Chapter 339 Love you
"Where's my phone?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan casually placed the small cardboard box on the basket.
He gently patted the pockets hidden under the hem of his trench coat and said softly, "Here it is. Your mom just sent a text message asking if we've arrived home yet, and I replied that I'm picking up a package at the courier station."
"Oh." Lin Yourong nodded slightly.
Suddenly, the hand that was hanging freely at her side was grasped by a warm, broad hand.
The cold wind howled and swept in, the damp chill unique to the South felt like countless icy needles, piercing into one's skin with imperceptible force.
Lin Yourong pressed her fisherman's hat down tightly and subconsciously moved closer to Yu Huan, leaning against his shoulder as if that would ward off the biting cold.
Yu Huan glanced at Lin Yourong's light down jacket and said with a smile, "Wife, if you feel a bit cold from the wind, you can walk behind me."
"Oh, right." Lin Yourong suddenly let go of Yu Huan's hand, went around behind him, curled up slightly, and pressed one arm against his back.
In that instant, the biting cold wind subsided considerably.
Yu Huan slowed her pace, matching Lin Yourong's stride, and strolled slowly towards home.
The streets were somewhat deserted, with a few withered yellow leaves occasionally drifting down, swirling to the ground. Occasionally one or two people would hurry by, their coats pulled tighter, their heads buried deep in their collars, or walking briskly with their heads down.
The couple's shadows stretched out slowly, overlapping each other under the streetlights.
As they passed a trash can, Yu Huan inadvertently spotted a large, fat cat squatting nearby.
The cat warily watched the dimly lit fried food stall across the street, its round eyes gleaming eerily in the night.
Just as I was about to look away, I saw two parabolic arcs land a meter away from the big fat cat.
Yu Huan stared intently for a moment and realized that they were two bright red strawberries that rolled past her not far away and were eventually stopped by the curb.
The fat cat stared intently at the two strawberries, hesitated for a moment, but then quickly ran over, picked up one of the strawberries, and began to lick and bite it.
It ate with great concentration, its head swaying slightly, its chubby body gently moving with its movements, looking incredibly cute.
A smile appeared on Yu Huan's face as she said softly, "It looks like this little guy is having a really hard time eating a strawberry."
“Cats don’t have a chewing function, so they can only bite slowly,” Lin Yourong replied softly from behind him.
As the couple walked past the cat, Yu Huan casually asked, "Honey, why don't you feed it a couple more?"
"No, it's too fat. Strawberries are high in sugar, and it's not good to eat too many," Lin Yourong replied softly.
"That's true." Yu Huan nodded.
They slowly walked to the end of the street and then turned left.
At that moment, the cold wind blowing from the front suddenly blew to their sides.
Lin Yourong quickly hid to Yu Huan's left, took his arm, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Why is it so cold all of a sudden?"
Yu Huan took her slightly chilly hand and put it into his trench coat pocket. After a moment's thought, he said, "The weather forecast has been updated again. It looks like it will rain lightly tomorrow and sleet the day after."
"Is it Light Snow or Heavy Snow?" Lin Yourong asked with some curiosity.
"It's rare for Xingcheng to have such a heavy snowfall. I estimate this time it will just be a light snowfall for a while, and then it'll be over."
"Oh, hurry up, hurry up, it's freezing!" Lin Yourong said, and quickly led Yu Huan to quicken their pace.
Before long, the two hurriedly climbed the stairs.
Stepping into the house, the contrast between the indoor temperature and the cold, damp street outside immediately made me feel comfortable.
They both took off their head-covering gear and put on soft cotton slippers.
Yu Huan put the two small baskets of strawberries into the kitchen cabinet, then cut open the package with scissors and threw the cardboard box into the trash can.
He took the lubricant, turned around and went back to the living room, placed it on the coffee table, and then slumped into the sofa.
Lin Yourong gathered up the bags and packages on one side of the entrance, carrying a guitar case in each hand, and walked towards the karaoke room.
