Yu Hao carefully put the change into his pocket. Just as he turned around, he bumped into Yan Yu, who was coming out of the phone booth.
His eyes lit up instantly, and he scurried over, his silly face beaming with a smile that stretched almost to the back of his ears.
"Brother! My grandpa has arranged everything!"
He was so excited that his voice cracked.
"He said... he said someone would come to pick me up in the spring, and for the next few months, he made me... made me follow you!"
This is simply a blessing from heaven!
Following Brother Yan, you get to eat meat, sleep on a warm kang (heated brick bed), and have a sister-in-law who's like a goddess.
He wouldn't trade his status as the young master of Beijing for it!
Yan Yu didn't stop walking, and didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, only glancing at him indifferently.
That look in his eyes was devoid of emotion, yet it made Yu Hao feel like a piece of meat thrown into an ice cellar, chilled to the bone from the inside out.
“Pick up the body-strengthening techniques I taught you before.”
Yan Yu's voice was so flat that it made the surrounding air feel frosty.
"Starting today, I'll practice on my own."
"If you ever die in some remote corner, think about whether you slacked off today."
Yu Hao's smile froze inch by inch.
A chill shot up from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head, making my blood almost freeze.
He had no doubt that this man could do exactly what he said he would do.
Every word he uttered was dripping with blood.
Startled by the unseen killing intent, Yu Hao's legs trembled, but he instinctively straightened his back and roared as if making a vow:
"Brother! I'll train like crazy! I won't slack off!"
Yan Yu ignored him and turned to leave, coldly saying, "Don't come to my house again unless it's important. You'd better watch yourself."
For a stubborn idiot like Yu Hao, building up his body to be as tough as a brick wall is more effective than anything else.
He nodded to Chen Fengshan at the door as a greeting, then strode off towards home.
Yu Hao stood there like a stake that had been given a command, until Yan Yu's figure completely disappeared into the wind and snow. Only then did he exhale a long breath of white air and turn to walk towards the educated youth settlement.
His brother wouldn't let him go, so he had to go back to the educated youth settlement.
Sigh, these blissful days are numbered; every day we enjoy them will be one less.
………………………………
Yan Yu pushed open the courtyard gate.
A warm aroma wafted over, the freshness of mutton soup and the warmth of firewood, instantly dispelling the chill that had settled on him.
Inside the main room, Ruan Tang was sitting on a small stool by the kang (a heated brick bed), holding a ball of colorful yarn in her arms, staring intently at it.
Beside her, the puppet granny's two bamboo needles flew up and down in her hands, making a soft "rustling" sound, so fast that the movements were almost invisible.
The big orange cat lay lazily at her feet, its fluffy tail wrapped around her calves like a living tiger scarf.
On the table, Xiaobai was munching on a big red date.
Upon seeing Yan Yu enter, its dark purple beady eyes blinked, its little mustache twitched in dissatisfaction, and it even stopped munching on the date.
Hmph, those two-legged creatures went out to play without taking me, the Great King, with them!
Yan Yu turned around and locked the courtyard gate tightly, completely shutting out the wind and snow outside.
He strode into the west room, took off his coat, and changed into some dry, casual clothes.
His gaze swept over the soft couch, where the bedding had been replaced with a brand new set, not the one Yu Hao had slept in last night.
very good.
His slight displeasure vanished instantly.
Yan Yu walked behind Ruan Tang, bent down, stretched out his long arm, and lifted her up along with the ball of yarn in her arms, gently pulling her into his embrace.
