Bare Feet

“How many years have it been since the feudal society was overthrown, where did the emperor come from? Have you watched too many brain-dead online dramas?”

“The person who was in class with me said he is called Emperor [皇上 (huáng shàng)].”

“Maybe his name is Huang Shang [皇上 (huáng shàng)], it should be Huang from the character yellow color [黃色 (huángsè)], as for which Shang [上 (shàng)], I don’t know, you can ask later.”

“Oh, okay.” It turned out to be his misunderstanding, a false alarm.

There is no emperor in their country.

Shan Qihuan also suspected that Shen Yuhan was teasing him.

After entering the restaurant, Shen Yuhan’s attention was diverted and he came out of his wilted state.

Unexpectedly, even the restaurant is decorated magnificently1富麗堂皇 (fù lì táng huáng): (of houses etc) sumptuous (idiom); (of buildings) beautiful and majestic; beautiful and imposing., if there is an emperor, people will definitely not be allowed to use bright yellow, which is reserved for the royal family, if they violate the rules, they may be charged with ‘disrespect’ or ‘treason’ immediately.

Shan Qihuan took the initiative to ask him what he wanted to eat, Shen Yuhan said that he could just order it, he couldn’t figure out what to order after looking at the menu.

This is a Cantonese restaurant with a relatively light taste, and they only order dim sum2點心 (diǎn xin): light refreshments; pastry; dim sum (in Cantonese cooking); dessert. Dim Sum.

It was the first time Shen Yuhan had eaten the soft changfen3腸粉 (cháng fěn): rice noodle roll, a roll made from sheets of rice flour dough, steamed and stuffed with meat, vegetables, etc; cheong fun (rice noodle rolls). Changfen, it was quite delicious.

Perhaps Shen Yuhan’s body was in a terrible state before, and had only recovered a little recently, his appetite was not very good and he was full after eating some dim sum and a bowl of congee4粥 (zhōu): Congee is a form of savoury rice porridge made by boiling rice in a large amount of water until the rice softens. Depending on rice-water ratio, the thickness of congee varies from a Western oatmeal porridge to a gruel. Since the history of rice cultivation in Asia stretches back to the Baiyue-inhabited lower Yangtze circa 10000 BC, congee is unlikely to have appeared before that date. Congee is typically served with side dishes, or it can be topped with meat, fish and pickled vegetables. Congee and side dishes.

Shan Qihuan glanced at him and felt that he had eaten a little less: “Eating so little? Even the little birds eat more than you.”

“But the birds eat bugs.” Shen Yuhan replied seriously.

Shan Qihuan’s breath stagnated: “I’m just using an analogy to describe how little you eat.” There is no sense of humor at all.

He placed a shrimp dumpling5蝦餃 (xiā jiǎo): har gow (traditional Cantonese shrimp dumpling). Shrimp Dumpling on Shen Yuhan’s small plate: “Have another one.”

He always eats only eight points full, Shen Yuhan thought that he could still eat one more, his husband already give it to him.

Shen Yuhan was in a very good mood: “Thank you, Husband.” He picked it up and ate it.

After finishing one piece, Shen Yuhan had another piece of fragrant and soft taro cake6芋頭糕 (yù tou gāo): taro cake (a common southern Chinese dish), made from the vegetable taro. Taro Cake in his bowl.

Shan Qihuan found the joy of feeding: “Eat it.”

Shen Yuhan felt quite full after eating one shrimp dumpling: “But I’m full.”

Shan Qihuan coaxed him with a gentle tone that he didn’t even know he had: “Eat one more.”

“Okay, just one then.” Shen Yuhan obediently finished eating.

After coming out of the restaurant, Shan Qihuan remembered that he had left the mobile phone he wanted to give to Shen Yuhan at his office.

“Let’s go to my office first, your afternoon class doesn’t start until two o’clock anyway.”

Go to husband’s office?

He remembered that his mother had never been to the yamen7衙門 (yá men): Yamen, the administrative office or residence of a local bureaucrat or mandarin in imperial China, Korea, and Vietnam. A yamen can also be any governmental office or body headed by a mandarin, at any level of government: the offices of one of the Six Ministries is a yamen, but so is a prefectural magistracy. The term has been widely used in China for centuries, but appeared in English during the Qing dynasty. where his father worked, he was the first one in their family who could go to the husband’s office.

