Upon hearing this, Zhao Huanhuan's eyes lit up. A bicycle was great; having a bicycle meant having a means of transportation, making it much more convenient for her to go out.
"Okay, then, just a bicycle will do. Nothing else. I don't need a sewing machine either; I don't know how to use it. And I'd have to go to a tailor to make clothes." She smiled and took the ticket, glancing at it. "And it's a Shanghai-registered ticket?"
Lin Yuan nodded. This was the reward he received after completing a secret mission. They had given him some other options, but he thought this one would be difficult to obtain, so he chose this one.
Later, he was even given a reward of one hundred yuan.
"Okay, I'll take this one. By the way, how much does this bicycle cost?" Zhao Huanhuan wondered if the money in the original owner's bag was enough to buy a bicycle.
"It's a little over a hundred, but I bought this for you, so you don't have to spend any money." Lin Yuan said, taking the bicycle ticket from her hand. She just wanted to show it to her and didn't intend for her to spend any money.
Zhao Huan smiled and didn't argue with him.
After putting the tickets away, Lin Yuan asked, "Is there anything else you want?"
Zhao Huanhuan realized that Lin Yuan must have some money of his own, otherwise he wouldn't keep asking her what she liked.
Putting everything else aside, she remembered that in the original story, the reason why the female protagonist Yang Man was so devoted to Gu Yifeng was because Gu Yifeng's family was not short of money, and he was always generous to Yang Man. Every time he went out, he would ask Yang Man what she liked and what she wanted.
Yang Man always felt satisfied and content whenever she heard such words, and never asked the male lead for anything.
I remember the author mentioning that in this day and age, when other people were dating, the men were always afraid that the women would ask for this and that, but Gu Yifeng was always very generous to Yang Man.
Seeing Lin Yuan doing the same thing, Zhao Huanhuan couldn't help but lower her head and chuckle. Should she also learn from Yang Man in the original book and say something like she didn't want anything?
Lin Yuan noticed her smirking, walked up to her, and asked softly, "What's wrong? What are you laughing at?"
Zhao Huanhuan was too embarrassed to admit that she was having wild thoughts. She looked up at him and shook her head. "It's nothing. When you go back to the army, make sure you have money with you. Let's just have a simple wedding. Don't bother buying a lot of things. A bicycle is enough. That way, it will be easier for me to send letters to my parents when I go out."
Sometimes you can wait for the postman in the village, but that depends on luck, as the postman doesn't know how often he will come to the village.
Lin Yuan chuckled, her eyes fixed intently on her. "Alright, whatever you say!"
As Zhao Huanhuan listened to his soft and gentle words and saw his focused and eager eyes, her face flushed instantly.
I never expected that Lin Yuan, who seems like a tough guy, could speak so gently and have such a sweet and affectionate look in his eyes.
"Then, I'm leaving!" Zhao Huanhuan couldn't resist Lin Yuan's sudden change to gentleness and allure, so she turned and ran away.
Lin Yuan chuckled, watching the door close, and slowly withdrew her hand that had been trying to hold hers.
Why is this girl running away? I'm not going to eat her.
However, seeing Zhao Huanhuan, a girl who could shatter rocks with a single kick, showing such a shy, girlish side warmed his heart. For a moment, he wanted to hold her little hand.
Realizing that her idea was a bit out of line, Lin Yuan quickly coughed lightly, turned around and sat down at the table, silently writing her application letter.
After Zhao Huanhuan returned to the house, Wen Yan had just finished changing her clothes and was about to go to the kitchen to help. When she saw Zhao Huanhuan come in, her face was still flushed. She suddenly leaned close to Zhao Huanhuan and asked curiously in a low voice, "Why did you run away?"
Zhao Huanhuan turned to get a drink of water. "It's nothing."
Wen Yan chuckled and leaned closer to her again. "Tell me honestly, were you shy because my godbrother stole a kiss from you?"
"Cough cough, of course not, don't talk nonsense, we're completely innocent!" Zhao Huanhuan was so startled by Wen Yan's sudden words that she choked on her water and hurriedly tried to prove her innocence.
Wenyan laughed and said, "I was just teasing you. You should rest for a while. Haha, your face is so red, you must have been kissed. I'm going to help my godmother cook."
After saying that, Wen Yan left humming a little tune, while Zhao Huanhuan paced back and forth in the room, fanning her face to cool it down.
Honestly, why am I suddenly blushing? He didn't kiss me or hug me. How could I, a modern person, not be able to resist the flirting of a soldier?
Hey, actually, she's really struggling to keep up!
The most lethal flirting is the kind that happens unconsciously!
Lin Yuan's tough-guy exterior belies the gentleness he only shows in front of me—that's the ultimate way to seduce someone!
During dinner, the Lin family elders kept urging Zhao Huanhuan and Wen Yan to eat.
The two of them also asked Zhao Huanhuan how she wanted to tidy up and arrange the things in the room.
Zhao Huanhuan glanced at Lin Yuan, then quickly shook her head, saying that everything should be done according to their wishes, and she had no objections.
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Mom, I'll tell you tonight how we want to clean up."
Zhao Huanhuan looked at her in confusion, and Lin Yuan winked at her, indicating that she should just follow her arrangements.
Zhao Huanhuan could only smile and remain silent, wondering what he was up to this time.
After the meal, Zhao Huanhuan wanted to stay and wash the dishes. Aunt Chu initially said that it wasn't necessary and that she would do it herself. However, when she saw her son rolling up his sleeves and offering to help Zhao Huanhuan wash the dishes, Aunt Chu immediately agreed and even took Wen Yan for a walk with a smile.
As Zhao Huanhuan tied her apron in the kitchen, she turned around and didn't see Wen Yan, but instead saw Lin Yuan carrying the empty bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen.
"I'll wash them!" She took the bowls and chopsticks, put them in the pot, and started washing.
"Okay, I'll go with you!" Lin Yuan said, then took another basin, scooped up some water, and prepared to wash the baby a second time.
"I can manage by myself!" Zhao Huanhuan said helplessly. His large size made her feel immense pressure standing in the small kitchen.
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Hurry up and wash. I can only spend this much time with you. I want to spend more time with you."
With a thud, Zhao Huanhuan's hand slipped, and the bowl in her hand fell into the pot. Her face flushed red again, and she quickly lowered her head to wash the dishes, not daring to speak to him anymore.
She felt that this Lin Yuan looked honest and kind, but he was quite good at flirting with young girls, and even she, who had lived two lives, was finding it hard to resist.
Seeing that she was washing dishes with her head down and ignoring her, Lin Yuan took the bowl that she had just finished washing from her hands and said softly, "Don't overthink it. I'm just saying what I really think, not just saying nice things to make a good impression on you. I will do what I say."
Zhao Huanhuan thought to herself, "It's precisely because these are your true feelings that I can't bear it!"
However, she knew he wasn't a smooth talker, so she softly hummed in agreement, "I know!"
Lin Yuan chuckled softly upon hearing her response.
