Chapter 18 The Female Supporting Character in the Control Group—Yaoyao Who Misses Her Husband
Wang Zihui and his childhood sweetheart had another fight, and this time it escalated quite a bit. Wang Zihui called a few of his buddies to go to a bar to drown their sorrows.
Shen Yu didn't want to go. He was used to this guy causing trouble every few days, and they would make up soon anyway. Shen Yu thought that Wang Zihui was just looking for an excuse to drink.
Unfortunately, Wang Zihui was wailing and howling on the other end of the phone, which was really annoying, so Shen Yu had no choice but to keep the appointment.
The four people sat around the VIP table in the bar, and the other three just sat there watching Wang Zihui drink and complain about his grievances.
Shen Yu didn't respond at all, continuing to sip his red wine. He could recite all of Wang Zihui's sayings by heart; every time, he would get drunk the night before and then scurry over to apologize the next day.
Zhao Yan and Li Jiacheng would occasionally offer a few words of advice.
"Come on! Brother... cheers... drink a toast to my... my fleeting love... my love!" Wang Zihui was drunk and his speech was already slurred.
The three men politely raised their glasses and drank with Wang Zihui.
"Again! Brother... Congratulations on... my impending... escape from... this sea of suffering!" The slurred Prince Hui continued to raise his glass.
The three repeated their previous actions, skillfully raising their glasses to offer a toast.
The three of them were already used to Wang Zihui and his childhood sweetheart's bickering.
They drank until after 11 p.m., and apart from Wang Zihui being a little tipsy, the other three were still in good condition.
A phone rang; it was Zhao Yan's cell phone. Wang Zihui, his eyes half-closed from drunkenness, asked in a daze, "Who is it?"
Zhao Yan smiled and said, "It's Cocoa."
Wang Zihui: "Oh."
Zhao Yan answered the phone, listened to the other person, and nodded in agreement. A few minutes later, the call ended.
Wang Zihui glanced at his black-screened phone and looked at Zhao Yan with some envy: "What did your girlfriend say to you?"
Zhao Yan: "She told me to drink less alcohol, that she was waiting for me at home, and that I shouldn't go home too late."
After clicking his tongue a few times, Wang Zihui fell silent. He lay on the sofa with his eyes closed, it was unclear whether he was asleep or not.
Less than five minutes later, the phone rang again. Wang Zihui suddenly opened his eyes and saw Li Jiacheng answering the phone on the other end. There was a hint of disappointment in Wang Zihui's eyes.
After hanging up the phone, Li Jiacheng looked up and met Wang Zihui's resentful gaze. He scratched his head and said apologetically, "My girlfriend is a bit clingy."
Wang Zihui snorted. Although he was unconvinced, he was actually extremely jealous. Look at others!
When you're on the verge of heartbreak while your brothers are having great relationships, and you have to watch them being affectionate without even realizing it, that feeling is just too bittersweet.
Just when Wang Zihui felt like he was about to be drowned in a vat of jealousy, he suddenly thought of someone who was even worse off than him!
"Brother Yu, what has your wife been busy with lately?" Wang Zihui immediately perked up and stopped talking so loudly.
As Shen Yu sipped his cocktail, he leaned back on the sofa and listened to their conversation. When he heard Wang Zihui's question, he replied naturally, "Traveling in Europe."
"Traveling? Your sister-in-law is all alone?" Shen Yu's words piqued the interest of all three people, who immediately perked up their ears.
Shen Yu: "No, I went with her younger brother. He's taking the college entrance exam this year, so he wanted to go out and broaden his horizons."
Zhao Yan, true to his role as the male lead, was quick-witted: "Could it be that my sister-in-law went directly from Shanghai to the country?"
Shen Yu: "Hmm."
Shen Yu's answer was concise. He didn't like to discuss his wife with others. Shen Yu valued his privacy and didn't like to talk about his private matters in public, even if the other party was his brother who grew up with him.
The three were adept at reading people's expressions and realized that Shen Yu didn't want to say more, so they didn't press him for details. But Shen Yu's expression and words were enough for the three of them to imagine a lot more.
