Chapter 285 Elementary School Student Behavior!
Wang Xianjiao's initial shock quickly turned into delight.
This series of reactions brought a faint smile to Yu Huan's face.
The song "Time Thief" has consistently ranked high on NetEase Cloud Music's hot song charts for years. Since its release, it has remained popular, attracting numerous well-known singers to cover it.
As a high-quality lyrical ballad, "Time Thief" has a far wider audience than "It's You".
Yu Huan could clearly foresee that this song would surely spread throughout the streets and alleys.
However, Lin Yourong had just terminated her contract with Canwen Media and was setting up her studio, which was still in its infancy. The online platform was hastily launched to create a romantic atmosphere for him, without any prior publicity.
Suddenly, a piano melody started playing from Wang Xianjiao's phone speaker.
Hearing the familiar melody, Yu Huan naturally knew she was listening to "Time Thief".
He stepped towards the entrance of the Lianhe Zaobao building and said with a smile, "This song is pretty good. I think it will definitely be a hit, and it might even become a Golden Melody!"
"Let me hear it!"
Wang Xianjiao held her phone to her ear and hurriedly followed Yu Huan's retreating figure.
After the piano prelude, Wang Xianjiao's eyes lit up the moment Lin Yourong's soothing voice appeared.
Her face was filled with excitement.
The surprise and delight of seeing one's idol's new work quietly released without a word, and of such high quality, is simply overwhelming.
Her heartfelt and clear enunciation allowed her to understand the lyrics without having to look at them.
Wang Xianjiao was deeply immersed in the song, her eyes glazed over, following closely behind Yu Huan.
A gentle breeze swept by, carrying a hint of chill.
The surrounding noise and the howling wind seemed to vanish completely at that moment, leaving only the deeply moving song echoing in her mind:
Time is something that catches you off guard. Sometimes it's sunny, sometimes it's windy, sometimes it's cloudy, sometimes it's rainy. You can't fight against the passing of time, yet you still yearn for the past...
In front of the Lianhe Zaobao building, groups of two or three people hurriedly walked in.
Some of them were wearing thick down jackets, while others were wrapped in long scarves, and they were walking in a hurry.
People greeted Yu Huan warmly from time to time, and Yu Huan responded with a warm smile as she walked straight toward the elevator.
As a well-known figure in Jiangnan, his reputation is now no less than that of President Xu.
Countless reporters and programs wanted to interview him, but all their efforts were in vain; they were all politely declined.
He turned his head and looked at the little tail behind him that seemed to be sleepwalking. He saw her listening to music and swaying her head to the rhythm.
She seemed lost in thought when she suddenly noticed Yu Huan's gaze and, in front of everyone, loudly proclaimed:
"Brother Yu, this is so good! The moment the melody started, I felt my heart clench. Lin Su's voice paired with the lyrics and music is simply amazing! With this quality alone, even without any promotion, it can spread by word of mouth and become a hit!"
Suddenly.
A third voice sounded beside them: "What song, Lin Su?"
Yu Huan was speechless at Wang Xianjiao's erratic behavior.
This girl might get too obsessed and become a die-hard fan of his wife, right?
Hearing this, they turned their heads and saw Li Xiaoyu holding a cup of black rice porridge, with wired earphones on her ears, staring at them with a curious expression.
He recalled recommending Lin Yourong's songs to Li Xiaoyu before, and said with a gentle smile, "Sister Li, Lin Su's new song is out, it's called 'Time Thief,' you can listen to it when you have time."
Li Xiaoyu released the straw, took out her phone from her coat pocket, smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll listen."
In contrast, Wang Xianjiao, who completely disregards etiquette when her idol releases a new work, directly broadcast the song to the new media department's workspace.
The two girls parted ways with Yu Huan.
He had walked about ten steps away when Li Xiaoyu suddenly took off one of her earphones.
She whispered mysteriously to Wang Xianjiao, "I suspect Yu Huan is a fan of Lin Su. Back when we were in the editorial department, he would often secretly watch Lin Su's videos while he was at work!"
Wang Xianjiao pressed the volume button and turned the music down.
Remembering Yu Ge's instructions, she was determined not to let anyone know that Yu Ge was a fan of Lin Su's husband, and simply replied, "Right!"
