Chapter 504 Who Made You So Good-Looking?
A mischievous little flame was burning brightly in Yu Huan's heart.
He remained impassive, seemingly casually glancing up and observing Lin Yourong's subtle expressions with interest through the rearview mirror.
Her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed like two willow leaves, and her lips were slightly pouted. Her little face was full of anger, and she looked exactly like someone waiting for him to coax her.
Yu Huan knew exactly what was going on, but seeing her enigmatic expression, he pretended not to know, deliberately tilting his head and muttering to himself.
"Are you sure everything's alright? My brain just won't work. Honey, can you give me a hint?"
As he spoke, he scratched his ear and cheek, perfectly portraying a bewildered and helpless expression.
Lin Yourong caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye and almost broke character, her laughter nearly bursting out of her throat.
But then she remembered that she was still pretending to be angry, so she quickly gritted her teeth, tried her best to keep a straight face, and maintained a serious expression.
The BMW sped toward the traffic light, and just as it was about to cross the solid lane line, Yu Huan finally couldn't hold back and burst into a hearty laugh that echoed through the cramped car.
He hurriedly spoke, his voice still tinged with laughter: "Left turn, left turn!"
"Oh."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong's previously serious expression instantly lit up with joy.
With both hands on the steering wheel, she turned it gently without hesitation, and the little BMW smoothly drove into the left-turn lane.
Yu Huan shook her head helplessly, finding it amusing, and couldn't help but ask, "You have to practice singing tomorrow, and the competition is the day after tomorrow. How can you still be thinking about barbecue at a time like this?"
"Just make it mildly spicy, you promised me, don't go back on your word!"
Lin Yourong feigned anger, pouting her lips so much that they looked like they could hold a small oil bottle, which made Yu Huan burst into laughter.
Yu Huan shook her head again, slightly speechless, and teased, "Women, when it comes to details, they are really terrifying. I thought you had forgotten about this by now, being so busy these past two days, that you hadn't even had a moment to breathe. I didn't expect you to still remember it."
"Can't I even indulge myself once in a while?" Lin Yourong stared straight ahead at the road, but slightly craned her neck towards the passenger seat.
Yu Huan found this little face extremely cute.
"Alright, alright, indulge yourself!" Yu Huan coughed slightly, then changed the subject meaningfully, "Wife, I want to indulge myself tonight too..."
As soon as he said that, Lin Yourong immediately fell silent.
The car fell silent instantly, with only the low, steady rumble of the BMW engine providing a rhythm to the subtle atmosphere.
Yu Huan was secretly pleased and couldn't help but turn her head to look at her curiously.
The streetlights swept past the car window one after another, creating a constantly shifting play of light and shadow.
In the flow of light and shadow, Yu Huan clearly noticed that Lin Yourong's earlobe blushed slightly, just like a peach blossom just beginning to bloom on a branch in spring, delicate and charming.
A blush seemed to come alive, spreading slowly from her earlobes outwards, soon reaching her neck and cheeks, adding a touch of allure to her already fair and snow-white skin.
Just as he was about to burst out laughing, Lin Yourong drove her BMW to the intersection where he could turn right.
She suddenly slammed on the brakes, the car paused slightly, and then quickly turned her head to look at the brakes.
Her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, like two round black pearls, and she scolded Yu Huan with a hint of reproach, "What are you looking at!"
Although she deliberately feigned a hint of reproach, her tone was soft and gentle, like willow catkins fluttering in the air, lightly brushing past and tickling Yu Huan's heart.
Yu Huan curled his lips into a mischievous smile.
He leaned closer to Lin Yourong and said with a grin, "I just love looking at my wife. Who told you to be so beautiful? I could look at her for a lifetime and never get enough."
As he spoke, his hand naturally reached out, wanting to gently pinch Lin Yourong's rosy earlobe.
Lin Yourong reacted extremely quickly, nimbly dodging his hand with a sidestep, but her eyes uncontrollably curved into crescents, filled with a gentle smile.
She feigned displeasure, saying with a hint of reproach in her voice, "I'm driving! Don't fool around here!"
After saying that, she slowly pressed the accelerator, and the BMW turned right and drove into the community street.
It's really not appropriate to flirt on the main street.
Yu Huan chuckled, obediently sat back in her seat, stretched her arms behind her head, and said with a relaxed expression, "But if the barbecue restaurant isn't open when we get there, don't blame me."
