Chapter 791 I'm a man, not that delicate.
Leyan has always had poor self-care abilities, and the guest room is usually unoccupied, so Lin Minsheng covered it with a dust cover.
When someone came to stay temporarily, Le Yan removed the dust cover and stared blankly at the empty 1.5-meter single bed for a few seconds before rolling up her sleeves and starting to tidy up.
She first found a clean towel and wiped the mattress, then wiped the headboard and all the furniture in the room.
Fu Nian'an had probably never lived in such a simple room in his life. The mattress was quite old, and he didn't know if he would be able to get used to sleeping on it...
Amidst various doubts, Leyan finally cleaned the room, and the next step was to make the bed.
Because we rarely have guests, we don't have spare bedding in the guest rooms.
Le Yan had no choice but to go to her room and get her other clean four-piece bedding set.
Purple floral coral fleece four-piece set.
She was afraid of the cold, so Lin Minsheng specially had two sets made from someone in town.
The set of laundry detergent in Leyan's room is light green with small floral patterns. This purple set was just changed two days ago and washed. When it was shaken open, the lavender scent of the laundry detergent instantly filled the air.
Making the bed was a huge undertaking for Leyan.
Every time she came back before, Lin Minsheng would clean her room in advance and change the bed sheets.
This is the second time she has made her own bed.
The first time was when she returned to Beicheng; she laid out the bed haphazardly in a daze.
The coral fleece four-piece bedding set was quite thick and heavy. When Le Yan finished making the bed, she was sweating profusely.
It seems like it's been delayed for a long time...
She hurried downstairs.
Upon reaching the first floor, they discovered that Fu Nian'an and Lin Minsheng were talking.
To be precise, it was Lin Minsheng who was rambling on in a drunken stupor, while Fu Nian'an sat upright and seemed to be listening quite attentively.
Lin Minsheng was just talking about how Le Yan was naughty when she was little and stole the puppies from Old Wang's neighbor's dog to play with. She was chased by the dog and fell flat on her face.
Upon hearing this, Le Yan felt dizzy and rushed over!
"Comrade Lin Minsheng, you've had too much to drink. Shut up!"
Le Yan covered Lin Minsheng's mouth and looked at Fu Nian'an: "My dad rarely gets drunk, but when he does, he likes to talk nonsense. You must not believe him!"
Fu Nian'an looked at the girl whose cheeks were flushed with shyness and raised an eyebrow slightly. "I don't think Uncle Lin is the kind of person who would talk nonsense."
Le Yan: "...It's normal for people to talk nonsense when they're drunk."
She really didn't want to continue this socially awkward topic, so she said, "I've tidied up the room. You can go upstairs first. I'll go next door and call Uncle Wang to help me."
"I think I'm sober a bit, let me help you."
Le Yan looked him over with disbelief. "Are you sure you're alright?"
Fu Nian'an stood up, glanced at her calmly, and said, "Is that all you've got in my eyes?"
Le Yan: "..." No, that's not it.
In Le Yan's eyes, Fu Nian'an is a god!
In the end, Le Yan and Fu Nian'an helped Lin Minsheng up to the second floor.
Lin Minsheng's room is on the west side, next to the guest room, while Le Yan's room is on the east side, which has the best sunlight and is also the largest master bedroom in the house.
Inside the room, Le Yan put Lin Minsheng on the bed and knelt down to help him take off his shoes.
As she got up again, just as she was about to help Lin Minsheng take off his coat, Fu Nian'an suddenly reached out and grabbed her.
Le Yan turned around, "What's wrong?"
Fu Nian'an stared at her, "A daughter should avoid her father when she grows up."
Le Yan: "..."
"I'll take care of the rest. Do you have any honey water at home?"
"Yes, it's honey from Uncle Xiangyu's own beekeeping. It's all-natural with zero additives. Would you like to try some?"
"Okay, go make two cups, one for your father."
"Okay!" Le Yan nodded, and then said, "We don't have underfloor heating here, and the indoor temperature is quite low in winter. You can help my dad take off his coat and cover him with a blanket."
