How did you feel about Chapter 330?
Yu Huan stood by the tap, opened the plastic bag, and stared at the water jets gushing as they hit the strawberries inside.
Tap water gradually filled the bag, and the strawberries on the surface began to tumble as the water flowed.
Then, he turned off the tap, gripped both handles tightly with his right hand, and reached into the bag with his left hand to gently wash it.
In this tranquility, the distant sound of dogs barking drifted over.
A little further away, the cheerful laughter of three women rose and fell.
Yu Huan was at the innermost side of the corrugated steel roof. He turned slightly to the side and peeked out from behind the wall.
At the iron gate of the orchard, Li Qianqian had a bright smile on her face, one hand affectionately holding Lin Yourong's arm, and the other hand gesturing to Ji Meng from time to time.
This lively demeanor made Yu Huan think to herself, "No wonder he's a social terrorist."
Lin Yourong still felt a bit awkward after not seeing her for so many years and didn't know what to say, but Li Qianqian hugged and cuddled her tightly, laughing and joking. She was such a lively character.
After glancing at it briefly, Yu Huan straightened up and scrubbed the strawberries even more carefully.
After a moment's thought, he simply pinched two small openings at the bottom of the plastic bag.
Turn the tap back on, let the water run for a short while, and then watch the water drain away slowly.
Immediately, he grabbed a handful of strawberries and popped one into his mouth.
With lips slightly parted, a sweet taste mixed with a hint of sourness spread through the mouth.
Yu Huan, carrying a bag, strolled leisurely toward the entrance of the orchard.
As he strode forward, he glanced at the elderly couple in front of the corrugated iron roof house, swallowed the strawberry, and said in a clear voice, "Thank you, uncles and aunties!"
The woman, addressed as "Auntie," squinted her eyes with delight and waved her hand with a smile: "Don't mention it, come again anytime!"
Yu Huan popped another strawberry into her mouth, a bright smile spreading across her face, and replied, "No problem."
Knowing his first wife had a sweet tooth, Yu Huan rushed over to Lin Yourong, paused slightly, and handed her the bag directly: "Young Master Lin, I've washed the strawberries, please enjoy!"
"You're such a chatterbox." Lin Yourong reached out and grabbed him, giving him a coquettish glare.
From Yu Huan's perspective, those eyes were full of love and tenderness.
He chuckled and turned to Ji Meng and Li Qianqian, saying, "Come on, try these strawberries, they're so sweet."
After saying that, he stuffed the two strawberries in his hand into his mouth, then bent down and picked up the two small baskets at Lin Yourong's feet.
On one of the baskets was a bottle of mineral water.
He put all the overflowing strawberries into a plastic bag to wash and enjoy. Now that he was picking them up, he didn't have to be so careful, worried that they would fall.
Although Lin Yourong was drooling, she didn't rush to eat. Instead, she opened the plastic bag and offered it to her two friends.
Li Qianqian grabbed a handful of strawberries from the plastic bag and said with a grin, "Hehe, then I won't be polite!"
Ji Meng then took a strawberry from the bag and put it in her mouth. After taking a bite, she immediately exclaimed, "Mmm, delicious! It's so sweet!"
Lin Yourong smiled and said, "Right? The strawberries here are really good. If you like them, eat more."
As they were talking, Yu Huan suddenly heard bursts of laughter and playful banter coming from the direction they had come from.
He turned his head and saw familiar faces coming into view. A group of more than ten people were marching in a grand procession.
Before he even got close, he heard Wang Zhi yell at him, "Brother Yu—!"
Yu Huan turned around and watched the group approach with a smile.
Amidst the continuous calls of "Brother Yu," he nodded slightly in response, and for a moment, he even felt like he was about to become a gang leader.
When the two met, he glanced at Chen Yaoyao, who was walking at the front of the group, and casually asked, "Where are you two going?"
Chen Yaoyao stopped and looked away from the small red basket he was carrying. Big Apple said with a big smile, "Let's pick strawberries too!"
Yu Huan understood immediately and asked, "Was it Wang Xianjiao or Zheng Yu who told you that the strawberries here are good?"
“That’s right!” Xu Fei chimed in, then looked at Lin Yourong behind Yu Huan and greeted her with a grin, “Hello, sister-in-law!”
As if a switch had been flipped, greetings of "Hello, sister-in-law!" and "Hello, Sister-in-law Yu!" filled the air.
Lin Yourong awkwardly pulled her mask up a little.
She cleared her throat discreetly and replied loudly, "Hello!"
Yu Huan glanced around at the crowd who had stopped in their tracks, and amidst the chattering noise, laughed loudly, "The strawberries here are really good. Have fun, we'll be going now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yaoyao replied with a smile, "Okay! Brother Yu, take care."
