Chapter 221 Begins with the First Meeting, Ends with the Last Days
Yu Huan completely ignored the jealous woman's words, lest she throw a tantrum and start making a fuss.
After Lin Yourong had finished fiddling with him, he remained as quiet as a chicken, and then his lips began to twitch as he changed the subject: "Reporting to my wife! Can I move now?"
The words have not yet fallen.
The two women burst out laughing at the same time.
"You can move now."
Lin Yourong patted his arm with a hint of reproach.
Yu Huan, who had been holding her breath, took a deep breath, switched the cola to her left hand, and intertwined her right hand with Lin Yourong's, causing her to sway gently with her steps.
After putting on sunglasses, the view became somewhat dim, and with the fisherman's hat covering my head completely, I immediately felt less refreshed.
He took a few sips of cola, and an idea flashed through his mind. He suggested, "Let's go eat some authentic Cantonese food later! I'll treat you guys to a meal!"
After a moment's hesitation, Lin Yourong said, "On my way here, I saw a Hunan restaurant near Baiyun Mountain—"
"That's a good idea!"
Sister Ru couldn't wait to interject:
"I've been eating slimming meals with Susu every day lately, and my mouth feels tasteless."
Lin Yourong smiled and said, "After all, I have to record a show, so I need to be in good shape!"
The camera makes you look three times fatter; even people of average build often appear bulky in photos.
Those female celebrities who appear too thin on camera are actually almost ghost-like in real life.
"Then let's go eat Hunan cuisine!" Yu Huan nodded slightly.
Lin Yourong chimed in: "Steamed fish head with chopped chili peppers, stir-fried pork with chili peppers!"
"no problem!"
Yu Huan looked at her pink lips and said with concern:
"You're a singer, not an actor. You're so busy with work, but you still need to eat properly. Don't go on a diet. Your health is the most important thing."
"Of course I've been eating well!" Lin Yourong's voice lowered slightly, sounding exceptionally gentle. "It's just that I've been eating very bland food lately."
Yu Huan deftly twisted the cap of the cola bottle with one hand.
With his other hand, he held Lin Yourong's hand, and the two swayed together: "Besides, if you're too thin, it'll be uncomfortable to hug you. Your current figure is just right."
Lin Yourong was glancing at Yu Huan's profile. It was the first time she had seen him wearing a hat and sunglasses, and she found it all very novel.
Upon hearing this, I immediately pinched the back of his hand as a warning!
Yu Huan coughed lightly and stared straight ahead.
But they didn't see that Lin Yourong's lips were slightly upturned at that moment, revealing a smile.
Upon hearing Yu Huan's words, Sister Ru glanced at the tourists around her.
She moved closer to them with light steps, lowering her voice slightly as she continued the conversation:
"Susu just prefers to wear loose clothes. She has a big bust, a small waist, and a curvy bottom. Such a hot figure, is that all you need? Yu Huan, your standards are probably a bit too high!"
"Uh……"
Yu Huan was speechless.
Although Lin Yourong does seem to have a lot to offer, with a shapely figure and just the right curves that inspire endless fantasies.
But this girl is too innocent; she gets angry if you pet her too much. She's a true lifelong single.
He has never been honest with him!
"Sister Ru!"
Lin Yourong stamped her feet in frustration, her voice tinged with embarrassment and annoyance:
"In public, with so many people around, could you please not say this?"
After hearing this, Sister Ru shook her head dismissively: "Fine, she's already married, why is she still acting like a virgin?"
That statement clearly hit the nail on the head.
Yu Huan glanced at Lin Yourong's earlobes, which were instantly flushed red, and was both amused and exasperated.
I felt that if I continued Ru Jie's line of conversation, it would inevitably be suspected of making things difficult for her.
Yu Huan deftly unscrewed the bottle cap with one hand, tilted his head back and drank the rest of the cola in one gulp, then glanced at the trash can diagonally opposite and said, "Honey, I'm going to throw this bottle away."
As soon as he finished speaking, he gently released Lin Yourong's hand.
When Yu Huan returned, the two women indeed changed the subject and started talking about their itinerary in Chuncheng the next day. The discussion that had embarrassed Lin Yourong earlier seemed to have been blown away by the wind.
The three of them strolled leisurely and comfortably.
Lin Yourong suddenly turned her head and looked at Yu Huan, asking, "You canceled the return ticket I bought for you before, so when did you buy your own ticket?"
Yu Huan smiled gently and replied, "I originally planned to stay with you one more night, so I bought a ticket for tomorrow morning. But after hearing that you said your flight is at 5 a.m. tomorrow, I quietly changed my ticket back to the high-speed train at 9 p.m. tonight."
He shrugged and sighed, "As your biggest supporter in the world, I don't want you to not get enough rest because of me, which would affect your condition tomorrow."