Fu Nian'an replied, "Okay."
"Thank you, Mr. Fu!" Le Yan smiled sweetly at him.
Fu Nian'an reached out and ruffled her hair: "Remember to go to the car to get your New Year's gift later."
Le Yan smiled even more brightly, "Okay, let's go after I make the honey water!"
...
Le Yan made two cups of honey water and brought them upstairs. By then, Fu Nian'an had already settled Lin Minsheng in.
Lin Minsheng drank the honey water and fell into a deep sleep again.
Le Yan and Fu Nian'an left Lin Minsheng's room and went into the guest room next door.
“Mr. Fu, you’ll be sleeping in this room tonight. I’ve just cleaned it; it’s a bit basic, but I just changed the sheets, so they’re clean. I’m afraid you’ll have to make do with this tonight.”
Fu Nian'an glanced around the room, her gaze finally settling on the purple floral four-piece bedding set on the bed.
He narrowed his eyes.
Le Yan observed his expression and, seeing his reaction, nervously tugged at the hem of her clothes: "We don't have any new bedding sets at home, this is what I usually wear as a replacement..."
Fu Nian'an looked at her, "You seem to particularly like small floral prints?"
Le Yan paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, I like all kinds of small floral prints!"
She paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you really bothered by it? How about I go ask the neighbors if they have any new bedding sets?"
"No need, I think it's fine."
Upon hearing this, Le Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a little wronged for Fu Nian'an.
This is probably the first time a pampered big shot like him has ever lived in such a simple house.
Le Yan gave him a heads-up, saying, "Well, the mattress might not be very comfortable either."
"It doesn't matter."
"The windows are a little drafty, and the wind howls when I sleep at night."
Fu Nian'an smiled slightly, "It's okay, I'm healthy and not that afraid of the cold."
"And these curtains aren't enough to block out the light..."
"Le Yan".
Fu Nian'an interrupted her.
Le Yan looked at him. "What's wrong?"
"I'm a man, I'm not that delicate."
Le Yan: "..."
Fu Nian'an looked into her eyes and said in a low voice, "Relax. I came to see you to make you happy. If my visit adds to your psychological burden, I will feel guilty."
"No, no!" Le Yan quickly waved her hand. "I'm so happy you came! Really! I don't feel guilty at all!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Nian'an smiled and said, "That's good. If you're happy, I'll feel at ease staying here."
Le Yan: "..." Something seems off?
"Let's go get your New Year's present."
"good!"
...
When the two went out again, there were many more people coming and going in the alley.
The joyful laughter of children playing with firecrackers and fireworks echoed intermittently in the alley.
Le Yan and Fu Nian'an walked side by side.
As they walked out of the alley, the streetlights shone on them.
The shadows of the two figures overlapped on the ground.
There is a large open space next to the banyan tree, where some play equipment for children is placed.
A group of children were playing over there, their laughter echoing.
Some of the older children took the incense sticks used for burning incense and lit the firecrackers stuck in the sand, then turned and ran away.
"Chirp~bong!"
The children burst into excited laughter as they successfully detonated a little 'troublemaker'.
Fu Nian'an watched from afar and thought the scene was truly beautiful.
"The atmosphere of the New Year here is much better than in the city. Every household has Spring Festival couplets pasted up, and big red lanterns are hung at the door. It's very festive and has a strong New Year's flavor. Even the fireworks and firecrackers that children play with are more varied than those in our city."
"Is it because the city is more strictly regulated?" Le Yan said with a smile. "Besides, the children in our little village are used to being raised freely, and they even research all sorts of fancy fireworks on their own!"
"Children in the city have better living conditions than children in the countryside, but they are not as independent and free as children in the countryside."
Le Yan nodded. "Each has its own advantages."
The two stopped beside the car.
Fu Nian'an unlocked and opened the back door.
Le Yan stood behind him, watching him bend down and take a gift box out of the car.
It's a really, really big gift box.
The kind of huge gift box that Le Yan could hug with both arms and not see the way!
