Chapter 420 It would be nice if it could always be like this
Wait a minute, something seems to have gone wrong.
In the future, I only need to do laundry and cooking for Lin Li, but if Lin Li's means of making a living is to open a laundry shop and a restaurant -
Then… doesn’t that mean I have to do all the laundry and cooking for all the store orders?!
It turned out that she was not doing laundry and cooking for Lin Li, but becoming a free laborer in his shop!
Lin Li is very bad.
Chen Yuying closed her eyes because she felt indescribable shame - because she really thought Lin Li was talking seriously about the future.
"I~believe~you~can~do~it."
Phew, luckily I didn’t say it out loud, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing!
Alas, Bai Bufan was given all his sincerity.
"Captain, you can just wait and enjoy yourself when the time comes! I will definitely make a lot of money from the laundry and the restaurant, and then you can live a good life!"
Chen Yuying opened her eyes and met Lin Li's smiling and mischievous gaze. She pursed her lips, suppressed the embarrassment and laughter in her heart, and gently held Lin Li's hand with her backhand. A gentle and somewhat helpless smile bloomed on her lips:
"It's okay, just do your best."
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, I have hands and feet too."
Lin Li was moved to tears. With such a wife, what else could a husband ask for?
But I don’t put any pressure on myself, baby, the pressure is all on you.
"Master, what's with that expression? You seem to have misunderstood me. I meant I have hands and feet, and if things don't go well for me, I'll run away."
Looking at the moved Lin Li, Chen Yuying paused for a moment and then finished her words gently.
Lin Li: “┗(∧｀)┛?”
"So this is what it means to have hands and feet?"
Looking at the girl in front of him who pretended to be serious but couldn't hide the smile in her eyes, Lin Li couldn't help but burst out laughing:
"Hiss—then I suddenly feel that my way of making a living is a bit sloppy. I'm closing it! This damn laundry and restaurant is closed!"
"Actually, I've already received an offer. Neimenggu invited me to be the naval commander. I plan to become a warlord in the future."
"Why don't you go to Suzhou Airport for local service?" Chen Yuying rolled her eyes at Lin Li with amusement.
Suzhou has two airports - Suzhou Meiyou Airport and Suzhou Xiangyao Airport.
"That's fine." Lin Li accepted everyone who came, but then he stopped joking and explained in a gentle voice:
"But seriously, although I'm thick-skinned, your Aunt Wu is quite thin-skinned. If she knew that I was going out with you alone and that you were paying for it all, she wouldn't be able to sleep for three minutes.
I actually have quite a bit of money, more than enough for fun, so when it’s time for me to spend it, let me spend it.”
"Why don't you just go back and say it was your money?" Chen Yuying blinked.
"It's really unnecessary to lie about such an unimportant thing, isn't it?" Lin Li smiled and shook his head.
In fact, Wu Min didn't care. Lin Li was mainly trying to avoid the situation where Chen Yuying's mother might have subtle thoughts after knowing about it.
"Okay," seeing Lin Li's insistence, Chen Yuying no longer insisted and nodded in agreement with a smile, "Then let Master Lin pay for everything next time.
To her, this really didn't matter.
The ordered dishes were served one after another. The waiter skillfully set up the grill and turned on the range hood.
Lin Li stood up.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yuying looked up at Lin Li, somewhat puzzled.
"Since I can only spend money next time, I should be prepared to accept the fact that I'm being kept." Lin Li smiled, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the barbecue tongs and scissors, and looked at Chen Yuying gently.
"Waiter Xiaolin, I'm very unhappy to serve you!"
If you grill meat while sitting, you will find it difficult to exert force. Most people will get tired after a short time and will be unable to continue. However, standing up will not only allow you to exert more force but also will not make you tired.
Chen Yuying supported her cheeks with her hands, looked up at him, and smiled brightly: "I won't be polite about this~"
Lin Liming remembered the formula of barbecue: "If it doesn't feel cooked, it is not cooked; if it feels cooked, it is overcooked; if it feels overcooked, it is burnt." He cut a piece of barbecue into pieces when it felt between cooked and undercooked and put it on Chen Yuying's plate.
"Try it and see how well I control the heat, but remember to be careful with the burn."
"good."
Chen Yuying picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, rolled it in the provided sauce, and then blew gently on it near her lips before putting it into her mouth.
Feeling Lin Li's gaze, the girl nodded heavily in appreciation of the emotional value: "Delicious!"