From getting angry and going back to her parents' home, to not even returning to the capital, and going directly abroad for a trip from her parents' home, judging from the timeline, it has been more than a month since she left the capital. What newlywed couple with a good relationship would play like this!
In an instant, Wang Zihui felt that he was no longer pitiful. He was not a lonely heartbroken person. He had his good brother with him. At least he had experienced love and being loved. His good brother, on the other hand, had always been a loner. Marriage and being single were no different.
At this moment, Wang Zihui forgot his foolish actions and began to sympathize with his good brother Shen Yu's plight.
Wang Zihui's drunken outburst over his feelings didn't affect Shen Yu's mood. Similarly, the concerned phone calls from his two brothers' girlfriends didn't make him think negatively. Naturally, Shen Yu didn't notice the three of them looking at him with pity.
Shen Yu's heart is full of emotions. His heart is full of his wife Yao Yao. He misses her and respects all her actions. Even though Yao Yao is not by his side, Shen Yu does not feel lonely. Their hearts are thinking of each other even though they are in different places, which is more real than any formality.

At 1 a.m., the party for the three ended, and their respective drivers came to pick them up at the bar entrance.
It's about seven hours behind Beijing time in Europe, so it's just getting dark there.
【Hey, your sweet wife has lost three pounds! (sad emoji)】 Shen Yu had just gotten into the car when he received a complaint from his sweet wife across the ocean.
Shen Yu loosened his tie with one hand, picked up his phone with the other, pressed the voice call button, and said in a particularly charming voice, his voice tinged with the aroma of fine wine: "Husband has prepared all kinds of delicious food at home, just waiting for my dear wife to come and enjoy it at any time."
Looking at the white food in front of her that didn't appeal to her at all, Yao Yao slumped weakly onto the table. Listening to her husband's magnetic and gentle voice coming from her phone, Yao Yao broke down in tears. She missed her husband and the delicious food at home!
These past few days, Yaoyao has felt listless and lethargic, unable to eat. During the day, she had been forcing herself to stay awake so that everyone could have fun, but today she simply couldn't take it anymore. Upon hearing Chen Yu's voice, Yaoyao's emotions completely collapsed.
Shi Dan and Ji Xingyun, carrying porridge and some light food they bought from a Chinese restaurant, had just pushed open the hotel room door when they heard Yao Yao crying loudly inside. The two were terrified and quickly ran in, only to find Yao Yao sprawled on the bed, sobbing uncontrollably, a heartbreaking sight.
"Yaomei, Yaomei, what happened? Did someone bully you? Tell me, I'll go beat him up! How dare they bully my best friend, they're asking for it!" Shi Dan said, rolling up her sleeves as if she was ready to fight someone.
Ji Xingyun was also extremely anxious: "Girl, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Tell us what's wrong, and we'll figure something out together!"
Yao Yao's sobs subsided a little, but she still couldn't stop crying, interspersed with hiccups: "I...hiccup...I miss my...husband."
Shi Dan: "..."
Ji Xingyun: "..."
The sight of a beautiful woman shedding tears is most heartbreaking. Although the two did not understand, they did not say much. Shi Dan gently patted Yao Yao's back, trying to ease her emotional breakdown, while instructing Ji Xingyun to go to the bathroom and use a towel dipped in warm water to wipe her face.
Gradually, Yao Yao calmed down. She sniffed and smelled a strong aroma. Her stomach rumbled.
Yao Yao looked at Shi Dan with a pitiful expression: "Dan Dan, what kind of food did you buy? It smells so good! I'm so hungry!"
Shi Dan affectionately tapped Yao Yao's forehead with his index finger: "You finally know you're hungry! Knowing you didn't want to eat here, Xingyun and I specially went to a Chinese supermarket to buy ingredients and paid to borrow the kitchen of a nearby Chinese restaurant. I made it myself, come and try it!"
After hearing this, Yao Yao was so moved that she wanted to cry again. These past few days, she had been very emotional: "Waaah~ Thank you, Dan Dan, you're so kind!"
Ji Xingyun made a humming sound from the side, and Yao Yao reacted quickly, smiling and saying, "Thank you too, cousin!"