After all, flying is not like taking the high-speed rail. You can't be there on time, and you need to check in one or two hours in advance. That means Lin Yourong has to go to the airport at three in the morning.
Hearing this, Lin Yourong gripped Yu Huan's fingers tightly: "Mmm..."
She fell into a moment of contemplation.
Upon hearing this, Sister Ru raised an eyebrow and said half-jokingly, "Yu Huan, after the album signing event, Su Su will be staying in Xingcheng for a long time. You have plenty of time, so it won't make a difference if you stay a little longer."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Yourong hung her head and remained silent, not daring to utter a sound.
Yu Huan smiled and said, "That's true."
It's easy to ascend Baiyun Mountain from the South Gate via the winding mountain road.
It's easier to go back down the mountain via the same route.
The three of them took a short break along the way, and in less than an hour, they had leisurely strolled to the South Gate.
Yu Huan took out her phone and glanced at the time; it was almost four in the afternoon.
Sister Ru bent down and rubbed her thighs, sighing, "Ugh, this really exhausted me!"
In front of Yu Huan, Lin Yourong, who had been repeatedly teased by Sister Ru, finally found an opportunity to retaliate, jokingly saying:
"You're too weak! You didn't want to do exercises with me before, and now you can't even walk this little bit? You need to exercise more regularly!"
"forget it!"
Sister Ru waved her hand, a look of fear on her face:
"I'm sweating just watching you exercise. There's absolutely no need for me to suffer with you."
Yu Huan smiled, but couldn't say anything, so she remained silent.
In order to avoid revealing the fact that although they were husband and wife, they had never experienced the daily life of Lin You Rong and knew very little about her daily habits.
I just vaguely realized that Lin Yourong was the kind of person who was always busy and a total workaholic.
After exiting the south gate, Yu Huan quickly flagged down a taxi.
He hurriedly let go of Lin Yourong's hand and stepped forward to open the passenger door to prevent someone from getting there first.
Under Lin Yourong's low-pitched guidance, the driver turned around and slowly pulled over to the curb after less than five minutes of driving.
Yu Huan took out his wallet from his pocket, paid the fare, and then led the way, guiding Lin Yourong and Sister Ru into the restaurant.
Upon entering, small, dark-colored wooden square tables are neatly arranged in front of you, paired with simple and rustic benches, exuding a nostalgic atmosphere.
On the restaurant walls, distressed photos showcase the old-time features of Hunan and Hubei, while also displaying a variety of Hunan dishes.
The restaurant has a unique decor and looks quite clean, consistent with its facade, giving it a high-end feel.
It was still early, and looking around, there were no other diners besides them, only a few waiters resting at a table in the corner.
A waitress, around forty years old, greeted us with a warm smile.
"Welcome, sir/madam! How many people are in your party?"
Yu Huan almost blurted out "sister".
She glanced at the jealous man beside her, swallowed the term of endearment, and said with a smile, "Hello, it's just the three of us. Do you have a quieter private room?"
"Of course, it's on the second floor. Please follow me, all three of you."
She responded warmly, leading them through the dining hall, up the stairs to the second floor, and into a small private room.
It contains a small round table surrounded by five chairs with backrests, unlike the benches on the first floor.
There is also a single sofa in the corner.
Yu Huan considerately pulled out two chairs, then stepped aside to let Lin Yourong and Sister Ru sit down first.
After the two ladies were seated, he sat down next to Lin Yourong and picked up the plastic-sealed menu from the table.
Before even glancing at the menu, he immediately ordered two dishes: "A serving of chopped chili fish head and stir-fried pork with chili..."
He paused briefly, then looked at the 1,000-watt light bulb across the small round table: "Sister Ru, what would you like to eat?"
Sister Ru pondered for a moment: "Let's have Ningyuan blood duck, and some greens too."
Yu Huan took off her sunglasses and casually placed them on the table. She glanced at the menu: "Eggplant and green beans?"
"Okay." Sister Ru nodded in agreement.
The middle-aged waitress scribbled notes in her notebook, occasionally stealing a glance at Yu Huan's profile.
Two of the guests wore hats and sunglasses the entire time, even inside the private room.
When they first arrived, their outstanding demeanor made her initially think they were some big stars.
When he took off his sunglasses and revealed his face, he was indeed handsome, but he looked somewhat unfamiliar and I didn't recognize him.
She heard Yu Huan order another dish, "Stewed Pork Ribs with Yam," and quickly wrote it down. Seeing him put down the menu, she smiled and asked, "Is there anything else you need?"
Yu Huan pondered for a moment.
Better safe than sorry, in case this Hunan restaurant is too authentic and my wife's stomach, which is used to bland food, can't handle it.