Li Xiaoyu nodded, then suddenly changed the subject and said, "But Lin Su's new song is quite nice. I listened to it twice. The first line is a very insightful and clear-headed one: 'If you can hold on tight, don't let go; if you can embrace, don't pull away.' Hmm, it's very warm and healing!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xianjiao, feeling somewhat enlightened, looked at Li Xiaoyu with surprise.
Of course, she wouldn't follow Yu Huan's lead and call her "Sister Li" or any other teasing nickname. After a moment's thought, she said, "Xiaoyu, you must be a seasoned music fan, right?"
Li Xiaoyu lowered her head slightly, put on the straw, slurped up a mouthful of black rice porridge, and smiled modestly, saying, "It's alright, I mainly listen to Jay Chou and my second brother's songs a lot."
As someone involved in the fan community, Wang Xianjiao naturally knew that the "second brother" Li Xiaoyu was referring to was Wang Leehom.
It comes from the nickname his fans use for him.
Wang Xianjiao chuckled and then said, "I think Lin Su's song will definitely become a classic. I'm going to listen to it every day from now on! I'll listen to it on repeat today!"
One of them is an editor, and the other is an operations manager; their teams are not in the same region.
Just before they parted ways in the hallway, Li Xiaoyu nodded and said, "I'm going to listen to this on repeat too! The warm melody and heartfelt lyrics make this a song that can move you to tears in the quiet of the night!"
"Your comments are spot on! No wonder you're an editor!" Wang Xianjiao gave her a thumbs up.
Li Xiaoyu smiled lightly and returned to her workstation, glancing at the wall clock.
It was a little past 8:50. She casually pressed the power button on her computer, sat down, slurped up some black rice porridge, and put one of her headphones back on.
She had just logged into her work email when a new email notification popped up. When she looked at the sender, she was surprised to see that it was Yu Huan again.
It's worth noting that the coordination work has now been entirely handed over to Chen Yaoyao.
My right hand touched the mouse, and I curiously examined the content:
Editorial Team Member Li Xiaoyu:
This morning, popular singer Lin Su released her new solo single "Time Thief" on major music platforms. Please write a well-reasoned and convincing review, which will be published on all platforms by the operations team led by Wang Xianjiao this morning.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
'Yu Huan.'
After reading it word by word, Li Xiaoyu couldn't help but purse her lips.
That's it?
Just before she opened the email, she was full of anticipation for being entrusted with an important task!
But then again...
Li Xiaoyu closed her eyes in rapture, immersing herself in the music.
Ok.
This song is really good!
In the office, Yu Huan, after sending the email, comfortably clasped her hands behind her head and leaned back in her chair.
His feet were casually crossed, with his toes lightly touching the ground, exuding a sense of ease and freedom.
The reason I entrusted the task of reviewing "Echoes of the Rainbow" to Li Xiaoyu instead of doing it myself was because it would be quite embarrassing to ask him to sincerely boast about it.
Of course, if there's really no one else available, with his thick skin, he'd still be willing to brag a lot in order to promote his wife's new song.
However, Tuesday wasn't as busy as Monday.
Let's have a relaxing time slacking off!
Time flies by unnoticed.
Around noon, the thick clouds reluctantly drifted away from the sky above Changsha.
The long-suppressed sunlight eagerly poured down on the earth, instantly illuminating the entire city.
Gradually, the high-hanging sun shifted westward, and its originally intense light softened, bathing everything in a warm orange hue.
In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.
After yesterday's learning and familiarization with their positions, the new employees are now working in an orderly manner and have officially begun their tasks.
It's almost time to get off work.
Yu Huan gathered everyone together for a short meeting that lasted five or six minutes.
After praising each group in detail, he encouraged Chen Yaoyao, who was extremely busy, and then revealed that he would be organizing a departmental team-building activity on Saturday.
The team building activity will be held at a farmhouse in the suburbs at public expense. The theme will be a team outing and dinner. We hope everyone will participate enthusiastically.
During the Q&A session, while Director Li was absent, he subtly hinted that there would be no team culture building this time, and it was purely a publicly funded event for eating, drinking, and having fun to promote communication among colleagues.
The atmosphere was joyful and harmonious. Amidst continuous applause and cheers, Yu Huan waved his hand—
Meeting adjourned, get off work over!
