TAB Chapter 066.2

After entering Shen Yuhan and Shan Qihuan’s home, Xiang Yulin took a general scan, their home is very warmly decorated, every detail is thoughtful and exquisite, every little thing is placed just right¹恰到好處 (qià dào hǎo chù): it’s perfect; it’s just right; just right (for the purpose or occasion, etc); to a nicety; speaking and doing things just right., and there is also a Christmas tree in the living room.

When Shen Yuhan saw that he noticed the Christmas tree, he said proudly: “My husband decorated it himself.” After Shen Yuhan checked on the Internet, he changed the way he addressed his husband, it turned out that nowadays, when people address their husbands, they can use ‘Husband²先生 (xiān sheng): An honorific for adults, usually conferred on males: mister; sir; gentleman; husband; (literal, Classical Chinese) one who was born earlier; (literary) father and elder brother; (literary) ancestor; (literary) Taoist priest; (Gan, Hakka, Min, dated in Mandarin and Jin) doctor; (honorific in Mandarin, Jin; common in Cantonese, Gan, Hakka, Min) teacher.‘ [先生 (xiān sheng)], instead of ‘Lord Husband’ [相公 (xiàng gong)] outside, which is easier to say than calling his husband by his name.

“Chief Shan is quite thoughtful.” Xiang Yulin complimented politely.

“People outside say he is solemn and serious, but in fact, he is very thoughtful.” Realizing that he had said too much, he stopped and said, “What kind of tea do you want to drink? Fruit juice is also fine, my husband likes coffee, if you want to drink it, I can also ask Auntie to grind a cup freshly.”

“No trouble, tea is fine.” Xiang Yulin didn’t understand why Shen Yuhan was so enthusiastic towards him, if not for the fact that Shen Yuhan was always talking about his husband, he would have gotten the wrong idea.

Auntie brought out the tea, Xiang Yulin mentioned the Weibo matter to Shen Yuhan: “Mr. Shen, has your Weibo been opened? We’re going to start publicizing in a couple of days.”

Shen Yuhan patted his forehead: “I was so busy painting new paintings that I forgot about it.”

Xiang Yulin said: “By the way, you’d better apply for certification, it will be better.”

Shen Yuhan was puzzled: “Certification?” Why is it so complicated?

Xiang Yulin thought for a while and then said: “It’s okay if you don’t get the certification, it shouldn’t matter what you say, by the way, what’s your Weibo name?”

Shen Yuhan found his mobile phone, his Weibo name had not been changed yet, and he read out a string of numbers to Xiang Yulin.

Xiang Yulin really wanted to laugh, thinking how he was so cute: “Aren’t you going to change the name?”

“How to change it?” He couldn’t ask Siri now, “I don’t use Weibo very much.”

When Xiang Yulin faced Shen Yuhan, who was several years younger than him, he felt that he was a bit cute, and said: “Let me change it for you.”

Shen Yuhan handed him the mobile phone.

Xiang Yulin moved to his side and said: “What name do you want to change to? I’ll teach you.”

“Oh.” Shen Yuhan leaned forward and watched how Xiang Yulin operated his Weibo, he was also very skillful.

Xiang Yulin said: “You can modify your nickname in the settings here, if you want to change your name next time, you can do it here, the first Weibo is very important, I personally think it’s quite memorable, you can look back and think about it again.” In fact, he didn’t believe that Shen Yuhan didn’t understand such a simple operation, could it be that Shen Yuhan had any thoughts about him?

Shen Yuhan said seriously: “Thank you, I understand.”

With a bang, the door to the house opened, and Xiang Yulin and Shen Yuhan turned around at the same time.

Shan Qihuan, whose hand was still resting on the doorknob, looked at the two of them with a solemn face and then regained his composure.

Shen Yuhan got up and asked him: “Why are you back?”

Shan Qihuan glanced at him lightly: “I came back to pick up a document, I left it behind.”

Shen Yuhan noticed a change in his husband’s expression and subconsciously explained: “This is Mr. Xiang, who is in charge of the painting exhibition, he came here to pick up the paintings.”

Shan Qihuan and Xiang Yulin both □□ and nodded to each other, and then he said to Shen Yuhan: “I’m going upstairs to get the document.” He didn’t even give Shen Yuhan a look, and directly went upstairs, when he opened the door and came in, he saw him whispering in each other’s ear³交頭接耳 (jiāo tóu jiē ěr): to speak in each other’s ears; to whisper to each other; to whisper to one another’s ear. with a strange man, talking and laughing, and it’s still in his own home, it would be strange if Shan Qihuan could be happy, but he told himself to trust Shen Yuhan he couldn’t eat vinegar at random.

When he took the documents and went downstairs, the only person in the living room was Shen Yuhan, who was looking down at his mobile phone.

Shan Qihuan asked: “Where was that person just now?”

Shen Yuhan raised his head and said: “Are you talking about Mr. Xiang? He had to leave first.” He gets up and walks towards Shan Qihuan, “Honey, do you still have to rush to the company?”

Shan Qihuan nodded: “Um, then I’ll leave first, don’t let anyone in from now on, you don’t know him well.”

The smile on Shen Yuhan’s face paused slightly: “But Mr. Xiang was just picking up the paintings, and I invited him in for a cup of tea.”

Shan Qihuan emphasized somewhat coldly: “In short, don’t invite just anyone home, I don’t like it very much.”

