Before leaving, Yuan Qiwen also went to see his second brother, Yuan Qihua.
Yuan Qihua also knew that his younger brother was going to see his older cousin, and instructed his younger brother to listen to his older cousin.
Yuan Qiwen said sullenly, "My cousin has already forgotten about He Yuhan so quickly and found another woman, and they're already engaged."
Second brother, many people say that men are most prone to getting bored easily. Are all men like that? Even my eldest cousin is no exception?
Yuan Qiwen was puzzled by his eldest cousin's behavior, so he asked his second brother for his opinion.
Yuan Qihua, a handsome man with gold-rimmed glasses and a scholarly air, said, "Don't you know what kind of person my cousin is? Don't make judgments without understanding the actual situation. My cousin must have his reasons. You'll understand why he did what he did once you go there."
When you go to your older cousin's place, don't cause him any trouble. You're an adult now and know better.
Regardless of what others say, Yuan Qiwen feels that He Yuhan is not worth it and thinks that she gave her heart to the wrong person.
Yuan Qihua took out a stack of money and tickets and said, "Don't skimp on yourself when you go out. Use this money and tickets to buy some food so you don't go hungry."
Yuan Qiwen took the money from his second brother and said, "Second brother, you should also save some for when you get married. You're at the age where you should be looking for a partner, and Mom is starting to get anxious."
Yuan Qihua laughed and scolded, "You brat, you're already worrying about your second brother's affairs. Mom hasn't even settled my eldest brother's marriage yet, she can't worry about me right now."
Yuan Qiwen chuckled and said, "It doesn't conflict for you to find a partner or for your older brother to find a partner. When you come home for the New Year this time, Mom will definitely urge you to find one, so you'd better think about how to deal with her."
Yuan Qihua laughed and said, "Alright, I don't need you to worry about me. After you get there, listen to your older cousin and don't act like a mule, understand?"
Yuan Qiwen pouted and said, "When did I ever act like a donkey? I'm all grown up now, okay?"
After visiting his second brother, Yuan Qiwen boarded a train bound for City C.
The further north you go, the colder it gets, especially since it's the dead of winter. It was a bit better on the train, but once Yuan Qiwen got off in City C, he was shivering from the cold. He was wearing his thickest clothes and still felt freezing.
Liu Gang, who came to pick up Yuan Qiwen, saw him as soon as Yuan Qiwen came out of the station exit.
Liu Gang waved and called out, "Qiwen, over here."
Upon hearing the voice, Yuan Qiwen saw Liu Gang, and the two brothers, having not seen each other for a long time, embraced each other warmly.
Liu Gang punched Yuan Qiwen and said, "You've grown taller again, you're so much taller than me now."
Yuan Qiwen laughed and said, "That's right, I'm almost the tallest in our class."
Liu Gang handed the thick fur coat he was holding to Yuan Qiwen and said, "City C is much colder than Beijing. Wearing this fur coat will keep you warmer."
"You know what, it's really cold here. My clothes are really not enough."
Yuan Qiwen quickly took off his not-so-thick coat and put on a thick fur coat, and immediately felt much better.
This fur coat was actually prepared by He Yuhan specially for Yuan Qiwen when she knew he was coming during the winter vacation. She had already given it to Han Yixian to take back to the city. However, Liu Gang is not going to tell Yuan Qiwen about He Yuhan now.
Liu Gang, holding Yuan Qiwen's luggage bag, said, "Come on, I drove here, let's go straight home. Brother Xian is still busy at work, he won't be able to go home until after he gets off work."
Liu Gang drove Yuan Qiwen straight home.
Yuan Qiwen entered the house and looked it over inside and out, saying, "Not bad, it's more than enough for you and your cousin to live in."
Gangzi, I heard my older cousin has found another woman and is already engaged. Has he forgotten Yuhan so quickly? Are you just going to stand by and watch?
Liu Gang chuckled and said mysteriously, "How could I object to Brother Xian's good deed? Besides, I'm quite supportive of it. You haven't met Brother Xian's current fiancée; you'd definitely like her if you did."
Yuan Qiwen snorted and said, "I only recognize Yuhan as my sister-in-law, I don't recognize anyone else."
Liu Gang laughed and said, "Alright, you only recognize Yuhan, isn't that enough? You'll see when the time comes."
Yuan Qiwen said, "You're being so mysterious. If you're hiding something from me, you'd better tell me as soon as possible, or I won't let you off the hook."
Liu Gang had a hard time keeping quiet about He Yuhan being alive from Yuan Qiwen, let alone mentioning that He Yuhan was the one engaged to his late brother. He was planning to give Yuan Qiwen a surprise. Now wasn't the time to tell.
Liu Gang prepared a lavish dinner to entertain Yuan Qiwen that evening.
Yuan Qiwen praised Liu Gang's cooking, saying, "Well done, Gangzi, your cooking is getting better and better. Your skills have improved a lot."
Liu Gang said proudly, "That's right. I've been learning from Yuhan for almost two years. Since I came here, I've been cooking every day, so I naturally got the hang of it."
Yuan Qiwen said nostalgically, "Back then, Yuhan was with us and cooked delicious meals for us every day. Those times were truly precious. But we'll never be able to eat Yuhan's cooking again."
Liu Gang thought to himself, "You'll get to eat it again soon."
When Han Yixian got home from get off work, the food was almost ready.
Han Yixian was very happy to see his cousin arrive. "How was the journey?"
Yuan Qiwen was naturally even happier to see his cousin, and nodded, saying, "It went very smoothly. The train goes directly here."
Han Yi nodded and said, "Then let's eat first, and we can talk after we finish eating."
As everyone sat down at the table, Yuan Qiwen looked at the large white steamed buns and meatballs on the plate and said, "I haven't eaten meat in a long time. The last time was when I went to my second brother's place and he bought me a braised pork. I've almost forgotten what meat tastes like."
Han Yixian picked up a large meatball and placed it in Yuan Qiwen's bowl, saying, "Eat more, there's plenty of meat today. How's your second brother doing lately?"
Yuan Qiwen said, "My second brother hasn't been out of school for long, and he's just working as an assistant to some experts. I heard he's applying for a project, but it doesn't seem to be going very well."
However, the country is currently lacking in talent, so I estimate he'll soon be able to stand on his own.
Han Yi nodded and said, "Eat up, eat more. You'll definitely get your fill of food here with your cousin."
Yuan Qiwen grinned and took a big bite of the large meatball. He squinted and chewed the meatball in his mouth, saying involuntarily, "Gangzi, you really learned your skills from Yuhan. It tastes just like Yuhan's."
After saying that, he realized what he had said and glanced at his cousin, who had no reaction. He felt a little angry. Now his cousin didn't even react when he heard Yuhan's name. It seemed that he had really forgotten about Yuhan.
As Yuan Qiwen ate the meatball in his mouth, he suddenly found it unappetizing, even like chewing wax.
Unaware of the truth, Yuan Qiwen began to feel sorry for He Yuhan again. He thought his older cousin was a "womanizer" for falling for another woman so quickly.
He remembered the term "womanizer" from He Yuhan after hearing it only once.
