After Shen Yuhan finished rinsing his mouth, his mouth was still a little sore, he rubbed his cheeks, which were still hot.
He gently closed the bathroom door, and when he came out, he saw his husband staring at him with burning eyes, he stepped forward and covered his eyes with his hands, following the same action that his husband used to do to him.
“Husband, don’t look.” Shen Yuhan’s voice changed a bit.
Shan Qihuan chuckled and took down his hand, closed his eyes and said: “I’m not looking, you go to sleep.”
His wife, whose face is thinner than paper, was able to help him to this extent, which is something he never expected, thinking back on it carefully, Shen Yuhan is really giving him surprises every day, he should collect this pleasant surprise carefully.
Shan Qihuan would not joke with Shen Yuhan inappropriately at this time1不合時宜 (bù hé shí yí): untimely; premature; inopportune; ill-timed; out of fashion; behind the times; Not suitable for the needs of the times; Also refers to unconventional customs., he is really lying quietly.
There was the sound of doctors making their rounds outside, Shen Yuhan quickly pulled up the quilt and lay down on the folding bed, his heart is still not calm, if he looked in the mirror right now, he could still see his bright red lips, and his fair face was stained with a pink color, which was delicious and alluring.
After the doctor left, Shen Yuhan revealed his face from the quilt, not feeling sleepy at all.
Shan Qihuan called him in a low voice: “Shen Yuhan?”
Only then did Shen Yuhan find his voice: “Um?”
“Do you want to hear about my childhood?” Shan Qihuan was afraid that he would think too much, and lose sleep because of doing this kind of thing, so he racked his brains to divert his attention, he had just been relieved and felt comfortable, but his wife might still feel a little uncomfortable.
He heard a little noise from the folding bed, and then he heard Shen Yuhan respond in a low voice: “Um, want.”
Shan Qihuan breathed a sigh of relief, it’s not easy for such a shy person to do such a thing for himself.
“Remember when I told you about being allergic to animal hair?”
Shen Yuhan thought for a moment: “Remember.”
Shan Qihuan organized his speech: “This problem has been caused since childhood, it can’t be changed, it can only be avoided, when you wanted to keep a dog, this was the reason why you were not allowed to keep one, when I was a child, I suffered several losses because of this weakness, you also know that our Shan family is actually a puddle of muddy water, no matter how old or young, no one is a good person.”
Shen Yuhan rarely heard Shan Qihuan use such a subjective tone to evaluate the Shan family, but he didn’t seem to be very angry either, he was probably just helpless, living in a big family, he faced these terrible things in the family, Shen Yuhan has also experienced it.
He asked worriedly: “How did you suffer? Is someone bullying you?”
Shan Qihuan said: “Yes, someone bullied me, at that time, I was still young, my eldest brother and second sister were busy with their own studies, they couldn’t care that much about me, I could only grow up on my own, stumbling along the way. When we were young, we all lived at home, and the children from the other houses also lived with us, my eldest brother and second sister saw how annoying they were, so they often stayed at school and didn’t come back very often, there were only me and Xiaoxin at home. One time, Shan Tianfeng was not at home, leaving only a few of us children of the same age, I don’t know who knew that I was allergic to animal fur, so they picked up a wild dog from outside, and deliberately led it into my and Xiaoxin’s rooms, that dog shed a lot of fur, if it weren’t for the maid passing by, I might have lost my life right then and there.”
Shen Yuhan was very curious as to which child had such a malicious mind: “Then did you know who came up with the idea to bring the dog back?”
Shan Qihuan paused for a moment before revealing the other party’s name: “Shan Qibai was the one who brought the dog back, but it was Shan Qiyun who came up with the idea.”
“How could these two people be so vicious at such a young age?” Shen Yuhan was definitely very angry, almost sitting up from the folding bed in anger, and then feeling very fortunate, “Fortunately, my husband is a good person and naturally enjoys the help from the Heaven, and wasn’t killed by the wicked.” Fortunately, his husband was still around, fortunately, he married his husband and not any man from the Shan family.
“Aren’t you surprised?” Shan Qihuan was surprised at Shen Yuhan’s response to his injustice, wasn’t Shan Qiyun the person he liked before?
“Not surprised, I just feel it’s unfair for my husband, if it were me, I would have to teach the other side a good lesson, even a spanking would be too easy, I’d have to beat his flesh to a pulp.” Shen Yuhan thought that he seemed to be quite bad in saying this, and he was afraid that his husband would also think that his heart was poisonous, he asked carefully, “Will my husband think that I am too bad if I think this way?”
“You are ruthless.” As soon as Shan Qihuan said this, Shen Yuhan tightened his grip on the quilt, and then he heard his husband say, “But my thoughts were the same as yours, later, I beat them back myself, Shan Qibai and Shan Qiyun were beaten black and blue2鼻青臉腫 (bí qīng liǎn zhǒng): to be black and blue in the face; with a bloody nose and swollen face; to suffer a major setback; a bloody nose and a swollen face; badly battered. by me, and they stopped quite a bit after that.”
