TAB Chapter 018

Not Rude

It rained all night last night, but now the sky is clear after the rain.

The dead leaves that fell outside drifted into the yard, there were yellow leaves all over the ground, however, the air was very fresh in the morning after the rain.

When Shen Yuhan woke up in the morning, he looked in the mirror and put on the ruby ​​earrings he bought yesterday, and put the bracelet Shan Qihuan chose for him on his left wrist.

He didn’t have to go to class today, so he put on his shoes and went to the glass house in the yard, there were many flowers that couldn’t be named planted there, the auntie said that the gardener would come to take care of it once a week, and they usually came in to water it.

Now that Shen Yuhan is here, there is someone to take care of the flowers in the glass house, he will cut off the excess branches and arrange them.

The Chinese roses1月季 (yuè jì): Rosa chinensis, known commonly as the China rose, Chinese rose, or Bengal rose, is a member of the genus Rosa native to Southwest China in Guizhou, Hubei, and Sichuan Provinces. Chinese Rose he cut a few days ago were a little dry, he was going to replace them today, and cut a few that looked pretty good.

Shen Yuhan was pruning slowly in the yard, he used to like to take care of flowers and potted plants, his handiwork was good, even the Empress of Qi once praised his skill, in the spring when he turned seventeen, the Empress even invited him to serve as a judge in the Hundred Flowers Banquet competition, he has always had his own aesthetics, the women and ger in the capital of Qi Kingdom all like to learn flower arrangement from him, he thought that modern flower arrangement techniques were very advanced, but in fact, it’s just that the modern people have more varieties of flowers that they can use, flower arrangements has existed in ancient and modern times, but it’s not much more unique.

Shan Qihuan got up earlier than usual today, probably because his schedule has been very regular recently, and he doesn’t even want to sleep anymore.

After washing up, he went to the balcony to check today’s weather, and then saw Shen Yuhan standing outside the glass house, trimming flower branches.

Today, he wears an orange and white plaid apron around his chest, holding a pair of scissors for cutting flower branches in his hand, his sleeves are pushed up to his forearm, the golden bracelet on his wrist is glittering under the sunlight, and the ruby studs on his earlobes are also quite conspicuous.

Yesterday, he didn’t realize how good-looking they were, but today, he really understand why Shen Yuhan bought them, because wearing them not only enhance the person’s temperament, but also adds a lot of color to him.

Using beauty to seduce2色誘 (sè yòu): to use beauty to seduce people; generally refers to a derogatory term used to use beauty to seduce people to do bad things; 色 (sè), means color; look; appearance; 誘 (yòu), means entice; tempt. him.

When Shan Qihuan indulge in flights of fancy, he heard Shen Yuhan make a ‘hiss’ sound, his hand was pricked by the thorns on the flower branches, also didn’t know how to wear a glove.

Shen Yuhan looked at the small blood beads on his fingertips, and frowned slightly, the prick was quite painful.

He wanted to put his hand to his mouth and suck it, but Shan Qihuan’s voice came from upstairs: “Isn’t it dirty?”

“What?” Shen Yuhan’s frown smoothed out, he raised his head and asked Shan Qihuan, “Husband, you’re awake?”

“Don’t suck it with your mouth, it’s dirty.” Shan Qihuan stopped him from upstairs, “Go into the living room, and wait for me to come down.”

Shen Yuhan looked at the small blood beads on his fingers, instead of shaking them off, he responded: “Okay.”

This is their first weekend of marriage, and his husband didn’t go to the company to work overtime, Shen Yuhan decisively put down the flower branches and scissors in his hands, and entered the house.

Shan Qihuan took out iodophor, cotton swabs, and waterproof band-aids from the medical kit.
Shen Yuhan, who had changed his shoes, walked in, Shan Qihuan waved to him: “Come here.”

Shen Yuhan sat next to him obediently, and stretched out his pricked index finger.

He found that his husband was a bit tough-tongued sometimes, but he was actually very soft-hearted.

Shan Qihuan sterilized his small wound, and then carefully put the waterproof band-aid on it, the process was neat and fast.

He objectively thought that Shen Yuhan’s fingers were slender and a bit soft, not suitable for rough work, but more suitable for playing the piano.

Shen Yuhan, on the other hand, looked at the band-aid on his hand for the first time and found it very novel, so he couldn’t help but take a second look.

