Chapter 66 A lifetime is still very long!
"I've been craving barbecue skewers for ages!"
Say it.
Lin Yourong subconsciously took Yu Huan's arm.
This intimate gesture pleased Yu Huan greatly, and her face beamed with a smile as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum.
The desk was against the wall, and the TV was mounted next to it.
The three of them couldn't possibly get that close and tilt their heads to look, could they?
He turned his head and looked around.
There's a small round table on the balcony, a comfortable spot to watch TV. But it's covered with all sorts of cosmetics, and a delicate little porcelain vase holds the white rose he gave me.
There wasn't a single gap.
Yu Huan pointed to the small round table: "Why don't we tidy up and eat there?"
Sister Ru thought about it for a moment and nodded: "That's good."
The two women tidied up.
Yu Huan first turned on the wall-mounted smart TV, used the remote to search for the "Empresses in the Palace" series, and selected to continue playing.
Seeing that the two of them were almost done, he quickly carried the food to the small round table.
Since there were only two rattan chairs provided, Yu Huan also moved the high-backed wooden chair with the writing desk over.
Sister Ru turned off all the lights except for one wall lamp on the balcony wall.
The wall lamp cast a faint, soft light, barely illuminating the small round table.
The rest of the room was shrouded in darkness.
The television screen displays a play of light and shadow.
It has an exceptionally good atmosphere.
everything's ready.
Yu Huan took out the four pies that Lin Yourong had specially ordered and placed them on the table one by one. After quite some time, the boxes were still warm.
He opened the banana pie box, handed it to Lin Yourong first, and then opened a taro pie for himself.
"Rongrong, you've said you want to eat McDonald's several times. Is it because of the pie?"
"Mmm." Lin Yourong took a small bite of the banana pie. "I like this."
This girl does have a particular fondness for sweets.
Pie is a McDonald's specialty, the only hot dessert made primarily with fruit, and comes in a wide variety of types and flavors.
Kenji didn't have it at first, but in order to compete with McDonald's, they released a few modified versions.
Lin Yourong watched TV, nibbled on a small portion of the banana pie like a hamster, and then turned to Sister Ru to ask, "Do you want to eat this banana pie?"
As she asked, her fingertips, as delicate as if she were peeling scallion roots, pinched the bitten part, as if trying to tear it open.
Sister Ru, holding a skewer of lamb, shook her head and said, "I don't eat bananas."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan immediately took the banana pie from Lin Yourong's hand.
She didn't even have time to tear open the part she had bitten; she only saw him squeeze the pie out of the box, take a big bite, and devour it all.
Yu Huan grinned at her, pouting.
He handed her the remaining half of the taro pie, which he had also nibbled on unevenly.
Lin Yourong took it, put it in her hand, and quietly and slowly began to gnaw on it.
Seeing this, Yu Huan was deeply gratified, and the two of them ended up giving each other a big kiss.
The episode was currently airing episode 42, in which Consort Hua was ordered to commit suicide by Emperor Yongzheng. The three of them watched it with rapt attention, their eyes glued to the screen.
Suddenly, the phone in front of Sister Ru lit up and beeped. She picked it up without looking down.
I glanced at it sideways and saw it was a text message from Manager Wang:
"Sister Ru, what are you and Asu doing? I'm treating you to late-night snacks at the Bund Bay Plaza at 8:30 tonight!"
She immediately glanced at the young couple who were feeding each other!
You and I are deeply in love.
Really blind.
However, they are a perfect match, a match made in heaven, so why should you, a monster, cause trouble?
Ignore it.
Sister Ru also switched her phone to airplane mode.
After sharing the four fruit pies, Lin Yourong, the girl, tried a little of each one.
The three of them then worked together to finish the takoyaki.
I ate some of the fried chicken, fries, and barbecue skewers from the McDonald's brown paper bag.
The two hamburgers and one chicken wrap remained untouched.
Sister Ru had almost finished eating, so she picked up her milk tea and nestled into bed, leaning against the headboard with a pillow behind her.
It took Yu Huan quite a while to realize that Sister Ru had left.
He turned to her and said, "Sister Ru, aren't you going to eat?"
"I'm full!" Sister Ru patted her stomach.
"Their combat strength is too weak."
"How old am I, and how old are you two?" Sister Ru rolled her eyes so hard they almost disappeared: "I'm almost a full twelve years older than you two! Our metabolisms are on completely different levels."
"Wow!" Yu Huan feigned surprise: "I thought you weren't thirty yet, Sister Ru!"
Sister Ru then turned to Lin Yourong and said, "Susu, how can your husband be so shameless? He doesn't even blush when he lies!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Yourong tore off a tissue and wiped the grease from Yu Huan's mouth: "What do you mean by thick-skinned? What do you mean by lying? Is it wrong to have high emotional intelligence?"