"If it tastes good, eat more." Regardless of whether it was truly amazing or not, this kind of affirmation always made people feel good. Lin Li responded with a smile, while continuing to concentrate on grilling new meat.
After Chen Yuying ate another piece, she saw Lin Li was still concentrating on grilling the meat, so she asked with concern, "Aren't you going to eat?"
"I'm busy grilling right now. As a perfectionist, I can't be distracted in order to grill the most perfect barbecue. I have to focus, so I don't have any free hands right now. Let's eat later." Lin Li explained while looking at Chen Yuying expectantly.
"Oh~" Chen Yuying nodded in understanding and looked down at her phone.
"...But then again, it will probably get cold and not taste good soon. As a perfectionist, I probably won't eat it then." Lin Li added.
Chen Yuying chuckled, then raised her face with a smile as bright as a flower. She picked up a piece of barbecue, coated it with sauce according to her preference, and said in a clear voice, "Bend over!"
"Okay!"
…
The feeding scene that was impossible last week due to the presence of "extra people" can finally be performed without any scruples today.
How reckless is he?
When both of them were almost full, the tableware lying around was still untouched, as new as ever - the chopsticks and plates had never touched water.
"By the way, could you please talk to the restaurant and get us a four-dollar refund?" Lin Li wiped his mouth with a tissue, looked at the brand new tableware in front of him, and raised his idea seriously:
"Look, I didn't use any cutlery, and I didn't even sit down. I was standing and grilling the meat the whole time. I didn't even ask for service. It's unreasonable to charge this much."
"Then you go and ask for it. I'd feel embarrassed." Chen Yuying smiled softly with her hands covering her lips.
Lin Li nodded and really stood up and left his seat.
"You really want it?" Chen Yuying asked in surprise.
"Of course," Lin Li paused, turned his head, and made a resounding statement: "How can someone give up money for the sake of face? Wait for my good news!"
After saying that, Lin Li strode towards the cashier.
Chen Yuying quickly packed up her and Lin Li's clothes, preparing to abandon her husband and children first.
What good news are you waiting for? You are temporarily depriving Lin Li of his boyfriend status because you don’t even know this person!
However, just thirty seconds later, Lin Li came back, and as his right hand rubbed, the palm of his hand made a crisp sound of coins colliding.
Lin Li opened his palm, and there were four one-yuan coins lying on it.
"Really give it to you?" Chen Yuying was surprised.
How could the store manager accept Lin Li’s logic?
"Why not? I have my reasons." Lin Li said as if it was a matter of course.
"Isn't this the registration fee your boss gave you?"
Chen Yuying glanced towards the cashier counter with some concern. Seeing that everything was normal there and neither the cashier nor the boss gave her any strange looks, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Chen Yuying's thoughts, Lin Li took her hand and walked out of the store while saying hello to the cashier: "Boss, let's go!"
"Oh, okay, take care, have fun, and welcome back next time." The boss nodded and waved with a smile on his face.
Chen Yuying was even more surprised. How could his attitude be so good?
"How did you do it? How did you get the money?" She couldn't help but be curious.
"I won't tell you unless you beg me. This is the price you pay for questioning me." With a smug smile on his face, Lin Li turned his gaze away.
Chen Yuying smiled, hugged Lin Li's left arm and shook it gently, her voice a little coquettish: "Well, please~"
Lin Li was very satisfied:
"It's very simple. Just go over to the boss and say, 'Boss, I just transferred five dollars to you. Please change it to four dollars in cash. Just four dollars will do. One dollar is for labor fee and tax.'"
Chen Yuying: “…”
"Lin Li, I'll give you another six dollars. Add these four dollars and use them to get a number, okay?" Chen Yuying shook Lin Li's arm helplessly and amusedly, her tone pleading with exaggerated intensity:
"There must still be a chance we can be cured, okay?"
"Don't give up on treatment, okay?"
"Hahahaha—" Lin Li laughed, tossing the coin in his right hand and re-explaining, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Actually, I just heard the guests at the table next to me say there's a wishing well in the lake, so I exchanged the coins for fun."
"Otherwise, if we pass by later and we don't have any coins and there are no vendors around, we can only stare blankly. How pitiful would that be?"
"How could that be? I'm actually prepared." Chen Yuying reached into her small bag and pulled out several coins from the inner pocket. "I've thought of everything! I'm not that stupid."
"That's amazing! Okay, I'm the idiot," Lin Li praised generously. He also put the silver coins in his hand into the small pocket and then asked, "Miss Smart Egg, what are the plans after dinner?"
