Chapter 33 I will always support you
The clattering of keyboard keys came first from the receiver.
"Hello? Brother Huan..."
Hearing the tone of the voice on the other end, Yu Huan couldn't help but grin: "Why do I feel like you're a little afraid I'll ask you for money?"
"How could that be! That's impossible. Given Huan-ge's character," Yu Songnian immediately raised his voice, "it's not like he won't pay it back!"
"I need to get down to business. What's Xu Hui's situation right now?"
“He just graduated from New Oriental, but he doesn’t want to take the job assigned by the school. It only pays two thousand a month, and he thinks the salary is too low. He’s staying at home until after the New Year, and then he plans to start his own business.”
Yu Huan's fragmented memory of Xu Hui was confirmed, and he pondered for a moment before saying:
“Then tell him that I have a restaurant that needs a chef to cook rice dishes. It’s not a big job, five thousand a month. Ask him if he’d like to earn some extra money for the New Year. If he agrees, then give him my phone number.”
"No problem."
Yu Huan could tell he was distracted, clearly engrossed in his battle: "Remember, I'm hanging up now, I won't bother you anymore."
"Okay, I'll go see him in person tomorrow and say goodbye, Brother Huan."
"Ah."
Yu Huan hung up the phone, lost in thought.
Xu Hui was a young man from their village, two or three years younger than him, and roughly the same age as Yu Songnian.
They were somewhat related, but they didn't interact much, mainly because he was a man of few words and very introverted, the kind of person who would avoid anyone he knew in the village.
All Yu Huan knew was that he had just graduated from New Oriental Culinary School.
In my memory, Xu Hui and his family opened a restaurant of moderate size. He was the chef, and the rest of his relatives assisted him.
Yu Huan has eaten there a few times, and the taste is alright.
In a place like Changsha, the heart of Hunan cuisine culture, if a restaurant can thrive and locals find the food acceptable, that's already quite good.
Therefore, in Yu Huan's insightful view, Xu Hui was a talented individual.
Yu Huan cleared her mind of her chaotic thoughts and stretched out a big yawn.
After sitting on the toilet, brushing my teeth, washing my face, rinsing my feet with the showerhead, drying them, I went back to my room.
He tossed and turned in bed, his eyes closed, but his mind was racing.
I just can't fall asleep.
The two sets of parents are about to meet, and with things having progressed to this point, I can't help but feel uneasy...
After tossing and turning for a long time, his consciousness gradually faded away.
"Dong dong dong - dong dong -"
Yu Huan was awakened by a knock on the door.
He had just groggily opened his eyes when the unlocked door was pushed open slightly from the outside.
"It's nine o'clock, and you're still sleeping!"
Lin Yourong poked her head in, speaking as she looked inside.
Yu Huan rubbed her eyes and sat up, straightening her legs and bending her upper body down to stretch her muscles.
My mind was still a bit muddled: "You Rong—"
She almost blurted out "sister," but quickly corrected herself halfway through, saying, "Rongrong, good morning!"
Lin Yourong, with a foodie look on her face, asked, "Want to go eat Zunyi mutton rice noodles?"
"Eat!"
"Then get up quickly, I'll wait for you." After receiving Yu Huan's reply, Lin Yourong gently closed the door.
Actually, Yu Huan was afraid that she would just stand there with her big eyes open, waiting for him to get up.
Otherwise, how embarrassing!
Even though I was wearing thermal underwear underneath, there was no other way.
A pillar supporting the heavens!
Yu Huan jumped out of bed, dressed, slipped on her slippers, opened the door, and strolled out.
As he took his first step, he tried to put more weight on his left foot and felt that the discomfort and dull pain were much less than yesterday.
At least when walking slowly, I don't have to walk fast and slow at the same time anymore.
Before washing her face and brushing her teeth, Yu Huan looked around the quiet living and dining room.
Lin Yourong was seen wearing a beige knitted cardigan, sitting on a rattan chair on the balcony, holding a sheet of music and writing and drawing.
I walked up to her. The sunlight outlined her profile in a soft contour, and the fine down on her neck and ears shone with a faint golden luster.
Her small nostrils fluttered gently with her breathing.
Her fair and delicate cheeks made Yu Huan want to lean forward and give her a quick kiss.
Yu Huan forcibly suppressed this urge and asked curiously, "Where are your parents?"
“When I got up, they had already gone out,” Lin Yourong said, raising her clear, watery eyes. “They were either visiting other people’s homes or preparing to entertain our distinguished guests.”
Lin Yourong emphasized her words at the end.
Hearing her emphasize the word "distinguished guest," Yu Huan couldn't help but smile wryly: "Sister You Rong, there's no such thing as a distinguished guest, okay? Actually, my parents are already very familiar with your parents, oh, especially your dad."
Lin Yourong changed the subject and urged, "Why aren't you washing your face and brushing your teeth yet!"
"Ok!"
After tidying up, Yu Huan took Lin Yourong's hand and went downstairs.
Whether it's going to a restaurant or eating mutton rice noodles, it's only a ten-minute walk, so the two chose to walk out of the community.
The weather is quite comfortable today. The sun feels warm on my skin, and even the breeze carries a hint of warmth, making me feel intoxicated.
The two strolled along the sidewalk, and Yu Huan was in a pleasant mood when Lin Yourong suddenly said, "After lunch, you can take me to the airport."
"Huh? Is it in such a hurry?" Yu Huan asked in surprise.
Hear this.
Lin Yourong remained silent for a moment before speaking:
"Because the plane tickets were booked before I came here! I was just coming back to rest for two days, and then I'll go to Shanghai to continue recording songs for my first album!"
Hear the words.
Yu Huan immediately put her free hand to her mouth, making a megaphone shape, and shouted, "Go for it, Rongrong! I will always support you!"
Passersby immediately turned their gazes toward it.
Under the watchful eyes of the public.
Wearing a fisherman's hat and a mask, Lin Yourong subconsciously raised one hand and pinched the mask with her fingertips, pulling it up slightly.
"I will always support you, Rongrong!" Upon seeing this, Yu Huan immediately shouted at the top of her lungs again.
"Screw you!"
As Lin Yourong smiled through her mask, she turned to the side and playfully punched Yu Huan's arm with her little fist while pacing.
Yu Huan hurriedly rubbed his arm, pretending to grimace: "Heroine, what excellent boxing skills!"
The two of them playfully entered a store with a sign that read "Zunyi Lamb Rice Noodles".
Yu Huan ordered two bowls of mutton rice noodles at the counter and looked around.
It's already past nine o'clock, and there are only a few guests sitting here and there.
Yu Huan's eyes lit up when she noticed a two-person table right against the wall in the far corner.
He then led Lin Yourong to take their place.
Let her sit at the very back.
As long as you tilt your head to the side and pull down the brim of your hat to cover half of your face, you don't have to worry about being recognized.
“Look, it’s Du Haitao!” Yu Huan suddenly pointed to a photo on the right wall of the shop owner and the host of the anti-Korean pioneer video.
When the two of them laughed, their eyes appeared smaller than each other.
"Oh."
Lin Yourong merely glanced up at it before looking away.
She wasn't surprised at all.
In the early years when Changsha's development was just beginning and the city was sprawling out, the urban area was very small.
In such a small place, the entertainment industry is highly developed. Even celebrities need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves. It's perfectly normal for them to be caught taking photos with celebrities when they go out to eat.
However, there are many more cases where they don't get caught.
Take Lin Yourong as an example.