Seeing this, Yu Huan slapped his sore thigh and quickly emphasized, "Wife, it's 7:33 now. I'll rest for five minutes first!"
Lin Yourong paused slightly, smiled, and said, "Go take a shower first. You worked up a sweat playing badminton this afternoon. I'll take care of it."
"Aren't we supposed to work out?"
“Working out is a long-term plan. You seem to have no energy left. Go get some clothes, take a hot shower, and relax.” With that, Lin Yourong carried two guitar cases into the karaoke room.
Yu Huan, who just wanted to lie down, readily agreed: "Sure, I'll follow my wife's orders!"
Having suffered a minor foot fracture and not engaging in strenuous exercise for nearly six months, Yu Huan felt a slight soreness in all her muscles, except for her legs.
However, looking at the small bottle of Durex lubricant on the coffee table...
Then I think about how the warrior of pure love took a big step forward by sleeping without a bra...
I'm inexplicably feeling a bit excited?
Yu Huan glanced at the wall clock absentmindedly, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: she still had to call Teacher Wu.
He didn't forget to put Lin Yourong's phone on the coffee table. His tired body dragged his heavy legs as he went into the bedroom to find a change of thermal underwear and then his pajamas.
As she came out carrying clothes in both hands, she passed by the karaoke room and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lin Yourong fiddling with a photo in front of the photo wall. A photo that was clearly larger than a Polaroid film was sandwiched between the photos.
Yu Huan immediately stepped inside out of curiosity and took a closer look.
It turns out that the photo was taken by Yu Chengcheng when they went to Yuelu Mountain last time, showing the couple on the cable car.
In particular, one photo shows the two of them with their faces turned to the side and their lips gently touching. Ji Meng adjusted the colors of the blue sky and white clouds to a warm tone, creating a special atmosphere that is both sweet and warm.
Yu Huan looked away, glancing at Lin Yourong's profile. Noticing that she was holding two more photos, she asked, "When did Ji Meng print these photos?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong turned her head, her bright almond-shaped eyes under her bangs looking at him gently and saying, "This was given to me when I had lunch at Sister Ru's house yesterday, but I didn't have time to hang it on the wall."
"Oh." Yu Huan nodded, smiled brightly, and said, "Wife, I'm going to take a shower first. I'll leave the tidying up to you."
Lin Yourong raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said gently, "Okay, go wash up."
After saying that, she turned back to continue arranging the photos, placing these larger photos around the edges of the heart.
With a smile on her face, Yu Huan turned around and strode out of the karaoke room, heading straight for the restroom.
He placed the clothes he was carrying on the wall shelf, casually pressed the wall switch next to him, and the bathroom heater was instantly turned on, the "buzzing" sound immediately filling the relatively enclosed space.
He didn't rush to take off his clothes and shower; instead, he called Teacher Wu first.
The ringtone stopped quickly, and after the call connected, Yu Huan lowered her voice and softly called out, "Mom."
"Hey, I just went visiting and got a hundred free-range eggs!" Ms. Wu's voice sounded particularly cheerful, accompanied by a gust of wind noise. Judging from her words, it was clear that she was on her way home.
Yu Huan laughed heartily after hearing this and asked into the phone, "What time are you coming over tomorrow?"
“Your dad said he’ll go to the garden to pick vegetables again tomorrow morning, plus some other miscellaneous things, it’ll be around ten o’clock by then.” Teacher Wu paused, then suddenly smiled. “Songnian ate here tonight and had some drinks with the old man. The old man kept insisting on coming along, but your dad and I had to persuade him to stay.”
Yu Huan raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said softly, "The New Year is just around the corner, and that's when he'll give his granddaughter-in-law a red envelope."
"That's what I told your dad too."
Yu Huan suddenly coughed lightly: "Mom, we haven't given Rongrong the 'change of address fee' yet—"
“We know that. We already went to withdraw the money with your dad yesterday.” Teacher Wu abruptly interrupted him, then jokingly added, “Why are you worrying about this? Are you afraid your wife will be wronged?”