A little after five o'clock, Yu Huan straddled her electric scooter, facing the magnificent sunset, her heart filled with pleasant joy, and sped home like the wind.
but.
While waiting for the traffic light at the intersection, Yu Huan's phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket. The song "It's You" struggled to reach her ears amidst the noise of the street.
Hearing the ringtone, he braced himself on the ground and pulled out his phone. Seeing that the contact was his wife, he quickly answered.
Just as he put the receiver to his ear, Lin Yourong's cheerful voice came from the other end of the line: "Hey~ honey, are you off work yet?"
Ok.
It sounds like she's a little tight-fitting.
But it really is very sweet!
Yu Huan glanced up at the crosswalk countdown timer; there were 17 seconds left. She quickly asked, "I'm off work, on my way home. What's up?"
"Sister Ru went back to Xingcheng this afternoon, along with her baby. They're at our house too; the little guy wants some grass jelly."
Yu Huan smiled and asked, "How many cups? Hot or room temperature?"
“Hmm—” Lin Yourong hesitated for a moment: “You buy three cups, all hot, and I’ll share them with you.”
Yu Huan nodded her chin: "Sure, is there anything else I need to buy?"
"That's all. Drive carefully and be safe."
"it is good."
Yu Huan hung up the phone, stuffed it back into his pocket, and then twisted the accelerator.
Driving the electric scooter at a leisurely pace, I glanced at the rows of shops lining the street, looking for any milk tea shops.
Suddenly, I remembered that there was a fairly large middle school near my home, and there must be some beverage shops nearby, so I stared intently at the road ahead and twisted the accelerator all the way to the floor.
Before long, Yu Huan rode his electric scooter slowly past the school gate.
With primary and secondary school students already on winter break, the place feels deserted and eerily quiet.
There's a milk tea stall right across the street.
A young woman with her hair in a bun was sitting behind the counter, idly playing on her phone.
Yu Huan parked her electric scooter to the side, pulled down the visor on her helmet, and then walked to the stall, ordering three cups of grass jelly with her.
He took out his wallet, pulled out three bills and handed them to her. While waiting, he noticed a small shop next door.
The store has a slightly retro style, and the toys displayed at the entrance are indeed very vintage.
Plush toys, small plastic rings, and even Tamagotchis!
When Yu Huan was a child, everyone called this thing an electronic pet machine.
An 8-bit display, a few small buttons, and a little animal inside that you can hatch and grow—there are all sorts of animals, like puppies, kittens, and dinosaurs…
It is clearly not an official Bandai product.
Years later, when children are addicted to watching short videos, playing games on smartphones, and wearing smartwatches, this thing will obviously have no market at all.
Overwhelmed by nostalgia, Yu Huan decisively bought two babies, one to raise herself and one to give to Sister Ru's cub.
Since it was unclear whether it was a boy or a girl, I didn't choose colors that were more girly; instead, I picked yellow and blue.
I tore off the packaging and casually stuffed it into my coat pocket.
After finishing her shopping, Yu Huan turned to the milk tea stall, picked up the milk tea made by the young lady, carefully placed it on the footrest of her electric scooter, and then went straight home.
The journey of a few hundred meters takes only a few minutes to reach the bottom of my building.
Considering that Sister Ru would probably drive the car away today, I tilted the electric scooter under the eaves on one side of the garage.
Carrying milk tea in both hands, she half-ran upstairs.
Yu Huan climbed up to the third floor in one breath, hooked the handle of a plastic bag containing a cup of milk tea with the pinky of her left hand, and held the key between her thumb and forefinger, slowly opening the door.
As the front door slowly opened—
"Pleasant Goat, Pretty Goat, Lazy Goat, Boiling Goat, Slow Goat, Soft Goat, Red Wolf, Gray Wolf, Don't underestimate me just because I'm a sheep..."
The television sound grew louder and louder.
Sitting on the sofa, Sister Ru met Yu Huan's eyes as she stepped across the threshold, and called out to the kitchen with a smile, "Su Su, your husband is back!"
Yu Huan glanced at a little girl with pigtails beside her, who looked about four or five years old, with rosy cheeks.
Her big, dark eyes stared intently at him.
This little girl looks very clever.