Lin Yourong snorted lightly, her eyes fixed on the road ahead, not looking to the side, and replied, "Then I'll admit defeat myself, so stop jinxing me."
The little BMW drove slowly down the street.
The street was no longer as bustling and noisy as usual, and it seemed rather deserted.
Before long, they arrived at the Western Regions Barbecue Restaurant.
Their eyes simultaneously turned to the wide-open shop door.
The store was brightly lit, and light streamed through the glass doors onto the street outside.
There weren't many diners, just two or three tables scattered around.
The faint sounds of guests' laughter drifted out, adding a touch of liveliness to the slightly chilly night.
"Not bad luck!" Yu Huan smiled brightly, reached for the mask on the armrest box, and quickly put it on.
As he unbuckled his seatbelt, he continued, "Wait in the car for a bit, I'll go down and buy it."
"Okay~" Lin Yourong replied crisply, her face full of a radiant smile.
She was indeed thinking about the lamb skewers and roasted chicken wings, but she didn't say anything. She wanted to see if Yu Huan had taken her words to heart and test his performance.
She turned the steering wheel with both hands, skillfully turned the BMW around, moved it closer to the curb, and slowly parked it.
Yu Huan pushed open the car door, his feet landing steadily on the ground. His mask covered most of his face, leaving only his bright and spirited eyes visible.
He looked up at the eye-catching sign not far away. Since the mask was somewhat obstructing his breathing, he took a deep breath and felt his mind clear up. Then, he walked briskly toward the Western Regions Barbecue Restaurant.
As soon as he got close, the rich aroma of cumin and roasted meat seeped into his nostrils through the gaps in his mask.
Yu Huan turned her gaze away from the burly man busy in front of the barbecue grill and went straight to the refrigerated display case next to her, picking up a red basket stacked on top.
He pushed open the cabinet door, picked out three skewers of mutton on red willow branches, a chicken wing, and then casually added some vegetables.
After thinking for a moment, he took a skewer of lamb kidneys...
Yu Huan walked up to the burly man with a bushy beard, handed him the basket, and greeted him in a friendly tone: "Brother, could you bake another naan bread?"
The burly man turned around, grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and as he took the basket, he replied in heavily accented Mandarin, "Hey friend, how spicy is your barbecue?" Upon hearing this, Yu Huan couldn't help but chuckle and reminded him not to put chili in it and to pack it up.
A moment later, a middle-aged woman with a Western appearance came out of the store. After checking the amount with her, he took out his wallet from his pocket, counted out three bills, and paid the bill.
When I passed by this Western-style barbecue restaurant before, there were quite a few people working there, including five or six men and women with Western-style faces.
Now only a man and a woman are left running the business; presumably everyone else has gone home for the holidays.
Yu Huan stood at the door, hands on her hips, patiently waiting for fifteen minutes.
After spacing out for a while, I suddenly heard the female boss calling me. I turned around, smiled, took the takeout bag she handed me, thanked her, and drove back to my BMW.
Yu Huan opened the car door, stepped inside first, and leaned forward to sit down.
He steadily carried the takeout bag full of barbecue in one hand. The bag was bulging, and the opening was slightly open, allowing a few wisps of aroma to waft out.
With his other hand, he slowly pulled up the seatbelt, and the metal buckle clicked precisely into place.
Lin Yourong subconsciously pulled her mask down slightly, and the rich aroma of roasted lamb skewers immediately filled her nostrils.
She pursed her lips, parted them slightly, and asked, "Tell me quickly, what delicious food did you order?"
Yu Huan shrugged and joked, "Then we definitely have to arrange for the lamb skewers and grilled chicken wings that someone has been craving. That's the most important thing!"
Lin Yourong's gaze fell on the bulging plastic bag in Yu Huan's hand. Because there was an insulated bag inside, it was very tightly sealed, and she couldn't see what was inside at all.
"I didn't order too much, did I? I just wanted to try a little bit to satisfy my craving."
Yu Huan smiled gently, waved the bag in his hand, and said, "Wife, you can rest assured. Enjoy as much as you like. Any leftovers are all mine. I promise there won't be any waste."
"Okay." Lin Youren couldn't help but release the handbrake and gently pressed the accelerator with his right foot.
Before long, the little BMW nimbly turned into the quiet residential area.
The streetlights cast a soft glow, illuminating the deserted road in a silvery white.
