Chapter 169 A man's mouth is a liar's mouth!
Yu Huan noticed Xu Hui's disappointment, so he reached out and patted Xu Hui's shoulder, comforting him:
"Next year, you should focus on improving your skills. 'A minute on stage requires ten years of practice.' Prioritize improving your abilities. You need to not only master the preparation of crayfish, but also learn some classic Hunan dishes and develop unique characteristics in each. Only then can you be competitive in Changsha's catering industry. Think about it carefully."
In his previous life, Xu Hui, in his full form, was definitely a top talent in the catering industry, single-handedly supporting a restaurant with his skills.
This man has obsessive-compulsive disorder. The villagers who help him cook complain that he is not only demanding when cutting side dishes, but he also specifies how many scallions to sprinkle on the soup.
In the years before her rebirth, with the rampant promotion of short videos and Xiaohongshu, Yu Huan rarely dared to invite Xu Hui to her place, because there was always a long queue.
After listening to Yu Huan's words, Xu Hui nodded: "I understand, Brother Huan."
Although his face still carried a hint of melancholy, his eyes had begun to burn with a fierce flame called ambition.
“This shop is just a small test. When I invest in opening a restaurant in the future, I’ll leave the kitchen to you. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to show your skills.” Yu Huan continued to use his PUA techniques and patted his shoulder heavily again.
After gulping down the flatbread, Xu Hui's expression finally softened, and he became noticeably more invigorated.
After a moment's thought, he suddenly had a brilliant idea and said, "Brother Huan, you've struck it rich!"
"Hmph!" Yu Huan waved his hand dismissively, "Didn't I tell you? It's being held on behalf of someone else."
Xu Hui already had a guess in his mind: "Brother Huan, is it your girlfriend?"
"Yes." Yu Huan nodded, readily admitting it.
At that moment, a taxi with a green light indicating it was available drove up, and Yu Huan quickly waved it down and opened the door.
He turned to Xu Hui, who was following closely behind, and said, "I'll contact you again tomorrow. I have something urgent to take care of right now. You'll have to take a taxi home yourself."
Xu Hui touched his forehead and replied, "Okay."
He watched Yu Huan hurriedly get into the taxi, and couldn't help but think: Huan-ge is really a busy man!
When the restaurant was preparing to open, Huan Ge's words still resonate today: "Don't contact me if there's nothing wrong, and if there is something wrong, try not to contact me either..."
"Handsome, where are you going?" The middle-aged taxi driver casually flicked his cigarette butt out the window and then rolled up the window.
As Yu Huan fastened his seatbelt, he said without hesitation, "Broadcasting Center!"
He picked up his phone and saw that after powering it on, the screen had already entered the unlock interface.
Swipe the screen to unlock the pattern lock and you'll immediately see two missed call notifications, both from a contact whose contact is named 'Wife'.
One was at nine o'clock, and the other at ten o'clock; both were exact, indicating they were called right on time.
Done!
He was already giving a statement and had turned off his phone, so he didn't notice the incoming calls at all.
Just as Yu Huan was about to call back, she suddenly received a WeChat message from Lin Yourong.
He hurriedly clicked to view, and a long string of messages appeared on the screen:
8:51 pm
'Are you done with your work?'
I'm hungry, let's eat together.
9:01 pm
'? '
"Aren't you done yet? What are you busy with?"
9:32 pm
"There's a girl next to you wearing a brown mask. The two of you are holding up light sticks, one saying 'Fly Freely,' and the other 'Forever Together.' They seem to be a couple."
Why don't you reply to my messages or answer my calls?
10:02 pm
It's 10 o'clock, I need to get ready for bed, I have things to do early tomorrow morning.
11:00 pm
'What are you doing?! I haven't eaten anything, I'm so hungry, I can't sleep at all, can you reply to me?'
From 8:50 until now at 11:00.
When Yu Huan saw these messages, her heart skipped a beat. She realized that she might have been negligent. Adhering to the idea of only reporting good news and not bad news, she hadn't informed her before turning off her phone, which led to a rather serious situation.
He was about to explain in the message input box when suddenly his wife called.
Yu Huan answered the phone hastily, and as soon as she put it to her ear, she heard Lin Yourong's voice, trembling with tears and anxiety:
"Waaaah, where have you been?! You haven't answered the phone, I was so worried, I thought something had happened to you!"
Yu Huan's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but swallow: "I'm alright!"
He had never experienced anything like this in either of his two lifetimes.
My wife cried and was very upset because of a misunderstanding. What should I do?
Wait online.
Very urgent!
Ru Jie's voice could be faintly heard from the other end of the phone: "Oh dear, Su Su, why are you crying again? Didn't we agree before that we wouldn't talk to this jerk anymore?"
Lin Yourong sobbed, feeling wronged: "How should I know? I just tried calling him, and he answered immediately."
He overheard two women gossiping about him.
Lin Yourong was very angry, and the consequences were severe.
Yu Huan hurriedly said, "No, Rongrong, let me explain."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yourong burst into even more heartbroken sobs: "Since you're alright and not answering my calls, you must be out having fun with that girl next to you!"
"Listen to me first, okay?" Yu Huan took a deep breath.
"I won't listen!"
Just then, Sister Ru's voice faintly came again: "Hey, you should listen to him say a few words."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong sniffed, her voice trembling slightly: "Then you tell me."
Yu Huan explained earnestly:
“The demolition notice for the shop I bought has been issued, and then some people caused trouble and beat up my cousin Yu Songnian. He suffered a head injury and is still in the hospital. I am also a party involved, and I have to give two rounds of statements. My phone was turned off during the process. I just came out of the Public Security Bureau and was about to contact you when you called me.”
"Really?" Lin Yourong's sobs subsided slightly.
