Chapter 68 Behind
This is just the beginning! Lin Yan has probably opened the door to a new world!
His "research direction" has gone downhill from the early pretentious and elegant (pseudo) academic papers on "How to scientifically maintain the excitement cycle of a couple" to those fancy recommendation pages on Taobao's homepage!
It's simply indiscriminate! Use any means! No matter what!
If this continues, I feel that I will have problems before I turn 30, and I am afraid that I will be beaten by caregivers in my later years!
No! I have to save myself!
So, I started shaking people like crazy:
Asking Lin Heng for help: "Hello? Lin Heng! Do you want to stay at my house for a few days? Food and accommodation are provided. Play games with me!"
Lin Heng (background sound is the sound of flipping books and wailing): "??? Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about! I have final exams coming up soon! I'm working myself to the bone! I don't have time to be a light bulb for you two! I'm hanging up, hanging up!" Beep...beep...beep...
Asking for help from Xiaoyou: "Xiaoyou! Help me! Do you want to come to my house and play? I'll give you half of the new limited edition millet!"
Xiaoyou (the background sound is noisy Japanese and someone giggling): "Brother Rui! Lao Si and I are playing in Japan! Wow! Akihabara is amazing! Let me tell you, Lao Si..."
Me: “…” I hung up silently. Never mind. It’s unethical to interrupt someone’s honeymoon.
Asking Mom for Help: "Mom! I miss you! I want to go home and see you!"
Teacher Chen (the background sound was the sound of students reading aloud and her majestic explanation): "Chen Rui? I'm teaching the senior high school sprint class and I'm very busy. Wait until the summer vacation. By the way, you and Lin Yan, pay attention..." (I quickly interrupted her, there was definitely no good news behind it).
There is no one to turn to! I am desperate!
Finally one day, when he approached me again with a small box in suspicious packaging and an evil smile on his face, I couldn't stand it anymore!
He suddenly pulled out a huge card printed online with yellow words on a red background from his pocket - "Quit Masturbation" card, and with a "snap", he stuck it precisely on his handsome face that was so handsome that it infuriated everyone!
"Lin Yan! Stop it! You can't dwell on this trivial matter all day long!"
I put my hands on my hips and tried to act like the son of the head teacher.
Lin Yan slowly peeled the card from his face, raised an eyebrow, and a playful smile played on his lips. "Wife, you're not right." He leaned in, his breath brushing my ear. "I'm not a gentleman, nor do I believe in any religion. As our ancestors said, 'People are not lustful only because they are poor!' Now that I've completed my studies and have a free time, I'm full of energy. Why don't you...do some exercise that is beneficial to your body and mind (?)?"
"Beneficial to the body and mind!" I was so angry that I jumped up and down. "That has to be done in moderation! Do you understand sustainable development? Do you understand the long-term benefits? You're draining the pond to catch fish! You're killing the goose that lays the golden eggs!"
Lin Yan put her arm around my waist and smiled confidently, "Don't worry~ Trust your husband's physical strength! He will definitely allow you to... well, develop sustainably."
I cried, feeling drained from my body. "I don't believe you! If you keep going on like this, I'm going to die! Really die! Die young! The kind that'll be all over the news!"
"Okay, okay~" Lin Yan compromised helplessly and rubbed my hair. "I'll listen to you and be more restrained."
I naively thought that he had a change of heart!
It turns out I was too young!
This guy's so-called "moderation" is just torturing me in different ways!
His definition of moderation might be leaving my ass alone, but everywhere else...
The end of graduation season was chaotic, but fortunately, my waist finally got a break between taking graduation photos and completing various departure procedures.
Although Lin Yan, the main cause of "lumbar muscle strain", was still lurking around, he had at least restrained himself a little.
On the day we took our class graduation photos, the sun was so scorching that it could melt the asphalt road.
Our class was scheduled for the afternoon, and we had to wait for other classes to finish filming.
Wearing a heavy bachelor's gown and standing on the uncovered playground, I felt like a steamed bun about to be cooked, with sweat running down my forehead.
Lin Yan, on the other hand, was like a mobile and caring little housekeeper, following me around the whole time.
"Are you hot?" He took a wet tissue and wiped my sweat as if no one was around, his movements as gentle as if he were treating a fragile item.
"Here, a small fan." A small handheld fan was accurately placed in front of my face, bringing a pitiful breeze.
"Are you thirsty? I'm going to buy some water. Do you want it iced or at room temperature?" Without waiting for my answer, he ran towards the store and came back with iced mineral water and a bottle of my favorite iced black tea in his hands.
His series of operations were smooth and natural, as if they were a matter of course.
The classmates around had different looks, some were envious, some were teasing, and some couldn't stand it and rolled their eyes.
I wanted to dig a hole right there and crawl into it. My face was so hot I could fry an egg on it. I protested in a low voice, "Lin Yan! That's enough! I can do it myself! Don't..."
"What else?" He unscrewed the lid of the iced tea and handed it to me with an innocent look in his eyes. "Is it illegal to take care of your wife?"
Me: “…” Okay, you are thick-skinned, you are right!
Finally it was our class's turn to line up.
Lin Yan, who is 185cm tall, was naturally placed in the last row, while I, who am 175cm tall, was placed in the middle of the second row by the class monitor.
Lin Yan looked at us from a distance of two rows of heads, and his handsome face instantly fell. His eyes looked aggrieved like an abandoned large dog, and his ears were almost drooping.
The class monitor was a very considerate person. Seeing Lin Yan's "death separation" look, and then seeing my embarrassed and helpless expression, he couldn't help but waved his hands and said, "Alright, alright, Lin Yan, stand behind Chen Rui! Stand in the center! Front and back! Is that okay? Seriously, I have to worry about your relationship status just for a graduation photo!"
I held my forehead and gave the monitor a look of gratitude and apology. It was really hard for the monitor!
The fourth brother standing nearby immediately started to make a noise: "Tsk tsk tsk, Boss Lin is so powerful! Even the squad leader gave him the green light!"
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows proudly and shot back, "That's right. It's better than some people who can't even see their wives in their graduation photos."
He mentioned meaningfully the fact that Lao Si and Xiao You were studying different majors.
The fourth brother was instantly defeated: "...I give in! Lin Yan, you are so cruel!"
Standing on the steps, wearing a loose bachelor's gown, with the tassel of his hat hanging in front of his eyes.
I looked at the familiar playground and teaching buildings around me, as well as the faces of my classmates, some of whom were familiar to me or just acquaintances, and a belated and strong feeling of separation suddenly surged into my heart.
It’s really time to graduate.
This is the place where I experienced four years of laughter, confusion, struggle and... met Lin Yan.
I subconsciously turned slightly to the side and looked back.
Lin Yan was standing on a step higher than mine, with his head slightly lowered, looking at me with a smile.
The sunlight fell on him, and his eyes under the bachelor's cap were gentle and focused, as if I was the only one left in the world.
Their eyes met, and he silently mouthed, "Look ahead, wife."
I turned my head back, but couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth.
Yes, there is still a long way to go. But I know that no matter where I go, Lin Yan will always be behind me.
“Crack—”
The camera captured this moment.
It captured the youthful smiles under the summer sun, the moment when the bachelor's caps were thrown into the sky, and the close relationship between him and me at important moments in our lives.
