Chapter 478 My grandfather was the first principal.
Old Yu stood in the courtyard, leisurely puffing on his cigarette.
Seeing Yu Huan's ready-to-go stance, he cleared his throat and said with concern, "If you're planning to go out riding motorcycles, make sure you wear your helmets. Safety first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Teacher Wu, who was standing next to him, quickly turned to the side, raised her hand and pushed his arm, saying, "What's the use of just talking here? Why don't you hurry up and help them get their helmets?"
Old Yu paused for a moment, put the cigarette in his mouth, handed the still-steaming teacup to Teacher Wu, and then hurriedly walked towards the storage room.
He muttered to himself, "You Rong does have a helmet, and we brought it with us. Let's go find it."
In the brief moment, Yu Huan skillfully lowered the footrest, calmly reversed the bike, and precisely aligned the front of the bike with the gate of the yard.
A continuous, low rumble echoed in the courtyard.
At this moment, the motorcycles seemed like warhorses about to gallop into battle, exuding a powerful aura.
Teacher Wu looked at Yu Huan with concern, raised her voice, and shouted, "Huanhuan, you haven't ridden a motorcycle for a year or two. When you ride, you must be careful and not be reckless. You must not be in a hurry on the road."
Yu Huan nodded vigorously and replied loudly, "Mom, you can rest assured! I know what I'm doing, I'll definitely handle everything smoothly."
After saying that, he patted his chest with great pride, looking very confident.
Lin Youren couldn't help but look at Yu Huan making a promise, feeling that he couldn't wait to ride his motorcycle out for a stroll. He then turned around and placed the teacup on the kitchen table.
When she came out of the house again, she saw Lao Yu carrying a helmet in each hand and walking hurriedly to the motorcycle.
Yu Huan reached out and took the old helmet that Lao Yu usually wore when riding his electric bike. He turned to look at the old man, who was examining the scooter with a curious expression, and said in a humorous tone, "Old man, why don't you take a nap? We'll go out for a stroll and then get you some more wine."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Yu's smile grew even brighter.
He raised his hand and waved it, feigning a scolding, saying, "You silly child, if you're going out to play, just have fun. Don't keep thinking about getting me drinks. Safety is the most important thing; you must always put safety first!"
Teacher Wu nodded with a smile and then said, "That's a good idea. Your uncle just sent some herbs for making medicinal wine, so bring back more wine."
Upon hearing this, a sly glint flashed across Yu Huan's face, and without hesitation, she said, "It was probably a gift from my uncle's students—"
Before he could finish speaking, he received a light but firm slap on the head from Lao Yu.
He instinctively shrank back, muttering sullenly, "Just something I said offhand, just something I said offhand..."
At the same time, Ms. Wu took off the scarf from her neck, turned around, and wrapped the scarf around Lin Yourong's neck.
She said with concern, "Yourong, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year. Although the sun is shining brightly outside, the wind is still chilly. Please don't catch a cold. When you go out for a ride on your motorcycle, the wind will easily let the cold air seep into your body. Wear this scarf to block the wind."
Lin Yourong smiled, her eyes crinkling, and nodded obediently, her voice clear and melodious: "Okay~ Thank you, Mom~"
"Why are you being so polite with me?" Teacher Wu's movements were gentle and meticulous. She wrapped the scarf around Lin Yourong's neck several times and made sure that both ends of the scarf were neat and tidy.
Yu Huan quickly put on his helmet, carefully checked the motorcycle, and after confirming that everything was normal, gently twisted the throttle.
The motorcycle emitted a deep roar as it drove up a small, gentle slope and into the main room.
In an instant, the roaring sound collided and reverberated in the cramped hall.
The powerful sound waves caused the air to vibrate violently, as if the entire space was trembling.
A bamboo broom that was originally leaning against the wall fell straight to the ground with a "clang" due to the resonance.
Yu Huan rode the motorcycle to the back of the gate and quickly switched to neutral.
The roar of the engine subsided considerably in a short while, but the buzzing sound still echoed in the main room.