He smiled and said, "Just a little spicy is fine."
"Okay, I understand." She nodded in agreement and then left the private room. After the waiter left, Yu Huan immediately moved her chair and sat down next to Lin Yourong, while taking off her fisherman's hat.
He glanced at the kilowatt light bulb that was playing on its phone and couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Yourong turned to the side, gently smoothed Yu Huan's bangs, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Yu Huan smiled slightly, and said with a touch of sadness, "After this meal, in just a few hours, we will go our separate ways again."
Sister Ru looked up, shifting her gaze from her phone screen to the couple, and said half-jokingly, "Yu Huan, don't sigh. Like I said, Su Su will be staying in Xingcheng for a long time in a while, so you won't miss a moment."
When Sister Ru, who has been through it all, talks about this topic without any reservations, she always speaks frankly and without reservation.
The two of them get along well in private.
In front of Yu Huan, Lin Yourong was extremely embarrassed and felt so uneasy that she just wanted to run away.
She didn't want to continue the topic, so she quickly took out her phone and held it up to her face to show that she didn't want to talk.
As soon as Sister Ru finished speaking, she looked back at her phone, and the room fell silent for a moment.
soon.
The food was served to the table one after another by a waitress.
After she took her leave, Lin Yourong, who was scrolling through her phone, took off her sunglasses. She noticed that Yu Huan was staring at her intently, and an unnatural expression appeared on her face.
"What are you looking at? All the dishes are served!" she finally couldn't help but say.
Yu Huan was resting her left cheek on her hand, smiling as she gazed at Lin Yourong's beautiful face, and joked, "Of course I have to take a few more glances, otherwise I won't have any to look at when I get back to Xingcheng!"
A smile involuntarily spread across Lin Yourong's face.
He picked up a piece of stir-fried pork with chili peppers and stuffed it into Yu Huan's mouth: "You talk too much, hurry up and eat!"
"Yes, wife!" Yu Huan said, chewing on the stir-fried pork with chili that his wife had fed him.
The aroma of stir-fried chili peppers and pork is incredibly appetizing.
Instead of immediately picking up his chopsticks, he first served Lin Yourong a bowl of rice, and then, showing his gentlemanly manners, made sure to serve Sister Ru a bowl as well.
Once the rice was all in place, we immediately began to eat.
Yu Huan picked up her chopsticks while pondering for a moment.
If they choose to eat Cantonese food, they definitely can't go to the more affordable street food stalls; they need to go to something more upscale, with private rooms that offer better privacy.
However, this would result in very high costs.
Comparatively speaking, Hunan cuisine is very cost-effective, mainly because the cuisine originated in central China, unlike Cantonese cuisine, which often features abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, and lobster.
Yu Huan strongly suspected that Lin Yourong didn't want him to spend too much money, especially since he had already offered to take them to eat authentic Cantonese cuisine.
Given Lin Yourong's personality, she would have no reason to refuse him if it weren't for this consideration.
It seems that his wife has been lowering her quality of life ever since she got together with him.
The thought of this.
Yu Huan skillfully picked out the two smoothest and tenderest pieces of meat under the cheeks of the chopped chili fish head, dipped them in the sauce at the bottom of the plate, and placed them in Lin Yourong's bowl.
"You eat some too." Lin Yourong's face was beaming with what was probably a smile of happiness.
While browsing her phone screen and exchanging work-related messages, Sister Ru shoveled food into her mouth.
I'm too lazy to watch them show off their affection.
"Do you want to eat steamed fish head with chopped chili peppers?" Yu Huan said with a smile, while also putting a piece of stir-fried pork with chili peppers into her bowl.
Lin Yourong hardly had to pick up any food herself, enjoying Yu Huan's attentive and meticulous service.
Before long, she shoveled the rice from the bottom of the bowl into her mouth.
Seeing Yu Huan about to pick up another piece of blood duck with his chopsticks, he hurriedly raised his hand and waved with a smile, indicating that he was full.
Yu Huan then placed the blood duck into her own bowl, stood up, and picked up a soup ladle: "Then let me serve you a bowl of soup."
Sister Ru put down her phone and pouted, "Yu Huan, I hope that after the honeymoon phase is over, you can maintain this attitude and still treat my Su Su so well!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan jokingly replied with a smile, "We're an old married couple now."
"From the time you met to when you got your marriage certificate, how long has it been?" Sister Ru rolled her eyes and began to lecture earnestly, "When the passion fades, marriage is just beginning. At your stage, you're far from being an old married couple!"
"Sister Ru, this theory doesn't apply to us! As for us—"
As Yu Huan spoke, she placed a bowl of soup filled with yam and pork ribs in front of Lin Yourong.