In fact, that small cut on his hand will be fine after just flushing it with water, right?

But being able to be taken care of by his husband, a slight smile couldn’t help but escape from the corners of Shen Yuhan’s lips.

When Shan Qihuan put away the medical kit, he saw Shen Yuhan smiling at himself, which was really too dazzling.

“Be careful, a long barb can cut your finger when you pull it out, if your small wound is not sterilized in time, it will almost have to be cut.”

Shen Yuhan was a little nervous due to Shan Qihuan’s words, is it that serious?

It’s not like his husband was trying to scare him, right, making frightening statements to scare people3危言聳聽 (wēi yán sǒng tīng): frightening words to scare people (idiom); alarmist talk; to make exaggerated and frightening statements to scare people; say frightening things just to cause alarm; Refers to deliberately saying exaggerated and scary things to make people startled and shocked..

But there was no hint of teasing in his eyes, so maybe it was true?

“Is, is it that serious?”

“It’s on the news, let Auntie find you a pair of thick gloves, your hands are already ugly, and pricking them twice will make them even uglier.”

Shen Yuhan lowered his head and looked at his hands, it’s quite fair, although it was a bit rougher than what he used to be, but he had been taking good care of it during this time, the calluses between his fingers were gone, and there was no smell of cigarette smoke, the yellowed areas were slowly turning white, so where is the ugliness?

“It’s not ugly.” Shen Yuhan refuted his husband, “But I will pay attention to it in the future, thank you for your concern, Husband.”

“Who is concerned about you, you’re flattering yourself4自作多情 (zì zuò duō qíng): to display affection regardless of whether the other party accepts it; to imagine that one’s affection is reciprocated; (in general) to indulge in one’s own wishful thinking; to flatter oneself; to shower affection on an uninterested party; Usually it refers to a one-side romance, but depending on the context, its meaning can also extend to other things..” Shan Qihuan put away the medical kit.
Shen Yuhan looked at the band-aid on his finger and didn’t argue with him.

Shen Yuhan asked the auntie for a pair of white gloves, he continued to sort out the remaining flower branches.

He happened to have breakfast when he came in carrying the vase, and Shen Yuhan placed the vase in the living room.

Shan Qihuan was sitting on the sofa and turning on the TV.

Shen Yuhan asked him casually: “Husband, does it look good?”

Shan Qihuan took one look at it and said, “Not bad.” In fact, he is quite good at arranging flowers, it seems that the flowers that can be seen everywhere in the house these days are all made by his hands, he is really talented.

At this time, there is a very interesting social news in the morning news.

“Yesterday night at 1 o’clock in the morning, two second generation of wealthy family5富二代 (fù èr dài): (neologism) one who belongs to the second generation of a wealthy family; children of entrepreneurs who became wealthy under Deng Xiaoping’s economic reforms in the 1980s; Originally this term carried the implication that a child of this generation enjoys the wealth of his or her parents whilst being ignorant of how hard they had to work in order gain it, though this negative connotation seems to be on the decline. come to blows6大打出手 (dà dǎ chū shǒu): to strike violently; to attack brutally; get into a free-for-all fight; come to blows; get into a fight. over a handsome man in a clubhouse and the police was called, the two second generation of wealthy family revealed the nature of the handsome man’s job during a quarrel, and the entire process was recorded by the police, at present, the club has been sealed on suspicion of prostitution.”

What attracted Shan Qihuan to this news was not the handsome man, but the two second generation of wealthy family who appeared in the news, whom he had seen in the clubhouse.

He glanced at Shen Yuhan, fortunately, he didn’t go anywhere yesterday, otherwise, he might be on the news today.

Shen Yuhan, on the other hand, focused on the word ‘prostitution’, Qi Kingdom’s management in this area was not strict, the punishment was not severe, and many pleasure quarters and small brothels were opened, it turns out that prostitution is also not allowed in modern times.

He took a look at the handsome man mentioned in the news, he was indeed quite good, he would be the number one server in Qi Kingdom.

Shan Qihuan looked at the friend group, the chat history only stopped at ten o’clock last night, and it has been very quiet since then.

He had breakfast with Shen Yuhan before calling Liu Tan.

Liu Tan almost cursed when he picked up the phone, he had just fallen asleep.

“Why are you calling me this early in the morning when you didn’t sleep in?”

“Did something happen to the club you went to yesterday?”