Old Yu followed closely behind with light steps, bent down slightly, lifted his foot and gently rubbed the motorcycle's exhaust pipe, exclaiming in admiration, "This motorcycle is really powerful! It feels like the whole house is going to be shaken apart!"
Grandpa Yu strolled over slowly, his hands behind his back.
He cleared his throat and said slowly, "This motorcycle isn't cheap, it costs tens of thousands of yuan. You get what you pay for. Its engine displacement is much larger than your old one, so it's definitely powerful!"
During their conversation...
Yu Huan turned her head and looked at Lin Yourong, who had already put on her helmet. She raised her chin and whistled playfully.
He raised one hand in a gesture of invitation, and with the other hand he gently patted the back seat of the motorcycle, saying in an exaggerated announcer's voice, "Beautiful lady, please get on!"
Amidst a burst of laughter, Old Yu stepped forward and reached out to help open the door.
The bright and dazzling sunlight poured in like a tide, illuminating the entire hall.
Lin Youren couldn't help but gently lift the corner of his clothes, and gracefully and nimbly straddled the back of the motorcycle.
Immediately afterwards, her hands naturally wrapped around Yu Huan's waist, and she leaned forward slightly, resting against his back.
Yu Huan twisted the throttle again, and the roar of the motorcycle engine instantly rose.
Teacher Wu stood to the side, her eyes full of concern, and couldn't help but call out loudly, "Huanhuan, be careful on the road, drive slowly!"
Grandpa Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying in a hearty voice, "Go ahead, go ahead. It's Yourong's first time here, so we should take her out to explore and see more of the place. Just make sure she's safe."
"I understand."
Yu Huan turned around and nodded to his family, then slowly drove his motorcycle out of the main room.
The car made a graceful turn in front of the parking lot, pointing towards the town.
Yu Huan glanced ahead; the road was empty and unobstructed. An irrepressible surge of excitement welled up inside him, and he unconsciously stepped on the gas pedal slightly.
The motorcycle, like a wild horse breaking free of its reins, sped along the flat asphalt road in the countryside, creating a whooshing sound in its wake.
The sudden acceleration made Lin Yourong instinctively hug Yu Huan's waist tightly, her heart pounding with the increased speed. She leaned close to Yu Huan's ear, her voice a mix of tension and reproach, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Slow down!"
Upon hearing Lin Yourong's call, Yu Huan glanced at the odometer and couldn't help but smile confidently.
Then, he shouted back through the howling wind, "It's only a little over 60 yards! Honey, don't be nervous. At this speed, it's a piece of cake for me. It'll be a breeze. There won't be any problems!"
Even so, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Lin Yourong's arms tightly wrapped around him, and the knuckles of her hands peeking out from her sleeves were turning white from the force.
So, without hesitation, he slowly released the accelerator.
The motorcycle's speed gradually and steadily decreased, eventually stabilizing at around 40 mph.
As the car slowed down, the wind that had been howling became much gentler and was no longer as fierce as before.
Lin Yourong's body, which had been as tense as a harp string, gradually relaxed.
She gently patted Yu Huan's back, her tone still carrying a hint of reproach, and said loudly, "You said it was easy! Sixty miles a minute is not slow. The road conditions in the countryside are so complicated. If there is an emergency, there will be no time to react. You have to put safety first and not just think about the thrill for a moment."
Yu Huan smiled and nodded vigorously, replying loudly, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Let's take a leisurely stroll and first I'll take you to visit the school in town."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Huan felt his phone vibrate slightly but continuously in his pocket, indicating that a call had come in.
Although he was curious about who had called, he didn't stop to check immediately. Instead, he chose to continue his leisurely stroll, enjoying the time he spent with Lin Yourong.
It has to be said, this Honda Forza motorcycle is really cool.
Its unique shape and sound attracted the attention of many people along the way.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yu Huan noticed many familiar faces and unconsciously straightened her back.
In just over ten minutes, they strolled leisurely to the school gate.
Even though her phone had stopped vibrating, Yu Huan was still vaguely worried that it was something important at work.
As soon as he parked the car, he quickly took out his phone from his pocket, only to see three missed calls from Yu Songnian on the screen.