Sister Ru slammed her hand on the bed, feigning anger: "So you two are ganging up on me, an outsider, huh!"
"Sister Ru, don't exaggerate! I'm just telling the truth!" Lin Yourong folded the paper a few times and threw it into the basket.
"Wow, you're so sharp-tongued. Having your husband around really makes a difference."
Lin Yourong picked up a skewer of beef and chuckled.
The two women bantered and teased each other, while Yu Huan smiled and took a sip of her milk tea.
Sister Ru lay on the bed for a while, then got up and ate a few pieces of fried chicken.
Time passed slowly, and everything on the small round table except for the hamburgers and chicken wraps in the brown paper bag ended up in the three people's stomachs.
I really can't do this stuffy thing anymore.
Yu Huan let out a silent burp, sipped the last mouthful of milk tea, and looked at Lin Yourong's delicate profile before whispering, "Want to go out and play for a while?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong glanced at the wall clock; it was 8:07 PM.
After thinking for a moment, she turned to look at Yu Huan and said, "Forget it, let's just watch 'Empresses in the Palace,' or where do you want to go for fun?"
Her clear eyes held a questioning look.
"I didn't plan on. Watching TV is fine too, since we've been walking all day." Yu Huan lowered her head and tidied up the table.
"I'm not tired," Lin Yourong said.
Sister Ru rested her elbows on the edge of the table, her hand supporting her chin, and turned her head slightly at the sound: "What have you been doing all day?"
"After having morning tea, I went to Hang Lung Plaza to buy clothes, then went to People's Square to feed the pigeons for a while, ate at Haidilao, and then climbed Sheshan Mountain in the afternoon." Yu Huan said, putting red willow branches and various packaging boxes into the basket.
"Driving to so many places in one day? Don't you young people ever get a break?"
"For special forces soldiers on tourism, this is nothing!" Yu Huan shook his head.
"Special forces in tourism," Sister Ru couldn't help but smile, giving a thumbs up: "So apt!"
As the pinnacle of palace intrigue dramas, "Empresses in the Palace" keeps two women incredibly energetic.
I watched until after 11 p.m., my eyes wide open, completely absorbed without feeling sleepy at all.
Lin Yourong slept for a while in the car today and even took a hot shower, while Yu Huan didn't get much rest at all.
Hache took his leave after a long pause.
As I closed the door, I caught a glimpse of Sister Ru and Lin Yourong, both of them collapsing onto the bed.
This is probably how they usually are, right?
I sat with him for so long.
Yu Huan returned to her room.
First, I went to check the bathroom and confirmed that it was the same as the one in Lin Yourong's deluxe double room, with a large, non-removable shower head.
After all, those small, detachable showerheads are very likely to get dirty. I took a shower without worry.
Then blow-dry your hair casually.
Despite her disheveled hair, Yu Huan didn't lie back down to sleep. Instead, she forced herself to stay awake and sat at her desk.
I took the hotel's notebook, tore off the cap of the water-based pen, and started writing and drawing.
I sat there for two hours.
Yu Huan pursed her lips slightly, copied it again, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, carefully tore the paper off.
I'll put it under my notebook for now and give it to Lin Yourong tomorrow.
He leaned back in his chair and stretched, then picked up his phone from the table and turned it on to see that it was already 2 a.m.
I thought about it.
He sent Lin Yourong a WeChat message: "Rongrong, are you asleep?"
A moment later, the reply came: "No, I'm still watching The Legend of Zhen Huan."
Yu Huan was about to tell her to go to bed early, but then she thought that she had been working day and night recording songs, and it was only a rare two days of rest for her.
Enjoy what happened to enjoy?
Then play music, then dance!
Just as he was pondering this, Lin Yourong sent another message: "Why aren't you asleep yet? You drove for so long today, go to sleep!"
"I'm going to sleep now." (with a red lip emoji)
"Good night."
Yu Huan did not reply.
When he closed his eyes and opened them again, he picked up his phone from the bedside table, lit up the screen, and saw that it was already 10 a.m.
A fluffy, light quilt covered my body.
Yu Huan was in a daze.
Two and a half hours until I board the plane. It feels like I'll be back in Changsha in the blink of an eye.
Without lingering in the warm, soft bed, I got up, tidied myself up carefully, and styled my hair.
Yu Huan folded the papers at the bottom of the notebook and put them into the inside pocket of her coat.
I was about to squat on the toilet before leaving the house when the doorbell rang.
Peeking through the peephole, I saw a familiar fisherman's hat and a black cotton mask, and between them, clear, beautiful eyes.
