Fu Yucheng was afraid that their teasing would make Yun Tangyin uncomfortable, so he gave them all a look that shut them up.
"I'll treat you to breakfast later. You've been busy all day, so order whatever you like, it'll be on me."
After Fu Yucheng finished speaking, Zhou Desheng unceremoniously told his brothers to disperse and go eat.
Two people were left behind.
Fu Yucheng looked at Yun Tangyin beside him, his eyes filled with pity: "Come on, let's go drink some hot water first."
Yun Tangyin nodded and followed Fu Yucheng back to her room.
While he was pouring hot water from the thermos, Yun Tangyin quickly stuffed the sanitary napkins she had bought from Taobao into her bag.
In this era, women used sanitary napkins that needed to be washed repeatedly during their periods. Individually packaged sanitary napkins like these weren't widely produced or promoted yet.
Yun Tangyin, a transmigrator of a book, really couldn't use that simple sanitary belt.
So she could only buy it on Taobao Space and use it secretly.
Fu Yucheng handed the hot water to Yun Tangyin: "I ran into a supply and marketing cooperative on the way, so I bought you some brown sugar to make a drink."
She is gentle, considerate, and attentive.
Yun Tangyin smiled and nodded: "Thank you."
The way those three words were spoken so softly made Fu Yucheng feel a little embarrassed.
After drinking a cup of hot water, Yun Tangyin felt much better in her stomach.
After drinking hot water, she went to have breakfast with Fu Yucheng.
There were restaurants right next to the guesthouse, and breakfast was a very simple meal of meat buns.
The filling in the buns was quite generous, filling the bun skin completely.
Yun Tangyin took a bite of the steamed bun and chewed slowly, when she noticed that Zhou Desheng had been staring at her for a long time.
Tilting her head slightly, Yun Tangyin touched the corner of her mouth: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Desheng, also biting into a steamed bun, chuckled twice: "Sister-in-law, you eat so elegantly...it looks very nice."
He was genuinely praising her.
After all, when the men in the army eat, they devour their food in a flash. Who cares about table manners? Just filling their stomachs is a blessing.
Even the most refined Fu Yucheng eats very quickly.
With Yun Tangyin's delicate way of eating among them, it was impossible for her not to attract attention.
Yun Tangyin could understand, but the reason she gave sounded strange to her.
She smiled and said, "Don't flatter me. Everyone has their own way of eating. If I didn't have to save face in front of you, Brother Fu, I would have eaten as heartily as you."
The perfectly timed humor made everyone laugh, livened up the atmosphere, and explained his "affectation."
Zhou Desheng realized that his words were inappropriate and quickly chuckled twice.
Fu Yucheng glanced at Zhou Desheng without saying anything, but he could tell Yun Tangyin's temperament from her handling of the situation.
"Eat more, you're too thin."
Fu Yucheng's voice was soft, yet it conveyed boundless tenderness.
Yun Tangyin nodded and ate her meal quietly.
A large meat bun and a bowl of soy milk were enough to fill Yun Tangyin up.
After finishing breakfast, Fu Yucheng and Yun Tangyin got back into the car and continued driving northeast.
Fortunately, today's journey took us onto a wide and straight national highway, a newly paved road, wide and straight, unlike the dirt road we had just left the city.
The military truck was much smoother, and Yun Tangyin had a cotton pad underneath, so she sat very comfortably.
But the problem is...
I get sleepy very easily.
Yun Tangyin soon started nodding frantically like a chick pecking at rice, just like yesterday.
Perhaps because he had experience, Fu Yucheng reached out and turned Yun Tangyin's head to rest on his shoulder without any hesitation.
But the difference from yesterday is that... Yun Tangyin is just sleepy now, she hasn't fallen asleep yet.
Therefore, she was fully aware of Fu Yucheng's actions.
Even when she leaned on Fu Yucheng's shoulder, she couldn't help but stiffen for a moment.
Fu Yucheng noticed Yun Tangyin's stiffness and felt somewhat embarrassed: "I was afraid you'd bump your head..."
Yun Tangyin sat up straighter and smiled, "It's nothing, you're just worried about me, but I'm not sleepy right now."
Fu Yucheng nodded.
The interior of the car fell silent instantly.
Neither of them spoke.
Yun Tangyin was no longer sleepy. Watching the scenery rushing past the car window, she imagined what her future home would be like...
In the original storyline, the author sent Xu Runli to Northeast China, and she still remembers those everyday family dramas.
Now that she has rewritten the main storyline, will these plot points also change?
Yun Tangyin couldn't explain it clearly, nor was she sure.
She could only walk around and see.
Just as she was deep in thought, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder...
Looking back, she saw Fu Yucheng leaning on her shoulder with his eyes closed.
Fu Yucheng was the one who was truly exhausted.
He didn't sleep well in his room last night, and then he made a misunderstanding this morning while looking for Yun Tangyin. Now Fu Yucheng is starting to feel sleepy.
But as a soldier, he reacted to drowsiness faster than ordinary people; his head had barely touched Yun Tangyin's shoulder before he immediately straightened up again.
Fu Yucheng remained calm: "I'm sorry."
But Yun Tangyin saw the weariness in his eyes and didn't say anything. This time, it was her turn to reach out and let Fu Yucheng's head rest on her shoulder.
But the problem is...
Yun Tangyin is 1.65 meters tall, while Fu Yucheng is at least 1.85 meters tall. This height difference is real, so it's natural and comfortable for Yun Tangyin to lean on Fu Yucheng's shoulder.
Fu Yucheng leaned on Yun Tangyin's shoulder. It was fine for a moment, but if he really slept like that, his cervical spine would definitely be ruined.
But it was Yun Tangyin who had let him lean on her shoulder, and Fu Yucheng... even though he was uncomfortable, he was too cowardly to sit up straight.
The drowsiness was completely washed away in this subtle, ambiguous atmosphere.
Yun Tangyin could also sense that there was an ambiguous feeling between the two of them, but it was as if it were covered by a layer of frosted glass...
It exists, yet it remains as unreal as looking at flowers through the fog.
Yun Tangyin wasn't in a hurry to take her relationship with Fu Yucheng further; she felt that letting things take their natural course was the best outcome for their relationship.
Coincidentally, Fu Yucheng thought the same thing.
In this way, two people who both have feelings for each other, but both insist on letting things take their course and are unwilling to take the initiative...
This could only set the stage for an emotional tug-of-war.
...
The journey to Northeast China took two days and three nights.
At eight o'clock on the morning of the third day, as the sun rose, Yun Tangyin finally set foot on this fertile black soil.
This is the time when everyone is busy going to work, and there are quite a few pedestrians on the road.
Moreover, the Northeast has both heavy and light industries, and the people there are even more affluent than those in the capital. There are quite a few cars on the road, and many people ride bicycles. Everyone's face is filled with a simple smile, reflecting their love for life.
Northeast China, here we come!
