Absolutely Spoiled - Chapter 43.2

Chapter 43.2

Because it was not the winter season, there were still mosquitoes. So after they walked for a while, Yu Zhiyi felt her left arm was a bit itchy. But she couldn’t do anything because Shi Yi was holding her left hand.

Shi Yi quickly noticed Yu Zhiyi’s unconscious behaviour; he looked at her and asked, “Yiyi, what is wrong?” 

“Mm… It seems like I got bitten by a mosquito, and it’s a little bit itchy,” Yu Zhiyi muttered with a red face.

“Where?”

As soon as Yu Zhiyi pointed at her left hand, Shi Yi quickly let go of her hand, pulled a blue bracelet out of his pocket, and put it on her wrist. “Put this on. It’s a bracelet that keeps mosquitoes away,” he said.

“Brother, why do you have this with you?”

“Ready for you.”

He had something prepared for her, but he forgot about it after leaving the KTV.

From the moment he got the love card, he was not normal. With a fast-beat heart, he couldn’t control his emotions, even if he didn’t show them outside.

The only thing on his mind on the way here was thinking about him and her being together.

Yu Zhiyi touched the bracelet, feeling sweet inside her heart. “Is there only one? What about you?” she asked.

“I don’t need this,” Shi Yi replied. ‘Men should not be embarrassed by such trivial matters.’

Giving her a mosquito-repellent bracelet showed how much he cared about her. Yu Zhiyi felt really confident in her thoughts. She reached out and held the boy’s hand. “I will hold my brother’s hand and stand by you. Then you will not be bitten by mosquitoes,” she said softly.

 At that time, there were fewer people around them. Even though there were lights on the street, it still felt a little empty and cold.

Seeing the equipment in the park, Yu Zhiyi wanted to play with the mat slide.

When she was a child, she enjoyed playing, but as she went to high school, she didn’t find many fun things to do. 

Seeing Yu Zhiyi’s longing look, Shi Yi quickly understood what she was thinking. “If you want to play, go over there,” he said with an encouraging smile.

“I‘m an adult now. It’s embarrassing to play kids’ games again,” Yu Zhiyi replied shyly.

“You are still young.” Shi Yi smiled at her. “You are not an adult yet.”

Maybe because he sounded too affectionate, Yu Zhiyi felt happy.

“But… what if I slip and fall, and I could land on my bottom?”

Hearing that, Shi Yi stood at the bottom of the slide and told her, “Don’t be scared. I’m here to catch you.”

Yu Zhiyi climbed up to the top of the slide, sat down slowly, and slid down.

Just as she was going to grab the handrail and land on her feet, Shi Yi caught her at the bottom of the steep slope and held her safely.

She remembered that when they were children, Shi Yi protected her when they played. ‘Maybe I liked to play because I knew that Shi Yi was always waiting and protecting me.’ All the time, she trusted Shi Yi completely.

Shi Yi decided to go back because there were still mosquitoes in the park.

When they reached the side of the road, Shi Yi told her, “Let your roommate know that you won’t be coming back tonight.”

She thought they were just going back to school later. “Why are we not going to school?”

Shi Yi didn’t explain, but he asked in a meaningful way, “Who else will celebrate my birthday with me if you go back?”

Yu Zhiyi couldn’t refuse Shi Yi’s request. She lifted her hands with joy and said, “I will have a party with my brother on his birthday.”

The 18th birthday was very important. At first, Yu Zhiyi was still trying to figure out how she could wait until midnight with Shi Yi to celebrate his birthday, and now it was solved.

This wasn’t the first time they’d lived in the same room, and it was not awkward at all.

As soon as they got into the room, Yu Zhiyi saw a new message in the group chat: a group of three people, including Yu Zhiyi, Jiang Mier, and Yan Xi.

Jiang Mier had already shared in the group her meeting with Shi Yi at the KTV, and everyone knew that Yu Zhiyi went to see Shi Yi.

Jiang Mier and Yan Xi knew what Yu Zhiyi was going to do, so they were also very worried about her.

Yan Xi: [Have you told the person you like about your feelings?”

Jiang Mier: [If she is still too scared to admit it, let’s just show the novel to Shi Yi.]

Yu Zhiyi typed quickly. [Don’t mess around.]

Confessing her feelings face-to-face and Shi Yi knowing them from a novel were completely different things. And when Yu Zhiyi started to write the novel first, she just wanted to keep her thoughts to herself. If Shi Yi saw the novel, Yu Zhiyi would die in embarrassment. 

While Yu Zhiyi was chatting with others, Shi Yi suddenly approached her and asked, “Yiyi, are you hungry?”

Yu Zhiyi touched her belly and replied, “It seems a little bit.”

Shi Yi took out his mobile phone and opened the app. “What do you want to eat? I’ll order takeout.”

Yu Zhiyi stood next to Shi Yi and leaned over to look at Shi Yi’s phone. Seeing the various shops on the screen, she subconsciously asked, “Can I still buy cakes now?”

Shi Yi stopped looking at his phone, turned around, and asked, “Do you still want some cake?”

 “Don’t my brother also need a cake for his eighteenth birthday?”

Shi Yi: “I’ve already eaten it just now. If I eat it again, I’ll get tired of it.”

“But the cake has a different meaning!” Yu Zhiyi replied. Even though they couldn’t eat cakes a lot, lighting candles and making wishes were very important to her. She always believed that.

 Shi Yi suddenly looked down, reached out and touched Yu Zhiyi’s face, and said, “I have something I like more.”

The little girl probably didn’t hear the profound meaning of this sentence, so she seriously started ordering dinner. “Is pizza okay?”

“Okay. As long as you like it,” he replied with a helpless smile.

Yu Zhiyi chose a pizza, then checked a milk tea shop app and ordered a cup of Yangzhi Manna. Then she asked, “What would you like to drink, brother?”

[Tl: Yangzhi Manna is a well-known Hong Kong dessert consisting of sago, coconut milk, mango, and grapefruit.]

Shi Yi took his phone back, swiped the screen up and down, and clicked the “+” sign when he saw the name of the milk tea.

Yu Zhiyi glanced at it and saw that the milk tea Shi Yi ordered seemed to be called “Strawberry Boba Milk Tea.” 

‘Wow! a very sweet name.’ And then she remembered that Shi Yi rarely drank this kind of food.

Have a nice day!
