Chapter 182 Not Cool at All
Fu Xiuyan didn't say anything, but the screen was filled with a bunch of emoticons.
Xia Yang looked closely and saw that it was her own face. Fu Xiuyan had added a line of glittering words: "Please call me the most adorable little cutie."
If you scroll up, they are all the same.
【Xia Yang: Stop.】
[Fu Xiuyan: The baby is here. Isn't he cute?]
[Xia Yang: You are an absolutely adorable little girl.]
Fu Xiuyan: ??? I didn't ask you to call me that. My baby is the ultimate cutie. Isn't he cute? This emoticon.
【Xia Yang: Delete it.】
【Fu Xiuyan: Why?】
[Xia Yang: Not cool at all, too ugly.]
[Fu Xiuyan: Cool. The coolest little cutie in the world.]
[Xia Yang: Where did you get the photo? Did your cousin send it to you?]
[Fu Xiuyan: Yeah. Ask him to take more pictures.]
After her grandfather left, Xia Yang kicked Yu Chi and asked, "Did you send my photo to Fu Xiuyan?"
Yu Chi excitedly searched for his phone everywhere: "Is he done with his work? Did he send you a message? I sent him a photo of the two of us. To piss him off."
Fu Xiuyan happened to send the photo he had saved to Xia Yang. Xia Yang enlarged it and looked at it again and again, but did not see a corner of Yu Chi's clothes.
"Hey? Why didn't he reply to my message?" Yu Chi was depressed. He had sent a bunch of photos and messages to show off to Fu Xiuyan. But now, because Fu Xiuyan ignored them, they were all alone in their chat box, looking lonely and ironic.
[Xia Yang: My cousin is going crazy. Because you ignored him.]
【Fu Xiuyan: I forgot...】
[Xia Yang: ………]
Yu Chi was racking his brains over how to fight back against Fu Xiuyan again, when Fu Xiuyan finally thought of him.
[Fu Xiuyan: Hmm. Is there enough sugar? If not, I'll buy some and send it to you.]
Yu Chi snorted and leaned back in his chair.
Yu Chi: Bah! I won't eat your candy.
[Fu Xiuyan: Isn't what you're eating Xia Xia and I's wedding candy?]
Then Yu Chi blocked Fu Xiuyan while cursing.
Fu Xiuyan sent a message to Yu Chi asking him if he wanted to eat any candy, but found that the message could not be sent.
He immediately called Xia Yang via video. Xia Yang put on headphones and went to the greenhouse. Yu Chi waited until he was almost asleep before Xia Yang came back.
Xia Yang sat down, and Yu Chi said, "I've booked a manor in Country Y. Let's spend the New Year there as a family this year."
Xia Yang was puzzled: "Country Y?"
"I met your dean yesterday at an academic exchange meeting. He said you won an award for one of your research achievements. The award ceremony was held in Country Y, and it happened to be during the Spring Festival."
"Oh, I haven't decided whether to go or not." The sun was getting higher and higher, and Xia Yang covered his face with the book in his hand.
Yu Chi moved his chair until his shadow just fell on Xia Yang's face, then he stopped and asked, "Why don't you go?"
Xia Yang said nonchalantly, "It's not a very important award. It's the same if the school goes instead."
Yu Chi disagreed. "Although it's not the highest award, it's still quite valuable in your field. And I heard from your dean that you're the youngest scholar to have won this award since its inception. Your school really hopes you'll be accepted."
Xia Yang tapped his fingertips lightly on the armrest of the chair without saying a word.
Yu Chi continued to persuade her, "The timing is indeed not very suitable. It happens to be our Spring Festival. I know you don't want to leave home during the Spring Festival. No one in your family wants to leave you either, so I already booked a manor yesterday that is big enough for our family to live in. With your help, let's change the environment and spend a different New Year."
"Grandpa and grandma are old, it's too tiring for them to go through so much trouble. Uncle and aunt..."
"They heard you were going to receive the award, so they've already booked tickets to Country Y. They're just going on a random vacation anyway, so it doesn't matter where they go. Grandpa and grandma, don't worry. Apply for flight routes in advance and take our plane. It's more comfortable, and the environment there is nice too. I've always wanted to take Grandpa and Grandma over to visit..." Yu Chi rambled on, dispelling Xia Yang's concerns one by one: "I haven't asked my aunt and uncle yet. I'll ask them about their time later."
Xia Yang remained silent.
Yu Chi paused for a few seconds and spoke tentatively: "Ayang, do you have other considerations? If you really don't want to go, then we won't go. It's not a big deal."
Xia Yang made up his mind, took the book covering his face away, turned his head and looked at Yu Chi: "Go ahead, brother, you can make the arrangements."
"Really?"
"Ah."
"Then I'll arrange it right away. First, let someone arrange the things that you and your grandparents are used to using." Yu Chi started to get busy.
Xia Yang stood up and said, "I'm going to the piano room." Yu Chi waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
No one knew where Le'an had gone. He was either hanging around his grandmother or fishing with his grandfather.
The piano room is large and well-lit. The entire room is spotless, evidently cleaned daily.
It's called a music room, but it actually houses a wide variety of instruments, large and small. Originally, it was where Xia Yang's mother practiced, including the guqin, piano, and guzheng. Later, when Xia Yang was born, his interest in instruments expanded, encompassing a wide range of genres. The room was then expanded to twice its original size for Xia Yang's use.
Besides Xia Yang's mother, only Xia Yang used this place. After Xia Yang moved out, it was almost always empty. But her grandparents still cared for it meticulously. Every instrument here had a dedicated person to regularly visit and maintain it.
Xia Yang sat in front of the guqin, dazed. How should he tell Fu Xiuyan? This was their first Spring Festival since they met, and also their first Spring Festival after they got married. He had originally thought of pushing this matter over to the school so they could finally have a reunion. But now...