"Why would I lie to you!" Yu Huan said helplessly.
While crying, Lin Yourong pressed on, "Then who is that person next to you holding the sign that says 'Saplings will always be with you'?"
"She's my colleague! She's the one who helped me infiltrate your fan club. The light sticks are all hers; she just lent them to me for a bit."
At this point, Yu Huan truly felt a little wronged:
"When I left early, she stayed there to take a group photo with the fan club. If you don't believe me, go check the fan group! She was even the temporary group leader, leading people back to the city. I have witnesses and physical evidence!"
Lin Yourong's crying stopped abruptly. She asked suspiciously, "Which fan group?" Yu Huan answered without hesitation, "Su Su's Xingcheng Little Saplings!"
Lin Yourong's sniffling voice came from the other end of the phone, tinged with a hint of doubt: "Don't lie to me, Sister Ru is also in the fan group."
"Tell me now, where do you live?" Yu Huan's voice revealed deep exhaustion; he was truly tired.
After a few words.
Perhaps realizing she was being unreasonable, Lin Yourong weakly said, "But I have to get up at six o'clock tomorrow..."
Yu Huan sighed: "Can you sleep now? I'll buy you whatever you want to eat on the way. After you eat, get some rest."
"Oh..." Lin Yourong responded softly, "I'm at the Fiesta Hotel, I want to eat braised beef with rice noodles..."
This is a villa-style manor hotel, adjacent to Hunan TV. Celebrities who come to Changsha to record programs usually stay here.
Yu Huan, who knew everything about this, pressed on impatiently, "Which building?"
"Susu, it's so late. You still have to get up early to do your makeup and hair. Just eat some bread, okay?" Sister Ru subtly advised from the side.
However, Lin Yourong sniffed, and her voice, coming through the receiver, reached Yu Huan's ears: "I'll wait for you at the door~"
Yu Huan hummed in agreement and then said, "Then I'll hang up first and run to your place."
"Oh~"
Yu Huan put away his phone and turned to see the taxi driver holding the steering wheel, but glancing at him from time to time, seemingly full of curiosity.
He immediately gave a formulaic smile: "Master, when we pass Sifangping later, please slow down a bit, I need to find a noodle shop."
"Handsome, no problem," the driver asked curiously, "Are you a celebrity?"
Yu Huan calmly said, "I'm not, my wife is."
The driver's eyes widened immediately: "Which celebrity is your wife?"
"Yang Mi," Yu Huan uttered the two words without changing his expression.
Upon hearing this, the driver immediately switched to Changsha dialect: "Handsome guy, you're kidding me."
Yu Huan smiled calmly, looked out the window and said, "You're just teasing me by asking if I'm a celebrity. I wish I were a real celebrity."
"That's right, celebrities make money faster than they can pick it up," the driver joked.
The two chatted for a few more minutes before the taxi sped along the dimly lit streets.
Yu Huan's gaze wandered back and forth among the rows of shops on both sides of the street. Suddenly, he saw a brightly lit noodle shop on the passenger side and hurriedly asked the driver to stop the car.
He immediately got off the bus and bought a large bowl of braised beef rice noodles with extra portions.
He figured that female celebrities probably couldn't eat much in the middle of the night, so one bowl between the two of them would be enough.
A short while later, the taxi arrived near the main building of the Fiesta Hotel. Yu Huan glanced at her phone; it was 11:26.
There is a toll booth and a rising barrier at the hotel entrance, so you have to walk in.
After paying the fare, Yu Huan quickly got out of the car, carefully carrying the braised beef noodles, and jogged forward.
Suddenly.
He saw a figure wearing a fisherman's hat walking briskly under the dim streetlights in the distance, his long legs in pajama bottoms moving as fast as wheels of fire.
When they look at each other from a distance.
The figure suddenly sped up and started running, with agile strides and the aura of a sprint champion.
Yu Huan's assessment was: This girl's skills are nowhere near as gentle as her heart; she doesn't even need to rub her belly when she's on her period. At 1.7 meters tall, wearing pointed high heels, she could probably kick someone to death.
Because he was carrying a bowl of beef noodles with soup in his hand, he could only quicken his pace slightly.
The two went their separate ways.
Three steps away.
Lin Yourong, wearing a padded jacket over her pajamas, opened her arms.
Upon seeing this, Yu Huan hurriedly raised the arm holding the beef noodles to avoid spilling them.
She fledged like a swallow returning to the forest.
It was thrown into my arms.
He hugged Yu Huan tightly around the waist.
Yu Huan patted her back with one hand, a smile playing on his lips: "Jealous jerk, long time no see."
Lin Yourong didn't immediately refute, burying her head, covered by a fisherman's hat, in Yu Huan's neck: "It hasn't been that long, only six and a half days..."
talking.
Through several layers of clothing, she pinched Yu Huan's waist: "Also, don't call me a jealous person!"
"Then why did you save my contact as a debt collector?!"
Yu Huan chuckled and suddenly joked:
"And another thing, you're a female celebrity, look at all those crazy fans at the airport, I don't know how many men and women are eyeing you. We can't see each other for so many days at a time, shouldn't I be the one feeling insecure?"
late at night.
The quiet, secluded interior of the hotel.
"because--"
The warrior of pure love slowly released his embrace, and through the brim of his hat and mask, his clear and captivating eyes, like pools of autumn water, gazed at Yu Huan's face.
She said:
"I'm certain I'll stay true to myself forever."
Yu Huan was completely unprepared for this answer. Her lips twitched, but her mind went blank.
I subconsciously said, "Me too."
It is clearly not convincing enough.
"Hmph! A man's words are deceitful!" Lin Yourong grabbed the handle of the plastic bag of beef noodles from Yu Huan's hand.