Fortunately, his husband is not a soft-hearted person towards the enemy, Shen Yuhan shared the same hatred3同仇敵愾 (tóng chóu dí kài): anger against a common enemy (idiom); joined in opposition to the same adversary; share a bitter hatred of the enemy; be united as one against the common enemy. and said: “They already have the intention of harming you, so they are certainly not good people, there is nothing wrong with my husband retaliating in kind4以牙還牙 (yǐ yá huán yá): a tooth for a tooth (retaliation); to take an eye for an eye; return like for like; answer blows with blows; give as good as one gets; From the Chinese translation of the biblical phrase “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” (以眼還眼,以牙還牙), a commandment found in the Book of Exodus 21:23–27 expressing the principle of reciprocal justice measure for measure., however, didn’t your father punish them?”
“Punished, thrown to boarding school for a year before being allowed to return.” Shan Qihuan chuckled. “I don’t think it’s a punishment, rather it gives them a chance to make friends.”
Shen Yuhan is not in a position to comment on his father-in-law, after all, he had not had much contact with him, it was only after many years that he remembered that he had not repaid the money he borrowed from his old friend, and it was difficult to judge whether he was good or bad, in his opinion, if he chose a friend, will not look for this kind of people.
Shen Yuhan asked him: “Is Husband in the same school as them?”
Shan Qihuan: “Different schools, this is the only thing that makes me feel comfortable.”
“How many brothers and sisters do you have in total?” Shen Yuhan has never had a deep understanding of how many people there are in the Shan family, the only people he usually know about are the four Shan Qihuan brothers and sisters, the Second Madam’s Shan Qibai, the Third Madam’s Shan Qiyun, and the Fourth Madam also has a son and a daughter, all of whom are relatively young, and might not have had the ability to enter the Shan Group at the moment.
Shan Qihuan was not surprised that Shen Yuhan didn’t know, and patiently told him: “My mother gave birth to four children, the Second Madam gave birth to four children, there are two daughters who are about the same age as my second sister, a son, and also a younger daughter who is still in college. There are three from the Third Madam side, one eldest daughter is married, the ones with her now are Shan Qiyun and the younger daughter, who seems to be still in high school, the Fourth Madam, whom you have met before, has a son and a daughter, she is probably still trying to conceive the third one with my father, I’m afraid it will be a bit difficult.”
Shan Tianfeng is currently unable to even protect himself5自身難保 (zì shēn nán bǎo): powerless to defend oneself (idiom); helpless; to be in trouble oneself (implying someone is thus unable to help others); be unable even to protect oneself; be unable to fend for oneself., he is probably preoccupied6一門心思 (yī mén xīn si): to set one’s heart on sth (idiom); (colloquial) wholeheartedly; heart and soul; single-mindedly. only with living longer, and has no time to think about the matter of affection7兒女情長 (ér nǚ qíng cháng): be immersed in love; the lasting affection of boys and girls; love between man and woman lingers long—be excessively indulged in love; refers to attaching too much importance to love. between his children. When he was young, he meet one person and loved one person, but he could also like several people at the same time, rather than being a playboy, it would be better to say that he is not sincere to anyone, so it seems that every woman is the top of his heart, and when a new person appears, he will immediately dote on the new person.
“Thirteen children, that’s quite a lot.” Shen Yuhan didn’t know how many children modern people had, but most of them were monogamous, it seems that there are also not many families like the Shan family.
“It’s quite a lot, and there are a lot of disputes between half-brothers and sisters of the same age. Shen Yuhan, I’m not telling you this because I want you to fight with them, I just want you to stay away from them next time you see them, don’t get involved in muddy water, they’re all people who would eat without spitting out bones8吃個不吐骨頭 (chī gè bù tǔ gǔ tou): T/N: May or may not be a typo for the idiom 吃人不吐骨頭 (chī rén bù tǔ gǔ tou), lit. to eat a person without spitting bones; (derogatory, figurative) to be extremely ruthless and greedy; ruthless; vicious and greedy., few of them treat others sincerely, they will do whatever it takes9不擇手段 (bù zé shǒu duàn): (derogatory) to take any measures to do something; to stop at nothing; by hook or by crook; unscrupulously; by fair means or foul. for profit, and are only interested in profit10唯利是圖 (wéi lì shì tú): to seek nothing but profit (idiom); personal profit before everything; self-seeking; to be bent solely on profit; seek profit exclusively; be intent on nothing but profit..”
Shen Yuhan said honestly: “I know, fortunately, I met my husband.”
Shan Qihuan knew that he was almost coaxed, the discomfort that he felt after that charming act was probably also gone: “It’s good that you know it, go to sleep quickly, the doctor will come to check me again at eight o’clock tomorrow morning, we also have to get up early.”
“Oh okay, good night husband, you have to dream about me.” Shen Yuhan pulled up the quilt and closed his eyes.
Husband’s family is similar to their Shen family, so they can be considered as well-matched from different eras.
“Don’t dream about you.” As usual11一如既往 (yī rú jì wǎng): just as in the past (idiom); just as before; continuing as always; Means that the attitude has not changed, exactly as before., Shan Qihuan loves to act contrary to him, “Good night.”
After hearing this, Shen Yuhan smiled slightly in the darkness, this was his husband’s unique style.
The next part will be up soon.