"Take care, Brother Yu and Sister-in-law Yu!"
In an instant, cheerful responses rose and fell.
Yu Huan, carrying a small basket, turned around with the air of a gang leader and took the lead, leading the three women on yo-yos as they continued deeper into the area.
As the noise faded and the place became quiet, he turned to look at Lin Yourong.
At this moment, she had pulled her mask down to her chin and was slightly parting her lips to taste the strawberry.
"Honey, how did it feel to be called 'sister-in-law' by so many people just now?"
What does it feel like?
Lin Yourong's lips moved slightly, but she knew that her mind was buzzing at the time, and she had no idea where to begin.
Ji Meng chimed in with a hint of sarcasm: "What else could she feel? Of course, she'd feel really embarrassed. I bet her fingers are twisted into a pretzel."
"Go to hell!" Lin Yourong swallowed the strawberry in her mouth, immediately turned to the side, and lightly punched Ji Meng's arm, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed.
Ji Meng stuck her tongue out at her with a grin: "Hehehe—"
Li Qianqian took a bite of the strawberry tip and said with a smile, "I think Huan-ge gets along very well with them. Everyone seems very warm and relaxed."
Yu Huan slowed her pace and turned around.
Before he could even open his mouth to ask for food, Lin Yourong tacitly placed a strawberry from her palm into his mouth.
Yu Huan turned around and started walking, chewing on a strawberry with a satisfied smile on her face.
Discussing with female college students about how leaders and subordinates should get along, or the balance between work and personal relationships, is really unnecessary.
He smiled and turned to Ji Meng, asking, "Ji Meng, do you have any good recommendations for places to go? Do you have any ideas?"
“I don’t really have a clue. A farm stay isn’t an amusement park, there aren’t that many things to do. This road leads to the pigsty, where you can see pigs, and also cattle and sheep.” Ji Meng paused slightly, then turned to look to her right.
There, in the front yard of a detached cabin, there were two outdoor swing chairs, the kind with sunshades on them.
Lin Yourong followed her gaze and immediately said, "Let's go sit on the swings for a while."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan stopped and turned around, smiling as he echoed, "Alright, we'll follow Young Master Lin's arrangements."
Li Qianqian chuckled and teased, "Sister Yourong is Young Master Lin, then Brother Huan, are you Miss Yu?"
Yu Huan followed the three women toward the swing chair, chuckled, and said without hesitation, "Why not call me Guard Yu? I can also be Young Master Lin's protector." As soon as he finished speaking, the three women burst out laughing in unison.
Lin Yourong, who was walking in the middle, suddenly slowed down and waited for Yu Huan to come forward so that the two could walk side by side.
Lin Yourong turned to the side, raised her hand to feed him a strawberry, and asked softly, "Honey, what time do you guys start your lunch gathering?"
Yu Huan lowered her head, put the strawberry in her mouth, and slowly said, "Dinner starts at 12 o'clock, but you should arrive at least 10 or 20 minutes early."
"Oh." Lin Yourong withdrew her hand and nodded her chin.
As she approached the cabin, unsure if anyone was inside, she popped one last strawberry into her mouth and then pulled up her mask.
Ji Meng glanced at her watch: "It's almost 10:30 now."
Yu Huan chewed on the strawberry in her mouth and said with a smile, "That's perfect. Let's sit here for a while, take a stroll, and then we can go have a big meal."
The sun shines brightly, and a gentle breeze brings warmth.
The off-white walls of the detached cottage gleamed softly in the sunlight.
The front yard is spacious and clean, with two outdoor swing chairs placed in the center of the withered yellow lawn.
Yu Huan followed Ji Meng and Li Qianqian and placed the small basket in her hand on the edge stone of the flower bed.
Looking back, Lin Yourong was already seated.
He hurried forward, his feet barely touching the ground, and sat down right next to his first wife.
Although there are still quite a few gaps in this swing chair, it would be a bit crowded if another adult sat in it. It is more suitable for two adults and one child, a family of three.
He had just casually moved the bag his first wife had placed in the middle to the side when Lin Yourong lazily leaned her head on his shoulder and sighed contentedly, "This is so nice~"
"What's so good about it?" Yu Huan asked with a smile, gently stroking her smooth forehead.
Lin Yourong glanced at Ji Meng and Li Qianqian walking towards them and said softly, "It's so nice to have such a sunny and warm day in winter, and to have you by my side, to have good friends with me, to play around without doing anything, and not have to think about anything. This feeling is really comfortable."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan laughed without hesitation and said, "Don't push yourself so hard in the future, I'm here for you—"
Before she could finish speaking, Ji Meng looked at their current posture and said with a grin, "Oh my~ Rongrong, do you have to be so girly? So sweet!"