“I understand.” Shen Yuhan pursed his lips, he didn’t just invite people home.

Shan Qihuan hurried back to the company, but Shen Yuhan still stood at the door and watched him leave, he didn’t realize that Shen Yuhan’s eyes were filled with disappointment.

–

For two days in a row, Shan Qihuan was very busy, he still left early and came back late, Shen Yuhan also learned to suppress his negative emotions, he also asked for tickets from Xiang Yulin and gave them to the uncles in the calligraphy and painting circles, the uncles said they would go and have a look when they had time, especially Old Master Jiang, who said he would definitely go.

The art exhibition will start tomorrow.

Shen Yuhan was a little nervous at home, so he sent a WeChat message to Shan Qihuan and asked: Husband, the painting exhibition starts tomorrow, are you free to come?

Shan Qihuan had just ‘exchanged’ a few words with Shan Qiyun at the meeting, and the indifference on his face hadn’t faded yet, he was in a bit of a bad mood, so he didn’t want to reply to Shen Yuhan’s WeChat message with this emotion, so he dealt with work first and was so busy that he thought he had replied to Shen Yuhan.

After working overtime until seven in the evening, Shan Qihuan took a breath and wondered why his wife hadn’t replied to his message.

After clicking on WeChat, the whole person almost jumped up, Shen Yuhan actually went out to eat with that person surnamed Xiang!

–

Meanwhile, at this time, Shen Yuhan had been depressed for a day, he was not only depressed today but also felt a little sad for two days in a row, ever since he invited Xiang Yulin home for tea that day, his husband had become more and more indifferent to him, after returning home and taking a shower, he fell asleep without saying a few words to him, he didn’t even reply to his WeChat messages today.

He promised that he would take time to support him tomorrow.

In the afternoon, Xiang Yulin told him that the two painters who would also perform on-site paintings tomorrow had come over and he wanted to invite them to dinner, so he asked Shen Yuhan if he was free to have a meal together.

Shen Yuhan didn’t want to be alone at home with his thoughts, so he agreed.

After they met, Xiang Yulin introduced him to two young painters, but they were both older than him, one was a female painter in her mid-twenties, and the other was a male painter in his thirties, both of them came from out of town, and they were considered to be well-informed, Shen Yuhan was fascinated by them.

They ate Japanese food, and during the meal, Shen Yuhan took a sip of fruit wine, he had never gotten drunk after drinking fruit wine in the Qi Kingdom before, so he must be able to drink a little.

After drinking, he felt dizzy and struggled to hold on, his mind was a bit foggy, but he still sat upright and listened to their conversation attentively, occasionally interjecting a few words.

This meal can be considered that both the guests and the hosts thoroughly enjoy themselves.
The four of them went downstairs, and the two painters walked directly across the street to the hotel opposite them, Shen Yuhan was a little dazed now, and his body swayed slightly when he stood still.

Xiang Yulin held him up in time: “Are you alright?”

Shen Yuhan shook his head, trying to shake off Xiang Yulin’s shadow: “Ah? Oh, I’m fine, I should go home.”

Xiang Yulin said: “Shall I take you back?”

Shen Yuhan wanted to say that he had a driver, he didn’t need him to take him back, but when he felt dizzy, he was pulled into a pine-scented embrace.

He seemed to hear his husband’s auspicious voice.

Shan Qihuan said with a heavy face: “No need for you to take him back.”

Shen Yuhan called out to him in a low voice: “Husband?”

Shan Qihuan put his arm around his shoulder: “Go home.”

“Oh, okay.” He suddenly thought of Xiang Yulin, then turned around and waved to Xiang Yulin, “Third Brother, see you again.”

Just as Xiang Yulin was about to raise his hand to respond, he saw Shen Yuhan being neatly maneuvered by Shan Qihuan, who adjusted his head and helped him into the car swiftly, without causing him any harm.

When he was stuffed into the seat, Shen Yuhan found that there were two husbands in front of him!

Shen Yuhan grabbed his hands randomly in the air, shrank his shoulders, and said in a panic: “Husband, Husband! How can there be two of you, hurry up and find a Taoist priest to subdue the demon that has turned into you!”

Shan Qihuan was stunned for two seconds, the frost on his face slowly melted into bubbles and disappeared.

He muttered something in a low voice: “Drunkard.”

The author has something to say:

Are you trying to make me laugh to death? Writing novels since the age of 4… I mean, I turn 16 every year, not 16 years old oz2.

Have a nice day, there will also be a small red envelope in your comment today~

[T/N: I can’t find the novel the author teased here. Perhaps the author changed their mind and scrapped it for another novel, perhaps the author shelved it for some reason or another, or perhaps the novel is an exclusive for their follower. IDK. Anyway, if anyone is interested to search for it, the title is 《無限流世界崩了以後》 or 《无限流世界崩了以后》.]

Thank you to all the little angels who voted for me between 2021-04-16 12:00:00~2021-04-18 12:04:57 or irrigated me with nutrients!

Thank you to the little angel who dropped the shallow water bomb: [T/N: username]

Thanks to the little angels who threw the landmine: [T/N: Lots and lots of usernames]; Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

The author’s note yesterday was shocking to me. If they’re really just turn 16 at the time they wrote this, it means that their other novel I translated, ARIWATM, was written when the author is around 14. Turns out that this was just a false alarm. LoL