Looking out the window, Yu Huan suddenly had an idea. He turned to Lin Yourong and suggested, "Wife, I think we can wait until we take a shower before having barbecue. Otherwise, we won't want to move after we're full."
Yu Huan's little scheme was racing, knowing full well how slow Lin Yourong was when she took a bath.
Taking a shower alone takes half an hour, followed by skincare and applying a face mask. The whole process can easily take an hour or two.
He didn't want to wait until Lin Yourong finished eating barbecue and taking a shower. He was already so sleepy that his eyelids were drooping, and he collapsed onto the bed and fell fast asleep.
If he were to take a shower before eating barbecue, based on his understanding of Lin Yourong, she definitely wouldn't dawdle like she usually does.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Yu Huan with a half-smile, as if she had seen through his little scheme.
But she chuckled and replied, "Okay, I'll do as you say. Let's take a shower first."
"OK!" Yu Huan happily made an 'OK' gesture.
After parking their BMW in the garage, the young couple, carrying large and small bags of luggage, walked one after the other into the stairwell and began climbing the stairs.
Their footsteps rose and fell, thumping and thumping as they turned on the motion-activated lights, casting a warm, orange glow across the stairwell and illuminating their way home.
Upon reaching the third-floor platform, Yu Huan put down the heavy suitcase in her right hand. The suitcase made a dull thud as it hit the ground.
He then reached into his pocket for his keys.
Lin Yourong stood aside waiting, her gaze inadvertently falling on the bright red Spring Festival couplets on the door frame.
She pursed her lips and said softly, "I haven't been home for several days, I wonder how the potted plants on the terrace are doing."
As Yu Huan turned the key, he smiled and said, "Wife, don't worry about it. It hasn't snowed these past few days, and the weather isn't too cold. Those potted plants are very resilient, so they'll definitely be fine."
With a click, the door opened.
Yu Huan entered the room first, pushed her suitcase to the corner with her feet, and then reached for the light switch on the wall and pressed it gently.
Soft light instantly filled the living room, dispelling the darkness and creating a familiar and warm atmosphere.
The young couple quickly packed their luggage and then went to the terrace together.
Yu Huan bent down and approached the orchids to observe them closely.
Seeing that even the most delicate orchids were unharmed, he straightened up, a relaxed smile on his face, and said, "I'll take a shower first, I'll be fine soon. It doesn't matter if you wait for me or not, go ahead and eat if you want some barbecue."
Lin Yourong nodded slightly in response to his gaze.
Yu Huan always takes a quick and efficient shower, taking only ten minutes from entering the shower room to finishing.
After putting on her pajamas, she went to the sink, bent down to open the cabinet underneath, took out a hair dryer, plugged it in, and the hair dryer instantly started making a "whooshing" sound.
As the hairdryer whirred, Yu Huan combed her hair with her fingers while leaning over to peek towards the living room sofa.
The sofa was empty; Lin Yourong was nowhere to be seen.
The bag containing the barbecue sat in a corner of the coffee table, its opening tightly sealed, showing no signs of having been opened.
Yu Huan withdrew her gaze, turned around, and carefully dried her hair.
Then, he reached out and unplugged the hair dryer. Just as he bent down to put it in the cabinet, he suddenly felt a light tap on his butt.
Yu Huan turned her head and saw Lin Yourong carrying a full load of clothes in one hand, her eyebrows curved and a mischievous smile on her lips. She teased, "Your butt is sticking up so high, it's blocking my way."
"Alright, alright, I'll make way for you, Miss." Yu Huan straightened up and moved closer to the washbasin.
I wanted to tidy her up a bit, but considering she was still holding her clothes, I had to give up.
While waiting for Lin Yourong to take a bath, Yu Huan was not idle. The reason he wanted to take a bath first was because he still had things to do.
As the saying goes, "a promise is a promise," and remembering that he had previously said he would stew rock sugar pears for Lin Yourong, he quickly walked into the kitchen.
Pick out a plump, round pear from the fruit basket, peel it, cut it into pieces, then open the cupboard, take out the casserole and place it on the stove.
Pour an appropriate amount of water into the casserole, put the chopped pear pieces into the pot, and add a few pieces of rock sugar.
He turned on the stove, and blue flames shot up with a "whoosh," the fire raging fiercely.
Soon the water in the pot began to boil, then the heat was turned down to a simmer...
