The arrival of the Second Madam really affected his mood.
Although he has people whom he can talk to in the modern era, but in the end, there is no way to truly have a heart-to-heart talk with them, he still has to shoulder many things by himself.
Shen Yuhan hastily put on his coat and went out.
His and Shan Qihuan’s home was warm, like his temporary haven, but he was afraid it would be gone one day.
Things have been going so well recently, and he hasn’t faced this realistic problem for a long time, Shen Yuhan’s mood became increasingly depressed.
How about going for a walk by the lake, there are artificial lakes in many communities, he has only heard of them, but has never actually seen them.
The WeChat message on the mobile phone rang, Shen Yuhan took out his mobile phone and took a look, it was from their calligraphy and painting group, someone sent a long picture with the words ‘One hundred interesting things from around the world’ written on it. Then, the first person came out to speak, then the second person, and the third person, and the group that had been deserted1冷冷清清 (lěng lěng qīng qīng): cold and cheerless; desolate; lonely; deserted. began to become lively.
While everyone was chatting heatedly, Wen You said that he and his friends were going to have a Christmas party, and asked everyone if they wanted to come out and play.
The first person to respond to Wen You was Lian Qi, and then Lian Qi @ Shen Yuhan in the group, asking him if he was going.
Shen Yuhan is not yet able to send messages while walking like modern people for the time being, and he is also not used to sending voice messages to other people, after finding the artificial lake, he sits on a bench by the lake and replies to the messages, watching them chatting also eased a lot of his anxiety, maybe he should go and get in touch with modern young people?
He first looked up what Christmas was, and then asked in the group: Are you all going?
Wen You was the first to reply to Shen Yuhan, and he also specially explained it to him once again: There are five people who have signed up now, this is a Christmas party, it’s very simple, just chatting, singing, playing games, eating, and drinking.
Lian Qi asked where to play, Wen You said that they had booked a villa to play, and he also directly sent the location.
Shen Yuhan has learned to read maps, and this place doesn’t seem too far away from him.
Would it seem unsociable if he doesn’t go?
Wen You @ Shen Yuhan again: Yuhan, are you coming?
Shen Yuhan still replied cautiously: I don’t know yet, I need to discuss with my family.
Wen You thought of the handsome man who took him away last time: You are an adult, you don’t have to talk to your family about everything.
Lian Qi also thinks so: Yes, your brother is too strict.
Shen Yuhan thought that Shan Qihuan was not strict with him, and laughed silently, he could also be considered his brother, sometimes he really loved and protected him like an older brother, and when he thought about the possibility of being separated from him one day in the future, his heart would ache.
Shen Yuhan replied: I will consider it.
Lian Qi likes Shen Yuhan’s domineering style too much: You must come, I haven’t seen you for a long time!
After sitting for a while, Shen Yuhan found that the sun had already set, and the wind blew, making his face feel cold.
He didn’t know that Shan Qihuan, who came back from work early today, didn’t see him and was panicked.
–
Shan Qihuan asked Auntie Wang: “Where is Xiao Han?”
Auntie Wang was busy with dinner, she shook her head: “He was still in the house before, I didn’t pay attention just now, is he in the greenhouse?”
Naturally, Shan Qihuan didn’t find anyone upstairs, Shen Yuhan usually would go downstairs to pick him up after hearing the sound of a car, but he didn’t see anyone today.
He had looked at the greenhouse, and there was no one there, it was so cold outside, what was he doing out there?
Shan Qihuan directly made a phone call, fortunately, Shen Yuhan brought his mobile phone, and the call was connected.
Shen Yuhan, who was braving the wind by the lake, sneezed as soon as he answered the phone: “Husband.”
“Where have you been? I didn’t see you when I got home.” Shan Qihuan showed worry as soon as he opened his mouth.
Shen Yuhan rubbed his nose: “I just saw that the sun was good, so I sat here by the lake for a while.”
Shan Qihuan looked at the scarf hanging on the hook and said: “Not wearing a scarf?”
Shen Yuhan touched his neck: “Ah, I forgot.” Usually, his husband would put it on for him when he went out, but today he actually forgot about it, he didn’t know since when, it became his husband who attended to him.
Shan Qihuan took off his scarf: “Why don’t you forget yourself, send me your location, I’ll come and find you.”
“I’m about to go back.” Shen Yuhan blinked and realized that he had just been thinking too much and didn’t even know which direction he was coming from, looking around, every villa looked similar, he couldn’t remember which fork in the road he came from either, so he immediately changed his words, “Husband, it’s better for you to come and pick me up, I’m lost.”
“So stupid, still dare to run out by yourself?” Shan Qihuan put on the shoes he had just changed out of.
“I’m not stupid, I’m smart.” Shen Yuhan stood up and stretched his hands and feet, standing by the lake waiting for his husband, he had already heard the sound of his husband putting on his shoes, closing the door, and going out.
He wondered if his husband knew that he was an ancient person, and had learned how to use a mobile phone, how to use Siri, and how to surf the Internet, will he be shocked, he wasn’t boasting, he thinks he is quite smart.
While thinking about this possibility, Shen Yuhan sneezed again.
“Shen Yuhan, do you think you can go a day without causing trouble2一天不打上房揭瓦 (yī tiān bù dǎ shàng fáng jiē wǎ): T/N: May or may not be a pun of the proverb 三天不打，上房揭瓦 (sān tiān bù dǎ , shàng fáng jiē wǎ), lit. Don’t beat (a child) for three days and (the child will) scale the roof to rip the tiles; three days without a beating, and a child will scale the roof to rip the tiles (idiom); spare the rod and spoil the child. (It is also possible that SQH thinks SYH need to be disciplined daily).” Shan Qihuan started his unique education on his wife as he walked, “You’ll be beaten if you catch a cold.”