"Rent a bicycle and ride along the lake, stopping occasionally. Otherwise, you'll spend the whole afternoon walking." Chen Yuying looked around and pointed at a bicycle rental stall to give instructions.
"Got it." Lin Li had no objection and accepted the order happily.
The types of bicycles offered by the vendors here are quite diverse, but both Lin Li and Chen Yuying skipped the tandem bicycles and chose single bicycles with a rear seat.
After choosing a car, Lin Li swiftly adjusted the seat to a suitable height for himself, rang the crisp bell, and turned back with a smile: "Get in."
Chen Yuying took a light step forward, turned her body sideways, and sat steadily on the back seat of the bicycle.
The legs, wearing thick leggings under the skirt, are brought together and leaned to one side, with a natural and elegant posture.
As the girl sat down, her arms naturally reached forward and embraced her.
A soft arm wrapped around Lin Li's waist, and their fingers were gently intertwined in front of him.
The familiar fragrance instantly enveloped Lin Li's back. Through the clothes, he could clearly feel Chen Yuying leaning against him gently but firmly. She was so soft, and the weight and temperature of her body seemed to have found the most suitable fulcrum and fell steadily on him.
It was a completely different experience from when I took her on the electric scooter during the National Day holiday.
But then again, we weren't together at all, and our intimacy with each other was very restrained, unlike now, when we have no scruples at all.
It is the familiarity between lovers.
"Let's go." Chen Yuying's voice came from behind with a smile, and her warm breath brushed across Lin Li's neck.
"Got it! Hold on tight!" Lin Li tapped the ground lightly with his foot, and the wheels rolled forward smoothly, leisurely moving along the sightseeing path around the lake.
Although it makes a lot of noise, the speed is actually not fast. After all, the lakeside route is a sightseeing route. In addition to bicycles, there are also pedestrians on the road. Although it is assumed that pedestrians walk on the inside and cyclists ride on the outside so that they will not cross each other, you still have to be careful.
Besides, their purpose was not to hurry on their journey, but to share the beauty of the lake and sky:
The early winter wind, bringing the coolness of the lake water, brushed across my cheeks. Under the gray sky, the wide gray-blue lake surface was shimmering. The swaying reeds on the shore whispered in the wind. A few water birds flew leisurely across the water. Occasionally, I could see a small boat in the center of the lake cutting through the ripples.
The bicycle moved steadily, with a steady pedaling rhythm. The subtle sound of the wheels passing over the ground was intertwined with the sound of wind, water, and occasional birdsong, as if slowing down time.
His left hand briefly loosened from the handlebars, covered the back of Chen Yuying's hands that were clasped in front of Lin Li, and patted them gently.
Nothing.
I just want to take some photos.
Chen Yuying folded her arms and gently rested her cheek on his warm back.
The wind blew through her hair, and a few soft strands of hair got into his collar, making him feel itchy. He felt her breath, her heartbeat, and her unreserved closeness and dependence.
"It would be nice if it could always be like this." Lin Li smiled freely, turned his face slightly, and let the wind carry his thoughts to the girl's ears.
"Yeah." Emotions are always two-way. Chen Yuying hugged him tighter and tighter, and a soft response with a satisfied nasal tone came.
"Yeah, we don't even have to ride downhill, it really saves effort. It would be great if we could ride downhill all the time." Lin Li smiled and nodded seriously.
"Huh?"
Chen Yuying: "(へ╬)?"
Wait.
Is the point of my boyfriend's lament because he is now on the downhill road with her instead of me being with him?
“…”
“…”
"Baby, why aren't you talking? Don't you like going downhill?" Lin Li's voice with a mischievous smile came when Chen Yuying fell into silence behind him.
Chen Yuying straightened up slightly and knocked her forehead against the back of Lin Li's head. She was clearly trying to act angry, but her voice was unconsciously filled with laughter: "You're ruining the atmosphere again!"
"Hahaha--"
Lin Li hummed a tuneless cheerful melody and continued to ride leisurely.
Not far ahead, a child of three or four years old was wobbling on a three-wheeled cart. Perhaps he felt that going in a straight line was too boring, so he tilted his body and without warning turned the steering wheel of the cart diagonally onto the lined road.
"Be careful."
Although he was enjoying the moment, Lin Li did not forget to observe the road section. He immediately stepped on the brakes, and the bicycle slowed down and stopped steadily.
Chen Yuying behind him, due to inertia, her soft body with a slight momentum gently bumped into his back.
Soft, soft.