“Don’t mention it, there are two idiots fighting over that top student, I don’t know which grandson called the police, which exposed the nature of that top student’s job, the police station’s new officer took office three times, and directly sealed the clubhouse, all of us were interrogated all night, we only got out of the police station at four o’clock in the morning. Not right, where did you know that?”

“You guys are on the news.”

“Holy shit! I didn’t show my face, did I, my dad will beat me to death if he finds out!”

“He won’t beat you, you didn’t show your face, but those two faces during the fight were quite clear, when I saw them, I remembered that you were there last night.”

“It’s a good thing you didn’t go, the trigger was the top student I mentioned yesterday.”

“Oh, he’s on the news too, I think he looks just average.” He’s not half as good-looking as Shen Yuhan, those peach blossom eyes7桃花眼 (táo huā yǎn): Peach blossom eyes are an eye shape that is so named because the eyes resemble peach blossoms and bring good luck to them. There is a slight pink halo around the peach blossom eyes, and the eye shape is like a peach blossom, watery. The tail of the eye is parallel, slightly drooping, and slightly tilted. When smiling, it curves down like a crescent moon. Various-Eyes look very attractive, but Shen Yuhan’s red phoenix eyes are more attractive.

“Tsk, then you have really high standards, if this hadn’t happened, this top student would have been wrapped up by someone soon, who would dare to touch him now, it will only cause a mess.”

“You guys should calm down, I’ve told you a long time ago not to go to that club, avoid messing with people they recommend.”

“You’re really my brother! By the way, how are you getting along with your little friend?”

“What little friend?”

“The one you’ve been coaxing, didn’t you spend the weekend with someone?”

“I’m at home, what fun can I go out for?”

“If you’re serious, take them out to a meal and watch movies, young people all eat this set8吃這一套 (chī zhè yī tào): lit. eat this set; like or readily accept certain behaviors and practices., and when the atmosphere arrives, bring them to bed.” Shan Qihuan did not object, which was equivalent to acquiescence, Liu Tan laughed and said: “It seems that there is a little friend.”

“Go to sleep, manage so wide.”

There is no little friend, but there is a flirtatious little vixen who was thinking about seducing him all day long.

In the afternoon, before Shan Qihuan could figure out whether to take Shen Yuhan out today, Shen Yuhan took the initiative to come to him.

“Husband, do you know where there is an engraved seal?”

“Don’t know.” Shan Qihuan replied coldly and ruthlessly.

“Oh.” Shen Yuhan turned around and was about to leave, rather disappointed.

Shan Qihuan immediately adjusted his tone to a much softer tone: “What are you doing carving seals for? There was a time-honored shop on that old street last time, and some of them were hand-engraved.”

“Stamp my calligraphy and painting.” Shen Yuhan had nothing to hide from Shan Qihuan, “You just said you didn’t know.”

“I just remembered, I’m going out later, I’ll take you there.”

“Then I’ll go and change my clothes, you have to wait for me.” Shen Yuhan thought to himself, why is his husband always say one thing but mean another9口是心非 (kǒu shì xīn fēi): lit. mouth (says) yes, heart (says) no; duplicity; hypocrisy (idiom); to say one thing but mean another; what one thinks is different from what one says; two-faced; disharmony of mind and thought; play a double game..

“Um.”

In fact, Shan Qihuan thinks that Shen Yuhan looks the same no matter what he wears.

But it wasn’t until he saw Shen Yuhan wearing new clothes, he forgot what he had thought a few minutes ago.

Yesterday, Shen Yuhan was wearing a sweatshirt and still looks like a young student, what did he think about Shen Yuhan today? He put on a pure white pullover with a simple clock pattern on the chest, and a slim-fitting woolen coat, he looked a little more mature, perhaps the earrings and bracelets added color to him.

While what Shen Yuhan was thinking about was that he could go out in his husband’s car again.

Shan Qihuan changed into a silver-white sports car today, and the sound is different.

Not only is the car different, but even Shan Qihuan’s clothes today are also different, usually, he is dressed in suits and leather shoes, upright and serious, but today he is more casual than yesterday, wearing a black jacquard V-neck sweater and a pair of jeans, he specially wore a coat with the same color as Shen Yuhan, their clothes matched well today.

However, Shen Yuhan’s shoes obviously didn’t match his clothes, he was wearing sneakers.