Yu Huan held her phone in one hand and turned the car key with the other. The roar of the motorcycle engine stopped abruptly, and the surroundings became quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze.
Lin Yourong released her hands from around Yu Huan's waist, turned around, and looked through the transparent lens of her helmet at the phone screen in Yu Huan's hand.
She spoke softly, "Song Nian has called several times. Could something urgent have happened?"
"I don't know, I'll call back and ask." Yu Huan said casually, her fingers nimbly tapping the phone screen as she skillfully dialed Yu Songnian's number.
After a few rings on the other end of the phone, Yu Songnian's slurred voice came through: "Brother Huan, where are you and Sister Yourong?"
Upon hearing the indistinct voice, Yu Huan immediately understood that Yu Songnian must have drunk a lot of alcohol at his father-in-law's house.
He shook his head helplessly, but a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips as he teased, "Songnian, how much did you drink? Look at your tongue, it's almost unreadable."
"I didn't drink much. Where are you guys?"
“Your sister-in-law and I are at the school gate in town right now. We’re riding our motorcycles out for a spin and showing her around.”
Yu Songnian chuckled a few times on the other end of the phone, his voice still muffled: "Brother Huan, I... I'm telling you, I've only drunk about a pound of baijiu, which is pure grain liquor with a high alcohol content. I do feel a little dizzy now, but I'm perfectly fine! I'm going to ride my motorcycle to come and hang out with you guys."
Yu Huan frowned slightly and said, "Song Nian, you've already drunk a pound of baijiu and are in this state. You still want to go out and have fun? You can't run around like this in your current condition. It's too dangerous! Stay at your father-in-law's house and wait until you sober up before we talk about it."
However, Yu Songnian shouted loudly on the other end of the phone, "Brother Huan, I'm fine! Really! It's rare for you and your wife to come back, so as your younger brother, I definitely have to stay with you! Tell me where you are, and I'll come find you right away!"
Upon hearing Yu Songnian's words, Yu Huan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He thought to himself, "I just told my little brother that I was at the school gate in town. The kid was really drunk and confused. He forgot all about it in the blink of an eye."
He was about to give his advice to the younger man when a noisy commotion suddenly came from the other end of the phone.
It sounds like someone is trying to steal Yu Songnian's phone.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Songnian's loud shouts, filled with dissatisfaction and defiance, came through: "Don't take my phone! I want to find Huan Ge and the others to play with!"
Then came Xu Qian's muffled, reproachful voice: "Look at you, you can barely stand, and you still want to ride a motorcycle! Don't cause trouble for Huan Ge and the others!"
The noise suddenly stopped, and Yu Songnian said casually, "Brother Huan, just say something. Should I come and find you and Sister Yourong?"
At this moment, Yu Huan was genuinely afraid that if he got drunk, he wouldn't be able to control his mouth and would start spouting nonsense, revealing Lin Yourong's identity and causing a lot of trouble.
He tried to make his tone sound relaxed and sincere as he spoke into the phone: “Songnian, given the situation today, you really can’t come. Think about it, you’re drunk right now, riding a motorcycle is so dangerous. If something happens on the road, you and Sister Rong will feel terrible. We’ll have plenty of time for another get-together when you’re sober, and we can do whatever we want then.”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment.
Just as Yu Huan thought he was about to have to say something again, Yu Songnian's voice rang out again, this time with a more obedient tone: "Brother Huan... what you're saying does seem to make some sense. I was feeling perfectly clear-headed just now, but now that you're saying this, my head is starting to feel a little dizzy. Well... okay then, I'll listen to you and go to sleep."
Yu Huan said with relief, "That's right, Song Nian, get some sleep."
"Okay, Huan-ge..."
When Yu Huan heard no response from the receiver, she immediately hung up the phone.
As he stuffed his phone back into his pocket, he chuckled and said, "I managed to dissuade him. Otherwise, if that kid had really ridden his motorcycle out, who knows what kind of trouble he would have caused."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong turned her gaze away from the closed school gate, gently nudged his shoulder, and asked curiously, "Are your parents teachers here?"
Yu Huan turned to look at the mottled iron gate, smiled and nodded: "That's right, the first principal was my grandfather."
