Chapter 458 You Are the Only One Who Talks
The hands of the clock in the living room slowly moved toward ten o'clock.
Yu Huan and Lin Yourong sat side by side at the dining table, enjoying their slightly late breakfast.
"I'll go make the sheet music later and print it out so you can look at it whenever you have time," Yu Huan said, bringing the straw to her lips and taking a big gulp of milk. Her Adam's apple bobbed slightly as she swallowed slowly.
Lin Yourong picked up an egg and gently tapped it on the rim of the bowl, nodded, and replied, "Yes! My dear is so thoughtful!"
Yu Huan smiled warmly, then quickly devoured half a corn cob and two eggs as swiftly as a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
"Honey, take your time eating." He casually wiped his mouth with a napkin, then stood up and hurried towards the bedroom balcony.
Time is tight and the task is urgent.
He was highly efficient and completed the important task in less than half an hour.
Immediately afterwards, he and his wife busied themselves packing their luggage.
Lin Yourong crouched down slightly and pulled the two small suitcases out from under the bed one after the other. The suitcases slid across the floor, making a slight scraping sound.
Then, she turned to the closet and carefully selected the clothes they needed to bring.
He kept muttering to himself:
"It's quite cold around Wuling Liuye Lake, so you'll need to bring a down jacket..."
"Honey, do you need to bring a scarf?"
Yu Huan stood behind her and replied, "I'll listen to you. Bring whatever you think is necessary."
Lin Yourong's lips curled up, revealing a gentle smile.
She held the selected clothes in her arms, placed them by the bedside, and then began to fold them one by one, handing them to Yu Huan.
Yu Huan took the rather bulky down jacket and laid it flat in the suitcase, pressing it down firmly with her hands to ensure that more items could fit inside.
With the couple's tacit cooperation, the luggage was quickly packed.
At this moment, it was almost eleven o'clock.
Lin Yourong received a call from Sister Ru urging her to hurry up. After quickly checking the water and electricity to ensure the safety of the house, she and Yu Huan went out together.
Yu Huan carried a backpack, a slightly heavy suitcase in one hand, and a bulging plastic bag filled with various snacks and fruits in the other, ready to enjoy them on the road.
Lin Yourong was also carrying a lot of things, and followed closely behind Yu Huan downstairs.
The sound of their footsteps mingled together, echoing continuously in the corridor.
"We've only been away for two or three days, but it feels like we're moving house," Yu Huan sighed as she turned around.
I recalled picking her up in Shanghai before.
Lin Yourong had only been in Shanghai for half a year, yet she had already amassed five or six hundred pounds of luggage.
He was so exhausted from carrying the load that he was out of breath.
"There's nothing we can do about it. When you're traveling, you have to think things through!"
Although Lin Yourong was wearing a mask at the moment, her smile could still be clearly seen in her curved eyebrows and eyes.
"That's right." Yu Huan looked back at the road beneath her feet, neither confirming nor denying.
Stepping out of the shady stairwell, you see the warm winter sun shining on the asphalt road in the community, as if the road surface is coated with a layer of light gold.
The wheels of the two suitcases rolled nimbly, making a rhythmic sound, until they came to a stop in front of the garage door.
Lin Yourong took a deep breath, and the fresh air slowly seeped into her lungs through her nasal cavity, making her feel refreshed.
"The weather is so nice today." She turned around, her gaze wandering leisurely around the neighborhood, looking at the familiar plants and trees, her heart filled with joy.
Yu Huan casually replied in a humorous tone, "That's called being blessed by the heavens!"
At this moment, the couple's mood was just like the clear, sunny weather—bright and radiant.
Yu Huan deftly hooked the half-closed roller shutter door with her toes, released the suitcase handle, and pushed the roller shutter door up.
The couple then went to the back of the BMW.
Yu Huan opened the trunk and moved the cigarettes and alcohol inside slightly to make room for more.
After much effort, they could only fit one suitcase inside.
Upon seeing this, Lin Yourong turned around and laboriously stuffed her suitcase into the back seat.
After the couple settled all their luggage, they stood at the back of the car and began to think things over.
"Wife, given your relationship with Sister Ru, shouldn't I be giving her a pair of cigarettes and alcohol?" Yu Huan stroked her chin with her fingers. "Is it better to be harmonious or to be at peace with the world?"
He had this question because the price difference between the two types of cigarettes was almost double.
Lin Yourong pulled a red gift bag from the trunk, opened it, and said, "My mom said that the four 'Tianxia' gifts are for my uncle and aunt."
After hearing this, Yu Huan nodded knowingly, and deftly took two boxes of Moutai from the trunk and stuffed them into a gift bag. Then he took out two 'Harmony Brings Wealth' cigarettes and placed them on top.
He looked at the bulging gift bag in Lin Yourong's hand and continued, "Give Weiwei a red envelope with about a thousand yuan for New Year's money, and that will be about right."
