Chapter 48: New Year’s Day Gift

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Shen Yichen looked at Chen Yuanyuan, who kept shaking his head, with concern.

"Uh...it's okay. Eat more. Do you want something to drink?" Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted. Chen Yuanyuan got up in fright and bumped into the corner of the table. She hurriedly ran to the kitchen to prepare a drink, ignoring the pain.

"Anything is fine." Shen Yichen looked at Chen Yuanyuan who was running away, and felt that she was also very cute even though she was naive.

Chen Yuanyuan pretended not to see Shen Yichen's burning eyes, reached into the refrigerator and pretended to take something, and took out a cup of warm rock sugar and snow pear water from the space.

I don’t know how long Shen Yichen had been waiting outside the door just now. It’s better to drink something warm in winter.

"Huh?" Shen Yichen took a sip of Sydney water and looked thoughtfully at the takeaway cup in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yuanyuan asked suspiciously. She remembered that Shen's mother used to make various drinks, and Shen Yichen probably liked to drink them too.

"It's nothing, this drink is quite special." Shen Yichen looked at Chen Yuanyuan and didn't notice it, so he didn't go into details.

3! 2! 1! boom!

The sounds of people counting down rang out in the streets, and as the salute sounded, 2023 officially entered.

"Yuanyuan, Happy New Year!" Shen Yichen looked at Chen Yuanyuan and said.

"Happy New Year!" Chen Yuanyuan responded with a smile as bright as a flower.

"This is a New Year's gift for you. It's not convenient to put it in a box during flight security. I'll put it on my hand first. Don't mind." Shen Yichen took off the platinum bracelet on his hand and handed it to Chen Yuanyuan.

"Ah, there's no need to be so polite. I didn't even prepare anything for you." Chen Yuanyuan declined.

"This is suitable for you." After saying that, Shen Yichen pulled hard and split his hand in two.

A sharp hook buckle is exposed on one side of the interface, and a slender alloy steel wire connects the two sides of the interface.

"This is an anesthetic. It can stun an elephant for a day." Shen Yichen unscrewed the concave side of the buckle, showed Chen Yuanyuan the powder inside, assembled it back and handed it to Chen Yuanyuan.

When Chen Yuanyuan saw the delicate design of the bracelet, she no longer refused and took the bracelet, using Shen Yichen's technique to pull the bracelet apart.

"There is a secret key here." Shen Yichen gently pulled Chen Yuanyuan's hand to the location of the secret key.

Chen Yuanyuan eagerly opened the touch and stretched the flexible alloy steel wire inside, which was almost as long as one of Chen Yuanyuan's arms. The steel wire was thin and sharp, and it quickly rebounded into the touch after being relaxed.

"This touch is so exquisite! Thank you!" Chen Yuanyuan did not refuse anymore. Shen Yichen put the bracelet on Chen Yuanyuan's left hand, just enough to block the dark red tattoo of the space bracelet.

"You live alone in Xiangcheng. It's safer to have some self-defense weapons when I'm not with you." Chen Yuanyuan was about to ask why he gave her such a touch, but Shen Yichen told her the reason.

"Then I'm not welcome!" Chen Yuanyuan gently touched the platinum bracelet on her wrist, liking this gift from the bottom of her heart.

The two of them chatted while eating midnight snacks. After eating, Shen Yichen cleared the table.

Seeing that it was already midnight, Chen Yuanyuan asked Shen Yichen to stay in the apartment.

Chen Yuanyuan went to the room to get Shen Yichen's bedclothes. In the room, she took out a set of men's clothes she bought at the New City Mall last time.

"The one Linlin asked me to buy for her fiancé during the last sale hasn't been taken away yet. You can make do with it first." Chen Yuanyuan gave Shen Yichen the casual clothes to change into.

After Shen Yichen took it, he went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After Shen Yichen came out of the shower, he saw Chen Yuanyuan making an air mattress in the living room.

"Sorry, the place is too small, so I have to let you sleep in the living room. It will be fixed soon." Chen Yuanyuan's apartment only has one bedroom and one living room, so Shen Yichen had to sleep in the living room.

"No need to go to such trouble, I can just sleep on the sofa." Seeing that Chen Yuanyuan hadn't inflated the mattress yet, she went to stop it.

"It's okay, I'm just researching how to use it." Chen Yuanyuan hasn't used the outdoor air mattress she bought at the sports goods show last time. It just needs to be inflated and placed in the space for later use, which will save trouble.

"I'll do it. You go and freshen up first." Shen Yichen took the charging pump and skillfully inflated the mattress.