Shan Qihuan noticed it and asked him: “Is this the only pair of shoes you have?”

“This is the only pair that can be worn outside.” Shen Yuhan lowered his head and looked at his shoes, they were quite comfortable.

“I’ll take you to buy a few spare pairs this afternoon, why do you lack everything?”

“Isn’t it because I don’t have a dowry.” Shen Yuhan whispered.

“Fine, I’ll buy it for you.” Shan Qihuan thought he was joking with him when he said dowry.

“Don’t you have something to do?” He didn’t know much about matching modern clothes, but listening to his husband was always a good idea.

“It’s cancelled.” Shan Qihuan lied without changing his expression10面不改色 (miàn bù gǎi sè): one’s facial expression remains unchanged; without batting an eyelid; not change colour—remain calm; not turn a hair; keep one’s composure., but he did it for the sake of monitoring Shen Yuhan, who knew if he would run out on his own, so it was better to keep an eye on him.

As soon as the two got in the car, Shan Qihuan received a call from Shan’s housekeeper, he brought a Bluetooth headset with him today, so he could talk at any time.

“Young Qihuan, today is the day for us to have dinner together, you’re coming back for dinner tonight, right?”

Almost forgot that he had to go back to Shan Tianfeng’s place for dinner today.

“Remember, I’ll be back in the evening.”

“The Old Master said, please bring Young Master Shen back with you.”

“Got it.”

Shan Qihuan’s interest in going out was half gone, and he said to Shen Yuhan next to him: “Let’s go back to my father’s place for dinner tonight.”

“Are we going to see my father-in-law11公公 (gōng gong): (Mandarin, Gan, Jin, Wu) father-in-law (husband’s father); (archaic) term of address for eunuchs; (archaic) Grand Preceptor; (dialectal Mandarin, Cantonese, dialectal Gan, dialectal Wu) maternal grandfather; (dialectal Mandarin, Gan, dialectal Hakka, Huizhou, Handan Jin, Min Bei, Xiang, dialectal Wu) paternal grandfather; old man; elderly man. tonight?”

Shan Qihuan’s face looked a bit foul: “Not only can you see your father-in-law, but you can also see your brother-in-law Qiyun.”

“Husband, you sound like you’re jealous.”

“…”

Shen Yuhan saw that his husband had a stinky face, so he found a step for him, after thinking about it, he seemed to have a younger brother as well: “Aren’t there other brother-in-law?”

You’re still thinking about other brothers-in-law?

Shan Qihuan’s face became even more foul.

Shan Qihuan went to the old street to accompany Shen Yuhan to choose a piece of jade to carve a seal, and then went to the mall to help him choose some pairs of shoes, Shen Yuhan wore socks this time, and the shop assistants were all women, there happened to be no other customers, so he didn’t worry so much when trying on shoes.

Got another bunch of loot again today.

It’s very close to the dinner time in the old house, so Shan Qihuan took Shen Yuhan and left.

Coincidentally, just as he parked his car, he bumped into Shan Qiyun, who was also getting out of the car.

He was slightly startled when he saw Shen Yuhan, who had changed a lot.

“Brother Huan, Yuhan.”

Shan Qihuan nodded casually, and took the initiative to hold Shen Yuhan’s hand: “Let’s go in.”

Shen Yuhan leaned over to his side and whispered: “Husband, will it be too rude for people to see us holding hands outside?”

Shan Qihuan looked at him expressionlessly: “It’s not rude.”

Shen Yuhan happily shook his husband’s big hand, which was warm.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Shan Qiyun was at their back, Shan Qihuan would have thought that Shen Yuhan was seducing him in public.

Shan Qiyun, who was two steps behind, listened to their conversation word for word, and felt a sour feeling in his heart.

Shen Yuhan actually called Shan Qihuan husband!

What does that make him?

If he had agreed to Shen Yuhan at that time, would he be the one being called husband now?

I need your input, SYH always calls SQH 老公 (lǎo gōng), which means ‘Husband’, but can also be translated as ‘Hubby’, ‘Honey’, and so on, basically it’s a term of endearment (which is kinda mushy, and SYH usually doesn’t use this title when he’s in front of their elders). So far, I always translate it as ‘Husband’, should I keep translating it as ‘Husband, or should I mix it up, sometimes ‘Hubby’, sometimes ‘Honey’, and so on?
