CIATB Chapter 287 I love you, it's in my heart.
Chapter 287 I love you, it's in my heart.
Chapter 287 I love you, it's in my heart.
Amid Wang Weiwei's protests about wanting to watch the entire episode of the anime, Sister Ru didn't hesitate to grab the remote control from the coffee table and decisively press the power button.
He patted her little head and scolded her playfully, "I've spoiled you. Let's go home and see!"
Wang Weiwei pouted and said with a wronged expression, "But...but Grandpa and Grandma won't let me watch TV..."
Sister Ru picked up her handbag from the corner of the sofa, stood up, stretched, and yawned contentedly before saying, "Mom will let you watch TV, but during winter vacation, you can only watch it until nine o'clock at the latest. After that, you have to go to bed obediently."
"Okay!"
Wang Weiwei happily picked up the cake, her small figure following closely behind Sister Yu Ru as they walked towards the entrance.
Sister Ru squatted down slightly to change into her boots.
Wang Weiwei stood obediently to the side, sticking out her pink tongue like a kitten to lick the cream on the cake.
Yu Huan slumped lazily in the soft sofa, watching this adorable scene, a warm smile involuntarily appearing on her lips.
I suddenly find human babies quite cute—
I want one!
After Lin Yourong came out of the bedroom wearing a gray woolen coat and a fisherman's hat, he stood up leisurely.
I quickly changed into my sneakers at the door; the whole process was swift and smooth, taking no more than ten seconds.
Lin Yourong carried a small cloth bag in her hand, and her slim-fit jeans accentuated her long, beautiful legs as she walked lightly towards them.
She opened the bag, smiled, and showed it to Sister Ru, saying, "When I was traveling in Jingdezhen with Yu Huan, I bought some trinkets while browsing the stalls. Sister Ru, you can pick a couple."
"Ok?"
After glancing at it, Sister Ru let go of Wang Weiwei's small hand, hooked her arm around the handbag, and took the cloth bag to examine it carefully.
Yu Huan put her hands on her hips and continued the conversation, saying, "They're all small ceramic ornaments."
Sister Ru casually picked one out, and under the light, it looked particularly smooth and lustrous, with the silver-like fish-shaped pendant gleaming softly.
She picked it up and examined it carefully, saying, "A beaded necklace? It's quite pretty, very ethnic!"
"Mom! I want it!"
Wang Weiwei held the cake steadily in one hand and put the electronic pet machine in her pocket with the other, then raised her little hand high and grabbed it.
"Okay, little one, here you go first." Sister Ru smiled and bent down, gently hanging the pendant around Wang Weiwei's neck.
Wang Weiwei immediately lowered her head with undisguised joy, her little hands happily playing with the fish-shaped pendant.
Lin Yourong reminded her, "Sister Ru, there are also bracelets inside, take a look."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!" Sister Ru said happily, lowering her head.
Lin Yourong said with a smile, "Pick whatever you like, they're all just cheap trinkets."
Sister Ru replied with a smile, "Then I have to be even more careful. I can't let you down when you're out traveling and buying souvenirs, and you still think of me as a part of it."
Lin Yourong nodded slightly, rolled up her sleeves, and showed her the white porcelain bead bracelet on her wrist, saying, "I'm wearing the white one."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan also rolled up her sleeves, revealing a dark, shiny bracelet, and chimed in, "A couple's set!"
Sister Ru looked around and clicked her tongue, saying, "Aren't you two being a little too overdoing it with your displays of affection?"
Yu Huan chuckled: "Sister Ru, it really wasn't intentional. It just so happens that you guys were chatting about this, and since we're wearing matching couple outfits, I couldn't help but want to show them off."
Lin Yourong pursed her lips tightly, suppressing a laugh as she glanced at Yu Huan, and asked softly, "Do you have a mask with you when you go out?"
"No." Yu Huan shook her head.
Lin Yourong took out two black cotton masks from the pocket of her wool coat and handed one to Yu Huan.
Sister Ru picked out a sky-blue bracelet and put it on her wrist, then handed the cloth bag to Lin Yourong.
After putting on her mask at a leisurely pace, Lin Yourong took the cloth bag and tossed it lightly onto the sofa before changing her shoes and going out.
Not long after.
The continuous sound of footsteps echoed through the corridor, illuminating the motion-activated lights one by one from top to bottom.
Yu Huan carried Wang Weiwei in his arms with one hand and walked at the front, striding downstairs.
The little one held the cake plate in both hands, with food and toys in hand, and appeared very quiet.
