Chapter 31: Ambiguity through frosted glass

Fu Yucheng was afraid that their noise would make Yun Tangyin uncomfortable, so he shut them up with a look.

"I'll treat you to breakfast later. You've been busy all day. Order whatever you want. I'll pay for it."

After Fu Yucheng finished speaking, Zhou Desheng rudely told his brothers to disperse and have dinner.

Leaving two people still there.

Fu Yucheng looked at Yun Tangyin beside him, his eyes and eyebrows full of pity: "Let's go, drink some hot water first."

Yun Tangyin nodded and followed Fu Yucheng back to the room.

While he was pouring hot water from the thermos, Yun Tangyin quickly stuffed the sanitary napkins she bought from Taobao into her bag.

Women of this era use sanitary belts during menstruation that need to be washed repeatedly. Individually packaged sanitary napkins like this one have not been widely promoted and produced yet.

Yun Tangyin, a person who traveled through time and space in a book, really couldn't use such a simple sanitary belt.

So she could only buy it on Taobao and use it secretly.

Fu Yucheng handed the hot water to Yun Tangyin: "If we meet the supply and marketing cooperative on the way, I'll buy you some brown sugar to drink with water."

Gentle, considerate and careful.

Yun Tangyin smiled and nodded: "Thank you."

These three words were spoken so softly that Fu Yucheng even felt a little embarrassed.

After drinking a cup of hot water, Yun Tangyin felt much more comfortable in her stomach.

After drinking the hot water, he went to have breakfast with Fu Yucheng.

There is a restaurant next to the guesthouse, and the breakfast is also very simple meat buns.

The filling in the buns is quite generous, filling the bun skin completely.

Yun Tangyin took a bite of the bun and chewed it slowly, then she noticed that Zhou Desheng next to her had been staring at her for a long time.

Tilting his head slightly, Yun Tangyin touched the corner of his mouth: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Desheng also bit into the bun and chuckled twice: "Sister-in-law, you eat so gracefully... It looks very nice."

He meant the compliment sincerely.

After all, when the men in the army eat, they gobble up everything in sight. No one cares about their table manners. They are just happy to fill their stomachs.

Even the most gentle Fu Yucheng eats quickly.

Among them, Yun Tangyin's elegant way of eating made it impossible for her not to attract attention.

Yun Tangyin could understand it, but when she said it this way... it sounded weird to her ears.

She smiled and said, "Don't praise me, everyone has their own way of eating. If I didn't have to save face in front of your brother Fu, I would eat it with big mouthfuls like you."

The perfect amount of humor made everyone laugh, livened up the atmosphere, and explained away his own "pretentiousness."

Zhou Desheng also realized that what he said was inappropriate, and quickly laughed twice.

Fu Yucheng just glanced at Zhou Desheng and said nothing, but he could also see Yun Tangyin's temper from her handling of the situation.

"Eat more, you're too thin."

Fu Yucheng's voice was soft, but one could hear infinite tenderness in it.

Yun Tangyin also nodded and ate quietly.

Yun Tangyin was full with just a big meat bun and a bowl of soy milk.

After breakfast, Fu Yucheng and Yun Tangyin got back in the car and continued heading northeast.

Fortunately, today we drove on a wide and straight national highway. These were all newly paved roads, wide and straight, unlike the loess roads just out of the city.

The military truck was much more stable, and Yun Tangyin was cushioned with cotton pads, so she sat very steadily.

But here’s the thing…

It's easy to get sleepy.

After a while, Yun Tangyin started nodding frantically like a chicken pecking at rice, just like yesterday.

Perhaps because of his experience, Fu Yucheng reached out and moved Yun Tangyin's head to lean on his shoulder without any hesitation.

But the difference from yesterday is... Yun Tangyin is just sleepy now, she hasn't fallen asleep yet.

So she knew Fu Yucheng's movements clearly.

Even when she leaned on Fu Yucheng's shoulder, she couldn't help but stiffen her body for a moment.

Fu Yucheng also noticed Yun Tangyin's stiffness and felt a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid you'll hit your head..."

Yun Tangyin sat up straighter and smiled: "It's okay, you are worried about me, but I am not sleepy yet."

Fu Yucheng nodded.

The space inside the car fell silent instantly.

Neither of them spoke.

Yun Tangyin was no longer sleepy. She watched the scenery speeding away outside the car window and imagined in her mind what the place where she would soon settle down would look like...

In the original plot, the author sent Xu Runli to Northeast China, and she still remembers those trivial family stories.

Now that the main plot has been rewritten by her, will these plots also change?

Yun Tangyin couldn't explain it clearly and wasn't sure.

She could only walk and watch.

Just as she was thinking seriously, she suddenly felt her shoulders sink...

When she turned around, she saw Fu Yucheng leaning on her shoulder with his eyes closed.

Fu Yucheng was the one who was really sleepy.

He didn't sleep well in his room yesterday, and he had a misunderstanding this morning because he was looking for Yun Tangyin. Now Fu Yucheng started to feel sleepy.

But as a soldier, he reacted faster than ordinary people when he felt sleepy. As soon as his head touched Yun Tangyin's shoulder, he immediately straightened up again.

Fu Yucheng looked normal: "Sorry."

But Yun Tangyin looked at the tiredness in his eyes and said nothing. This time, it was her turn to reach out and let Fu Yucheng's head lean on her shoulder.

But the problem is...

Yun Tangyin is 1.65 meters tall, and Fu Yucheng is at least 1.85 meters tall. This height difference is real, so Yun Tangyin leans on Fu Yucheng's shoulder, which is natural and comfortable.

Fu Yucheng leaned on Yun Tangyin's shoulder. It was okay for a while, but if he continued to sleep like this, his cervical spine would be damaged.

But it was Yun Tangyin who took the initiative to let him lean on her shoulder, and Fu Yucheng...even though he was uncomfortable, he was too cowardly to want to sit up straight.

The sleepiness was completely washed away in this light and ambiguous atmosphere.

Yun Tangyin could actually feel that there seemed to be an inexplicable ambiguity between the two of them, but this ambiguity was like being covered by a layer of frosted glass...

It exists, but it is as unreal as seeing flowers in the fog.

Yun Tangyin was not in a hurry to develop further with Fu Yucheng. She felt that... letting things take their natural course was the best outcome for a relationship.

Coincidentally, Fu Yucheng thought the same.

So, two people who have a crush on each other, but both insist on letting things take their own course and not taking the initiative...

This can only be the beginning of an emotional tug-of-war.

…

The drive to the Northeast took two days and three nights.

At eight o'clock in the morning on the third day, when the sun rose, Yun Tangyin finally set foot on this fertile black soil.

This is the time when everyone is busy at work and there are many people on the road.

Moreover, the Northeast has both heavy and light industries, and the people are better off than in the capital. There are quite a few cars on the road, and there are also many people riding bicycles. Everyone has a simple smile on their face and a love for life.

Northeast, here we are!