Inexplicably a little happy, does it mean that his husband actually didn’t hate him very much, but when he thinks about the wedding night, he is inexplicably felt a little depressed, it was quite difficult to win his husband’s heart, first of all, he had to make the other party not hate himself.

The driver dropped them off at the company’s downstairs, Shan Qihuan took Shen Yuhan to the top floor by the elevator.

In the commercial district where land is at a premium, Shan Qihuan’s company occupies a building, and has nearly 4,000 employees, all in one building.

The security measures downstairs are very strict, and everyone has a unique employee card.

Shen Yuhan carefully8小心翼翼 (xiǎo xīn yì yì): cautious and solemn (idiom); very carefully; gently and cautiously; cautious; prudent; wary; with great care; cautiously; This meant serious and respectful; Now it is described as being cautious and not daring to neglect. observed the way others entered and exited, curious that even a brush of a card could open the door.

Ever since Shan Qihuan noticed Shen Yuhan’s small appetite, he would subconsciously notice his behavior and suddenly said in a considerate way: “I will ask the assistant to give you an access card later, after class in the morning, you can go to the company for lunch at noon.”

It’s employee break time now, and there were still quite a few employees coming in and out.

With his signature face, Shan Qihuan stands out everywhere, and the security guards don’t dare to stop him.

After leading Shen Yuhan into the elevator, he subconsciously protected him from other employees.

The employees who were riding in the same elevator as the big boss were ecstatic9欣喜若狂 (xīn xǐ ruò kuáng): to be wild with joy (idiom); ecstatic; over the moon; overjoyed; be beside oneself with joy. on one hand, but at the same time, they had to keep quiet and didn’t dare to speak.

Who is the young man next to the boss?

Looks more beautiful than any celebrity, he can make his debut in a matter of minutes just by his face value.

After they all went down, Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan arrived at the office on the highest floor.

In fact, although it is the highest level, there are also many employees working here, which is an important department related to the company’s strategic decision-making.

Shan Qihuan’s office is on the innermost part, with the best view and privacy.

It turns out that this is his husband’s office.

Shen Yuhan didn’t directly sit down on Shan Qihuan’s leather sofa, but walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to look down.

He took a look, took a step back and came back.

It’s so high, it makes people feel a little panicked.

Shan Qihuan took out the box containing the mobile phone: “Come here, get your mobile phone and the mobile phone card.”

He originally wanted to buy him a mobile phone for the elderly, but later gave up the idea, and bought a mobile phone with the same brand as him, and the model was a generation higher than him.

Shen Yuhan slowly opened the exquisite packaging, and looked at the mobile phone, cables, plugs, and so on inside the white box, there is a serious problem, he doesn’t know how to solve it, the instructions are all in foreign languages, ​​and he doesn’t understand them all.

He carried the box and mobile phone card to Shan Qihuan and said: “Husband, help me.”

Is the word ‘Husband’ so easy to use?

Sometimes, ‘Husband’ is so easy to use.

“Can’t you do it yourself? How hard can it be?” He said, but his hands were already cutting out the phone cards.

“I want you to do it for me.” Shen Yuhan thought it would be okay to show weakness in front of his husband.

Shan Qihuan just assumed that he had never used this phone before.

“I really owed you in my last life, I have to help you with everything.” He knew how to be coquettish, it’s also unknown if he had ever acted so coquettishly to Shan Qiyun before.

“You didn’t owe me anything in your previous life.” Shen Yuhan responded to Shan Qihuan very seriously, and tried to recall whether he had seen a man who looked exactly like Shan Qihuan before, it seemed that he had not, “I have never seen you in my previous life, there is no one I know who is better looking than you.”

Shan Qihuan was pleased by Shen Yuhan’s words, but he couldn’t admit it: “So, you still have memories of your previous life.”

“How did you know?” Shen Yuhan had surprise written on his face, thinking that he had been discovered, he pinched his fingers and asked Shan Qihuan nervously, “You, how did you see it?”

“Didn’t you say that yourself?” Shan Qihuan said as he inserted the phone card into the phone, and then activated the mobile phone system according to the mobile phone prompts.

“I’m just talking nonsense.” Another false alarm, but his husband didn’t notice it at all.

He sighed softly and stepped forward to see how Shan Qihuan operated the phone, so he could learn from it himself.