Upon reaching the first floor, Yu Huan crouched down and placed her on the ground. Wang Weiwei immediately turned around and looked for her mother with light, half-running, half-hopping steps.
The motion-activated lights cast a dim yellow glow in the hallway. As Sister Ru stepped down the stairs, she saw Wang Weiwei's beaming face and was extremely happy.
She said half-jokingly, "Little one, since you like Uncle so much, why don't you stay at their house and play? Mommy will go home first and come pick you up tomorrow, okay?"
Wang Weiwei shook her head firmly: "No." After a moment's thought, she added: "We'll come back to play with Uncle and Auntie again tomorrow!"
Sister Ru took Wang Weiwei's little hand and decisively stated the harsh truth: "Your uncle and aunt have their own things to do tomorrow, they don't have time to play with you, little one!"
"what……"
Wang Weiwei pouted, her face full of sullen displeasure.
Yu Huan couldn't help but chuckle as she walked to the garage, squatted down, and opened the door.
Only after getting into the car, under Sister Ru's instructions, did Wang Weiwei wave to Yu Huan and Lin Yourong outside. Her crisp voice came out of the car window, but it had weakened by seven-tenths.
However, the couple could still vaguely hear: "Goodbye, Uncle Huanhuan, Aunt Susu!"
"Goodbye!" the couple waved in unison.
The voice just fell.
Yu Huan looked down at Sister Ru's profile in the driver's seat and said with concern, "Sister Ru, drive carefully on the road!"
Hearing this, Sister Ru smiled and nodded: "Okay, see you later, Boss Brother—Susu!"
After watching the car's bright red headlights disappear into the distance, Yu Huan turned around, pulled down the roller shutter, and asked Lin Yourong, who was waiting nearby, "Shall we ride the electric bike or walk?"
Lin Yourong's soft voice came through the mask: "I'm fine with anything."
After a moment's thought, Yu Huan said, "How about we ride an electric bike? We can buy some pothos plants and activated charcoal while we're at it, and put them in the karaoke room."
"I'll listen to you," Lin Yourong replied.
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan turned around and walked to the side of the garage door, sat on the electric scooter parked under the eaves, put on his helmet, inserted the key, and started the engine.
Back up to the curb.
Turning his head, he saw Lin Yourong lift her long legs and easily straddle him from behind. Without thinking, she slipped her hands into his coat pockets and tightly hugged his waist.
Yu Huan smiled gently and said, "Please wear your hat tighter, so it doesn't blow off later."
"Oh~"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong pulled her left hand out, hid it in her sleeve, and pressed down hard on the fisherman's hat on her head.
"Let's go!"
Before Yu Huan could finish speaking, he twisted the accelerator and suddenly braked to slow down as the road turned ahead.
Caught off guard, Lin Yourong was pulled by inertia and ended up lying flat on his back.
Even with layers upon layers of protection, Yu Huan actively heightened his five senses to the extreme.
I keenly sensed the process of the hemispherical shape being squeezed into a flattened sphere—
Lin Yourong's delicate face flushed crimson beneath her mask.
She reached into his pocket, pinched his belly and twisted it repeatedly, and said reproachfully, "Slow down, it's such a short distance, don't keep braking every few steps!"
Yu Huan chuckled mischievously, her lips moving beneath her mask, as if to say, "What do you mean by asking Sister Ru to bring me deer antler powder from Shanghai? Hmm!?"
"Well……"
Lin Yourong buried her head behind him to avoid the cold wind, and decisively chose to change the subject:
"Why do I have this feeling that you don't like driving cars?"
Yu Huan shrugged and didn't tease her any further. She continued, "It's such a short distance, I'm too lazy to find a parking spot."
"Oh……"
Lin Yourong huddled behind him.
Gently press your right shoulder against his back, ensuring he won't have a second chance to do something bad!
A cold wind howled, weaving through the buildings and alleyways, while streetlights cast a dim yellow glow, illuminating the empty streets.
After leaving the residential area, I walked to the right along the sidewalk. There were only a few pedestrians along the way, and occasionally a few people hurried by, all of whom were wrapped up tightly.
The electric scooter traveled at a leisurely pace, and in the blink of an eye, a brightly lit large shopping mall appeared before the two of them.
A group of middle-aged women were dancing in the square despite the cold wind. Dressed in thin, brightly colored clothes, they danced joyfully to the rhythm of Phoenix Legend's "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style," adding a lively touch to the cold night.
Even though the temperature hasn't dropped below zero, the south is experiencing a damp and cold spell—
A terrifying old lady.