Yu Huan turned around and closed the door, then glanced at Sister Ru's dark brown wavy hair and said with a smile, "Sister Ru, your new hairstyle is nice, it suits you very well."
"right!"
Sister Ru covered her mouth with one hand, showing a bit of demureness, but she was delighted by the handsome man's praise.
She suddenly patted the little girl's shoulder: "Aunt Su's husband's name is Yu Huan, what should you call him?"
Yu Huan glanced back at Lin Yourong, who was busy cooking at the stove, and could hear the humming of the range hood.
He deftly shuffled his feet off his sneakers and slipped on his slippers to reach the coffee table.
With a smile on her face, she gently placed down the three cups of grass jelly milk tea.
The little girl stared blankly at Yu Huan's hands.
He swallowed hard, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "You should call him Uncle Huanhuan!"
"Eh!"
Yu Huan responded.
He quickly took two electronic pet devices out of his pocket, held them in his hands, and spread them out, asking her:
"Uncle, I bought two electronic pet machines. You and I will each have one. Which one do you want?"
Unexpectedly, the little girl didn't even look at the cup, but stared at the milk tea cup and said, "I want to eat grass jelly!"
Yu Huan froze instantly.
Sister Ru chuckled and quickly covered for him: "My little one was crying and fussing all afternoon, wanting to eat grass jelly."
Wearing an apron, Lin Yourong gracefully walked out of the kitchen, approached, glanced at Yu Huan's palm, and commented with a smile: "Elementary school student behavior!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan immediately clasped her hands together to prevent her from seeing, shrugged, and said, "This is what we call nostalgia!"
Sister Ru stuck a straw into a cup of grass jelly and had her little one hold it and drink it.
He tore open the lid of the grass jelly cup, stirred it with the included disposable spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and put it in his mouth.
Yu Huan glanced at Lin Yourong, who was half-squatting beside him, carefully tearing off the cup lid, and asked Sister Ru with a smile, "What's your son's name?"
The little one released the straw and cheerfully replied, "My name is Wang Weiwei, which means 'slight smile'!"
Then, she glanced at the two small toys on the coffee table.
Her little face showed hesitation, but she couldn't resist the temptation in the end. She pointed and said weakly, "Could you give me that yellow one? Thank you, Uncle Huanhuan!"
For this little guy, appetite is actually more important than material desires?
Little foodie!
Yu Huan quickly changed her mind and replied, "Okay!"
He picked up the yellow electronic pet machine and placed it on the coffee table in front of her. Then he squatted down and turned to look at Lin Yourong, who was eating grass jelly.
He asked with a smile, "Honey, what's for dinner tonight?"
Lin Yourong put down the grass jelly, stood up, clapped her hands lightly, looked at the burning stove fire, and said, "Steamed sea bass, steamed egg, stir-fried tripe with pickled radish, and a spinach dish."
After hearing her name the dishes, Yu Huan immediately felt a surge of craving and her mouth watered.
He clapped his hands in delight and said, "This is such a feast! My wife, you've worked so hard!"
Lin Yourong smiled and strode towards the kitchen.
Yu Huan picked up the milk tea cup, brought the rim close to her lips, and took a big gulp of milk tea.
I stood up and prepared to walk around the coffee table to sit on the sofa.
But then I heard Sister Ru slowly say while chewing on the ingredients of the grass jelly, "When I came back from Shanghai, Su Su asked me to get half a catty of deer antler powder for you from an old Chinese medicine clinic that I frequent. Remember to take 2 grams twice a day with warm water."
Uh?
Deer antler powder?
Yu Huan pondered the effects of this thing for a moment, glancing at the graceful figure busy at the stove.
His mouth was full of grass jelly milk tea, and he almost spat it out.
What exactly does Lin Yourong mean by this?
You want to give him kidney tonics and aphrodisiacs, right?
Damn it! Did they really think he was a one-shot kill guy?!
Holding a cup of grass jelly milk tea, Sister Ru stared at the animation on TV, her gaze mirroring Wang Weiwei's. As if casually, she spoke with the air of someone who'd been there all along:
"Regardless of gender, even the young should know how to exercise restraint, otherwise they will regret it when they get older."
Yu Huan felt utterly speechless.
What exactly did Lin Yourong say to her?