"Wow—I didn't expect you to still care about your godson!" Lin Yourong said jokingly, picking up the gift bag and turning to walk towards the passenger door.
Yu Huan gently closed the trunk and replied with a smile, "Of course! Our little darling is so adorable, I, as her godfather, can't mistreat her!"
Lin Yourong smiled gently.
Yu Huan knew Ru Jie's exact address perfectly and didn't need to set up navigation at all.
In the past, when he returned to his hometown, he would pass by the row of villas along the Liuyang River.
A cluster of European-style buildings stands out prominently in the surrounding environment. Built in 2000, it is considered one of the first villa districts in Changsha.
The two got into the BMW, and the car slowly drove away from the residential area and merged into the main road.
The BMW sped smoothly forward, the sunlight streaming unobstructed onto the windshield, making the interior warm and cozy even without the air conditioning on, which put everyone in a particularly pleasant mood.
It was as if all the previous busyness and fatigue had been dispelled without a trace by the warm sunshine.
Lin Yourong lay comfortably on the passenger seat, her long, glossy black hair naturally cascading over the headrest, holding the sheet music for "Night in Ulaanbaatar" in her hand.
As the little BMW moved forward with a slight jolt, Lin Yourong couldn't help but part her lips and hum a soft, melodious tune:
Wind that sweeps across the wilderness, slow your pace...
"The night in Ulaanbaatar is so quiet, so very quiet..."
"Clouds drifting towards the horizon, slow down! I'll tell you with my running that I won't look back!"
"Beep beep!" Yu Huan gently pressed the horn, a humorous smile on his face, and shouted "Good!" Then he praised, "As expected of my wife, she really has the right style!"
Upon hearing Yu Huan's exaggerated praise, Lin Yourong immediately sat up slightly and gently patted Yu Huan's arm.
She said reproachfully, "You're always joking with me! I know my own limitations. You've changed this song quite a bit. It's completely different from the ones I listened to this morning. I'm only just starting to figure it out!"
Yu Huan kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead. Hearing this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a bright smile: "I'm not lying. Do you think I don't know your singing ability? You sing so well!" Lin Yourong secretly glanced at Yu Huan and saw that he looked serious and there was no hint of teasing in his expression. She felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
"Honey, you have a naturally outstanding voice, and with such a beautiful melody, even just humming a few lines sounds amazing. I can't wait to hear you sing it properly!"
"A man's words are deceitful!" Lin Yourong said, but her eyes were full of laughter.
She leaned back in her chair, continuing to focus intently on the sheet music, and suddenly exclaimed, "Darling, your arrangement of this version has such rich layers!"
“That’s right,” Yu Huan replied with a smile.
He put a lot of thought into this adaptation. Referring to Tan Weiwei's cover version in the third season of "I Am a Singer", he cut off the opening paragraph written by Tan Weiwei herself, shortening the original five minutes to four minutes.
In terms of lyrics, it is closer to the version by Danzheng and her son.
As for the arrangement, he decided to stick with Tan Weiwei's version because the arrangement of that version, especially the rock part, was energetic enough to blow up the crowd.
Yu Huan turned her head slightly and quickly glanced at Lin Yourong, who was half-reclining in the passenger seat and studying the sheet music intently.
At this moment, the faint roar of the engine entered his ears, and a warm atmosphere filled the car. He felt warm all over and was filled with comfort.
The little BMW sped along the wide road.
Not long after, Yu Huan steadily turned the steering wheel, urging the BMW to turn right and arrive at the Liuyang River.
The river surface shimmered, and sunlight refracted countless tiny rays of light onto the water.
A cruise ship drifted leisurely on the water.
Although the weeping willows by the river have lost their emerald green leaves, their slender branches sway gently in the breeze, creating a unique and beautiful scene.
"Honey, we're almost there," Yu Huan said, slowing down the car.
"Just park the car at the entrance of the community, and we'll walk in." Lin Yourong raised the seat, carefully placed the sheet music on the center console, and then took out a sunglasses case from her shoulder bag.
In the blink of an eye, the little BMW arrived at the entrance of the residential area.
Yu Huan quickly scanned the street, spotted a suitable roadside parking space, and gently turned the steering wheel to park the little BMW.
Then, he reached out and picked up the mask from the armrest box, put it on neatly, and covered most of his face.
At the same time, Lin Yourong also lifted the gift bag from the foot pedal and opened the car door.
The two exchanged a glance and then got out of the car together.
The greenery in the villa community has clearly been carefully maintained. Although it is winter, it is full of evergreen plants, standing tall and lush.
Along the way, a few small birds occasionally chirped on the branches.
Yu Huan followed closely behind his wife, his gaze wandering over the scenery of the neighborhood, and said with a smile, "Sister Ru and her family live quite comfortably here."
Say it.
He reached out and took the gift bag that Lin Yourong was carrying.