Yu Huan parked the electric scooter on one side of the gate. After Lin Yourong got off the scooter gracefully, he put down the kickstand, took off his helmet, and locked it.
Lin Yourong stepped forward and hugged Yu Huan's left arm, jumping up and down a few times: "It's so cold! It feels like it's going to snow!"
Yu Huan raised her right hand, pinched the brim of Lin Yourong's hat, and straightened it, saying, "I've checked the weather forecast; it won't snow this winter."
“It seems like it snowed in Xingcheng around this time last year!” Yu Huan said knowingly as he led Lin Yourong into the mall, “With global warming, Xingcheng will probably see very little heavy snow in the future.”
A warm breeze blew in, causing Lin Yourong to raise the brim of her hat a little higher.
Feeling the warmth brushing against her forehead, she said contentedly, "If it doesn't snow during the Spring Festival, it won't feel as festive as it used to be!"
Yu Huan laughed and said, "It's like eating instant noodles without the seasoning packet, right?"
“Indeed!” Lin Yourong and Yu Huan interlocked their fingers.
The first floor of the mall, apart from the supermarket, mainly features jewelry, clothing and shoes near the entrance.
The couple walked side by side.
Lin Yourong lowered her head slightly and glanced at the pair of unidentified sneakers on Yu Huan's feet.
The black leather shoes had a slightly grayish tinge, not dirty, but you could tell at a glance that they were a bit old.
Thinking of how her closet was crammed full of her own shoes, while Yu Huan barely had any, she couldn't help but ask, "Honey, why don't we buy a pair of shoes first?"
Yu Huan turned his head away, glanced at Lin Yourong who was tilting her head and looking at him, and then looked at the foreign trade women's shoe store on the side.
He nodded slightly and replied, "Okay."
Without thinking, he led her that way.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yourong suddenly grabbed him and led him to the other side of the Anta store, saying, "I bought it for you!"
"Buy it for me?" Yu Huan's lips couldn't help but curl up. He raised his hand, which was clasped with Lin Yourong's, and patted her soft hand, saying, "Thank you, wife! My wife is so good!"
Lin Yourong snorted: "Glib-tongued."
Yu Huan laughed and said, "I call it, 'Love is in my heart and it blossoms in my mouth!'"
Lin Yourong spat at him through her mask: "Pah! It's clearly true, I love you but I can't say it!"
Several pedestrians were coming and going around.
Despite being a socialite, Yu Huan nonchalantly let out a howl: "Aww yeah~ I love you so much it's in my heart—"
As soon as Lin Yourong stepped into the store, she quickly covered Yu Huan's mouth with her hand: "Stop singing, it sounds awful!"
Yu Huan stammered a few words but couldn't get a sound out, so he had to give up.
He followed Lin Yourong's steps, turning his head to look around.
The price tags on the shoes are mostly over 100 yuan, with a small portion costing only 80 or 90 yuan.
These days, the three giants of Jinjiang—Anta, Xtep, and 361—are synonymous with being both unsophisticated and low-class.
In the post-Olympic era, sports brands, facing years of inventory backlog, are striving to transform their businesses.
Although the price is cheap, it is definitely not a fake product, so there is no need to worry about quality issues.
The shop wasn't big. Lin Yourong glanced around a few times, then grabbed Yu Huan's hand and turned to leave: "Never mind, I'll pick out a pair of shoes for you at Wangfujing next time."
See this.
Yu Huan grabbed her arm, pointed to a pair of black and white sneakers in size 128 on the display shelf, and said with a smile, "These are quite nice, I want to try them on."
"Well……"
Lin Yourong looked in the direction Yu Huan pointed, and tugged at Yu Huan's hand, only to see him standing there motionless.
Feeling unable to refuse him, I nodded slightly in agreement:
"Okay~"
There was only one female shop assistant in the store, who looked to be in her early thirties.
Seeing that the two had a clear goal and weren't just there for a quick look, he quickly stepped forward and said with a forced smile, "Handsome, want to give it a try?"
Yu Huan turned to look at the saleswoman with a formulaic smile and asked warmly, "Yes, do you have size 43 shoes?"
"Wait a minute, let me look!"
"Okay." Yu Huan nodded.
Glancing at the leather bench beside him, adhering to the principle of never standing if he could sit, he had just sat down and was about to pull Lin Yourong down when his phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated, ringing with a video call.
Because he was holding Lin Yourong's hand with one hand, Yu Huan could only awkwardly reach into his right pocket with his left hand.
He took out his phone, entered the password with his left hand to unlock it, and found that it was a video call from Yu Chengcheng.
Then click to connect.