“I probably won’t.” Shen Yuhan felt that his nose seemed to be itching a little, “If I catch a cold, will Husband really beat me?”
“What do you think? Why don’t you try and see if I’ll beat you or not.” Shan Qihuan began to warn him verbally.
Shen Yuhan squatted down and picked up a branch that fell on the ground, flicking the calm ice water in the lake: “I still don’t want to be beaten up, Husband, I’m afraid of pain.”
Shan Qihuan smiled: “Then I have to look at the situation. Where are you, I’m here.”
Shen Yuhan immediately threw away the branch in his hand, and waved to Shan Qihuan in the direction of the intersection: “Husband, I’m here.”
As soon as he stepped forward, Shan Qihuan put the scarf around his neck, Shen Yuhan stood in front of him, he felt less cold after standing with his husband for a while, standing here alone is still quite cold.
Shan Qihuan hugged him forward, and pressed his warm palm on his face: “It’s so cold, what are you doing out here?”
Shen Yuhan stuffed his hands into Shan Qihuan’s coat pockets: “I just suddenly wanted to see the sun.”
“You can go back now, there’s no sun.” Shan Qihuan only saw the ice floating on the lake and didn’t think it looked any good, probably because his wife has artistic talent, all he sees are scenery and paintings, but all he saw were money symbols.
“Um.” Shen Yuhan nodded but didn’t move.
“Not leaving?” Shan Qihuan thought to himself, we haven’t seen each other for just one day, but he’s so clingy, he’s indeed the reincarnation of a clingy spirit.
Shen Yuhan felt warm leaning against his husband, he let go of Shan Qihuan and held his hand instead, Shan Qihuan stuffed his hand back into his pocket, and the two of them walked back in the direction of their home together.
Shen Yuhan couldn’t help but think of the Second Madam who came to threaten him today: “Husband, today the Second Madam brought a woman who claimed to be my cousin to see me at home.”
“Did she come here because of Shan Qibai’s matter? Did she plead for mercy or threaten you?” As soon as he heard this, Shan Qihuan immediately thought of the Second Madam’s tricks, she only knows a few of them, and after watching them for more than ten years, he was almost tired of them.
“To threaten me.” Shen Yuhan thought that his husband had already guessed it, so there was nothing to hide either, “That cousin said that she had a piece of information that could cause my father to lose all standing and reputation3身敗名裂 (shēn bài míng liè): to lose one’s status and have one’s reputation destroyed; to lose one’s standing; to have one’s reputation swept away; a complete defeat and fall from grace; be utterly discredited; bring disgrace and ruin upon oneself; end up in shame and ruin; lose all standing and reputation; have one’s name lying in the dust..”
“You believe it? I think it’s nonsense. If she had such information, she would have used it long ago, it’s suspicious that she’s bringing it up now, no matter how you look at it, it’s all fake, I’ll handle this matter, you don’t need to worry about it, if they bother you again, let them come to me.”
When it comes to this, Shan Qihuan took the initiative to mention the two houses he bought.
“I’ve already transferred the house back to your name, the key is also at my place, it’s up to you how you want to do with it.”
Shen Yuhan’s eyes brightened slightly, and the trouble that the Second Madam had caused him in the afternoon was instantly solved: “Then I’ll go and take a look when I’m free.”
Shan Qihuan guessed that he was probably homesick: “Um.”
When he came over just now, he saw Shen Yuhan’s lonely back, at that time, he felt somewhat lonely, as if he would disappear if he didn’t catch him quickly, at that moment, Shan Qihuan’s heart panicked.
After the troubling problem was solved, Shen Yuhan was in a better mood: “Husband, Wen You and the others invited me to spend Christmas, should I go or not?”
“Then do you want to go?” Shan Qihuan never had the intention of restraining Shen Yuhan, and having just seen his lonely back, he was even more unwilling to let him be alone, without even a friend to talk to, he pretended to be generous and said, “If you want to go, then go.”
“Really?” Shen Yuhan actually didn’t have a deep understanding of Christmas, and he believed in Shan Qihuan’s words wholeheartedly.
Shan Qihuan pulled out a shallow smile, and said with great reluctance: “Um, I’ve never liked Western festivals.”
Shen Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he also wanted to experience the lifestyle of modern young people, as long as his husband didn’t mind.
After returning home, Shen Yuhan replied to Wen You and Lian Qi in the group, saying that he could go.
The group was buzzing with excitement again.
Shan Qihuan sat on the side and watched Shen Yuhan reply to messages from his friends in the group, he was smiling brightly, not remembering that there was a husband next to him at all, and felt sour in his heart.
He told himself over and over again: Can’t stop Shen Yuhan from making friends.
He lowered his head and moved his fingers, opened the online shopping APP, and canceled the order for a Christmas tree at noon.
It’s just a stupid Christmas, what’s there to care about, he doesn’t want to celebrate it at all!
At night, Shen Yuhan coughed a little, he probably caught a cold in the afternoon, so Shan Qihuan got up and gave him cold medicine.
Shen Yuhan finished drinking the medicine, and then consciously lay down with the quilt in his arms, he looked at Shan Qihuan with bright eyes and asked softly: “Husband, I catch a cold, are you really going to beat me up?”
Shan Qihuan said: “Really beating.” The next moment, he got into bed and gently patted him on the ass, he kissed Shen Yuhan’s ear and threatened: “I’ll save it first, then I’ll beat you in one fell swoop later.”
Shen Yuhan blushed: “You…”
It turns out that this ‘beating’ is not that beating.