Soft things need to be said twice.
The child's parents quickly apologized and then took him to the sidewalk nearby.
"It's a bit hot, squad leader, please help me take off my coat." Lin Li said.
"Okay." Chen Yuying took the coat he handed her and held it in her arms.
Lin Li stepped back on the pedals and the wheels started turning again.
The wind seemed to have become a little softer.
The evil Lin Li's purpose had actually changed, and Lin Li's eyes began to scan the road ahead intentionally or unintentionally.
Found an excuse.
Lin Li suddenly stepped on the brakes again, this time for a short, slightly anxious pause.
The arms around her waist suddenly tightened, and Chen Yuying once again uncontrollably crashed into his back.
After Chen Yuying regained her composure, she peered forward in confusion, "What happened this time?"
This time there were no bicycles changing lanes. I only saw a couple walking their dog and their big, docile golden retriever, but they were still some distance away from the car and the route was very stable.
"I just thought the dog was going to run off into the middle of the road."
Lin Li remained calm, staring straight ahead, his foot still on the brake.
"Oh, it turned out to be just a false alarm. I was mistaken. Let's go."
Chen Yuying said "hmm" with a hint of doubt.
Lin Li had a smile on his face, but unfortunately there were not enough pedestrians on the road.
But it didn’t matter. Not long after, Lin Li stepped on the brakes for the third time.
What a pity! Chen Yuying was mentally prepared, and the force of the collision was much lighter this time, turning a big problem into a small one.
It's okay, at least she didn't make a big deal out of it.
Chen Yuying snorted lightly without screaming. She exerted a little force with her arms and squeezed the waist of a certain pervert to show her protest.
Then he leaned forward and said in a slightly annoyed voice, "There's no one on the road this time. What kind of misunderstanding is this?"
"It's not a misunderstanding, there is a little life." Lin Li pointed to the ground.
Several ants were lined up in a thin black line, trying to carry some food scraps that were many times larger than their bodies and of unknown origin.
"Phew—luckily I braked, otherwise I would have killed someone. Amitabha, good, good—"
"Would you stop your car for an ant?"
"This is life! I am a spiritual Yilin! I worship foreign things!"
"Next time, just run over it and don't stop." Chen Yuying snorted, "Drive."
"Wow, so bad?" Lin Li started pedaling again.
"No one can be worse than you, pervert!" He moved one of the hands around Lin Li's waist and quickly twisted the soft flesh on his waist. Although it didn't have much effect through the clothes, he put it back in place and wrapped it tightly, pressing his upper body tightly against it.
As long as they stick close to each other, there will be no sudden collision. Chen Yuying thinks she is a genius.
Feeling the grip on his waist and the warmth on his back, Lin Li also felt that Chen Yuying was a genius.
"Okay, I won't stop." Lin Li promised with a smile, "But you can't let go. If you let go, I'll suddenly feel tired again."
"Could you put your coat on, please?"
"No, I'm hot."
"You're not sweating." Chen Yuying touched Lin Li's forehead, then reached into his collar and touched his spine area, exposing him mercilessly.
"That's because hearts are naturally cooler when they are close. Your heart is close to mine now, so I feel cooler. If you put on a coat, everything will be ruined."
"What a perverted explanation, pervert."
"Oh, I kind of miss summer. If not, spring or autumn will do."
"Don't miss me. I won't give you a chance in the summer. I will stay away from you... I will keep a distance from you that won't allow you to have such thoughts." Chen Yuying said with a chuckle, not wanting to say the word "stay away".
"Haha, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. I will set a trap for you to fall into. Then I will transform into the universe's super-invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex, and you will be finished."
"But I'm not that stupid. I won't fall for it."
"I'm number one in my grade, and you're only number five. You're not as smart as me, and you'll fall for my trick."
"I'm going to tell Aunt Wu."
"I'm not afraid."
"I'm going to tell my mom."
"I, I'm not afraid."
"I'm going to tell my dad."
"sorry."
"coward."
"Woman, you are provoking me, you are playing with fire."
"There's a lake here, and I'm not afraid of fire."
"Then I'll let Bao Wei come and drink it all up, and scare you."
"If he could drink it all, I'd be really scared."
“…”
The sound gradually faded to silence as the two people moved away.
The wind blew up the boy's thin clothes, and the girl's hair danced lightly in the wind.
The sun was shining brightly, the breeze was not too dry, and the stop-and-go cycling around the lake and the casual conversations all exuded the fragrance that only young lovers have.