She reached up and put her hand on the chain of her shoulder bag, saying, "You'll see when you come in the summer. The mosquitoes here are really fierce; one bite and you get a big welt."
"Oh? It seems you've already fallen victim to their tricks here?" Yu Huan raised an eyebrow slightly and asked with interest.
“When I came here in the summer, I was having tea and chatting with Sister Ru in the backyard of her house. Who knew that the mosquitoes would be so rampant in broad daylight, and they covered my hands and legs with bites. It was so itchy and uncomfortable, and it took several days to get better.” Lin Yourong’s tone was slightly speechless. “On the other hand, Sister Ru was only bitten a few times, and those bites disappeared very quickly. It’s really strange.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan couldn't help but laugh out loud and teased, "It seems my wife is indeed a hot commodity; even the mosquitoes of the Liuyang River are particularly fond of you."
Hearing this, Lin Yourong snorted softly, turned to the side and tugged at his arm, pretending to be annoyed, "You're such a smooth talker."
Yu Huan laughed heartily.
The two chatted and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at the middle house of a row of townhouses.
Before she even reached the front door, Yu Huan glanced up and spotted a small figure perched on the windowpane.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Wang Weiwei.
The little one was dressed very festively today, in a bright red cotton-padded jacket that made her little face even rosier, like a ripe apple. Her hair was styled in a cute little Nezha bun, with red ribbons tied to the braids, swaying gently with her movements, making her incredibly adorable.
Wang Weiwei, with her sharp eyes, immediately noticed the arrival of Yu Huan and Lin Yourong.
A bright smile instantly bloomed on her little face. She waved her little hands excitedly, shouting something, and her little body bounced around with excitement.
Yu Huan couldn't help but chuckle and waved back at her.
As the two approached, they could hear the little guy repeatedly calling out, "Godfather and Godmother, you're finally here!" His innocent voice was full of joy.
The next moment, the door was pushed open.
Sister Ru greeted them with a beaming smile, opened her arms and gave Lin Yourong a big hug, exclaiming, "We've been waiting for you all!"
Then, Sister Ru turned to Yu Huan and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Leader, it's an honor to have you grace my humble abode with your presence! I'm so sorry for not welcoming you sooner!"
Yu Huan pulled down her mask, smiled, and handed the gift bag in her hand to Sister Ru, saying, "Sister Ru, this is just a small token of my appreciation."
Upon seeing this, Sister Ru immediately raised her Buddha-like palm: "No way! You're here, why bring anything? That's too formal!"
Yu Huan smiled brightly and said half-jokingly, "Don't misunderstand, it's not for you. It's specially prepared for your dad."
Sister Ru immediately stepped forward, reached out and rummaged through the bag to peek inside.
She smiled, but then feigned reproach, saying, "I told you, my old man is trying to quit smoking and drinking these days, and you still brought cigarettes and alcohol over!"
As the adults were exchanging pleasantries, Wang Weiwei suddenly shot out from behind Sister Ru like a small cannonball.
She quickly reached out and hugged Yu Huan's leg tightly with one hand, while holding onto Lin Yourong's clothes firmly with the other. She tilted her little head up, her big, watery eyes full of expectation, and asked expectantly, "Godfather and Godmother! You brought gifts for my grandfather, didn't you bring any for me?"
Yu Huan was amused by Wang Weiwei's quirky and clever appearance and burst into laughter.
He didn't immediately take out a red envelope. Instead, he squatted down, gently pinched Wang Weiwei's cheek, and said with a smile, "The sun is out today, the weather is so nice. How about Dad takes you to fly a kite this afternoon?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Weiwei's eyes widened instantly, like two shiny black grapes.
"Okay!" She let go of her hands and eagerly gestured in the air, "Godfather! I want to fly that super big kite I saw at Orange Isle last time. It flew so high, it almost touched the clouds! Godfather, can we buy one like that too? I want my kite to race with the birds in the sky and see who can fly higher!"
The little guy got more and more excited as he talked, jumping around on the spot.
Sister Ru chuckled as she listened from the side. She raised her hand and gave Wang Weiwei a light flick on the forehead, pretending to be angry, and said, "All you ever think about is gifts! Quickly call your grandparents to the living room and tell them to stop busying themselves in the kitchen. Just say that your godparents have arrived."
"Okay!" Wang Weiwei replied crisply, then turned and nimbly stepped over the threshold.
Before they had even fully entered the house, they were already shouting at the top of their lungs, "Grandpa, Grandpa! Godfather and Godmother are here! Come out quickly! Grandma!"
The childish yet clear voice echoed in the tranquil atmosphere.
Sister Ru explained with a warm smile, "Our nanny went back to her hometown for the Chinese New Year, so my parents are cooking for us today. Please forgive us if the food isn't to your liking."
talking.
She stepped aside and gestured for Yu Huan and Lin Yourong to come inside.