Yu Huan quickly said, "No, Mom, I wanted to transfer the money to you privately!"
The noise of the wind mixed with Teacher Wu's voice, which was full of love and relief: "Silly boy, what are you saying! Your father and I only have you as our only son, do you expect me to pay for this?"
Yu Huan scratched his head: "I see that you guys have already spent over 500,000 yuan of my savings during this period!" "Your dad and I don't have any expenses right now. It's better for you and You Rong to live a good life. That's better than anything else."
"Oh!" Yu Huan responded and thought for a moment, then didn't ask how big the red envelope was. "Mom, I'm going to take a shower now. See you tomorrow."
"it is good."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Huan, still feeling sore all over, slowly spent more than twenty minutes taking a hot shower.
After drying myself off, I put on soft pajamas and felt completely refreshed.
He casually tossed his underwear into a small basin next to the washing machine and stood in front of the sink.
I had just taken the hairdryer out of the cabinet at the bottom when, in the quiet, I keenly heard my phone in my pajama pocket ring with a WeChat notification. I immediately took it out and turned on the screen to check.
It turned out to be a message from his capable assistant, Chen Yaoyao: 'Brother Yu, the bus has arrived at the Zaobao building, everyone is accounted for, mission accomplished successfully!'
Yu Huan tapped her thumb on the tic-tac-toe grid: "You've worked hard, Chen Yaoyao. Get some rest tonight."
After clicking send, he quickly replied with a thumbs-up emoji.
"It's not tiring at all. A few of us have already made plans to go to the arcade for some more fun!"
Yu Huan smiled and replied, "Sure, we still have a day off. Have fun at the evening show."
'Okay, Brother Yu, I won't bother you any longer.'
Yu Huan sent another smiley face, put her phone back in her pocket, and then plugged the hair dryer into the wall socket.
I ate heartily at both lunch and dinner, thinking that I probably wouldn't eat anything else tonight.
After blow-drying his hair, I lightly brushed my teeth and shaved my stubble clean so as not to prick my delicate wife's skin during our kiss.
After everything was finished, I didn't see my wife in the living room.
Suddenly I realized that Saturday night is home alone, and her favorite show, "Raising Children Is Difficult," isn't on...
Yu Huan grabbed the lubricant from the coffee table and put it in his pocket. As he passed the closed karaoke room, he heard a rustling sound, subtle yet clearly audible.
Looking through the crack in the door, I could see that the lights were still on inside.
Turning the doorknob and peeking inside, I saw that the curtains were tightly closed, and Lin Yourong was standing with her back to the window, her posture as upright as a pine tree.
She nimbly jumped around while clapping her hands above her head, doing jumping jacks.
The rustling sound was actually the friction of sneakers against the rubber carpet.
From the back, you can see that Lin Yourong is wearing a loose black sports jacket, her ponytail is swaying gently with her movements, and she is also wearing a neckband Bluetooth headset.
Going to the gym without yoga clothes—are all "pure love warriors" this conservative at home?
A smile appeared on Yu Huan's face as she walked into the karaoke room. She turned around, gently touched the door shut, and strode toward the beanbag chair against the corner of the wall.
He lay comfortably on the soft beanbag chair, watching his wife, who was full of energy as she moved around.
After fifty jumping jacks, Lin Yourong stopped, slightly out of breath. Her bangs were messy and slightly damp, sticking to her forehead, but they also gave her a unique kind of beauty.
He was about to make a joke that she must be wearing a sports bra, because it wasn't swinging around at all.
However, after catching her breath for a moment, she did not rest immediately, but instead started doing very difficult burpees again.
It's not a simplified variation; the push-up is performed meticulously and perfectly.
Following her movements, Yu Huan counted to fifteen in a row, and was immediately dumbfounded, losing all trace of her teasing intent.
No wonder Sister Ru said she felt scared when she saw her exercising...