"Mind your own business!" Lin Yourong immediately raised her head, turned her body to the side, lifted her legs and put them on Yu Huan's legs, then wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him.
She glanced at Ji Meng sideways and said coquettishly, "I'm just being clingy, so what?"
"Indecent! Indecent!" Ji Meng shook her head vigorously and walked to another swing chair next to her to sit down.
She was clearly defeated in this battle of wits.
Li Qianqian chuckled, then went around behind the couple, saying, "Sister Rong, Brother Huan, let me push you on the swing!"
Yu Huan still had a slight smile on her face. Upon hearing this, she gently pressed the plastic bag beside her with her left hand while tightly hugging Lin Yourong with her right arm.
Once everything was ready, he nodded slightly and said gently, "Okay, just give us a quick start-up."
With Li Qianqian's push, the swing chair swayed back and forth rhythmically.
The frame creaked slightly as it swayed. When the swing chair swung back down, Yu Huan's feet landed firmly on the ground, and then she pushed off with her legs to help.
The swing swung higher and higher, the wind whistling in my ears.
Lin Yourong felt like she was about to be thrown out amidst the turbulence and weightlessness.
She quickly straightened up and grabbed the handrail beside her.
Just as she was about to put her legs down, which were draped over Yu Huan's thighs, he pulled them inwards.
Yu Huan gently pinched her soft, bouncy thigh, then turned to Li Qianqian behind her and said, "The swing is already running, thank you, Qianqian. You can rest for a while."
"Okay, I'll take a break."
Li Qianqian pushed the back of the chair one last time, immediately took a step back, and took off her woolen hat, slightly out of breath.
Her hair fell down, revealing a medium-length bob.
She casually tucked her messy bangs behind her ears, turned to look at Ji Meng, who was sitting on another swing chair looking down at the camera's LCD screen, and started walking.
Just as she walked around to the space between the two swing chairs, Li Qianqian suddenly stopped and slowly said to Yu Huan, "Brother Huan, I'm a little thirsty, could you—"
As Yu Huan bounced up and down on the swing chair, she noticed a row of small red baskets on the edge of a flower bed not far away. Her gaze fell on an unopened bottle of mineral water in one of the baskets, and she interrupted with a smile, saying, "Take this and drink it."
"Okay, thanks, Brother Huan! I won't drink it directly from the bottle!"
"That's up to you."
With one less force applied, the swing slowed down slightly.
Yu Huan stomped her feet on the ground, turned her head slightly, and said to Lin Yourong, "It's a good thing I didn't wear the shoes you bought me, otherwise they would have worn out a lot."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong smiled gently.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Yu Huan's mind, and he asked, "We can play badminton here, honey, do you have any ideas?"
Just then, Ji Meng's soft voice came from the side: "Yu Huan, you may not know this, but a big-breasted girl like Rongrong has to wear a sports bra when exercising."
Li Qianqian, who was tilting her head back to drink water in front of the flower bed, was instantly choked and choked, spitting out drops of water.
Her eyes widened, her face flushed, and she coughed while wiping the water from the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand.
Although when I hugged Sister You Rong, I could indeed feel that her chest was quite full and well-endowed.
But hearing Ji Meng's words, especially the phrase "big-breasted girl," made her unable to suppress a laugh.
Seeing this, Yu Huan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The swing chair wobbled and rocked.
Lin Yourong immediately lowered her legs, leaned forward, and looked towards Ji Meng.
Her eyebrows furrowed, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she angrily rebuked, "Ji Meng! What nonsense are you spouting!"
“That’s true. In intense sports like badminton, if you don’t wear a sports bra, your chest is at risk of injury.” Ji Meng put down her camera and turned to meet Lin Yourong’s gaze.
With a mocking smile, she raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Hehehe, isn't that right?"
Yu Huan noticed that Lin Yourong's ears were red, so he quickly coughed and said, "Talking about such private topics in broad daylight, Ji Meng, are you deliberately trying to embarrass my wife?"
"Hehe, there are only a few of us here."
Sitting in the shade under the awning, Ji Meng took off her wide-brimmed hat. Having successfully retaliated, she swept away her gloom and continued triumphantly:
"What I'm trying to say is that playing badminton isn't really suitable for Rongrong right now. Let's think of another activity next time."
The swing chair gradually stabilized.
Lin Yourong put both feet on the ground and said irritably, "There's nothing else to do. We'll sit here for a while and then go eat."
