Age of Legends

Chapter 129 Silence is the Moonlight tonight
The opening of the cultural festival was on Saturday. On Friday night, Zhang Chen sent Shen Nuo to the gate of the community as usual. After returning to his home, he had just finished washing up when he received a text message on his phone: "Are you asleep?"

Shen Nuo pressed the physical keyboard with one finger and sent it: "Yes, in bed."

After sending the text message, Shen Nuoyi felt that it was a bit ambiguous and his face turned slightly red.

This was actually a secret code between the two of them. Zhang Chen would contact her every night, either to say good night or to call her like this.

However, phone calls usually only happen on weekends. Usually, Shen Nuoyi's parents are at home, and she is afraid that they will find out.

This feeling is a bit like cheating. Of course, it doesn't reach the level of cheating, and the two of them are not in that kind of relationship, but as long as I think about it and get close to it, I feel my face burning and a little excited.

Before making a call, Zhang Chen would send a text message instead of calling directly. Otherwise, it would be so late, if Shen Nuoyi didn't answer the call, or her parents were checking her phone, he would be walking into a trap if he called her.

For a good student like Shen Nuoyi, who is also the goddess of the three divisions and four colleges, there are countless people who like her since she was a child. Her parents trust her and know that their daughter can handle these relationships well. In short, they are used to seeing their daughter's suitors and various good intentions, but they can't break through them, even from the outside, so Shen Nuoyi's parents are still relieved.

But if he rashly barged in with a phone call, well, someone would actually break through the outer defense circle. You can imagine what the consequences would be. I'm afraid they would be on high alert against him.

I wouldn't have the trust I have now in her.

So Zhang Chen would send a text message first, "Are you asleep? I have questions, can you help me with them?"

Even if I get caught, yes, it’s me, Zhang Chen. I, Zhang Chen, suddenly feel like studying and go to Shen Nuoyi for tutoring. As for calling so late, after all, we grew up together and are familiar with each other. It’s okay, right, uncle and aunt?

"I'll call you."

"it is good."

The phone was on silent, and Shen Nuoyi picked up the call the moment he saw it coming.

She had a separate room with a long corridor leading to it. If she spoke in a low voice, the sound of the TV playing in the large living room outside would generally not be heard.

"Hello..." Putting the microphone to his ear, listening to Shen Nuoyi's low voice, Zhang Chen thought of that scene and smiled.

"Did you get laid too?"

"Yes, what a coincidence, they are both in bed." Zhang Chen was in the same situation. He was also afraid that Zhang Zhonghua and Huang Huifen would hear it, but his house was not as spacious as Shen Nuo's, so he could only wrap himself in the quilt and make the noise.

This is also drunk.

"Hey... stop talking nonsense..." Shen Nuoyi covered the microphone with her hand, simulating a heavier tone to stop Zhang Chen from talking nonsense. She sometimes felt that although she and Zhang Chen would text and chat at night, hearing his voice on the phone like this was something she looked forward to.

But sometimes she couldn't stand Zhang Chen's sudden words. If it was someone else, she might not talk to him at all. But it had to be Zhang Chen... There was nothing she could do about him.

On the surface, he seems to have grown a lot now, but sometimes the parts of him that haven't grown up yet seem to show up at this time.

Yes, girls in high school seem to be generally more mature than boys of the same age. Plus, Shen Nuoyi has good grades, so she is basically surrounded by a halo. Coupled with the previous stereotypes, Shen Nuoyi still feels a little bit more mature towards Zhang Chen.

But little did she know that Zhang Chen liked to tease her cold nature. In her impression, Shen Nuo valued friendship and loyalty. At an age when many girls were still addicted to idol romance dramas, she seemed to have never been interested in love. When other girls talked, she just smiled and listened, not participating in the discussion.

When other girls cheered for the boys on the court, she didn't seem to stop and watch those handsome boys playing on the court. If she didn't like sports, then some boys with excellent grades who simply showed their love for her also came back empty-handed.

So when Zhang Chen confessed to Shen Nuoyi at that time, he actually just wanted to express his feelings. He was smart not to ask her to respond because maybe she would be forced to respond and reject him, and he would not care. However, she might become defensive against him and distance herself from him, not daring to continue being friends.

But what he didn't expect was Shen Nuoyi's "I like you a little bit, too."

As you can imagine, it was still very provocative. Even Zhang Chen, a soul from two lives, had to admit that her response made him like her even more and felt that it was more worthwhile.

So after that, Zhang Chen treated her more attentively. In fact, he expressed his feelings at that time with this consideration. He wanted to get closer to Shen Nuoyi, treat her well, share delicious food with her, chat with her at night, and gradually sublimate them beyond friends.

But if you suddenly show concern for her, no matter how slow the girl is, she will understand the reason. She is not a fool. Zhang Chen, who has been reborn, is tired of the riddle-like guessing game between men and women. It is better to be clear about the situation directly.

I like you, so I just want to be nice to you. Even if my being nice to you has nothing to do with you, you don't have to respond to me.

I just miss the time when I still could like someone and fell in love with love.

……

"Should we get up early tomorrow?"

"Well, we're going to be the carbon-based display screen tomorrow. How are your preparations for the performance going?" Shen Nuoyi's deliberately lowered voice sounded in Zhang Chen's ears through the microphone, sounding somewhat hypnotic.

The carbon-based display screen is a joke to the people holding the placards. It just acts as a pixel.

Shen Nuoyi added, "If I had known earlier, I would have signed up for cosplay as well."

I'm not sleepy anymore when you say that. Zhang Chen smiled and said, "The performance is just like that. I'm almost ready. So what are you cosplaying?"

"I... I only have a costume similar to Fairy Zixia..." Shen Nuo said, "When I went traveling, there was a place where people could take photos wearing this kind of costume, so I bought one."

"A Chinese Odyssey" has been popular since the 1990s, and has been sold in every corner of the mainland in the form of pirated VCDs. This movie was not very popular in Hong Kong at the time, and was even called a bad movie. Who knew it would become popular in the mainland and become a classic?

"You should have said it earlier. If you want to cosplay Fairy Zixia, I will cosplay Zhizunbao." What's the point of having a thick face? I don't need it. Zhang Chen thought as he spoke.

"..."

Shen Nuoyi was silent again.

Zhang Chen felt that was enough. It was late at night, so he shouldn’t tease the girl too much. Her coldness had to be pried off little by little.

If you use too much force, she will become like the Shell Girl. The hard shell that was about to open will quickly close and hit your head against the wall.

Okay, okay.

"Go to bed early. It looks like you'll be busy for a long time tomorrow." Shen Nuoyi said.

"Okay... then what should you tell me?" Zhang Chen asked with a smile. Face is nothing. I can pick it up and throw it away.

"..."

The Shell Girl was silent again.

You might as well just keep silent.

"Good night."

The voice in the microphone said so.