Yu Huan hurriedly opened the door and welcomed her in.
Close the door.
The two strolled inside.
"Rongrong, why are you up?"
"I didn't stay up very late yesterday. After you sent me the message, I went to sleep." Lin Yourong's somewhat unnatural voice came from under her mask, sounding a little hesitant.
Yu Huan sensed something was off: "You have a cold?"
"No!" Lin Yourong turned her head and looked around, shaking her head hurriedly.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"no!"
"Oh." Yu Huan stroked her chin, turned around and walked to the bathroom: "Please sit wherever you like, I'm going to use the restroom first."
"Okay!" Lin Yourong nodded.
Not long after.
Yu Huan came out and invited her to have morning tea.
"Is Sister Ru awake yet?"
"No!" Lin Yourong sat at the desk, her hands clasped tightly together, her back ramrod straight. She turned her head stiffly to look at him and added, "She was still watching while I was sleeping!"
Yu Huan glanced at the charger on the socket next to the bedside table, took a few steps forward, pulled it off, and casually put it in her Armani shopping bag.
After thinking about it, I decided to put it at the bottom, just in case, to avoid it falling out later.
Watching Yu Huan's movements, Lin Yourong tensed up, like a taut bowstring.
Seeing him open the shopping bag and his breathing quicken, she hurriedly stood up and called out, "Let's go, let's go for dim sum!"
Yu Huan paused for a moment.
She picked up the shopping bags, turned around and paced back and forth: "I'll take the things to the car first, and then you can drive me there, okay?"
"Okay!" Lin Yourong said firmly.
When Yu Huan came to her, she took his outstretched hand without hesitation.
He held Lin Yourong's hand with one hand and changed his leather shoes with the other.
After leaving, give the room key to Lin Yourong so that she can pass it on to Sister Ru in case she forgets it later.
Lin Yourong said, "If you're not coming up again, go to my place first. I bought some pear syrup candy from the Old City God Temple for my dad. He smokes all the time and has a bit of a cough. You can bring it to him when you go back this time."
"Okay," Yu Huan nodded in response.
The two walked to the other end of the corridor.
Yu Huan waited outside.
A few moments.
Lin Yourong came out carrying a small bag and placed it directly into the shopping bag in Yu Huan's hand.
"Six boxes, a total of three jin. If you want to eat them, take two boxes."
"I don't like sweets," Yu Huan politely declined.
After going downstairs, get directly into the car.
Yu Huan gripped the steering wheel with one hand and drove to the dim sum restaurant from yesterday.
We booked a small private room, ordered some casual tea and snacks, and a pot of Tieguanyin tea, barely reaching the minimum spend of 200.
After all the tea and snacks were served, Lin Yourong took off her mask, leaving only her fisherman's hat, and used her fingertips to scoop porridge into her mouth.
Yu Huan picked up a piece of rice noodle roll with the tip of her chopsticks, savored a mouthful of sauce, and then put it in her mouth.
The two were having morning tea.
The years are quiet.
After finishing her porridge, Lin Yourong suddenly looked up and asked Yu Huan curiously, "I saw you yawning a lot last night. Why did you go to bed so late after you got back?"
"A hot shower really refreshed me!" Yu Huan smiled.
"Oh."
Yu Huan opened her mouth to continue speaking, but Lin Yourong suddenly said, "I'll finish recording this album soon, in no more than ten days."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan's face lit up with joy: "Then we'll be able to go back to Xingcheng?"
"Yes and no." Lin Yourong shook her head.
"Ok?"
Lin Yourong explained to him, "There's also mixing and mastering. After the music production is finished, there's post-production planning, a music video for the title track, album cover shooting, and pre-release promotion. I can't just walk away from any of these things. Making an album isn't an easy task!"
"Okay, I get it now."
Yu Huan slumped into the chair, feeling utterly deflated.
Seeing his listless appearance, Lin Yourong smiled and said, "You have a long life ahead of you."
Yu Huan looked up at her radiant smile and nodded: "Yes, a lifetime is still very long!"
This place is only a 20-minute drive from Hongqiao Airport, so we had a leisurely morning tea.
They finished their meal at a leisurely pace, and it was only 11:15.
Lin Yourong went to the restroom.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Huan quickly opened her crossbody bag, took out folded papers from the inside pocket of her coat, and put them in a hidden compartment.
After Lin Yourong returns.
The two tidied themselves up and went downstairs.
Yu Huan gripped the steering wheel and said, "The reason I went to bed so late last night was partly because I took a shower, but actually, I had a melody and lyrics stuck in my head that kept me awake—"
"Huh?" Lin Yourong looked surprised. "What melody? What lyrics?"