No wonder this pure love warrior likes to drink milk tea and eat sweets, and even has abs...
Seeing her stop and look up at the ceiling, panting, Yu Huan raised his voice with admiration and said, "Wife, are you that strong? You did more than a dozen burpees in one go?"
Amidst the rapid beats of electronic instrumental music, Lin Yourong suddenly heard faint voices coming from not far beside her.
She quickly turned her head and saw Yu Huan, who had entered at some point. She quickly reached out and took off both of her earphones.
"Huh?" Lin Yourong looked puzzled.
I hadn't heard what Yu Huan was saying at all.
"I said, honey, you can do burpees too?" Yu Huan repeated softly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong, panting, slowly said, "This exercise is quite useful. It can work many areas, and the intensity is just right for me. No matter what kind of fitness exercise I do, I always do four sets of burpees at the end."
As a girl, four sets of burpees, fifteen reps per set...
Thinking hard!
Yu Huan looked at the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and stood up with some tenderness, saying, "I'll go get you a towel to wipe your sweat."
"Okay." Lin Yourong smiled slightly and put the earphones back in her ears.
Yu Huan went to the bathroom to get a dry towel and came back to see that in less than a minute, Lin Yourong, after a short rest, started doing burpees again.
Her figure was full of energy, and every movement was perfectly executed.
After she finished her set, Yu Huan quickly handed her a towel with both hands.
Lin Yourong took the towel, panting, and gently wiped her forehead and neck before placing it on the long table to the side.
It was best not to talk to her at a time like this. Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Yu Huan slumped back into the beanbag chair.
His gaze remained fixed on Lin Yourong, observing her secretly.
Not long after, Lin Yourong finished four sets of burpees, took off her headphones, and was drenched in sweat.
Her chest heaved rapidly, a few strands of damp hair clung to her neck, and fine beads of sweat covered her forehead, trickling down her cheeks to her chin.
"Why are you working so hard? It hurts to see you like this!" Yu Huan wasn't just saying that; she genuinely felt sorry for him.
Lin Yourong put her hands on her hips and slightly raised her chin.
She calmed her breathing and said, panting slightly, "It's okay, I'm used to it. Every time I work out, I try to feel tired within thirty minutes, and then the intensity gradually increases."
She reached up and tucked the strands of hair that were clinging to her neck behind her ear, turned around, picked up a towel, gently wiped her face, and then rubbed her slender neck, saying, "This is how you achieve the desired exercise effect."
"No wonder she's a woman with body image anxiety!" Yu Huan gave a thumbs up, her eyes full of admiration.
Lin Yourong gave him a light glare, but in response to his teasing, she explained in detail: "No, darling, singing requires abdominal breathing. A single breath often lasts for more than ten seconds. Maintaining breath control and vocal power both require lung capacity, so aerobic and abdominal training are especially important."
“Yes, you mentioned it to me briefly before.” Yu Huan nodded, stood up, and walked towards the door, saying, “I’ll go get you some clean clothes. You can rest for a while.”
"I've already prepared to put it by the bedside..."
"Then I'll take it to the shower for you!"
Faced with Yu Huan's sudden attentiveness, Lin Yourong held a towel in her hand and looked at his back, and couldn't help but smile softly.
She's obviously so tired tonight, she probably won't have the energy to pester me or ask me to do this or that, right?
After Yu Huan entered the bedroom, she slightly moved a pile of clothes on the edge of the bed.
I happened to see the black butterfly lace-trimmed bra in the middle, and cleverly picked it out and hung it on the coat rack.
He then tucked the clothes into his arms and passed by the karaoke room, but did not see Lin Yourong. Instead, he heard a faint "whooshing" sound coming from the bathroom.
Walking over, he saw her standing in front of the sink washing a towel. Yu Huan said in detail, "Wife, I hung your bra on the rack."
"Hmm..." Lin Yourong rubbed the towel with her head drooping, not daring to make a sound.