After a slight pause, what appeared on the screen was Yu Songnian's big-eared, fat head.
"Hi~ Good evening, Brother Huan~" Yu Songnian said with great enthusiasm, his little expression was incredibly smug.
Yu Huan rolled her eyes and said to the front-facing camera, "Spit it out if you have something to say!"
Yu Songnian's eyes darted around slightly, as if he were looking you over, and he asked, "Are you outside?"
Yu Huan felt Lin Yourong release her right hand. Turning her head, she saw Lin Yourong taking the shoe box from the female shop assistant with both hands.
A smile played on his lips beneath his mask as he looked away from his phone screen and said, "I'm out shopping with your sister-in-law."
Suddenly, Yu Chengcheng's voice came through the speaker: "Brother Huan, Yu Songnian and I are coming to your door tomorrow!"
"can."
Yu Huan paused, then suddenly said:
"Songnian, if you're free tomorrow, could you help me paint the ceiling with latex paint? I painted it last night, and since the temperature has been low these past few days, it should be almost dry by tomorrow."
Yu Songnian turned the screen to reveal half of Yu Chengcheng's face, and upon hearing the voice, he made an 'OK' gesture: "No problem!"
Yu Huan's lips twitched, and she was about to speak when she felt a lightness in her left foot.
Looking down, he saw that Lin Yourong was squatting on the ground, lifting his ankle with one hand and preparing to take off his shoes with the other.
What does this mean?
He's not a three-year-old!
It's a bit much to expect her to serve you just for trying on shoes.
He quickly bent down, grabbed the shoe with one hand, and deftly took off the shoe.
Yu Songnian suddenly said urgently, "Speaking of which, where is my sister-in-law? Let us see her quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan felt that Yu Chengcheng was being a little too tight-lipped.
Turning around, she looked at Yu Songnian through the phone screen and said with a smile, "What's the rush? You'll see it tomorrow, won't you?"
Without hesitation, Yu Songnian retorted, "Can't we get to know each other beforehand?"
"Fine……"
Yu Huan tapped the camera to flip it, looking at Lin Yourong while pointing the rear camera at her.
But then he saw Lin Yourong squatting at his feet, taking out paper shoe trees from the shoes in her hand.
The phone speaker immediately crackled with Yu Chengcheng's exclamation: "Wow~ You have a high status in the family~"
“Uh—” Yu Huan quickly said, “We’re buying shoes. I wouldn’t dare to claim any family status in front of your sister-in-law. I don’t have any of these either.”
Yu Chengcheng immediately burst into laughter, like a goose honking.
Lin Yourong raised her head, and her almond-shaped eyes, visible between the brim of her hat and her mask, glared at him.
How can you talk like that?
They portrayed her as a tigress!
After untying the shoelaces, he roughly slipped them onto Yu Huan's feet.
Yu Songnian immediately raised his thick eyebrows, but before he could speak, Yu Chengcheng's voice came from off-screen: "Brother Huan, you still say you have no status in the family!"
He clearly saw Lin Yourong putting shoes on him.
Seeing this, Yu Huan quickly switched back to the front camera. Suddenly, he felt Lin Yourong pinching his ankle. He hurriedly said, "Chengzi, don't make a fuss. This isn't about family status. It's about mutual care and love between husband and wife."
"Okay, stand up and take a look." Lin Yourong said in a rough voice.
"As you command! Madam!"
Yu Huan hurriedly got up, nodded, and looked down at her phone screen, saying:
"I'll stop talking now, Orange. I'll give you your sister-in-law's phone number when we get back. She can come anytime tomorrow. She loves tangerines, so please don't bring anything with you. She loves tangerines, so bringing anything would be too formal!"
Yu Songnian caught the key points he emphasized twice in his words, and nodded solemnly: "I understand. The first thing I'll do when I get up tomorrow morning is to strip the tangerine trees in the house bare, and carry them to the door instead of carrying them."
"It's not necessary to carry it all the way to the door, ten or so pounds will do." Yu Huan lightly stomped her left leg, feeling that it was just right.
Yu Songnian chuckled and said, "Okay, Huan-ge, I'll hang up now. You and your wife have fun outside."
“Okay.” Yu Huan nodded slightly.
He put his phone back in his pocket, looked at Lin Yourong who was taking three steps back to examine his shoes, and said, "The size is just right, let's buy these."
"Why don't you try on the right shoe?" Lin Yourong asked.
Yu Huan laughed and said, "My left foot is a little bigger than my right foot, so I'll just try on the left shoe."
“Oh, okay~” Lin Yourong replied.