The process of activating the mobile phone is not difficult, it just requires some operations, during the process, Shen Yuhan’s face needs to be scanned, he happens to be nearby, so Shan Qihuan just puts it in front of him and scans it.

In addition to scanning his face, he also needs to set up a password and an account.

“You can enter your email account yourself.”

Shen Yuhan was confused by the statement, what is a fuel tank account number10T/N: So, the pronunciation for email account number is 郵箱帳號 (yóu xiāng zhàng hào), while fuel tank account number is 油箱帳號 (yóu xiāng zhàng hào), they have the same pronunciation (the same pinyin/romanization and shengdiao/tone), that’s why Shen Yuhan was confused. And that’s why Chinese language is difficult 🙃.?

But fortunately, he responded quickly: “Since Husband bought me a mobile phone, why don’t I use yours?”

Shan Qihuan looked at him suspiciously, trying to monitor him with his email? Might as well use it to beat him on his own game11將計就計 (jiāng jì jiù jì): to beat sb at their own game (idiom); to turn somebody’s trick against him; outwit sb with his own trick.!

“Okay, I’ll set my account and password, remember it yourself.” Shan Qihuan thought in his heart, with his own account and password, he can connect to the computer or IPAD at any time, and share Shen Yuhan’s location, even if he want to run away, he have to consider the consequences, he’s asking for it.

Shen Yuhan knew nothing about this12一無所知 (yī wú suǒ zhī): not knowing anything at all (idiom); completely ignorant; without an inkling; be completely in the dark; know nothing about; be absolutely ignorant of., of course, even if he does, he will feel that it is normal for his husband to know his whereabouts, he has nothing shameful to hide from the other party, if he gets lost one day, his husband can still find him.

“Okay.” Shen Yuhan would have no objection to whatever he did for now.

Shan Qihuan felt comfortable by his call, and gradually adapted to Shen Yuhan’s address to himself.

He handed the configured mobile phone to Shen Yuhan, and helped him test the network, downloaded WeChat, saved his mobile phone number in it, and entered the word ‘Husband’.

Shen Yuhan watched him perform a series of operations, and when he saw the word husband, he knew that it was related to Shan Qihuan.

Then, Shan Qihuan handed the phone to Shen Yuhan: “All right, take it.”

“Thank you, Husband.” Shen Yuhan put the phone into his pocket, he decided to ask others how to use it in the afternoon.

Shan Qihuan, who was waiting for him to ask for his WeChat ID: “…”

He actually didn’t want to add him on WeChat, turns out that he still thinking about Shan Qiyun, which made him a little angry.

Shen Yuhan didn’t know that he made his husband unhappy because he didn’t take the initiative to ask for WeChat, but he felt the change in Shan Qihuan’s mood and took the initiative to think of a topic.

“Husband, shall we go home together tonight?” Shen Yuhan said.

“No, I have a dinner party tonight.” Shan Qihuan is angry.

“Okay then.” The man was socializing outside, so he just goes home and waits.

“Class starts at two o’clock in the afternoon, there’s still one hour left, why don’t you go to the lounge and take a nap while I take care of some work.”

“Okay.” Shen Yuhan obediently followed his instructions and went into the side lounge.

It turns out that the class location is close to his husband, and he could also enjoy the treatment of taking a nap.

There is a one-meter-eight bed in the lounge, with a wardrobe and a full-length mirror next to it, and a little further to the side is the bathroom.

The air is filled with the flavor of the sun, he closed the curtains, took off his shoes and went to bed, with Shan Qihuan outside, Shen Yuhan slept without any distractions13心無旁騖 (xīn wú páng wù): to be concentrated and single-minded; without distractions; be devoted to; be absorbed in..

Forty minutes later, Shen Yuhan woke up from a nightmare, dreaming that he was being chased by mountain bandits again, he was so frightened that his forehead was covered with sweat, he jumped out of bed without wearing any shoes and ran to the office area to find Shan Qihuan!

He said blankly to Shan Qihuan: “Husband, I have a nightmare…”

After he finished shouting, he saw a group of people sitting around the sofa, six or seven pairs of eyes were looking at him.

Shen Yuhan’s face turned pale, his whole body stiffened, and he didn’t know how to react.

His bare feet were seen by so many people!

He, he is not innocent anymore!

I’m hungry… All the dim sum mentioned above is my favorite…
