no choice but to follow her needs.
Because of his special status, he seldom chooses to walk around the neighborhood in the day. When he takes his dog out for a walk, he would usually do it at night. In order to take Lili out today, Li Shen put on a hat. Occasionally, when he passed by one or two community residents, he would bury his head.
Halfway through the walk, much to Li Shen’s surprise, Zhu Gan called. After he accepted the call, Zhu Gan’s words made him even more surprised, “Actually, um, I’m getting married.”
Li Shen, “....”
He never imagined among their group of roommates, Zhu Gan would be the first to get married.
“With who?”
Who else can it be? Of course, it’s Chen Si!”
Chen Si is Zhu Gan’s girlfriend after graduating. Li Shen also heard about it after he left the army. He never expected they would get married so quickly.
He pulled the leash of Lili who was walking in the front and said Zhu Gan, “Congratulations, when’s the wedding?”
“About that….” Zhu Gan awkwardly laughed, “I haven’t actually proposed to her yet.”
Li Shen, “....”
Then why are you saying so much?
“I just thought, since you’re popular with girls, I want to want to ask you how I should propose.”
Li Shen said, “Receiving women’s admiration is only natural. I have never thought of this.”
Zhu Gan, “....”
He humphs and said, “Then I will ask Lily. After all, I also know her account number. She is a wedding planner so she should know this.”
“Wedding planners are mainly responsible for what happens after the proposal is a success.”
Zhu Gan, “....”
Goodbye, the most unfortunate thing that happened in this life is having Li Shen, this roommate.
“Stop looking for Yu Wan in the game. She was playing it because of her job but now she rarely goes online. If you really want to find her, I will help you.”
“Really?” Zhu Gan was overjoyed, Shen ge, you really are my good brother!”
“I will contact you if I have any news.”
“Okay!”
After Li Shen hung up, he walked to Yu Wan’s house. Since is it the day and the lights are on, he wasn’t sure if she is at home or not. He walked around Yu Wan’s house for a while when he saw a man’s shirt hanging on the balcony of her unit.
Li Sehn’s steps faltered as he stared at that men’s shirt. Yu Wan must have been doing laundry. Her sweaters, jackets, and skirts are hanging on the balcony and among them is the clean men’s shirt.
Since he reunited with Yu Wan, although the topic was never brought up, it can be seen that she is still single so why is there a men’s shirt on her balcony? Could it be that while he was away filming, she got herself a boyfriend?
Li Shen furrowed his brow. Is it his boss? What’s his name, Wei Shao?
He stood under her building for a while before walking Lili back to his villa. Lili doesn’t seem satisfied with the walk and pulled Li Shen to play with her in the yard.
Li Shen took out one of her favorite toys to play with and closed the gate as he walked out.
Yu Wan lived in building 47, third floor, unit 602.
There is also a door buzzer below the complex. Li Shen enters the unit number and hit the call button.
Yu Wan didn’t go to the company today and Miss Hu didn’t call her. It is quite rare for her to take a small break. However, it can’t be regarded as a vacation. She still has a lot of work to do.
When she heard the doorbell ring, she ran to her front door to answer. When she pressed the call button, Li Shen’s face appears on the screen.
Yu Wan froze for a moment, “Li Shen?”