He gazed lovingly into her clear, almond-shaped eyes and continued, enunciating each word carefully:
"It begins with the first meeting and ends with the last!"
Sister Ru pondered these words for a moment, then nodded approvingly and gave a thumbs up: "No wonder you're such a talented lyricist and composer! Brilliant! No wonder you can make my Su Su so infatuated!"
"Right!" Yu Huan smiled smugly, her chin slightly raised.
Having been exposed to the influence of short videos, who doesn't know a few short, artistic phrases?
Lin Yourong listened to their conversation in silence, picked up a soup spoon, scooped a few spoonfuls into her mouth, and her eyes were somewhat dazed.
Looking at her obedient appearance, Yu Huan couldn't help but chuckle.
The next moment, his playful expression froze slightly.
But then, large tears welled up in Lin Yourong's eyes.
Like glistening pearls, they quietly slid down her fair cheeks, which were covered with a large area of light pink blush.
She hurriedly put down the soup spoon and frantically wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, but the uncontrollable sobs caused her shoulders to tremble slightly.
Uh……
Upon seeing this, Yu Huan immediately turned and pulled her into his arms.
In this urgent situation, he wiped the oil stains off the corner of his clothes with his left hand, then gently pressed her head down through his hat, letting her lean on his shoulder.
"What's wrong? Don't cry, don't cry..." His voice was full of doubt and worry.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with even louder crying.
At the same time, she reached out and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.
The person trembled in his arms as the cries grew louder and louder.
Sister Ru sighed and said with some emotion, "Actually, what you said earlier, in such a serious tone, was really touching. Especially since Susu has never been in a relationship before, and has never been coaxed like that by any other bad man!"
Yu Huan froze.
What do you mean by "never been coaxed like this by other bad men"?
What do you mean?
Does that mean he's a bad man?
"That's right!" Lin Yourong replied with a sob in her voice, gently rubbing her cheek against Yu Huan's shoulder and raising her little pink fist to punch his chest.
Seeing this, Sister Ru solemnly said to Yu Huan, "Yu Huan, so you mustn't become a bad man!"
His wife shed tears on his shoulder, and Yu Huan felt both heartache and speechless.
Speechless! This 1000-watt light bulb talks so much!
This is absolutely ruining the atmosphere!
Suddenly, she turned the scene into his critique session.
Helpless, Yu Huan gently patted Lin Yourong's back, comforting his wife first: "I don't know where I saw that sentence, I just said it casually. I feel bad that you're so moved to tears!"
Her crying gradually subsided, but her shoulders were still trembling slightly.
Yu Huan embraced her tightly.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
She suddenly lifted her face, which was ruined by crying, sniffled, and choked out through her teary eyes:
"I will never doubt or worry that you're seeing someone else again. But if you fall for someone else and cheat on me without telling me, then I will—"
His voice trailed off.
She gritted her teeth, as if she had truly made up her mind, and whispered in Yu Huan's ear, "I'll die right here!"
Yu Huan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, regretting that she had acted too maturely.
Her lips twitched, as if she were about to express her opinion, but Sister Ru suddenly put down her chopsticks and solemnly interjected:
"Susu, you're thinking the wrong way! Why should you take your own life just because a bad man walks away and lives a carefree life?"
Lin Yourong leaned her upper body against Yu Huan's chest, pulling a tissue from the box on the table to wipe her nose, but upon hearing this, she stubbornly retorted:
"What's wrong with that? I want him to live with a guilty conscience for the rest of his life! To be unable to sleep at night and tormented by his conscience!"
Yu Huan watched as the topic inexplicably veered off the path of him being a truly bad man, a path from which there was no turning back.
His hand, which was gently stroking Lin Yourong's back, paused for a moment.
He joked, somewhat speechlessly, "Such a good wife is hard to find even with a lantern. If I didn't love her anymore, my conscience would start to prick me. Let alone making my wife want to take her own life for me. I might as well die with her."
Hearing Yu Huan's words, which were both amusing and earnest, Lin Yourong finally stopped crying and started laughing.
Yu Huan noticed a snot bubble suddenly appear under her delicate nose and couldn't help but chuckle. She grabbed a tissue and gently wiped her nose.
"Well……"
Lin Yourong wrapped her arms around his waist and gently blew her nose, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Yu Huan then crumpled the tissue into a ball and accurately threw it into the nearby trash can.
He looked up at the ceiling and sighed, "One sentence moved my wife so much that she cried her eyes out and ruined her makeup!"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Yourong suddenly released her embrace and straightened up from his arms.
Tears still clung to her long eyelashes, and the tip of her nose was red from crying. The little tearful girl spat out, "Hmph, you're such a bad man!"
"What's wrong with me!?"
Yu Huan, feeling speechless, picked up her chopsticks and began the final task of finishing the plate.
